Weight loss tips:

I've been on my weight loss journey for a month now, and I've definitely seen significant results.

I gained 15 kilograms. But starting this week, the sunshine that has always been in my heart has been shrouded in smog.

I'm wearing a mask because I've hit that dreaded plateau that many people experience; my weight has been dropping these past few days.

Surprisingly, there was no noticeable change. I continued my daily in-place running exercise routine, one session every day.

I've been controlling my diet in this way, without changing any of my lifestyle habits or routines, but my weight just won't go down, which is making me very anxious.
