Magic formula

Hi everyone, I just to want to share my personal experience.

Im on a lose weight journey since almost a year.

While I was trying to lose weight I continued to hang out with friends at bars almost every night, trying to limit alcohol cocktails and avoid binge drinking (that I was used to do before my decision to lose weight).

38M SW271 - CW220 - GW190

My weight loss was not constant during the journey and at the beginning I tried only to keep my calories tracked on my phone, I tried some fasting, I started to cycle few days a week with a friend during this summer.

Then I subscribed to this reddit, reading posts in my spare time..

I slowly felt that was on the right way to lose weight but everytime my balance was going down after few days everything was going up again.

I felt I was stuck and couldnt do anything about.

Then something changed.

I started to hang out with this beatiful girl, that after a while rejected me, then I felt miserabile and alone again, in the bar drinking for no reason.

Then I quit everything was a bad habit for me (also negative people) and started to focus on myself and nothing/nobody else.

I started going to the gym and quit alcohol, going to bed everynight at 11pm and waking up at 7am. Then I started to noticed few changes (few lbs off, my upper body in the mirror looked a bit differenti). I was still afraid that the journey ahead was too long and difficult due quantity of fat I had to lose. My motivation was still low.

Then I felt very bad as my habits were still very poor due the sedentary work that I do (office job).

Then one month ago I dropped everything for a bikepacking trip for 20 days. I cycled 900km through France and Spain, 15 effective biking days, 40 to 80 km a day, 3 to 5h of biking everyday.

That was a game changer. I lost my last 11lbs but the funny thing was that biggest change was not on the balance but in the mirror. I realized that those days actually did a lot. (Most of the routes were offroad or steel roads) so very intensive sessions and I was mostly rating only a Little breakfast and a normale dinner..

Now Im not afraid anymore about my journey cause I know where Im heading to.

The magic formula is get out of your current lifestyle and all its bads habits. No excuses. Focus, discover and respect yourself and workout hard to stay happy and strong! The goal is right there between your hands!

Thank you everyone.
