Today, after 6 months of training and going to the gym every day, I realized that the only thing I've lost is $300 worth of gas. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized that I spend more money on gas to go to my job than what I get paid. FML
Today, I was proud of going to the gym 3 times a week (instead of once a week) to get in relative shape. I even started doing light cardio and (I thought) started to eat better. I've gained six pounds, despite watching what I eat and even increasing the resistance on the exercise bike that I use. FML
Today, I learned that as much as I try to save my money, it always just slips through my fingers. After rent, I got paid $280 yesterday, $85 went out on my gym membership, $95 went out on my internet, $125 went out on my Hello Fresh. I have to choose between half a tank of petrol or breakfast/lunch for the week. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, I hit the gym. With my car. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. I was so out of shape that I couldn't even finish my warm-up. FML
Today, I finished the first month of a diet and exercise program designed to help me lose weight. To keep myself motivated, I have avoided the scale the entire time. I weighed myself today. I've gained 6 pounds. FML
Today, it was my first day at a new gym, which cost a fortune. Some skinny teen who had clearly never lifted in his life dropped a weight while I was stretching and broke my ankle. Money down the drain. FML
Today, after months of grueling hard work, I'd finally gained five pounds. Too bad I lost it all and then some, due to one good stomach flu. FML
Today, I paid $500 for a gym membership after moving into a brand new house, since 12 years of software development has taken its toll. When I told my instructor about my goal to lose 35lbs in two months, he simply said, "Yeah... That's not going to happen. Try another gym," and left promptly. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If your main goal is losing weight, try running or jogging in your neighborhood. At least you made an effort.

Next time jog to the gym. It's a win-win situation.

Maybe you should bike to the gym.

No offence Americans but a straight currency conversion doesn't cover it. Over here "gas" is a hell of a lot more expensive!!! It works out at about $10 a gallon!!! To put that in context, your average American price per gallon according to US Independent Energy Association, is $3.85 compared to our $10. You're $300 would be closer to $900 which is £560!!!!!!!!! SUCKS TO BE ENGLISH!

Yeah. A large colonial Empire and all American girls want to date a sophisticated English boy. So hard.

To no other nation on the earth does my voice receive the response, "OMG your accent is so cute" so frequently.

Going to the gym and just working out wont make u lose weight. You need to find the right exercise for your goal and do it correctly or u won't see any results! Goodluck!

All you people mentioning pounds, England is not the whole of the UK. It's only a part of it. >.>.

That's why you walk to the gym. However, you did try, and I realize it may not have been within walking distance. Don't give up though, there's exercises you can do at home.

It's okay, you're working at it. It's beneficial in some ways, even if not in losing weight per se

Muscle is denser than fat. I've lost 6" off my waistline from diet and exercise and am now wearing the smallest-sized trousers I've ever worn in my adult life. However the scale has not budged by a single pound.

Bro, BMI is important when you talk about fat. How you look and feel matters. Results of improvement matter. You have to eat healthily (don't misinterpret that as small amounts, eat a lot of good stuff and still allow a little "bad" you need some anyway), run, and weight train to greatly improve your health.

Jog to the gym. Kill two birds with one stone.

No shit you won't get results if you go EVERY day. Unless you make that trip to work on only one set of muscles and not rotate back for weeks. Your muscles need time to heal, that's how they get bigger. Work out everything like crazy, and relax for a couple weeks. I bet you will see better results
