More. Seems like I used fasting as excuse to not go cico normally, so I just kept eating like always waiting for "good moment" to fast, which rarely comes due to living with family.
Andrew Russell
Fuck, I've been doing this for 2 months. Just now started doing cico on a 2100 calorie deficit
Adam Fisher
How much total weight do you have to lose? Everybody stores it a bit differently.
Also post before/after shots. It took me awhile to see changes in the mirror. I could see it better in side by side pictures and others could see it even better.
Yep, it hurt a bit. I'm a man of the moment and I tend to have bursts of activity than to work consistently on something. It works when you want to hike up the hill, but sucks for everyday life.

if you are a fat fuck, do biking. it's less impact and you can work up a good sweat.
Liam Howard
And by the way. Thanks.
Elijah Powell
that's probably better, i get fucked up from running, im 6'1 290 and running fuckin kills me
Adrian James
Yeah especially if you have been a big boy all your life. Your fucking knees are already under tremendous strain with that extra weight causing accelerated wear and tear. You probably got the joints of a two tour ground pounder. Got to take it easy on them knees.
Kayden Sullivan
Did you read the OP and the sticky?
Wyatt Walker
Oh i forgot about the sticky sorry user
John Baker
if you go again tomorrow and the day after, yes
Elijah Powell
recently moved to a much hotter country, i gotta say it's really helped my weight loss. i sweat like shit so i end up drinking loads of water. really kills the desire to eat. drink more water bros
Leo James
Guys I need advice. I started losing weight some time ago simply by cutting off sugar and doing c25k. I lost 30kg since but in the 1/2 month I havent seen much progress at 100-95kg, it is also near that time when i started lifting. Could it be just that i am gaining muscle mass while losing fat, therefore I dont see much loss? But I thought to gain you had to eat more than I consume, and i totally eat less right now. I hit my protein targets everyday. For what matters i am 6 2 and rn 98kg
Hudson Martin
do some logging with MFP and calculate your TDEE and bf% to know for sure. you can gain muscle on a cut, slowly. you could also just be at a plateau. do some logging to make sure you're actually below TDEE.
Jonathan Martinez
>tfw i just want to eat healthy and have good poops >gf constantly tries to tempt me, force feed, or whines when we don't eat out
what do?
Thomas Thompson
Take her out and eat nothing yourself.
That's what I do
Jeremiah Peterson
been having these recently, super quick to cook and actually pretty damn good
Tell her to cut the shit. Consider changing females.
Lincoln Lopez
I ate half the dinner's portion than normally today.
Bentley Bell
Just skip that shit and eat the tuna by itself you fat fuck
Mason Collins

I was so close to escaping this fucking thread and being a Jow Forums normie. At least I only put a fraction of what I lost back on. Still hurts to realise how much effort I wasted and to imagine where I'd be now if I'd just kept up with it though.
Don't backslide /fat/bots. It hurts.
Hunter Walker
how about just eat a fucking can of tuna with some veggies?
Levi Thompson
this is more enjoyable, feels like a real meal if i serve it with some toast and an egg, and only adds a small amount of calories i can easily budget for. it's a very simple concept
Owen Roberts
this might be a dumb question but fuck it i read somewhere that jumping rope is good way to burn calories, im just wondering if my man boobs and belly going up and down during jumping can make them bigger/make me have more loose skin?
Austin Ortiz
if you've got man boobs and belly big enough to flap around so much you probably shouldn't be jumping much, you'll fuck your joints up. ellipticals are best for fatties as they're low impact. regarding your actual question i have no idea, but it seems plausible it'd stretch your skin if you did loads of them.
Michael Anderson
I don't really have a goal to lose, just a goal to look like. I know I've lost weight around my hips because my jeans are significantly looser now. Don't have a before pic but will take a current one for future reference
Ethan Morgan
How do you look like that with a close to healthy BMI? My BMI is 28 and I have a six pack?!
Hudson Morales
muscle is much denser than fat.
Jonathan Baker
Lost ~18 pounds so far from IF which makes a huge difference on my 5'4". Semi-fat family asking me for advice and how I do it and giving me so many excuses.
>260 lbs, 6'3" >TDEE for desk job is ~2900 calories >Plug same stats into MyFitnessPal >Tells me to eat 2150 calories a day for 1 lb / week weight loss
I'm a bit confused about the difference. Should I be okay with the TDEE - 500 goal and just adjust it as I lose weight? I've also been eating under MFP's target and have come up around 200 short each day, bur I'm worried that I'm not eating enough.
I know the goal is to cut, so obviously I shouldn't be eating enough to begin with, but still
Are you saying 1000 above MFP's goals or above 1000 calories a day? The answer's probably obvious, just wanted to make sure
Oliver Williams
Anything above 1000 cals a day
Daniel Ward
How long did it take to lose 30kg?
Aaron Peterson
i just snapped and ate 2300 worth of calories in chocolate in one sitting, how do i not do this? I just get these urges where i cant control myself
Austin Barnes
When I was a teen and dropped a lot of baby fat, I satisfied cravings for snacks by drinking black coffee and distracting myself. Eventually the cravings for snacks go away as long as you don't begin snacking again. I'm actually going to try doing that again since I want to lose 10kg.
Gavin White
>4600kcal on Friday I always overestimate, but this is nothing unusual when visiting family. For comparision, I should be eating under 1500kcal to lose weight.
Kevin Long
constant goal visualisation.
Also Keto. It forces the body to go cold turkey on sugar.
Combine this with starvation diet and you have the perfect diet. All the benefits of starvation diet but none of it's uncomfortable cravings.
No glucose to signal the body to crave.
Only based Ketones allowed as fuel.
Andrew Nguyen
if you are a beginner you can build muscle in a calorie deficit
Jordan Moore
>I'm worried that I'm not eating enough Nigga you can fast (not eat ANYTHING) 7 days in a row without paying much attention to yourself. I fast 48 hours every single week, meaning I only eat 5 days out of 7 and even then it's on a massive deficit. Starvation is a retarded elite mind control meme, you literally can't die of starvation unless you're locked in a cell and have the key thrown away, and even then chances are you'll still be kinda alive after a month.
Connor Rivera
That's fair enough, I just didn't want to go too crazy with cutting early on and end up breaking if this got too hard.
I did maintain around 214 lbs a couple years back when I was in a college boxing club three days a week, but now that I work from home I'm having trouble working on getting any kind of movement in.

1200 is pretty aggressive with that amount of exercise, especially for men. Try bumping it up to 1400/1500 for more sustainable weight loss imo. You're only at 175. Just get back to your old habits, bit by bit.
How much weight is it realistic to lose in 2 months? Trying to maintain 1k deficit, gym 3 days a week and quite a lot of walking everyday. 110.4 kg now at 6'3, think I could make it to 105?
about a stone however you might drop a bunch of water weight if you're just starting out
Jaxon Hughes
Any reason for the wimpy frequency? Up your cardio to 5x a week min and a deficit with lots of water try to go more vegetarian than not and ull lose the weight quick ad. 5kg in 2 months is nothing but if ur onlyy exercising 3 fayd a week dont exprct it to melt right off
Jason Foster
Nah been on this since Christmas, lost 17kg which is pretty meh but it's progress.
Xavier Martinez
also try doing shadow boxing at home for cardio until you get more stamina, it's also much easier on your joints if you're fat
Alexander Clark
your rough guide should be 1kg/2lbs a week for sustainable weight loss
Nolan Edwards
300 calories by itself with toast (at min 70 calories a slice) and another egg (78 calories) you aren't going to make it as you're addicted to food
John Jones
you gotta learn to replace the craved food with something similar but less calories. try a chocolate fudge pop if your craving chocolate (40 calories) or only buy those tiny one piece chocolates and keep a handful and give the rest away so you don't eat them all. learning to control your eating is the only real way to make it and complete avoidance of foods never works as it ends up in binging 100% of the time once you reach a breaking point
Jordan Edwards
good job bro
Sebastian Torres
I'm hovering just above 200 and I just injured myself on a run a week ago. IT Band injuries are fucking ruthless, only can be fixed by a painful massage or painful foam rolling.
use sailrabbit for calculating tdee and your deficit
Justin Davis
~450 cal is perfectly acceptable for a meal. and again i'm always below my deficit and i always overestimate my calories. whatever attitude you're taking towards food is almost as unhealthy as the fat mentality.
can you get sick from losing weight? As in, can the stuff thats being held inside your fat cells fuck you up when you start releasing the fat?
Gabriel Watson
I must have developed a genuine mental disease. When I look at food, all I see is numbers and nutrition facts.
Caleb Stewart
if you're doing keto you could fuck up your kidneys
Logan Perez
Only if you have been into hard drugs, as traces of them can get stored in your fat cells. So if you come clean but lose weight, you will rebound.
Mason Sanders
this smells like based Boston
Adrian Roberts
Fuck brehs, I've already lost 55 pounds, but right now I am stagnating at 198 and cannot force myself to go down with weight. I am maintaining this for about a year now. What to do brehs to move forward again?
Owen Diaz
That looks like shit mate. Like literal runny chunky shit. Probably tastes great though.
Luke Hughes
I don't have a tape measure yet, just spent all my bucks on equipment. Can anyone estimate my body fat %? I'm thinking I'm 30%. 5'11 1/2 205 lbs this morning.
Based off your Monday it looks like you are one of those faggots who tracks exercise on your dieting app. You are a trash person and your opinion should be of little concern to anyone else in this thread.
Isaiah Butler
>how does a fatass with no muscle look terrible compared to somebody with low body fat and much more muscle is Jow Forums really this dumb?

Hey anons hope y'all have had a great weekend! Not gonna lie anons, I've been on the road all weekend and definitely fucked up and ate over my daily count by 500 both yesterday and Friday, so happy to be back online and having y'all to help me and vice versa, love y'all anons! We are all gonna make it!
it's ok to take a break every now and then user, it's good that you enjoyed your holiday.
Julian Sanders
Uh do someone want to rate my workout? //warm up stretching 1 km run //heavy bench press 4x8 deadlift 4x8 weighted squat 4x8 //dumbbels lying fly 4x8 incline benc press 4x8 seated soulder press 4x8 alternated bicep curls 4x8 //no weight 50 simple squat (sometimes 2x50) 4x10 push up 2x50 sit up 3x5 crunching rowing, 4x4 minutes on level 7, between 3-4 km
I also try to keep my calories at 2000 (I'm 186 cm), also I go around by bike, and run for 40 minutes twice a week (it used to be 3, but right now with the bike I do enough cardio I think). I lost 3 kg so far, I'm used to be 97 kg, right now I'm 93-94, goal is between 80-85 by end of the year.
Oliver Gomez
I also want to do pull-ups but I'm too weak for that yet :(
Jaxon Phillips
WEnt to IHOP for my cheat meal today brahs Oh the pain
Reminder that cheat days are fucking stupid and will get you nowhere. If you aren't training yourself to be repulsed by greasy shitty food then you will never make it. sorry lads
does anyone else notice a strong heartbeat (not fast) 20-30 mins after eating when you haven't eaten for a while? i've felt it before if i ate a really big meal or one with lots of sugars, but here i'm eating pretty good meals fairly high in protein and pretty low carb. it seems the longer between meals the worse it is.
