Losing weight has been one of my dreams since Junior High School. I have never managed to do this because lack of self-control. There are temptations everywhere: sweets, soda drinks and fast foods.

Now I have decided to take this challenge seriously: It's not only losing weight, but changing my everyday habits. I don't wish to lose weight, because I would feel bad about the way I look, but I do this merely for my myself: To live longer and to have better health. 

For now I have been jogging and going GYM couple of times. Jogging seems to be the right sport to me: I like doing long runs, get some fresh air and sort out my thoughts. Now that the weather is getting colder, I will be using my exercise bicycle.

I have started to feel my physical endurance going in better direction. I haven't lost any weight yet, but that doesn't matter that much. I like being able to run some distances now without running out of breath and it does help me to catch my bus to school. I can also do more physically demanding sports with my friends now.

After a year since the start of the project, I've lost 15 kilograms. During summer I biked to my workplace almost every day, which means I got up to 100km of biking each week. In addition I did tons of physical work in the garden and I've also started to eat in a much more healthy manner. As results I've lost a lot of weight and nowadays I feel absolutely great. My body looks better and I can do so much more without running out of breath. I also like my body much more and thus gotten a better self-esteem and a boost in confident.
