Today, was the day I would turn my life around and start losing weight. I went outside for my first run and said, "I got this!" I confidently stepped forward, the first symbolic steps to my new life. In the anticipation, I forgot my porch had steps. I face-planted on my driveway. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I decided to turn my life around and start exercising more. I didn't even make it out the door before I tripped and fractured my ankle. FML
Today, I went for a run to get in shape for the first time in ages. I put on my running shoes and hit the pavement. Halfway through, the sole of one shoe came off, and I had to hobble back home in embarrassment. FML
Today, I decided to begin jogging since my weight was getting a little out of control and I wanted to do something about it. Guess who tripped on a root and broke their ankle? Yeah. Exactly. FML
Today, I decided to start jogging again for the first time in months. I made it one block before tripping over the curb. I fell so hard, my phone flew out of my pocket and hit a parked car, setting off its alarm. I ran off when I saw house curtains all around me start to twitch. FML
Today, after finally getting over my ex, it felt like it was time to climb back into the dreaded dating pool. I also recognized that I need to get in shape to maximize my chances, so I went running. Half a mile in, I tripped over my own feet, landed face-first in a bush, and had to walk home covered in leaves. FML
Today, I finally went running to help me start losing weight. I got 50 metres before someone in a passing car shouted out "Run fatty, run". I can't work up the courage to go for a run again. FML
Today, I joined a gym. I’m overweight and not very athletic, so I was nervous. I looked around and tried a treadmill. I start walking at a chill pace, then got ambitious and cranked it to a "light jog." Within seconds, I tripped, fell, and sent the emergency stop button flying across the room. The gym staff ran over and I swear someone said, “Well, at least he’s trying.” FML
Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML
Today, I was getting ready for school and stepped out on my porch to go wait for the bus. I literally said out loud, “Today is gonna be a good day.” I took one step and fell all the way down the stairs. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke my ankle. FML

Don't bother with exercise. Weight loss is 90% diet. Try a low carb diet. I've currently list about 25 kg, or 55 lbs.

Is it really ninety percent???? Where did you learn this? I'm having a really hard time believing that... It would be ninety percent if you like ate nothing.

Yea I would love to know where you're getting your statistics lol That being said, it is an important part of losing weight. You should still go for walks/jogs if you want to speed it up. Short bursts of relatively intense exercise are best. Don't waste time exercising for hours at a shot. You get more from high intensity workouts because your body will continue to burn calories afterwards.

No one should "not bother with exercise", it's necessary for a healthy lifestyle and a long life. It's not all about looks

Personal experience.

No it is not. I got this from personal experience. I do have a job where I walk around a decent amount buy other than that I don't exercise. HIIT is good to work on your endurance but certainly not a big part of weight loss. It's weird how people down vote me when clearly I have knowledge from experience and they obviously don't.

Just because exercise didn't work for you as well as dieting did does not make that the case for everyone. That's why it's called a "personal" experience.

Well you can dismiss my claims but you can't dismiss science http://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2013/09/04/the-6-weight-loss-tips-that-science-actually-knows-work/ I'm not bulshitting here. The article explains it. It's way easier to eat less calories than to pose them through exercise. And that's talking calories only, not even taking into account eating less carbs for example. Which will benefit your weight and overall health.
