Hello fellow warriors,

This is Spidey. I am 84 kilos and 24 years old. I want to lose 4 kg's of weight until Feb 1st. That's my immediate goal. Over-all broad goal is to lose fat and also have my weight around 73 kilos with good muscle shape and posture along with better endurance, stamina and flexibility.

First things first - the acceptance. I have been over weight all through my life. I had pockets of physical activity throughout my life but i guess i have wrong habits of diet. Anyway point is, I am FAT and I have wanted to change it from a really long time but have failed it time and again. I have really low self esteem when it comes to weight and i want to accept it. I am also shit scared that i might fail and be a loser yet again. I also am very afraid of embarking on this journey as all these days i have postponed it citing one reason or another.

Now the load of repressed uncomfortable feelings are put out, i feel much better.

Some factors and positives that will help me along are :
1. I have great support at home, people cooking what i want when i want.
2. Have membership in all the clubs and gyms. So have good facilities for physical exercise.
3. I have no major goal until next 3-4 months. I can actually focus on physical well being only.
4. My pug is over weight too, so i will have a partner in my dieting :D

My plan would be to:
1. Drink 3 litres of water everyday.
2. Replace after breakfast tea which has good amounts of milk and sugar to a green tea.
3. Daily physical activity of badminton every morning from Jan 1st.
4. Will introduce hopefully 3 days of gym every week.
5. Jog/run in the evenings at a nearby park.
6. Will stand up once in a while/take walks in between.
7. More importantly, while "feeling good" will not happen and all these will be a pain in the ass until i get fit, i will try to be positive as much as i can and appreciate myself when i can.
8. Have an eating plan as we all know, if it's not planned, it will not happen.

Eating plan=
1. banana after waking up.
shuttle and everything until 9.
breakfast of multi grain roti ( indian bread ) with vegetable curry.
12 - lunch same as breakfast.
2 - peanuts/ almonds handful
4 - one brown bread and omlette
7 - dinner same as breakfast.

Will plan to have fixed sleeping hours as much as possible. I am really bad at discipline of sleeping.

This is my overall plan guys. Please support me, i will when i can.
 
I have started gym two days ago. The first day started with light cardio and weights and second day had light cardio of 40 minutes. Replaced tea with green tea and majorly fulfilling in drinking water! Food control while being done, is not upto mark due to just too many parties. Until 2nd Jan, I have obligations and hopefully i can eat regulated home food after that. Very happy with my journey so far! Thank you Spidey!
 
Hey! Great start! I'm a newbie here myself, but I've looked around and this is a great place to be. Its very supporting and encouraging, and plenty of positive energy to go around. I have similar issues like you, in the fact that I've never had much self-esteem or self-respect, and while I do fear failure... at least failure means I TRIED, and trying is ultimately a hundred times better than not having tried at all. As humans, we have this learned-behavior to avoid things that scare us or something we know or think will cause us pain.

A lot of people view fitness and health as a "chore"... something they "have" to do. But if you change the way you look at it, even if you have to pretend you like it in the beginning, over time you can essentially retrain your brain to think of it as something good. 90% of the battle is mental; hard work and good eating can't happen, and won't stick if you continue to view it negatively.

Keep up the great work! You can do it!
