That's good to hear, to stay motivated choose a goal, a good workout routine and diet regime that fits your goal.
If you also recently quit drinking don't just stop it forever my doctor said that i must drink at least once per week because if i didn't i might have problems like blackout and others, so before you totally quit lower your alcohol dose to 90% but don't stop it like that, my advice.
I now only drink on weekends and sometimes only twice per month.

well you can start having a beer (or glass of any alcohol you used to drink) once per week for like 2 or 3 months after if you feel that your body is adjusted to this current dose and your body is not craving for more alcohol then you can drink once every 2 weeks. I did this last summer and last winter i used to drink like once per month but now you know it's summer so i only drink once per week with friends on events (2 glasses maximum).

Hey, this thread quite the good idea!
I hope you people don't mind, I'm a bit younger than most on this thread, but after all I'm Christian (Orthodox).
Just a little something; "Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid nor dismayed for the Lord is with you wherever you go."* Joshua 1:9.
I look forward to talking to you! ^^

Happy Sunday, all.
I really like this song because God's love is so pure. No hidden agendas. No motives. He doesn't only give it, if we give Him something. He loves us despite the mistakes we make, and have made. I have strayed from God, and every time I do, I always come up empty. Whatever or whoever has pulled me away, has never measured up to God's love for me. If anything, I am left saying...'I turned my back on God...for this? Ugh.
Guess lessons sometimes have to be painful, lest we would forget them.
Have a good rest of the weekend!

Nice to see some fellow Christians on this site! We must remain careful not to put ourselves before God, but stay humble. I think we can all agree this is hard when you are getting new muscle curves every week and you find yourself wasting lots of time looking in the mirror! Haha!
I hope some of you are trying to share your faith with others, I know it can be challenging as I struggle with it myself. The impact we can have on others in a gym could be substantial if they see that we can love God and continue to work out and better ourselves. Especially to those of you who are huge, you wind up being a role model to people who you have never talked to. Perhaps even a Christian T-shirt could save a life in the gym.
Remember, people are always watching us Christians, we must stay faithful, righteous, and true so that our lives will be a living testimony to others!
God Bless!

I'm an atheist who personally places a very high value on charity, kindness, vigilance, and avoiding hate and judgement.
I also abstain from all substances. Never had a drink, a drug, or a smoke. Never will.
So I end up relating with a lot of Christians. My best pal is.
My work out motivation is something else entirely though. It is purely Darwininan. To earn the right to exist and the right to eat.

Graduated from there in 09, great school. HIGHLY updated gym the year I left. Haven't been back in a while, but keep an open mind, don't get too sucked in to the Christian bubble that the school is and you'll be great. I learned a ton and my walk grew immensely, but it's very easy to get sucked in to a "higher than thou" attitude and forget what Christianity is all about. Go ahead and shoot me a PM if you have any questions!

Hey! So nice to see other Christians on here. I am huge on taking care of our bodies and being fit to serve God, not just spiritually but physically-being ready to go where we're called without having to make excuses for ourselves because we've neglected our bodies and have lived based on impulse.
I feel called to start a boot camp for teen girls under that same premise of taking care of our bodies and being prepared for anything God calls us to (in combination with a Bible study to develop our inner beauty and character, as well). I thought about doing a bikini competition just for the purpose of being able to say, "If I can accomplish this after having 3 kids, you can do it!" but I'm having a really hard time consolidating my faith with walking around half naked on a stage and getting my physical appearance judged when God says that he judges our hearts and a woman's beauty should be evident in a womans heart and character, not in her outer appearance. After all the modesty and expectations I have placed on my daughters, it seems counter-productive to put myself out there to be judged and admired when I constantly stress the importance of being respectful of your own body so others will respect you. I just don't have peace about it. Truly, the shape I'm in should be motivator enough, with or without a bikini or fitness competition under my belt. Whether or not a panel of judges agrees, I've still accomplished a lot, regardless of the fact that I've had three kids and that should be motivation enough for these girls, right?
I guess I'm just thinking "out loud"! Thanks for "hearing me out".
So glad to have found this thread!

Use it or lose it! I have a very similar outlook on physical fitness. It's ludicrous how people will see some double-amputee and not feel gratitude for their able bodies (in addition to sympathy, of course.) People generally don't earn their keep, or at least from what I observe they don't. Then again I'm quite cynical Will have to work on that.
Well, about a week into my cut now. Most of the weight I've lost is clearly water, but I'm still down about ~10lbs. Weighing in @ 186lbs now, 15% bodyfat. Goal is 8%, which means my target weight is roughly 170lbs if I'm able to keep all of my lean mass.
