Just introducing myself
Hello everyone. Let me introduce myself.
I am Mike, and I live in Belgium. I have been a food addict for almost all my life (since I was 7). I did a whole bunch of stupid diets and nothings seemed to work. So I started another one this February, thinking that it might be the good one this time.
And until now it seems to be. In a bit more than 7 months I lost 25 kg (55lbs). But for two months I got stuck between 20-22kg, until I found this website. At first I thought it was stupid to fill in everything you eat, for every day, until I found out my problem: I was not eating enough. I had a calorie deficit of 800 to sometimes 1000 per day. Since I started using myfitnesspal, about 3 weeks ago, I lost 6 pounds, I am eating right, exercising right, and I seem to burn fat like never before.
My change of life I started in february was just common sense: eating less fat, and exercise more, so I started doing 30 minutes of cardio every day, after dinner. I have been reading hundreds (if not thousands) of blogs, articles, websites, ... talking about how to burn fat, which exercises to do, etc. And I picked the ones that work for me. And now after 7 months I found the right balance :-)
Anyway, sorry for the long introduction :-)
