Hi All!
I just received my body weight scales today, and I weighed in at 255lbs. To put it into perspective, in June last year I weighed in at 280lbs. I'm 6'2", and my BMI is still in the obese range. Unfortunately I never formalised my goals before now - after my housemate moved out I never even replaced my scales. I tried to eat healthier with mixed success, and I was pretty happy to see that I have in fact lost 25lbs in the last 6 months.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to buy myself a rowing machine. I used to row at school, and I decided it was a good way to work on my fitness. I am rowing 6 days a week doing follow along workouts twice a day. I also walk for 40mins a day with my rescue greyhound, who has helped keep me sane through lockdown. Since getting the rowing machine, I have started a food diary, aiming for a 5-600 calorie deficit every day. I'm already feeling much better with both my mental and physical health. Knowing I am working to better myself has been a huge weight off my mind. And after 6-8 years without any proper exercise, the feeling I get after a good workout is amazing.
My goal weight is 195lb - my aim is for in six months time to have an update post letting you know I made it!
Anyways, good luck to everyone going through a similar journey - we can do this!
