Kill the stress and fat before they kill you

Hi I'm Leszek.

I would like to share with you my experiences in weight loss, increase vitality, improve motivation and humor in everyday life by increasing activity.

Some history

Last year, before I started to train running I weighed more than 100 kg (more than 220 pounds). My BMI index was 29 – that means I was overweight. Additionally I was overloaded at work and I was destroyed by stress. I thought how to lose weight and change my life.

I made decision that I want to help to myself.
Fortunately my colleagues from the office asked me to take a part in some running competition (between companies). I agreed… and It was the beginning.

The decision is one thing, while the second is to start training and self-motivation.
Believe me, it was not easy but the support of friends and desire to change my habits an appearance and mood too, meant that I started and work consequently.

Now I would like to share my progress in runnin and lose weight, with all those who also want to change.
I’m not a professional so each step in the pursuit of the goal is real experience from which everyone could benefit.

Today I am 86kg (189.6 lbs) and feel very well. I think I became addicted to activity on a fresh air.
Later on I will put some pictures like "before and after".

Wow well done you not only for the weight loss but getting active.

I love the gym. I started running and I enjoyed it but my chest caves and it soon turns from enjoyment to frustration because I couldn't go further ... I now have a road bike but recently due to a challenge also I have taken up walking and although the time it's taking up isn't really what I need right now (there are forfeits in this challenge so I'm allowing it lol) I am actually enjoying it enough that although I won't do as much when it ends I think it will get me outdoors.

I noticed due to the number of posts you have your picture was put to moderation. Would you like me to add it here on your original post?

I'm sorry that you're feeling so down right now. I can remember feeling the same way when I was your age and I know how much it hurts. I wanted to be like the skinny girls at high school more than anything else in the world but it wasn't going to be. I had a body shape and frame that just wouldn't cooperate.

My mum taught me to focus on being healthy and this is what I've taught my children. If you have a healthy lifestyle the rest will fall into place, as much as is possible.

You're very young, so it might pay to learn a bit more about what "healthy eating" really means. The best person to talk to about this is your GP. At some stage you could think about asking mum to come and talk with the doctor too, given she likely buys the food and does most of the cooking.

I really liked Jack's idea about joining a gym. If that's too daunting maybe your parents would be willing to buy you a treadmill. I did this for my daughter and we put it in the garage, so she can exercise safely at night (she likes to jog and I didn't want her running around the neighborhood in the dark). We later added a punching bag.

Exercise is a great building block for a healthy lifestyle. So is drinking plenty of water and getting adequate sleep.

Focus on your health and there will be many benefits to your life.
