Week 4

Hooray, my weight progress is on track. In my opinion, it's unwise to lose weight too quickly. My goal is lasting weight loss, to maintain my new weight and shape.

Health is paramount, and so is maintaining my figure. I've learned from past attempts that while many methods promise quick weight loss, it's better for your body to adjust gradually to a new lifestyle.

This increases the likelihood of success and maintaining good health. Rapid diets that promise a loss of 2-4 pounds per week are too extreme and can leave you feeling unwell and uncomfortable in your own skin.

Eating very little over three weeks will lead to weight loss, but it's unsustainable and often leads to the dreaded "yo-yo" effect.

Rapid weight loss can also cause your skin to become too loose, especially as you age. It needs time to adapt and firm up, which can be achieved through regular exercise.

After the third week, I intensified my routine and even started a YouTube channel called "Senior Fitness by a Senior," where I share my experiences. I focus on light exercises without heavy equipment or machines; the heaviest I lift in my almost daily workouts is 2 kg, and I recommend my viewers use a half-liter or at most a one-liter bottle when necessary.

I'll share a link to my YouTube channel here. If you find it useful, please subscribe. Your support would mean a lot. "Fitness for Seniors from a Senior" - YouTube.

I reside in a pleasant but small apartment and lack a separate fitness room, yet I persist with my routine daily, and when the weather allows, I exercise outdoors in the woods. This keeps me fit and agile. A sensible diet combined with exercise works for me, and it could help others too.

End of this week: 88,0 kg
