It is important for a person to monitor their weight and keep it at a healthy number, but it can be quite harmful to promote obsessive interest in it. A person should not be pressured into assuming that they must loose weight and certainly shouldn't be thinking about it all the time! I would say that doing so is even more unhealthy for a person than not caring. However it doesn't hurt to make a healthy habit of exercise, as long as you keep in mind that your body is beautiful no matter how much you weigh.

It's all about balance. Either end of the spectrum is equally dangerous.

One thing..if you are inexperienced, please get help. Don’t tear yourself up, muscle damage can really harm your kidneys. Don’t let weightlifting be like running in junior high, where they force you onto a track until you throw up and decide to only run for the rest of your life if killers or supernatural creatures are after you. There’s a terrific book on learning to run, by James..something, about incorporating walking. First, just start by walking. After a week, break your walking into either five, or ten minute segments depending on how long you go, and insert one minute per each five or ten of a minimal jog. Minimal. Then each week, increase by one minute. When I ”ran,” I think my final routine was ten minutes of “run‘’ or jog really, one minute of walk, and I could go 13 miles at a very leisurely pace, always keeping that walking minute in each group of ten, and it was both easy, and pleasurable. Make weightlifting the same by getting experienced help. Edit..you’ll learn about “negatives,” if you’ve never been able to do a push-up, first, you learn proper form..then, you start by simply starting in the “up” position, and slowly, controlled, let yourself down. Then, after a while, you can hold yourself just above the floor before you go all the way down. Soon, you’ll be able to push yourself back up, and do real push-ups..balance in weightlifting is super important, in that you don’t want to strengthen one set of muscles without strengthening their opposites..

I used to have an app called Couch to 5K that was really great and I think they have a 10K version too but I didn’t use them and deleted them. Maybe I’ll have to download again though! Although if you’re in really bad shape, may be best to start just walking for a bit first before adding the running. I’m not sure. But yeah. I think I’m gonna get the app again.

I eat whatever I feel like (within reason).
I try and go for a 4 mile run 5 days a week.
These past two weeks I haven't been due to busyness and it's surprising how the stomach starts to bulge again with all the eating and no exercising.

I did try weights at one point but I just couldn't see the point of it to be honest. I'm not really particularly interested in looking like a gorilla .

Excercise enough and you'll become a healthy person.

Dude if you did look like a gorilla you would have to change your name to KingKong.

What does the B stand for

That's a good program. I prefer to self-pace but the timer is helpful for if you're having difficulty upping the intensity on your own time.

Yes..lunges without hamstring strengthening can cause a muscle imbalance that pulls the kneecap to the side..this happened to my sister..always pair exercises to strengthen opposing groups..

I used to run, do weights, do aikido, now I have a program I call “couch to refrigerator” or “ couch to coop to refrigerator,”…

Man, I go to do some chores and come back 8 pages behind. Stopped at the shym (half shop half gym) to get some tools so I snapped a pic. I'm gonna get back to it, hopefully later today. Definitely lazy and retired, but I do have some stuff to do!
