hi all, need advice on maintaining weight. Started going to gym since 2nd week of Jan and my weight has decreased from 67.2kg to 60.3 kg as of this writing.

Gym session is an hour and three times a week at the very least (sometimes 4 if i'm very free). During gym, I have been doing 15-18 minutes cardio (standard HIIT) on treadmill before doing some lifting/weights. Other than this, i attended Body combat classes esp in the first 3-4 months consistently. In terms of food intake, its economic rice most of the time with meat (chicken whenever possible), Greens and my rice portion only a fistful in quantity (or even less sometimes).

I have yet to check my body fat percentage but my weight has definitely decrease but I'm starting to feel a bit worry if i'm losing weight in a healthy way

thanks

I see no problem with your exercises. What about breakfast/dinner? Do you take all of them?

Yup, my breakfast is totally not heavy at all - oatmeal breads (2 pieces with jam spreads) + instant white coffee

I think breakfast is the only time of the day where i consume sugar - i'm not the sweet tooth type who really craves sweet stuff like candies/ice cream etc - closest sugary stuff i've had is only 100 plus and thats it

Dinner is more or less same as lunch - home cooked rice with dishes (even my rice portion is little). i do have some form of comfort food (mall food/restaurant though no McDonalds at all) but its like only once or twice max during weekend when going but even so i also took care not to order large portion or seconds

That's great considering you are not skipping meals, which is a very unhealthy way of losing fat.
Sugar is ok, you need to replenish glucose level after those HIITs.
Cheat meals (fast foods) is ok too once or twice a month.

So far your way of losing fat is considered healthy.

Btw check your BMI stats to see if the weight you are currently on is normal or not.

Can it be judged based on my current weight with my height (167 - 168 cm) according to the BMI chart or i really have to check it all on the machine?

Also, will my current weight maintains if I cut down/remove my cardio and fully focus on weights/liftings to tone my muscles now that I have drop a significant amount of weight?

Thanks again

You can check based on the tables online. Actually weights is not an important issue. You can get toned and gain weight or you can get fat and gain weight.If you plan to fully focus on weight lifting, you need to eat more with a calorie surplus for muscle to recover and grow.

I would consider weight lifting to go with some cardio if you plan to maintain weight and tone your body.
