Hello.
Just to give you all a little background about me; i'm 22 years old, employed, in a stable relationship with one son (& another on the way) and live in my own home with my fiancee.
I'm overweight. "Clinically obese" according to bigwigs and various NHS, BBC and other websites which measure your BMI. 22 stone, 308lbs to be exact.
Now, it's never really been an issue for me, i dont really do that much exercise which is probably why its never been an issue, and i dont push myself hard for fear of being out of breathe but with a son, and another on the way i know i need to change my lifestyle NOW.
I've looked around the internet and spoke with other friends about how they keep track of their weight - but without them knowing im trying to lose weight, exercise more and eat less/better.
I've put together the following little plan, for a morning and throughout the day and i'd like to hear what people on here thought about it and also of any other tips or hints you may have.
Many thanks.
Wake up
Do a few exercises like sit ups, hip rolls, bridges, squats
Have breakfast within 15 minutes (metabolism?)
Walk to the next bus stop
Take the stairs at work, rather than the lift up four floors
Eat 5 meals a day (7:30, 10:30, 13:30, 16:30 & 19:30) consisting of no more than 300 calories per meal
Drink no carbonated drinks, and only water
Get off the bus home from work, one stop before mine & walk home
Repeat exercises from the morning
Jog/Shuttle runs for approximately half mile, then build up to a mile, 1.5 then two miles over time
Thanks for reading. & any help would be greatfully appreciated as its my first time of dieting...
Regards,
