I've been meaning to start a thread like this for awhile but haven't.
I'm just wondering how many people out there work out often or are trying to loss weight.
For those that want to know I'm offically starting atkins tomorrow. I also work out 3 times a week in the mornings and have track and field pratice after school.(I do stuff like discus,shot put, and javelin.)
Feel free to post anything related, like what you bench, any diets, any thoughts, etc.
I am 16. I weigh 153 lbs. I bench 155 max. I squat 275 max. I clean 135 max. We usually run sprinting times for football and nothing like the mile...but last time I ran a mile my time was slightly over 6:00 mins, think it might have been 6:08 if I remember. Though remember it was during PE so I probably wasn't exactly "giving it my all". I hope on playing wide receiver this upcoming season. We weigh ourselves everyday I have conditioning, and I usually gain about .4 lbs a week...but it's not fat weight, it's all muscle, which is my intention.
I just ran today and my ankle was killing me i ran 200m then right after with maybe 2 sips of water i ran 800m -.-
I started jogging and eating better a couple of months ago. Jogging about 80 minutes a day, I lost 25 pounds since january.

I weigh only 113 roughly.. ):
I want to gain weight, but it's impossible. I don't see how people do it. lol
Eh, right now I'm building up muscle mass so my body has something to eat once I refuse to cooperate with it. I have some free weights at my house, but I'm going to sign up to this one gym near me, so we'll see how that goes. It'll definitely help motivate me get back into the full swing of lifting.

Yeah I'm actually trying to put on some muscle...I think I am 5'8 maybe? Idk...all I know is I'm slightly under average height, not short, but slightly under average. I like just had my physical so I got to see all the growth charts etc....on the bright side the doctor said the fact I can bench more than my weight is !@#$in amazing. Only me and 2 other kids I know can do that.
I don't even know how tall I am, but apparently I'm tall. So people tell me.
Anyway, I'm 175ish. I'm fat :(
17 years old, 205 pounds, can do benchpress reps on 150s, and ran 10km (6.2 miles) in just over 45min. I take Tae Kwon Doe twice a week and play a bunch of hobby sports with friends.
Me and Jake have been hitting up the college weight room and fitness center for the past month or so. Every Tuesday and Thursday (roughly) for 1 to 2 hours.

More than yours ;D
Senior year I maxed 180, and could do 3 sets of 155. I weighed and continue to weigh 160. I can't do as much now but I'm gettin back up there.
In seventh grade I ran the mile in 5:45. Again, I probably couldn't run a mile in the same amount of time.
Never maxed out in cleaning or squatting.
I don't really work out, however I take part in sports which is a much more fun way to do so. I skateboard atleast four hours a day (when it doesn't rain) and my legs are fairly fit. Right now, I'm trying to gain weight since I'm pretty skinney and skateboarding does not help since all it does is make me burn calories without allowing me to work up my upper torso, which is primarily what I need built. I also play street hockey every now and then, which is great excercise.
I'm turning 16 in around 8 days (1st of may) I weigh around 78 kg i don't work in lb's like Americans ahaha. I don't usually intend on counting how much i bench etc but i go to the gym 5 times a day and after Gym i usually do laps and head for the sauna;D. I also do alot of sports like basketball and Aussie Rules Football or for the Aussie people here (footy) ahaha.
My primary sport of choice to get me into shape is rock climbing. When it comes to exercise, my biggest combatant is boredom. I easily get bored and lose interest/motivation. With rock climbing, you never get bored. If you do, just look down! Plus it's a full body exercise, demanding everything from fingers to toe strength. I used to go to the gym regularly when I was in the desert, and if I remember correctly, the highest I ever got with a max set was 225lbs. I haven't gone to the gym in forever now, mostly because I am not trying to put on weight (if anything, I'd like to be "lighter" or rather, "smaller"). I sit steadily around 165lbs at 5'10".
I've done several different routines to get into shape, but honestly, when you want to get into shape, and lose weight, eat less, exercise more. It's a very simple concept. There's no magic pill that will get you into shape, and quite frankly, why spend money on weight loss pills when you can just ram a finger down your throat and throw up everything you just ate anyways? That's free!
Lol scotty.
Some info about me then weigh around 250 and have a height of 5' 8". I'm hoping to drop at least 70-100 pounds with atkins. Oh and I'm 16 years old.
My one rep for bench is probably fairly close to 200. And in track we usally end up running around 1 mile a day or so.(Half a mile to warm up, then half a mile of indian laps for the throwers) So I'm hoping that will help out.
Oh and pwnage I also play football. At our school recievers don't do much because we do little passing.(Which sucks for them)
Oh, I should probably toss in that I'm six foot, 200 pounds. I've got some flab with me, but a lot of muscle too, could go for some weight loss though, that's for sure.
I work out 5 times a week with my buddy. We made up a perfect training plan for ourselves we strictly follow. I've also recently changed my diet.
17, 5'11, 230 pounds. I don't exercise, unless you count walking a billion stairs on my way to city college classes every m/w/f. The only reason I'm a bit overweight is just because I'm lazy, and hard to get motivated. I was born and raised vegetarian, so I eat pretty healthy. I've had the same stomach on me, give or take a few pounds, since late elementary school, and it's never really bothered me. I do hope to get off my arse this summer and try to drop 30 pounds or something.

Im 18 and currently weigh around 215-220 at 6'0''. I haven't exercised a whole lot in the past couple of years but currently I got a job which I have to ride my bike to and from. It takes 20 min to get there on bike, as well as the 20 min to get back home... I am working full-time as well and am constantly on my feet. (I work at Subway). So far I notice I have dropped about 5lbs and have gained stamina when riding my bike etc, and I have only been working for about 2 weeks.
When I last benched back in like 9-10th grade I could easily lift 170-180. I havent benched since then so now it is probably pretty bad haha.
When I was younger I used to play soccer. I played from the time i was in 1st grade up to 8th grade. I also played basketball and 1 year of football. Me and a bunch of friends used to play football every friday after school was out, and I still play basketball sometimes.
I'm 14 years old, I'm about 5'7" Or 5'6", I weigh 115 pounds. and have been working out since December 08. I'm not in the process of losing fat, or unwanted weight, I started working out cause I wanted to tone my abs, and just look nice. My workout dosen't consist of going to the gym, because I wont bench press at my age, because I'm not done growing, and I read that if you benchpress and do all the gym exercises, you can end up ruining your body's growth. Anyway my workout usually consists of Crunches, Sit ups, Push ups, Burpe's, Using Dumbells, And going for an hour jog. <<I do all this 3 times a week, then I have soccer 3 times a week so that helps. I usually work out for about 2 hours a day, and it consists over 250 ish pushups with intervals of 50. 350 crunches intervals of 75, 150 sit ups, intervals of 25, and 100 burpe's intervals of 20. And Usually 200 reps for each arm with 20-30 pound dumbells. From all this work, and I am still consistently doing this routine, I have gotten the look, and build I wanted ;D

Yea, I'm a bit overweight. I don't excercise though we have a 24 hour fitness center in our apartment complex. I've used it a few times and it makes me self concious. I should probably get over that I guess. I'm pretty steady at 175, around 5'8/9". But, I'm also old. I didn't put on that weight until around 22/23. Before then I was about 135 (extremely skinny). I don't eat poorly, but I don't really try to eat healthy. Whenever my fiance goes on a diet I end up losing weight though...
Well, gymnastics has got to be the best workout I can thing of, being as you use almost every muscle of your body. But you can't really continue gymnastics after highschool unless you're good enough for a college team or maybe teach at a gym. Anyways, I'm 20, 5'7" and 145 lbs. I work out less often than my highschool days since gymnastics was 5 days a week after school for 3 hours... 2 days a week for 2 hours the rest of the year...
As of now, I've taken yoga & snowboarding at my college and I go on walks, go biking and on some rare occasions I rollerblade. I eat slightly more healthy than I used to, as I drink way less pop and eat way less candy. Which is probably why I haven't really gained much weight since my gymnast days.
Also, I hate any guys who struggle to gain weight... >_> I hate you allllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!
I do track and play soccer. My mile run is 5:46, I weigh around 130~135 lbs(I tend not to gain much weight I just bounce around those numbers) and I think I'm 5'8". I don't bench often but I max out at 135 (which I suppose is more like 120 but the bar itself weighs 15lbs.) I like to work on my upper body strength, I can do about 150 chin-ups in a row :P

Out of curiosity, I'd like to know why you believe vegetarians are overweight from lack of meat. From what I've seen in America, the majority of our obese population consume inordinate amounts of animal flesh, and I've yet to see an overweight vegetarian (possibly due to the fact that they're very scarce or I've not been on this Earth long enough).
Anyway, I suppose I'll also throw in the fact that I'm 5' 8" and weigh 127 lbs. I'm hoping I'll do a bit more growing in college, but overall I'm comfortable with my height if I never did any more growing. Also, I'd trade my metabolism for yours any day, DT. I'm tired of being a twig.

Sorry Trog but you can't use that as a counter example to foG's statement. The majority of America's obese population is caused by sweets and carbohydrate addiction, not because of the consumption of "inordinate amounts of animal flesh".

While that is probably true, it also would have nothing to do with being vegetarian or not. It would mean that a vegetarian could be very healthy, and in most cases are healthy because they tend to have to watch what they eat very closely to make sure they are getting the right amount of nutrients (such as protien). Saying vegetarians are mostly fat because they don't eat meat is pretty ignorant. As ignorant as saying people who eat meat are fat because they eat meat. People get fat because they eat too much food in general and don't excercise. The type of food you eat, at least in my opinion, has less to do with your weight as how much you eat, and how much you excercise.

'Course I can. You have a good eye, but not good enough.

Meaning, my
opinion I've formed from being alive in this world. Influenced by documentaries, namely Supersize Me, and general statistics I've come across from well-known authors, such as Victoria Boutenko, I've drawn my own conclusions to the subject. You are entitled to your opinion of obesity being caused by sweets and carbohydrates as much as I am. Next time, please do try to read my entire post. It seems the majority of the counter-arguments I experience is from a lack of understanding.
Edit: @Lingus: I completely agree with you. No matter what lifestyle you're living or what diet you're on, you can still be unhealthy. Though please understand I was not insinuating in my post that those who eat meat are fat simply because they eat meat. I know a lot of healthy people who consume meat, and I never meant to sound like meat was the main cause of obesity. I was using the consumption of meat as a counterpoint to FoG's argument, where consuming meat does not cause one to have a healthy weight, and those that do not (such as vegetarians) are obese.

Psh, I've actually lost weight since I began drinking. I weighed 170 junior year, and now weigh 160. Probably from losing muscle haha.
I'm 6'3" and 153 pounds. I suppose I should pick up some weight, but I get around to lifting and running during the week.
alittle about me, im 5' 6" and 150 pounds. i walk, about i would say, 4 to 6 hrs, a day while pushing/pulling shopping carts. each shopping cart weighs around 60 pounds and i push between 1-25, capable of 38, by hand although 10 is the normal. 60x10= 600 pounds although they are on wheels so im probably not pushing all that weight on flat ground. 38x60=2280 pounds. and no im not chiseled, in fact i got alittle bit of a stomach.
unfortunately i suck at lifting things, only about 85 pounds, plus i have to be very careful when lifting since i had 2 hernias when i was younger.
when i first started at walmart as a cart pusher i was 144 or 145 so the 5 pounds added is probably mostly muscle.
You all make me feel fat!
I'm only 5'3" and I weight roughly 130. I used to work out a lot too. I don't think I can remember how much I squat, but my benching max used to be 250, believe it or not. :-\

I'm over it.
Figured I might as well give this a mega bump.
In just about 2 months I've lost 40 pounds, and feel a lot better. I can actually run now without complete dying. Managed to run about 2 miles with breaks in between laps.(Part of football training).
Anyways might as well try and start this back up if anyone cares at all.

I'd be anorexic if i lost that much... lol. Congrats though, that's a lot to lose in 2 months.
And your a football player? What the hell is wrong with you?! You should be gaining weight not losing it!
Well, I'm 6'0" give or take, 17 years old, and weigh 135 lb. I'm skinny, but I'm pretty toned (6-pack and such). I don't go to any gyms so I can't tall you what I bench, but last I checked my mile run was 5:21 which is pretty solid for not having any organised training.

Depends on what position you play, doesn't it? And it also depends if those pounds are muscle or fat ;)
