So you saw the tittle name of the post and you are wondering "what do those numbers mean?Well my dear friends that is my weight (Kg). I weighted exactly 107.4 4 months ago and right now 89.

This is my personal success story so far and going onward. ( personal goal is to reach 83 or something like that).


All of the above will be about me and how i managed to lose weight in the past 4 months.I am not really here to brag even though it seems like it heh i am just very excited that i finally managed to do it for i have been trying to achieve this for such a long time that i have almost gave up but yet here i am almost there so close i can almost grab my dream.


Anyway......let me start..


Just before the 1st April i decided i had enough of my lazy life. All i was doing every day was sit in front of the computer and watch movies , play games and browse the web (true nerd at hearth) and its nothing wrong with doing all of that , i just did to much of it . I felt uncomfortable in my body and when i sat down in front of the computer ive put a pillow between me and the desk just to feel more comfortable so my fat stomach doesnt bother me.


I kept thinking how it would be awesome to be slim ALL THE TIME i was going basically insane slowly and depressed at that too.I never liked people taking pictures of me because i couldnt stand looking at the pictures after.I felt so grossed out when i wore a T-shirt because i saw all the fat and was ashamed , dont let me even start how it was in summer when i went swimming.


I NEEDED CHANGE!

And thats what i did , on 1st april i wanted to start a new life. So i started walking 30min uphill and run downhill 10min. (I know its not smart to run downhill when your in bad shape because of all the weight hammering on your knees but i was clueless back than) anyway i was doing that for 2 weeks + i ate 6 meals a day and lots of water thats what everybody suggests you to do anyway. I tried to eat as much fruit and veggies as i could and stayed completely off candy.

So things went well ( i actually didnt even go on the scale at all so i had no clue how much i was losing , i was to scared to go on the scale and see me go even higer or not drop at all ).

Sooooo after 2 weeks what happened?......NOTHING i stopped running went back to normal "eat whatever you want" and i dont even remember anymore why i did that , i guess i got lazy and gave up.


So i been back to normal for 1 week and a half. Than one day i went outside and all my friends were out of town and i have no idea what i should do so i told myself "Hey lets go for a run". So i decided to run to the next village (2km) and it went pretty good , i wasnt huffing and puffing anymore i could actually breath like a normal person while running and guess what i almost got to the village so not so shaby for me back than in that fat state.


That motivated me by A LOT. I decided to run every day and HELL YES i did because i wanted to see how far i can run. Every day i wanted to run further , 200m more 400m 600m more ect.So i been doing that for another 3 weeks (started eating 6 meals a day as well) So than i decided to go on the scale and see how much i have lost and i was insanely shocked , i got down to 98.I saw that i can do it and running every day isnt a problem anymore (they say if you do something for 20-30 days it becomes a habit)



So it was a bit into May and i wanted to reward myself for the hard work i have been doing so far so i went and bough runners shirt and shorts and that motivated me even more hell i felt like a pro runner (yeah right! hehe). I got so good that i ran 6k without a problem so i though what if i try to run to the next city and back (14.2km) i made it but very slowly and barely alive hehe , i believe my time was like 1h and 40min ^^.


So the weight been going down and down every week and i been running further and further , i even ran together with a professional runner and he gave me all the advice on how to run , breath and move your hands.


As far as i remember i ran every day in may so that was pretty hardcore for me and the results on the scale were amazing. After May i weighted 94kg-93kg.


So from the end of may until now i have been running a lot but with days off to rest my body so i dont burn out. I recently added weight lifting to my daily exercise as well just to speed things up because i noticed i am losing weight a lot slower now (sadly hehe).

So i am sitting here now with a smile on my face and very proud of myself that i lost so much weight and i know that i will NOT STOP RUNNING. There is no way in hell i am going back to 107.


I dont need a pillow anymore when i sit in front of my computer , when i wear a t-shirt i feel very comfortable and even without one .I enjoy people taking pictures of me now.Everything turned around for 180 degree and LIFE IS GOOD again and even a girl has eyes on me now. Honestly i thought id be fat for the rest of my life but i proven myself wrong and i am glad i did.



I hope you all enjoyed my long and boring story about my success and my apologize for my bad English.


Thank you for reading how it wasnt a waste of time to you and if it was sorry i sadly cant give you your few minutes of life back!

Congrats! I tried to get into running, I couldn't do it. My weight-control program was switching to a vegan diet and taking up ballroom dance, haha.

89kgs is 200lbs if anyone needed to convert (multiply by 2.2). That's impressive. You might want to add your goals to the TL Health and Fitness thread just as a success story if you haven't already.

Keep it up, too often people lose water fat for a week, and give in. You've made it past that!
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

1 - tuna with bread ( some protein to start you off)
2- apples , oranges (some fruit)
3- whatever they cook at home
4-a sandwich with cheese and some meat
5- and than maybe some fruit again-
6 most of the time it gets to late for me to have my last meal for the day so dont have it at all.

And i try and stay of candy completely also i try to drink more water than any other drinks with sugar.



Hope it helps ^^

Awesome story! That only proves even more the fact that If someone wants to lose weight you don't need to go on a diet or some crazy stuff. You just need to burn calories. Lots of calories. And the best way to do so is to exercise yourself!

Run Knap4life run!!! ^^

Well, not a diet, but watching what you eat.
My grandparents did that once, instead of cooking fat heavy stuff and eating alot of candy and alikes, they actually ate healthy food and cooked healthy and lost quite some pounds in the long run.
If you do sports but keep eating only fast food and candy, then you will probably still be on the same or barely lose any weight.

Good to hear this, I wished I could do it the other way around.. when I worked in the hospital and could eat there and then go home and get another meal there I've gained about 7-8kg over that time (from ~62kg to ~69kg), but as soon as I finished my work there I lost that weight ten times as fast as I gained it and barely any of it stayed and I am happy if I can stay above 65kg.

It took me many years to figure out that eating healthy AND doing cardio combined is the best way to lose weight.
