Hey my name is Serdar, 36 years old, İ've been here previously on other accounts during 2014-2015 had a great run back than got from 155+kg's to 94's with great discipline, support from my friends and this community. Kept it around like 2-3 years until mid 2017 where i had a muscle torn on my left upper leg. Not being able to do sports lost my discipline on food as well and gained back a lot of weight back than which made my left leg injury worse hitting my left knee with all the extra weight and entered a bad cycle which i kept gaining weight and my left leg keep getting worse.
Had been trying to lose weight again and done some tries, but failed on those due to sometimes emotional, sometimes physiological setbacks. Now im further back than where i started around 175kg+ with a nasty shoulder pain probably due to some tendon damage and some nerve damage on my left arm from my left elbow to my fingers. İ know what i am supposed to do what i am supposed to eat how to start exercising and open up my clogged gears and muscles.
Was supposed to start last week made a huge social media shout out and all, but saw my self failing from like 3rd day losing to my cravings, losing my discipline, so here i am planning to mark this day 21.09.2022 one month before my birthday as a fresh start and a new page for the 2nd term of my life and looking for an accountability buddy and what better place to look for other than hive where people keep supporting you.
Had been commuting to work via taxi usually last few years. Going to start walking 20 mins to metro station and walk another 5 from station to office and gonna try to do some 10-15 mins walks between workhours twice a day.( we have a nice campus with decent greenery)
Planning to start with foundation light and maybe some light cardio 20-30 min low tempo walks or maybe some horizontal bike action due to my back pain. And ofcourse try to fix my diet. Give up ordering and try to do some self cooking at home.
İt's nice to be back again ^^

20 min walk around the campus. Done the morning session
Found out that i need to strengthen my core
Had a backpain after like 10-12 minutes probably due to my weight but completed up to 20 minutes.
Any Advices on strengthening the core without elbow or arm planks ?
Done Arms of steel chair edition day-1
Looked out some programs and decided to go with Vitality as a starter instead of foundation light since there are no ground exercises
Lunch
Cup of Green bean soup,
some meat( around 100gr's) cooked with garniture (carrots potatoes bell peppers)
rice around 100 gr cooked with trace amounts of olive oil
And yoghurt 100-150 gr's

Dinner
around 100 gr boiled vegetables( brocoli, cauliflower, carrots, brussel sprouts)
200 gr's of grilled chicked
around 100gr rice cooked with trace amounts of olive oil
and Ayran( a drink made out of yoghurt)

Hi Serdar,

This path is not easy, not straight and with a lot of obstacles but we are here together.

I followed Pilates classes for 3 years (quite a long time ago) and the exercises helped me to straighten my core. But at some point, planks and sit-ups are good.
Try to tight all your inner muscles towards your spinal cords (as you would like to crush a nut) while you inhale, and relax when you exhale, then do this while walking and swimming and whatever... it is baby steps, but it might be a good start.

Gonna start working out with him and have my meals planned by him starting october 1st so think ill do vitality until then

Breakfast
Took the lazy way out and had a sandwich at work cafeteria had some sort of Cheddar with spicy sausage with tea ( i know its bad )

İt was rainy today so had to take the public transport all the way from home to work (Bus + subway) so no walking during commute today
İt is still raining so couldnt do my workhours walkout yet

Lunch
Had some sort of noodle soup which i cannot translate right now
With 120-150 gr of meatballs and some beans as side dish
there was a desert which i like very much and i managed to skip it ^^ that's a big success
total calorie count is 870 kcal

Arms of steel Chair Edition day 2 completed
Caught a window of opportunity to walk around for 15-20 mins around the campus

Workout Streak: 2 Days
Dinner
Meatballs with side boiled vegetables
a cup of rice

That sandwich doesn't sound bad to me. Don't think of any food as bad. There are merely some that you should eat less often. Denying yourself just make you want things more - no fun. And don't forget to eat the right number of calories - too low is almost as bad as too high.

not counting calories yet just shared the info cause its out there on the menu.
When i started last year with the same guy i had started around with like 3800-3900 and was going lower as i was losing weight mostly from pure fat while trying to keep my muscle mass with weight training in the gym. Had a cheat meal each week even some alcohol
So taking low calories shouldnt be a problem most likely both me and the dude knows the risks and dangers of low calories
İt was going pretty smooth which failed when i had a nasty covid case that left some spots in my lungs and i sort of gave up the routine.

İt was weigh-in day this morning wanted to make a different entry from the meal log
174,6 kg :LOL: 0,7 kg's lost past week
BMİ 52,1 down from 52,3
Body Fat Ratio %46,5 down from 46,7
Body Fat mass 81.2 kg down from 81.8
Body muscle mass 88.7 kg unchanged guess the turkey is working ^^
Small but firm steps on my journey especially happy about most of weigh loss coming from direct fat loss at least according to my scale at home numbers may not be %100 percent true tho

weigh in day
last week was unchanged at 174,6
173,4 kg down from 174.6
BMİ 51,8
down from 52,1
Body Fat Ratio %46,4 down from 46,5
Body Fat mass 80.4 kg down from 81.2
Body muscle mass 88,2 down from 88.7 kg.
İ dont remember which spot i put my scale last time it changes weight depending on the square i put it on i weighed 174,5 on a different spot but i do remember that this(173,4) spot was the one i had my first weigh in at 176+ so guess im seeing progress no matter how small
Had been struggling with waking up past few days, been hitting the snooze button for the past 2-3 days. yesterday and tuesday was a disaster. İ didnt even cook for the day on thursday and had to do a cheat meal as mentioned above ^^ .
i know it's about self discipline but seeing results really helps.
Maybe i should stop depending on my cheat meals as much as possible to see better results.

By the way, totally unexpected bonus my skin is much more healthier. i guess zucchini and other greens really helps maybe its the vitamin supplements not sure but it feels good. i have chronic rosacea had been using skin products/ antibiotics for like past 5-6 years and whenever i stop taking them my skin would go back to how it is slowly. but its been smooth without any antibiotics so its great ^^
