So here I am

In May 2014 I weight 120kg and increasing.
I made a decision at that time to change.
I stayed just cutting out junk and walking and gradually made small changes to the point I am now running over 200km a month and starting to add muscle onto the skinny frame I managed to achieve.
With a few months I was 90 kg, then by Xmas I was 80 I dropped as low as 77kg before my family was getting worried about thin I was getting. I knew then it was time to change my routine and start to add muscle.
This first pic shows a before where I was roughly at my heaviest and the next is where I weight about 80kg
This next one shows a comparison of when I was about 80kg before weights to roughly the same weight on the scales (80kg) but after a few weeks of weight traning as well as my running
I never for a minute thought I would achieve weight loss let alone be able to run over 200km a month. Even as a teenager I couldn't even run 1k without nearly dying.
I have a 5k charity run to do in July then a 15k in September followed by a half marathon that I've not scheduled yet.

Love it- you're doing a fantastic job. I'm still in the cutting phase and doing plenty of cardio but looking forward to people telling me I look too thin ;-)0

Hey thanks for your comments, looks like you are trying the same approach as i took and that to cut to the point of people worrying and then whack the protein into me and hit the weights.... its certainly worked (working) for me..... good luck, with dedication and commitment it really works....
FYI - I used to do every second day in the gym and never ate my calories back that i burned.... i went to the gym before breakfast so that i was exercising while still fasting, which helps burn more calories and my exercise never pushed my heart rate above 80% max (calculated as 220-age). so some days all i did was walk about 6km/h with an incline that kept my heart rate at that magic level.... i always had it between 60 & 80%.
Once I got to the point that I was happier with my weight and the way I looked I decided I wanted to increase my fitness level and it wasn't until then that i started running, run walking to start with, so i could only do 2 minutes at a time to begin, so would run for 2 and walk for 3 and do that for a while, then i got that i could run further and longer before needing a rest, now i am at the point where i can run 10km and as above i have my goals and i fully intend to hit them.
Good luck with what your doing....0 -
