Hey guys. I have upgraded my schedule.

Now, im trying to reduce my diet to 1200-1300 calories, by cutting my pasta intake to 100 grams a day, and increase my chicken breast skinless intake to 600-1kg a day. depending on how many eggs i take.

So im going super heavy on protein, and light on carbohydrates, reducing my calories to 1300.

At the same time, i have changed my workout schedule, since i have repaired by bicycle. i will be doing bicycle workouts, and heavy workouts.

MORNING : 20-60 minutes of cycling (12-16km) or 400-500 calories
AFTERNOON : 1 hour 20 minutes of gym or 800-1000 calories
EVENING : 2 hours of cycling, OR 2 hours of swimming, OR 2 hours of DDR.  or 900-1500 calories

WEEKENDS ; 40-50km of cycling (1200-1300 calories)

This adds up to burning 2100 calories - 3000 calories on weekdays, and 1200-1300 calories on weekends. against food intake of 1300 calories.

Im also going on long range cycling drives. I will be aiming 40-50km bicycle rides, planned along good bicycle lanes or kampung areas for my weekends. i have put aside 4-5 hours. my average speed is 13 kmh with no effort, and 20-25 kmh with effort.

With this combination, im planning to increase my calories burnt per day to 1800-2000.

instead of normal pace of cycling or jogging, you should do it in HIIT pace. it cut down the time needed for exercise and the effect lasted much longer.

problem is, i cycle at quite high intensity already. i will always maintain 150-155 heart rate, level 15 at quite a fast pace. its very difficult to go faster. and i dont like going slow... and forcing myself to go slow just to do a HIIT seems to not really make sense.

if you can cycle for 2 hours, i'm sure it's not high intense enough. for beginners doing 20 mins of HIIT is enough to make you feels exhausted and literally want to vomit. HIIT is about going at your maximum effort/speed.

cycle at max speed you can achieved for 1 minutes and you'll be glad to go slow for those 3-4 minutes.

you don't need to change your exercise, just change your last 20 minutes of cycling to HIIT, do it 2-3 times a week is already enough.

Well ill try. but im definitely not going to reduce my exercise times to 2-3 times a week. im sticking to 7 days a week, because its been going well for 2 months already. so im confident with my stamina.

Usually i cycle for only 1 minute 20 seconds, I dont know if the gym cycle is on weed or not, but usually i cover 30-40km, burning 1200-1500 calories depending on the intensity. i dont buy it tho, im sticking to more conservative 500-600 calories based on 10-15mph.

Btw. i have weighted myself on the new year, today my afternoon weight was 82.5kg (early morning weight = 81.0kg). Hence, i have revised my targets to reflect this. Im going to continue my regime, increase intensity, and try to eat slightly less, and try to put off more weights. My target is BMI of 18, or 59kg for my height.

Before E = target A = actual
NovA = 90kg
4H12E- 88kg
1Q13E- 86kg
2Q13E- 84kg
3Q13E- 82kg
4Q13E - 80kg
4Q14E - 70kg-80kg

Revised targets
NovA = 90kg
4H12A = 82kg (-8)
1Q13E = 75kg
2Q13E = 69kg
3Q13E = 64kg
4Q13E = 60kg
4Q14E = 59-60kg

Wow I do admire your discipline and motivation to lose weight. Actuallyim trying to lose weight also cos borderline overweight with my 175cm frame. Has been trying to reduce food intake by taking lotsa protein but seems that those high protein food quite expensive. How about swimming? Can swimming for 30minutues burns lotsa calories?

My protein food im using now is chicken breast (RM9-10/kg without bones), pasta (has trace protein), eggs.

All of them are pretty cheap u know. Eggs are especially cheap, so i rely a lot on white omelletes (1 yolk 3-4 whites)

sweat.gif I know that feeling. I did one HIIT with a PT and then yesterday tried another HIIT exercise through one of Fitness Blender's video and it was brutal! I was bathing in sweat in just 20min (and I couldn't even follow the whole workout). It's good to combine cardio (30-45min on treadmill) + 20min HIIT training and I'm done for the day!

2-3 times a week is sufficient? sounds good. Besides it's a workout I can do when I travel with no access to gym.

Check this out: http://www.fitnessforweightloss.com/how-ma...-burn-swimming/

Swimming is good but you'll have to do it regularly to see the effect. Otherwise, 20min of HIIT works well too.

concept not really right there about hiit.

when i do hiit, my heart rate reaches 190, and the rest period is just going slightly slower than the high intensity just enough to rest to do the high intensity "cycle".

for example running at 14.5 km/h for 2 min, jogging at 11.5km/h for 30 seconds. repeat cycle of running and jogging until 20-25 min.

anyways, currently im already consistently below 80kg. That means, my natural burn rate has been lowered by 11%

Hence, i have revised my diet to retain my daily calories deficit

Currently, i eat around 1400-1500 calories per day, versus natural burn rate of 900 calories per day, leisure 32 minute cycling of 200 calories per day, gym high intensity cycling at 800 calories per day, DDR at 800 calories per day, which adds up to burning 2500+ calories

Now that my natural burning rate, and workout burning falls by 11% to 2200-2300, I will try to reduce my calories from 1400-1500 to 1200-1300 per day, allowing me to retain a 1000 calories daily deficit, or 1kg per week (4kg per month)



Ultimately, i hope i can reach 59kg by the end of the year.

EDIT: looks like today i hit my all time low of 75kg XD brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif Its going to get tougher, but i will maintain my momentum. another 16kg to go!

Wow! Impressive! i've also started a weight loss plan but not as intensive as yours. Started since January last year and till this year on average lost 1kg/month without sacrificing the food that I luv. Hope to hit 73kg by mid 2013 to reach BMI of 23.

I'll be checking on your thread regularly! good luck!

Sorry for the long update. when i was dancing last last monday, i got hit by severe backpain. im lucky its not a slipdisk, but more likely my butt getting cramped. I have updated until Day 90. looks like its already 3 months since i started!

My low is at 75kg, so i have achieved my target one month ahead of my target of end 1Q13. But im not going to stop. I still have belly, so im going to go on until i can see my bones. Only when i see bones im going to stop biggrin.gif

Either ways, im up and running again. I decided that i should love my back more, so im going to ease a bit and spread out my workouts. i will make sure i dont push it too much specially while dancing.


Good news is, i just found the Endless Mode on DDR, i dont need to choose songs anymore, and let the game throw the dice and give me songs endlessly! this will reduce waiting time between songs for the scoring. This way, i get much more bang for the buck XD

Btw, for those interested in DDR, my songpack includes level 8-9 songs from Vocaloid (Hatsune miku, Rin, Len, Luka, Gakupo, Neru, Haku), and 02 Jam flagship songs (electro fantasy,V3, bride in dream)

Nice guide.

I am 180CM, 23YO, Weight 110KG.

Currently i am weighting 75KG. This is my method.

1. Cardio.
I did Cardio running for atleast 1-2hours a day for 9months. I started of with only 5mins before i feel like my hearts and lung were gonna blowup. It was tough since i'm a smoker and drinker. After 3 to 4 months of DAILY running. I made it to 30mins, 1 hours to 2 hours constantly (without smoking break) It was great progress and i was feeling healthier.

2. Food.
Food intake is important for everybody. Especially people with low metabolism like me and TS. Cut all your meals to three meals a meal. Meaning if you were to have lunch, divide your food to 2/3 portion and eat each portion once every 30mins or 1 hour. Same with dinner. This will help trick your metabolism to think that you are eating too often and require higher and faster metabolism.

3. Avoid Carbohydrate/Fried food and eat fruits when ur feeling hungry
Unused Carbohydrate turns to fatty tissue, therefore eat 50-70% lesser than your current rice/noodles/biscuits intake per meal. And if its not dinner time yet, dont snack. Go and find an apple/orange/banana.

4. Eat Vegetables and take supplements
Alot of people only think of losing weight and fats. So when they start refraining from eating too much, we end up neglecting our own nutrients and vitamins needed daily. Therefore go ahead and consume cod fish oil, garlic essence, and my personal fav Lecithin E.

Lecithin E is a fat emulsifier of fatty substances in the body and aids in the absorption of vitamin E.

wink.gif Good luck, i made it in 9months without slimming pills how about you?
