21yo white guy. 6'0", 156LB.

My fitness philosophy is "Eat whatever you want, just be sure to work hard to burn it off."

My routine is, every other day I run 3-5 miles. On off days, I do minor upper body workouts. Such as pullups on the pullup-bar, bench-press, or sets of 22LB weights. I can only bench-press about 135LB's.

Although I say "eat whatever you want" in my philosophy. I don't gorge myself on food and I don't eat sweets all the time. I just don't worry about keeping a perfectly balanced meals and I'll eat most of a whole large pizza without feeling bad about myself.

My "THINspiration," lol heard that on a show I listen to, would be when I saw videos of the fatman on youtube. A 400LB monster with diabetes. One of my biggest fears is to get diabetes. I never want to be cursed with that. He scared me into really working hard to stay thin.

The largest I have ever been was 175LB, this was in my highschool days. Not really fat, just a little pot belly.

at 6ft and 156lbs i wouldn't worry about turning into a land monster.

fat people are waaaay fatter than you think.

i had this problem earlier too, i was too afraid of losing my abs and gaining bodyfat to gain muscle. but i got over that phobia.

its been about 18 months since i started hitting the weights hard. i've gone from a skinnyfat 130lbs to 180lbs with a bit of abs still. i feel like a solid man now, but i dont feel huge or very strong. some people catch a bug where you never reach your goal, you finish a workout and look in the mirror and you are all pumped and think "thats what ill look like in a few months all the time!" and you cant stop. many people think this is unhealthy, but without that mindset there would be no chance of even getting to where you are right now.

19 year white guy, 185cm, 75 kilos as of now.

I enjoy physical activity, so I can eat what I want, I'll burn it off soon anyway. The fact that I just like fruits & vegetables helps.

22, 187cm, probably around 200lb but I really don't know. I don't weigh myself.

My philosophy:
Eat things that do not harm or discomfort you. For me, with science/personal discomfort/allergies in mind, this entails alcohol, smoking, drugs, coffee, non-herb tea, soda, anything with unnatural sugar in it, wheat flour (gluten in particular), dairy products, food with E-numbers and chemicals in it, bad fat, whatever.

There's no bad conscience in this, even when I snack or have a pizza on a friday or whenever. Because I'm not on a schedule, it's a way of life - it's not contract based either.

Inspiration?
Looking at fat guys on television or hearing about diabetes has never affected me. I couldn't even imagine what it's like. My dad has diabetes but doesn't always eat accordingly. I came to the realization that disease or no disease, the attitude is the critical factor. Not everyone will change even if it'll kill them if they don't. Well, you can say the same about smokers.

But I want to be a happy person, and that means not living in a half assed manner. So I made that decision not to.


Routine?
I guess I'll put some experiences here since I can't say I have much of a routine yet, except avoidance. I found that trying out these many new limitations actually set me free and that there were unknown levels of discomfort affecting me that now are gone.

No longer tired after meals and candy, never feel stuffed to the brim, easier to focus, a lot more tastes feel acceptable compared to before when all I wanted was something sweet.

I've begun looking at quality, not quantity. It's hard to convey how much of a difference that really makes. It's immense.
