The rice
1) At a chapfan.
2) At a Thai restaurant.
3) At a banana leaf restaurant.
4) At a Chinese restaurant.
5) Briyani at a middle eastern restaurant.

GF.
Diet? She used to throw up or get diarrhea each time she ate for 2 months, therefore on a liquid only diet of mainly juice, soymilk and protein powder. After that the maximum she could consume was a slice of bread every 3 hours together with liquids.

Workout? The 2 months she kept being tested positive she could barely walk to the bathroom without panting or feeling a sharp pain in her chest. After that she could slowly walk around for 2-5 minutes before she began panting for 10 minutes. She first contracted Covid 4/21 and she began doing some very light exercises since last December. Now she follows my diet and a similar exercise regime.

How much rice did you eat before you get nausea?

Your GF didn't eat much, yet she gained so much weight.

3-4 tbsp.

I think it was the protein powder that caused the weight gain as well as hormonal imbalances.

Rice is a neutral food, if small amounts can cause nausea, have you ever thought that something is not right? You had rice in the past, right?

Protein powder can help body gain 40 kg?

yes hormonal imbalances is the main cause of weight gain for women. Especially since his GF's body is not only fighting/recovering with covid. Pzifers/AZ are known to cause women plenty of issues. This is a common talk among us women, one of the prominent signs is that all of us experience some sort of changes in our menstruations. don't know what the fuck else it's affecting in our bodies.

Also, weight loss journey, working out journeys are different for men and women. What works for men, might not work for women and vice versa. And men always have faster results, thanks to hormones. Your GF might need to see a doctor, or get somebody qualified to actually cater/plan an entirely new food/exercise regime that cater to her needs.
Because the same plan, regime or diet that you are using, might not be working for her. Looking at the results, it's not working for her anymore.

If you follow my exercise and food log, you'll notice my gf does similar exercises as me but the resistance levels are different.

She sees several doctors and a dietician. We were thinking of having a PT but decided against it as there are many app or social media based ones that are decent enough.

No I don't follow your exercises nor food log.

Just curious, do you both have fitness tracker? I assume you do. Or have you thought of throwing that weight machine out of the window? Because when I first started working out, I was gaining weight as well. And in between also reached plateau. Needless to say it was demotivating as hell.

What I did was I hid the weight machine, just kept up with my exercises. I don't do crash diet but I tried to eat within 1200 - 1300 calories. According to my fitnesspal I should eat around there. And I measure my body, the circumferences I mean in like once every 2 months or whenever I feel like it.

1 year later. I dropped from 64KG to 58KG. Yes, I weighed myself only after 1 year. Granted that I don't drop that much like the other who practiced strict or crash diets. I still indulged myself here and there, and I still eat carbs noodles rice like normal. But my clothes drop from L size to S size. I have to keep tightening my belts and I'm visibly toned. And my body measurements, they all drop as well. I really don't mind if the numbers don't drop cause I don't wanna lose my muscles, muscles are very heavy too.. when I started the journey, I told myself that I don't wanna be thin. I wanna be healthy and fit.

The weigh machine is extremely demotivating. It really takes a lot of perseverance, hardwork and sweat. Sometimes we reach plateaus, but you already know what to do about it actually. The rest just takes time.

We both wear an Apple Watch as our fitness tracker.

Weighing ourselves? We don't do it everyday but once every 2 weeks though it's extremely tempting to do so everyday but we've chosen not to do so for the reasons you mentioned.

In reality, as long as you're happy with yourself and everything else is healthy then there's nothing really wrong about your situation.

My weight loss journey started 10 years ago

I ran, built muscles and reduce calories.

My weight was like a yoyo.

Our monthly update.

May wasn't necessarily a strict keto month as had many visitors and guest as well as too many Raya open houses to attend.

This morning's weigh in :-

Weight :-
Me : 103.6kg
Gf : 102.7kg

BMI :-
Me : 28.5
Gf : 31.5

Bummer she managed to steal the lead but I'm happy for her.

Something to celebrate is I'm finally no longer obese but still a long way to go.

Waist size :=
Me : 38" down from 44 in January. Could button up my size 38" waist Levi's 501 I had as a 21 year old however it doesn't feel comfortable at the thighs.
Gf : 38" down from 40 in January but still up from pre-Covid where she was 34"

Bust and Hip size.
40F, down from 42F in Jan but still up from pre-Covid of 38DD
Hips 42 down from 44 but still up from pre covid of 38.

Blood pressure :-
Me : 117/73
She : 126/85

Blood sugar :-
Me (No exercise since last meal)
After 8 hour fast : 5.4
After 12 hour fast : 5.5
After 16 hour fast : 5.4
16 hour fast and 2 hours after a keto friendly meal : 5.7
16 hour fast, 2 hours after a keto friendly meal and 2 hours after a ripe medium sized Dole banana : 6.2

She (No exercise since last meal)
After 8 hour fast : 5.6
After 12 hour fast : 5.6
After 16 hour fast : 5.7
16 hour fast and 2 hours after a keto friendly meal : 6.3
16 hour fast, 2 hours after a keto friendly meal and 2 hours after a ripe medium sized Dole banana : 7.4

We are now wondering whether pre-covid she was pre-diabetic or not as her mum is a diabetic as was her late dad.

OK, either way I hope to be under 100kg soon.

For June some changes will happen to our dietary habits as well as our physical activities.

The first is we will now move to 18:6 intermittent fasting. Our eating window will be between 12pm to 6pm.

The next change is instead of a 1400kcal we will move to a 1200kcal.

Physical activities : We are moving to a different condo as originally we were supposed to be in Bhutan from June to October, only problem is Bhutan isn't issuing any travel permits yet and my condo has a tenant moving in.

I reduce my intake to 70% for 2 years and workout a lot. BMI dropped to 22, fat belly becomes 6 packs abs.

But my body is always feeling starved and sometimes I cannot sleep due to hunger. I drink water to get the full stomach feeling most of the time

It's been quite the rollercoaster this month.

We moved to a different condo and that's somewhat messed up our routines. Also had several trips, filming and jobs to do that derailed things a bit.

Now that we have some idea on what's happening and gotten into routine. The gym at the condo we moved to isn't very conducive and it has a limit of just 2 persons and only 60 minutes max, made it a bit difficult however we were in luck, we managed to take over a gym membership of an expatriate couple that was leaving the country. Needless to say we didn't go to gym for 2 weeks but we kept to walking.

Unfortunately the condo we moved to is quite a bit smaller than our previous one, only 540sqft and a studio. Alas it was the only thing we could find on such short notice and on a month to month contract. It's also meant our dietary goals had to take a back seat and relied on eating out mostly.

Well enough of that.

Let's get on with it.

Weights :-

Me : Gained 2kg, then managed to work it off to be 101.3kg
GF : She gained 3kg, then managed to drop to 102.3kg

YES!!!!!!!!! I'm back in the lead. Now my most immediate goal is on the morning of the 4th of July I want to be below 100kg.

Blood pressure :-

Me : 120/75 HR 62
GF : 122/80 HR 60

The good news for me is my cardiologist reduced the dosage of 2 of the 3 meds I take to control hypertension and said I might even be able to stop taking the 2 all together in 2 months time.

Blood sugar :-

Blood sugar :-
Me (No exercise since last meal)
After 8 hour fast : 5.2
After 12 hour fast : 5.4
After 16 hour fast : 5.4
16 hour fast and 2 hours after a keto friendly meal : 5.7
16 hour fast, 2 hours after a keto friendly meal and 2 hours after a ripe medium sized Dole banana : 5.9

She (No exercise since last meal)
After 8 hour fast : 5.7
After 12 hour fast : 5.7
After 16 hour fast : 5.8
16 hour fast and 2 hours after a keto friendly meal : 6.3
16 hour fast, 2 hours after a keto friendly meal and 2 hours after a ripe medium sized Dole banana : 7.8

Plans for the month :-

-18:6 IF. 12pm-6pm 2 meals per day. 1250kcal per day.
-Walk from Dataran Maybank to Bangsar Shopping Centre in a fasted state 5 times per week.
-Gym Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
-Diet :-
Monday : Carnivore.
Tuesday : Carnivore.
Wednesday : Keto.
Thursday : Keto.
Friday : Keto.
Saturday : Low carb.
Sunday : Low carb.

I'm losing 10kg from 96 kg to 86kg in 6 weeks. But my body fat only decrease 2%, is it normal? Or just i losing water weight or muscle mass.
I feel my body fat abit flappy especially belly. My scale machine shows i have high muscle mass. But i don't see any muscle, it just fat around my body.

Ps: i) cut sugar n exercise hiit and cardio in 6 weeks.
ii) no strict diet, just take smaller portion. No supper (i used to eat snack or maggi before sleep)
1 or 2 times cheat day per week.
iii) no relationship (means no excessive junk food taking)
