I'm much happier since I've stopped lifting. I did Starting Strength until I could squat 1.5x my body weight, but I never enjoyed going to the gym, and realized I didn't really care much for the muscle I put on. If anything, it was annoying having such big thighs. I haven't been to the gym for a couple of years now and couldn't be happier. I do quite a bit of cardio (competitive table tennis), and that's it.

Definitely. In my opinion, you shouldn't do something you don't like, and I don't like going to gyms, so after multiple years I've now quit and it feels pretty good. I think it's important to find another sport you like though. Now I do climbing and experiment with other things. Much more enjoyable than grinding three days a week.
Thank you for the bug report. We'll make sure to fix you in the next version. ;)
