Hello,
Posted this last week in the Welcome Forum. Adding it here now.
I am a new to this forum, but sadly not new to the weight loss game. I will try to keep my story brief and to the point.
I am 30 years old (almost!) and have struggled with my weight since all of my teenage and adult life. I have fluctuated between gaining and losing 3 stone (44 pounds) for the past 10 years. I lose the weight, then gain it again. When I have lost the weight, I feel confident, interested in dating etc. However, when I am the 3 stone heavier, I am depressed, eat incessantly and have no interest in socialising or dating.
This is clearly a deeply rooted issue and much of my mood and confidence is tied up with my weight. I use food to reward myself and to comfort myself when feeling low.
After a year of feeling fat, I am ready to try and give this a go… properly. I do not want to enter my thirties dieting and binging the whole time. I intend to get in to fitness again and eat sensibly. No crash dieting, just 1,600 calories daily and exercise throughout the week.
I am going to post pictures every 4 weeks to track my progress and hopefully see a big difference.
My current stats:
Age: 29 (30 in 3 weeks)
Gender: Male
Weight: 13st. 12[194 pounds / 88kg]
Height: 5ft 11
BMI: 27
I weigh every Sunday and post my results for those of you who are interested!
Wish me luck!
