96.6kg (212.5 lb)

Saturdays carbohydrate overload seems to be kicking in, gained 1,7kg. It's just fluid but it's still not nice.

People often ask me what I eat, and when I tell them, refuse to believe that anybody could survive without potatoes, pasta, rice or bread. Here's everything I ate yesterday:

Breakfast, oatmeal porridge
- 35g of oatmeal
- 3 (small) teaspoonsfuls of sugar
- spoonful of margarine

Snack #1, A banana

Lunch, tuna "salad"
- a can of tuna (in vegetable oil)
- two tomatoes
- 5cm of cucumber (didn't have more, usually 10-15cm)
- some mustard for dressing

Snack #2, 200g can of viili (turns out there isn't a proper english word for this, you live and learn, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viili)

Supper
- two sausages, 100g each
- mustard
- picled beets

Snack #3, two apples

All this amounts to about 1500kcal.

Exercise:
Walked 6km (3.7 miles), 51min 20s

94.9kg (209 lb)

Yesterday's stats:
Calorie intake: ca. 1750kcal (not from very good sources, had to participate in social coffee drinking and cookie eating)
Number of meals: 5
Exercise: power walking, 6km (3.7 miles)

Today happens to be the bimonthly "eat what you want"-day and also the weekly rest day, so no exercise. I'm gonna be really twitchy and high on sugar tonight.

2002, 160-165kg (350 - 360 lb):

Now, 95.5kg (210 lb):

Introduction

I used to be fat, really fat, a bit over 176kg (388 lb) with a BMI of 53.9. I was probably the fattest man in the whole damn town, at least I was in the Top 3 (it's a small town, but nevertheless). Now, after 3 years, I'm less fat, 95.5kg (210 lb). I'll post some photos later for your viewing pleasure.

I lost the weight the boring way, by eating less and exercising (more on that some other time) and somewhere along the way my brain flipped a switch from "physical exercise is as close as it gets to hell on earth and should be avoided by all cost" to "I'm sweaty and winded, and I think I like it". Now I want to see how fit I can get.

I don't have any clear goals in mind, atleast not yet, I don't necessarily want to become a triathlete or run a marathon. What I wan't to do are the things I've never been able to, run, climb (even the feared rope, though I believe it to be physically impossible for everyone) and do pull-ups and push-ups (preferably more than one) and other bodyweight exercises. In the near future, I will also join a gym.

But as for now, I still have some weight to lose until I reach my first goal, 88kg (194 lb) and will be half the man I used to be.
