From 105 kg to 70 kg in Eight Months—How Terence Koh Beat the Scale Spike
Everyone’s hunting for a “quick fix” to shed pounds, but Terence Koh’s story shows that consistency, grit, and a little faith go a long way.
Game‑Plan 1: No Guru, just Gym Socks
- Age 33, finance professional, spiked from 105 kg to 70 kg—what a drop.
- Only eight months to the leaner version of himself.
- He did it solo—no personal trainer, just a gym buddy in the mirror and a handful of online vids.
- Training and nutrition tips came from YouTube, not a paid expert.
Kick in the Gut (Literally)
Terence admits that a ten‑year weight gain of 40 kg left him a target for fat shaming, damaging his confidence.
“I realised I needed a change when my wife was pregnant,” he told AsiaOne. “I wanted to be a healthy dad and a super‑buddy for our son.”
Quick‑Update: The TikTok Moment

How He Tackles the Hard Stuff
Weight loss isn’t a stroll in the park—food cravings, fatigue, and subtle doubts creep in. Terence’s mantra is: “When the going gets tough, it’s a daily battle against negativity.”
He reminds himself why he started and who he’s doing it for—family, future, and his own pride.
Cheers from the Crowd
Followers flood the comments with heart emojis and “wow”—hats off for the dedication, the grit, and how he turned a once‑shamed body into a role model.
Short on professional help, long on self‑belief, Terence demonstrates that the journey to fitness can be a personal triumph rather than a corporate training program.

Food: The Forgotten Fuel
Terence swapped out his usual junk‑food cravings for a lean protein focus—think chicken breast and fish if shedding fat is the goal.
“For the first seven months, I was all‑in on a tight diet—no fried bits, no sugary drinks, and low‑fat for good measure,” he recalls.
It wasn’t smooth sailing; he admitted his love for late‑night pizza had to take a backseat. But as they say, no pain, no gain!
Today’s Chill Approach
Fast forward—Terrence now treats his diet like a fashionable, flexible lifestyle. He still loves his fries, but he keeps a balanced view and eats them in moderation.
Beginner’s Blueprint
Curious about getting started? Terence offers the golden rule: “This journey is a marathon, not a sprint.”
- Sustainability matters: Build habits that stick, not short‑term fads.
- Start small: Pick one simple change—like a daily walk—then scale it.
- Consistency is key: Show up more often than you skip.
Takeaway
If you’re looking to make a lasting change, channel Terence’s mindset: Commit to the grind, embrace the food you love in moderation, and keep the goal alive. Your future self will thank you!
