Weight loss.

@Ruqiya my weight lost wasnt even bothering me until people start question me, some actually thought that something is wrong with me. I had to go to the doctors to get check up. Shaki bay igu rideen.

@Sultana
That's probably the reason I don't drink tea not because of sugar but the caffeine, the smell and the Strongness of the tea.
The thought of having flabby upper arms makes cringe.

@sophisticate I always look forward to your replies. Your list got me thinking I ain't even living a healthy lifestyle out of the 12 you post I'm on only following 3 or 4. I can't even remember the last time I slept more than 5 hours of sleep.#ineedtochangemylifestyle#

Hey baby blue!

I'm sure you don't want unhealthy fat. I agree with everything sophisticate mentioned. Eat protein rich food, exercise and may the force be with you.

lol @ some of the replies in here

@Antisocial Follow sophs advice, she basically covered everything. Don't think of gaining weight as a black and white thing, gain healthy weight.

If i could add one thing, it's to remember and understand how weight loss (and gain) works. If you understand how it works it makes planning easier. It's the basis of losing/gaining weight, it all starts and ends with this formula. This should be everyones starting point before planning to lose/gain weight, yet most people don't even take this into consideration. I usually see it as a mathematical equation, which it is, but you can try to visualize it whichever way makes it easier for you to understand.

• To lose weight, you will need to be on a calorie deficit. This means you have to burn more calories than you consume. Eg. You eat 1400 calories but burn 1700. You are at a 300 calorie deficit. The aim is to accumulate a large deficit at the end of the week. Thats how weight loss works.
• To gain weight, you need to be on a calorie surplus. This means you have to consume more calories than you burn. Eg. You eat 3000 calories but burn 2500. That's a 500 calorie surplus. Your aim is to accumulate a surplus at the end of the week. This is more tricky tho because weight gain comes in two forms; muscle and fat. If you take @Amun's advice and do resistance training, you can minimize the amount of fat you gain. A good surplus is 300-500 calories, anything else will just turn into fat.

ALL weight loss/gain happens as a result of those two bullet points. Weight loss/gain can not happen without a surplus or deficit in place. This can be a bit confusing, so people already created calculators that do the work for you. http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ Fill in that calculator and it outputs a value called TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). That number is just how many calories your body burns in order to maintain your current weight. For example I need to eat 2670 (my TDEE output) calories to maintain my weight. If i want to gain weight I'd add a 300 calorie surplus. Don't add too much tho, cuz it'll jus turn into fat. If i wanted to lose weight I'd subtract a 300-400 calorie deficit from 2670. These should be the first steps you take when you begin your journey of losing/gaining weight. Everything else revolves around this concept.
