Sports for the Fatties

[Darth]

I went from 104kg-ish (229 pounds) and a BMI of about 31 at the start of the year to 78kg (171 pounds)-ish now, and have been 78kg for a couple of months now (just below 25 BMI, yah for being in the healthy range) but have been adding muscle so it's not like I've stagnated. First time since early teens that I'd be in the healthy range

I cut out all sugar, which really restricts your snacking as well.
Cut out nearly all carbs for a long while
Started running. Started at just 15 mins at 7km/h (4.35miles per hour), am now running 5km (3.1 miles) at 12.7km/h (7.9miles an hour)
Started exercising: bodyweight stuff initially, situps and pushups, but joined a gym a few months ago, wanna get buff, rwar.

The key is constantly pushing yourself to do a teensy bit better, that way you have more milestones to meet and feel like you're making progress with, not just the weight ones which can plateau for a while. I ran 15 mins on the treadmill yesterday? Then today it's 16 mins. 24 push ups yesterday? Today we're going for 25. Ran 5km at 9.9km/h yesterday? Then today it's 10km/h (yah a nice round number (a milestone))... that sort of thing
