Hey everyone, I'm Kayla. I'm 24 and just graduated college with a B.S. in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting. I'm now working toward my Master's degree in Accounting while working in a bank part time. I'm looking to lose about 40 lbs, all of the crappy eating in college took its toll! Looking for friends to stay motivated with, so feel free to add me!

The names Jacob, and I'm back with a thirst and hunger greater than I've ever had before. I started excersising back in 2011 as an obese, 110kg, twenty year old, who used to get teased and picked on in high school and later on in work. I started my journey ironically after falling through a ceiling at work.......
This would be the biggest turning point in my life. I started off walking, in which i lost 2 kgs in one week!!! Not only did this assure me that I had begun my journey to a happier healthier me, it also steered my eating habits into a whole other direction. I chose healthier options, smaller meal portions, and finally gave up my obsession with high sugar energy drinks. In the following weeks I continued to walk, which eventually turned into short sprints, losing a further 14 kgs in 8 weeks.
I then started the next chapter, weight training..... At the time it was very daunting but I knew in order to reach my goals I would have to overcome my fear of exerting my self infront of others and just do it!! (no nike endorsements here). Over time I watched videos, learnt from people around me and continually grew my arsenal of knowledge in which I would need to crush my goals. A further 20 weeks down the track I did it, I reached 79.5 kgs. I never felt happier, stronger or more confident in my life.
After my goal I did slack, work picked up and I slowly stopped going to the gym I would get into little fitness blocks of about 2 months then fade off again as work picked up.
Now, 2017, i have set my self my next big goal. I applied and have succesfully been accepted in to the Australian Army. For the last month I have been training (weights and cardiovascular) and have lost a total of 6 kgs. My start weight was 94. so currently sitting arouund 88 kgs. Im doing a far bit of weight training but am also heavily focused on cardio and endurance training as of course this will be a major obstacle in joining the armed forces.
So follow my journey for the next couple months as i continue to fullfil my dream, getting stronger, faster, fitter and healthier again.
I will post weekly, for anyone whom wish's to follow along, but ideally for my self to keep my self accountable.
Happy Training Fitfam.

Congratulations on graduating! The college lifestyle can really take a tole on the body and is not great for productivity. In art school, it was insane. There was barely any healthy food places by campus, and the college cafeteria did not have fresh food options either. Combine that with lack of sleep, tight deadlines, and the stress with multiple projects, and you have a whole campus full of drained, depressed, and greasy students. I started to teach myself how to cook once I graduated and that really helped me lose a lot of the fat I was carrying around then. Not to mention I had more energy, confidence, and clear mind.
I'd love to talk more health and recipes with you and anyone else in this forum so please feel free to add me. We can help eachother on our fitness journeys!~0
