Hi y'all!!! I know I haven't been on for a long time now but it's been crazy months! My brother got married and I had to help lots! Then, I've been trying to sort out my final project in university and just basically sort out my head!
Anyway, I'm back and ready to keep losing weight! By the way, it is now 177,3 lb! I just can't believe it! I hadn't been like this since 2001!!! My plan is to drop 23 lb more!
Let's keep on doing the good work!!!!

My choice to work out
Yesterday I really wanted to work out before lunch. I did the stuff I was supposed to do but in the end, it was too late so I didn't have time. Later on, that thought about working out was still in my mind. I did other stuff in the afternoon and I got a text message from a friend saying we and this other friend should go out like at 9pm, it was like 6pm in that moment.
So, I thought "well, I got nothing to do for the next 3 hours, I'll excercise!" and I did it!!!! I did it!!! I did excercise on a Saturday!!!! I hardly do that!!! I had the chance to do the rutine on the spinning bike, I worked on my abs a little and went on the eliptical and I even had time for taking a shower and get ready before my friends came to pick me up!!! I was so happy!!! Not only because I was feeling great after excercising, but also because I felt that it was like a natural thing that made me want to work out! It was like my body was screaming for it!
Hopefully, this will keep happening every Saturday as I'm normally lazy on that day. Good vibes only! :)

200g less!
Yesterday I went to my weekly meeting and when it was time to check my weight, I was pretty excited as I thought I had at least dropped 1kg(2,2lb), but surprise! Only 200g(0,4lb). I was pretty shocked and dissapointed at the same time. The person who checks everyone's weight said that maybe it is just that I'm getting more muscle but I said "I don't want more muscle!". But she and someone else explained how important it is to have muscle.
I just kept thinking "what did I do wrong?!" I admit that on Saturday I had two desserts and I ate crips for three days in a row but I tried to compensate that with excercise and avoiding eating other stuff.
I must have eaten more than I thought I did or maybe I pretended everything was ok. I must think about this carefully so I don't make the same mistakes again.
Right now, I must focus on keep on going with my rutine. I'm over that as I understand this kind of stuff happens in the weightloss process.
I must keep the positive actitude!!!!

A little bit more about me
I'm 25 years old, my current weight is 83kg(182,6lb) and my height is 1,71m(5'6). My overweight problem started when I was 9 or 10 years old. Since then, I have been dealing with this and all the consequences and situations that come along with this problem.
My life in school wasn't easy at all. Kids and teenagers are mean and I was always bullied about my extra weight. I always had good friends so that helped me a little bit to deal with the insults. P.E. class was hell to me. I was normally last in everything and I was ashamed of showing my legs.
After that, insults didn't stop but at least they weren't as painful as they were in school.
At some point of my life(about 9 years ago), my weight was 94kg(206,8lb). My body was screaming for help, so I decided to start going to acupuncture(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acupuncture), they gave me an strict diet to follow and I used to work out 5 times a week. I did indeed drop weight(12kg = 26,4lb) in like three and a half months.
The problem came when it was Christmas and all the different types of food come! I just didn't know what to eat, so I ate everything that was in front of me! In January I couldn't be bothered to go back to acupuncture neither do some excercise, so I started to gain back all the weight I had already dropped.
After that, I went through other stupid methods like pills, excercise I don't like, extreme diets, etc.
Last year I understood that there are no magical recipes or anything like that. It's all about doing the excercise you like, eat well, drink water, effort, strength of spirit, get to know yourself(mentally and physically) a little bit more and most important, admit that you have a problem and you're willing to do some sacrifices.
I now keep that on my mind and just try my best everyday. I'm not perfect and I do make some mistakes, but now I don't consider using some stupid pills that aren't good for me and may damage my body.
I enjoy the excercise I do and the food I eat. It's about feeling good with yourself and make a change for the sake of your health!

What I do to lose weight
Well well well, I honestly don't do any secret recipe or follow any weird diets. All I do is eat well and excercise 6 times a week. By eating well, I mean I eat everything but I have a limit; of course, there are some things I avoid but it isn't like I starve or just eat lots of salad.
Also, in November, I joined this group where they help you with this battle. It isn't that type of places where they just give you a horrible diet and make you feel like crap if you didn't lose weight. Although, they do give you this little manual to help you out on what to eat and how many portions for the different meals.
What they do is, they focus more on WHY you are eating more than you are supposed to; what's going on on your head, what's wrong with you, etc. So each Wednesday, we work for 1.3h with a psychologist on different topics. For example, for the past weeks, we've been saying the truth! Yeah, the truth! That kind of stuff that you know it is true but you try to convince yourself that it isn't but somehow, it does bother you and slows down your losing weight process.
Let me tell you mine: I sometimes eat a litte bit more and say "yeah, I'll work out more tomorrow", but I never do! It's just that I don't want to follow my eating program! Or I keep saying a bunch of excuses to not work out during the weekend. "I have to do this, I have to do that", but let's face! I don't want to do it!
This group has made me so happy during the past months. Because I am able to share my story and learn from other people's stories, and I have noticed that every week I open up a little bit more with them and they understand me and give me good advice. Also, this is something I hadn't tried before and I feel like it is helping me heal those mental issues and personal experiences that had hurt me so bad in the past and may have some effect nowdays.
From all the stuff I've tried for losing weight, this is definitely the best one! I'm working on my fitness, eating well and working on being a better person in different ways! Best recipe ever!
If someone asks me what to do for losing weight, I'd definitely recommend this without hesitating! Just don't forget to consult your doctor first on what excercise to do and what exact food to eat just in case you have some health problems.
It's never too late to start losing weight! Please join the club!
