Hi everyone
My name is Tony and I am from Singapore and this is my second post here so just want to say hi first before i get off to my story. a 25 yrs old gonna be 26 on Monday anyway standing at 1.78 m i think that 5 '10 not sure about it. I play tennis a lot since 2004 and the thing is I took it for granted, that i will never gain weight as long as I keep playing tennis but i was wrong cause i never watched my diet and kept eating junk food and going for second helping during lunch and dinner a lot and worse was the midnight snacks as I would stay up whole night watching tv and stuff. In Sept 2007 I went to Canada and Chicago and stayed for 2 mths and I didnt do any exercise nothing and I was just letting myself go, when I got back to Singapore everyone was saying I put on a lot of weight and I didnt believe them until I checked my weight which was 96 kg which is 211.2 lbs. when i checked my ideal height i was almost 44 lbs overweight.
I was lucky to get advise from my friend who is a fitness instructor to take up jogging, even though tennis is a great physical sport, it was not enough for my condition. Cause we have a lot of rain in Singapore and some days if i cant find partner to play, i cant get any work out at all. I forced myself to wake up at 4 am, drink black coffee with no sugar and milk. Jog one hr from one neighborhood to another, I dont really like to jog in a park like 10 rounds and stuff cause it really bores me, the same for gym treadmills. It was never easy at first, in fact the first few times i gave up after 1/2 hr cause my body was not used to it and i would bored a lot, and I am sure many of you went through the same thing but I began to enjoy it a lot slowly, instead of doing once a day I did it twice. I even started to lose interest in watching tv during my free time and even playing tennis much. Of cos I dieted a lot also, I cut down on rice a lot, chocolates, ice cream, meats such as lambs and beef. Mostly I would take chicken and bread and some vegetable. I did this since March of this year and now its May and I have reached like 82kg (180.4 lbs). I still have a long way to go cause i want to reach 75 kg but anything is better than being at 96 kg Smiley
I hope some of you can give me some feedback on how i can lose weight even faster without using pills and stuff. I dont believe in an of those gimmicks and they are not healthy just my opinion. My only problem still is I cant stop drinking soft drinks like Coke, I usually drink the coke light and coke zero a lot even though they state they have no calories but I hope its not some gimmick.
