Hey everyone! I have been relatively overweight my whole life and I'm ready to change that by developing a healthier lifestyle and losing weight. I am currently a 16-year-old male, 6'2 feet tall, and 261.9 pounds. I've tried to lose weight many times but haven't reached my goal because of a lack of commitment and an unrealistic calorie deficit. I began gaining weight very quickly recently because I stopped working out and ate a lot of snacks without keeping track of them. In the summer (August 2020) I weighed about 211 pounds at my lowest so obviously, I gained a lot of weight since then. But I'm ready to work hard!
My plan is this: 1800 calories a day (apparently my maintenance is 2,500 or more), work out with weight training 5 days a week with a run 5 days a week as well (rest on weekends). I plan on eating one form of protein each meal and a fruit/vegetable. I will count my calories in myfitnesspal as well. I will weigh myself once a week on monday morning and log it into myfitnesspal as well progress pictures. My plan is to lose 1 pound a week with this program and my goal weight is 185 pounds. I want to be comfortable with myself, be confident in how I look and be more healthy.
Does this plan sound good? I welcome any and all advice/tips! What do you guys think my current maintenance is?
Thanks for reading have a great day!
