I just graduated high school and I decided that I wanted to lose some weight before college. I’ve lost weight before, but it’s always been a result of fall sports, and then I gain it back on in the spring. I’ve never really tracked it.
So about two weeks ago I started just getting out and moving for an hour a day. Nothing special, nothing crazy, but sometimes it’s a walk, sometimes it’s a trip to the gym, whatever.
I’ve also been tracking calories pretty closely, trying to keep under 1750 (Im a tall male, so I figured that was probably a good starting place). Some days I manage to net a bit below even (today I was almost a thousand under, which is awesome).
So after tracking for two weeks, I’ve lost about four and a half pounds (294.8 -> 290.3) and damn does that feel good. I’m obviously not really seeing the physical progress yet, but I’m feeling less saturated during the day, and more willing to do things, not to mention more ready to sleep at night.
So now I’m wondering how far I want to go. My original short term goal was 20 lbs before I leave in mid September, but I’m considering trying to shoot even higher.
