Hello everyone!
I'm a 30 year old male from Michigan. I have been overweight nearly all of my life. For the first time, I'm making a concentrated effort to permanently follow a healthy diet and implement an active lifestyle.
I'm beginning the third week of my weight loss program, and I found these forums while looking for some inspiration stories and before-and-after photos. As I read some of the threads in the forum, I came to realize that this site had the potential to be a powerful part of my weight loss motivational base. I hope to be able to pick up information and inspiration from the fellow members, and eventually perhaps be able to help others as well.
As far as my weight loss plan is concerned, here are the specifics:
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Height: 6' 0"
Starting weight: 345 lbs
Week #1 weigh-in: 342 lbs
Week #2 weigh-in: 336.25 lbs
My goal is to get to 200 lbs. I hope to reach that goal in one year (52 weeks). I will allow myself flexibility as I approach that goal in terms of how I modify my intake and workout regimen. Currently, I am averaging just over 1300 calories per day, with no days below 1100 calories and a few days that were just over 1600 calories. I am up to doing one hour of walking at 3.5 mph, which I am doing four times per week. Also, I am doing 30 minutes of isolated lifting twice per week.
I know this post was a bit long, but I figured I'd get my information and details out there so if anyone came across this and wanted to give feedback they'd have a bit to work with. I look forward to sharing my successes and failures with everyone (though hopefully not many of the latter) and reading about your journies as well!
