I've always had the mindset if someone is being critical of me, that shows and means they care. If they didn't care why would they say anything? So when I get critiques, I take it as this person cares enough to say something about something they know about so it behooves me to listen. And I'm the same way, if I don't care I'll just say Yep you're doing great keep doing the same thing, don't bother me. If I care I'd step in and say Hey, you're on the right track, but instead try doing that THIS way, because I already learned the lesson I'm trying to teach you, thus cutting your learning curve. Don't be afraid to stand on the shoulders of giants, they can handle the weight and it lets you see farther ;)

@cake8211 true, but that's also a great way to attract others who came up getting similarly bullied so they turned into monsters, who may step in and say "hey, why don't you try shitting/laughing at ME like that, someone your own size" or way bigger. And now you have a mentor.

Planet Fitness helped me lose 130lbs. If I want to lift and bang plates, I do it in my home weightlifting gym. If I want to do cardio, use specialist isolation machines, get a tan and a massage, and look at women, I go to Planet Fitness. It's all about using the right tools for the job you're trying to accomplish.

In my multi-year experience in the PF I frequent, not once have I heard the alarm sound, and I've seen/heard people drop stuff and bang equipment so loud I heard it through my noise canceling earbuds 50 yards across the facility.

I have friends at the gym I've known for years and never shared a word with. I see him on the running track every day, day in day out, and we don't need to interact lol, it's an unsaid solidarity.

I got over my food addiction the same way I quit smoking two packs a day: laziness. I'm a non-smoker, so why would I go to all the WORK to smoke? You have to go to the store, buy them, have money to do that, get home, open that shit, lighters, working lighters, ashtrays, go outside in the cold, that's a lot of work and I'm too lazy for that, so I just won't anymore. Pizza and bagels, ugh, that's a lot more work, I'm already full on straight keto protein and fat, i'd have to struggle to eat that bad stuff, so I won't. Have the mindset of why would I do all that work? Easier to just do the bare minimum.

My PF is straight up next to a dozen fast food places. So I drive the extra mile past all of them when I leave to go to Chick-Fil-A and get my 12 piece GRILLED chicken nuggets. 200 calories, SIXTY GRAMS of protein. Not all fast food is unhealthy fast food.

That is a thing, I see out of shape personal trainers all over the place. Just because you took some correspondence courses online and got letters behind your name is't enough for me, you need to LIVE that. It's like a lot of our 'health officials' in government, THIS trainwreck of a person is the authority giving people health advice? They're not following it, creates cognitive dissonance. It would be like Asmondgold giving tips on how to grow your arms VS some guy with shoulder caps and 20"+ biceps giving that advice, I'd listen to the one showing the results.

I used to feel the same way about fitness, it's just for meatheads, I'm an intellectual, lol. I was over 300lbs, my youngest sister is a MD now, she got her degrees in Biochemistry and Sports Medicine, certified trainer in several different orgs, went to college on a full ride softball scholarship, then her residency in rheumatology, and I've been her research project for a few years now. I went from 307lbs to 170 now in two years. I run 10ks in an hour. I Dl 315 for reps. I turned my life around with science. I myself have degrees in chemistry and math, and my other middle sister is an actuary that was also a softball star athlete, once they showed me it's all just chemistry and math, fitness became pretty simple. Follow the numbers, do the work, see results.

I lost 130lbs with mostly running, especially outside. The world is my gym, the membership is free for the most part. I used to be 307lbs, now I run a 50 minute 10K. And I'm 41 lol, so younger people you have no excuse.
