A small-sized girl successfully lost 12 jin (6 kilograms) in three months, with before-and-after pictures for comparison. This is for myself, for love~ (Updated on November 19, 2010, until I reach 80 jin) I don't know how to describe my feelings, mostly anger... Today, as soon as I logged onto Bohemian, a sister informed me that my post had been reposted on Taobao, advertising weight loss pills. I was truly speechless. They directly copied my post and shamelessly used it for weight loss pill advertisements. Not only that, but I accidentally included a few pictures with my boyfriend, which was so frustrating! This society is so dark; people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, completely disregarding the infringement of others' rights. I always thought Bohemian was a warm place, but now such things have happened here. I don't know if Bohemian will step in to protect our rights, I can only say that I am very disappointed! Seeing the sisters in the forum sharing their experiences, I'll also share mine~
It seems like I started gaining weight after starting university. I used to be around 90 jin, but after starting school, I began to gain weight. Last year during the Spring Festival, I was close to 100 jin. Without going into too much detail, let me first show you some pictures from that time. That belly, those breasts were really scary...
What truly motivated me to lose weight was when I went out with my boyfriend during the Spring Festival. When I looked back at the pictures we took then, I was really hit hard. I always thought I was just a bit chubby, but those pictures really shocked me and made me feel insecure for a while.
Below are the pictures. Honestly, these are photos I wouldn't even show others because they're embarrassing. Now, I'm sharing them to motivate everyone else~
Girls all have little thoughts about wanting a good figure and looking pretty so that their boyfriends can be proud to take them out. I’m no different. But every time I talked about losing weight, he would say "it's okay, not too fat," and I believed him until I saw those pictures. Only then did I realize how fat and ugly I was back then. Looking at those pictures was really discouraging.
At first, I didn’t care since he didn’t seem to mind, so I felt justified in being overweight. Later, during the second semester of my sophomore year, I had more free time and suddenly decided to lose weight. I set a goal and started my weight loss plan. Around late April, I began losing weight. At first, I didn't know how to do it, so I tried the 3-day apple diet method. By the third day, my face was pale, I had no strength, and once I ate again, I gained the weight back, so it wasn't effective. Later, I started going to the gym, about 3-4 times a week. Generally, I would brisk walk for half an hour, jump rope for half an hour, and sometimes ride a stationary bike. After exercising, I would massage for half an hour to relax and then shower. Although it was tiring, it was fulfilling. Regarding my diet, I controlled it by eating less at night, usually just fruits or porridge, saving higher-calorie foods for breakfast and lunch. In the first month, I lost about 7 jin, and the effects were quite noticeable.
This picture was taken on the computer at school, and I was around 86-87 jin. I didn't look too fat anymore.
In the second month, due to exams, I exercised less frequently, usually jumping rope twice a week for about half an hour to 50 minutes each session. My diet control wasn't as strict either because I needed energy to study. In June, I lost about 3 jin. In total, over two months, I lost 10 jin. For someone short, losing 10 jin makes a significant difference. When I returned home, my mom was very surprised because she always thought I couldn't lose weight. I was secretly thrilled!
On April 3rd, I was above 95 jin, and by July 12th, I was around 86 jin. The difference was quite obvious.
After returning home for the summer, I ate better and exercised less, but I still went out for a walk almost every evening, usually for one to two hours. Sometimes I jumped rope for half an hour, so there was still some effect.
For dieting, it’s important to eat multiple small meals. For snacks, I recommend fruits. Sisters, while losing weight, please pay attention to nutrition and don’t just eat one type of food. Change it up to avoid malnutrition.
There are many ways to lose weight, but the key is persistence. Don’t eat too little, as it can cause binges and make your complexion worse. Exercise is still the best way. Stick to it, and success will come. The above is my personal summary of experience. If there’s anything wrong, everyone can point it out~
Here are some recent pictures of me. On July 25th, my face still looked chubby, but I’ll keep working hard~
My boyfriend used to say it was fine if I didn’t lose weight, but after I slimmed down, he seemed happy and even said he’d reward me. It turns out he was trying not to discourage me before, and I foolishly accepted it. I’m really slow-witted.
I’ve seen many posts on Baidu forums where girls were dumped by their boyfriends because they gained weight. Although I wasn’t dumped, if I continued gaining weight, it probably would have ended tragically. Luckily, I've lost some weight now. For ourselves, for love, sisters, we need to work hard~
In these three months of losing weight, my body hasn’t had any issues, but after reading many sisters’ posts, I’ve become more cautious. Now, I almost daily eat dates and almonds, drink milk, and often eat kiwis to supplement Vitamin C. I haven’t gained the weight back yet, and I’m still adjusting. Soon, I’ll start a healthier basal metabolic rate control method for weight loss and hope it works~
PS: Some mentioned that jumping rope might reduce breast size. Jumping rope does reduce breast size. I used to be a 75C, now I’m a 70B. However, my chest wasn’t small before, and now becoming a B doesn’t bother me. For those with smaller chests, jumping rope may not be suitable. I saw a post suggesting wearing a sports bra specifically designed for jumping rope, or wearing two bras inside. As for claims that jumping rope makes legs thicker, I haven’t noticed this. My thighs have reduced significantly, but the muscles on my calves are harder to lose. I’m still researching this~
For those who binge eat, like I used to, it’s easy to overeat and feel full, which enlarges the stomach. My stomach is still relatively large now. In my dormitory, we have lots of snacks, but I only eat a little bit each day. I suggest those who tend to binge buy snacks they don’t particularly like and are expensive, making it harder to overeat. Over time, resistance to food increases. Now, I don’t crave snacks as much, and I control the quantity I eat without being overly restrictive.
The following three pictures were taken on August 28, 2010, and I seemed to be around 83 jin~
My back is still quite thick~
On September 23, 2010, at Binjiang Park, I seemed to be around 81 jin. Two weeks ago, I reached a low of 79 jin, but in the past two weeks, I’ve slept more and eaten more, so I’ve gained weight again. I’ll continue to work hard~
Since my face is big, it looks fatter, and I still appear quite chubby~
Below are pictures taken during the National Day holiday in Nanjing, and I seemed to be around 82 jin~
Being thin improves my mood. Recently, I got a haircut, short hair~
Below are pictures taken on November 13th during a trip to Zhouzhuang. My expression is a bit ugly, but you can see my whole body. Everyone, bear with me. I don’t really have a waist, so I’ve decided to return to the gym. My target is 80 jin. I can’t be lazy. Winter is the easiest time to gain weight, so everyone needs to persevere~
I know many want to lose weight quickly. Initially, motivation is high, but later, during the plateau period, confidence wanes, and people start to slack off. Sisters, stay calm and persist. Don’t skip exercise, even though it’s tiring, it will be fulfilling, and after forming a habit, it’s easier. It’s also good for health. I suggest not eating too little, as it’s really bad for the body, causing hair loss. I once experienced facial allergies due to eating too little, leading to unbalanced sebum secretion. After adjusting for a while, my skin recovered. I suggest healthy weight loss. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Life should be enjoyable. If you’re constantly upset about eating too much, that kind of life isn’t as pleasant as being a happy fatty.
Also, I hope everyone supports me a bit more~ Hehe~ I haven’t reached my goal yet, so I’ll keep working hard. Once I reach 80 jin, I’ll post another photo~ Hehe~
Please give me a thumbs up below, hehe~
I deleted all the pictures with my face because I found my post was used on Taobao to advertise weight loss pills. It’s helpless and infuriating!!
I’m hesitant to jump rope because I’m afraid it will make my already small chest even smaller…
