some mathematics...

assumption: no change in diet
u mentioned that u want to lose 20kg of fats.
Body fat contains about 8 Calories/g of energy.
walking for a hour consumes about 200Calories.

it means that u need to walk (20 x 1000 x 8 / 200) = 800 hours to burn 20kg fats.

u want to lose 20kg in 2 weeks, then u just need to walk 800 / 14 = 57 hours daily

yup. walking consumes about 200 - 300 Calories per hours. a tin of Coke may give u more energy than 300 Calories.

Man this is gonna take such amount of time.

haaa....this wil scare him quite abit....

btw...me...not tall...gal...les den 50kg but i wan to lose another few kg...and haf toned ,fit body:)
play badminton kinda often...yoga fr time to time...jog with my frens whenever time allowed for 1-2.5hr, swim occasionali...sleep abit too long...luv junkfd but ken resist the temptation most of the time...
dis doesn seem 2 help me reducing much weight....is it because my body is so use to all dis exercise??

surprisingly...if i eat right(3proper meal) daily , without exercise, i ken stil lose weight...but dis nv happen when im active in sports...

myfren suggests that we cant push ourselves 2much else there wont b weight reduction/wil cauase bad effect...true?? but i dun think im overstretced as yet...coz stil doesn feel real exhausted after all d game n exrcise...

how to lose weight ark...??

from ur post, i think u r fit and definitely not fat.
u can jog for 2.5 hours

muscle is much much heavier than fat. that's y ppl active in sport r quite "heavy".
but sport can give u leaner look. gals with lean muscles r definitely more feminine than skinny gals.

genetics determines our body type as Ectomorph, Mesomorph, or Endomorph. we need to love our body and accept our physiques as long as we r healthy and fit. there's no point of spoiling our bodies just to lose weight.

if u r serious to be slimmer, then u should measure ur body fat first
how to measure Body Fat
(i just pinch my stomach skin and lower back skin to estimate my body fat)
then u need to target at reducing ur body fat and ignore about ur weight.

thanks for ur token T+1

nowonder myfren said i look thinner den another fren yet my weight is about the same wif her..tt's 1..'disadvantage' being active in sports huh..keke...nvm...as long i never disclose...no1 knoe hehe

Weight not so important. Health more important.

health is ofcz the most important...but our food intake and living habit has owiz deteriorate our health sumhw or rather...tts y i belif exercise helps...but i wan to lose sum fat if possible...js like any other gal wish...no matter how thin they are...keke

oh ya....i find vegetable so so so darn difficult to gulp down after surviving for 22 yrs ...noe that's sad but...i reli hate it..n...i hate sun..dun like milk..

but...life goes on....n 2day is my exercise day of the week..haa...

i did 20-30 mins cardio exercise early in the morning b4 taking breakfast (3 times every week). after two months, i lost 2 kg of body fat and my waist shrink from 33" to about 30".

morning bcoz no more energy from food after 8-10 hours from last meal. so the body will burn fat for energy. this is info i got from a book, dunno whether it is true or not, but it works

(now no more doing this as i hate to wake up early )
