Hey everyone, I’m 20 years old and have reignited my weight loss about 3 months ago. Back in 2017 I weighed 400lbs and was able to get down to 300 by playing tennis during school with the support of my best friend but after I graduated I just stopped and got back to around 315 before starting up again and I’m currently down to 277, the lowest I’ve been since my freshman year of high school. I finally found the motivation to lose weight after deciding I wanted to join the police academy.
Hi, I always love the motivation to start a good journey especially when it comes dropping weight. There is article I read I hope it will motivate you some more
If you've decided you want to lose some weight (whether it be just a few pounds or a large chunk of your body mass), chances are you've done the research on diets, plans, gyms, exercises, and anything that you can find on that subject. If so, you've probably seen that most credible sources will tell you that weight loss and fitness are strongly related. If not, that's what I'll tell you now.
If you want to lose weight, you first need to evaluate a few truths. The most obvious is that if you burn off more calories than you eat, you will lose weight. You can either chose to do no 'extra' exercise and eat very, very little in order to lose weight, or you can stick to a plan that will burn off enough calories and allow you not to starve yourself. It's also important to note that overly-decreasing your calorie intake can backfire on you because your body will slow your metabolism down in order to accommodate this adjustment in calorie intake. This will cause you to actually gain weight instead of lose it.
The next fact is that a combination of water and oxygen leads to fat burning. Make sure that you are getting at least a half gallon of water every day. Your body will use this water when you exercise, and cause you to lose weight in a healthy way. Again, you must combine your water intake with some form of aerobic exercise (increased oxygen) for this to work. Choose something that you like and can do on a regular basis like Walking, biking, swimming, yard work, etc. As long as you get your heart rate up a little bit, it's a good fat burning exercise.
Cheers and best wishes, talk to you later.
congratulations.
