I was always between 50 to 55kg, now 65 to 70kg.
62kg?! Goodness. I starve myself on just sandwiches for meals 5-days a week for 1/2 a year and became only 68kg. Never went below 67kg. Now I'm back to around 71kg... :rant:
I remember how I went into the army at 42kg, and got out at 46kg. When I came back from the states, I was at 48kg, and then the doctor put me on Hismanel (spelling??) for my allergies problem and because I was having 3 meals a day at MINDEF (pre-lunch tea break, lunch and then afternoon tea break) I ballooned to 68kg in 3 months and even to 80kg some years later :slapshead: .
I wistfully pine for my lost weight of 46kg like it was my, um, lost vir...... Ah... I was so sweet and innocent then...
Trying to get it down to 60 to 65kg, shouldn't be difficult in theory, but.... :rotflmao: -

Lived in Penang for 6 months. Easy place to get used to.
Oh no, u r referring to Mom's Nyonya? How about the dim sum places like Fu Er Dai or zi char restaurants Foon wei Heong?
What happened to my fav Penang???
The good stalls and good food is still there, you just need to know where to find, and when to go. TBF, they are not having it easy controlling prices due to inflation in raw materials. -

What! See... it is possible to get to 50kg lah.

OK, let me try to get down to 65kg. It's back to healthy sandwiches again. Grrr... -
I am not exactly disciplined. I still drink alcohol, still indulge in some sinful desserts and I do love variety and good food. I hate exercising and is prone to lounging around the whole day when I have the chance.
So long as you have no major issues with your health and you are not grossly overweight, don’t be too hung up about losing weight. However, when we hit a certain age we cannot continue like when we were in our 20s or 30s. Gotta be more conscious and lead a healthier lifestyle. You may be surprised that small changes to your eating habits and activity can bring about positive results, in health, weight, and mental wellbeing.
Like LNW, I do not have a sweet tooth but I do not stay away from sugars as strictly as she does. Cut out sugary drinks, and avoid adding sugars to your beverages. Eat fruits instead of drinking fruit juice. You cook most of your own meals so you have control over what goes into your cooking.
I gave up on cardio kind of exercises long time ago. These days I do more strength and flexibility training. My only ‘cardio’ is walking the dog, at a leisurely pace these days. Dog also older liao, no longer as boisterous. So we just walk at a comfortable pace. Don’t think it even raises my heartrate beyond 100bpm at the rate we are walking these days. -

Was disgusted with CEKI nyona restaurant lor. Maybe bloggers’ rave were setups.

Tried Paradise after all the disagreeing fried stuff on our first day. Inconsistent, so can’t really rave abt them. Some meal orders were great but others were dismal - dumplings were great but their 流沙包 was not worth with rubbery bun & 流沙 that taste nothing like any duck egg yolk but taste liquidy yellow water!
Wait, there was a porridge stall along Penang road ran by an old couple worth visiting. Honestly very smooth, with lots of ingredients both fish & pork meat with other condiments. Add duck eggs too! I had it for all my morning breakfast! -
I agree with Funz.
We need to watch what we eat, control of sugars & do some form of exercises tailor to our lifestyle.
We can control our food when we cook at home. I don’t do deep fry for 95% of my meals except the occasional. I’m light on salt to help DH control his intake as he’s got high blood & high cholesterol. I use either olive oil or rapeseed oil & we typically eat white meat, but when our on meals, we don’t restrict ourselves if we’re keen for duck or beef dishes of the occasional kambing. But we’ll hv 2 veggie dishes & plenty of fruits (at least 3-5 varieties daily). I guess that’s the only sugar I take. Even for my tea, I use only honey & not in heaps. I do hv sweet tooth but under control, u like my younger days when I nvr had to worry abt weight gains no matter how much cakes I bake & eat or down tubs of my favorite ice cream. Guess I had said my goodbyes to those blissful youthful days.
An hour after meals, I’ll walk with DH. He does a longer stretch then I can manage. Ocassionally when I’m relieved fr my gardening, I’ll join him for brisk walk or explore the forest track or rail tracks. Gardening can be great wirk outs climbing, carrying heavy pots & bags of heavy soil, chopping overgrown fruit trees, etc.
I’m keeping around 48-50kg. Can still go abit slimmer I guess. -

You have to consider height too. I'm short (1.55m) - at 53kg I am in the normal range for my height. If I get to 62kg, I would be overweight! Can't compare with someone who is 1.7m, say.
Yes chief 62kg! I read quite a lot of you guys around 70+ kg though my dh is many more kgs than that. 46kg is really very thin. I remember when I was think at least 48kg when I was studying..my mom saw my picture still remember side view laughing sitting on bed and my mom say I looked like a monkey..Mom says no meat lol. At 53kg, I (think la haha) I looked trim. Now is fat!
I think 70+kg would be nice..60+kg guy I think too slim. To me la.. -

The person who loses the most weight will get a cute soft toy! I have so many soft toys at home!

I want to lose weight but no motivation. -

Yes, we definitely need to consider height! At my height, my weight is still acceptable. Try taking your BMI/health status, instead of focusing on your weight alone.

Actually, my primary reason for losing weight was to be able to wear my older pants

So happy to be able to wear them again.
But when I was 68kg, they were a bit too big for me. :oops:
Sigh. Too big cannot. Too small also cannot. Must thread the middle path.
