Hi everyone. Let me tell you a little about myself. On February 1st, 2011, I decided I was going to shed my fat and lead a more healthy lifestyle - a kind of late new years resolution. I weighed 276 lbs (19yr old male, 6ft). Over the course of these 5 months I have gotten down to 224 lbs, a total weight loss of 52 lbs. My goal weight is to hit 200 lbs, but more honestly, to get rid of my man boobs that have plagued me all through high school. I haven't really changed what I eat, only the quantity and time in which I eat. My main vice is midnight snacking and through a little self discipline (Lasagna at midnight is delicious but not worth it) I have curbed that self destructive behavior.
I try to jog every day for 30 mins but due to circumstances beyond my control I usually only end up jogging 5-6 days a week. I stay away from soda and sugary drinks and drink a lot of water, usually 25 glasses a day. As an avid fan of the show, "Biggest Loser" I thought that losing weight was going to be extremely difficult but all in all it hasn't been. I still have the temptation to eat at night but as a rationalist I can usually talk myself out of it. Thanks for reading, thought it might be cathartic to share my journey to other people.
