Hi there!
My name is Yaniv Corem, I'm 34 years old and work as a research staff member at IBM Research in Haifa, Israel. I'm happily married to Gila, a graduate student at the Technion, and father to Yotam, the brightest, most adorable two year old in the world.
This is me, two year ago, at one of many gas stations on the way to San Francisco during a coast-to-coast roadtrip with my wife. The year was 2010 and I was finishing up my graduate degree at MIT. I spent three (wonderful!) years at MIT during which I've gained some valuable knowledge and experience...but also a few pounds. In this picture, I'm 33 years old and weigh 93 kilograms (205 lbs)..mostly showing in my face and belly. With a height of 188 centimeters (6'1''), my BMI was 26.3. I was overweight.
Fast forward to 2012. Here's what I look like today. I've lost about 18 kilograms (40 lbs), my BMI is 21.2, and I have 13% body fat. I think this picture says it all...
I started this blog so I can share my story of how and why I lost weight in the hope of motivating (and maybe even inspiring) people to do the same...hi, if I did it then anyone can. I'll do my best to share some of the knowledge, tips, and advice that helped me along the way. I want to be absolutely clear - I AM NOT a nutrition expert, personal trainer or expert on weight loss. If you're serious about loosing weight and becoming healthier, I suggest you start doing your homework...maybe even consult a professional. The (right kind of) knowledge you gain, will go a long way!
