Hi all..
I am Nathan, i am 21 in a month and six foot four inches in height. I now weigh around two hundred and fourty pounds which is about 40 pounds over the average weight for my height and have come to the realisation that i need to lose quite a lot of weight.
While my weight has just about steadied in the past year, the past three years have seen a strark change in my weight as a result of beggining my employment and with money, choosing to uses buses and taxis for even short journeys as opposed to walking which has led to me gaining an average of thirty pounds each year over a period of three years, meaning that despite my height, i now am well overweight.
My aim is to lose seventy pounds over this calender year through a riggorass exercise regime which will allow me to reach my target of just fifteen percent body fat.
To achieve this aim i will need to lose six pounds per month, which i feel is a realistic target provided that i have the will power to keep to a healthy eating and fitness plan which will involve going to the gym for at least an hour, at least four days each week.
Starting weight 1st January: 240lb
Short term aim: Weigh under 225lb at my 1st March weigh-in.
Medium Term Goal: Consistently achieve at least a 6lb weight loss each month.
Long term goal: Weigh under 160lb at my 1st December weigh-in.
Thankyou for any comments!
