Hello to you all!
This is Menelaos, 33 M, living in Athens (the original one in Greece), former aerobics instructor (yes, athletes can get large too). After a knee surgery I had to stop and change my lifestyle and career. I always liked food and eating out (well, I guess you all have tasted greek food), but being in the gym 8 hours a day made me not to worry about eating. So when I stopped I litterally exploded!!!
I went from 82 kilos (164 pounds) to 138 (276 pounds)!!! And that in just less than 6 months! eating disorder you say??? Just a disorder??? Naah...
I started dieting and chose Atkins because it was the diet I myself recommended to people who asked for my opinion as a trainer; massive fat lose and minimum muscle lose. Best thing for people who wanted to work out as well as loose weight.
This is my at 138 kilos
...and this is me now at 111 kilos (222 pounds)
I started dieting on 20th of December and I lost 54 pounds till now. Not gonna send you pics of how I used to look like, untill I'm ate the same weight again (you know, then and now thing). I also decided to return to the floor after almost 5 years of no- exercise, got my medics done, doc says go for it. I expect that exercising will help me loose weight even faster and have my hopes high of even returning as an instructor (was a damn good one). So glad that I find a forum that people can share their experiences and help others. So glad to be a part of it. Just to let you know, I never cared of how people look (if I did I'd never get big) and I do think that being large is OK even now that I'm loosing weight. I'm not loosing weight because of health issues, or out of vanity, I simply had a bet. See that "wonderfull" background I'm in??? It's my best friends place (has a terrible taste- don't ask) and we had a bet; he said I could never look as good as I used! And the only thing to make me going is a good challenge. I have a year and the stake is 100 euros. Will eat 'em all out!!!! Hahahhahahaa
Peace
