Haven't been posting since July, damn bloody busy with new environment change and all, now stuck in Langkawi for one and a half years.

Oh and btw, 9 months straight without rice, booyah!!
78kg now, finally achieved my goal, now for the beach bod, gonna give myself 4 months to work on it, I think thats fair enough considering I can't choose my diet here. Still gonna stay off rice and white bread though, wanna make it 12-0, ONE FREAKING YEAR YO!!

just want to ask..
since i tried before joging and cant stand the pain becuase i am too fatt(105kg),i amgiving a try to do some cycling

if lets say i do cycling exrecise for a period of one month, will the body still burn the fat even i am doing the same exercise?

lets say for an example

1st week loss 3kgs
2nd week loss 2kgs

will the body can know what kind of execise that we are doing and then the body will adapt to what exrcise i am doing(cycling) thus resulting in lower fat burned?

hey, the problem is i only 155 cm~~~

Just do the treadmill mate, I know how much it hurts, but its all in the mind!! Don't need to aim a 1km jog right away, start by doing slow walks and 100-200m sprints, then reduce speed. Each time u hit the gym or the jogging track, increase your distance. I myself could barely do 200m jog on the treadmill 9months ago when I was about your weight, kaki sakit, jantung sakit, and felt dizzy after trying. But after a few weeks, you'll get used to it, and your body WILL adapt. Don't just rely on cardio, instead, do some weights. Focus on your legs and thighs if they give out easily, so that u can run further and for a longer period. Do squats and if you're at the gym, ask around, there are an abundance of techniques u can try out.

U should not focus on "loosing weight" this early. Try get your metabolism up first, do some basic weight and resistance training as well as cardio. You'll be gaining weight for sure, but it will be muscle mass, and not fat. Cycling is good too, just not as effective as rowing or swimming and jogging IMHO.
And most importantly, the amount of weight u loose is not SOLELY based on how much exercise u do, but factors such as a healthy diet, and genetics as well as metabolic rates have to be taken into consideration.

cheers mate!

Added on September 23, 2010, 10:52 pmI bought the Fat Track Pro from a forummer a couple of months back for RM150 I think, or was it RM100, can't really recall. 2nd hand but practically brand new in condition. Definitely helps people who do weights coz trust me, BMI alone won't be accurate once your muscle mass starts increasing.

33% is very high.. esp if ur only 19...
eat healthy. exercise? dats the only way
for u.. no fast food. absolutely not

Although you may have heard it over and over again, it is really true. Drinking water not only replenishes your system but also promotes weight loss. How is that possible? Well, as we all know, water is a fluid that directly passes your colon, so drinking water can flush away those toxins and unwanted fats. Drink at least 8 glasses a day for best results.

Water is essential to life and a healthy body. Dehydration will wreak havoc on you and your fitness goals. If you are dehydrated your body cannot function at its optimal level. For example, your muscles will loose strength, you won't burn fat as quickly, and you'll feel tired and fatigued.

Hi there,

Start your cardio to lose all the fat first, like running on treatmill, join those cardio class such as body combat, Ritmo Zum, cycling before you move into weight training. 20kg in 2-3 month is bad for your health, 20kg in 2 or 3 year will do you good. If you lose weight in such a short time it will bounce back even worst...And also you have to control your food intake. Healthy breakfirst, light lunch and no dinner (if you can)......

i think u wrong, he can starts weight training and cardio directly.
no need to do cardio before weight training. in fact weight training can increase his metabolism well.

No dinner is SO NOT HEALTHY. Eat 5-6meals healthy meals a day.

notings wrong with cycling. if u comfortable with it. dont tuink too much. do it and see how your body react

Lucky for u, this is not /k and people here are still learning . Don't give advice if you're not sure about it mate, I recommend reading more instead of just listening to what people say. 20-30kg in 2 or 3 years? Thats the biggest BS ever man, and seriously, no offense to u, just sharing my opinions.
And your "diet" plan is totally screwed up, but if it works for u, I've got notninh else to say..

Some one who speaks sense, thank you. But I gotta disagree with not doing cardio before weight training. IMO doing it does u no harm, and if you're really into loosing weight, burning those extra calories on the treadmill will definitely do u some good. Not only that, it also serves as a good warm up, get the blood and momentum flowing so o speak. Oh, but don't push yourself too hard, no use using up all your energy early and having nothing for weight training..

Thanks for the infor...but that really work for me hahaha.......I am also sharing my opinions. Sorry If i say something wrong.

Ignore my post before. Sorry.

Being passionate is ok, to me. It takes awhile to finetune the information that you read because it may get outdated the next day.

There's also no really polite way to soften statements that may seem harsh. Especially in LYN forums.

how about me? I also do gym now, but i have no idea want to do what type of exercise.i worried about i will be more strong if I do with wrong way. I want to loss weight but not become musculer..pls give some guidnance..thanks!!

Thats nice to hear mate, a positive attitude is always the right way to go
Don't need to apologise, we all learn new things everyday

Can someone give a good example of a fat-burning weights circuit training? I tried googling around, but...cant quite understand/adapt to those mentions :S

i only rely on cardio for fat burning
the HIIT and tabata specifically..
where do u heard it? tell me about it im interested to try
