Lately, I've been hooked on the programme The Biggest Loser - the determination of the participants to lose weight and how they look after the weight loss is really interesting to see. It's also given me tips on how to trim some kilos from my own body weight.
I'm not overweight though I've put on at least 13kg since high school! That's close to 30 pounds, not much if you consider that I'm in my late 30s - to console myself, I've done some calculations and have determined that I've only gained an average of 1.7 pounds per year... not too much when broken down like this. :P
However, I have a tendency to gain around the waistline and in the cheekbones. So, I look fat every time I look in the mirror or take a picture. And my metabolic rate is close to zero, which is no help at all.
So to lose weight, I've resorted to eating more vegetables and fruit and less carbohydrates and getting some exercises done. So far, I've seen a drop of some 3kg but I don't feel any different.
But slow and steady wins the race - that's my strategy in my weight loss programme. I've realised that if I were to do it too quickly, it won't be healthy and probably won't stay off for too long. I just hope that I can stick out the programme and hit my target of 13kg by end of June.
