heh actually the thing is, on normal days before i start my exercising routine, i just eat normally without restrictions one, but i will be at a weight of about 45.5kg and it wont move. i've always got the tummy but only lately i wanted to work on it. so i started exercising and all. but at the same time, ive been like constantly putting on weight these 2 weeks. therefore im worried. now im 47.3kg, 162cm tall. could it be the Jacob's High Fibre biscuit i've been eating?

Ah...the picture is now clearer. I had a suspicion that you were a in the normal weight range.

It's not fat that you're putting on but you're building muscles. BMI is used as a rough indicator whether you're in your normal weight range or not, provided that you're not a fitness freak or an athlete. You're bit beyond the lower end of the normal weight range which is 18.5. You're 18.1.

From what i understand from the fitness folks here, to get a smaller stomach, is to build some muscles through cardio and situps. Also, start holding your tummy in - that will build up the muscle and not let the flabby muscle show u having a tummy.

You might also want to take in some green leafy vegetables. They don't add up a lot of calories, provided that you avoid the starchy veggies. You'll need the nutrients in there to keep your body going and healthy. They would also fill up your stomach so that u don't get hunger pangs.

Not u lah clarkfann. U already have PT so I'm sure they can keep an eye on you. That post was for Shenay.

i lost almost 5 kg after going to ns for 1 and a half month..

anybody has any recommendation about daily diet to maintain??
coz i lost weight during summer.. so i need to maintain and aiming to lose another 5kg.

its winter overhere.. i need something that i can eat but not gaining weight..

is dark choc good choice??

i gain like 10 kg for the first month in camp.. lolx 6 meals a day, luckily i shred off during near end of the program.

Myremi, what's the example of starchy vegetable.

fantegero : Don't you dare touch dark chocolate if you're losing weight. The problem with winter is that it's hard to sweat or people slack at their exercise.

Dark chocolate has sugar and fat. Even the high % ones aren't so good!

If you want to eat dark chocolate, you gotta sweat it out hard hard hard!

the one that i read.. also read in news paper.

yeapp pure conrflake..
when i went back malaysia last time.. i can taste that the nestle cornflake in msia is processed one.. with sugar summore..

Syd G,

White bread at the moment...is it bad? and should i change to brown bread instead??

One more question. What type of weight training that will help burn the fat better?? i mean, the less weight and high reps, or normal one, or heavier weight and 5 reps?? I'm really confius with this. i read some said do less weight high reps, some said no difference, some even said heavy weight all the way. Huhu.

thanks again.

clark fann . It's good to gain muscle so you can eat more

The creepy thing is that your stretch marks on the right side of your belly is the location of one of mine too. *shudder*

hi..

i hv one very difficult question..

how do ppl stay on carbless diet for long? wat do u do when u feel like binging carb?

There is no such formula for this, just use cardio and jock every day .
if you use cardio for 30 mins every day you will loose 3-4 lbs in a week...

erm... i don't see any stretch marks there.. 

@clarkfann: you got a nice curve there but do some abs exercise to tighten it up.. then it'll be fuh lala instead of just nice.. 

U look really skinny in the picture already, I think you should firm up maintain your weight instead..

I just think it's time you gain some muscle. Right now your body looks, soft. It lacks that tight, Megan Fox look, and I'm pretty darn sure it's cuz of your lack of muscle mass.

six pack for female....hmmm.......maybe she wont have a normal female lifestyle afterall...no need to have menstrual on monthly baisis.....

u look prefect from the pic and so do ur height and weight dee....

I don't think you may see 48 kg if you want a 6 pack lah. Not unless you're very very short.

went grocery shopping at jusco just now and saw a few of those skeletons. aside from the outfit, skin colour and no big belly, could have mistaken them for those starving african kids shown in tv.
@ Clarkfann: You gotta stop worrying about your weight. Like seriously. No offence but it's kinda annoying with you obsessing wanting to get under 50kg. You're not fat like you used to. In fact you look just fine although you need to toned up to look mighty fine. And you KNOW when you toned up you'll most prolly add extra numbers on the scale.
Which do you want? hot toned body or slim skeletal soft body? I hope you pick the former.
Why not instead obsessing about being <50kg, you target to get your bf% lower?

clarkfann : OK, you're going to have to take a serious step back and really look at yourself. You have lost so much weight that you're now a sweet pretty and beautiful young lady.

If you drop another 2 kg, you're going to look like a skeleton. You want that?!?

If you want your 6-pack, then you're going to see that scale move but your BF % will drop.

Also, don't forget. You have SPM to get through this year.

Take it easy, relax. And I think I would hide that scale from you for the next 2 weeks of school holidays. Take a break lah.

CF - I am not being sarcastic. I am being straight to the point. Female to achieve 6 pack is rather tough with very low BF. A very low BF will affect woman hormonally.....and that links to menstrual.

I think it's abit pathetic to rely on just scale. Look at the mirror.

CF - see...your problem is your mindset.....it aint about the scale. be ocnfident but keep working out.....dont be surprised alot who read your comments get annoyed by your attitude and pessimism......

CF : At the same time know that we do care about your well-being and don't want to see you destroyed in your journey to be fit and healthy.

One healthy diet : dried seaweed. I took the small packet one. Low calorie and high in nutrients. Shake off any excess salt though.

CF is seriously lack of carbo. Take more and pump more in gym, haha.

Actually a healthy weight loss a month is about 1 to 2 kg.. if over do it will fat back easily. check out the women health magazine website here Womens health mag

Well, good for you then.
