I think you're being pessimistic. You must be seeing your strength and stamina improve already. Just because you can't see physical differences doesn't mean that others can't.

Truthfully,I really don't care about my strength and stamina,I just want to look better

Sometimes (well often) i don't want to go, but I do anyway, because I know I need it. I generally do cardio, haven't done weights for 2 months, I feel so mushy now....

if you really believe that, you're an idiot.

 

[jessicak]

I go 5 to 6 days a week and generally lift weights and then do cardio for about 45 minutes. I enjoy it.

Well, that kinda was my point. Even though you might not be able to see a change in appearance, it is there if strength and stamina is improved.

BTW-I've never been to a gym. I don't feel like being laughed at. I'll workout at home.

Good christ,I was checking out tofu products at the store tonight,I think I've lost my mind:Q

[jst0ney]

I hate it but I hate my gut more

 

[GT1999]

I enjoy going to the gym, and lifting. It makes me feel so much better about myself. Then there's also the other factors:

Strength
Agility
Health reasons
Confidence
Attractiveness by being in shape

I have completely eliminated soda from my diet along with beef, and I feel so much better about myself. I keep up with my exercising and stuff in my blog.

 

[petery83]

i should go more often, especially with rugby season coming up...

 

[adelphi]

Type-1, I'm guessing? What types of insulin? I'm 23 and a type-1 as well.

I did this a few years ago.

here's the thing that sucks the most, I have type II...and I'm 5'6" 132lbs 7~8% bf 26" waist. when I first found out I was devastated, I absolutely couldn't believe it could happen to me. but over the past few years I have come to accept it and realized that I needed to change the way I lived my life. but I feel your pain, dealing with Type I my mother actually has it and it pains me to see her suffer.

if working out isnt enjoyable, and feel that its more a chore, then i can't imagine you working out for more than 3 months.

the only time i don't feel like working out is if im too tired after working. i dont' work no more so i dont have that problem. =)

 

[Chaotic42]

I hated going to the gym when I did.

It's just so boring.
