Hi everybody!
(hy, dr. Nick xD )
I'm a 23 year old IT student from Croatia. I've always been a little on the plus side of the scale, but nothing too serious - it was quite nice shaped, because at that time I trained capoeira
However, as I started studying, it all escalated. I had about 90kg, and soon got more and more. The main fault is that I had NO IDEA what is right, what to eat, what not, actually no idea about that, and as a result - my eating was left to chance. I also stopped training capoeira as I feared it would disrupt my studying (it was probably just rationalizing).
Anyway, little by little I got to my new highest: 113.8 kg. And that was it. And then, not so long ago, I think it was this new year, so 1.1.2012. that I stepped on the scale and it showed 130.8kg, which isss....288lbs, I think.
And....before that I tried losing weight, and failed, and tried again, and succeeded, and gained it back etc etc etc.
I experimented with macrobiotics, and it worked great, but it's expensive and honestly: TOO complicated for me.
I tried with the green smoothie from Victoria Boutenko's "Green for life", but I was always hungry with it.
No doubt all those systems work, but...not for me.
Now I found some new stuff, Taoism
It's full of easy to make, veeeery tasty, completely balanced, and very nutritious recipes that I have fallen in love with <3
There are also some weird taoistic exercises that are sooo easy to do, I can't describe, and they also FEEL good
Ok, I know it sounds like I'm advertising, but it's just sooo good
Anyway, I started a little, nothing serious, at the beginning of the year. Then stopped almost immediately. Then got a bet with my friend on April 1st, that I will lose a lot of weight until July 1st, which is like...right around the corner
And I did!
I was down to 113.5kg, which was like WOW! It's been soo long since I was that low with my weight, and feeling that great.
However, I don't know why (it's probably because I had one exam at that time, and that stresses me out and I just eat junk, order pizza, juices, chocolates <3 ) and I stopped, again. I was almost again completely back. I got to 125.5kg (pretty numbers, I know xD ). And now I'm aaat.....112kg (give or take, it moves a lot).
So, my new plan is to start on July 1st again, but this time I give myself 6 months to go to my ideal weight. As defined by my hot bodybuilding friend: height - 100cm, which in my case is: 178 - 100 = 78kg
And I calculated, it seems quite possible: I read somewhere that 5kg/month is ok rhythm, not too slow, not too dangerous. So by that calculations, I should be at my goal by the end of the year. I even made a graph and everything
hm...what else?
Oh yeah, I was talking to my friend the other day like: what when I lose weight, I don't want to be skinny, that's also not pretty. So he gave me a brilliant idea: start swimming
That's my plan!
Wow I'm already getting excited
I was like a girl: watching hot swimmers bodies on the internet, and was like: I want that
I don't know yet when I'll start swimming. I know it's not soon, becaue I'm tooooooo big to take my clothes of. But Somewhere around 90-100 kg should be ok I think
And that's in like....long time
sooooo, to make the long story short:
Hello, and whassup?
Wow! 45kgs in 6 months - getting scared :)
Good luck, and welcome to the party!
