I just told you. Get a job AT a gym. They will include membership as one of the perks.
Where do you live, roughly?

I will tell you how you can do it, the same way I do and many others do, we just go out and do it. I have a full time job, a part time job and I make time to train 3 days per week. I get up at 5 am and go to be around 11pm. I work almost 60 hours per week. I'm sorry but if you don't have the drive to better yourself or do more and instead would rather say that the work pays close to minimum wage then you have a problem. A problem we can't fix. This is America, land of opportunity. You take that opportunity and you ring it's neck and suck everything you can out of it. You get out of life what you put in. Excuses get you nothing. Nothing.ForecasterJason wrote: »LolBroScience wrote: »ForecasterJason wrote: »You guys are missing my point.

You are something else. When I first read they didn't let you use the gym I thought "Well then how can he get a membership, maybe work there". I guess you just refuse to analyze situations. This is getting ridiculous already.

Do you go to school? Can you get a job? What do you do for a living?
How have you been looking for work? What kind of work? How long have you been looking?
I've been frequently checking my old school's job connection website for local jobs, local government website for jobs, among other places. In the past I've also applied for other paid internships I've seen elsewhere, and just a few weeks ago I applied for a job near where I am. My focus has mostly been computer-oriented. However, I've also been looking at other jobs as well, which includes the job I last applied for. Most jobs I see are not entry level. I have had a couple internships/jobs in between, but this has been ongoing for over a year.
How about retail, a store, a mall, a supermarket, a fast food restaurant etc?
I am a licensed practical nurse. I graduated in August, passed my NCLEX September 5th. Started hard-core job searching. Applied to go back to school and finish my RN. When early November hit and I was still striking out for nursing jobs, I received my acceptance to start back in school in January 2015. I immediately started applying for retail jobs (seasonal, yo!) and was interviewed and hired November 10th, orientation on the 17th, first day of work the 19th. I averaged about 32 hrs/week over the holidays and since I work hard, they offered me a part-time job, the only person they did so out of 8 seasonal employees. I go to school, work 2-3 shifts a week (12-24 hrs basically) and oh, did I mention I have four kids?

Get on USA Jobs and apply for the Pathways program.This will only bring it back to your machine love and hang up about free weights:
Convict Conditioning (you can find free pdf)
You Are Your Own Gym (again, can find a free pdf)

My whole point was that (unless I can actually get a job at a gym very soon), in the short term I don't have any other options for working out with weights other than (1) bodyweight, (2) my weight machine, (3) the 20 lb dumbbells I have.

Step 1: Get off the f***ing computer. Or at least off of MFP and onto one of the many jobsites there are - many of which were posted above.
Step 2: F*** "your field." You have no job - go to McDonald's or something.
Step 3: Get paid.
FFS, already.0 -

Sometimes we need to swallow what pride we have a just go work. I know plenty of college graduates that had to go get work doing something that had nothing to do with their field of studies.
This is me. There are 3 other people I graduated with in my current program to become an RN and they all have jobs in our field. Despite this, I have zero problem with saying where I work and what I do. I worked hard to become a licensed nurse and does it suck that I didn't find a job in my field, using my hard-earned knowledge and skills? Yes, yes it does. And does it suck to make 8.50$/hr instead of 14-16$/hr? Yes, yes it does.
You know what sucks more? Having no job and making 0$/hr. Oh, and making excuses. That sucks more.

Yup.
Side note: The fact that you state you would get 14-16 an hour for being an RN makes me sad. You deserve so much more. I live in NYC and have maybe 30 friends that are nurses and they get a lot more. I do figure it's NYC vs AL and cost of living is higher but you deserve so much more than that.
Sorry, 14-16$/hr as an LPN. RN is more, definitely. A small part of the reason for going back to school to complete that part of my education.

After reading your thread I have come to one of two conclusions:
1. You are a troll.
2. You don't actually want help, you want people to tell you that it's not your fault you fail.
Either way I have decided to direct my effort to others who actually want help. I highly encourage others to do the same. Not only in this thread, but in other threads that he jumps into and turns into threads about himself.0 -

Yeah, do it. If you have the means then definitely finish your education. That's my only regret in life. And now I lose 650 dollars of the top a month and my hands are tied into working like a dog in order make ends meet. My parents always told me "Work hard in school so you don't have to work hard like us when you're older". I didn't listen.
I was super lucky in that my interest was in a field where higher education is paid for because you work in a lab most of the time, so it's considered "work", so minimal student loans. That said, finding lab jobs is almost impossible right now due to slashing in research funds. Even more luck, I hated working in the lab and love rules, so now I work in regulation (and the government mandates my job exists).0 -

It's actually really easy to eat an extra 500 calories per day of healthy (nutritious) food, as opposed to foods which are simply high in calories (doughnuts).
1 slice of whole wheat bread is around 100 calories.
2T of peanut butter is 180 calories.
2oz (uncooked) of whole wheat pasta is 180 calories. That's not much.
1 cup of sliced avocado (MFP says 146g) is 234 calories.
5oz of salmon is about 260 calories.
A 6 oz pork chop is just over 300 calories.
2T of hummus is 70 calories. That's nothing. I usually eat 5 servings, which is 350 calories.
100g (just over 3 oz) of roasted almonds is almost 600 calories. I could easily eat that!
bulking- you don't understand it.
