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.
