I'm male, 37 years old and in the 3rd week of my weight loss journey. I have lost 3 kilos (107 kg now from 110 kg) but I think I've already hit a bump and I feel my weight loss has stagnated (or I am just paranoid and frustrated!). My aim is to lose a kilo a week and my goal is to lose 30 kilos healthily in 8 months.
I'm now also counting my calories (1,2000 cal a day) as I also aim to plan a diet that would last a lifetime so that means I should enjoy what I eat (i.e. no bland stuff for me) therefore I'm also constantly searching for healthly recipies which are easy to do and full of flavours. I don't smoke and I don't dink... I just love food especially the unhealthy stuff!
I do one hour of exercise a day (5x a week) which is 2 sets of 10-min stationary bike at the start and in the end of each session (I do it slow-fast-slow-fast...), a few abdominals and a few strength training with dumb bells. I play 3 to 4 sets of doubles tennis every weekend.
I've read that in order to get rid of my belly, I have to do cardio first before aiming for the 6-pack (I not aiming for the 6-pack, I just want to lose my belly!) but to get rid of over-all fat, I have to do interval training and strength training so that I will continue to burn fat even after my workout.
There are a lot of methods out there and I'm beginning to get confused. Is anyone on the same boat? How do you do yours? Help please!
