I was cutting up dark bread for spinach dip and in the process 3 1/6 cut pieces fell into my mouth completely on accident, and slipped right down my throat.
Hudson Hughes
I drank a bottle of wine because I'm sad that the girl I like is dating another dude, I went over my calories but I'm still under my TDEE
My mom's a type 1 diabetic so we've always been a diet soda family. With that being said, when trying to lose weight, should I cut diet soda too? It seems particularly nutritionally insignificant but I'm not sure. I could honestly live without it since I drink sparkling ice now but I was just wondering.
Eli Sullivan
What goes through the mind of a fatty when you see a guy who is peeled and ripped? Do you self loathe or make some excuse to yourself about how they are lucky? Serious question
Parker Williams
Nah, as long as you aren't going over your calories for the day some diet soda shouldn't really affect you
Bentley Bennett
It makes me want to be like that. It's a motivating feeling.

I might skip the gym this week. My back pain has now spread to my left hip and I may go to the hospital.
Mason Gutierrez
Your first pay check should be invested in good shoes with extra good insoles. I've worked a lot of jobs that had me standing 10 hours a day and they make a world of difference. Also massage your feet after you get home from work even if they don't feel sore. Nothing worse than your feet giving out on you in a job like that.
Jacob Hill
i weighted myself at 240 few months ago when i started the diet. now im closing in on 260 after working out twice a day and eating better. no idea why that happens, and how. because of this iv been cheating alot lately and im on a slippery slope when it comes to the 'whole weightloss thing'. maybe some people are just born fat, who knows?
Christopher Carter
>maybe some people are just born fat, who knows? this is how people end up hamplanets btw
Mason Jones
guys am i eating too much? >6ft >275 pounds >male >doing ppl routine every single day, no rest days

lunch: boiled chicken breast, about a palm full, with a green low-cal veggie like broccoli, sometimes if i don't have a lot of chicken i'll also have one scoop protein powder
pre-workout: about 2/3 cup blueberries or a small piece of fruit
post-workout: 2 scoops protein powder
dinner: beans + green veggie
right before bed, about 2/3 cup of low fat cottage cheese
Why don't you just weigh all your shit for the next 3 days?
Aiden Edwards
Buy an $11 food scale, weigh your food, and count calories.
Easton Clark
im getting thinner, i just took a picture of myself yesterday and my neck has gone from a horse neck to pencil neck. but still, i want to get rid of this belly so bad. it kills my motivation. even if i eat the smallest thing like a pretzel, it extends my belly
Landon Edwards
I love you confess pope, you keep me in check. I don't even meme this. I love this general. I wish I had found it years ago. It's one of the best ones I've seen. Apart from a few cunts.
So tomorrow I'm getting these weights. I don't know much about lifting yet. These are apparently 15 kg a piece and I'm getting both for 22 bucks. I plan on doing lifts at home. Any kind of stuff you guys recommend for a beginner? Also you can take off some plates but you need a key every time (a tool). Not a bad purchase eh? I hope the seller doesn't walk out on me though.
I have a busted left shoulder. It doesn't do well when I straighten the arm and life up like a T-pose, so I need a program around that.
What should I begin with? 10 kg? 5 kg? Work my way up? How often a week? I have no idea. I fear I'm gonna be too excited and literally hurt myself using these.
Jow Forums is full of guys not full of girls. no jealousy whatsoever, i fucked myself up and most people in this thread will admit the same
seriously guys, if you are young and fat fuckin get it done. i turned 30 and then fucked up shit started happening all over. breathing issues, hip issues, just random shit that makes me nervous here and there. you dont wanna get to 30 like this. now i'm playing from behind and its hard.
Jackson Butler
This general convinces me that Jow Forums is a better board than most. I mean thats like saying a certain shade of shit is better than another but still.
Caleb Richardson
Just don't go in other generals and admit you're fat. They don't really like you. There's also the whole... Aussie thing.
Adrian Hernandez
Who gives a shit what people on this turkish cricket farming forum think, at least Jow Forums is real enough to tell you that youre shit and you could do so much better. I agree on Aussies they suck
Isaac Lewis
>you're shit I agree that I like straight forwardness and being blunt and honest. I do. However being fat comes with other shit too, like being depressed. Telling someone who is depressed that "they are a fat piece of shit" isn't going to help in most cases. Some who are motivated might lose theirs if that happens constantly.
Oliver Lewis
I’ve been binging hard every seven or so days like clockwork. Managing to stick to my half lb a week loss so far, but only because I fast the next day. That’s slow as shit I know but I’m on the last 10 lbs before goal weight. The last stretch is hell...pls forgive me father for being so weak
Honestly looks like you're eating too much protein power. Besides protein its prettt devoid of any nutrition. Maybe you're better off eating other things rather than like 6 scoops a day.
Landon Wood
Is it too old to get a bachelors degree in digital arts at 33? I'm actually losing weight so I become more active in life and can endure an active schedule next year. I have to apply in March 2019. Studies where I live cost nothing. Just time.
Juan Flores
Never too old for college. When I was studying Computer Engineering, I would sit next to dudes who were pushing 50.
There's entrance exams. The fuck do I do if I don't get accepted? I don't know. Still some time to plan. Thanks user. Everyone says that. I'm that one user again trying to escape NEETdom.
Robert Torres
Kind of curious to see how quick these threads are going to pick up after Thanksgiving and new year's.
Brody Williams
It happens every year around the holidays but especially between Christmas and New Years.
Ayden Lewis
>jealousy >self loathing i'm not a woman so no i just regret that i let myself get this bad
Ayden Jenkins
I joined this general a month or so ago. Didn't like it since some guy started talking slack about my giant blog post. Then came back. How is this general like during the year? I assume some of you are like regulars. I used to be a regular on /vg/ on some video game generals. Still go back at times.
Nathaniel Harris
Pretty supportive for the most part. Although it is done in a tough love way.
>. How is this general like during the year? 30-50% of the posts are redundant if people would read the fucking sticky other than that it's mostly shitposting between fastards/ketofags and normal people. pretty comfy
Nolan Perez
I don't get garlic.
When I get it in food, it's delicious. I got a spice mill with dried garlic, delicious.
Buy it, mash it and it stinks and taste horrible! How come? I tried making a greek yogurt dip with garlic and I ended up using 10 cloves for 200g of yogurt. I think I used too many, but still that shit smells. What else do I need to make a garlic dip?
Cameron Taylor
It's more of the same only with less people. You teach the new people what a TDEE is and go through the general stuff people should know to lose weight. People fight over fad diets. Some fag will eat 5000 calories one day and pretend not to know why the scale isn't moving and can't get out of this "plateau". Every now and then there will be a pic comparison of someone that's made it. Those are the worth it posts. I hope to get there myself. Until then I answer questions and grind time until I've lost the weight.
Ayden Jenkins
Are you trying to ward off vampires? Way too many cloves of garlic. Try two.
Nathan Wright
200g of yogurt warrants one, maybe 2 cloves of garlic at most
William Ramirez
Too late I mixed them in. Not to mention I don't have a garlic mushing thing, so I used a knife. They are bit chunky pieces in it now.
I FUCKING KNEW I SHOULDVE ASKED FIRST. Too late now. Now I don't have greek yogurt and no cash to buy more. Well I could, but man I don't want to. I guess I'll just eat this now.
It stinks though. What other spices do I put in to make it work? It's not TOO bad. It's strong, sure, but.. what else do I put in this to make it not make my eyes water. I put in some lemon juice, cayenne pepper and... nothing else yet. Oh, some salt.
Pro-tip: roast the garlic at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 - 40 minutes. Then you can mash it with a spoon easily.
Xavier Powell
>I ended up using 10 cloves for 200g of yogurt christ, that's 2 cloves of garlic max garlic's pretty strong, use it sparingly
Noah Rogers
Get a bench. Watch your shoulder when doing flies and overhead press. Start small and if it's too easy move up in weight. Ask more questions in the QTDDTOT thread.
Ethan Adams
>What other spices do I put in to make it work? dill, lemon juice if you want it
Brayden Richardson
In the oven?
I know. Too late now. Is garlic big in calories? I googled but it shows 100g amounts only, not how much a clove is.
Andrew Myers
In the refrigerator. Yes, in the oven.
Evan Ramirez
I keep falling off the wagon and eating and then feeling bad so i just say fuck it ill start again next week... then it happens again
Joshua Nguyen
Try setting more short term goals. Try with eating clean for two days and reassess your goals after. Small steps fren.
>Is garlic big in calories? for the amount you're supposed to use, no. i don't even count it
oreos have always been my weak spot
Blake Martin
Can I eat the same three meals a day for ever? Would make it a lot easier just buying the same shit I hate shopping for food which i feel is a reason I’m so quick to eat out everyday
Andrew Carter
There are some guys who live like that, but it's always better to eat a diverse selection throughout the week. It's difficult to hit your micros otherwise.
Blake Gray
you can but you're almost guaranteed to develop micronutrient deficiencies. just get 5 or 6 diverse meals that fill most of your micronutrient requirements and then take a multivitamin
Chase Lewis
I have a fat fetish and am constantly torn between wanting to be fat as fatass and wanting to be ripped.
I get off on eating as much as I can until my stomach hurts.
I feel like a tragic figure in some Renaissance artwork being toyed with by the devil, except in the most trivial way possible that makes my suffering laughable instead of pitiable.
Nolan Gray
It makes me seethe. I want to get ripped solely so that when I insult people who are ripped they can't just dismiss me as a jealous fatty. I am motivated half by the desire to improve myself, and half by the desire to occupy a position of unassailable superiority from which to shit all over others. All I want in life is to be better than other people and make sure they know it.
Oliver Murphy
Thanks man. I'll give that a try. Any tips on making healthy food tasty? Chicken breast gets a little bland when you can't have much sauce.
Liam Scott
/swim/ bro here. Lost another pound. 30 some odd pounds to go.
Austin Diaz
>Any tips on making healthy food tasty? S A L T Seasoning is good too. I have a cupboard full of jars and jars of different types of seasoning. Chicken breast with moroccan seasoning is great.
Did 120 pushups and just walked 7.6 miles. I gained two pounds this weekend from eating like a fatass. No more cheat days.
Isaiah Perez
Why in the F U G are the last few pounds the hardest to lose? My goal weight is somewhere between 160 and 165 lbs. I was at 168 before last weekend, then had some friends over and all of a sudden, I'm supposed to have gained two lbs over three days, what the fuck? How is this shit even real?!
Just weighed myself and I lost those two pounds I was talking about!
Xavier Gray
I ate a bunch of shit yesterday, like half of loaf of bread with nutella or something like that. no regrets
Josiah Sullivan
god bless
Jeremiah Sanders
>What are multi vitamins
Isaiah Cooper
Did you really think that losing 1% of your body weight would make much of a difference?
Parker Brooks
500kcals a day + bodyweight training 5 days a week, looking for a 40kg weight loss by May at the latest. Planning to start on 1 December proper, but will be ramping down my food intake leading up to then.
Any hot tips?
Parker Sanchez
You won't make it on 500cal a day, tried it and the huger gets to you way too much.
I'd do intermittent fasting with aiming for 1.5k cal for it to be far more sustainable.
I defeated my sin. I am a better man. Just wanted to brag.
Wyatt Mitchell
You're going to enter starvation mode and feel horrible. Your body will shut down organs without proper nutrients. You must not forget that calories ARE nutrients.
Asher Gonzalez
Joke's on you, I always feel horrible!
Henry James
Anons, I need guidance. In 12 September I weighted 100 kg, now I'm 89, but it's been 2 weeks since I lost anything, kinda reaching a plateau. I eat 1200ish kcal each day, cutting hard on carbs, breast chicken as dinner kinda every day to be consistent, I have a cheat meal on Saturday evening (usually pizza). I did few exercising, but since last week I upped it to decent levels (1h per day, primarily dumbbells). Any suggestions and/or explanations why I've been stable?
Brayden Jackson
I keep missing my workouts because I have unbelievable shits almost constantly
Colton Cox
>because I have unbelievable shits almost constantly No one shits that often. If you make working out a daily routine, your body will adjust accordingly.
Luke Barnes
Considering 1200 kcals per day y/n? Considering starting training too but i am 150kg atm
Still at the same weight since last weight, I've been going the same pace, I dont know whats going on its time for a water fast lads.
Julian Martinez
You'll get used to it
If the job allows it, try to keep moving through the day instead of standing in one static spot
Evan Hernandez
Yeah that shit happened to me too. Dropped from 127kg to 84 and hit a massive plateau. Took me a solid 3 weeks to break through. I started measuring waist and hips to make sure I am losing it
Cameron Mitchell
Post god-tier foods for losing weight
>angel hair pasta >pair with low calorie sauce and mushrooms >more food than you can physically eat for less than 600 calories and less than $1.
