2015: 105 kgs/232 pounds Overweight but generally healthy, regular football (soccer) games. Thyroid problems and some really bad habits regarding eating and drinking during my first master's degree got me to 105 kgs. But I was healthy and no issues.
2015, December: ACL tear
2016, May: 130 kgs/287 pounds Due to ACL tear, couldn't play football anymore. Depression in first semester PhD and stress eating 7/11 food. Broke the weighing machine when I stood on it, decided to lose weight.
2017, May: 120 kgs/265 pounds Diagnosed with herniated disc due to bad posture.
2018, May: 115 kgs/253 pounds Underwent surgery for ACL and some conservative treatment for herniated disc. This took out the best form of fitness activity for me - lifting. Without being able to play football and squat/deadlift, losing weight would have been tough and that's exactly what happend.
2019 May: 122 kgs/269 pounds Finally decided to diet a bit while building on exercise. Exercise isn't as amazing as 2017-18 but it was good. Couldn't do a pull up in 2016, can do weighted ones now. So yes progress, stronger and fitter but the weight scale not helping. Decided to diet, not helping much because am almost at the end of my PhD and one thing I am consistently losing at is - dieting long term. Hence the following resolution.
2019, Nov: 111 kgs/245 pounds Starting today, will be a keeping a strict tab on diet till January 10, 2020. No messing around with diet, maintain calorie deficit. Keep hitting gym consistently with the program used in 2017. Do not go to play football till Jan 10. Weekend football is regularly resulting in ankle injuries or back stiffness since right leg is weaker due to ACL surgery and other muscles over-compensate. Injury leads to me being miserable, also end up ordering in to fix my mood and skipping gym because of the injuries. Ensure regular stretching for fixing the damage caused by sitting in front of the computer all day. If you are miserable about missing football, take the football and kick it around in the drawing room. Practice by yourself but no games till Jan, 2020!
For the next few weeks stick to your resolution. See where it takes you. Come back and report weight week in first week of Jan, report even if you mess up.
Starting weight: 111kgs/ 245 pounds Height: 6ft 3 inches Idle weight: Random BMI calculator says 87 kgs/192 pounds Idle weight for me: 95 kgs/210 pounds.
Not expecting to lose all of it in the stipulated time but let's see how far we can go! See you in a few weeks!
