Using this thread as an accountability mechanism, and to keep track of progress on a day to day basis.
I'm 22 this August, M, 160cm, and from Sri Lanka. Around 2 weeks ago, I had an appointment for a checkup, and the doc mentioned that I looked overweight and we weighed in. I was at 86.5kg, around 190lbs. I didn't think about it much then, but later on, over the course of the week and next, it began to dawn on me on how my obesity is catching up. I find it difficult to stay awake during the afternoon even if I had a proper sleep. A nap is almost always needed. I thought this was due to my WFH routine from 6-12 (in the morning till noon), but I later realized this could be linked to my weight.
I decided this was it, and decided to make a change and start somewhere. I didn't want to opt for a gym due to the rona. I went ahead and bought myself a stationary bike 2 days ago. I have a cadence sensor on the way.
I weighed myself and I was 85kg, and this is my starting point. I want to get down to around 52KG by the end of the 6 month period.
I set a calorie deficit at around -500 for myself. That means I'd need to push atleast at least 34kms per day (considering my bike alone at the lowest resistance).
In the comments below, you will find a thread of comments on my day to day progress.
Hopefully, by the end of the 6month run, I will be in better shape, mind and health than now :)
