New years day 2011, I decided I wasn't going to be unhealthy anymore. I felt fat, I felt frumpy. I felt really unhappy about myself.
So I weighed myself, 87.3kgs (BMI of 32.9). A big number for me thats for sure. One I didn't want to see ever again.
I have lost 20kgs in 12 months. Most in the first 3 months, then as I got a little slack things plateaued. The one thing I have kept on doing is the exercising. I didn't want to be one of those people who just dieted. I have to make it a whole lifestyle change.
Apparently I look like I have lost a fair bit of weight (its always harder to tell since you are in your body all the time and its harder to tell the difference) and people always ask me how I did it.
I basically just say, diet, eating better, and exercising. No quick fixes. No pills, no shake replacement diets, no counting calories, just being sensible and trying be active.
What is my goal for 2012? I want to do more. I want to enjoy exercising more. I want to push myself, I want to redefine my body. I want to learn to eat better (it's an ongoing issue for me). I want to help motivate others. If I can do it, so can you.
