Alexey Orlov
Member "Trilayf" finished in the triathlon at the half (1.9 - 90 - 21), preparing for the next the same competition.
1. What was your maximum weight and when was it?
The maximum weight was 103 kg at a height of 180 cm. shirts Size - XXL (Now M). It was in February 2014. But at that time I weighed infrequently, so maybe in some moments it was and more.
The first few days, try to count calories as accurately as possible, it is important.
2. At what point did you decide that you need to change something?
Understanding what you need to change something, it was long ago, but it was difficult to decide and to seriously take up the case. There was no certainty that it will suffice
willpower. Besides, I have a couple of times trying to lose weight, but both times was broken halfway.The main impetus was the realization that I am in such a deplorable physical condition, it's just a shame: the stairs hard to climb in my something old. Besides growing up the daughter, and I want to show the right example.
Each morning, get up on the scales. Always. If you do not follow every day, immediately lost control and you relax. It is a proven thing.
3. Why did you start? How to lose weight? What helped you achieve your goal?
Then I just decided two things. The first - is to lose weight quickly. Despite the fact that most are not advised to do so, I knew I had a long and tedious weight loss may not be enough willpower. Plus, when you grow thin quickly, you see the results, and this is further motivation. And yet I decided not to follow any diet. Only one principle - to spend more than you consume.
In the active phase while slimming find a physical activity that, on the one hand, you are interested in, and on the other - high-intensity. It will help to maintain a negative balance of calories and speed up metabolism. It can be anything: tennis, trampolining, hockey, badminton - if only it was interesting. The only thing I advise careful initially to run. He provokes very beginners to the records, and immediately go injury, Especially considering the extra weight. Then, when throw off too much, running is a great option, but it is better to try something else.
Within a few days counting calories, then I understood about how much you can eat. I started going to a fitness club. Mostly in boxing and MMA. This high-intensity training with them just creep away - I like it. Running and Triathlon appeared later. In general, I created a rather large caloric deficit. As I understand it, the body makes reserves to survive the hard times, and that gave them to him.
And also I do one thing that I personally was very helpful: painted in Google calendar, weight loss plan. I figured so that I want to lose weight up to 80, that is, 23 kg, and every week wrote to the planned weight based on the fact that I will lose weight in an average of 1 kg per week. It turned out that the mark will be 80 at the start of July. And every week near the planned has entered the current weight. By July he was already 78 kg. Since then, and holds, plus or minus. But it is impossible to relax, we have to look after themselves.
4. What was the reaction of others to have occurred to change you?
Mark groaned and gasped that too. For some who have not seen me, his jaw dropped to the floor, and some of them I did not even recognize. The main thing is that the beloved wife happy with myself. It's damn good feeling - to know what it is you could. The same happened when I quit smoking after 12 years of service.
Besides scales, monitor progress with a tape. Rapidly declining volumes will further delight.
5. What has changed in your life after you lost weight?
In fact, much has changed. Along with losing weight completely changed my lifestyle. Previously, the main entertainment was drinking beer with a variety of snacks and watching soap operas. On something else just does not have the strength. Now I began to do a lot of different kinds of sports - a hundred times better feel.
It became much easier to work with. I used to after a day on the legs collapses, feet buzzing. Now, especially since both began to run, the work does not seem any serious stress. By the way, I stopped hurting back, had happened before.
Alcohol interferes with a very thin, even in small quantities. Just so.
And another important point. Previously often pursued this oppressive thought, well, grown fat as a pig, it is necessary to lose weight, I'll start tomorrow, the devil, again tomorrow and so on. Every time you look in the mirror, and the mood is spoiled. Now it's gone. As chip on my shoulder actually.
6. How much do you weigh now? What helps to keep fit?
The weight is now 78 kg. I want to throw up to 75, but there is already much harder going. Help maintain both the volume of training and moderation in eating. Without it now does.
Make a diet plan. Directly in the calendar shall describe: Now this week I weigh so much on this - so much. For example, you want to lose weight from 100 to 80 kg in five months. This is absolutely realistic result. It turns out to 4 kg per month, that is, roughly speaking, to 1 kg per week. Select any day, such as Monday, and enter in the calendar descending 100, 99, 98 and so on. It helps a lot.
7. What can you advise to those who are now in the beginning?
My advice is this. Do not expect to lose weight will be easy. Will not. It will be very want to eat. We must endure. It is humanly possible. Then he'll be proud of yourself.
The feeling of hunger can be alleviated. For example, I helped green teaI drank it for four months tank. You can find something else. Be consistent, and be sure to do it. And in an amicable way it is necessary to change the way of life, otherwise the result will not be long. But it's worth it.
Much nicer in the morning cheerfully to jump out of bed, crawl sluggishly than holding the patient's head. Eight months ago, I barely ran 200 meters and all out of breath, and overcame the first half marathon recently. I imagine this could not have imagined before.
