I started dieting on 1st December 2015 and will reach my 1st wieght goal, 90 kgs, this week or by end of April. So far, I've lost a total of 14 kgs. However, after that I don't really know what my next goal should be.

I've got a few good habits, e.g. exercise 3 times a week and plan on continuing them. Since last week, i've added 2 more exercise sessions to my plan, making it 4-5 times a week with 3 cardio session of 60mins and 1-2 stregth training of 10mins if i can. I just started the strength training, so it might take a while before getting to 30+ mins lol

Any good advice on what to do next would be great. I don't really plan on getting huge muscle etc. just lose some more fat and get a little leaner.

Thanks in advance :)

    I'm close to reaching my first goal as well. I've already decided that I want to lose another 15lbs once I hit my goal. When I set it, I set it for my low before I had my daughter (11yrs ago). But in this journey, I found that I'm stronger than I thought when I made my goal. So now I want to go a little lower and start doing some more strength training to get myself more fit.

    Thanks. I guess I'll try something similar too. And maybe work my way to get more fit e.g. Improve my strength training.

    You say this but then seem to answer your own question when you go on to say this:

    You seem to want to improve your body composition (the ratio of fat to muscle you have.)

    Therefore:

    1. Suitable calorie deficit (250 - 500 cals per day)
    2. Solid resistance training programme, 3 - 4 sessions a week
    3. Cardio according to preference and results (could be as little as none)
    4. Focus on reasonable protein intake
    5. Consistent effort
