(2) From May 1 2007, i started doing gym, which included tread mill, cycling, stretching, cross trainer, crunches under the supervision of instructor.
(3) I did considerable amount of dieting as well.
Now, as you one year has gone i am now 94 kgs which means i had lost 13 kgs in one year. I had missed one month gym due to illness and sever cold here.
Now, guys please advice me whether this is a good achievement or an ordinary one.
Honestly speaking i want to reduce till 85 kgs, loosing weight now is getting tough for me though i am regular in gym (6 days a week), i have started doing weight training also with light weights and maximum reps, but still weight is getting down so easily , actually weight reduction was always a difficult thing for me as compared to other guys whom i know who claim that they had lost 15 kgs in six months, i don't know what's the reason of my body not behaving in the expected manner may be i am not that controllable on diet , i control a lot but on weekends sometimes i eat bit sweet on weekend and little ovrload my tummy ...... but i am happy but want to reduce more ...... please advice me on this  |
Doing some math, I see that you started at a body mass index of 36 (grade II obesity) and in a years time reduced it to 32 (Grade 1 obesity). That's very good.
Your goal of 85 kg from this point by losing another 9kg should be expected to be harder than the first 13kg of weight was. But you can likely do it in a year or better.
The strength training was no doubt a help.
You mention dieting. Was it based on a planned diet of balanced meals or more of deprivation type?
Also even more important than just what you weigh is the actual body composition of lean tissue versus fat and how you look and feel. Fat loss will always be a problem if you don't have enough muscle mass for your BMI.
