I am an obese and since a few weeks ago have started being active again.

30 YO male
171cm
113kg in June
98kg as of yesterday

Activities include jog, run, and some weight lifting. Oh weekly hiking as well.
I am quite detail on food intake to make sure calorie deficit everyday.

However lately i realised that Ii am losing weight faster especially after taking up hiking. More like 2kg per week. I drink plenty of water every day and I dont think it is cause by dehydration.

I workout every day, 1 hr each time and sometimes goes to twice a day. So my question is, is it normal to lost that much weight in such a short time?

wah congrats!

the 'healthy' amount is ~1kg per week. need more info about your food. if you are working out 2x per day and eating very little, then yes. its not good for you. after all your exercise, how many calories are left for your body to use for normal functions?

Honestly I dont eat much less. just that i control what i eat. no more kfc or mcd or canned food. more to vege, fruits and lean meat. and almost zero sweet beverages. And the workout part i really give my all. at least once a day.

if you dont feel tired, or like your dying then should be ok. but remember to take rest days. your body will thank you for it and come back stronger.

try to calculate in calories how much your intake really was. then calculate calories you burned from exercise and subtract it from your overall intake. from your stats the remainder should be at least around 1500-1600 cals. if less than that, your body will have some trouble. im not a believer of the whole 'starvation mode' but i do believe your body needs the proper amount of calories to function properly.

wow.. congrats...

i wish i can be like you.. and most important is get rid of the spare tyre..

its not that hard la..just a bit of discipline..especially over the yummy fast foods..hehe and since im living at the 31st floor of an apartment..i decide to take the stairs for cardio..

My place just open a new burger king. Lmfao! Trying hard to not think about it but ......

I am currently using the Couch to 5k program provided by NHS.

The program is a series of podcast that tells you when to walk and when to run. Each podcast is approximately 30 minutes which include 5 minutes of walking at the beginning and end of the podcast.

This is link to the free podcasts: http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/couch-to-5k.aspx

I am currently in Week 2. A small step towards a healthier life.

Gender : Male
Age : 18 Years Old
Weight : 75kg (plus minus)
Height : Roughly 170cm

Aim : Lose weight but more into looks then weight

So here is my story : From the details given above , I am definitely overweight but not obese in terms of BMI . I have been trying to lose weight but nothing seems to work.
I have been trying to eat clean. Eating less carbs and more protein . I don't drink sugary drinks , only plain water. I eat fruits (mainly apple) and veggies or just drink water if I'm hungry.Here are the details :

Breakfast : Rarely
Lunch : A little bit of rice + protein (fish / chicken / meat) + veggies
Dinner: Fish/Chicken/Meat + veggies

As for exercises , I don't do much as I find this very taxing and I have asthma plus with the haze . However , I did the 7min workout for a few cycle if I had the chance . Plus , I don't know what kind of exercise is suitable for me.

As for additional details , I have an endomorph body type ( which looks rather girly IMO) and I think most of my fat is centered around my thighs , calf and my butt making them appear bigger and abnormal. This is seriously a pain in the ass as I had been laugh for having a big butt as it stands out a lot (I'm serious about this one) . I had to buy a pant that is 2 inch bigger just so my butt can fit in . (example : my waist 32 inch but i had to buy 34 inch) And whenever I wear shirts , it wouldn't look flat from the side but it would have a HUGE bump over my butt if I tucked my shirt out . I know that spot reduction is not possible thus im trying to lose weight overall. I'm trying to get slim legs with the butts not appearing in any outstanding way . As for my upper body , I'm trying to achieve an upper body that is nor muscly but not fatty , just normal . And my face is kinda round but I know I have to drop my overall weight to have my face slim down.

I would like to have suggestion for my intake and exercises and cardio suggestion as I can't find that suits me . My main focus to get an ideal body rather than losing weight . Thanks a lot for any help given from you sifus . Plus I am not familiar with all the calorie counting and how to calculate ones calorie ,

don say edi....

oh please give me strength to stop it!!!

Just took KFC few days ago and regretted like

Lol that is normal la ppl..must have felt like s**t afterwards..haha

That feeling is terrible.. like the 2 days cycling burn calories all comes back in that 3 piece chicken breast

Firstly, BMI is a very impractical thing to be using. You should be looking at body fat %.

Secondly, losing fat is pretty simple. These two factors are the golden rules (1) Reduce calorie consumption and (2) Ensure adequate weight-bearing exercise.

To find your calorie requirement, use this site: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/

(1) Select goal: Lose fat (10%)
(2) Select the Katch-McArdle research model
(3) For your body fat %, scroll downwards on this site and find what you look similar to http://www.builtlean.com/2012/09/24/body-f...tage-men-women/
(4) Ignore the calibration factor and other settings
