Hey guys, I know this is a bit late, and I was going to type it up last night but I really couldn't be bothered.
Anyway, I've decided to break down my weight loss into a few separately tiered goals.
1/ Fitness- I must be fit enough to run at least half a marathon.
- That means lots of cardio, every day if I can. I'm allowed one rest day a week (I'm thinking it will be on Sunday). Otherwise I am running a minimum of 4km a day, and 8km if I am not working and I have the time. The runs at first are split up to 3km in the morning/5 in the evening, but I am hoping to reverse that when my fitness improves, and then I will extend those runs so I am doing around 10-12km x6 days a week.
2/ Diet- No more fast food.
- That means McDonalds, Subway (Greater than a 6 inch sub), Burger King (Or Hungry Jacks as it's known in the god tier state), KFC (not that I like it anyway).. or any other sort of fast food. Where possible I will stick to simple foods and water. However, I am known to relapse especially in the dieting section, so I have given myself some leeway. For instance, I am still able to go out to dinner with friends once a fortnight to a K-BBQ or something like that, and I am allowed a non-water beverage twice a day, but I must only drink water before and after exercise. Also, this means no huge amounts of alcohol. Which is okay, because I need to save that money anyway!
3/ Gym can be integrated later, but it still must be done.
4/ Document Everything.
- I am known to relapse on these kinds of things, simply because I don't have the motivation to continue them by myself. However, I feel as though I would be letting a lot of people down if I didn't complete it this time. I am to arrogant and egotistical to let people think I am a failure at anything I attempt, so therefore if people know I am attempting a fitness goal, I will be less likely to fail it.. because people know that I am attempting it.
5/ Complete 170km by March 31st.
I put up a status on my facebook that said anyone who liked/commented on the status I would run 1km for (later said I would double my km for the first 24 hours).... I got the equivalent of around 170km to run.
The good news is that as of writing this I've successfully completed 12km. (I ran 8 yesterday, and 4 today).. so hopefully I am on the right track to complete my 5 tiered goals!
Also, good luck and have fun to everyone else attempting this or similar! We will do this
행운을 빕니다!

Subway is good for you if you get the right subs and put the right salad in. But the problem most people have with Subway is that they think it is ALL good.. News flash.. a Meatball Sub/Pizza Sub/ BLT isn't great for you, it's processed meats in a sandwhich. If you're going to get a ft. long, you may as well split it into two 6 inch subs, and that way your portion size is halved anyway, which is better for you in the long run (imo). Compared to other fast food, it's a better choice.. but still it doesn't beat a Chicken and Garden Salad or a turkey/brown rice/ vegetable combo.
Ty Ty guys. I'll at least be very fit at the end of this.. or dead.

great job man, hope it all goes well. You should revise your drinking goals though. How about, only 1 non water drink per day, and it must be a diet drink, diet coke ect. they are alot more healthy for you, and soft drink actually acounts for a lot more calories then people think. good luck
It will eventually be 1 man. And my non-water drink isn't soft drink, it's usually a powerade or something. And Diet isn't a lot healthier for you aha. Anyway, will update with day 2 in a second.
