So I'm a super manlet at 5.4, because of this I was always made fun of for being short and skinny, so the last ten years I got kinda fat, for awhile I kinda liked it. However, I turned 30 this year, and kids teasing me in school is a really shitty reason to live an unhealthy lifestyle.
The biggest thing is I realized I have been drinking all my calories, as I really liked pop. Sugar being the big thing I wanted to cut from my life, since I'm super scared of getting diabetus. So I switched to pepsi zero and sprite zero, like usually 2 cans a day, and a lot of water. It honestly tastes the same to me so I have no real reason to switch back.
Outside of that, I have always made my own food and ate relatively healthy. Counting my calories I normally eat between 1400 to 1700 calories a day. On top of that, my job generally seems pretty active to the point I will sweat a lot and have to constantly be moving as fast as I can.
Since cutting sugar last month I have went from 226 to 203. I know that's going to slow down considerably, and that's fine, I'm in no big hurry. So far it has felt too easy, I don't crave anything, I just went on normal and nothing has really changed in anything but the sugar. So, any advice or tips? Anything I should look out for, or if I'm doing anything wrong?

I was tempted by the gains goblins' cookies. I had a few yesterday and today. I maintained my deficit at least.
wtf literally just stop eating, you fat pathetic retards what’s so complicated about it that requires an entire general?

True that my man. One day I'll be a low enough weight and fit enough to get sub 10 minute.

Been really stressed with some family shit. As a result I missed the gym twice and have been stress eating. Forgive me father, I will atone for my sins. Please just let this stressful time period pass.
Hunter Collins
That's exactly what everyone in this thread is doing.
Caleb Watson
I don't wanna go to the gym again today fuuuck. I've been going twice a day all week.
Henry Young
I ate at the all you can eat chines for dinner.

WTF I'm so confused I've walking around campus way more than usual today but this seems nutty. Should I stop using this feature I feel like it's really not accurate or someshit
I really like their stuff with honeymustard. I bought a bunch of chicken breast fillets, grilled it, and eaten with normal mustard. Felt the same, and it must have 1/3 of the calories.

Went from 230 to 219 past 4 days water fasting. I felt like I was gonna die last night from nausea and crippling headaches but was fine today. Tomorrow is day 5 and I want to keep going but the hardest part is keeping myself busy. I really want some fucking pizza or boneless wings bros help. I need guidance.
LoseIt! premium is super nice, make sure you take advantage of the macro insights those things are immensely helpful when I’m trying to figure out which foods work the best for getting my protein or fiber every day.
The patterns feature is great too for figuring out what keeps the fatass side of me at bay.
I want two bowls of ramen and three orders of Gyoza.

Pic from profile 5'7" >inb4 manlet, I already know 260 currently, started 3 weeks ago, at 274. Lost 14lbs in first 2 weeks. Stagnated this last week, but didn't gain anything back
I ate 2600 calories yesterday, I was on vacation. But it's alright.
Liam James
Nothing to confess. Been eating at a 2000 calorie deficit this past week but the devil is still trying to tempt me father. Please help me not give in to temptation and the allure of Sour Gummi Worms and Pizza
Leo Gomez
2000 calories deficit? ...???
Wyatt Bell
I've been eating at a 2600 calorie deficit. Doing meal prepping to make sticking to the diet easier. Only eating 1000 calories a day sucks, but it's been getting me results. Macros have been good, minimal carbs and lots of protein to keep the muscle mass I already have.
Zachary Sanchez
Alternate day fasting averages out to 2k per day. My maintenance is 2800 and I have been eating 1600 every other day
Justin Adams
>allowed 600 more calories today >unsure what to eat Help me out, guys. What should I go out and get? I'm about to head to the gym in another hour and a half.
Nolan Peterson
Why not some lean meat?

Salmon?
Landon Hill
just started actively trying to lose weight for the first time ever after a change in perspective. no scale, but I think I'm around 350.
quit drinking sugar, only eat a tortilla or two of carbs a day and less than 2kcals of spinach/beans/a little cheese that I'll probably eventually cut out.
a little over a week in and after a few days of feeling extremely good, today I felt weaker than usual. just sort of physically more tired than usual.
is this normal? I literally have no idea and googling info about losing weight is impossible because it's such a highly searched term most of the results are shit tier.
Justin Reyes
dude I lost 10 lbs my first week with a 500 calorie per day deficit. quit fasting its a meme and you're gonna burn out.
Carson Russell
here Got a bowl of chili from Steak n Shake. I've got a few more cals left if I want to get a snack if I dare. Tomorrow begins the Caesar salad diet.
Hudson Walker
How physically active are you? You might just be burning too much with nothing in the tank. That can lead to fatigue. You have to remember. At your size it takes a lot of energy to move around and be active at all.
That sounds decent No fucking lie, I just found some salmon in the freezer. Didn't even know we had this.
Christopher Flores
How fat are you? I am >only 40 lbs overweight at 230
Do you do Keto ?
Henry Walker
Just 2 weeks ago I weighed myself at 308 pounds. I'm 5 ft 8 and if I kept this up I would be dead.
But I'm making it bros :) Gym almost every night, eating way way less than I used to, barely any sugar or fat too.
Evan Wilson
I started at 210 >only 40 lbs overweight lad ...
Liam Cruz

David Perry
Unless you burned like 1000 calories a day working out I don’t see how you drop 10 lbs in a week on a 500 deficit at that weight, even if mostly water.
Ryder Thompson
why not mostly water?
Lucas Nguyen
I suppose it’s possible if you were like extremely inflamed but I did a 1k deficit at 300 lbs and lost 6 lbs my first week
Jace Sanders
Hello no But you'll get better I did 4.7 miles in exactly 30 mins (i stop at 30 and move onto something else) yesterday and I weigh 285
John Wilson
work 3 ten hour shifts a week around half that time is spent standing up, walking, and picking up and moving 30-50lb boxes around.
I'm 6'2 if it matters.
I'm definitely a strong fat, and I'd like to lose as little muscle as possible.
David Bell
Ok then, we are in a similar boat. I am a strongfat manlet, work as a drywall contractor, have to lift 60 pound pieces of drywall all day, 4 ten hour shifts. Increase the carbs slightly. Maybe add one more tortilla, working a very physical job throws off your calories needed in a day. Also consider reworking your macros to include more protein, to help stave off muscle loss.
Logan Russell
that's such a huge change in your diet that its no wonder you're struggling a little bit. I see a lot of people go balls to the wall, get burned out, then quit. if you like your diet and think you can continue with it forever, then sure but I wouldnt enjoy that.

I thought I had a system going this week but I’ve been deluding myself
I haven’t been gaining weight but the good exercise I’ve done is constantly and more than sufficiently undoing downward progress
It’s gotta stop or I’ll never get along
Cooper Roberts
At what weight will I not smell like body odor?
Currently 300. I shower every day

Is Keto a meme? I wish it was because I like rice but I have only had success with keto long term because it controls cravings
Charles Ramirez
It works for diabetics but otherwise it’s pretty much a meme
What can it do that regular calorie restriction can’t and more simply
Jonathan Gray
Well I've personally noticed its easier because I have less hunger when I eat no carbs but I also miss eating my favorite foods. I have an unhealthy relationship with food and it's my only vice.I love shitty food.
I wanna do intermittent fasting without keto but don't know if I have the willpower.
Levi Perez
What does it mean if I can curl 70 pound dumbells, but I still remain skinny fat? How do I stop being skinny fat?
Chase Torres
me want kebab wrap me get kebab wrap tonight

lift for volume
Justin Wright
If you're above 270lb then yea but it's cutting it really high
David Turner
About to eat some white castles after work. Usually have a snack now then 1 meal during the day. Lost 39lb
Jose Walker
How do I stop getting lightheaded every time I stand up? It's been worrying me all week. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Even getting out of the car makes my vision blur and my head gets fuzzy.
Angel Ward
I like dieting on fastfood. The calories are clearly labeled and accurate, easy to find online. And unlike most restaurants that make you buy 8-10 dollars of food minimum, fast food places let you buy 1-3 dollar items that fit into a 1800 calorie day.
Dunks egg and cheese muffins are only 340 cals, I can eat fucking 5 of those a day. kfc 3 piece tenders is like 4 hundred I think. As someone with no self control, I don't keep food in the house. Convenience stores are also really nice. You cant buy a bag of chips at a grocery store- they are all deathbags with 1800 calories inside. But corner stores sell bags of like 125 calories- it's great.
Christian Ross
>go from 250 to 210, and lift the whole time. >have beard the whole >shave beard off
whole fuck, nobody told me about them face gains
Justin Bailey
Good luck! I wish I had that kind of willpower. Sometimes I get really into a videogame and get so distracted I hardly eat for days. It's the reason Im only about 195 instead of 300 lbs probably. Distractions are number 1!
In any case when you stop, have an 800 calorie meal maximum. You'll feel fine after eating it- just dont binge for the love of god and undo everything.
While torturing yourself, you may as well go for a run, then take a 15 minute ice cold shower ( extreme shivering burns as much cals as an hour of running-). Enjoy your misery!
Justin Reyes
>Sometimes I get really into a videogame and get so distracted I hardly eat for days
That and I've been lucky enough to have a week off work are the only things helping me. I've been watching tv shows and playing games literally 10 hours a day for the past week to keep my brain busy. But I will take your advice and keep calories
Noah James
The only thing better is the dick gains desu. Didn't realize I actually had a decent dong hiding under there.
I'd be careful at your weight I'm not sure what your height is but when I was 180 and playing American football I was crushing 745 minute miles no problem I had the stamina now 260 to do 1030 minute miles and my ankles were so sore and started bruising so now I'm sticking to low impact stuff for awhile
