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…

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.

[…] I have seen few blog posts with tips and diet advices that I would like to share with you, Rami Kayyali’s How I lost 40 Kg - Tips for Losing Weight and Chris Pirillo’s 50 Weight Loss Tips, they are motivating and somehow helpful but of coarse the magic comes from ourselves and our will to do it and these tips are just supporters, without our believe that we can/need to lose weight, all these diet tips or magic recipes will do nothing but letting us feel like losers instead of losing weight.

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.

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.

[…] Rami (a developer) talks about how he shed 40kgs. I’d like to share my perspective. I lost about 5kg from a relatively low base, and I really admire how Rami can lose 40, because it’s simply hard work. I’d like to share with the general reader how I managed to curb the hunger pangs. I guest blogged about it over here: How to lose weight without feeling hungry […]

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.

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

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.

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!!!

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 ;)

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.

best of luck..
cheers -zubair

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. :)

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.
