I am new to the site but not in setting realistic goals. I gained weight when I had an accident and I went from boxing/ weight training 5/6 times a week, to being in a wheel chair for 8 month, I still had the calorie intake with out the exercise. I learned how to walk again when I was 21 I am now 25. I have went from 21 stone to 17.4 stone I am still powering on, although I am not interested in weight loss now. I just want to gain muscle and fitness levels again. Weight loss will happen along side of my current goals.
I am gaining strength quite well from muscle memory, and I have stared Thai boxing again, after I was told I would never be able to do the things I enjoy from medical professionals but I have proved them wrong and have the all clear to train again.
Don't give up its the little steps that make the biggest difference.
