I mentioned it briefly but I'm happy to elaborate :) I did it for approx 5 months, yes i had a structured program ( 3X a week) and i used machine, however after a month i could not afford to go yo gym so i bought a set of dumbells and barbel with different weights as well, in addition the complex i live in had access to a…

thank you so much 😊 but the recomposition did not really work with me 😫

you know! it is really interesting to hear this perspective. for me this year 2023 is still ongoing weight loss, for you, it is considered maintenance. which is not my goal at all XD! and i was wondering how will i maintain my progress when I reach my goal. because I'm apprehensive about a lot of thing, take for example a…

I have posted picture of my weigh in with dates, as for your question of recomposition, yes i did but did not work

so the whole saying that if you starve yourself then getting back to eating normally will make you gain weight is not true?

first, i appreciate your lengthy reply and your nice words and encouragement :) forgive me but I don't think I follow you here can you elaborate? Surprisingly my goal was not to maintain at all which is why I was left with feeling frustrated because despite all my efforts i did not lose weight or even change my body…

no no i was not eating 1300 -1400 for the year this happened after i talked to the second PT in the late of this year and as i mentioned i managed some days but other its not

the whole year, i never stopped ( the incidents with the PTs happened this year ) i weigh every week, i like to keep track

thank you for stopping by, I don't know if what i do is intermittent fasting but I stop eating at 6 or 7 pm, i would love to hear more info of course. I have been hearing good reviews about Uzembk so i might have them as a last resort

so in other words, I won't get any results with my routine right now? not enough hours or days or calories?

it is Frustrating, the little flab on my arms (triceps) barely changes:neutral. I guess I just don't want to make mistakes and gain weight again. I don't like fats a lot, last year I introduced fat ( in a few quantities) in my meals a little bit.

i don't think is that low, I thought when I reach 60 I will be happy about my body and how it looks but no, I still hold a lot of fat, especially in my belly and thighs. My weight is taking months right now to drop a few grams

then how do people determine their BF%? .. I feel I'm in the middle in addition, i think i will be relaxed a little bit when i reach 50 kg, thats why bulking and recompositon is a scary step for me i don't wanna to gain weight /fat

the barbell has weights ( 10 kg) on each side. yes, i track my calories using a food scale and when i have a cheat meal I also calculate the calories ( yeah sometimes it exceeds 1600). but as i mentioned im kinda confused regarding my calories since some advised me to eat at maintenance to gain muscle since I'm considered…

for the dumbells yes but i managed to buy 20Kg barbell and i try to do the exercises slowly in addition i incorporated bodyweights exercises since I'm limited

here are the answers for your question :)

you know I was really shocked and disappointed when I saw my arms! i saw hundreds and thousands of weight loss success story videos and i always see the arms first and most of them slim their arm through their journey so i thought if all these people could do it without a surgery i can but then reality hits

thanks for your input, but I don't think i follow when you said " don't hold your arm that way " if not how am i supposed to see if that hangy stuff is reduced or not. May i know why do you think tricep isolation exercises may have less effect. I mean before I used to do a dumbbell shoulder press while standing and other…

its been years since i saw this weight I always reach 70kg then bounce back so I thought i would look slimmer and leaner when I reach the 60s but i was surprised and a little disapoointed at the same time I used some weight along with cardio when i was losing weight but it appears that not even a single muscle has built…

Thank you for taking the time to explain and clarify everything in detail. I don't eat like this every day because I can barely do it for these 3 days and endure the feeling of sickness ><!!. - about your weight, is it 125lb means you are around 57kg? ( sorry I'm not used to using pounds). Sorry, I did not understand your…

actually none of these photos is similar to me .. my face is small and does not have any fat on it, since im pear shaped you can see that i hold most of the fat in my thighs , a little bit above navel area and in my arms a little as well , but thanks for sharing the YT and the link i will see them one thing is that i dont…

the clinic has a device called Inbody, which is similar to this excuse me but I have not take any pictures of myself since I was young since I'm not comfortable with my looks, I'm pear-shaped so most of the fat is stored in my thighs however i will try to find 3D body scanning tool it might help

thanks for the link i did try it and get 35% XD

I appreciate your time and comment. I am the type of person who thinks a lot, i sleep ok ( although i take a few hours before I fall asleep) but I do sleep sufficient hours. I do have some stress about the whole weight loss thing. I have struggled with weight since I was young and I have been losing weight, then getting it…

can i only know my body fat percentage through the special scales?

Honestly, i tried reading about how to approximately know my body fat percentage but it was too confusing. I don't lose 0.5 kg every week. as i mentioned for one week i can lose 0.5 kg in a week but then hold for two weeks. on the 28th of Feb, I was 68.4, and until the 15th of Feb I only lost 200g despite my working out, i…

I never considered lowering my calories to less than 1200. I never explored the reverse dieting term but to me it sounds like weight gain which i would not go that path, I'm already struggling to lose my weight. but I do have 2 times in a month a cheat meal but i don't give my self free pass ( if that considered a diet…

by the situation you mean my height and weight ratio? i think i will consider doing a blood work

I forgot to mention my age. In a few days, I will be turning 28. I don't know what is my body fat percentage, I only have a normal scale. My workout duration is [ 1 Hour ], I barely lose 0.5 kg a week since last July I barely lose 1 kg a month (sometimes in a month I lose less than 1 kg no matter what I do or change in my…
