Hi,
I'm new here and I've joined up for quite a selfish reason if I'm honest.
I wanted to find somewhere were I could keep track of my weight loss and effort I put into it, I tried it a few months ago with a private journal and I fell off quite quickly. I'm hoping with renewed determination and a public journal I will feel more inclined to carry on and get myself into better shape, I hope that because others can see my progress that I will feel guiltier if I stray off path and that overall it allow me to do a much better job of it.
So I better start this thing off with a quick description of myself. I'm 17 and 5'11, I weigh around 14 stone (90KG) which gives me a BMI of 27.3. I play a lot of sport including Rugby Cricket Hockey and Squash as well as a bit of Basketball and Tennis. However no matter how much sport I seem to play I haven't managed to shed my belly (which is where most of my weight seems to be!).
So if decided to start to eat much healthier. I will stop having the usual rubbish at school and will now only have Salad and cold meat from the salad bar along with fruit for desert. At home I have good all round healthy meals anyway but I will strive to ensure I don't snack on tit bits throughout the night. I will cut down on the amount of fizzy drinks I have a week, just generally keep myself on a tighter leash with regards to the food I eat.
In terms of exercise I reckon I need to do much more Cardio-vascular work, so I have pulled out my Dad's old exercise bike and have placed it in my room. I plan to ride it for 30 minutes every two days with Sunday and Saturday off ( I play a rugby/cricket match on a Saturday most weeks). However I understand that the body needs to do activities, so I'll be using the Running machine once a week and the rowing machines on the occasional
Saturday morning.
I will also be trying to build some muscle to replace the fat so i'll be going to the gym once a week at least, and doing stomach and back exercises most nights.
This may seem like a lot but it isn't that much IMO, I just hope that it works! I don't have any scales at home but I go to my Grandma's every Sunday and she does so I can weight myself there.
Current stats:
Weight: 90KG (approx)
BMI: 27.3 (approx)
