I went to a 5 days long comicon, ate like shit but walked at least 20km every day. I gained 1,7kg and 1cm. I mean, I know this must be bloat/stress/water weight, but still, I feel like a failure
That pic is how I felt after I loss weight. Everyone told me how good I looked but I still saw myself as the same fatass.

>all my life blame shortcomings (mainly popularity, insecurities, romantic etc) on being fat >Start of this year start losing weight and weights >Really motivated, feeling good >11 months on looking good but still don't feel successful >Motivation gone, more depressed than when I was 10kg heavier I always knew losing weight wasnt going to magically make me happy but it stings that after all this physical progress I have barely overcome any of the mental hangups I started with Fuck lads
Sad thing is I rebounded back into lardmode and am now feeling the differences between my healthier body and my lardass body. I never want to be this big again.
Hudson Peterson
>all the clothes you could fit back then
i bought some pants 3 years ago after unJUSTing myself, i cant even get them over my ass now
Only thing you need for some brisk walking is a pair of shoes, and even those are optional.
Carter Rodriguez
I actually live in the forest (well, like 2 minutes away from it). But it gets dark at 4pm, I’m not going to venture there when it’s pitch black with shitty weather.
Angel Baker
I will look into it. What about doing cardio after lifting though? I was biking for 30 minutes before I started stronglifts, but I read you’re not supposed to combine it with other programs etc.
Doing cardio after lifting is better than doing (lots) before, but still not recommended from what I've read.
>stronglifts >powerlifter ???
Jeremiah James
I literally started lifting 3 days ago.
So, cardio on different days is better than no cardio? And cardio after lifting better than before.
Thanks for your answers
Benjamin Williams
Biggest I ever was 245 at 6'1 but I put it on quickly and lost it quickly thru walking and massive caloric deficit. Stretch marks and loose skin galore. Eternal suffering indeed.
David Hughes
start working on your mental hangups too, senpai the brain needs to be exercised for healthier thinking habits as well
it may be even more important than losing weight
Aaron Cruz
First (proper) day of cut down from 130kg to 95kg. Don't feel satiated at all. I get one scoop of whey after my workout in about 4 hours, hope that fills the hole
I'm on week 2 of couch to 5k, and I want to get into lifting. Stronglifts looks like it'll work for me, but should I alternate days between running and lifting, since the running is still difficult for me?
Ryder Russell
why are you using kilojoules
Andrew Collins
Because fuck the police Also kj is the standard measurement on packaging here, so it makes things easier to do it that way
Parker Edwards
>anons made me eat broccoli >stomach literally had a hard time digesting it >because I ate it fucking raw >get super tired midday >fall asleep for 4 fucking hours >wake up and still feel like its digesting f-fuck you
At least you'll get a second change to actually cook it once it comes out totally undigested. Or you could keep enjoying that one piece of infinite broccoli.

twist is I should not be able to know tiger style kung fu 20 lbs to go
Brody James
>second chance w-what do you mean? c-can you die from eating raw broccoli? honestly though I went to sleep at 1 am, woke up at 4:30 am, didn't get up but rolled around until it was 5:49 am and then I got up. I was fully awake and in full energy today, until I ate that broccoli... I feel like my virgin stomach did a workout of its' own to break it down and it took all of my low energy reserves out of me since I worked out with the infinite broccoli still inside me. Fell asleep at 1 pm and woke up at 4:30 pm.
I'm very certain if you move into a Shaolin temple you'll lose those 20 pounds.
William Price
You may be the only white person that is broccoli intolerant.

How do ya'll deal with anxiety about not eating "enough"
>inb4 drink water
I only drink water, coffee, and tea
John Reyes
From yourself or from other people?
Adam Garcia
What?
Brayden Taylor
>tfw literally feeling that fat disintegrating the fat feels like noodles, weird.
William Taylor
Do you get anxiety because you yourself think you're not eating enough because you're a lard ass so you shouldn't or are other people hassling you about not staying a fatty piggy?
But my anxiety makes it super dificult fucker. Panic attacks.
Kayden Williams
How do you stop cravings? I can't stop thinking about chocolate and going to the store to get it. The store is almost next to my house and open til 10pm, it's been four hours now constantly thinking about it and I can't concentrate on anything else. Drinking coffee now to taste something but it doesn't help, tips for this feel? How long does it take before your cravings go away?
Play video games, go for a walk, go for a jog, jerk it, anything else.
John Kelly
don't bring your wallet when you go out.
I replaced chocolate with cacao nibs for when I eat yoghurt. I have stopped the chocolate cravings, and everytime I taste something sweet it feels less and less rewarding.
Also remember that when you eat that chocolate you'll still be hungry and it'd been a waste of calories for that shit
Michael Sanders
Are you the user from last night that didnt know how to cook it and probably ate a shit town of veggie dip with it?
Maybe water weight user, give it two rooms three days, then check again!
Ryan Lee
What are some low-cal options to get more protein? I've been having meats in almost every meal but my tracking app says I'm still slacking.
Dominic Cook
I don't have it right now and can't risk going to buy anything Thanks, I think I'll go for a walk then, leave my card home. Maybe tomorrow will be even a little bit easier, it's only my third day without chocolate now but I want to stop eating it forever.
Joshua Wood

Justin Bell
>buying clothes ive had to buy 3 smaller pairs of pants in thr last 4 months for work
at least I'll have them for when i get fat again.... heh
Chicken tenderloin, fish, whey or casein protein powder.
Sebastian Rogers
Well...shit. I am EST and fell asleep around 4am so it makes sense now. How much did you eat? Drink more water and try cooking to the broccoli next time user. Put it in a bag and microwave it if you cant use a stove.
Logan Gonzalez
>Able to get them past thighs You'll fit in them soon, just keep at it!
What the fuck, I actually know that guy. This is surreal. Is that from Ireland AM or something He's actually a really nice guy, very sound.
Anthony James
I told myself I'd buy new pants when I lose weight.
My pants are shredded, and I haven't lost enough weight to buy a new pair. So I don't go outside anymore.
Feels bad

Getting over the chocolate cravings is hard, even for someone who isn't fat. What helped me reduce the cravings was consuming 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon every day. After about 2-3 month, the cravings were completely gone.
Just some advice to the fellow roundbois out there
Give keto (or at least high fat) a try. Im a week in and loving it, i dont get hungry often even though im eating 16-1800 cals a day and im over 300lbs ( though im pretty muscular)
Struggled to get back into going low cal for a couple months before i dove into keto at the advice of my gf and its honestly easy after the fiest couple days. But you MUST meal prep and have lots of high fat food available
Good fats are great for feeling full. Coming from someone who lost 80lbs counting cals and then gained it back within a couple years
Nathaniel Perry
Entire half of a broccoli and maybe 50g to 70g of low calorie yogurt dip
Andrew Stewart
Thanks, I'll have to check that out. I used to see him nearly every day in work until I moved a couple months back, very funny guy
Xavier Evans
Just down a protein shake
Or egg white omelette, chicken breast, lean beef
Most people eat way more protein than they need anyway, you might just be aiming too high
Jackson Brown
for those who do cycling or running its not very practical user, carbs are a great energy boost in a pinch >tfw lost 22kg 178cm 96kg to 74kg

Looking good, your face looks so much better too. Best of luck friend.

Yep once youre fat youre fucked forever. I dont wanna live anymore. I fucked up, better luck next time.
Daniel Jones
Garuntee you look better you just dont notice it.
Start lifting. Does wonders for self esteem once you start making gainz
Owen Hall
Healthy weight people aren't naturally happy. It takes effort to find the things that give your life purpose, it's not automatic once you achieve a certain weight.
Christopher Long
Certainly better but not good. Guess I'll have to since im done cutting. Im wearing Small right now so there's nowhere to go for me in terms of loosing weight. A thing that's postive is that I started to enjoy going jogging and sports in general.
Isaac Gray
No. If you are having issues with it, do a forced stop and uninstall it as well as your Facebook if it is linked.
Daniel Reed
Are you /mu/'s brandon, if so why the hell would you have your trip on here
Ian Clark
Do HIIT cardio on lifting days and then lights jogging or brisk walking on off days.
Well there u you go man, even if you dont think you look much better, you feel better and are getting more physical, getting into sports (which leads to more social interactions) and are all the healthier for it
But yea i would definetly lift if you can get access to a gym. Its addicting once you get into it honestly, especially if you have someone that you can lift with
Andrew Flores
Well /fat/ I've decided to get gastric bypass. I'm all in.
Jackson Richardson
Dude. Don't. My gfs mom had that done and she has to eat slow as fuck now and shes still as big as ever. You can do it with a healthy diet and a bit of exercise. Theres so many downsides to that surgery i dont understand why anyone would go through with it
Zachary Turner
swede here, same
Juan Hernandez
Loser. You got fat, you can get less fat. Get your shit together.
Adrian Wright
>reading all those stories of people who had their surgery fucked and body even more fucked that just wish they lost weight naturally God speed, fraud.
