His photo before and after such a morale booster.
In this journey, I learn that patience and consistent is the key.
Almost quit few times due to temptation. Slip here and there sometimes, but I learn to train to feel enough with calorie limit.

Well personally I dont mind extra weight. My health and mental health are excellent regardless of weight. BUT aesthetically speaking slim & healthy body looks way better than chubby & healthy body. SO... to live my precious life to the fullest... I will work on the aesthetic side of my life. wink.gif

Hi everyone,

Can you share what motivates you to lose weight?
Especially those struggle with obesity and overweight.

As for me, it was Covid-19. I read somewhere that someone in very young age like 34&36 years old die due to covid-19. At first I was like, okay, new virus and maybe the virus is too dangerous since it kills a lot of people. Then my good friend told me that, he knows the victim and show me the picture. He said the victim has history of high blood pressure and diabetes as well as high cholesterol. That is went the reality hit me.

I vow to avoid all the chronic disease as Im not ready to leave this world and the only way is to lose some weight, improve my lifestyle and eat all good food. However, all chaos during MCO, SOP, restricted travelling here and there distract me from losing weight.
Working as special front liner(not in Medical), those 68 days of PKP, PKPB and all keep me busy.

I work till 2-3am, waking up at 6am, skip meals and eat a lot during midnight after I went home at 12-2am. Finally I gain 5kg even though Im moving a lot during that time.
Plus extra stress dealing with various organization, lack of sleep and no exercise and then I was shocked when I weighed myself before raya(22/5/2020). So I decided from that date, That is enough. Lose my extra weight and no excuse!

I always working and I realised this is the best time for me to take care of myself. I went back to my hometown and decided to start my journey after raya. Three times I almost quit but reading a lot of of motivational stories keep me on the track.

It is not easy to start something, to get rid some of your favourite food but I believe that I can do it and all those sweat and tears along my weight loss journey will award me a good reward 5-6 months later,hopefully.

On 30/5/2020, I start my weight loss journey. On 10/7/2020, I lost 7kg and keep losing until now. It was like 200gm-600gm per day and I have a long way to go up until december; I plan to reward myself on my birthday with the New ME. I apply to work from home for three months since I work like crazy during MCO and luckily it was approved. So I will use all three months until september to work hard on my weight loss plan.

I hope for those struggle and still lost or feels demotivated in their journey, can share their motivation and who knows, we might find some strength and keep supporting each other😁
