Hi Fellas,
I am new to this site but was hoping I could grab some advice from other guys in or have been in a simialr situation. I am 32 years old, I weigh 104kgs and I am 178cms tall. I have a large frame so to start with I would like to get down to 94-95 kgs. This is not where I plan to stop I just know that it was here that I was most comfortable and fealt a hell of a lot healthier. I have two small kids and both my wife and myself work full time which makes excercise difficult as we are quite time poor.
I have slowly put on weight over the last couple of years and the heavier I get the harder running is becoming. I caryy most of my weight in my core which does not help because whenever I go for a run I have lower back pain for days after. I know that my weight gain is the reason I feel so sore from just a run. I still play footy which helps but I have done this for so long now my body seems to be used to this and has not really helped me lose any weight. I have done things to lose 2 or 3kgs here and there but I really want to take my time this time and keep weight off. I dont really have a goal date i want to get this done by as I want to change my entire body and I know this works better if I change the way I think, eat and excercise.
In eating I think that quantity is and has always been my major issue, I nearly always go back for seconds at dinner time, have been times I feel to full from dinner which I know is deffinately wrong. This I think is an easy fix, I need to eat slower to start with and eat til im satisfied not full. I am trying this now and I have noticed that I will get benefits from it. I suffer from reflux and I have really only had this since I hit a weight above 99-100Kgs and stayed there. I use medication for this but would like to work at not needing this as much or at all if i can, doc says this is possible but I have always had some form of reflux even before I was heavy just got worse as I got heavier.
What I would like is any tips and advice on how to get to where I want to be that you guys can help me with.
Thanks to all in advance for your time.
Cheers
