Hi all,
Just wanted to share with you all my fitness journey.
I have been struggling with obesity for the last 10 years but figured id do something about it AGAIN when i started having knee pains, always being out of breath doing the smallest tasks and always breaking out a sweat in a matter of seconds!
My heaviest was at 136kgs and i started to do something about it in November 2017. After several months of seeing results my biggest shock wasnt the numbers dropping on the scale but the fact i didnt relapse like i always do with my past attempts. I started to get more serious by counting macros in February 2018 and took my first progression photo in March.
Now 10 months later i have lost 45kgs+! I feel why i have stuck with this for so long compared to my last attempts at weight loss was balance. I have always gone too extreme by restricting my calories too low or i have rewarded myself too often was my biggest problem. Now i ease in and find that balance and thats what helped me get this far. By the way, i have KFC every now and again to keep my sanity haha but taking into account im not way over my calories!
The hard part for me wasnt the diet, meal plans or workout plans it was staying motivated. My advice for anyone starting or have just started is keep reminding yourself why do you want to achieve these goals, ease in and dont do any extreme diets or workouts that may burn yourself out and cause you to rebound, have a proper plan to cater to your realistic goals and stick to it! I guarantee you, you will achieve your goals! Dont rush it!
My goal is to hit 75kgs but it doesnt stop there!

You look Awesome!! You took years off your face. I'm always looking at peoples faces because I've lost 30 lbs. and my face hasn't gone down at all, like I've seen on others when they haven't even lost as much as as I have. That's one reason I haven't even posted a before and during picture. You are really inspiring thanks for posting I live for these pics and success stories.1

hi garlo12, thank you for the compliments! i must say i was the opposite and honestly iwas hesitant to even show my day 1 photo and started my progress photo 4 months later! cos my situation was i lost 16kgs at the time, my neck has gotten smaller than before but my belly was still hasnt gotten smaller at all! if i recall i was still a sz38. but garlo12 please keep it up, you did great even just losing 30lbs. seeing the physical changes may take time but im sure you felt lighter, healthier and happier 0
