    Today's weight 61.9 kg. Losing too slowly. I walked twice this week. I don't like walking because I burn very small calories. I walked for 45 minutes last night and burned 160 calories only :(

    Yes walking doesn't burn much if you are targeting a certain amount and have limited time a HIIT workout might be better. Or you can turn it into a jog with some sprints. I guess what I mean is are you walking as you want too or is it just to burn some Kcal.

    I walk for burning some calories. I am not sure if I could do a HIIT workout because I'll be out of breath easily, I am out of shape :( I thought walking would be a good start but the amount of calories burned aren't worth the time and effort :smiley:

    Gotta start somewhere! I’m always out of breath when I work out lol!!! Start off doing easier hiit workouts and you will get there :) it’s uncomfortable and awful at first, the whole out of breath thing, but it gets better!

    Good morning! Scale showed 61.4 kg today. I'm going on a vacation in 3 weeks, I'm hoping to lose 2 kilograms until then. I tried some of my size 36 jeans from last summer and they fit. But my denim shorts are still very tight. I don't know why I can't fit into the shorts, they are the same size with the jeans :/

    2kg in 3 weeks really is a lot....don't you think.....maybe try 1kg.....it that and then see what extra you can get on top

    I probably won't lose that much anyway. It is just a wish :D

    Try and set a realistic but good target then if u over achieve extra happy....as opposed to a target that your unlikely to meet.

    all gone a bit quiet on here......I was ill last week which is why I didn't update......also explains most of my drop to 83.8kg. This is a much bigger drop than I wanted tbh and I am worried about decrease in muscle mass, but at least I am seeing noticeable reductions of fat around mid sections.

    Ok so looks like I am now alone.....I hope @kimikinsx3 doesn't mind me taking over her thread.

    This week training plan has changed a little and I was only able to box once (vs three times last week) kcal unchanged so might explain the small uptick.
