TROFAST

Trying to lose weight.

Trying to study. 

All I do is sit by my desk working, followed by running around the house and cleaning/tidying/generally jumping around. 

I go for a walk every day, but it’s been snowing A LOT lately and than does no fun when it was beautiful spring weather only a few days ago. 

But at least me, my wife and my family are still healthy. So I can live with some isolation for a few weeks, months or even longer. 

HELLO 2020! How are you?

Let’s get straight to it. Health summary for 2019: Highest weight: 118kg (260lbs) Weight reached: 93kg (205lbs) Current weight: 94kg  (207lbs)

GOAL for 2020: 74kg (163lbs) 

Christmas time is coming! Hide your candy from me please. Trying to lose weight during Christmas time is...something. I suppose my main goal should be not gaining.

24.2 kg lost (42.5lbs)

166cm (5′5). Current weight: 93.8kg (206lbs) Highest weight: 118kg (260lbs) Bmi: 34

In regards to the issue in my last post (about going on blood pressure meds since I use ritalin). My Doctor agreed to give me two months to lose a lot of weight and see if my blood pressure gets better. 

I’m also going to do other things to get my blood pressure down, but weight is most important obviously. 

It did give me a good boost though, and I’m finally losing again. 

Hooray! 

Things have been rough the last few months. I used to be stressed because of money, now that the money situation is under control I am stressed because of my health. 

I have adhd and take ritalin, but now my blood pressure is getting a bit high and I have to sort that out by taking blood pressure medication. 

I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO! 

So do I go off my ritalin (which is a big cause of the blood pressure) or do I take the disgusting meds and keep being a productive member of society? 

I am proper scared of the medication. Side effects are weight gain, stroke and so on. And apparently if you go off them you can get a stroke just by doing that. And if I lose more weight and my blood pressure goes down naturally, do I then just DIE!?

I may be over thinking this, but that’s sort of what I do. 

I am tempted to go off Ritalin until I lose more weight and see if my blood pressure is better on the meds then. Might be a good way of motivating myself I suppose. 

Been doing some good hard hours at the gym lately. Which I am very proud of. At the same time I have this weird pain in my knee when I stretch it out. I think I might have overdone it, being overweight still. Going to give my knee a rest. It worries me, but also motivates me to keep going with the weightloss. I don’t want my knees to suffer more than they have already during my years as overweight.  If anyone have any tips on what to do about it, please give!

Been going to the gym almost every day for two weeks. Finally properly back at it. Feeling goood!

Hw: 116kg (255lbs)

Two months of «meh» and finally I’m back to the gym and my head is in a better place.

I knew losing weight wasn’t going to be easy. So actually getting back to it is a huge deal for me.

Last month has been such a bad time. Have not gained anything, but not really lost anything. We have no money, a person in my close family has cancer for the fourth time and my studies are going UGH. It’s really hard to stay motivated.

I didn’t expect this journey to be easy though. I kinda expected this period of weight stagnation to happen sooner, so there is that. 

I also have not returned to any binge habits or generally to any bad food habits, which is good. Going to try and reign myself in a bit now. Start up a proper gym routine again.

I am stressed over so many things,  but going to the gym will help with that, so I will go. And I’ll try to pump up the motivation again. 

At the gym. Looking like a.....I don’t even know. My body shape is so weird. 96.1 kg (211.8lbs).

It has change somewhat since 116kg (255lbs) but sometimes I have a hard time seeing it.

So I reached my goal for March (97kg/213.8) and a bit more. I am now 96.7(213.1) and really happy with that.  March was an ass though. I’ve been stressed and a bit depressed because of the living situation we are in right now. Have little money and have to use what we have getting the cheapest food we can, which is not always the healthiest. We also need rent money, obviously. My wife is looking for a job, so it will sort itself out eventually. Until then It’s stressfull.

I am also the worst student on this planet. But that’s a whole other story. Ugh... Goal for en of April is 94kg(207lbs), but I think I want to try to get even lower than that. I feeel it in my bones that I can do it. I can definitely do better than in March. I also want to get up earlier and be productive in the morning. Also need to buy all the cheap veggies and fruits i can get my hands on.

19,3 kg lost (42.5lbs)

166cm (5′4). Current weight: 96.7kg (213lbs) Highest weight: 116kg (255lbs) Bmi: 35.1

I thought I was behind for March, but nope. Hit my target weight for march and then some. Target weight was 97kg (213.8lbs) and now I’m 96.7 (213.1) and I still have 8-ish days left. 

My clothes are getting baggy, so motivating. Back to the gym!

17,6 kg lost (38,8lbs)

166cm (5′4). Current weight: 98.4kg (216.9lbs) Highest weight: 116kg (255lbs) Bmi: 35.7

I’ve done well, but pms is killing me. I want to eat everything.  I also want to be lazy and do nothing, which again makes me feel awful and stressed because going to the gym is a habit now (I also have school work).
