woot.. congrat.. 1 week with same weight, i hope it's going down in the next following week

now 23.9% bf. aiming to get below 15% -.- haha slowly.. now trying jogging skipping and cycling. also HIIT. go go

congratz on new thread. ps

So fast v2? Anyway, lately been eating quite some chips even though eating quite healthily but then kind of like guilty now

Once a while it okay. Cant always put the guilt trip on yourself. I have a lot of favourite food which I stay away from but when the craving comes I let go.

i hit syd g's advice.stop dieting and eat as usual.satisfy craving and eat my meals.i paly more actively in physical activities.not necessarily a specific exercise but moving arnd.guess what?rather than those money wasting and bloodsucking dietry products dat promises to lose kgs and inches(which are all cheating), i lose 0.5kg.better than ntg.woots~!!!i have been taking some proteins too.

love ya ppl.thanks thank thanks.

i m ok.and not fat.the power of mind.no more dieting

just bought a body fat analyser.... damn..... I gotta hit the gym more often now.....

body fat analyzer? how much did u get that one for..

btw i stopped by mag store and read men's health august...
it stated that one way to burn fat faster.. when u do ur usual gym and dieting and exercise.. do have a cheat day once a while to eat as normal (not binge) to maintain ur leptin level.

argument stated that once ur body used to negative balance. then long term it will slow down fat metabolism therefore ur fat losing regime will not work so great.. logical as body protective effect on long term starvation i guess???

I already stay away from a lot of unhealthy yummy food. Anyway, nowadays eat out once a while making me feel like not that used to it, perhaps too oily for me.

good. can track your body frequently...
is very useful for weight mgmt

Some articles on MH aren't all 100% correct, but this one you mentioned is true to the facts..
I'll just 'cut and paste' the explanation due to laziness:

wow.. thx alot.. really helps alot!

I have calculated that since january till now
in average i have lost 0.821 kg every week

:woot: :woot:

wow dats alot.. 7 month x 4 25-28kgs?

Yet I find it so difficult to lose another 5-7kgs for myself. Somehow now I wanting to have a firmer body than light weight.

I guess it depends on original weight.


I noticed that once you get into the rigth BMI, weight loss is so insignificant that it is depressing to keep track. I guess you should tone up the body instead.

ask u guys..

is it normal, at one stage, where u found out current diet is not able to fill ur stomach and energy level anymore.

after two month intensive diet and gym training (same routine of diet plan) i feel so hungry..

How does jusmate5 ? Its not a fut burner right?
Anyone tried it?

I got the omron one for RM350.... my BMI and weight is fine... just the body fat % is a little on the high side.....

organic protein can help firm your muscle

I guess you should be asking the person who told you about the program. That way you are comparing apple with apple. My plan is different from yours and it may not makes sense to compare yours with it.

I only eat total 15 spoons of rice a day (5 spoons per meals). I exercise for 3 hours twice a week. I do not feel a lack of energy inspite of my intake of carbo. I do not like sweets so there is no such things as cakes, soft drinks ... in my diet. I am so luck to dislike sugar

no,
i mean, you stick with same diet plan.. same food for sure.. at the beginning stage, u feel it's enough, and doesn't feel hungry at all.

after quite some times... muscle showing up, body getting low in fat, shape appear, u found out, ur diet is not able to give full feeling anymore.. hungry always come..

but i think this is because my metabolism is going up.. am i right? just to confirm about it.

yeah, 23kg actually

xixo,
I dont feel hungry like you do. I had been at my diet for 2 years and I believe I am not under nourish.

perhaps i should change the way i'm thinking.. mental game.. again..
tq bro

DISCIPLINE is the key.

ive been on plateau for so long. -.-
i dont do junk food
i dont do sweet drinks
on exercise regime and negative output diet..

sometimes.. even with dicipline also cant.. in weird case i guess

You said it. If you ask an expert to calculate calories used versus calories intake you will see the obvious. If you feel hungry when calories used > calories intake, that is acceptable.

Yea, discipline. As for diet wise, I think it's fine. My BMI is good, but I'm thinking to lose some more and now starting to plan out for workout to firm up the muscle and shape my body

maybe your metabolism is low, you need protein to boost up and the metabolism as well as detox tea.
i'm taking a nutritious plan which i think can help u as well...

If BMI is good, dont think of loosing weight anymore. It is so depressing to see minor weight loss each time. Just focus on looking good or toning up. After all good looks was the main motivation for people to get involve in loosing weight.

I just want to look good without all the fats showing off around

p/s, I was away, hence no time to reply the email, will do it by today before lunch time

well as i said before, make small changes to the diet to compensate for the changing body needs as you gain muscle/lose weight........

then measure the BW, BF%, muscle size then interpret the result.... no need for rocket science or guess work

i'm muslim

so today sahur, chicken breast (boil) no skin, 2 egg, and chicken dice (cooked with oil) ..
no feeling so hungry.. it's mental game i suppose..

if normal day, i feel like my stomach play the drum a lot.. need to use milk to reduce..

If you think fasting is mind over body then you lost the spiritual aspect of fasting

Twenty years ago people fast. Now people starve themselves when the sun is out only feast through the night. It certainly does not make sense to me.

I speak on behalf physical and mental issue.. none of my word focus on the religious issue..
It's not appropriate to relate all this since my vow basically for my god.. so nothing related k.. just casual chat..

hi all... I am 177cm and 90KG...
and I wanted to diet and slim down...
before my birthday tht is on the end of october...
any method to achieve it other than exercise?
like eat lesser??

i lost 6 kg

huh? in how long? -.- so sudden post like this

Haha, soo random.

At least tell us your starting weight before you lose that 6kg, how long it took you to lose it and your height as well.

Sorry Xixo, I guess pulling in religion is out of topic. My bad.



Reduce carbo intake by half should be a good start but dont expect fantastic result in 3 months.

no prob dude
after two weeks with same weight, now it start to reduce.. i'm so glad..
so far 2 months with total 10kg..

really a hard work..
gym + food control is good.. why I haven't discover this too early

woo... good for u..
mayb I shud try gym also...
in my campus,only RM1 per entry...
unlimited time....

There isn't any gym that can attract me to sign with them yet at the moment. But then everyday walking for around 30-45 minutes with 1kg dumb bells on hands should be working out for a starter right? I'm thinking to slowly increase my workout instead of going in heavily which might hurt myself again

but not suitable for me
rm1 per entry.. just 2 hours , then i chow.. rugi woo

yup.. but keep pushing to its limit.. don't overdo it

yeah eat lesser but eat healthy

Ya, I can't afford to overdo it, as I just got recover from injuries, hence it is important for me to start up slow yet steadily
Anyway, I heard that house chores such as mopping, sweeping, hand wash clothes and etc are also consider as work out, is that true?

everyday, we burn out calories, even sleep is consider as work (because it's burn calories too, but too low)
as long u keep the healthy diet, with small portion of carb.. you still lost weight.. don't eat simple, but eat smarter.. that's freaking simple steps ...

L4 is no joke. You should take it easy.

I can sweat just sweeping and mopping the whole house. I consider it a small scale aerobic activity. It is sweating that is not of the magnitute that can be consider a workout.

congratulation!!! keep on ya!!!

Is actually a good start. Since you have already pay RM1, you'll tend to utilize as much time in the gym just to make it worthwhile. It is like you're paying to eat a buffet. Once paid, obviously you'll try to eat as much as you can right? By the way, I doubt that the gym had lots of different equipments since you're paying RM1 only.

which gym is dat? sounds fair enough..

of coz u won't play them too much, otherwise it's hard to recover.. play 2hour actually more than enough..
more than that, it really give burden to your body.. at least for me..

3 times per week x 2hour.. that my limit

Nice thread, I'm reporting in to motivate myself to lose weight.

anyone knows how to get rid of loose skin on my stomach? i used to be fat last time and i lost weight by exercising.Now im planning to to get 6 packs,but it looks like i have not enough meat coz everytime i lie down i could see my ribs higher den my stomach.Besides that my stomach is also kinda flabby even after losing weight again during workout.My upper body is quite toned coz i could see 4 packs for now but the problem is dat whenever i pull my skin it can come out so far and when i sit down its like a belly and it shakes like jelly!

hi.i would like to tonemy arms but i dun wanna look muscular.i wanna lok firm and delicate.i tend to gain muscles easily.what shud i do?i can hardly achieve smaller looking upper arms

2 hrs wasted, by spending too much time in the gym dawdling and going through the motions.
Look up a proper fitness or strength programme, go in, warm up, work out, and get out.
1 hour or 1.15 hr max.

That's why 2hrs is the max hours, I won't spend time too much..
Thanks for ya info.. need to pack again the schedule so it will fit in 1hour

I don't know we burn out calories everyday, I try to cut down all carb, or maximum is only the 2 slices of bread in the early morning.

Ya, L4 is what holding me back from a lot of things, as well changes my life though
I can still do some work but just slow and difficult. Start now is only normal walking lo

Good ya! It's a good thread to motivate and sharing though

@sarah..
I...almost 2 month, without bread
If you found out the weight still doesn't change after two weeks.. review again your diet..

I had about 3 weeks without bread but lately kinda busy and as well a bit lazy to prepare other breakfast, actually is more like no time eating it at home, so bread is the best for me to eat while driving.
I am not looking at weight now, but wanting to firm up my body and shape it up

I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!!!!err...can i go for massage to slim down?

no way.. if massage can slim down. dont u think whole malaysia no obese and fat people already?

Hello, just wanna ask... Whats the fastest way to lose belly fat.

I know spot reduction is nearly impossible, are there any methods to lose belly fat fast?

Thanks.

People use to think that by slapping on body fats it will break down and eventually be discharged through our bowels. They had a fan belt looking thing hooked to a motor to do the job. Massaging to slim down should be based on this concept. Somehow the tummy rubbing belts system is not heard of anymore. I will leave you think about the effectiveness of that method.

proper calorie deficit + exercise. no other way. and it aint easy at all

Hi guys, after much pestering and advice from my friends, i finally got my self a fat burner!

Just want to know the best way to consume it. Label says 30 mins before breakfast and lunch. But i remember reading somewhere here to take it 30 mins before workout and breakfast? Which would be a better/more effective alternative?

Thanks!

if want to lose weight, then you have to eat healthy, exercise and be motivated, no such thing as massage can slim down lo
if really can, there isn't any obese and fat people liao

anyway, i can feel that my biceps are forming up now

Ya, exercise and eating habit is very important on keep your body in shape.

However a lot people fail to do so due to busy lifestyle or lazy.

Actually in order to keep your body fit. All you had to do just a simple maths on your calories consumption but to slim now the stubborn tummy, phytonutrients type protien needed to change your fat to energy.

At teenager time, my waist at 30" inch but after college, getting lazy and lazy. Tummy start to grow until 35" inch.. really terrible T_T and my gf keep complain about that.

Lucky I do a right choice to select a nutrients drink that help to control my calories and fat. I get back to 31"inch in 2 months time. From weight wise, just reduce around 6kg in 2 months.

When I say lucky because as you can see certain slimming product in the market, slim down in a short period of time but its not permanent, in very short time of period will gain weight again or maybe more. It's because the method they use is to trigger and solve the problem just temporary and not the base one

I'm still finding ways to ton up my muscle but really don't have the time for exercise nowadays >"<

Diet is still fine

yay managed to get my weight reduced and body fat reduced thx to puasa, proper diet and lots and lots of cardio

try belly dance

don't be too happy.. perhaps it's just water weight
anyway, congrats

no its not water weight.. 78kg > 76.4kg
bodyfat from 23.9% to 19.9%. and muscle mass maintained.
haha so happy now

i want to loss weight but i want it in a healthier way. What should I do?

Everyday I went jogging and physical exercising for one hour. My breakfast will be oat or mee la. Then, lunch I either will skip or mixed rice, or oat again. And dinner will be small portion of rice and home cook stuff. Not very sure if im doing it right thou.

hye all. i`m new in here! btw just want to share my experience in losing weight.
just lost 42kgs in less than a year (i`m not sure when i actually started, maybe 10 months ago).
and currently need to lose some % of fat in my body. any suggestion other than carb cycling?

thanks

Hi, you wanna ask or share?

I'm kind of confuse with ur statement

---

Added on August 20, 2010, 5:12 pmYour consume of oat is a correct way.

Maybe try my idea,

consume some oat 30minutes before your lunch and dinner.

It's because oat is a high fiber food, it's provide a protective surface in your stomach so eventually it's avoid absorption of the fat and cholesterol so slowly your calories consumption is lower as well.

Losing weight in healthy way just a simple maths with calories

lol sorry for my bad england spiking
WTA actually.

Try the method I recommend above. it's very useful to control your calories but in order to reduce fat in your body.

Plant protein needed for the process to enhance the slimming in healthy way.

You still will be able enjoy your meal without hunger yourself out.

So, the idea here is consume oat before every meal so that i eat lesser as well? Anway, I get hungry very fast. Especially after dinner, I'll get hungry fast. Consume oat too? Keep consume oat is healthy ma?

skip meal is not something proper in your diet.. reducing carb is the correct way.. add a variety.. eat more more like starving

wow..impressive... u lost too much, why you don't eat gym to tone up your body... muscle help you a lot in calories usage... = fat loss.

btw.. i'm reducing again
21.6.10 ~ 20.8.10 = total 10.5kg
i can see muscle appear in my shoulder... tricep getting harder...

yeah.. trying to reduce portion of rice now.. hmm.. any other thing to faster the process of slimming ma?

Move more. Exercise.

everyday one hour of exercise not enuf? hmm...

i have a question and need advice.
my previous weight is 117kg with bmi of 35.5
and i dropped for about 42kg with current weight 75kg and bmi around 23.67.
my question is. do i still need to lose weight in order to get rid those fats around my chest and belly?

It's all about intensity, not duration.

Tabata (Google it) is done within 4 minutes.

wow cool! Google-ed

wow.. i lose 5kg after taking TRA for one month!!! *just wanna share*

You already told us before. There's no need to be annoying.

What is TRA?

Btw, tabata is like HIIT right? Only difference is its done in 4 mins?
Which would be better? 20 mins of HIIT or 4 mins of Tabata?

As I said, depends on your effort and intensity - not duration.

Tabata is a type of HIIT. 20secs all-effort work, 10 secs rest. Go give it a try first and see if you can still breathe after 4 mins.

wat's TRA?

Now I'm interested with the Tabata

Anyway, I'm starting to take whey protein milk shake, is this good as supplement in losing weight?
