30 more to go to be back to my state of normalcy! Healthy eating and exercising is finally paying off! I don't exactly have people to share it with in real life.. So on imgur it goes
MV Edit: shucks.. Most viral.. You guys/gals make me feel so good about my progress, even though all I want to do is eat fried foods and smash a burger into my face hole. But instead get to chew on kale salads (I hate em.. I hate em so much). Your internet support is truly inspirational! Fucking love u guyzzz...
Edit part 2: I go to bed around 9.. 10pm during the week, totaling 6 to 7 hours a night. Weekends are a free for all though.. It is Saturday and I am still in bed at 12:45 pm. Sleep is super important for body recovery and keeping that metabolism going strong, don't skip on it. Once I get to my goal weight is when I plan to stop being strict with myself, until then though, I will keep watching female mma fighters for my motivation and keep at it!
DovahkiinSlayer
What time do you go to sleep?
TinasEroticFriendFiction
Super jealous, have no motivation these days. Good luck with the rest!

Get after it! Gj!

I'm so not a morning person, but I'd love to wake up this early to exercise. My plbm- I'm motivated until 1 day I don't do it & fail again
JadedCynicism
Omg, that ^ yes, so much to that! Discipline has been a bitch, and taught me a few things about myself
dickbutttt
yeah well...ive been going to sleep at 4am

I just started morning workout too! Hope to lose a few kg. What program do you do? How many days per week? How long?
JadedCynicism
I started off with the beginners bodyrock.tv program because it requires no equipment. 5 days a week, about 40 minutes a session....
JadedCynicism
It has been since July. So almost 3 months for 12lbs. I have also kept track of the amount of food I consume, & have been updating my diet
DYLANLEE79
If the choice is 4 am or fat, I'll stick with fat.
JadedCynicism
It's not THE choice, it was my choice though.
DigiRust
Good job.
nofaithleft
congrats OP!
JadedCynicism
Thank you! As a past anorexic, doing it the right way has been slow but oh so rewarding!!! Plus.. Who doesn't like some curves?
nofaithleft
you're welcome! I'd say: kids don't like them. I learned to appreciate curves as I grew older
PrinceSamaSanChanKun
I lost 11 lbs after breaking up with my ex alone
JadedCynicism
Been there, done that! This time around I am trying to motivate my man to lose the weight with me, so we can both be proud and grow together
PrinceSamaSanChanKun
That sounds great! For me, taking the toxicity out of my body really helped me
JadedCynicism
Teach me your ways!!!
OuchYoureonmyhair
That's pretty awesome. Not many have that discipline or stay motivated.
JadedCynicism
It is a daily struggle.. But damn it, I want to look good naked ? and I also want to feel comfortable in my own skin.
OuchYoureonmyhair
I hear that. I've gotten lazy. Maybe I needed this as motivation to get back to it.
Butane9000
I've lost 18 pounds simply by keeping myself to around a 2K calorie diet. I was eating 3-3K calories a day. I started last week of june 1/
OverlordEd
Nice
Butane9000
at 207lbs. and I weighed myself at 189lbs. today. Goal weights 185lbs. and I'm waiting to see the plateau to start exercising. 2/2
Butane9000
sorry 3-4K*
JadedCynicism
I hear you! Once I actually tracked how much I ate a day, I realized I was around 3k. Just changing & lowering that has helped tremendously
JadedCynicism
You are almost there, keep it up!!!
Butane9000
What I realized is I need to cut back on the water I drink. Was drinking to much and gaining and then losing a bunch of excess water weight.
JadedCynicism
Wait.. That's a thing? How much is too much water?
Youdontdeservesteveharrington
damn. i usually wake up at 5 for work, id have to wake up at 3 to fit workout and shower before work.
Wanderingmaniac
How many hours do you sleep?
JadedCynicism
Depends.. I try to go for 7 hrs a night. Lately it's been around 6 or so.. Feel like an old lady going to bed by 9/10 pm
JadedCynicism
Getting enough sleep is a huge part of metabolism upkeep though. It all works together!
Wanderingmaniac
Exactly. That's why I wanted to know. Imgur keeps me up at night lol
docchloroplast
Honestly, I wish I could actually FALL asleep around 9-10 to be able to be up by 5 and get my run in. I actually end up sleeping around 12.
JadedCynicism
I discovered this thing called 'sleep study' helps me fall asleep within 15 minutes or so.. Rubbing one out also helps..
Walmartstallwithnolock
..... Due to the stress from lack of sleep
JadedCynicism
I wish it was that easy!!
QuizabellaOfBrain
Consistency is key!
Amousewithchees
Remember to stabilize your weight once you hit the goal! But great job so far.
JadedCynicism
Uhm.. I was wondering about that, how the ef does one do that?
Amousewithchees
I won't say its easy to do, but basically instead of just going off the diet completely, you allow yourself a little more of things you like
Amousewithchees
until you stop loosing weight. If you start to gain weight you've gone too far. Basically keeping your body at a stable healthy weight is
Amousewithchees
an ongoing process.
JadedCynicism
That's something I get to look forward to. But also why I am changing up my diet now, so it kind of stays stable once I reach my goals ?
Gavener
I cut carbs and did well, plus i walk like 6 miles a day at work, but my body is used to it now, Good job !
GoToQuirkProviderZooeyDeschanel
I did the same thing - 5am, though. So far about 25 lbs down, which is a weight I haven’t been for around 30ish years
JadedCynicism
Fuck yes!!! Congrats!
MightyTightyWhities
Question, how does your energy level feel towards of the day?
GoToQuirkProviderZooeyDeschanel
I have a slump about 6pm, but only if I sit idle. If I keep doing stuff, I stay awake
Indigonuts
Awesome! I do 5:30 a.m. workouts and am down about 50 pounds since past August. Keep it up!
PrincessWasabi
Try fresh Kale with roasted slivered almonds, sundries tomatoes, shredded Parmesan, & balsamic vinegrette dressing! top w/grilled chicken?
JadedCynicism
I thought u were supposed to cook kale.. Pretty sure fresh kale is not exactly good for u. I mean ruffage is ruffage in the end. Thanks!
JadedCynicism
That sounds pretty delicious
PrincessWasabi
I'm not sure, I've had fresh kale at restaurants before even chic fil a
iamthisguy247
I could never do that. But I’m impressed you can. I’m not an early riser so I do most workouts after work.
ohijustcantwaittobeking
I always do late night workouts instead. Probably less good for ya but hey nothing like lifting weights alone in a gym at 11pm
iamthisguy247
11pm workouts are better than no workouts.
PeteButtigieg
All it takes is 1 time to do it. Wake up, work out, go to work. By the time 9pm hits you'll be so tired you'll pass out and wake up at 5.
PeteButtigieg
And put your cell phone in a different room than where you sleep.
iamthisguy247
Yeah I need better sleep habits. I fall asleep on the couch with the Tv on 90% of the time.
JadedCynicism
That's a smart idea! i use an app that makes me do math when I wake up to shut it off, lol
narcolepticturtle
I had that. After a while I solved them in my sleep and woke up late everyday.
ceramicpear
45 more lbs for me to go!But I just got married and cheat week has been nice. It’ll take me at least a few weeks longer to get back in track
JadedCynicism
Mmmmm.. I dream of cheat week as I munch on kale salads. You got this, and congrats on 1 dick forever thing ?
ceramicpear
Haha thanks. Yeah I feel ya with the salads. I love them, but it’s getting a bit monotonous.
ceramicpear
Btw, how did you know I’m a woman? Unless you creeped on my comments lol
JadedCynicism
Haha. U said u are married.. & I assumed from how u spoke about food that u must be a woman. Guys are more rigid in their speech about food
JadedCynicism
So.. An observational guess..
ceramicpear
That’s impressive!
WorldOfHurt
Well done for losing weight. Now start using the word "normality" because "normalcy" is not at word.
Ponden
Colloquial adaptation happens. It’s ok.
weezlhed
Took the words right out of my mouth.
primusnominetandemnomine
I used to wake up 3:37 AM for cram school. I never exercised but I lost a lot of weight too. Mostly from stress but still
JadedCynicism
Cram school?? What's that? Yeah, I wish I lost weight when stressing, haha, my body's like "what is happeninnnng, I am holding on to all..
JadedCynicism
fat just in case!!!"
primusnominetandemnomine
I think it's the right translation. Basically, I failed my college entrance exam, so I paid for special classes where we, well, cram
primusnominetandemnomine
3 years of high school into one year of studying. It was long, stressful and insanely bad for all aspects of my health, but it sure worked.
JadedCynicism
Congrats on survivng that ish!!! And persevering! As long as it worked, fuck yeah!
chaiman
How do you wake up that early? Its gotta be more that just 30 alarms !?!?
JadedCynicism
This alarm called 'i can't wake up' makes u do math and solve puzzles to shut it off. I also took my time before actually waking up that...
JadedCynicism
early by gradually moving my wake up time to 30 minutes earlier each week
chaiman
does the alarm keep ringing until you solve the problem? My roommate might not be a fan of that
JadedCynicism
Yes.. But it goes at 20% volume as u are solving the puzzles. If u take too long it gradually gets louder
chaiman
Oh thats even worse. Impending doom. I will give it a try. Thank you kind sir.
swoopdewoop
I already wake up at four for work, NOT getting up any earlier. Good on you though.
JadedCynicism
I did that a while back, kinda how I knew I could do it again. You deserve all the monies for waking up that early! Hope they pay u well
swoopdewoop
One of these days! Thanks OP! Stick with it!!
Kuvajainen
I should do this. But my scumbag brain likes to sleep from 4 am to 10 am only.
JadedCynicism
Only? Hahaha! You win the internet today ❤
Kuvajainen
Yup, only. It's neurological. 6 hours and I'm awake. It could be thought as winning, but it doesn't fit that well to the society rythm!
Kuvajainen
But yeah, we have a saying here: If it wouldn't make me laugh it would make me cry!
JadedCynicism
Holy shit, I am sorry but that is kind of a cool thing! I thought u were joking. I need to know more!! Is it a form of narcolepsy??
MM2SS
I wake up at 4 am every day... Just go go straight to work
OverlordEd
For me its 4 am AND fat :D but thats bc of work not excercise
mulattopantz
Ugh I've been there. Not a pretty site.
JadedCynicism
Def been there too! But when u go to work that early, u have more time in the pm.. vs getting home around 7pm tired and hungry
demaude
Some people (me included) just can't do stuff in the morning. Even on saturday mornings when I slept enough I don't have the strenght (1)
demaude
I have when I workout in the evening... but training in the morning is a good thing if you can do it (2)
spookyS
If you have to wake up at 4am then that means you sleep earlier at night to get full rest, so in the end it's the same really
PonyMadness
I wish that were the case for everyone who wakes up early for work. 2am - 9pm is an average workday for me
dinosaursarentreal
You making mad money or something? I hope you get better work life balance... That's too much (unless you're LOVING your job?)
PonyMadness
Usually 210 hours on my paychecks. Three weeks on, two days off. The money is great but you have to give up pretty much everything else
JadedCynicism
I get what u're saying, but there is a difference between working out at 4pm, the sun is still up, vs trying to motivate urself to do the...
JadedCynicism
Same at 8p. Which is why the am option workes for me. I get that it's the same hours of the day, but mentally/psychologically, it matters
spookyS
Good for you man/woman, keep up the good work
