I used to be 185 cm and 100 kg at the end of 2010. Now I'm 188 cm and 89 kg. just turned 18 only a month and a half ago too.
I used to be addicted the soft drink and would have a can or even two after school each day. It was insane. Eventually it just clicked with me they I weighed too much and it was time to cut and junk and soft drink and I haven't looked back since. Also addicted to Red Rooster and their chips. I Could go through a family chips all by myself relatively comfortably.
The first year I lost the weight but I lost it too fast and ended up putting about half of what I lost back on again. I re-defined my approach and decided to eat a bit more every day and I haven't looked back since the stsrt of this year. I'm at my best physical condition I've been in and I intend of going down to about 85 kg, hopefully by Christmas is my goal.
I do cardio on the bike and do the occasional running and do light weights. As soon as I get a job however I'm getting s gym membership. Usually i ride the bike 15km a day, with a break at 7km for 30 minutes then ride the next 8km, 3-4 days a week.
To put it in perspective, when I first started my diet and fitness plan 18 months ago I used to ride the stationary bike at home for 3.7 km, 4 times a day at about 3-4 days a week. So I was riding 15 km a day pretty much. At the end of each 3.7 km ride I was buggered and sweating profusely. Yesterday (about 6 hours go to be precise) I just rode 15 km without stopping for the first time ever, riding st sbout half difficulty and an RPM of 110 or 29 km an hour is what i stuck to. Satisfaction I got out of it was amazing.
My diet also changed big time too. Out with the fast food 2-3 times a week and in with the fruit and a lot of organic studf. I especially encourage people to lose weight to eat cherries. They are a wonder food seriously. I also used to have feet problems, most namely flat feet and tendinitis (inflammation of tendons in my feet and knee) that no doctor could fix up for me and we went to Westmead"'s children's hospital and all that stuff but the simple solution I found was just in my diet.
Eat 1 can of salmon a day and my flat feet pains went away within 6 months, my tendinitis is now gone as well as my asthma is nearly all gone and my skin looks way better. Cherries assisted this too. My dad suffers from gout and I always tell him to have a serving of salmon a day and 15 cherries a day. He kept it up for a month and was finding small gains in progress but he's a junk food maniac...
It's even getting to the stage that whenever I want to eat a few potato chips or a glass of coke, my stomach feels sore and I get pain or I have a feeling of sickness. This cant be a bad thing as it kills any urges i get, but if anyone reads this and knows why it could be, feedback would be appreciated.
I also used to get sick all the time, and I don't think it's a coincidence that once I started having 2 glasses of organic orange juice a day I never get sick anymore. That stuff is legit a wonder drink and it worked wonders with me.
Also recommend organic peanut butter. Tastes soo good and has a bit of protein and healthy fats. Also reccomend a brand of cereal called "Carmen's" manages to taste so bloody good without having any additives whatsoever. They also sell muesli bars And they have a couple of additives but they're nice too
I still manage to lose weight and maintain a healthy body even though I go out most weekends and drink not massive amounts, but enough to have a good time if you know what I mean lol..
