It seems you're doing great but why avoid chicken though? They are a good source of protein (although yes, you can also get protein elsewhere).

It seems you're taking Fat Burner everyday. Wouldn't it be better to let your workout burn the fats for you? Fat burners help to achieve short-term goal but would not sustain in long term

And - your diet is not really healthy. It seems to me that at times you're under eating and at other times it's too oily.

Not enough nutrition:
23/04
Breakfast: Cereal drink + oatmeal biscuits
Lunch: Fruits + wheatmeal biscuits
Dinner: Fruits + wheatmeal biscuits

and

24/04
Breakfast: Cereal drink + oatmeal biscuits
Lunch: Fruits + wheatmeal biscuits + Hot Horlicks O (No Sugar)
Dinner: wheatmeal biscuits + some junk food

Food intake on 27 & 28 April is pretty oily. If it's considered your cheat day(s) then I guess it's fine.

When you take sandwich, the Chicken Ham is preserved food. Try not to eat it too often. Eating real chicken meat is far better than chicken ham slice.

I don't see any fruits after 24/04 onwards stack up on fruits too. If you can, eat your food boiled, steamed, grilled, lightly pan-fried or baked rather than fried.

I can't imagine life without chicken and eggs

Yeah there's been a lot of talk about chicken being injected with hormones and such. Oh well, there's no way to avoid that unless you have your own farm. All the commercial chicken products we consume outside are the same.

Nature of work? Not sure what you do but I believe you can still tapau lunch/ dinner from nearby cafe/ restaurant right? I'm more conventional, it's always the rice + meat/ poultry/egg, vege + fruits that's best for lunch and dinner. Sometimes I'd lose the rice but generally it's fine to have 2-3 tablespoon of it.

I used to take fat burner as well (about 2 years ago). It causes a number of problems - namely heart palpitation, over-active, problem sleeping at night and on top of all, a hole in the pocket (it's pretty expensive). And I had one major concern too - health implications. I'm worried if it'll damage my liver or kidney or give me other problems in my body (over long term). I noticed that when I skipped or stopped taking them, I felt tired and less energetic. Once I don't take the pills anymore, my weight came back and I put them on pretty fast too.

Later on I just decided it's best to go with the natural way - GYM! At least I feel safer. Besides, workouts are enjoyable yes painful but fun too. It's all part of the weight loss journey to persevere is what winners do!

Sure thing, whatever works for each person keep up the good work! But still, try to lose the fat burner if you can. Yeah I'm naggy~ There's always good and bad to each thing. Nice to hear you enjoy your workout!!!

I can also see the result of my hard work - not only losing weight/ fat but I've also built some muscles on my arm wouldn't want overly bulging and huge ones like men/ bodybuilders have but some form of muscle is good and nice. Can also see that my body's more toned up ah... but everyday body ache due to workout.

I go to gym about 5-6 times a week. That 1-2 days whereby I didn't go is usually due of work, chilling out/ shopping with friends or simply wanted to rest. Yeah very tired, every morning I wake up feeling like a grandma. I walk like one too due to muscle pain at times ...but once I hit the gym, I don't feel half as tired as I did. Only when I don't eat enough that I would feel no energy.

I don't like working out at home (alone). It's boring -.- but if the gym classes are no good, I do workout at home with video. I would go for 20min HIIT + 30 to 40min Body Combat.

Feel great every time after workout in gym so the trend continues hahaha.

really? Wasted on 2nd day? When you've just started, usually will need more time to recover.

I go to FF Bukit Tinggi stay nearby. I usually join the GX classes... yesterday was a little extreme since it was a PH. I did 30min zumba (was late... the night before I slept late), 1 hour cardio (Body Attack, similar to HIIT), 1 hour TRX (suspension training) and 30min Hardcore. I was totally beat by the time I reach Hardcore but it's only 30min so might as well do my best. Feeling the after-effect today. Errr that wasn't extreme right? Usually I'd do 1 hour to 1.5 hours workout and at times 2 hours (depending on class). But on weekend it's minimum 2 hours.

love handles and muffin? that's a first for me to hear lol but yeah gotta lose mine too ....planning to weigh myself this weekend. Have not done so in more than a month.

Got, the gym is in Aeon Bkt Tinggi

What is "touge"? yumcha? lol

Aiseh, means car racing? Aiyoyo~
