We have another 'getting older' thread running.
And yet another weight training thread too.

I fully expect this thread to peter out into nothingness, but it is a thread I almost started a few times over the last year or so, so here goes anyway.

Is anyone else man enough to start, and/or anyone else be keen seriously pursuing, an online challenge as such, in which we get ourselves in shape. I work from home, dont really have time to trek to the gym and back regularly but do have a little time to work out from home.

I dont play any sports, find it hard to motivate myself, and have no local friends who are (currently) into working out.

I flit between buying healthy low fat foods, and then binging. My main problem is sticking power and not being able to motivate myself, by myself, to achieve the changes I want to achieve.

Not sure how to say this without sounding like a gayer, but how about a photo challenge for 6 months to start with. One photo a month (mid section/shoulders) and a thread or perhaps private forum in which we learn from and encourage each other. I could knock up a dedicated website/forum if the consensus was to keep this a private affair.

I dont have a brother or best friend who would drag me down the gym regularly, do find it hard to motivate, imagine we'd benefit being part of a group effort, dont have time to go to the gym (etc) and at this particular moment in time this seems like a good idea.

It did take a bit of balls to post, so keep the thread serious/sensible. What say ye?
Who might be up for it?

please dear God, spare me from the tumbleweed

Count me in, was thinking that I'd pretty much gotta get in gear otherwise I'll be a scrawny bugger again on the beach.

Shattered my kneecap a couple of years ago, lost loads of weight and it still isn't comfortable, but then hopefully some training will strengthen the joint back up.

I must lose weight, been saying it for weeks, just do not have a lot of will power and I love my food too much

I'd be up for that. I've just started running again but I tend to binge on that too. Eating healthily appears to be a problem for me too.

Amputation Miss Mills?

I'd be up for that.

I'd rather not be posting photos though- a photo can look different depending on angle, I would post measurements and weight

will it be like weigh ttchers and you have to pay a fee to charity if you don't make your target each week?

I'd join in this challenge as I really need to do something but I'd only cheat by drinking 2 litres of lemonade for the before pic...(well bloated) and then sucking myself in for the after pic.

I would never post pictures... I'm not that stoopid
