Hi All,
Well here it goes, I have never written publicly or at all for that matter. I am 23 years old now and I was in the Army until last May (2010). I used to be chubby when I was in high school, lost it all to join the Army and all that weight has gradually crept back up on me. I am now doing my Masters and I think I have been using that as an excuse.
I currently hit the scales at 238 lbs (108.2 kg) which places my BMI at 29.7. I am committed to lose all the weight by 01 May for all the summer fun. My goal is 185 lbs (83.9 kg), which I hope is not too aggressive. What do you guys think?
Since I was fat when I was a kid, I tend to get moobs and a stomach when I gain weight, that will be GONE! I will be using the 4 Hour Body’s slow carb diet plan with a cheat day.
I thought to myself a few weeks ago, that it is getting ridiculous, I have all these clothes I don't fit in, and I don't look good anymore. That was my "Harajuku" moment.
I have some pretty unorthodox dieting techniques that I have used in the past, (for example: to lose weight for the Army, I ate corn flakes with a protein shake 3 times a day for 6 months). Lost 40 pounds and gained muscle. I don’t yoyo diet so much as I forget what I am eating, combined with my sedentary lifestyle. After that, it just creeps up and up and I forget about it.
P.S. : I expect and WANT criticism. Drag me through the mud, I can take it! Give me the cold hard truth. Don't hold back.
