When high school football ended in early November, I have gone through a lack of physical activity. I haven't been to a gym or weight room or have done any intense workout. Other than the occasional 3-4 mile jog around my neighborhood, I haven't moved around much and my weight has gone up from 229 to 246. I pretty much gained around 15 pounds from just purely eating and not controlling that with physical activity.
Well, tonight, I decided to get a gym membership at Gold's Gym and I played nearly 2 hours of pickup basketball and now my thighs and back are sore as heck. But wow that actually feels so good.
My goal is actually to get down to ~210 from ~245. I feel like at around at the most 210 I look great and that's definitely a plus for getting chicks in college |

There was this one dude playing ball at the gym though and he was as big as Khaled man, and he sunk every 3 he shot like damn that guy is life hacking |

I have never been over 200, and don't think I want to
I was 5'9" or so and 130 when I got into high school and now I'm 5'11" nearing 6 feet and weigh almost 160. The swim training really helped bulk me up. It turned most of my fat into some muscle. What I focused on most is endurance and some running.
So running and swimming do help but they aren't the most interesting physical activities. Maybe try water polo? |

Water polo is an intense sport but I haven't truly swam (not even going to count pool "parties") since I was on a swim team back in like 2010 so I'd rather not
I think I'd be good with the cardio workouts like a treadmill (with incline of course) and basketball, and also limiting the calories. Both together will cause my weight to drop over time, and I should be able to lose at least 25 pounds before college starts |

I used to weigh 205 back before I started football in freshman year of HS, I was 5'8 and 205 lbs. Now I'm 5' 9 1/2 and 245. It's getting disastrous and I need to bring my weight down because I'm pretty much nearing diabetic levels |

Wanting to be someone else is wasting the person you already are |

Streetwear can be anything lol
I think the name literally means what you wear in the streets
not Street or "hood" wear |

Yeah I'm trying to get my weight up. Have gained 10 pounds this year but I realllly need to start working out. Only exercise I truly get is playing basketball every weekend |

Okay after browsing r/streetwear there are maybe only one or two looks I can pull off, and a lot of the outfits are long sleeve shirts/jeans. I live in the southern half of Texas and if you wear long sleeve shirts or pants you ARE going to sweat |

I'm sorry, but I have never understood the appeal for streetwear
just browsed every post on the front page of r/streetwear and only found one or two outfits that looked OK at
please tell me what the appeal is as opposed to wearing well fitting clothes that look classic/classy |
