Hey everyone

I’ve been doing f45 now for about 2 1/2 months, and while it hasn’t been 100% consistent because of life, but with this and eating healthier I’ve lost 12 pounds in this time which has been great for my weight loss journey.

While this is great progress I keep looking at the exercises when I book a class and I find that I get easily intimidated or psych myself out before I even begin.

I just looked up the new resistance workout for Maximus and it just totally threw me off. I still booked the class but now I’m having the thoughts of “I’m going to struggle” and “I can’t do this”. I don’t know at what point I’ll stop psyching myself out.

Not sure if there’s a solution to this, but just looking for some positivity. I’m the biggest guy at the class that I go and still feel very self conscious when I struggle to keep up. The people I normally work out with are really nice and my coaches are great…. But this keeps happening where I psych myself out before I even start a class or a workout in the class

Update: I did it. I feel like I’m dying but I did it!
It’s crazy how I’m used to the pacing but adding those core workouts just kicked me ass by the end of it. I gotta keep strengthening my core and get rid of the belly, but I know I can do it

Having a debate with a friend and would like the hive minds opinion.

While I recognize that we have a tough schedule, in the beginning of a rebuild and our WR room isn’t the best, I’d love if we were surprisingly competitive, pulled some upsets and would even love it if we made the playoffs and won a game. I know the chances of that happening are slim to none, but as a dolphins fan I’d love for nothing more to happen.

My friend doesn’t even want to think of that from happening. Entering the season with the mindset of wanting us to tank the season, go 0-17 and get the first overall pick.

I don’t want the team to be that embarrassing and I’m okay not to have the first overall. A top 5-10 pick still has a lot of value. But I digress…,

So fellow dolphin fans. Which outcome would you like to see? Us being the surprise of the league and being competitive? Or us tanking and getting the #1 pick?

I started a few weeks ago with the trial classes, and then I went on vacation for a week.

I did this because I’m in my mid 30s and over 300 pounds and my normal gym routine was not working and I needed to do something different. I also am being mindful of my diet so just now I am taking that into account.

This is my first full week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I feel like two of the three days were absolutely horrible. I got gas and had to sit out of a couple of workouts and it’s tough when I see how great everyone else is. please tell me it gets better.

Edit: thank you for all the support, recommendations and positivity. Definitely feel better about where I am now. Thank you everyone!

Hey everyone

My wife and I will be in Rome for our wedding anniversary. Theres a million restaurants with good reviews. If anyone can make a recommendation id appreciate it! Ideally id like something as authentic and romantic as possible, but i recognize that it may be tough to narrow it down.

Edit: forgot to put where we’re staying. We’ll be in the Campo Marzio neighborhood

I really liked how season 1 had a mix of reality TV stars and regular people. Now in these last two seasons it’s all former reality tv stars. I get that everyone can use the money, but I really liked that they have people a chance to play and win. Now I’m just watching old and washed up former reality tv stars/ housewives compete against each other.

Maybe I’m alone in this… but it’s just my opinion
