Hey, sixsevenoff here. I recently turned 21. Prior to my senior year of high school I had always been 5-10 pounds overweight, and outside of baseball, which isn't the most active sport, I was a lazy ****.
Senior year (17 years old) my mom told me she'd get me a planet fitness membership if I wanted, since she was getting one...I had never really thought about it, but sounded cool, thanks mom. At first I started going every day with a friend, but still ate like complete ****. I lost five pounds overall senior year, but looked decent.
Welp, leading up to freshman year of college I decided I could look and feel REALLY good if I dieted properly and also amped up the workouts. Just like that, no joke, I completely stopped eating all junk foods, kept calorie counts, and added ~30 minutes to my workouts every day. I have kept on this all through college. Junk food means literally everything from a piece of candy to crackers, yes that strict. My only cheat is beer, which I enjoy 1-2 times a month (since I turned 21 of course
)and notice zero adverse effects.
I have missed about five days at the gym over the last four years, and only due to either awful cold or two cases of extreme hangovers. I am male, 5'11", 165 pounds, and look great.
If anyone needs any help with dieting or exercise plans, let me know! If I miss the gym, I feel empty. I can't imagine playing cards without a workout beforehand.
