What small exercise can I add to my day to help lose weight? I want to be 160 lbs.
Only watched what I ate since spring 2017. Used to be 235 lbs.
Nolan Mitchell
I don't know burger measurement systems but isn't that like 60 kg? You're still considered fat at 60 kg? too lazy to google lbs to kg.
Luke Young
176 is like 80 kg.
BMI of 25 is "normal" and I have that once I hit 174 lbs. But I'm still fat.
Austin Hernandez
How often does everyone have a cheat meal?
Been having 1 or 2 maximum per week and continued to lose weight every week for several months, so see no reason to change just yet. It makes me feel damn guilty though, every single time
Julian Rodriguez
I only have a cheat meal if it's with purpose and it's a good meal. And even then I try not to go over my cut. Today my dad came home from work and prepared some 3-egg omelette with meat and onions in it. Since I've only eaten around 1000 kcal today, I figured I can afford that one cheat meal since chances are it won't exceed 800 calories. And there's that, with 1 cheat meal I'm still at a cut, made some family gains and I'm actually feeling good. It's already 7 PM so I won't eat anything else today.
A bad example of cheat meal is feeling like shit, giving in and binging alone on some McDolands plastic meat and fries shit.
Justin Sanders
i used to have it once a month because i really cant live without pizza
Jace Wright
It's incredible how much water weight you can lose or gain in a small span of time.
Once a week. But it's a cheat meal, not a cheat afternoon nor a cheat day. Just one meal.
Wyatt Morales
im one of those people who eat more when depressed
David Flores
Almost down 50 lbs as of today. It is hard, not complicated but hard to actually eat so little when 25 years of your life has been food = coping mechanism for struggles. Only about 30 more lbs to go and i'll be happy with myself for once. Why couldn't my parents have been healthy people.
Managed to actually lose weight on my 5 day holiday last week. Now under 230lbs.
Christopher Morris
>daddy rip says you cant put on muscle without fat >be me, trying to get stronger but also lose fat (6'1", 243 lbs, 28% est. bf) do you guys count exercise in MFP? Ive heard you shouldn't but i feel like i should so i can eat the calories lost in lifting and make gains while still losing bf.
It's the beer that did it for me. Drinking a case of beer and a bottle of wine a weekend. I quit drinking a month ago and I'm 13 pounds down from then.
Jaxson Russell
hey I remember this, post the full comic
Connor Campbell
Yeah took me a while to actually get going. Actual starting weight is probably closer to 144kg.
Got a new scale at around 132kg which shows about 2kg more (which is the spike around 132). The only thing that frustrates me a bit is that I'm lifting while cutting but I can feel I would gain much faster with more calories, weight has to go first tho.
alright you're doing good. but don't forget when your declination starts to slow down, even to a point where it feels almost nothing. Don't worry and just keep going, less fat means less burns, but you'll gain muscle and at the same time start to accumulate lots of water, it will feel like you're not losing anything. be aware of oedemas and keep doing what you do.
Alexander Nguyen
No. I did it once and it overestimated the calories burned. Also with lifting it doesn't calculate calories burned anyway so you won't know.
Isaiah Clark
> 25 pounds down > 50 to go Feels good. Stomach isn't round, face has definition now.
Wyatt White
Don't listen to this candyassgot. Use Tinder. All it takes is one good match for that massive fucking confidence boost you'll live off all your life. I've only got one tinder gf before, and like 5-6 matches total before uninstalling that shit, and I was much fatter and uglier then, but it gave me such a tremendous confidence that I practically became mini-chad and found a real women to spend my life with.
Mason Myers
getting stronger face definition is the best feeling in the world : )
Robert White
Just hit 300lbs as a 72 inch 19 year old. I've been overweight since i was about 10 and i'd like to change that now that I'm in college and away from family. I've done short fasts of about 3-6 days at a time. What are your best recommendations for someone in college to lose weight fast.
Dude when you do it fast, that’s when you risk stretch marks, health, and loose skin. Just change your life from this moment on. Eat the best meal possible at every opportunity, go to the gym everyday. Bam
Easton Sanders
dont listen to this the damage is already done in terms of loose skin etc. The only risk of doing it fast is not hanging your lifestyle and gaining it all back fast.
Just make sure you learn how to eat properly and in proportion to your thinner self and you should be fine
Lucas Rodriguez
Lol I'm not fat you maron. I HAVE fat. It doesn't define me.
MFP is bulshit. I counted my calories for 5 months, ate 1000 kcal/day and I gained. Even thoug by TDEE is 1700. It's bulshit.
Joshua Mitchell
>ate 1000 a day >didn't lose weight
You weren't counting correctly. Probably a woman, so you probably overloaded on 600 calorie Starbucks "coffee"
Tyler Hernandez
it's basic science you dip shit. You were counting wrong. Also, you don't need mfp to calculate you just need a fucking food scale/ability to read and a basic understanding of math
you're still doing great, bro. next month you'll be back on track.
Nolan Moore
A combination of: • 12 hour days • trying to work out things to bring to work for lunch (settled on yogurt or chicken/broccoli) when I used to skip lunch and have a big dinner • weighing myself late in the day after not eating/drinking for 18+ hours, artificially lowering my weight
But I have nothing to confess. My breakfast was oats and half an avocado, lunch was rice broccoli and chicken breast, and dinner was some peanut butter sandwiches with an apple. Then after work I went to the gym and had a scoop of whey mixed in water.
Thomas Martin
3/3 179lbs. Starting to lose muscle mass and strength at this point. Wondering at what weight I'm going to start losing this stubborn belly.
Does /fat/ have any recommendations for a road bike? I used to ride a DB Prevail before it was stolen recently.
You have 20lbs to go before not being overweight. If you're anything like me, you probably have another 20lbs to go after that to lose the belly. You have some loose skin though, so that might change things.
Bentley Powell
Get to 160lbs then SLOWLY bring your calorie intake back up to TDEE, because the first thing your body will want to do after you stop cutting is go back to being fat. That's some savage visceral fat though.
Jaxson Walker
Head rush after walking several miles on a short fast, ate twelve Oreos, and though that and a donut are all the food I’ve eaten in 36 hours, I really shouldn’t have. I’ve got to weigh myself Monday, and that laxative can only do so much.
Luke Morales
One of the customers at my new job brings a dozen donuts to the workplace every Friday. I've said no two times in a row.
feels good man
Caleb Hughes
>tfw 202lb i haven't been below 200s since i was like fucking 8, what is this feeling bros.
Hunter Foster
>200 at 8 christ, i only reached 200 in 8th grade
Carter Rivera
>be away from home for a week and eat mostly fast food but still within my calorie limit >come home 9 pounds heavier It fixed itself within a few days but I still remember the terror of seeing my weight jump like that. Sodium is wild.
I like to think of these days as blips on the radar. As long as you stick with your calorie/exercise goals for the majority of your days, these overindulgences even out over time. But if you want some negative reinforcement, I'm also here to call you a retard for drinking that many calories. God damn dude.
Grayson White
> Went out to eat > Ate a pizza crepe and a large bowl of fries > Weight in tomorrow Wish me luck lads If I lose anything bellow 2 kilos it means I failed miserably.
I traded comfort food for cigarettes. I'm up to 4 on a good day, sometimes 5 or 6 I just need something to cope with life you know. I will quit cold turkey when I'm not a 150 kilos fatty and look like a normal person
>triple meat pizza i used to eat all the time doesn't taste good anymore since i cut greasy crap out of my diet Is this what they call making it, bros?
6'1 260 lb. Was losing weight steadily and suddenly I've stopped but I'm not doing anything differently. I started a HIIT cardio thing recently so if anything I'm actually doing better than before.
Jonathan Morris
keep going user, you're doing it
ive found weight doesn't drop off consistently all the time unfortunately
>tfw 5'10 76kg now down from 96kg in May
Sebastian Gray
I just want to do everything i can to hit 200 asap and see my stomach and double chin go away.
Sundays are the worst for a struggling /fat/tie. It's only 2:15 PM and I've already reached my 1800 kcal. Mostly clean, fresh, homecooked food: mashed potatoes, chicken breast, , boiled eggs, yoghurt and tomatoes for breakfast, but dad brought some cake for us for lunch desert. I'm very grateful to have a close nuclear family, and I don't go over my cut but I would have wanted to eat something at 6 PM too, and not start the fast now. Oh well. Anyway how do you count kcal in cakes? It was a chocolage cake, don't know the name, and it weighted 180 grams. I figured it would be about 800 kcal in total, but I'm shooting blanks. Going for a run later today as well. How do I best burn about 5 calories and make sure I didn't go over my cut? Sprinting? I can comfortably run 5 miles.
