Well, it has been a while since I last posted anything here.

But I have still been working out.

My current stats are:
Height: 174cm (5’8”)
Weight: 64kg (141lbs)
Waist: 79cm (30in)

I’ve been getting to the gym fairly often, but sometimes I miss a few days, or even a week or so.

My strength is increasing, but size is coming very slowly.
(185bench press, more then my old weight)

Bicep is only 32cm

That is smaller then it was recently, even though I got stronger, I’m still getting smaller.

My body fat seems around 11%

I don’t know, I guess I’m just expecting too much. I want to be diesel, have abs etc.

Everyone tells me I’m skinny, or “have you lost more weight?”
But I still feel like I’m not happy with my body.

I guess, I can see how anorexic people think.

Fat around the face, or the middle etc.

I still eat though, quite a bit.

Giant bowls of ramen, hamburgers, chocolate cake.
I’ve eaten more Mac in Japan, then I ever did in America.
I think the gym, plus all the walking around Japan, has me staying stable.

But, I just feel so small and skinny. I want to bulk up more, but it just isn’t working.
I always thought I had a slow metabolism but maybe it speed up in the life of this city.

I have stabled out in Japan though, not stressing as much anymore. I think I was really going crazy there for a while

Overall if you want to loose weight… move to Tokyo…

I just hope I don’t rebound when I get back to USA. I know there is nothing magical in the air here that is making me loose weight.. but I just feel like it is sooooo much easier to gain weight in the States.

maybe there is less sugar in the diet there? could make a big difference. Although starch (in rice & noodles) can make up for that...

Sound like good stats.

You're a little taller than me but only 1 pound heavier.

Is 185 your 1 rep max? Or is it what you do sets with?

The biggest problem in the USA is portion size. It's definetly smaller in Japan, or really anywhere else. So while you may be eating lots of foods considered "bad" you may also find that you're eating smaller amounts. Perhaps it doesn't seem so because you're eating what's considered standard over there, however it's likely less than the standard here in the states. I'm a big proponant of it's not so much WHAT you eat as how much.

All that walking and the gym is likely helping too.
