Hi Lemon8, I'm back after more than a year! What you're seeing is what I've consumed today, 2 March 2026. I'm really trying here 😆
So I've gained a ton of weight since getting married. When my hubby and I started dating, I was about 58kg.
Couple days ago, I did a weigh-in and APPARENTLY, I'm now 68.1kg 😅🫠
I've been building muscles at the gym, doing progressive overload for most of my exercises. My leg press is now 100kg 🥰 Quite proud of myself for getting stronger!
But while gaining muscle mass increases one's weight, I could certainly cut some fat – especially from my stomach.
Sitting at work, eating out, snacking and building muscle mass, these are some things that caused my weight gain. Sooo...here's my plan!
1. Move more. Hot girl walks every morning before work, starting small at a minimum of 4k steps.
2. Meal prep. Not all meals, but at least 30% of my meals. Beats 100% of eating out amirite?
3. Portion control of sweet treats / snacks.
4. Zero sugary drinks.
So this is the beginning of a new journey. I don't have a goal weight at the moment, but I know I wanna see that weighing scale number go 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯.
Do you guys have any tips to cut weight? Let me know in the comments down below, I'd love to hear from ya :) Till next time!
... Read moreSharing what I consumed today reflects my commitment to a healthier lifestyle and weight loss journey. Starting with plain yoghurt topped with frozen raspberries and a banana, I focused on nutrient-dense, low-calorie foods to fuel my body without excess sugars. Accompanying this was soy milk with zero added sugar, which helps provide protein and calcium without extra calories.
For lunch, I chose a balanced meal including carrot mixed frozen vegetables and frozen chicken gyozas, combining protein and fiber to keep me full longer. Later, I enjoyed rotisserie chicken and boiled potatoes, which offer good protein and energy while staying mindful of portion sizes. As a treat, I allowed myself Awfully Chocolate’s dark chocolate cookie, a reminder that occasional indulgences can fit into a healthy diet if controlled.
In addition to food choices, I’m incorporating gentle yet consistent exercise, including hot girl walks every morning targeting a minimum of 4,000 steps to boost metabolism and burn fat. Combining muscle-building workouts like leg press with progressive overload techniques helps increase lean muscle mass, improving overall metabolism and body composition.
Meal prepping about 30% of my meals ensures I avoid the pitfalls of eating out too often, which can lead to consuming more calories than intended. Portion control of sweet treats and zero sugary drinks further support my fat loss goals by eliminating empty calories.
From personal experience, small lifestyle changes build up to significant results. Tracking what I eat and staying active keeps me motivated as I see strength gains and gradual fat loss. If you’re embarking on a similar journey, try to include a mix of balanced meals, hydration, movement, and realistic treats. Consistency and patience are key – the scale might not move every day, but your body is adapting and becoming healthier over time.
