Hello

[Tash]

Hi all.

I am a boy from 19 years old from Belgium. I want and need to lose weight. I have now a weight from 104 kg. I started recentelijk to work out. I also gain the mail and this helps me to re-work everything and make my workout better.

Why I need to lose weight

1. I want to look better.

2. I have a problem with my liver. Docters say that the best solution now is to lose weight. Also, I am a transgender. I need to lose the liverproblems if I ever need to take hormones.

3. I want to feel healthier and be a bit stronger.

4. After my transformation I still want to look beautiful.

Think that that's it.

Hi Tash, great to have you here!

 

That seems to be some good motivation

 

Have you given any thought of how to get there? What you want to eat, how/how much you want to exercise etc

As a diet I do the Paleodiet as much as possible. I don't eat any cheese, butter, milk or grains.

Planning to do also some cardio. There is a 5km challenge here in Belgium which works for a lot of people.

The food you eat seem great (I don´t like calling Paleo a diet, since that implies you are doing a temporary thing or are restraining yourself from something).

 

Looking at your workout, I have a thought: It´s important to train your whole body, and not just one part. You are training your core with the plank, your chest and arms with the pushups, and (part of) your legs with the squat challenge. I however recommend that you follow a program than encompasses the whole body, and every major muscle group. For instance, you don´t workout your back with any of the above mentioned exercises. But perhaps you already do this apart from these challenges?

 

Steve´s blog offer some great programs.

Hmm, I feel that I train my back with the plank. More that my arms. I'm also thinking about sit ups, I realy should train that part. Problem is that I'm born with a handicap and have problems with my balance so I can not do very much

Well, your back gets some training in the plank, but it´s not the primary muscle groups that´s used. I would definitely add dumbbell rows or another back exercise if you have the ability to do these. If you want more tips, post a thread in the other part of the forum and I´m sure more informed people than me can help you
