welcome to d club.. and we'll see ur progress over 6 month

we have another girl joined the H&F section:clap: ...welcome to da club Kira...let's work hard together...

Kira name looks like deathnote punya Kira...waoh dont write my name on ur death note plzzz i wanna die after i successfully achive my goals...

Actually my nick - Kira Kracus - it's from an RPG I played once .. Neverwinter Nights. Though I do like Death Note ..

Updated my day 1 - not so good (diet and workout) but at least I started in with a workout. Damn malu if I didn't get any workout in after starting the journal .. so at least it works .. hee!

U lift weights eh. Not afraid of becoming big n muscular?

It's high reps - non-stop for 5 to 6-min intervals. High reps, low weight versus low reps, high weights?

Plus women don't have testosterone so no chance at bulking up like guys. I should know since when I was a teen I did lots of weights for swimming - which didn't help much, i still had weak arms .. lol.

You've learnt well, young Padawan. I was just teasing you

Here's a thought = spot reducing is a myth, why bother with high repping? most probably it will destroy muscle than reduce fat

dunno how u did achieve some weight loss over the years. better not by fad diet. it is some sort like "the more u lose, the faster u gain back" .

for long term weight loss, it is important to enjoy the process and not starve urself. the key to success is PERSISTENCE .


so many weight loss journals, dunno who is the champion of
i) body fat drop
ii) weight loss

THIS GIRL KNOWS HER STUFF! DONT MESS WITH HER!

Bleh. No we're just left with Canopies and his prisoner's shake.

dude u guys are mean man

stop teasing the champion
omg, 15kg in 3 months

canopies has really good attitude and high EQ (he is not defensive to ppl's mock) .

In those two categories, I am nowhere la. But my reduction of 8" of waistline in 6 months, is not too shabby
Syd, you lost to Canopies the champion! jou suxxxorzz hehe

I think anyone who can have any kind of weight loss - whether 2 kg or 8 kg in x amount of months .. rules!!!

About spot-reducing, I don't think these "Get Ripped" workouts are spot-reducing. Because you're going at it for that full chunk of time .. that your heart rate goes up. You don't put the weights down or stop at all in each segment - hence the pulses and holds totally kill you. At the end of that 6 minutes, after a quick intro (of about 30 seconds) you're onto the next one.

If you can build up to that full 60-minute workout .. apparently you're supposed to burn up to 1,000 calories!! I'll be happy if I can reach 30 minutes by the end of this week.

Will also try to supplement with walks around the neighbourhood after work ...

Question .. should i post my daily stuff at the end of the day (or the day after)?

end of the day or the day after is the same la. u just have to keep track of what u r doing so u can refer later on and use it as a motivation.

and no exercise is spot reducing. u wana work away your tummy u have to workout your hole body. thats the rule

This is not a pervy-question but .. do you take progress pics? What do you wear? Guys can answer too but it's mostly for girls of course How often do you keep track - weekly/monthly?

Ditto with weigh-ins and measurements. Weekly or leave it to monthly. I tend to weigh myself every day - because there's a feeling that if I miss one day then it may snowball i.e. you not knowing how much you weigh or how bad it is - so i'd rather have that "check" each day.

try not to weigh everyday coz weight can fluctuates greatly...u can gain/lose lots of water weight in a matter of hours or even minutes (after sauna )...hmm...maybe try to weigh once a week? or every 2 weeks?

You must take the "before" pics. 6 months to 1 year down the road, once you have made significant progress, you can use the "before" pics as motivation for not wanting to go back to that unhealthy lifestyle before. It will keep you motivated to keep the strict diet and keep hitting the gym.

When taking the "before" pics, don't try to hide the fats by wearing a lose shirt.
So please post your topless "before" pics in the first page of your journal.
