Hey everyone! As you can see in the image the one on the left was me a touch over a year ago and me on the right taken a couple weeks ago.
Sorry it isn't a full length images. I didn't have many images of myself. Anyway I guess I should throw in a story as to what I've been doing.
I'll start by saying I don't actually know how much I've lost. I weight 120kg on the left image and I am aiming for 90kg but I kind of thought there's no point having a goal weight because then I might stop and put it back on.
Anyway I credit most of this to a program called c25K. There's a sub: r/c25K and they are amazing! If you don't know what it's about, it's essentially couch to 5k. As the name implies, it's a program to get you to be able to run/jog 5ks. At first I was apprehensive and thought I wouldn't do it. But now I can comfortably run a 5k in 27/28mins and not even get out of breath!
Of course diet plays a big part in this too. Now I don't know really how 'impressive' this weight loss is, I'll let you be the judge. Anyway I didn't do some crazy ass diet where I cut everything and just ate water and air.
I started a bit unconventionally. I worked on my fitness First then diet. Usually most people tend to do it the other way. But I found I was more motivated to eat well so I could run faster. Typically I run 3/4 times a week, and on these days I will eat 2 pieces of toast in the morning, usually avocado. And have a ham and salad wrap and apple for lunch. Banana for morning tea, 2 coffees, a cup of tea in the arvo and eat like a pig at dinner. (But not a big portion size). I usually try to have veggies or salad with dinner. Once/twice a week I will eat ice cream or cake and have a couple snacks through the week.
I think one of the big things was cutting out beer and soft drink/soda. I have cordial once a day with dinner which is very weak. And have 2 or so litres of water. More on running days.
I work a sit down office job and found I have to eat well and run to maintain the weight loss.
Anyway I just wanted to share, and I hope this might serve as inspiration for others? Trust me, I was the typical fat, lazy slob. I'm still lazy at times haha, but not too bad. Anyway ask me anything you want, and thanks for the support over the year and everyone sharing their stories. So many people here are real inspirations!
