How I lost 11kg — Milan Teh • heartfelt photography

Earlier this year, I've lost 11kg in two months time.

Well, the reason of why I wanted to lose weight is embarrassing, really. I couldn't fit into any jeans of regular size. Felt kinda bad and thanks to the great help of a qualified trainer friend, Sean, I never knew losing weight is that easy.

Sean was a school mate and boy I'm surprised with what I saw from him after about 8 years not getting in touch. He GREW in size. After some catching up, I've just realized he is now a certified trainer and based in Petaling Jaya. I'm amazed by his passion in body building and his credentials in this field. To name a few, he is a certified: Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Coach(NESTA), Strength and Conditioning Specialist(NSCA), Sports Hypnotist(Spenser Institute), Personal Fitness Trainer(ACE), Kettlebell Trainer (IKFF) and so forth.

During my process of losing weight, I only threw in a 30 minutes indoor workout and the most important thing is the food that I take. Thanks to Sean, I've got the right knowledge on what to look out for and I never got hungry but ate more meals per day. Not just that, he is capable of motivating me, perhaps because of his knowledge in psychology from his tertiary education.

I also learned that he is pursuing his second degree in Chiropractic, a course that studies about human spine & it's nerves, optimal relationship of joints, and treatment of musculo-skeletal related problems. I'm worried as I'm typing whether I'd give any facts wrongly cause it's way out of my knowledge zone! No wonder professionals like doctors look for Sean as their body builder.

Alright, back to what I do best, if you are interested on how to build up your body or losing weight, look for Sean Lee. I did a series of portrait with him earlier and this shoot's intention is to show the curves of the body muscles. Enjoy the series!
