I was 135kg 6 months ago, now 115 kg with a lot more muscles. Height is 6 feet. What i did was:
1) Half my rice. I just can't get rid of my rice, just love it too much. 2) No sugar, only occasional chocolate. 3) Loads of protein. Huge chicken eater. 4) Exercise twice a day, total of at least one hour a day. Wake up immediately go jogging or elliptical machine. Get back from work, do calisthenics and weight lifting. 5) Instead of driving, i walk 5km everyday to and fro the train station. Well my fitbit says i regularly walk more than 8km a day. 6) Resist getting a girlfriend. Although losing weight has caught the attention of many many girls, I decided it would divert my attention away from my weight loss. Until I become less than 100kg, I won't get into a relationship.
I have to admit my dieting is not as impressive as others as I do still eat junk. But I'm not looking to get that cut look anyways, prefer the strongman or rugby player look. Gonna start replacing the calisthenics with gym after raya.

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Jun 10 2017, 10:04 AM) In terms of food - if that works for ya, stick with it. I don't agree on strict diets because that can easily yo-yo. When it rebound, that's when things go very wrong. Find a GF who enjoys exercise as much as you la, then she can be your workout buddy  you don't have to stay away from women or worried that it will divert your attention. In fact, you can be each other's motivation. Amitabha. Good advice. Just difficult to find a person who loves working out too since I'm currently only exercising from home. Even the gym I'm planning to go to is one of those thug gyms so don't think there'll be chicks there.

anyone here experiencing itchy skin due to weight loss? I've lost 40kg over the past 2 years and ever since then my skin has been dry and itchy , especially near my biceps and shoulder area.
Been eating clean for the past 8 months, have lots of good fat (tuna, eggs, olive oil, etc) so I don't know why my skin is so dry.

QUOTE(New Klang @ Jul 20 2018, 08:20 PM) 40kg...that is more than half my weight. What is your skin condition called? I was 140kg before. Even now at 100kg is most then "The before weightloss" for most people haha. Ok la for 186cm. Not targetting to lose more weight as i wanna build muscle. I don't know what its called, the doctors never name it. They just say it puts the lotion on its skin.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 21 2018, 12:17 PM) silence of the lambs eh  i think u can lose more la, at least another 5-10kg. Yeah definitely, would want to know what it's like to be ripped also haha. But now I'm training for a marathon this november, Penang Bridge (i don't even think i can pass but just gotta try). I don't want to cut carbs or be on a calorie deficit right now, I think after that can start la.
