hey guys, just started reading this thread from v1... still have a lot to go thru haha

okay some details. im a 22yo male, height 164cm but weight 76kg +_+

i finally reached 80kg 3 months ago haha... so in december i started going to the gym. my normal routine is 20mins on crosstrainer (burned abt ~250 calories), then about 60 mins weightlifting. i do this on mondays, wednesdays n fridays every week. tuesday n thursday i join the 1hr les mills bodypump class.

in december, i just eat like normal but with half rice n no rice at night. lose just 1kg lol

in january, i normally have early lunch (half-bowl of rice, chicken/fish) about 10.30am, n my next meal is my dinner. normally just wholemeal bread with peanut butter n 1 or 2 bananas. i make sure i drink at least 1.5 litres of plain water everyday. same routine at the gym (with increased weights, n crosstrainer 25mins). lost 3 kg. probably should note my job involves a lot of walking around. i do believe my gut is smaller though (before i can only wear size 34 pants. now 32 also a bit loose w/o belt)

so from 80kg now im 76kg, but in february im kinda stuck at my current weight. so my plan:

1) ~7am, light jog (6 or 7 km/h) for about 15mins
2) after jog, wholemeal bread + peanut butter / egg + low fat milk
3) ~11-1, same lunch
4) ~5-6 same workout
5) eat fruits (apple / banana) n yogurt
6) strictly drinking plain water only

my target weight is 70kg (68kg would be best) by july. so that's 6kg in 4 months, or 1.5kg per month. i just want to admit here i dun eat vege much so i just eat multivitamin pills. i understand it's better to eat more smaller meals, but that would be quite inconvenient for me.

any comments? i'd also love to hear any comments regarding protein bars. also i dun really like oatmeals, nestum is fine though. same thing?

lol ok i guess lunch at 12pm is still the best peanut butter isnt the low fat type. so banana should be for breakfast? got it.

oh ya i actually like sengkuang. is it okay to just have sengkuang and protein shake for dinner?

eh i always thought 1.5 litres is the minimum. okay, will target 5 litres at least per day. ill add sengkuang for my dinner, n bananas only after heavy workouts.

any protein shakes to recommend? anyway what's the verdict for these foods...good or bad?
- baked beans in tomato sauce
- tuna spread (w/o mayo)
- nutella
- 2x hotdogs for breakfast...okay or not?
- egg yolk... im really not sure abt this. some ppl say very good, some say very bad
- yogurt (not the low fat type)

just started using myfitnesspal today. can trust? :S eat kfc everyday also can lost weight meh? hehe



breakfast is at 9am, lunch at 12 (wasnt hungry at all), dinner around 6.30pm. no workout today

wah i always thought baked beans are good +_+. yeah i always like plain yoghurt, never liked those with fruity flavour haha not sure why. i think i'll just have 1 hotdog during breakfast juz for the flavour. should be okay la right?

good info about yeo's soya bean. gotta stop drinking that. will look into better brands around

any exercise ideas for non-workout times? e.g. parking further so i walk more. dumbbells during watching tv?

im not talking abt losing weight bro... just some small2 exercise ON TOP of my gym routine. yes, as a normal person i do plan on watching tv instead of exercising 24 hours a day. my question was if there's any good 'mini-exercise'. if there's no such thing, then a "no" would be a sufficient answer thank you!

anyway, went arnd looking for good soya bean drink today. is this any good? not sure what defines as good

chill bro. im 23 too n justttt starting on this health thing hehe. never bothered before. even at 19 i was pretty fat already

here's what i did to really push myself: sign up for a gym. i took a 3-month plan (will only be in kuching in 3 months) n paid the full sum. like this, i will feel rugi if i dont go to the gym, so i make sure i go every weekdays after work. i think ~95% of my weekdays i go gym

n of course, i dont want to pay so much money, spend so much time n effort at the gym, but not lose weight right? so the gym in turn push me to take care of what i eat
