I'm 135 cm tall. Previously, my weight was 67 kg, and after nearly 2 months of diet, my weight drops to 55 kg now. Previously, my stomach was really bloated, very big tummy until it is very obvious when wearing normal shirt, got insulted for it and it became my motivation to diet. Now, I don't have the bloated stomach and I can manage to reduce my double chin to single chin lol.

But there's a problem....I can't seem to go below 55 kg since few weeks ago....
What I did since the very first day of my diet until now:
1. Stops eating rice for lunch. Only two vegetables.
2. Eat little rice for dinner, cause dinner at home, my parents will nag if i don't eat rice.... doh.gif

3. Stops eating deep fried and fried chicken, butter milk chicken, KFC, MC Donalds

4. Everyday jogging for 1 hour in the evening, sometimes rest once a week

5. I have my own "Cheating" day, once a week when outing with friends....at most I will eat ABC, Special, or popcorn for movies

now, my weight cant drop below 55kg already....any idea how to go slimmer?


Edit: the comments above this are discussing about the same problem lol...but I don't go for gym (Expensive, don't have time, can only jogging everyday)...i just wanna know if there's any problem with my current diet

Your metabolism will dropped when your weight dropped, means your Basal metabolic rate (BMR) dropped because you will lose muscle as well! Not just water and fat.
For example, your food intake is fixed:

First month (When you at 67kg)
Calories in (2000) < Your BMR (2000)+ exercise (500)

Second month (When you at 60kg)
Calories in (2000) < Your BMR dropped (1800) +exercise (450) *weight lose will decrease your calorie usage while exercise*

Third month (When you at 56kg)
Calories in (2000) = Your BMR dropped (1600) +exercise (400)

Conclusion: Only calories deficit can lose weight.

Solution (to achieve calorie deficit):

1) Increase your workout intensity -> burn more calories (HIIT, eg: sprint)
2) Weight training or resistance training -> build more muscles, more muscle mass will give me high BMR (no money to gym? Do it at your home, such as push up, pull up, plank, squat, burpees, high knees and etc)
3) Eat less/no calorie dense food -> decrease calorie in
4) Drink green tea, no sugar please -> increase metabolism, means increase BMR

The progress will be slow but slow progress is still a progress!! Be consistent and stay healthy!

I'm trying to lose more calary and do more running in between my jogging session

but....sometimes really need to break the rules and drink some "sweet" drink with gf, if not she angry  sweat.gif

Of course you may drink sweet drinks, but not every day, you can request to reduce sugar level from 100% to 50% or 25%.

Try to do more muscle training, such as push up, pull up, plank, crunch and etc (not necessary go to gym), these will make you look fitter and more handsome (your gf will love it drool.gif )

Don't keep watch on weight, but watch yourself at the MIRROR ! icon_rolleyes.gif

All you need is FAT LOSS !
