just thought this was a good time to write and get some much needed advice. To give you a bit of background, I am 31 yrs old, 69 kgs and 165cm tall (or short hehe). I am going overseas in EXATLY 3 months time and want to loose 9kgs beforehand so I think I have just enough time to do so. I have started my diet 4 weeks ago and weigh myself every Saturday night – I lost 2.2 kgs in the first couple of weeks and just last Saturday night I weighed myself and I’m back up to 69kgs….I’m very confused, worried that I wont reach my goal and need some advice.

This is my typical exercise regime every week – I work out 6 x a week, having Friday as my free day.

- Six mornings of every week, I would do a nice brisk ride (sometimes more intense) on my exercise bike for about 20-30mins.
- Three evenings of every week, I would walk fast/run for around 10kms on my treadmill at home.
- Three evenings of every week, I would do an indoor circuit training session in my home using hand weights and toning exercises for about 40mins and then following that do a 40mins cardio session on my treadmill.

So my exercise regime has kept me pretty busy lately…
