Smart Weight Loss Management

From the 1st of March when I started following a strict weight management lifestyle, I have gone from a fatty and heavyweight 17 stone (108 killograms) to what I believe is a healthy 14 stone (about 88 killograms) now. All this was achieved through hard and smart work at the gym and being selective and very careful about what I eat.

I have never felt this good for years!

In the beginning, the Treadmill was my best friend at the gym. I was not good at running then, but now I’m very good at it. I would do circuit training with light weights and less resting time between sets. And I remember in my first month I managed to reduce my body weight by a massive 6 killograms.

My Gym Plan – These days  my gym plan has changed, my focus is now more on training with heavy weights to build more body strength and muscle, compared to the early days when my focus was more on burning body fat. That’s why I was doing more of running in the early days.

Weight Management

Healthy Diet – As for my diet, a lot of things have changed. No more junk food, but sometimes I spoil myself with some things I really really like but only once in a week.

But there is NO more ‘binge drinking’ as I think this was one of the main cause of all those fatty bits on my body (some call them love handles). No more Big Mac (sorry McDonalds) with extra packet of fries and ice cream, no more coke and other fizzy drinks. Green tea and plenty of water is what I drink regularly now.

Portion Sizes – I also had to reduce the  portion sizes of my meals. This is one of the most important things if you are to achieve your weight loss goals. The trick is eating about five to six small meals in a day. If you know the right food to eat, then you will not have problems in managing your diet.

Love Yourself – So, are you following any weight management programme? How are you getting on? Feel free to share your views and advise.  And remember love yourself and follow what works for your.

    @Gerri, thanks for your contribution….I love the new me and I'm going to keep it that way.

    It's hard work, but I made a 'real' decision to change my body weight and I'm glad I managed to do that.
