nobody@vox.com(FongToon) — Sat, 25 Aug 2007 13:14:35 +0800

The TRA Expo held last Saturday, 18 August at Meritus Mandarin Hotel turned out to be a celebration instead!

Not because my birthday is just around the corner (hint, hint haha), it is the results that our frenz have achieved after taking TRA for 3-4 months. I have got to know some of them and I can tell that they are much happier and healthier now as they can now put on the clothing that they like, enhancing their imagine, looking good, young and confident. Especially those, who took part in the TRA Superstar Testimonial Show!

One of our partners, Selenium has recorded the show and uploaded it on YouTube and posted it on her chinese blog www.seleniumchai.com. Lets sit back now and witness the success stories!

I'm 5 Years Younger!

nobody@vox.com(FongToon) — Fri, 18 May 2007 00:17:39 +0800

Stood on the OMRON Body Composition Scale and took another measurement today. And the reading goes....... Drum roll......

(a) Weight: 73.8kg (loss 4.9kg since the start of the programme!)
(b) BMI : 23.3 (dropped by 1.5 another 0.4 to reach the NORMAL category)
(c) % Body Fat : 23.9% (Reduced by 2.9%. I'm now at the mid of the ACCEPTABLE Range!)
(d) Visceral Fat (Abdominal Fat) : 8 (drop by 1 in the LOW/NORMAL risk zone still!)
(e) Waist: 86.5 cm (it was 94 cm 2 months ago!!!)

The scale also shows our body condition by converting all these measurements values to a indicator called the BODY AGE. This is what interest most of my friends.
Guess what....my Body Age has reduced by 5 years (45 to 40 y/o) in just 2 months!!!!! OK Ok ....for those who know my biological age would say that I have to reduce another 5 years in order to match it. With the results that I have achieved till date and the testimonials of many who embarked on this fat lost programme, I'm sure I'll able to meet my goals in one-month!

So call me "Uncle" while you can. But not for long...... as I'm getting younger as the day goes by !!!!!!!

"Drooling" Pics

nobody@vox.com(FongToon) — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 23:16:39 +0800

Well, this is what many of my friends have been asking for.....

You are drooling now, aren't you? You can now see the little tummy that I have been hiding so well with my clothing, ya?hahaha....At the end of the 3 month programme, i want to reduce my weight: from 78.7kg to 69kg( my ideal weight)and Body Fats%: from 24.8 to 20

Not just for aesthetic reason....I was born with a heart defect - Mital Valve Prolapse(MVP)....more vulneravble to Cardiovascular Diseases...and I want to keep the risk at its lowest!

Something to Share
Just read an article from Mindyourbody published on 28 March.
Risks for developing diabetes, high cholesterol and Cardiovascular diseases increase when waist exceeds 90 cm for men and 80cm for women.This is due to the visceral fats found deep at the stomach area which surrounds organs. It will be metabolized by liver into cholesterol! It is more harmful than subcutaneous fats that are found under the skin of the other area of the body!

No Starving!!!!

nobody@vox.com(FongToon) — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 11:59:11 +0800

The Right Approach works on 3 aspects - The right nutrition(diet), right exercise(home based and simple ones) and the right products (effective and safe supplements)

One thing I like about this weight management programme is that I need not starve! Just need to ensure that, I have a balanced meal with WIDE variety of food (sounds good huh!)

What's a balanced meal????? I am using this 3333 Diet as a guide:

Picture4

3 x palm size of fruits, 3 x palm size of vegetables a day

Picture3

3 x fist size of low protein (lean meat) a day

Picture2

3 x half closed palm size of whole grains (e.g. noodle, rice, bread) a day; and

Picture1

Small amount of fats and oil...(ring of the OK sign)

Looks challenging...I'm keeping a food diary (provided by the programme) to monitor what I eat each day and identify the culprit that has been generously providing so much fats to my body.

Its all about habits...I'm still enjoying my food but i realise that I'm more selective these days....One major achievement - I can now complete the day without snacking...haha dun try to tempt me ya!!!!! but no harm going for tea or coffee once in a while ..heehee

Something to share
Are tomatoes fruits or a vegetables?
Small tomatoes that we can snack are fruits,
while the bigger ones that we used for main meals are classified as vegetables..

A to I - From Fat to Fit

nobody@vox.com(FongToon) — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 12:48:01 +0800

Friends have been telling that I'm expanding horizontally. Did not realise that until, I put myself on a Weight & Body Composition Scale. The moment of truth:

(a) Weight: 78.7kg
(b) BMI : 24.8 (which is OVERWEIGHT for Asians)
(c) % Body Fat : 26.8% (OVER FAT Level for a man!)
(d) Visceral Fat (Abdominal Fat) : 9 High end of the normal risk
This measure the fat surrounds the vital organs around the abdominal area. Higher the no. increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Took the measurement on my waist, abdominal and hip and its 94cm, 88cm, 94 cm respectively.

Oh boy, oh boy! numbers dun lie ya. I decided to take up a programme that provides The Right Approach to weight management! I gonna go from A to I, fAt to fIt!

You'll Never Walk Alone!

nobody@vox.com(FongToon) — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 12:18:07 +0800

The Liverpool FC won the 1st game of 2007, beaten Bolton at home 3 - 0.
Once again, the song: "You'll Never Walk Alone" was heard at Anfield.
Fans will sing this at the end of every game, regardless they win or lose.

The slogan of my biz group, Success Together World Wide is
"The Road to Success is Never Cross Alone".
You see the similarity, don't you.
Probably, Rayne and Angela, the Chairman and CEO respectively are Liverpool Fans too!

I would like to dedicate this song to my family, mentors and friends
for going through all the thick and thin with me thus far.
I love the last para of the song. It keeps me going all the time:

You'll Never Walk Alone!

Walkon

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
and don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is the golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With a hope in your heart
And you will never walk alone,
You will never walk alone.
