Hi my name is Dominic!
I have tried in the past to stick to losing weight however it's been more of a yo-yo effect always getting stuck around ~104kg (230lb) but this time I will get through that wall and keep losing.
I am going to start blogging/diary my progress to help me be more accountable seeing it here for me to update every day to help me keep track and stay on the rails, and hopefully draw inspiration from this wonderful forum and maybe even inpsire others somehow (if I lose the weight).
Thus far my stats are;
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Height: 175cm (5'10')
Waist: 42'
Weight: 106kg (234 lb)
GOAL
Ideally would love to be 90kg by Christmas, which works out to be -1.5kg/week loss which I think is doable and probably lose more if I'm really focused/determined. For now lets see how I go and edit this spot as we go.
SIDE GOALS
Before starting this thread I had already dropped from 111kg to 104kg then up to 106kg and down, then back up.. so with a bit of persistence and willpower will push on through it.
A few things I have already done to aid in losing weight is cutting out any sugary drinks, pretty much have stuck to drinking only water (lots and lots of water) green tea, and have started drinking soy milk rather then the normal milk which just seems to help store fat. Also drinking apple vinegar in the morning to help my motabolism among other things its good for.
I have been trying to figure out a meal plan so as to not to just impulse eat, I prefer to have a plan of action to help me keep me on track, right now just the simple idea of eating small portions is working, but sometimes I just eat a little too much.. (can't it sometimes especially with mums good cooking...) Over the course of this Diary/Blog I will try to create a clear meal plan for me to follow and write it out here, aim is 1700-2000 calories a day.
As far as exercising goes, it took a bit of a hit since I moved house and am no longer close to a gym to walk to, however there is a park near by which I have been going to walk, and get some fresh air along the way which is always a plus. I also have some free weights which I've begun using to do simple excersises which are effective till I sort out a new gym. I know I don't need a gym, since I have all I need at home, but I prefer the gym the atmosphere makes me go there and get working with no mucking around.
Enough is enough, I've declared war on freeloading fat dragging me down in life!
