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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

You need to realize that losing weight is much more than just working out. You have to know some of the basics of your bodies chemistry. Just as most people have said, your diet is just as important. Whole and healthy foods should give you enough nutrition and keep your metabolism(which is important to weight loss) on track. What you dont want to do is not eat at all.

c25k.com helped me, cost me <$250 a year for replacement gear (running shoes, socks etc). I cut as much sugar I could out of my diet recently (though I still drink beers :p) and will always try to get a nonsugar option as a drink (Monster Locarb my favourite) gl! :)

might be diet, also keep in mind that putting on muscle is going to add weight. you might be the same weight, but in better "shape"

Dude you need to follow a tried, true and proven regimen program and eat healthy meals to nourish your success. If not your wasting your time

A healthy diet makes you lose way more weight than heavy weights (they make you gain muscle which ways more )

I am sure your body is in better shape - even if the pounds didn't come off. Keep working out!

That cannot be true, if you really committed to your training and by that I mean a training established by one of the gym coaches AND if you went on a diet, you must have toned a awful lot. You might now have lost weight, but your body shape must have changed for the better. However, if you didn't go on a diet, that won't work. You need to watch what you are eating for the work out to be efficient.

I have been moderated because I said that to lose weight and tone you need to commit to a serious work out and watch what you eat? I don’t see how it is offending to anyone, it’s a plain fact…
