Getting my act together before college... in theory

Hello! :-) I'm brand new to any kind of fitness community, so I have a lot to learn. Been trying to finally get in shape and take better care of myself before I head to school and become independent- I've been really passive about my life and insecure about my appearance these days (which obviously is more than just a weight/appearance problem we gotta love ourselves fellas) and have realized that... if I want to change... I can just, you know. Start changing! So that's cool.

Hoping to trim down on the fat, gain some muscle, and most importantly get some healthy habits, discipline, and energy from taking the reins and making those small steps to living a little less like a sloth (my favorite hobbies are reading and drawing, so I don't move much aside from walks and stairs at my school campus). Nice to meet you guys, good luck to everyone out there trying their best to improve themselves!

    Welcome! You can totally do it! I'm a first year college student, and I had a simialar goal a year ago haha. And look at me now? i'm training for an ultra marathon! and walking (not including my running or cross traininging) over 15,000 steps a day! Just keep your short term goals small and attanable, so that you don't become disscouraged- oh and realize that when your in college, if you buy it at the grocery store, you will eat it. The whole thing. probably in the middle of the night too lol. Best of luck though :blush: you've got this!
