Progress: Dropped from XL to Large

I can now confirm that Large is my new wardrobe size. The last time I can remember wearing a Large was probably 4-5 years ago. I might be around the same weight as then too. I remember weighing around 86-87kg which is roughly the same as now.

I believe whatever I am doing is working for me. I think this is a definitive progress as a few months ago I dropped from an XXL size to XL. If everything is going well I hope that in a few months I will be wearing a medium size or a tight fit sports shirt. All that is to be done is to carry on what I am doing and not to give up.

This loss of weight has mostly affected my trousers and jeans than my t-shirt. All of my trousers are too loose on me. To give you an idea, if I wear a belt on my jeans and if someone pulled my jeans down it will still go down as its barely hanging on me. Worst is that I cannot afford to pay for new trousers & jogging.

Doctor’s say

I went to the doc today, I went for a health check up. He took my weight, height, blood pressure.

He came up with a recommendation that I should lose weight from 95kg to around 80kg. I should also increase and do less weights.

So for the next 6 months I am aiming to lose 5kg every 2 months so that I reach my goal of 80kg. It is going to be hard but I think I can do it. I have quit on Coke and most sugary stuff. I also cut down on chocolate but I sometimes take it once a while so that I don’t crave it as much.

Well except for today as I was a bit under the weather so I had to take some sugar or else I would have collapsed.

This I haven’t done much at all, I was ill since Monday so I did not have enough energy for a run or anything. But if everything is ok by tomorrow I would wait until Saturday and I’ll probably do something then.

Doing weight lifting increases you weight fast

A complete weight training workout can be perf...Image via Wikipedia

I just realised how fast weight training can put KG on yourself. I dropped 2kg in 2 weeks of cardio, and when I done 1 session of weights I’ve gained 1kg back and the following day i got my 2 weeks worth of weight loss back.

So what I am going to do now is all the way to lose 5kg and do 1 session of weight lifting then another 5kg then do 1 session of weight lifting.

Or i could do light weight just to keep them firm and that is about it.

I’ll have to play around with this so that I can get a perfect .

The thing that annoys me about this is that my main goal is to lose weight but as well as tone up. Should I lose the weight and then tone up or do both at the same time and not lose actual weight? my weight is 15kg less than what I am currently.
