Resolutions

>>39856237
Best advice, don't make new years resolutions. If you start off bad or late you'll tell yourself that you'll just start over next year.

If you want to accomplish something don't tie it to a calendar, plan it out in microscopic detail

>>39856237
No offense to those who make resolutions for new years but it seems pointless to me, youre waiting until a certain time to fix or improve something when you can do anytime you want, yet you wait and most people give up on their resolutions in a few weeks. The New year hype dies down and so does the activity and achievement of the people with resolutions, why not focus on making yourself better everyday?

>tfw ever since I started getting my life together I find myself lifting less and less.
> I found motivation in the fact that I was a failure, a loser, a doormat.
> I found motivation from anger from petty fun and gossip girls made at my expense in highschool and uni.

anyone else?
this feel...feels weird.

I'm kissless, i know damm well i can get a gf if i just stop being so clingy, i got a date with every single woman i tried to get one, i got every single woman's number that i approached, but then i get too clingy and fuck up everything, i fucked up sooo bad with a tall amazonian goddess (pic related, i'm the manlet kek) which like me back.
So my plan is to get a gf as tall as her by being not so clingy and all that.
So yeah... That's my main goal, aside from that keep going, improve my german and english, mostly my german. Maybe even get one of those germans that do an internship at my university as a gf or at least hook up or make a good friend.
Well that's it. we are all gonna make it brah

>>39857958
Maybe because you were bored and got no other way to kill time so you just spent it on the gym. It has happened to me. It's good to improve your life but you should also try to keep lifting m8

>>39857908
Well it's a good excuse to start famalam, maybe like 10% of people keep going, but we should encourage them anyways

>>39858052
You are right I never want to discourage any one with a new years resolution, just saying I don't want people to wait until a certain time because when the hype dies down so will the motivation, for those making a resolution I seriously hope y'all actually stick to it and don't end up being a part of the typical NY resolutioner meme.

>>39858066
look at it this way, you can always try to fugg the new girls, there may be some that are not that bad, or if you own a gym you would love the NYR meme-clients

>>39858077
Don't own a gym but trying to be a personal trainer cuz it'll help me be a physical therapist, but yeah them clients are a plus, i honestly wanna see the make it and not just take their money

>>39858021

damn, good for you!

>cames out as gay
wtf /fit/ i though you were just kdding about the homo jokes

>>39858107 here
>>39858066
The trick imo is to force yourself to establish the habits you need to accomplish your goals in January. For example my lifting was always on/off because I would get too busy, I forced myself to stick to a schedule that worked for me. My diet has always been shit so I got in to the habit of tracking cals and meal planning. Also forced myself to work in certain hours and stop on thursday and friday nights so I have nothing to do other than go out.

Work towards small subgoals every day that will lead to achieving you utlimate goals.

>>39858149
Also don't write your goals down, if you forget one then it wasn't that important to you to begin with

reposting my experience in language learning from other thread
>I spent the last 8 months learning French:
>Finished the tree on Duolingo in 100 days, still do a little review everyday
>Started using lingvist.io daily last month, really good for vocabulary and tenses
>Readlang for books that you can translate by highlighting, reading les trois mousquetaires maintenant
>Pay 11 euros per hour for skype call lessons from frenchman, 1 hour weekly, found him on one of the tutor market sites. Would recommend finishing duolingo first to lay down a foundation.
Want to hit 1/2/3/4 this year

>>39858206

lol jk i'm trying to restart it
i also want to hit 1234

>>39858263
Bon courage anon, nous allons le faire

>>39856237

Goals:

>get a decent job
>lose about 35 pounds
>permanently fix my diet
>weed out fast food, salty snacks, and flavored drinks completely from my diet
>get a nice female companion that actually lets me benis in vagoogoo

>>39858272
ja, danke mein freund.
Also i need to finish learning Deutsch too.

>>39858340
>35 pounds
you cutting or are you (skinny) fat?

>>39856237

I will learn sambo and improve my russian to a respectable level.
Living right by one of the largest concentrations of Russians in the US should help.

>>39856237
This years goals.

>Lose the rest of my weight (another 4 stone)
>Get laid again.
>Possibly go on holiday
>Make more money

Last year I accomplished the following:

>Lost 4 stone
>Quit smoking

So yeah. Fingers crossed and good luck to the rest of you anons with your goals.

>>39858021
Sounds like you're doing brilliantly my man! Keep it up. Sounds like you've got a good mindset and a strong will. You'll go far.

>>39858107
Good list mate and it sounds like you've made a cracking start already. Well done.

>>39856237
Goals:
>Finish the 20rep squat program and hopefully have increased my 1rm significantly
>Up my protein intake so I'm not fucking myself (must get to around 150g's per day)
>Get some fucking chest development happening since it's gross
>Get to below 15% bfp
Even if I have to bulk for 10 months to build muscle then starve myself for 2, I'm fucking getting there. Approx 19% right now.

Shit I've achieved:
>Near perfect squat form
>Bench went from barely being able to lift the bar to 4x8 of 1pl8
>Learnt decent deadlift form
>Taught a friend to deadlift, he went from back snappingly bad to pretty safe
>The amount of walking I've been doing has absolutely skyrocketed
For some reason this one actually made me able to outlast pretty much everybody in my friends group who don't exercise regularly. Plus my recovery time after running has been cut right down. Pretty neato.
>Started actually getting my shitty diet in check

get a gf

drink less coffee (especially these two cups in the morning seem unnecessary)

get a gf

pass every exam at uni, get to work on my MA thesis

get a gf

eat less shitty food while at the same time hitting them protein macros

also, getting a gf would be a welcome change for me

>game addiction

I need to stop playing this video game that has been sucking the life out of me the moment I decided to enter the eSports scene. Game addiction is a real thing and quitting playing this game has been harder than quitting smoking, which I eventually succeeded doing back in February 2016.

>biting my nails

oh boy not sure about this one. I have been biting my nails ever since I was in my mom's womb. But It's worth giving a try.

I usually go way too ambitious and fail, so this year I just made one promise:
>Do one social thing every day
It can be simple shit like talking to the cashier, or bigger stuff like going to parties & events
No more sitting in my apartment all day

>>39858729
How big is your penis?
It might be closer to average than you think

>>39858340
ayyy are you me anon

>>39858848
5 inches in length which I don't like but I know that's not too terrible, my girth is pitiful though, never accurately measured but my guess is 4-4.5 so it's like a pencil.

>>39858872
That's workable

Most girls will have no problem with it, just don't make a it a big deal

I'm keeping my goals small and attainable this year:

>lose fat until I have a six pack again (currently 6' 1" and 230 lbs)
>get a job that pays at least 13 dollars an hour
>try to enjoy living again
>continue my depression treatments

>>39858021
Fuck dude this inspires me, I basically almost have your old bodytype and I'm gonna switch it around.

>>39861805
>>get a job that pays at least 13 dollars an hour
bruh
we are all gonna make it though.

my resolution is to get lean and fit enough to join the Royal Marines. Also get a better haircut. Travel every few months and experience a new degree of culture that my upbringing couldn't accommodate

>>39857908
Tbh senpai im waiting to go back to work and i move away from my mum who cooks so much deliciously fattening food.

Also, my gym is like 150 miles away.

For fitness:
>bench 315 for reps
>get bigger calves
>get bigger arms/forearms
>maybe maybe try to get a 6pac

My plan was I hit 3plate and then stop eating so much

For life:
>buy house
>maybe get drivers liscense

Losing virginity would come after house. I'm not ugly, I just don't want to bring girls home to mommy so I completely 100 percent stopped trying at all.

>>39862101
>buy house
really nice

2016 goals that I achieved
> Got enough credit (48) before summer to advance to next year in uni despite being sick and missing 12 out of 60 (2 courses).
> finished some additional courses recently but not eonugh, have been slacking
> lifting wise I recovered from a pretty severe knee injury, can squat over 100kg again
> diamond 1 in League of Legends

2017 goals:
> Pass at least 6 more courses before summer, then work on a strategy for a first year course that I still have to do & minor
> Be more consistent in lifting to get progression (this will likely be the hardest)
> Get driver license
> Search for a job to do during summer ( never had a job before ).
> Get to challenger in league
> Find a cute good looking masculine bf who doesn't just date for hookups and is a good man ;_;

All I see are just guys looking to have sex, not a relation. The same goes for apps like tinder, the intentions of the guys I match with are obvious and I just don't like it much. I'm not into hookup culture or sleeping around.

I just want to find a good looking guy who is loyal, intelligent, fit and can hold down a good paying job.

I fully don't expect anything like that. But if I go to cooking classes, book-club, rock-climbing, etc, maybe I'll make friends, and get introduced to friend of friend and who knows.

No fap for at least a month.
Stretch every day.
Meditate every day, even for just 2 minutes.
