Hi guys,
Long time lurker here. Time to change that. I wasted so much time already. I promised myself every year that I will start a diet and hold to it. It lasted a few days/weeks and it was all over again. Not this time I hope.
Few stats for the start: M30 / H: 180cm (5.10) / CW:111.5 kg (245lbs)
I started in the middle on July above 120kg. When I stepped on the scale first time in August it was 117.4kg. So much. But it's going down. I hope to keep it that way, And to go under 110kg (hopefully this week), And then under 100kg. And under 90kg. And then we will see. Long way ahead of me,
So I calculated my TDEE (around 2500) and I am trying to eat under 1500kcal I am using MyFitnessPal and kitchen scale to make sure its as accurate as possible (still struggling with that) but otherwise, I am not doing anything specific. I am easting everything, just smaller portions and weighted. So if I want to eat a piece of chocolate, I eat it (and log it - 2 pieces 120kcal) Icecream - eat it (and log 40g - 100kcal). And coke (diet). Probably couldn't make it without a coke but I know that I should drink less of it (currently around 2l per week). Fortunately, I tend to cook on the healthier side, so for now, I believe my meals are balanced enough. However, I am aware that as my diet goes, it might be good to think about macros, regular meal times and restricting some foods.
My wife keeps me from binging. I used to work from home quite a lot before the coronavirus. And now she works from home too. I can't order huge pizza or wings or definitely too much sushi-for-one-person for lunch and it makes me feel good! I hated myself every time I did that... but there always was another time. Not anymore (yay pandemic...).
I am going for a walk and I am jogging. Started C25K and in fact, I run 5K today. 35 minutes of non-stop run with an average pace of 6.43! Big win for me but not stopping here and aiming for 10K now. I loved being active when I was... in high school and maybe college. I can't remember when I stopped martial arts training, biking, hiking. I still love doing those things, but there's always that thought "I'm too fat to go for that hike", "too fat to train", "too fat...". So I usually don't. Not long ago, my wife wanted to go horseback riding. But how could I do that to that poor animal? (Fortunately, they were all booked so I didn't need to come up with any excuses). For my birthday I wanted to go paragliding. But yeah, don't want to fall on the ground just because I weight too much (100kg limit). It would be good I I could participate in a bit more without those thoughts.
Sorry for the text being a bit chaotic. It's hard to talk about all of it and to share it with other people. But I know that having an additional support group might make things easier and give me some extra motivation in time that I ran out of my own. Glad that this community exists and that I can be a part of it.
Best to you all!
