Hi All,
I am currently on a weight loss journey. I have always been overweight and I feel now is the time to get things in order.
When I started this journey I was tipping the scales at 135.3KG. I started exercising on March 25, 2014 and I am now down to 124.7KG.
I will give you some background. Before I started exercising my breakfast could have been anything from a sausage sandwich to toast with butter and marmalade. Lunch could be a full meal or a chicken roll or something like that. Dinner again would be a full meal, some meat, mashed potatoes and veg. There would also be snacks in between and fizzy drinks of course. Going all out lol.
Since I started exercising I cut out everything and I am happy to say I have a strong willpower and now 3 months later I do not have any cravings. My eating plan now is. Cereal and a 0% Fat yogurt for breakfast. Macaroni for lunch (Pasta :/) but not a big portion and sometimes I will include boiled rice but again not a big portion. Dinner could be noodles with some pork or some stir fried rice. None of these are big portions. I am also only drinking water now. A good estimate would be about 2ltrs of water per day. That's it nothing else.
When I started, I started with the insanity weightloss program and did the first half of it. It was probably too intense for me as my body just ached after it so I gave that up but with the determination to try something else. So, I went outside and started walking and running. I started to get shin splints but again this didn't deter me and I continued to go on. So, I went and joined a gym. That is where I am currently. I am doing 30 minutes cycling and getting up to 11KM so I think fairly good and 30 minutes walking with speed at max 5.5, yeah not much but its all I feel I can do, and I cover about 3KM with that. I do this 5 days per week.
That is all I am doing for the moment and I am shifting 1.5KG on a good week and the next week it could be 0.7KG. Feels a bit frustrating putting in the hard work and being covered in sweat but yet it is moving quite slowly.
My goal... Since I started my goal is to be 90KG by 18 October, 2014. There is an important family event then and I want to be in shape for it. So, right now I need to lose 34.7KG in just under 4 months. I want to think its doable but maybe you guys will know better.
So, there you go, that's my story of where I have come from, where I am at, and where I am hoping to go.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for reading.
