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?

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.

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..

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

Lol i understand how u feel..same goes here..stuck at 96kg due to lots of rubbish food intake..overall managed to lose 18kg since i started few months ago..18kg more to go..haih long uphill battle it will be..

Yesterday started taking whey protein..lets see how well it goes

definitely not. i use it as post-workout supplement. will update on this in the next few weeks.

Not sure about muscle gain coz not sure how to measure. But definitely helped in breaking weight loss plateau. Stucked at 96. As of today 94.7. That is around 1.3kg already since i started.

Not really. Basically everything remains the same. Just some cardio plus rojak weightlifting. Hahaha

Btw today i started stronglift. Super intense to my ability. Will see how it goes along the way.

Haha cardio is a pain in the arse, especially for an obese like me. But i deal it with hiking. Every sunday i go up bukit gasing in pj. At first surely la almost died. Now my body is able to adapt to cardio. Run for 2 or 3 km straight no problem though im literally still under the obese category.

Honestly the 1st thing u should do is less eating out, at least at those sugar bombs. Be very selective. Less processed food, canned stuff. And yes its gonna be expensive to eat healthy. But u'll make your way around.

Doesnt necessarily hv to be organic stuff all the time..just study the correct portion of everything u eat. U may enjoy all your regular food, but know their calorie first. Hehe

Quite hard especially in malaysia. And if u go over ur calorie limit, just hit the gym. Lol

not sure of pre workout..but i read somewhere if u mix whey + oat, can help in slowing down digestion during sleep.
