I dont know where to really start to so I will just get right to the point. Over the last month or so I have really started to get concerned with my body, espcecially with Covid. So over the past month I have been going on walks with my dog/running a little bit/ etc. However (thanks to this community), I saw some tips on what I should do, rather than just give 50%.
So starting last Monday (I am one week in), I weighed myself at 202.8 LBS (My goal weight will be around 165). I am around 5'6, 27 year old male and have always been stocky, I have massive legs and calves that are almost all muscle. I played sports my whole life, and even some in college (club teams) but that was about 5 or 6 years ago. I used to do other activities (hot yoga, pilates, biking) but havent been really that active in a few years.....back to the good stuff.
So I tracked to lose two pounds a week on my fitness pal, which recommended a net of 1500 calories per day (thus around 1700 total to cover the 200 used during working out). Thus I ran 6 times last week, all followed with some sort of lift (dumbells at home) or core workout (planks/abs) or yoga. I stayed discipline all week and noticed that I lose 4 pounds this past week...which I am very impressed by. However I am a bit concerned about losing too much too fast. Can you guys give me answers or your best opinionated guesses on my questions below.
- My biggest fear is that I'll end up having loose skin when I get to my goal weight. Should that be a concern considering my age and height? (27m, 5'6, GW 165 or 37LBs in 20 weeks or so)
- I am trying to lose 2 pounds a week, however I am assuming the first few weeks back to working out the weight will come off a bit easier and then will gradually pan out to the 2 lbs a week?
- Should I focus more on working out my arms/chest/abs to avoid the excess fat and build muscle up over there?
Thanks in advance guys! I really appreciate the help.
