I CAN'T STOP STARING AT EVERY GIRL'S ASS It distracts me from doing my reps damn it
Ryder Nelson
I haven't brushed my teeth regularly in over 10 years, went out yesterday and bought toothpaste, a brush, floss, and mouth wash. Flossing hurt and made me bleed and the mouth wash burned but I'm gonna keep going.
Gym just deducted their first fee today, so it's time for me to start going. I'm 6'1 at 125kg, probably 35ish% bf.
I feel like eating at maintenance or so and getting up to 1/2/3/4 or so before going hard on weight loss.
A main reason for this is that I'm going to be working as a bouncer (nightclub security) so I need to be strong and capable of dealing with drunk angry men.
Any thoughts?
Logan Collins
>gained 3 kg
DAMN YOU, EASTER!!!
Landon Mitchell
Get a waterpik, more effective and less of a pain in the ass than regular flossing.
Landon Scott
As a bouncer you do need to be bigger than the other guys. Not sumo wrestler level but there's a reason sumo wrestlers can push around guys that weigh less than them. It does take longer to put on muscle than to lose weight though so your strategy might be better for your work goals but will take some time.

>girl losing weight >tits are first to go >guy losing weight >tits are last to go God is laughing at us. Three months and there's been zero progress on getting rid of my tits while everything else on my body is looking better.
Time to do more bench press. Try to out muscle the fat. That's what I do and I may have gyno.
Jace Long
I've been on a 1200 cal OMAD diet for 3 weeks. Its cured my lactose intolerance, but I havent lost a single fucking pound. I'm weighing things religiously and over estimating the fuck out of what I can't.
I'm stuck at 250lbs and am getting majorly discouraged. I exercise all the time, doing sports with friends like long boarding and wrestling and weight lifting.
FUCK, I'm close to just going full /fast/.
Eli Reed
cut more calories. Im on a >700 calories OMAD. Also do a 2 day fast and jump into a keto diet.
Thomas Morales
Stop OMAD, eat a typical 3-meals-a-day diet for a week at TDEE, rest.
Start OMAD up again next Wednesday or so, and the weight will continue to come off.
I'm not sure why resetting like this works, but it does.
Colton Cox
Yesterday I went on a pretty hard hike going down and back up a mountain to see some waterfalls. I'm about 260lbs and I felt like I was going to die going back and had to stop about 20 times. I expected my legs to hurt today, but my lungs feel kind of raw and I keep coughing which is giving me a headache. But it was great and I want to do it again. /blog
Dylan Cox
in my experience.(as an avid hunter), my legs can go forever. Its my lungs that cant keep up.
Tyler Richardson
Ive done resets in the past, I was 310lbs. But this isn't a plateau, this is me starting back at dieting after being a lazy fuck all winter and gaining 10lbs. This is the start! Ive always had a hell of an easy time in the beginning. And this is the most consistent diet ive done since theres no room for calories from snacks to fuck my measurements.
Caleb Long
I lost 17kg in 2016 but throughout 2017 I gained 12kg of it back. When I lose that weight and people ask me "wow how much you've lost?" should I say "17kg" or "29kg"?
Technically I will have lost 29kg, I just gained 12kg in between.
I have a question for you guys. Just a sort of theoretical thing i was thinking about while taking a shit.
If you do the normal, "eat less than you use" thing then you will lose muscle mass. However what if i progressively started wearing more weight as i lost weight?
For every pound i would lose, i would then ad a lb to a weight rig on my body. So that when i was finally down to my goal weight, i still had the same amount of muscle from carrying around the same old weight?
This just something i was thinking about, i realize that on the Snek diet you will lose minimal muscle mass but still.
Ryder Torres
>6'1" >330lbs Goals >dont be disgusting blob >don't be dyel
What should i cut to, then do i eat maintenance or what?
Aaron King
I did it /fat/. Today I finally rose above all the procastination and the excuses and the bullshit and took the bike for a ride. I barely lasted one hour and sweated like a pig, but I've just come back from the shower with a smile on my face. Keep fighting fatbros.
William Stewart
Tell them something obviously untrue, like a couple of kgs or half a tonne
Josiah Cook
If you're receiving less energy and burning muscle to compensate, where are you getting the extra energy to power your muscles to maintain the rigs weight?
When you are losing weight you arent using less energy, you are using less external energy and using your stored internal energy(fat).
When people say you are burning fat, then mean it like you are burning calories. Your body is just using the fat instead what ever extra food you intake.
and when you are in ketosis you are more efficient at burning fat.
Mason Cook
Either fast or hit the gym if you want to maintain as much muscle as possible, don't be stupid and try to keep your body under continuous stress from excess weight. You might as well just be fat in that case.
When losing weight, is it in any way beneficial to use protein powders or supplements? For instance, would taking creatine monohydrate help with the weight loss in any way?
No. >WHEN LOSING WEIGHT SHOULD I EAT MORE FOOD No goddamnit. Food got you into this mess, eating technically edible pseudo food will not get you out.
Eat less, and eat less frequently. Bonus points, eat better.
Jaxon Bell
How do I keep track of my fat loss if I'm also using this oppportunity to eat at a deficit AND build what muscle I can? I'm bouncing 2kg up and down and can really feel a difference. I've had two cheat days in the last two weeks and that only brought me to maintenance.
Jaxson Ross
The mirror and the tape will tell the tale. That's the only thing you should care about anyway Besides, if you're in a /fat/ thread then you will have to lose far more fat mass then you can ever gain in terms of muscle mass. And you will lose fat mass faster then you can ever gain muscle mass.
William Ross
Will i see any gains if I’m lifting hard but cutting. Bare in mind I’m basically starting from 0and smashing my protein goal even while 400 under my TDEE
Ryder Gonzalez
I stalled for a month at 270 @ 1500. No idea why. Last week i magically dropped 10 pounds. Possible stall, double check your shit obviously but I wouldn't get discouraged. Keep doing what you have been.
Ryan Lopez
>Going to the gym for the first time in 15 minutes when it opens Feeling nervous but I gotta start somewhere
Adam Torres
whey is good for post workout since you should still be lifting. I wouldn't bother past that.
Joshua Ross
Man I've wondered this too. Can you eat at a caloric deficit and let your body take the energy it needs for muscle growth from your body fat? Or does muscle growth not work like that?
Elijah Lewis
Only if you have like 10lb of fat to lose and want to build muscles at the same time (possible only when you are a total beginner to the gym). You would want to have higher protein intake to assure muscle mass increase while on the caloric deficit (not higher than 500-600kal). So in some cases it is beneficial, but for the majority of fatties here it's not - just eat less, fatty.
Jace Thompson
I'm 260 right now just starting out. How important are macros at this stage? I know I'll have to start tracking them more consistently at some point but for beginning weight loss is it that essential?
Dominic Wilson
It doesn't matter when you drink your whey during the day. Stop spreading false info.
Lucas Lee
You really should go to the dentist for a check up nigga
t. bad brushing habits until a cyst started forming and scared me straight
Ayden Ward
Please don't bully for this but can you listen to music on your phone at the gym?
Justin Perry
Depends on your deficit. If it's no bigger than 500-600kcal then yes - it is possible. On the other hand this makes fat loss process very slow as you will only lose about 1lb of fat a week.
Blake Russell
Macros matter if you want to eat keto of course, but other than that just eat what makes you happy.
Andrew Gomez
Using your headphones, yes. To be honest most people in my gym listen to music on their phones and don't want to be bothered.
Carter Allen
Lads i got a problem Im a massive slutty bottom, should i try and salvage a skinnyboye slut build or just start going for strength?
Adam Williams
>no easter weight gain here, still managed to lose a bit.
Since its almost travel season, what does /fat/ do on vacation to maintain their cut? Any tips
>basically going to be on vacation for two weeks with family >breakfasts for part of the vacation seems easy as most hotels have continental breakfast or basic grab and go cereal boxes, yogurt and fruit. Easy to account for. >sister wants us to go to "healthy" hipster food places, so this seems ok >really not sure about what kind of snacks to bring especially for out theme park leg. in the past we normally would buy chips, candy, pretzels and stuff to snack on while waiting in line. I really dont need to be eating those things. Were taking a train to the park/hotel and there doesnt seem to be a grocery store near by; so cold food options arent really an option except maybe packed lunches the first day.
>so far ive gathered to pack beef jerky, hard fruits, maybe sliced veggies or snack cheese the first day. I think i may also take some protein bars or cereal bars.
Adrian Cox
English not your first language?

>severely tempted to eat a container of peanut butter i have in my "emergency supplies" because i dont feel like showering, getting dressed, and going shopping O LORD help me
Gabriel Sanchez
may just want to aim for bf%, I'm 370 @38% right now, I'm just going to keep going till i hit 15.
Benjamin Johnson
Here's to being able to see my dick by June!
Brayden Rogers
Copy pasting from another thread.
I feel like absolute shit what to do when you are 40 pounds heavier than you should be? I hate being fat
I already lift PPL every day, 2/3 through 1/2/3/4
I don't even get out of my fucking room like at all, 0 human contact, I don't study or work. Home gym.
The fuck do I do with my free time? I don't feel like socializing with this size, my dad died last year, my ex and my only friend ditched me too like a month after it happened and I want to kill myself
Xavier Butler
>return home after over a year abroad >lost some weight and gained some muscle >was pretty fat before, now less fat but still not satisfied >decent facial gains though >my old boss lands me a job at a fancy hotel >get to wear a suit >all new staff that I have to get to know, but also some old friends from previous hotels >old friends all tell me I've lost so much weight and is looking so sharp now >t-thanks >all the girls, and I do mean all the girls, at my new jobs mires >they're all super friendly and chatty and laughs at my jokes >caught one today biting her thumb while observing me doing some work at the desk
This is a good feel. I'm glad I've made the personality gains that allows me to keep my cool and not sperg out over all this attention.
Just finished my first time at the gym lads. My friends said you should go for an hour, I only managed about 40 mins, but I physically couldn't lift anything at the end
Nathaniel Murphy
Set better goals. Use the SMART acronym and things will be much easier.
In other words, your goals should be worded in exact terms, explicitly quantifiable, within the realm of reasonable possibility, justified in terms of the “why”, and targeted for accomplishment at an exact date.
If your goal is simply to “become fit,” you will surely fail. If your goal is to be 25 pounds lighter two months from now by lifting weights three times a week, eating less than 2000 calories a day, and fasting, you are likely to exceed your expectations if you follow through with your plan.
Really? My tits are always the last to go when losing weight. Ill lose in my back and arms and wait first which makes my tits look even more freakishly bigger. feelsbadman
Doing a ton of chest is helping me. I have some definition under my collar bone but my tits still stick out too far.
Jaxon Martinez
>>dealt with being fat for years >>highest bmi was 35 when i was 245 lbs at 6'0 >>now im 197 lbs but still packing a gut and am trying to get rid of my APT >>fuck i just want the visible abs I've never had
but doing keto now and honestly I havent felt much of an energy change while chowing down on chicken, eggs, steak, veggies and nut butters. Havent touched bread and not missing it. Plus i think i was sensitive to wheat or gluten which caused my skin to burn and tingle when working out which hasnt happen since i started keto
Gonna cut for the next 5 months through spring and summer, stay sugar free and keto to get my bf% low and my weight around 160-170 lbs
Xavier Powell
Also allergies this time of year can make things a lot worse on the breathing front. t. lunglet

>Have a terribly indulgent weekend >4 day weekend, easter eggs and pizza with the kids >This morning, me and gf feeling like shit >Convinces us to weigh ourselves to get ourselves back in the MIND SET >She puts on a pound >I dread going on because I've gone full hamplanet >Lost half a pound
I feel like I was meant to learn a lesson here, but thank FUCK for that bois
I've got this issue as well, curious what people think the right answer is
Ryder Allen
I currently weigh 270, and my goal weight is 140. How bad will the loose skin be?
Camden Russell
>300 lbs >doing IF and keto >not too sure on workout plan yet, know I'll definitely do elliptical because muh joints >might do some lifting to keep muscles How much weight should I lose before June? I know my weight loss won't be significant and will be slightly offset by the muscle gain, but what should the general amount be?
I know I should cut it out entirely but managing to cut sugar soda was a pretty big deal for me, not sure I'm ready to such the crutch.
Ian Evans
Been eating a lot better for about a month, so far I've lost eight pounds. Went from 5'7 162 pounds (Female) to 156 pounds, although my household has accumulated a lot of junk food because Easter and it's been fucking me up a little. I still have a lot of weight to lose.
My left arm has about half an inch to an inch more of fat than my right arm, the difference is noticeable. Will my stupid fat biceps even out with time as I lose weight, or will this be something I have to fix myself?
Jack Diaz
Eh, I can ween it off, but have yet to kick the diet soda for more than a month.
I've lost a shit ton of weight, so no real big deal
Luke Howard
I ate a whole 113 box of special k sour cream cracker chips (20 g=80 cal). I counted the calories and it came to 452 calories. I still ate under my goal calories of 1800 and went for a 65 min workout but i'm just wondering if i fucked something up. I did the math over and over and it always came out to the same amount of calories but a part of me still feels like i just threw away all my cut despite the fact that on pure CICO logic i should be fine. Can a more experienced fatty tell me whether or not i goofed? Do they lie about how many grams are actually in the whole box?
Welcome to gaming the calorie system. Theoretically you can eat whatever as long as it's under your threshold. Long term it will be bad for you as you inevitably don't gain enough vitamins, minerals and other things your body needs to function well.
I always feel like I'm cheating the game by eating pretty much whatever I want as long as it is under the threshold. (Personally not a fan of sugary sweets and snacks though)
Leo Hill
>Theoretically you can eat whatever you want as long as its under your threshhold Surely this can't be true right? Otherwise losing weight would be easy as fuck. I am a fatty though
Sebastian Gonzalez
It's true. Eating calorie dense sweets, snacks and fast food while staying under your limit you're going to be hungry as fuck though.
Isaiah Morgan
Okay thanks, i guess i can rest a bit easier knowing i'm not going to gain weight but i'm still anxious af that i miscalculated somewhere and the box actually is a lot more calories. Thanks for the response though i will try and avoid binge eating again.
Luis James
yes. this is why Jow Forums hates fatties. eat whatever you want, just eat under maintenance
Justin Scott
I ended up having a couple spoonfuls, couldn't eat anymore and threw the whole thing out. Just had some peach halves and about to go to sleep.
Ended up 200kcal over for the day but not as bad as it could have been.
Nolan Robinson
multivitamins senpai. pretty cheap and legit make you feel good if you're otherwise unbalanced nutritionally
I think those might break a fast not sure but if you don't care about fasting then you shouldn't give a shit.
Julian Foster
Lol, I meant 6 pounds. It's been a rough week.
Nicholas Wood
Thanks, will do.
Owen Bailey
Multivitamins are a scam
Elijah Perez
>ate a shitload of Easter food like ham, candy, deviled eggs, etc. on Sunday and Mondau >thought I'd gain weight >weighed myself a few minutes ago and I've lost 4 pounds Is this the whoosh? Seems too good to be true.
Robert Reed
Can't lose weight. Lost 7 kg, but then I lost my job and I kinda stopped caring, going to the gym, thinking what I eat. I still kept some of my new food preferences, I eat more veggies, if I want a soda, I get a diet one, drink more water etc. But I just can't seem to stop eating sweets, I have no idea how people do that - I know all the motivational memes, I know all the FPH stories, I read a ton of that and tried everything and I still always sooner or later get back to eating that shit.
So, now I'm stuck at 143 kg at 183 cm and don't know what to do. I'll try once again cutting sweets out and maybe count my calories on MFP - shit I did again and again for years. It seems like I'm just unable to develop a habit out of this.
I've seen that people have reset their cravings and lost weight by going on Dr Mcdougall's "potato diet". You could look into it. Maybe do it for a couple weeks at least. It's well recorded so you can watch a lot of youtube videos before taking the plunge. I think it doesn't just have to just be potatoes (can use beans and grains too) but a lot of people apparently just do it with potatoes as a little challenge/test of will.
>2018 >lost 40lbs and still losing weight at an alarming rate >met a girl on okcupid >autistically spilled my love for her after 2 months of talking >she feels the same way >tonight i am crying myself to sleep because i'm truly gonna make it
Don't lose hope brah, you are going to make it too
I did this so much when I was half-assing my diet.
>Tomorrow, I'm going to stop eating fast food, so that means I can eat everything I want from taco bell tonight!
Anthony Wood
I am a huge bastard who has a problem putting the fork with cheesecake down. I want to lose my bhudda belly altogether. Muscle growth would just be a side effect, but it's welcomed.
How do I wean off of my sugary teat and eat healthier, yet cheaper, but also tastier? Eggs and spinach taste like ass, but they make me feel a lot better through the day. I'm no cook, which is why I just boil and steam them. I have only pans, pots, and an oven/stove.
I don't know how to do a caloric deficit with extra protein. All I know is that I weight 240 lbs of death.
I would love to live off of home homeade hamburgers, but it's rather expensive and I would genuinely have to live off it. Chicken is better, but aside from oven baking, I don't know how to cook it.
Jordan Miller
You can eat whatever you want as long as you eat 500 calories below your TDEE. To cook, pick a recipe and learn it. Cooking gains are like health gains, they take years but man are they worth it.
Parker Ross
Learn to cook. I honestly struggle to think of a skill with a wider range of positive effects. You save money, improve your health, expand your creativity, and make yourself self-sufficient. It really isn't that hard to get started. A good site for noobs is budgetbytes.
