My fitness story:
It all started November 2011. My father asked me to try a meal replacement shake wherein if you took it 3x a day along with only fruits and vegetables and moderate exercise 3x a week, you would lose up to 10lbs a week. I gave it a shot and lost 6lbs after a week. It wasn't easy because I didn't eat a lot of vegetables but maybe the challenge itself made me eat vegetables. I taught myself to eat them and after that week, I didn't know it but that was the start of my fitness journey. I continued it, incorporating a little meat on my diet and some bread, etc but I gave up on rice. After a month, I've lost a total of 20lbs. By the way I started this with my weight at 200lbs. After that, I hit a plateau because I started eating chocolates and sweets again but i still worked out. Then by August. I realized that I was gaining weight/fat again and started the all meal replacement shakes program again. Then, I came across fitfam on twitter and learned that right diet and exercise is the key. November of 2012 I enrolled in a gym and hired a personal trainer to train me and help me lose weight. I started training with a weight of 170lbs. I did Viper exercises, weight training and ate healthy, and lost another 20lbs. Then I slipped up on my diet and sometimes ate unhealthy (holidays, birthdays, outings were my weakness). Now my weight plays between 150-155lbs. My goal weight is 130 lbs. I know I shouldn't rely on the scale too much but I can't help it. I'm trying to change my mindset about that, by the way. :) my other goals are to have a toned stomach and just be healthy and get used to making healthy eating choices. :)
