If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

I once knew a vegan girl who had convinced herself that she'd managed to turn her cat veggie.
I didn't bother trying to convince her otherwise because all she'd have done then was keep the cat inside to prevent him getting his feline dose of McDonalds or Burger King from the neighbours

No need for a gym, complete waste of money and just an excuse to post "Just got back from the gym. Really knackered after that workout!" on Facebook.
An Xbox One and Kinect Fitness. I dropped around 2lb per week and a radical diet change using these.

But if your goal is to put muscle mass on, you can't do that with just an Xbox can you? Yeah you could/would gain to size but nothing like you would in a gym.

You could stand in the living room with the xbox on the floor and then bend down and pick it up (unplug it first) and lift it above your head before returning it slowly to the floor again - repeat this lots and lots of times but ensure that a friend is standing alongside you to catch it if you fatigue.
Wear proper long socks with your trainers and a tee-shirt with a catchy slogan or "Pineapple Studios" on it and you have just about captured that genuine gym experience, for free. |

That's a good, bar bending lift. Almost as strong as me  5x170kg, 4x180 and two at 190kg. That was early this year though, and I've barely deadlifted since, concentrating on squats and benching instead. |

the 180 was after a snatch and clean and jerk session just playing around, reckon I could get 190 fresh. Hit 150x5 beltless today, really need to build that core/posterior strength a bit because the difference a belt makes is pretty embarrassing 
Also got back to playing rugby at uni so lifting will no doubt take a hit but actual base fitness/strength levels should come up a bit

Yeah, no doubt strength will take a hit once rugby starts. I only started to get properly strong once I'd finished playing and coaching - even just coaching was a problem because of the time it took.

Very well played mate, hope it's still going well.
Have so far only lost eleven pounds since Jan (started at 13.7 stones, would love to be 12 stones eventually), difficult but will keep trying.
Am ashamed to admit that on weekends I drank a stupid amount around 06-09 especially. Thankfully those days are gone now, but do still enjoy five-six pints of Boddingtons on a Saturday in my local, gotta have a bit of what you enjoy eh. 
Bought a second pair of running trainers not long ago (to gradually replace my others which are quickly wearing out after 1-2 years). Bought this new pair from a well-known sports chain, and Jesus do they push you for the add-on's:
Gel inner-soles? No thanks
Protective spray? No thanks.
Trainer socks on special offer? No thanks.
Grrr!!
Even more annoying, was that to me, although the trainers were only cheap (£20) they are Lotto which has been around for decades and I was sure they'd be good enough for what I needed, but the cashier kinda half-dismissed them suggesting I go for a £60-£70 pair. I thought, if these are that bad, why do you stock them then? And the retail industry wonders why so much trade is being lost to online shopping...

Having said that, if you're going to do a lot of running, investing in a decent pair of trainers is money well spent, along with a proper pair of socks. Inner soles shouldn't be needed if you get the right pair and if you want to keep the trainers clean with spray you aren't doing it properly. 
I got my trainers from a specialist shop and had gait analysis done to get me the right pair. They suggested, but didn't push, a pair of Twin Skin socks and I got some, which was a fantastic purchase. Not had a blister since I got them and I've run a lot of miles since I started up again.
