my body fat percentage now 20 %
b4 gym like 17 percent

waist from 32 to 34 +

talk about depressing

but frankly i aint that depressed

that's bcoz u r not overweight n ur BF % is at acceptable level (mine falls under OBESE )

how come? ur objective was to gain weight? bulk up 1st then reduce ur BF % later on...

I dont know what's wrong with my mind...weak mentality...

Arent you bulking?


Moments of desperation and depression are normal-lah, it's how you overcome it that matters. Life is all about making choices.

I just finished a bar of Toblerone over the course of 2 weeks (a bite in 2 days) - not regretting it at all cause I deserve each and every bite of its creamy goodness And it's Toblerone - real cocoa butter - not some el-cheapo Msian frozen sh*t made of palm oil.

You can sink into indulgence once a while (how about once a month?) - just remember to indulge with the right thing. Havent had ice-cream in a month? Go for a scoop of Baskin Robbins or Haagen Dasz. You'll feel soooooo much better

bulking aint supposed to bulk up on the waist lol

Syd G: Do u have stretch mark on ur arm/thighs due to weight loss? I have it and this is bothering me! I'm using Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula now...Hope will help to reduce the stretch marks.

yeah guess its unavoidable
gonna try some HIIT tomorrow

so true

Hv some in between my crotch (@ quad). The rest of the areas not so much cause am trying to fill them up with muscles as soon as possible. But then probably I didnt notice.

My body has scars, sunburns (I went to swim during raya Nov 06 - still hv lines @ my upper arm till now), hairs everywhere so probably I didnt notice the stretch marks .

Hey remember what I told u abt the gaining weight issue? My weight is at 59.x now (57.x last week, 29.x% bf) but my BF has dropped to almost 27%. PT complimented on how good I look after 2 weeks of not seeing me

Again, dont worry about the kgs so much

How does ur intervals work? 2 mins each?

if 15 mins --> 1 min 15 secs
