So for those of you that don't know before the summer I never worked out and I was basically fat. Yes, I was a fat fuck. I am 5'9, and at the beginning of the summer I weighed 180 pounds. That is very over weight for someone that size and unhealthy. I finally decided I was going to lose weight and I now weigh in the range of 135-140. It took me about 3 months to do this, June to the end of August beginning of September ishh. If you want to lose weight like I did, which is an about 10 pounds a month here is how I did it, and what I would recommend to everyone.
**How to with Food**
So what I did was cut my food intake down a TON!!! I would really only eat two meals a day and my first meal would be a shake at around 11-1 (That is when I would wake up in the morning) then at dinner time I would have my second meal. My shake consisted of a scoop of protein powder, 1 banana, a cup of almond milk, a scoop of peanut butter, and 5-6 ice cubes. For dinner I would eat whatever my parents made usually it was a healthy dish. You want to cut your food intake completely down because you want your body to go hungry and use the fat that you have stored up. It is hard to do this at first but after a couple times your self discipline will grow and you will see the gains you are making.
**How to do it Exercise**
So during the summer I would work out pretty much everyday. I would go to the Gym 3 days a week and do a serious 1 hour workout. With going to the gym 3 days a week, I would also go on a mile to a mile and a half run everyday. This was enough exercise to get me in shape, and with me cutting my calorie intake down completely I was able to lose a good amount of weight.
**What I do now**
So now after having lost the weight and everything I workout 5 days a week in the gym. I am on an abroad program for school so it is hard to maintain my diet and everything, but I try. The way I look at it is I am doing a hardcore workout in the gym for an hour to an hour and a half each day, and I am in shape, so I am able to eat pretty much anything I want. When I get home I am going to be going on a strict protein diet and will go back to eating healthy and working out 3-5 times a week. Since being here I have not really gained any weight, I think maybe 2-3 pounds but that is it.
P.S. If you guys want to see before and after pictures I have them on my phone. I took pictures every week to document the change. I still am doing it every week. I would also love to hear some of your stories and everything if you guys have undergone a major weight loss or you are trying to.
