I've been overweight since I was a small kid. Looking back on photos of me when I was 4 or 6 years old, you could see me transforming into a fat kid. Ever since I was 12 or 13, I've tried to lose weight, but I could never stick to anything because I was clueless about techniques and never saw results.
Finally, in 2009, my uncle began giving me a helping hand. Since then, I've embarked on a weight loss journey worthy of The Biggest Loser.
In 2009 I started at 128kg, and by December I was weighing in at about 91kg. Over the course of 2010 I whittled down my body fat more and more, and focused on weight training as I wish to transform myself into a lean, toned, muscular machine.
For a simple before and after, see here:
Since then, I've lost a few more kilos. I need to make a new photo, but it's still bloody impressive.
And this illustrates my weight loss progression:
Once again, I need a new "after" photo, but still...
Here are a few more "before" photos to illustrate the extent of the damage I did to my body:
As of now, I'm not satisfied with my body. I have a long way to go. I have stomach flab to fight, and muscle to build. But I would be foolish, and, frankly, selfish to say I'm not at least happy with my progression. After all, the self-control I've exerted in avoiding chocolate and other junk (even pasta, potatoes, bread, etc) for so long counts for something. (Obviously, over Christmas '09 and '10 I did succumb to eating junk, but c'mon...It's CHRISTMAS!)
And that's my story
