Determined to lose 80LB

[ZakK1]

Hey guys, My name is Zak and I have a confession to make here. I am fat, yeah like most people on this forum, I am looking out there for the answer, which lies under my nose. Determination. Now, last year i was really determined to loose 100lb and I was on a good stage losing about 40lb untill christmas came and it absolutly went downhill from that. Now all that hard work I did last year I just put back on over the summer. Now Im looking towards the up coming summer and its up to me to loose the weight.


I am 5ft10" and weigh now 289 from this day. At the moment I have torn my ligament in my ankle so unable to do nothing (due to playing football(soccer), but as soon as I get to walk again, in about a weeks time. Its time for me to shed the pounds. Now I know what to do and how to lose it, but was wondering if I should make a video diary on youtube that people could follow, but was unsure to create one everyday or create one weekly. Obviously this is not only just for my benifit but also for other people out there who are in the same situation than me. Of course this won't be easy and there will be times that I wanna eat that burger etc. But I will fight that away and hopefully do my bit for the world aswell.


Thanks for reading.

Zak.

Hey! You are so right! Determination is key! I would encourage you to write down your weight-loss goals and write down why they are important to you. It is key to helping you stay determined when you feel a bit weak. And make sure to forgive yourself!! If you eat the burger or give in to a temptation, don't beat yourself up about it because that will cause more harm than good. It is crazy how much one cheat meal can derail a person's progress, but it is only because of the guilt and loss of confidence that a person quits after a burger. SO just keep the bigger picture in mind! Also, video blogs are an amazing way to keep yourself accountable! It all depends on how much time you have whether you would want to post once a day or once a week. I've found that people who try to post once a day usually get behind, but if you have the time, GO FOR IT! Posting once a week though is still an awesome accountability tool, and I'd love to follow if you decide to do that.
