Everything says this must mean gaining muscle but the thing is that I’m not even lifting. I do 30 elevated push-ups every day but that’s it. I’ve also started running and have been running 2 miles 4 days a week.
But none of that should realistically account for very much muscle growth right? Maybe I’ll weigh in again on Thursday and see if I was just having some water weight fluctuations this morning.
Eat maintenance one day, you might instantly lose 5lbs of water weight a day or two after. Need to kick start it sometimes.
Evan Moore
That’s good. It means only another week or two til you make it to the stage where you realize that the feeling of hunger is actually the feeling of your body burning fat and you start to enjoy the hunger.
Jason Morgan
>lost 80 pounds over this year so far >still have about 80 to go >seems like i lost all the fat from my legs and arms and chest and shit >ring of fat around my stomach remains completely unaffected I look even worse now, fucking kill myself
i went from looking like a very fat man to a noticeably less fat weakling piece of shit. death to me immediately
Carter Perez
At least you lost the fat in your chest m8. I’ve lost fat everywhere except chest and lower belly. Large t shirts are starting to look baggy and too big but if I wear a medium you can see my floppy man boobs and belly. (Lost 100 lbs so far and 15 more to go)
Leo Murphy
Does fasting actually work? Thinking about only eating one meal a day

What did god mean by this?
Im way past that stage, but know I'm at the stage where its a mental battle, not a physical one. This is the fucking worst, but I'm almost at a month with a sub 650 cal diet.
David Jones
It’s our penance for letting ourselves get fat. Sure we all work hard and keep our discipline to lose the weight, but you got to enjoy those hedonist years of indulgent eating. It’s only fair that you should carry some scars from living that lifestyle for a significant amount of time.
Dominic Miller
First time going to the gym today, just signing up, but tomorrow I'm waking up bright and early to work out. I'm so excited.

What's a reasonable amount of time to start with when planking?
I did two of 30 seconds just now. Could have held for longer but it felt like I was positioned wrong with how much I was shaking around the core area though.
>be 285lbs, 42 BMI >lost 120lbs. 24 BMI, vast majority of exercise is jogging >arms are twigs with minor muscles >legs are still fat but also clearly have muscles under that fat >chest is skinny goblin, visible ribs >stomach still has enough fat and loose skin for a muffin top
It's a mental battle indeed. I can't get these last 7 kg down unless I literally stop eating. I'm 48 hours in a mortal fast right now and I don't care. I've been fighting against this shit for too long, either I lose it this week or I literally lose it mentally and kill myself trying. It's over now bois, there's a chance I might destroy myself in the process, and the worst thing is: >tfw still no gf
Jose Sanchez
>5 days until uni begins >im still fat how many kilos can i lose water fasting 5 days?
Depending, I managed to lose up to 1 kg a day. Bear in mind, you can't lose significant fat in 5 days though. You will lose weight on the scale, maybe even a lot of weight if you fast and kill yourself doing cardio, but actual fat won't be much.
Josiah Moore
stop acting like a 48 hour fast is a super hardcore thing to do you lil bitch
Adam Bennett
just hit the scale, im not obese anymore. 29.7 boyz
Dry fast and walk/jog 24 hours a day, no sitting down. Sleep the night before class.
Jose Price
Is there a /fat/ approved PPL or can I just do grey skull while losing weight? Just got a gym membership and want to get at it, but I’m a little overwhelmed with where to start.
Sebastian Butler
>pickles are tasty objectively wrong
Henry Wilson
It is my friend. I've eating under 800 kcal for the past 3 weeks, 24+ hours fast at least once a week, hardest has been around the 80 hours mark. lost 10 kg so far, need 7 more. I'm either dying or losing this last stretch this week, fucking hell. I'm not even an insatiable fat fuck, I eat so little shit it's a wonder I'm even alive yet I pack these nasty ass love handles. Almost sure I'm just low test. Either way it's not worth living, so either dying or losing(my mind)
Isaiah Rodriguez
Today was a better day. And if I don't eat anything else, I'll have averaged out this weeks calories to something better. Still a bit too much salt though.
yeah you always lose visible fat from your extremities first while retaining it in your core. just keep at it and the belly fat will slowly melt away when you're sub 20% bf
Ryan Wilson
i don't disagree, but i meant more along the lines of the data existing in the first place. i'm glad /fat/ tends to be more rational than the other generals
Jeremiah Parker
yeah cuz fatalism and rationalism go hand it hand is why. also some fatties gobble up information the way they used to gobble up fries
Camden Wilson
Anyone else eat a full bag of frozen broccoli with their chicken for dinner?
Asher Brown
you'd probably feel sad for the whole day/til you can eat again the next day
Alexander Rivera
>tfw became one of those "anorexia" people >look at myself in the mirror and I can only see fat. Nothing else. Now I wonder what happened to those people. When I was a kid I always assumed those people have no hunger or whatever, but I realized it's just fear of food coupled with extreme body dysmorphia. I have that and it's crazy. I've actually developed an eating disorder and body dysmorphia. I always used to see myself as just fat. Easy life, I'm just the fat guy, everyone knew that. Now I just don't know what am I anymore. Not the healthy guy because I'm literally not eating and I'm not looking shredded enough to be giving others advice. Not the skinny guy because I have these fucking lovehandles and belly fat. Not the sports guy because again, I'm not swole enough to be giving people advice even though I'm fairly strong for the average fuck (going to the gym regularly). I'm just some mentally ill user who developed genuine autism at an older age, obsessed with food and counting calories and nutrition labels. Pretty sure I'm slowly going insane. I already feel myself being much slower socially, more easily angered, less laid back, more twitchy. I guess this is what I get for being a fat shut in anxious piece of shit my whole life. I'm so sad, fuck
Tyler Cruz
I kind of felt bad for slacking off and just maintaining for a little while.
Then I realised this is a journey, not a quick fix, about changing my life & habits, not just yo-yoing my weight.
Actually feel pretty good today /fat/ & I hope you are too :)
no i bought one of those giant bags of broccoli My dinner is chicken thigh, garbonzos, 100g of white rice, & broccoli

It eventually fades. Took me about 4 months. Sure I get hungry from time to time but the feeling is significantly less and my desire to cheat is canceled when I think of the progress made these past 8 months and close I am to my goal of 155lbs. Almost down 70lbs.
Luis Gomez
Should I start water fasting rn? I have no urge to eat and experience another insulin spike. What would I need to actually fast until Sunday?
Zachary Rodriguez
It is the same as a regular one...trust me you aren't missing anything.
What the fuck is wrong with you taco hell is in the top 5 worst fastfood restaurants. If you have to indulge the least you could do is go to a good fast food.
> Eating a bowl of all bran for breakfast, lean beef, chicken breast and tuna for lunch > Shits still liquid They're more consistent now, at least two per day, but they're still liquid What the fuck is going on? I cook everything myself and it comes straight from the freezer
Adrian Diaz
Was anyone else doomed from the start fitness wise?
>be a bigger kid when I was younger >not too fat, just like 20-30lbs overweight at 11-12 >around 13 try to lose weight >generally ask for less food, start asking more for healthier/low calorie foods and fruits/veggies >start exercising, doing sprints back and forth in the yard >get criticized for it, telling me I'm wrong for complaining about my mother handing me ~1000 calories on a single plate and not eating it all >as I lose weight get called anorexic >as I start going to the gym around 14-15 and gaining muscle get accused of roiding >even now in my 20s whenever I eat with family they try to make me eat more than I want to and try to guilt me about wasting food
I was gonna make my own thread but felt this would be a better place for it. I imagine a lot of you guys had similar experiences with your family imparting bad habits on to you.
Carter Walker
I dropped weight by eating the first 8 hours of the day and fasting the rest. Having to not eat for the rest of the day makes it easier to power through hunger. just drink lots of water specially when you get hungry.
Dude eat some fucking veggies to get some actual fiber, not bran fiber. Steam some frozen broccoli!
Jason Walker
I've been doing 23:1 OMAD for the better part of 2.5 months now on top of regular exercise. I'm seeing results in the mirror, on the scale, and in my clothing. So yes, it works, so long as you aren't using OMAD as an excuse to stuff yourself full of shit-for-you food.
Samuel Edwards
Your folks are losers and crabs
Isaac Jenkins
>7 kg same deal here. i was like 5 lbs from my goal, decided to maintain a bit since i had so many health issues (and probably lost too fast/unhealthily in the first place), 'maintained' for a few months and now im about 13 lbs away and its so hard. going back to HIIT every day during uni.
Bentley Bell
Should I eat maintenance today? I’ve been eating 1200-1500 for the past few months and haven’t been close to my TDEE (2400)
Leo Peterson
wouldn't hurt. might trigger a whoosh and you'll drop some water weight by tomorrow.
Lincoln Rogers
>tfw lost more weight than a gf would weight >tfw all alone and feeling colder now

Alright I’ll try to aim for around 2000 gonna eat like 10 eggs to get there

What is a realistic amount of weight to lose weekly?
Tyler Moore
140Ibs*
Bentley Nguyen
at least 2lbs a week if you do a 1000 cal deficit, possibly faster at first if you spent most of your adult life at a lower weight. your tdee is probably around 1800 (i used to be the same stats and that was mine at age 18). you should probably aim for 1000-1200 calories total, plug that into that losertown.org calculator and it'll give you a timeline
Jace Williams
Post pic so I can waifu you in my head.
Blake Thomas
Thanks user No faggot, I’m married to a huwhite chad and I only did the deposit so he could jizz in me without getting pregnant. The deposhot is a truck of the Jews, I ballooned up after taking that kike alchemy.
To all the /fat/ anons that are avoiding diet soda because they think that it will impede their progress: IT'S FINE JUST FUCKING DRINK IT. If some cuck tells you that you're never going to get Jow Forums because you like to drink a diet fucking pepsi every now and then tell them to fuck off. I'm not fat, but I was out with a friend today that I've been helping to lose weight and some onions boy gave him shit for drinking a diet coke and it really fucking pissed me off. You're not going to gain 50lbs because the sweetener in your coke is having some small effect on your gut bacteria and you're not going to put on water weight because of the sodium (and if you do who gives a shit, it's water weight??) It's not easy to completely change your lifestyle, you guys are working to better yourselves and if some lanky fag thinks he's better than you tell him to fuck off, you're all doing good work so keep it up.
Well to be fair I used to be with a girl on the pill and nutting raw is the best shit.
Jeremiah Morgan
>My metabolism is fucked how do I fix it? Start eating properly and don't stop eating properly.
Lincoln James
Where is a good diet guide? I honestly don’t know what to eat. So far I try to avoid bread and sugar, but I’ve sustained my weight. Not going up or down for a while.
I heard that starving yourself + intensive cardio is bad as well.
>lost 30kg by giving up bad habits and picking up good ones like sugar free soft drinks >omg user you know the artificial sweetener is bad for you right?
Caleb Cox
12 more days till end of month wiegh in. How is everyone feeling about this month so far? Me I am felling it, had a few hiccups but back on track.
Yeah but, after 2 years of marriage we just do pull out method, birth control fucks up your hormones and makes you fat and infertile, its some kike infiltration to suppress white births. Condoms are for whores or faggots
Yeah but, it didn’t work for me. What’s like just a normal balance diet? After reading so many different diet fads I do t know what is even a normal balanced diet anymore.
>implying you aren't fat and infertile anyway Either way, 3500kcal is 1 pound of body fat. Read the sticky, calculate your TDEE, and just base shit off that. -500 per day is 1lb of fat per week, -1000 per day is 2lb of fat per week. General rule is to just eat better though because good food tends to be lower in calories. Don't go putting sauces on shit either because that's how you rack up calories without realising.
Had a regular customer at work buy some rice cakes, I made a general comment about them. She said she was buying them because she was losing weight and they tasted great with peanut butter on. I just smiled, knowing that peanut butter is super fucking calorie dense and she won't lose an ounce of weight.
Jack Moore
Start with a calorie tracker. Set it to maintain weight for a week, yeah everything religiously. It's to get used to it. Then just set it to lose a pound a week don't go over.
It's calories in, calories out, not magic.
Where what you eat is important is eating things that will keep you feeling full enough. Complex carbs and protein and good fats for that. Just don't go over the calorie budget. That's it.
Aaron Carter
I've never seen the appeal of drinking soda, diet or not. What's wrong with drinking water?
Justin Johnson
Right now the only diet plan I am on is tracking my calories with myfitnesspal. Eat what you want just stay under goal.
Levi Phillips
Count your calories, read the sticky.
Easton Nguyen
So you have both given up cream pies.
Jonathan Hughes
Diet soda gets a bad rap because of all the fatties who use it ineffectively.
>yeah I'll take a double cheeseburger, large fries, and can I try the new donut bites? >and what will you have to drink? >a diet soda
Then they wonder why their weight continues to increase and it must be because of that diet soda poison
Christian Hall
Caffeine for people that don't like coffee. The taste is also nice in my opinion.
Hudson Gray
I hate the taste of diet drinks. I have made a compromise 2 diet venoms a day for those energies and drink la croix waters.
In about a week and a half I'm going to be eating out at an italian restaurant. I'm talking lasagna, all the bread I can stuff into me, chicken parm, homemade ravioli, extra dessert at the end, I'm gonna feast.
Austin Green
Honestly bro its that kind of thinking that got you in to the mess in the first place. Why cant you just eat a normal italian meal without going overboard?
