djkizza Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi all,I joined early this year and like a lot of people, I dipped my toe into the waters of getting fit, then forgot all about it and reverted to being even unhealthier than I was before. I was given a promotion at the beginning of the year, what should have been an amazing change of life was super-stressful and affecting me a whole lot more than I realised. I have let myself slip into a life that I'm not comfortable with anymore. I recently went on a holiday and was so concerned with fitting into the economy seat next to my fiance that I had anxiety for 3 days. Enough is enough. I am here to take on a new lifestyle, gain a new mindset and take charge of my life and body. I am working my way through the mindset module and trying to make the healthy choices I need. I believe I'm in the right place to make this change and I have assembled a team of superheroes to motivate me and provide support. Motivators Assemble! I am currently 175 kilos (385 pounds) and this is my origin story. 1 Quote Link to comment
Noname123 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Welcome! Have you headed over to the challenge thread and explored a bit? Lots of people who are taking the journey with you now and lots of those who started where you are and changed- valuable people to find as they can not only encourage, but give you advice having been in similar situations! What are some of your goals you want to work towards? Quote Spaz Ranger BATTLE LOG You can have results or excuses. Not both Link to comment
djkizza Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 I've had a bit of a look at everything. It's a little overwhelming so I decided to focus on one thing at a time. I am going to convince my partner to do it with me and I'm getting my head around the mindset change. I will do one of the challenges and I am committing myself to talking to people and engaging with the right sort of people to keep me on track. (I had to self-edit this post multiple times to take out "I will try to do this and I plan to that". All, I will do and I am going to do from now on.) Overall goal wise, I want to lose weight, my first goal is to get to 149 kilos (328 pounds), then I can use my Wii Fit It's all downhill from here. I also want to be able to run, I have installed a treadmill desk at work and I'm planning to walk for at least 1 hour, 4 times a week for the next 2 weeks then increase it. I will eventually be able to go for runs at home as well. Quote Link to comment
