i dont really have any b4 after pics, here you can see my gut, lots of loose fatty skin:
this is part way into training, had lost the 20kgs but still had a gut:
this is most recent pic. cycling a place called forrest im still the same weight as the middle pic, but have loads more muscle now, so its spread out:
What inspired you to start training?
split up with EX. 5 year relationship, got depressed, realised i was fat as fk' and wanted to improve my own self esteem.
What did you do to transform/change?
best thing i ever did was start eating breakfast. i have always eating "healthy", as in always avoided fructose of any kind, watched fat/salt/sugar intakes, but kept a "balanced diet" it wasnt balanced at all cos' i was binge eating. i.e. big dinner, no breakfast or lunch. once i started forcing myself to eat 2 eggs on toast in the AM, i was getting hungry at lunchtime (due to my metabolism being awakened at the right time) so eating something for lunch, then eating smaller meals for dinner and not snacking at all. but at times if i HAD to snack (say watching a movie) id eat plain salted corn chips. great snack cos' youre keeping your mouth occupied, while not ingesting too much.
then started muay thai. 20kgs dropped in 8 weeks. mauy thai is ALLLLL cardio and lots of it. great way to shed kgs. in the times between sessions i would bike ride. its easy in summer, but when winter rolls round im gonna have to get back into muay thai more sessions per week, but im worried the trainers are gonna get pissed that i dont wanna fight.
What are your future goals?
none really, stay eating healthy stay around 85kgs. hardest part is gonna be keeping it off during winter, but ill work on that as it happens. not sure if i want to quit smoking or not, at this stage its still "not" hoping to meet a nice girl who doesnt smoke and will help through quitting, but i know i should do it for me, not for anyone else. "me" just isnt a good enough reason atm.
also, its important to remember than a drink my weight in beer on a daily basis. so whoever said "beer makes you fat" is a fkn moron who doesnt understand the human metabolism.
Stats before and stats after your change?
104kg's weighed in (which was the reason for my wanting to diet) 82kgs 8 weeks later. around 85kgs now cos' put on a bit more muscle weight.
i do have to give a big UPPP to hama>jecs>gren and all the other lads that jumped on the bandwagon. it really helped to get on chatbox after a session and have a yarn about how sore we all were
promise ill get back into routine when the weather cools down a bit. my gym doesnt have AC and i neraly passed out in mid jan.
