Hello,
It's kind of funny how I wanted to write a post here so i could get help and suggestions and now I've been sitting here for about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to start this lol.
Probably should start with some basic information I'm 25 currently and I weigh around 115kg and have a bad back due to a fall in 2013 and naturally the weight also wouldn't be helping my back. I generally have discs shift out of place around the T5 section so middle of my back, I generally have a disc in my neck move out of place and generally either twice my hip bone or a disc in my lower back comes out of place so every month I'm at the chiropractor to have it put back in place and then most the pain goes away. I can exercise I just cant do things like sit-ups or crunches etc so no bending my back in that way and no like dead lifts though i can do squats with light weight.
I've always found exercise hard, daunting and frankly it hurts. I've been trying to loose weight my own way for well honestly the majority of my life and its clearly not working. I tried seeing a weight loss clinic which proceed with telling me what to eat and when and i was eating around 10 meals a day and constantly drinking and well I felt the worse I've ever felt and it was like i was stuffed and bloated all the time... Tried this for 2 months and nothing seemed to be happening besides me feeling quiet ill so i left.
I changed my diet and it seems rather good to me, i generally have 1-2 bottles of water a day 500ml generally. I have maybe 1 glass of soda stream a day which was changed from regular softdrinks. Ive stopped drinking juice, I rarely have a hot chocolate and I don't drink coffee often. Food wise I pretty much toast or cereal in the morning, cereal is normally nutrigrain, milo or cheerios. Lunch is generally a cold meat sandwich or a cold meat with salad sandwich and dinner normally always has a salad or veggies with it. I'm also taking the Healthy Care Ultra Strength Garcinia Combogia pills, Healthy Care Green Coffee Bean pills and 2 table spoons of Apple Cider Vinegar in water 30 min before dinner to help boost my metabolism and well reduce fat intake. Take-away foods is maybe once a month if myself and my partner have had a long day and really cant be bothered cooking or cleaning.
Currently routine with exercise is..
30 min DDR so a dance game I have for fun
45min walk with my partner and my brothers dog Digger
Jumping rope x100
10 squats
Abtronic 3 times a day on a low setting mostly to massage and move my muscles figure it feels good and hell if it does something good then cool.
Just ordered a waist belt to wear as i do the above to heighten my core temperature apparently it helps.
I'm also unemployed currently and money is pretty tight.
Equipment I do own are...
Treadmill which is used if i cant go on my 45 min walk due to rain or heat.
Ankle and Wrist weights
A weighted 2kg ball
Skipping Rope
My living environment makes things hard with support. My partner is great and we have a little room out the back of my mothers place which gives us privacy but things like the kitchen, bathroom, laundry etc are shared so daily when you enter the house you can smell the take out my brother has just bought, the fridge is full of softdrink which we don't drink as its not ours but the point is there's alot of temptation.. Exercise is limited to my room generally unless people actually have gone out and i can use the backyard feeling without being teased by family. My family are pretty negative and blunt and will put you down without knowing there doing it, even when you point it out its basically taken as well I'm just telling the truth kind of thing. Tough love i suppose.
I have the want and desire to lose weight, I have a goal, smaller goals and a time frame. I even have a vision board of what i want to remind me everyday. Tried Hypnosis too for weightloss and self motivation so kind of not sure what to do now besides what i'm already doing which is why I joined nerd fitness it seems difference and being a frequent player of WoW the quest idea kind of hooked me in lol.
Well I think Ive ranted enough and hopefully someone might have a suggestion, advice, exercise routine that can help or something I'm not thinking of.
Thank you
