I broke a good streak of 1200 calories/day yesterday.... ate 1600 :(

I feel fat (well, i am, but i feel more fat then usual). Been doing well today though, gonna make that streak even longer!

I have nothing to confess, stayed under 1500 calories for the last 2 weeks, but still gained 2.2kg over the past 3 days. Water weight sucks ass

tl;dr:
Any recommendations on fat guy walking shoes?

blog post:
I'm 6'0" 285lbs. Down 30lbs this year, but I've plateaued at 285 for a couple of months now; I know I need to adjust my diet further but I'm also trying to up my physical activity. I've been walking 2+ miles 5 days a week (every weekday) for a few weeks but recently developed persistent hip pain, so I cut my walks down to only M/W/F this week which seems to have helped the pain. On days when I don't walk though I just feel bad, both mentally and physically, and I want to go back to walking every weekday. My walk is on a hillside path so elevation probably has something to do with it, but I've also been wearing old cheap sneakers while walking. I'm hoping upgrading my footwear could help with joint impact and stave off the pain.

It really is. Replacing regular milk with unsweetened almond or cashew milk is a free weight loss hack, tastes great and has less than half the calories.

What brand do you buy? Silk unsweetened tastes like shit.

can I eat a bf%?

at what % will I 1) get rid of my wicked love handles and 2)have fully visible abs and Adonis belt

I think it tastes terrible, but I'm considering looking into a milk alternative for my protien shakes. I just love the taste of milk and the calcium is important.

Wouldn't even consider you fat dude. Just keep lifting.

I ate two tablespoons of chocolate chips yesterday and stayed under my deficit goal, but I still feel ashamed for consuming empty calories without even meeting my macros or micros.

The adonis belt really depends on genetics. I'm /fat/ as shit
>b-bulkin i swear
And I have adonis belt showing pretty easily. Yours is coming in though, but if I were to give a %, I'd say between the 15-25%.

Ate chicken, potatoes and asparagus

I ate salty treats yesterday that I couldn't count. Some kind of crispy sticks that had cheese flavor on them. I only ate 3. But I also ate other stuff I didn't count. I don't think I came close to maintenance at all, but still I feel bad.

Why do non fats always post here? I feel like it's just fit people who want fats to admire them. Starting to not like it here.

try one day on one day off to let your body heal.

How do you cope with hunger? It doesn't matter how motivated I am to lose weight, when I am too hungry my alter ego, a demonic swine, takes control until I am statisfied

Chewing gum, water and remember that being hungry means your diet works.

Is there a general or board on Jow Forums where you can go talk about depression and suicidal thoughts? I can't handle being NEET anymore after 8 years of it. I've tried to make a living and it failed. I want to kill myself, for real. Which board do I go to?

Attached: 1363607827984.jpg (1920x1080, 867K)

coffee helps a ton, caffeine is an excellent hunger suppressant (just don't do it right before bed)

drink lots of water (better for short term hunger pangs, but it works)

diets with lots of good fats and protein help a lot, like keto (just don't overdo the veggies since that can make you way hungrier in the long run)

r9k

What the fuck is it with normans and water?? Maybe it was because I born with an iv of "co-cola" but I work with so many fat faggots who probably wouldn't be half as fat if the didn't have soda as their only source of water all day.

Don't give up

believe it or not /b/ actually had a great thread the other day about depression and suicidal thoughts.

How do you cope when you aren't hungry? It's already 3PM and I'm still not hungry. Is it healthy to go this long without eating?

>How do you cope when you aren't hungry?
I just don't eat until I am hungry. Learning when you're actually hungry and don't just have appetite for something is quite important aswell.

My mom and friends keep saying I look thin, but they don't see my stomach :(

I've been trying to lower my bodyfat % then bulk up, but I think I might just go down another 10-15lbs and then try from there, see what happens. My nutritionist says I could lose another 10, but not much after that. So I guess I'll see what happens, I want to be a strong boy :(

I've lost 200lbs, I don't feel too hungry anymore, the biggest issue I had was emotional eating/boredom. I drink a lot of water too, and have some carrots every 2 hours, keeps me going.

I'm just worried I might not eat anything at all today since I'm not hungry. Isn't that bad for your stomach since stomach acids?

I ate 2200 calories today.

I don't think I've gone over 2k since I started counting calories 40 days ago.

But I supposedly burned 800 walking 150 minutes, still feels bad tho having ate so much, but someone ordered pizza and I had it for lunch and dinner.

I don't, but ask a doctor, it'd suck to have a stroke and not be able to exercise at all.

I ate three hamburgers today fucking come at me

drank today, went to 1350kcal while my goal is 1200
not too messed up about it since i eat below 1200 most of the time but i realize that i shouldn't have done this

you could try one of the religious boards on cripplechan if you're religious or thinking about becoming religious. they have support groups but i'm not able to vouch for them

i don't know man, try getting into a physical hobby. if you're willing to put in the effort, /out/ stuff can help. it pulled me out of a funk a few years ago

I ate like 2000 calories worth of candy and feel like shit for it. Gonna hit the gym extra hard to at least try to make up for it

does fasting actually help or no? was thinking of fasting 20 hrs, eating 4 hrs and heard it makes you feel less sluggish and less hungry during the day once you get used to it. Also works well with my schedule so I will probably do it anyways

felt like ive been losing weight over the fall semester but weighed myself and still 330lbs, better than gaining I guess. Started tracking calories and down 4lbs in the last 2 weeks though

IF is just a way to get yourself used to a strict routine, it doesn't do anything more for weightloss than a well managed CICO diet would

if it helps you to stick to your diet then go for it

Whatever keeps you compliant to your diet helps.
Everything boils down to being in a caloric deficit over a prolonged time regardless of the means.

I'm 5'5" and 110lbs down from 180lbs and still have TONS of bodyfat, huge love handles/thighs/calves with zero muscle definition.

Am I supposed to just keep eating less until most of the fat disappears and then bulk for muscle definition? Or should I lift weights now while in a deficit, will that work?

>5'5"
>110lbs down
>from 180lbs

Are you going for the skelly appearance?

I meant I'm 110lbs but used to be 180lbs. I don't weigh 70lbs.

>been IF calorie counting definitely UNDER my TDEE
>put on two kilos
im actually fucking terrified /fat/, what if i cant lose weight anymore AA

It's called water weight, it'll go away eventually.

You're actually underweight by BMI. I would suggest you start bulking combined with lifting like yesterday

>not setting your goal at auschwitz mode
never gonna make it

Well /fat/, I did it.

Exactly a year ago I said I was gonna lose weight, and I (mostly) kept my promise. Dropped from 310 to 230, still sadly 30 off my goal but I'm a work in progress.

Thanks for teaching me how to not be a fat fuck.

[spoiler]Though loose skin is making me look a tad Play-Dohish.

I'm 5'9 220, 32M. Been sedentary all my life. What weight should I cut to?

>underweight with TONS of body fat
Make sure you're not looking at yourself through anorexia goggles

ultra boosts are bouncy, helped with my knees

>lose a lot of weight
>belly fat is still there no matter how hard i run/lift/cut

AAAAAAAAAAA

/swim/ bro signing in.
Calorie deficit and Keto. I hit a plateau but finally overcame it by fork putdowns and i feel like i'm on a roll once again.
Finally lost a total of almost 20 pounds.
CW:214 lbs
SW:233 lbs
GW:180 lbs

Today i only ate four chicken breasts and a coffee. I was shaky as fuck cooking dinner and it sucked, but i think i made good gains.

I'm not getting all pissy from skipping out on fast food anymore; and if i do- i only eat a single or double hamburger patty with cheese instead of two doubles (...or triples)

A shitload of coffee. Learn to like it. Don't get instant coffee, and imo it's better to not get the cheapest thing you can find. I don't get ultra premium stuff but the mid range stuff is pretty good. I also grind it myself and use a french press.

I've lost 14kg and I've kept it off. The problem is I need to lose another 25.

Roommate keeps having coke in the fridge my true weakness. If I hadn't been having that I might be down another 5kg already.

I fell off the wagon for a few days and gained some weight back. Today I'm back on. I ate a little leftover pizza this morning but I walked 8 miles so so far I'm about even. I'm about to start working out and I have some chicken defrosting so all in all I'll be eating about 1300 calories which is about my TDEE even without exercising. I need to quit with the cheat day bullshit because it always turns into more than one. This time definitely ended with my worst cheat day so far since I started dieting with 4413 calories.

>made a whole slew of life changes all at once in November, went on paleo, got rid of my smartphone, making sure I get 8 hours of sleep, stopped using headphones at work and am instead being friendly and sociable, started reading and writing again, etc.

I need a job that I can enjoy. I just have no interests. How the fuck do you guys end up with the jobs you end up with and how do you stay happy in them? Or are you just like me, that you _ended up_ with the job you have and it's comfortable so you don't really think about doing anything else? I'm comfortable being at home. Well, I gave myself until next March to have some kind of real income. If nothing by then, I'm finding a painless way out of this life.

It's a losing prospect to seek a job you enjoy, usually. A fact of our times unfortunately. Try to find something that doesn't suck and make the best of it. The only way to get an enjoyable profession is to become skilled and certified in a field you really have a passion for. I like building things, and I currently have a job at an electrical manufacturing factory. I started at the entry level as an assembler and now I'm a lead/specialist. I'm very driven and detail-focused in my roles, so I've become a core worker in my area. That means a lot of people come to me for advice or help, and that makes me feel good. I won't be here forever, but I'm making really good money and get to come home to a wonderful lady and my six month old boy. Just try to simplify and focus your life, cut out distractions and take on projects around your home that take time and effort to complete. It really made me a lot happier, and when I became happier, my drive to succeed went up and I started seeing results in all parts of my life. Just find the thread of your natural inclinations, pull on it, and see where it leads!

No muscle is sore, but I broke a sweat into the layers of clothing I had. Hopefully I converted all them metric values properly. It's fucking cold outside.

That's pretty gnarly. I think the packs guys in the army carry are about 45 lbs so you basically just did a ruck march. That definitely burnt a shitload of calories.

It definitely pushed me to my limits, but I think all the exercise I've done helped. Only hard part is pushing through the pain.

Are you stretching? It's super important.

>1200 calories per day
Are you sure you're not overdoing it user? Seems a bit extreme, what's your total deficit, over 1k calories?

>hurt my back with deadlifting yesterday
>still went to the gym today
>bit sore but I feel better
>still losing weight
Feels good.
Girls actually smile at me these days.
Not sure if it's the weight I lost or the effects of nofap but it's nice.

Fucking nice, user. Success stories like yours make me realise that changing the awful habits I've had for years is worth it.

Attached: 1501535842190.jpg (1000x800, 61K)

Not yet. I just came home, had a salmon wrap that is about 270 calories. Going to do cardio next for an hour. Then stretch. The pain comes from an injury on my ankle. Broke it badly once. The pain never went away. I work through it. I have to. Walking is my only option right now. No money for bus. It has alleviated a little with all the walking. If it gets worse, it gets worse. No money for doctors. This is life. But it is getting better, so I don't feel bad.

That sucks. I fucked up my IT band and didn't have insurance or a car so I still had to limp to work every day. I had to stop running and that's when I gained weight. Gotta be careful when things hurt. I'm terrified of shit like that now.

Waddup niggas, I have a question
I'm trying to be acoustic about my kcal measurements, but how do I measure soup? Measuring the ingredients before cooking doesnt really cut it since there will be a different number of ingredients every time, also it doesn't work when I'm not the one cooking it. Any lifehacks?

I'm just home ridden. Not physically, but mentally. It's hard to move things forward. Depression prevents every day life. The pain in the leg isn't bad, but it makes me limp and take careful steps all the time. I don't trust it, despite the bone having healed up long ago. Having all this and no work plus being obese hammers in on you.

>there will be a different number of ingredients every time
Just woke up. What I meant to say is that I cook an entire pot to last me a few days, and when I pour it into the bowl there will be a different number of ingredients each time, because I cant divide it perfectly, right?

Oh hey, I had a feeling I was talking to you. What part of your foot did you break?

I still can't do a pullup but I moved a little more. Maybe a half inch or so. Let's fucking get this.

820 kcal so far today, it's 3 PM. How fucked am I, frens?

I have no idea how I would handle it. But if you count the total and average it, you at least know how much you have eaten over the time you have it. Like if you look at your calories over the week then you know how much you have eaten. I'm too autistic for that so I would just cook a little bit each day. Like a tablespoon of rice and six peas. My meals are really simple because I can't handle too much going on.

Today after five months of gym and healthy eating I've gone. From 350 to 263. I'm over hallway to my goal weight. Gonna make it.

Attached: 1544486906694.png (850x1159, 790K)

I should've gone to the gym yesterday, but I was fucking tired and skipped it. Today I feel good but regret that I was a pussy and didn't go anyways.

You did? It was the right foot. Snapped badly.

Nice work man. I'm on Week 9. Same starting point as you. I hope I make it before I rope myself. Best of luck to you user.

I've finally found a stable routine to lose weight without too much strain. Went from 78 to 70 kg. Rate my lazy mode weight loss program:

>OMAD as an autistic way of self-discipline
>good variety of vegetable and fruits as desert
>normal ingestion of fats, high of protein and fiber, and low carbohydrates, preferably potato-like ones (root vegetables)
>only water as drink
>walk around 5km EVERYDAY (10k steps a day redpill)
>no lifting, cardio or anything that will stress you out
>deep breathing with flexed abs all the time, so I feel less hunger and more relaxed (low pressure fitness redpill)

I tried a Walden Farms salad dressing and I thought it tasted fine

>deep breathing with flexed abs
what meme is this

First time in a while I actually got. Nothing to confess. Thank you priest and /fat/ for everything. Especially the insults.

>Decide to start a cut
>2 more hours until dinner
>Currently on 200 calories for the day
>Dinner will be ~600 calories

Just need to distract myself.

Google BMI or use the bodyfat calculator on the OP and aim for 10-13%bf

Based.

78 kg is not fat unless you are a dwarf.
Are you trying to get skellymode, user?

As a 5'8 guy at 76kg, it's skinnyfat. Visible stomach protruding forwards, legs starting to rub against each other. This is the point I decided to change it.

it's actually great for internal abs if you don't exercise at all

Kinda, I've always been lazy and overweight, and I don't care about muscles, so I'm trying something new. I'm 5'6".

No problem, fat boy.

Will keto+omad give me tons of loose skin? 5'9 255
