Hi there. I was once in your position too. I know it can be hard but don't give up. And if possible, set a goal beyond your present one. Because my main mistake during my first weight loss program was that I set a goal that was too easily achievable such as 'Reduce waist size to size 32"" (I was size 41)' and the moment I achieved my goal, I had ZERO motivation to continue living that healthy lifestyle and bloated back to size 37''.

I learnt my lesson by developing short term and long term goals. For example, my short term goals were to reduce to size 31'' and my medium term goals were to run in a 10 km run by the end of 2010 and long term goals were to run a full marathon. So far so good, I've improved my pace and endurance, cut my weight and am working my way back to lifting as I did before.

But of course, it depends on what your goals are. Hope you don't make the same mistake I did.

What happened to Likimikuku?

Just like to note that if you're overtraining, it's possible that your blood pressure is up. Look at your schedule for yourself and listen to your body. Of course you'll need to work your body but overwork it and you'll do yourself more harm than good. Especially with a medical condition like yours. I'm no expert but I'd advice you ask the sifus at the BB corner and tell them before you make any tweaks to your schedule since one of the members is actually a doctor.
