Today, I went onto the treadmill at my gym. When it prompted me to enter my age I put 27. I'm 29 and am lying about my age to a workout machine. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Same thing different taste
Today, I lied to the treadmill about my weight. FML
Fitness is overrated
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. As I was on the treadmill, I accidentally hit the emergency stop button. In my attempt to play it cool, I tried to pretend it was intentional and yelled, "I've reached my fitness goal for the day!" FML
New fangled technology
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months and tried to act like I belonged there. I used the wrong machine, adjusted something I shouldn’t have, and had to ask a teenager how to reset it. FML
Today, I was trying to work out, and couldn't even complete an exercise regime meant for 50-year-olds. I'm 24. FML
Clapped out
Today, I was at the gym when a trainer said, “Wow, good for you! I love seeing older people stay active.” I’m 29. FML
This is fine
Today, I started a new job. As I was introducing myself during the morning get together with the team, I forgot how old I was, and panicked. I ended up saying I was "twenty-fine." I’m 27. FML
Routine
Today, I was doing my usual routine at the gym which consists of working out on the treadmills right in front of my ex boyfriend to make him feel bad. Whilst doing this, I tried to be cool and do that thing where as the treadmill slows down you turn around and just walk off the end. I fell. FML
Today, I picked the treadmill next to an old man so I could feel better about myself. He ran faster and longer than I did. FML
Having fun over there?
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in quite a while. I was feeling pretty good about myself until I realized I'd been on the elliptical machine for twenty minutes without having actually turned it on. I was just moving the pedals and wondering why I wasn’t getting tired. FML
Today, I was working out in the gym when a fitness trainer came up to me and said it wasn't safe to be exercising while this far along in a pregnancy. I was too ashamed to tell them that I'm not pregnant, so I went along with it. Time to find a new gym. FML

It asks you your age so it knows what your normal workout level needs to be. Also, you're a completely pathetic person. Seriously? 29 is not old. Get some perspective on life.

I'm sorry but these FMLs crying for other people's pity shouldn't even get posted. "Today I ate a bunch of twinkies, then I weighted myself and realized I weight 200lbs, FML!!!!" You ******* deserve it if you chose to lie to a machine.

i doubt saying 2 years less is going to make that much difference to your work out so why bother lying?

I like how OP is Anonymous with no gender indicated when it's obvious OP is a woman.

YDI , why cuz u cannot even realize that there is no big difference between 27 and 29 aslo if u count he time u spend in ur mother uterus you are actually 30 ,,,,, live with it and i hope u do not lie about ur age infront of doctors too :P

I agree, but you didn't make yourself look very smart either. Unless you're native tongue isn't english.. in which case you're English isn't that bad. But seriously.. the poster is a moron.
