How was 2018 Jow Forums?

Amazing. Started lifting, started my own project to put together my own company, liberal tears all around due to God Emperor Trump, hired a friend of mine to take semi-professional pictures of me for Tinder so I can start the new year bangin. 10/10 overall.

Told myself ill be 5'10 70kg by the end of the year.

Was 64kg before summer.
Summer hit, had no gym went back to 57kg.
Been lifting for 10 weeks back to 64kg.

Never reached my goal.

Had a Gf for a year and a half who broke things just few days ago ,but fuck it it's her loss she wouldn't find better she has a kid and not many guys will take her seriously..
Beside that I quit my job and started my journey towards my academic degree. And to sum it up life is okay..not much progress on the lifts thought.

Best year of my life so far
I lost 80lbs and now I’m looking and feeling good
I started college
I have a girlfriend I love
I have my own place
I have a job I love
The list goes on but I’m so happy right now
It gets better boys just hang in there

Got a little stronger, made mad social gains. Had my first gf, and my first shitty breakup. Also my /mu/sic has made me a couple thousand dollars this year in total off of random gigs and playing for my university's president's parties. All things considered, this year was a huge success, much better than 2017 at least. I'm looking forward to next year, it's been a real grind but every time life lets up and I have time to look around I see that I've made real progress and am getting closer to making it.

No major setbacks, but now that I have a long term job and other major things in place I'm getting complacent and not making progress as fast as I want. I need better discipline.

Lost my 6 year relationship
Made social gains
Pulled some qt3.14 girls since break up
Getting stronger
Recovered from shoulder injuries
Bought a new car

Overall I'd say 2018 was nuts

Got a new, higher paying, higher responsibilities, higher stress job.

Tried online dating again and actually managed to meet one girl in person. It didn’t go anywhere.

That’s about it. Very stressed and lonely while last year I was just lonely.

Then do something about it faggot. Lift more.

I got a "remote" work from home job and its killing me inside
Nobody in the office knows me at all and has any idea who i am on a personal level
I have no friends at work, nobody to count on and nobody gives any shits about who i am

I have people underneath me who should be responding to my questions like their job depended on it but they dont respond to me at all, its getting worse

2018 is one of the worst years of my life and its because im a corporate slave
other than that i have made some gains this year and i look much bettter than last year but im isolated and completely alone from anyone else

Beaner

if 2019 ends the same as 2018 I'm ending it all - i lost all my friends and failed as a person

Damn man I’d fine a new job
I feel you tho, I don’t work remote but I don’t talk to people much at my comfy office job and it ruins me as well

If your going to use semi pro pics for tinder then add a few pics of you just doing random and fun shit too so you dont look so tryhard

this for me too

Pretty damn good. No complaints.

Well most of the beginning of the year I did gym and other healthy shit then I bought a house so the month leading up to it I lost my mojo and stopped the gym. Around that time I went from 230 to 215 and since I haven't hit the gym and my good habits died I'm probably back up.

Just posting this makes me feel shitty and I should feel disappointed and shitty with myself. I got a dog so I get some cardio playing with her outside and am looking into buying a home gym off Craigslist.

I hope I can start turning things around soon and then stay on it next year. I hate my lack of self control sometimes but I at least recognize the behavior. Fuck man someone come to my house and train me.

What do you guys do to pump up self motivation? All I can think of is develop a SMARTY goal, some bullshit I learned working in the corporate world.

I found a girl. Those dubs from 2017 were right

Not sure, my biggest failure this year was realizing that everything I had done in school and professionally has nothing to do with what I actually want to be.

Aside from being back to step one in my career path, I'm still financially secure and my social life is good.

Very shitty. Break up with girlfriend december 17 a lot of health issues all throughout 18. Did shrooms and lsd the for first time and the shrooms were a very positive experience. Health issues prevented me from lifting tho so i lost weight and muscle and skellymode. If 19 gonna suck like that i will end it all next decembre

It was the year I got fit and lost my virginity so bretty gud

Fuck /tv/

>Had a mental breakdown from loneliness in Jan
>Lost 100lbs since then
> made social gains
> did tons of outdoor stuff like camping over the summer
> currently waiting to hear back on my dream job following a really good interview last week
>Started lifting 2 months ago and feeling good about it
>Met a girl who boosted my confidence even if it didn't work out
>got a crazy weekend planned where im going to employ this new confidence and see if i can get laid for the first time.

2018 has been an amazing landmark year for me.
In January i hated life so much and came so close to killing myself. I wound up promising myself that i'd give it one last summer to turn things around before i'd off myself in the winter.

As far as im concerned i made it bro's
Theres still alot of work to do but im looking forward to 2019 :)

>got a gf
>gf left me
>still in limbo
>started binge eating
>got a promotion at work
>got a bit more extrovert

all in all, pretty eh

oh and im smoking wayyyyy too much cigs, also drinking too much at weekends with friends

Finally lost my virginity.

Thanks Jow Forums I'm gonna make it.

don't worry, we're all gonna make it
just end it if you don't :)

Just get back into it slowly, man. You don't need to immediately jump back into some hardcore 5-6 days a week, 2 hours a work out shit. Honestly just start with 3 sets of pushups till failure every day. I bet after doing that consistently for a couple weeks you'll want to start doing more. Get a pullup bar, and crank out pullups randomly throughout the day. Then get some dumbbells and do light dumbbell work. If you do this for a couple of months I bet you'll be itching to either get back into the gym, or get your home gym set up. It can seem daunting to go from 0-60 in regards to getting back into lifting, so take it slow. You've got plenty of time. I believe in you, user.

Really good. Since 2015 every year has become better and better.

Pretty decent.

I bought a lot of EXCELLENT TOP TIER QUALITY STUFF for self improvement like a matress, Invisalign, eye surgery, a new bar... Some for leisure too like a pretty cheap GPU and some VR accessories.

But then again because all the surgeries and general issues I had plus being lazy I am still fat and lost a lot of strength.

Overall I'm quite happy with all my new toys, also still lost weight and finally understood discipline and how to follow it through.

Next year I'm gonna have the Chad smile along with the body, gonna start studying again and finally gonna get fresh pussy after 2 years as an incel with depression

Fell in love over spring break. Had my faith in western women restored. 5 months later realized my own rose tinted goggles prevented me from seeing all the red flags, she gave a sudden break up with a letter. Fill my sorrow with sex. Realize my family’s warped ideas of love has impacted who I attract. Played the blame game. Eventually took responsibility for my own life. Cut ties with them

my best one for personal gains to date. quit my job, moved states and was living out of my car but then found a job/career i loved, i slowed down on my drinking then eventually quit (one month now) then quit cigarettes.

on sunday i'm going to central america for a few months to try and learn spanish. working on my shyness and awkwardness still, but at least i'm putting myself out there and still making progress on that front too

Year was shitty
>21st of decembre christmas party with friends

Need to start 2019 with an open mind

>Started connecting with my family more, feelsgood
>Girl I thought I was gonna marry one day broke up with me a month ago for immature reasons. I gotta believe I dodged a bullet. We broke up in a civil manor but later messaged me saying I'm a very cold person (Which isn't true by accounts of what everyone else has told me). Had no trouble expressing her problems with me as a person, so I've been fighting the urge to send something back to tell her how I feel about her as well.
I know it's not fair to say don't date girls with a past of mental illness but has claimed to have been over it. Eventually it will come back around and if they don't want to help themselves, more times than not the relationship is all for naught.

>Started indulging in hobbies more
>So far still no college debt

Ultimately I don't think I can complain. I have friends and family that love me. I'm not short, no micropenis, not ugly, don't really have to worry about money at this time in my life. I'm just going to build myself to be the best I can while I have these opportunities.

I hope you guys had a decent year too.

2019 is gonna be a better year for me, going to lose weight, fix my low back, make some real gains, going back to college and stop being a lazy shit and do something, anything.

START NOW YOU FUCK, DON'T WAIT FOR A DATE

Well, there are 50 states germanbro

I’m from the PNW which has nice forests and nature, a lot of rain, good food, but a lot of leftist SJW scum.

How’s Germany these days?

Best one for me when it comes to mindset and turning my life around.

Honestly, extremely depressing

>moved back to live in with my mom
>still no job
>heavy debt
>mother reminds daily what a loser I am
>cant afford food

turning 26 next week and ashamed of myself, only thinking of killing myself, all day long but i don't live in land of freedom where everybody has guns and I literally don't have money for rope (failed with a belt already) and don't have the balls to slit my throat, not even sure if that's a viable way to go. No accessible heights nearby either.

oh and forgot... stopped lifting as soon I lost my job, so no lifting since January. Tried some bodyweight calisthenics but desu it feels just so... weak in comparison to true iron.

>What kind of culture/weather/food are you interested in?
to be honest, interested in texas
talking "murrica fuck yeah" to the brim
i like cities but also some deserts

germany's shit
too many migrants
too much stabbing and killing in every city even the nice suburbs

Only hurts a little bit

More autistic than ever

I started uni and started going to the gym regularly
Going to uni is a pretty big achievement for me, I’m an ex high school dropout NEET, and I’m getting decent grades.

Texas can be good. Austin is getting more leftist with gay parades n shit but besides that I think you’ll enjoy it compared to what you’re going through.

Would you go for a job, just travel, study abroad?

Sorry about your country brother. Keep the torch lit in these dark tumultuous times.

heard austin'd be a great place for germans too

well, for starters i'd like to travel and some day work and live in the us, i reckon as someone working in IT i'd have not much trouble

thanks man, another reason why i want to get away from this country

Very confusing.

wanted to get a 120 kg bench and i doubt i can do it. Im probably pretty close (best set is 90 for 8) but i have had chest problems due to benching too much and now with uni exams ill have even less time. Pray 4 my bench bros

Lonely. Life lacks meaning. Little motivation to lift anymore.

got cheated on by the first 10/10 girl I could ever land. She was a whole lot of work and I had a lot of stress at uni and work, thus got sorta depressed. Finished my bachelor thesis in math with the best possible grade after dumping that bitch and am back and comitted to lifting again. Want to hit my dream weight in 2019 and make it all over again. It's been a wild ride.

could be worse, you could have gotten fatter. hang in there user.

I don't know how much more i can bear, i'm almost 19 and still 5'5 if i'm not hitting a late growth spurt, i might anhero. Due to my height i've isolated my self from other people because i feel i don't belong with them, i feel like a 12 yr child everytime i meet people.
Sorry for blog, also

story plis

Got a gf and did lead a whole course at uni.

Pretty good.

Maybe next year.

Shittiest year of my life by far. Hope it gets better from now on.

I started browsing this board in January all that winter I did nothing but lift
I was in a musical as a lead and everyone loved me
got alot of social gains
People all the time now ask for my routine and say I look like a gym rat (not sure if it was a compliment or not but I'll take it)
Felt like I met the love of my life but she broke up with me to fuck her ex
got an amazing job renting pontoons and showing off my gains on the docks
overall it's been a good year

Dont give up user. We're all going to make it

Lifts went ok
Life not so much. Still pretty shut in on my free time, but have no issues socializing during work.
Started studying a meme language (Japanese) for the challenge.
Losing my job in 1-2 months, due employer getting tired of this. I was asked by another guy to come work for him when I helped him around.But I feel like this is the moment for change I've been kind of waiting for.
Thinking about going back to school, but I feel like brainlet after being out the school for 3-4 years and the best part is I'm a high school drop out.
Kind of wish to study abroad, but seems difficult to arrange.
