The past 13 weeks have been hell but i will be damned if i didnt need it. I am 5' 10" 31 year old guy that 13 weeks ago was 318pds. I would never have hoped to get down to 262.6 in this amount of time let alone at all. I know i still have a long ways to go as im aiming for 200 by the end of this year (my shoulders are as broad as a barn so i should be pretty trim at 200)
I've been counting calories on the fat secret app and been biking at the gym 5x a week until recently when i subbed one of my biking days for a weight lifting one. I only bike for a single hour but have been pushing myself harder and further. I started out only being able to do just under 12 miles to me setting a new personal best at 22.54 miles today. (Difficulty 7 on hill plus mode for context)
I started keeping myself at 1842 calories a day but just last week dropped it to 1546 and am only starving a little bit so ill call that a win. Its been hard and i know without the calorie counting app to keep me honest i wouldnt have been able to stay on track. Accountability is key.
I would have shared a before and after pic but i lacked the foresight to take a selfie when i started this and to be fair i was quite ashamed of my appearance so even if i had thought of it i probably would have chosen not too. I was obese and even now after 55.4pds im still quite fat.
Every day continues to be a struggle but so far its a struggle i am winning. But i look forward to the day i hit 200. I do t think ive been 200 since 9th grade.
Wish me luck and may fortune smile on your health.
