Hi there. I'm Chris/18 from Scotland. I am embarking on a weight loss/fitness campaign from tomorrow so I can lose weight and feel happy.
About 1 year ago I was 5ft 7 and weighed in at 11 stone 12 pounds at my lightest, I was happy back then. Looked nice, thin, felt healthy.
Then, I started smoking, became addicted and for some reason I just stopped exercising and eating good food.
1 year later, I stand at 5ft 11 and I weigh in at 15 stone and 11 pounds. (4 stone weight gain in a year).
I am planning to do the following to drastically reduce my weight :
1) Quit Smoking to improve breathing, making exercise less of a chore.
2) Eat A healthy breakfast (inc. 1 portion of fruit), a healthy lunch (inc. 2 portions fruit) and a healthy dinner (inc 2 portions of vegetables. All my meals adding up to no more than 1300 kcal per day.
3) I am going to purchase a bike tomorrow evening and attempt to do 1-2 hours of cycling Monday-Thursday, rest on Friday and Saturday and 2-3 hours on a Sunday
In doing this, I hope to lose 3-4 stone in under a year.
Do you think this is possible and do you have any tips to improve this? Or does it sound good.
P.S - I object to paying a gymnasium £35 a month just to get fit - I would rather purchase equipment or get fit manually (push ups etc).
Thanks
