Ijust followed your story. I think u shud not be too concerned abt weighing yourself too often. The important thing is that you measure your waistline. After more than a year, it should have dropped 4 - 6 inches. My waist dropped frm 36 to 30/31 inches after 6 months of workout, cardio, and proper food.

Selamat Hari Raya.

Thanks for the input drfaizal smile.gif

Hmm, actually I haven't been exercising straight for a year. When I started this thread I was exercising at home for a month or so then I stopped. Only about three months ago I joined a gym and started exercising 5-6 times a week.

Found an old journal so I compared measurements. Lost two inches only from my waistline, but my problem area is thighs and arm. Lost 5 inches from each thigh and two inches from each arm. flex.gif
I know I shouldn't but I check my weight almost daily cause there's an electronic scale at home.. but if there's weight gain I just avoid deep fried food and less rice.
and statikinetic, I can't believe I forgot to thank you for the compliment. Really made my day! Tried stupid ways of loosing weight before (eating once a day only etc).. think it's time I do it right.

actually it is you that i should thank, cause, i have procastinated in my exercise after reaching my "ideal" weight. After reading your thread, i am motivated to get back to weight training and cardio. I do them at home using dumbells and treadmill. That is my raya resolution.

As a consolation, i have been eating properly.

The key to weight management is metabolism. Higher metabolism means greater enrergy used up which leads to more stored fat and sugars burnt.

I want to share with you a site that i find very useful, if you had not been there

http://www.sparkpeople.com

i can give you other sites later. Try that one.

PS: btw, your measurements are quote encouraging, to say the least!

That website is awesome (and free)! Gonna start using it after bulan puasa.  thumbup.gif

I've read in a motivation section for weight loss is that "you're a role model to people around you". I've managed to get one of my sisters to join gym, and a few friends started exercising regularly as well.

Glad you like the site. I find it very useful. rclxms.gif

Take care.
