How I lost 40 Kg – Tips for Losing Weight

This is a really embarrassing post, but whatever.

I found Colin’s diet contest thingy sometime when I was reading about Rails, 9rules and 37signals, I’m not sure what led me there but I thought this should make a refreshing post to my blog.

To keep it short, I used to weight 125 kg when I was friggin’ 16! That’s a whole 275 pounds. It was completely absurd. I’m 187 cm tall, that’s 6′ 1.6″, so 125 kg wasn’t right at all.

8 months later, I’m 87 kg, jumping like a monkey, happy like there’s no tomorrow.

So what did I do? Now, you have to understand that I’m neither a professional trainer nor am I a doctor, so you probably shouldn’t take this too seriously, especially not when its life-threatening or something. Here are a few tips and conclusions from my experience:

  • If you want to lose weight start now! Not next week, not tomorrow, but right now. Throw away that tasty candy, get rid of all greasy food, and go out jogging.

  • Special diets never work. Ever. If you lose your weight by following a diet, you’ll gain it back in just a few months. You need to eat, your body needs every type of food, from healthy vegetables to fat slobby hamburgers from time to time.

  • Eat properly. Get rid of your snacks and in-between-meals pleasures. Have three meals a day, make the last one bread and sugar-free.

  • Breakfast is the most essential meal, make sure you have it. It has to have everything, meat, milk, bread, vegetables and if you really feel like it you can have some sweets.

  • Don’t believe the myths of no-juice, no-fruit, non-fat diet cheatsheets. You can eat all you want, as long as it’s on breakfast. By the end of the day, your body simply burns and gets rid of the excess.

  • Try not to lose more than 1 kg per week. Excessive weight loss can be damaging, and you end up gaining more eventually.

  • Exercise, exercise, exercise. I can’t stress it enough. The basic idea is to burn a tiny bit more calories than what you consume. Once you start, get rid of the scales and start tracking your progress with a mirror. You wanna look good after all, don’t you?

  • Mass weight adds up to fat weight, remember that. When you start to exercise you lose lots of weight, but then you stop at a point where you can’t lose any more. That’s mass. If you’re exercising properly you’ll end up gaining more weight, but that’s good weight.

  • Heavy-lifting and body building shape a figure, but they don’t help you burn fat. 20-30 minutes of daily cardio (or sex) do. That’s how you can get those tight abs, burn fat.

  • Though I lost weight by doing body building, I used to do three out of four sets with light weights, the fourth set was extra heavy just to make me feel good (see point below).

  • Make sure you’re happy, even if it’s on the expense of your diet. If that means you just have to have that snickers in the morning, then by all means do it. If you start getting depressed, you’ll never lose weight, you’ll end up eating more.

  • Passion is a like a snowball, once you start working out you’ll start liking it, automatically eating less, and your body will choose the food for you so follow your cravings.

  • Don’t worry, you look fabulous.

  1. I’m part of the contest with almost the toughest mission,
    oround 27KG to lose, 2 of them are alreay gone and still
    counting.

    Helpful tips, simple and direct, I wish you won’t need them in
    the near future, I gain these extra 30 KG since I moved to UAE
    4 years ago, and as I understood from your blog that you moved
    here too, but I think you already have a system for yourself
    and won’t fall in the trap of extra weight again ;) good luck
    and thanks…

  2. It’s not really a system, it’s just proper nutrition, and I
    have to admit that I gained a little weight here. Emirates’
    weather isn’t the best for taking a jog on the beach.

    Good luck with your contest, though I’m sure you won’t need it.

  3. Hey, this is good advice. I’ve been approaching my weight loss
    the same as you and Chris Pirillo. I’ve been just making small
    changes to my life style (eating right, exercise). All the
    changes I feel like I can live with. I don’t think I could
    revert if I tried. So far I have lost 20lbs.

  4. You’re right, the whole point is to change a person’s
    lifestyle and not just lose weight.
    The good thing is, once you’re used to it, it’s very difficult
    to go back.

  6. True true, I agree we have to make changes to our eating habits and add workouts. I started out at 86kg 16 months ago. I lost 18kgs after 12 months. My weight reached its plateau at 68kg for a while. However, I started on an hour aerobics 6days a week and tried my very best to leave carbos out during dinner. I had lost another 6kg to this date. I am very happy with my progress but I will give a different approach to my workout. To lose another 2kg in another 3 weeks. I will have belly dancing classes + high impact aerobics sessions to my workout. I hope this will move my scale to 60kg soon. Best of luck to all of you and me too. hehe.

  9. Good stories.
    i did the same thing, went on a diet, and the thing is: Have a good filling breakfast, at lunch eat half size of your breakfast, and have dinner only size of a knuckle and best is not to have dinner after 6 oclock. Eat healthy stuff, chocolate and cheese is good in small quantities.
    I started boxing and now i do 3 times a week 2 hour workout and i run 3 times a week and stretch every morning, pushups, sit ups, about 5 sets each of 30.
    the result is 3 months ago my weight was 69.5 kg, now IM 65.3 kg, and that s not even diet just food that i feel like eating and good excercises.. also my height is 172cm or 5 8′ feet

  12. Sarah, this isn’t a system, it’s just a few tips. It worked for me, so I thought I’d share it.

    By the way, since you’re 157, I think you should weight 47 and not 40. But then again, a mirror and a nutritionist are your best judges.

  14. I just want to say some things about losing weight…

    I am 17 years old, i am 189cm tall and i used to weitht 135kg and now i am 94kg and keep loosing weight andi want to help u all in starting or continuing your diet.
    1) Eat all kinds of foods (proteins, vegetables, fat, even sugar and candies in small amounts though) i used to eat almost only proteins without vitamins and the rest, so i started loosing my hair (reversable situation, but uncomfortable)

    2) Work out regularly and quit smoking (i did both of these, and i feel better than ever)

    3) Lose weight at a small pace. I lost 41+ kg’s in less than 5 months. The result is that my skin has made “wrinkles” that are quite antiesthetic (although they can be fixed by using special creams)

    4) If you want to eat something fatty, it’s better to eat it in the morning, instead of eating it before going to bed.

    5) Never forget to excercise, it’s good both for your health and for your look (belive me, if you workout for 2 weeks, difference can be easily seen)

    Theese are my advice about how to lose weight (i may be wrong cause i am not a doctor or sth, but i have personal experience on dieting) sorry for my bad English cause i am a bit drank (just got home from a club, celebrating my whole new not fat life :) (unbelivable great feeling)

    P.S LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE INSTEAD OF THE PROTYPES OF TODAY!!!

  18. Hey..I’ve read all the posts..you know I lost 6kg in about 2 weeks just eating one thing the whole day..ha ha..i mean i had only potatoes the one day,the other was only eggs..or fish,meat..whatever..but that’s it for the day,nothing else.I think it helps.I was 73kg and needed to lose 10kg,well i lost 6,now i gained 2,but I’m starting my “diet” tomorrow and i hope to lose 6 more.I suggest you,because it’s easy,but remember drink a lot of water maybe 2l or 2.5l a day..and walk..it may be just a simple walk but min 30minutes a day.It depends on the organism,but I can assure you that it won’t harm you if you try ;)

  19. I totally agree with this.I am facing the same overweight problem infact i started with a similar program 4 weeks ago.I was 94Kgs now i am 87.8Kgs.I feel good and confident to loose the extra 10Kgs soon.
    here is my diet
    mornig breakfast:
    2 slides brownbread with little honey
    One Egg without yolk
    Melon or any fruit bowl sometimes i add orange juice(unsweetened).
    Tea (no sugar)..got used to it :)

    For lunch again 1 slide or Brownbread,
    chicken grilled 1 small piece with some gravy very small quanitity.
    Bowl of salad – includes lettuce,carrot,cucumber,some olives at times some mushrooms,tomato.(without any dressing just little salt and vinegar or little curds instead.) i drink lots of water during lunch.
    Evening just a cup of tea with my fav biscuits like hobnobs or marie(just 1 or 2 of them).
    and then straight to dinner with salad(same as above)and 1 brownbread with some cooked veggies.

    in the night i do eat some fruits like orange,plum,peach etc.I try to avoid bananas etc.
    it helped me hope it helps you guys too.

    i weighed in at 80kg today. 18 months ago i was 120kg! i’ve lost the 40kg just by walking. i eat kfc, drink 2 much coffee, and so on… – but, you WILL lose a lot of weight if you take a walk every morning and/or every night. :)

  21. Very inspiring stories. I weighed 94kgs. After four months, I am now at 86kg. I am 162cm tall and my ideal weight should be 65kg according BMI…but my preferred ideal weight is 80kg, 75kg perhaps for buffer (I’m not doing it to be slim or skinny). I achieved this by walking 30mins every day and avoided eating unecessarily. steadily, I’ve been losing 2kg per month. I am in no rush to achieve my target and besides, it’s better to lose weight slowly to avoid having excess loose skin. In another 3 months, I would have achieved my target…but the walking will continue.
    I’m so encouraged by the success stories here and all the best to all.

  33. A word of encouragement for anyone trying to lose weight…. it si very possible. I hated looking at myself in the mirror last year. I weighed 120 kg in January 2010 and today (17 August 2010) as I’m sitting typing this, I weigh 76 kg. I’m 161 cm tall and I’m aiming to weigh between 68-70 kg. It hasn’t been easy but with the strong will power and hard work I managed not to give up. Good luck everyone.

  36. Hi Yolande & Dums

    You can email me on nozipho_zulu@yahoo.com and we’ll talk. I can even show you my before and after pictures just for encouragement. All I can say is, I dont like specially designed diets, so I havent been following any diet. Just been eating only when I’m hungry, gave up on all junk food. I eat only what my body needs, not what I want or desire. I go to the gym 6 days a week, normally treadmill for 45 mins, bike for 20 mins and cross trainer for another 20 mins. It was hard at the begginning but I have adjusted perfectly now and I’m still losing weight. From the 120 kg that I weighed, I now weigh 74.5 kg. If I can do it, so can you.

    ReplyReply
  37. Thank you so much, i am following your advice, still have a long way to go, but I’m feeling optimistic. My partner is very happy as sex is my favorite exercise:) Seriously, you are changing lives!

    Heyy, IM 13 yrs old and I way 90kg and Im 5ft 6. I do try to lose weight by dieting but every year I gain weight mainly becuase im bullied because of the way i look and its mostly guys who bully me and it was one of my closest child hood friends who bullied me and now his younger brother bullies me too. I do try to stay positive but when I went on my last diet I lost 18kg in a month and I brought it back on after my cousins wedding . I was on holiday then and i wanted to look amazing, but because everyone was eating I ate with them too…Major MELTDOWN…Im really self concious of myself and I dont like standing near guys or talking to them or anything because im scared that they’ll be just like other guys. I do also blame my weight because i overeat, not because i mean to overeat but I comfort eat when someone bully’s me which makes it even worse… I really need a diet that i can stick to because my dietition says that if i dont lose weight before i turn 14 then it will be harder for me to lose weight… I really need your feedback. Thank you!

  59. Hi,
    I want to loss 40kilos in 6 months but in case I fail, a within a year at most. I am 24 weigh 96kilos and am 1.6m tall. I have always been the fat one in the family. I have tried different diets but all seem to fail. This time, I don’t want to look at it as a diet, but a proper life style change. Something sustainable & I can live with. No pills, shakes whatsoever.
    Anyone with good advise on how I can achieve this with exercise please do advise. I would appreciate a eating plan with an exercise plan as well.bby 30 June 2012, I want to be 56kilos. Am tired of caring this baggage around. I can’t seem to have fun n it’s frustrating me. My love life has even been affected. Even when I meet someone, I feel like they won’t like me coz am too big. I have decided to put my school on hold so that I can loss weight for the 1st 6 months of the year. I find it difficult to study(CFA), work a full time job and go to the gym 5 or 6 times a week in order to loss the excess weight.
    Anyone with good ideas, please email me on; mbiriphiri@gmail.com
    Thank you.

  65. After 7 years of increasing weight I’ve now lost 17.5kgs, no structured diet or formal support. Although I’ve tried so many times over the years unsuccessfully somehow it clicked. Walking daily listening to music n my thoughts, mindful of my posture n positive self talk helped me to begin a routine. Protein became my friend n no carbs from the arvo onwards. Water water water. Walking turned into hill climbing then RPM classes at the gym 4 times a week plus weights. The routine of exercise as a lifestyle has been my savior, but moreso understanding why food became so soothing for me. It was like my best and worst friend for a long time. I used it to help process my vulnerabilities. Now I try and hold that part of myself in a different way and not push it down with food. I wish so much success for all those trying to find themselves again under the weight. When your ready not to need it anymore emotionally just start walking, walk the emotions out of you daily, eat mindfully, drink heaps of water n start to love yourself again :)

  72. Hello,
    I’m 15 turning 16
    I weighed myself at 123.1kg this morning, I have numerous medical conditions which doctors bieleve leads to my over eating, I eat when I’m bored, full and when I’m hungry I eat heaps, I hate the way I look, only sometimes, it doesn’t bother me other times, when I weigh myself thats when it gets me down, like today, I plan to wall every morning and night, well I plan to, I really want to loose weight but I’m scared of going into my own ways, IM scared that I could die. I worked out that I’ve gained 23kg in a year, that hurts so much, I have had exercise equiptment and I sometimes use them, I never used to eat as a child, I was a stick, I think moving everywhere when I was young, and away from my dad and mum moving us state to state to date guys, had an effect on me, because that’s when it all started. When I hit 11-13 that’s when the weight came rushing in, im covered in stretch marks, I want to change, I’m addicted to soft drinks, I have drunk diets softdrinks but I’m back into my old high suger softdrink, I’m going to take what all you say and start tomorrow, I’ll wake up at 4am and go walking before school. I thank you all for starting me on this journey. I cook dinner for my brother and mum, I serve my own food, I always pile on the potato veg and meat, time to change. Thanks everybody xxx

  79. IS IT SAFE TO RUN WHEN YOU STAND 6’1.5 & WEIGH LIKE A 125kg?

    I have to say this blogpost has really instilled a new energy in me.
    I was 18yrs old & weighed 116 kg, I lost 22 of them and was in the 90′s for quiet sometime.
    Today I’m 24yrs old, standing 6’1.5 & weigh 125. :-(

    It’s going to be a tough uphill task … not sure if i’ll be able to do it.

    But once again I’d like to know if it’s safe to run when you weigh 125 ?

IM 30 yrs 108kg at 5.9′… i’ve been fat since 18 yrs old but since last couple of years was thinking to cut off my belly and butts.. i tried to do workout one day in gym 2 years back but i got so tired and it was very embarrassing.. i couldnt even lift a 5kg dumpbell on biceps.. since then i had a fear of going to gym and all the embarrassment infront of gym mates..
    but i keep on pumping my spirit to do it again.. since last 10 days i started to do slow excercises in my room where no one could see me.. 1rst it was pain full, even now i cant do a good set of push ups completely.. but i keep on doing it .. 3 days back i bring dumpbell, barbel and chest rod with baisc weights.. i was afraid of doing weight training for my previous experience.. but i started on day one..it was pain full but good.. next day i rested of muscle soreness.. then today i did a very good workout.. i was feeling the energy in my muscles.. and after i was done.. it was like im young again..
    my fear is gone.. and tommorrow im going to join gym..

  84. @georges barakat: hi 1st of all ishould appreciate you to putting a step forward to reduce your weight . you said your are 137 kgs right!!!. ok first thing you should a weighing machine which should show in kg.gms(0.00) ..lets start . you know one thing you should take right balance food 1)i.e is for one day you should take 1800kcal for a day.
    2)In this you should take calories in the form of protien.
    3)The way of eating should be in 5 portions.
    4)The intake should be low carb food, high in protien, no or low fat.,no oil,no sweet, ok.
    5)for every kg of weight it requires 1 gm of protien , so you can calculate by weight x gram.
    6)before eating you check your weight with point after finish eating you should not weight more than 650 gms. 1 glass of waater = 200gms.,
    7)incase if you weight more do surya namaskar 6 sets it will reduce 97.6 kcal. or 15 to 29 min of walk. maintain your weight.

    definetly you can see wonder.

    you should drink lots of water.,for 60 kgs you should drink 3 liters of wwater you can calculate your weight.,

    incase if you are not full you can have cucumber(k60cal), popcorn 20kcal lemon juice., butter milk(1 sppon of curd 20m=100 ml of water very dilute(10Kcal).

    try to finish before 7.00pm or even before its goood. try too drink some water ., do 20 min of cardio + yoga and some strenches you will feel fresh. if you want too eat chicken and fish not fried one you take grill chicken. you can take 150gms of chicken full protien + salad. if you do all this stuff defiently you will 8-10 kgs intiall month then 4 kgs every month. it will be difficult for two days later you will enjy it . best of luck…..

  94. I was 136.5 kilos in September 2011, I gave up my regular diet of burgers, pizza’s and chocolates and began eating good foods, meat and vegetables every night, plenty of vegetables. In fact I have not had one takeaway meal since last September and there has not been one instance that I regret eating something. I starting exercising, walking mainly, I don’t jog because I have asthma and cannot get far but I can walk forever if I wanted to. I stepped it up in January 2012 and joined Gym and in the last month have stepped up the exercise a lot more. I am currentlly 98.1Kg’s and I am 1.6kg’s away from losing 40kg’s which I was hoping to reach before 21/9/2012. There is no quick diet, it takes hard work, plenty of commitment and you have to focus on what you want to achieve.

  105. First of all, congratulations on losing the weight.
    At 16 I weighed 102kgs. Finally someones mean fat comment struck a nerve and I went on a health kick and lost 30kgs in 9 months. I ate what I wanted and trained for a hour at the gym 6 days a week. After I reached my weight I did nothing to maintain it (stopped going to the gym) and now I’m back at 100kgs.
    I cannot stress it enough, do not stop once you have reached your goal weight.
    Yes I am posting my failure but I want people to know that it comes back and it is very hard to get motivated like that again.

    To beat the plateau you need to mix it up.
    If you are only doing cardio, do more weights or vice versa. I had the same problem after I had lost 25kgs. You need to “shock” your body.

  109. hey guys,
    it all sounds true. the more simple plan you follow, the more you lose.

    going for a walk as soon as 10 mins after meals helps a lot.plus, drink lots of water.
    donot cut any foods just try to consume less sugar and oils/ghee etc.
    results can be seen as soon as 2 weeks.

    if you canot see any change in your body shape donot get discouraged. try to focus that you donot feel breathless after a short walk as it use to happen before.

    as we have gained weight over the last few years , your body needs a few months to heal back to normal and to respond to your changes.

    the golden rules are:
    *walk every day, if possible twice
    *drink lots of water
    *less sugar and fats

    thanks

    Some good suggestions here. On the 1/1/11 I weighed in at 153.7kg (I’m 5′ 6″ male)and after exactly 60 weeks I reached my goal of losing 87kgs. For me the battle is in the head…weight loss isn’t a wish or a want – it has to became a MUST. Get the mindset right and the healthy eating and exercise will follow. I did it (with a huge hernia, asthma and bad back) – so can you.
