Herbie's Transformation

Well I am a about 10 days late in starting this thread, however I guess it's better late than never...
I will use this to document my progress/setbacks etc. in my quest to lose 33.2kg (73lb's).

When beginning this task 10 days ago I was 24 years old, 6ft 1" tall and 128.2kg (282lbs).

My motivation is to have lost enough weight to play competitive rugby by the new season (Feb 2011). But ideally I wish to reach my goal weight by November 30, allowing a couple of months strength training/conditioning for the season.

Major changes include a complete diet overhaul, plus regular gym training (cardio and weights). Gone are the fast food, soft drink and lazy days, instead being replaced with the following on recommendation of a PT friend.

B/Fast: 2 pieces of brown toast with peanut butter
Snack: Hydroxyburn Pro Shake (Skim Milk) and piece of fruit
Lunch: Generally Sushi or a Subway Wrap (No Cheese or Sauce)
Snack Hydroxyburn Pro Shake (Skim Milk) and Nuts/dried Apricots
Dinner: Grilled Chicken/Fish/Steak with Chillies and Steamed Vegies

Weds Night is cheat night as we are provided dinner at work that varies from healthy to not-so healthy. I am just limiting portions...

I have been off to a flying start, compiling a training program and in 10 days am down to 125.2kg (275.4lbs) which equates to a 6.6lb loss in 10 days.

Heres to hoping it continues to drop off. I welcome comments/constructive criticism/motivation while I undertake my journey and I will try to update at least once a week!

Much Love,

Chris
 
Congratulations on your journey. A lot more adventurous things have been accomplished. This is totally realistic to lose this kind of weight. It takes attention to details.

1. You WILL need to keep track of everything you eat and assess the calories.

2. You will need to keep your calorie totals below a given amount everyday.

3. Maintain regular strength training.


In other circumstances, I would use the word discipline, but actually I will use the word "habit" instead. Get into the habits above.
 
Brief Update

Thanks for the advice Dobner

Just a quick update on progression thus far. Have been going fairly well in sticking to diet and exercise routines. Tempted to stray of course, but have kept to plan...working on developing those "Habits!"

Further progress - managed to drop another 1.6kg this week (3.52lbs) so with any luck I will keep this up.

Noticed a big increase in energy of late too....

Peace and Love :)

Herbie
 
Herbie86,

Nice Work! That is serious progress. We want to hear the continuing progress of you.

sushi

Watch out for sushi. Try and stick to sashimi. Sushi rice is one evil carb. The stuff they add makes it as potent as white sugar. I LOVE sushi and have noticed that on days I eat it no matter how much exercise I do or how little else I eat I can't lose ANY weight on that day.
