Hi r/loseit,
I've always been a little chubby since high school, I played on the rugby team for a few years, as well as basketball and football for fun, but over the last two years especially I've really let myself go.
Sure, every now and again I'll go on a health kick and hit the gym for a few weeks or stop guzzling down alcohol and fast food, but I always seem to find my way back to binge eating every single day.
I came back from a stag do on Sunday, a full weekend of beers, burgers and snacks, hopped on the scales and weighed in at 96 kilos (212lbs). That's the heaviest I have ever been, and at 30 years old and 177cm tall, it makes me obese. Looking at the BMI chart and seeing that in black and white was the wake up call I needed.
I immediately set up a myfitnesspal account, worked out my TDEE and set my calorie intake to 1800 per day. Yesterday I went for a run, only around 3km and I had to walk for at least half of it. I have set up a gym membership, again, and am seriously considering getting a PT after pay day.
I guess I'm posting here for accountability. My goal is to lose 26kg to get to a healthy weight of 70kg. I'm hoping to achieve this over the next 8 months, so by June 2019. By posting online I feel that I have given myself some encouragement in an overwhelmingly positive forum, have defined clear goals but done so without setting myself up for failure with my close friends and family.
Akela out!
