IHeartExercise 's Intro post

[IHeartExercise]

Is this the introduction thread?

I just signed up. I am not doing any drastic weight loss. Just almost 10 lbs that I have gained over the past year from traveling and so forth. Lost a lot of my muscle because I wasn't in the gym religiously/everyday like I was used to being. So getting that back, as well.

I am about to burst out of my size 4. I figured I'd get serious about this before I'm having to buy new clothes and panicking because I have more weight to lose. Get it before it gets you.

Thanks for all the motivating words I've read so far. I look forward to reading more and board-mingling with a very driven group of weight loss and fitness winners like you all.

Nope, this is a thread where I rant about about basic concepts.

Welcome to the community though. If I was an effective mod, I'd move this post to the appropriate forum.

But I'm incompetent, lol.

Thanks, Steve!



Everytime I click on the newcomer forum I see this sticky and a bunch of introduction threads.

Does everyone create an introduction thread instead of there being one big introduction thread for all to post in?

Yea, people usually post their own intro thread or they jump right into the forum. I don't think I ever created an intro thread, personally. I started by creating a diary.

I then went out and started replying in whatever threads interested me and established a 'persona' for myself.

However you go about it, post and they'll come.

Update.

I lost the weight and found that my muscle tone is back to where it used to be. It was just hiding under the extra 7lbs that I had gained. Kind of. The good thing is that I never had to get rid of my size 4s. I know that busting out of a size 4 is laughable to some or doesn't seem like a big deal to most but it's always based on what you're used to.

Anyway back in the gym religiously and everyday. Got the home gym back up and going.

I was never an overeater or someone who ate the wrong stuff. Just traveling made it so I could not eat the fresh fruits and vegetables that I was used to. I'm back eating the meals that I love-they are mostly vegan and vegetarian meals.

Life is wonderful. Good luck to those who are trying to lose and maintain!!
