lost 90 pounds since July. More dismorphic than ever. I'm 219 lbs on a 6' frame. I'm seeing some loose skin on my gut. Fuck. Horrible body acne/scars too. Will cut to 185 lbs before considering suicide. Gotta build up the balls to /fast/ long
literally just don't get in your vehicle. Drink water. Jerk off. Play vidya. Literally just don't
Nolan Hughes
Yeah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't make jokes. I didn't mean it at your expense. That's pretty fucked up though, even if it was the wrong address they are probably thawed out by now. I hope you can get it sorted out.
Nolan Howard
And why can't you stop yourself from going? Did someone slash your tires? Did you shatter your knee under the sheer weight of your body? Are you hypnotized by a skilled magician? Please do tell, I'm curious as hell as to why you are literally unable to prevent yourself from going to McDonald's.
Michael Torres
It's my cheat day. I don't even want to talk about what I'm doing.
Caleb Long
>tires comment Disregard that, I'm am have retarded.
Zachary Barnes
You will never ever lose weight and keep it off long term starving yourself, by eating mcdonalds and counting calories. No humanly possible this is why 95% of people are not able to lose weight and keep it off they have totally flawed strategy to start with

>tfw I know what I have to do to get back in shape but just can't do it When I was living alone it was so much easier. I'd just throw out any unhealthly food, blow all my money on protein, pre, and cre so I could only afford chicken breast, eggs, and rice, and I was good to go. Now my wife always brings home garbage and I always have money. I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to get back into fitness for two years.
Dominic Bailey
Good for you, man. Right fucking on. You're gonna make it.

Carter Rogers
gonna start lifting tomorrow for the noob gains
i hope it isn't too busy
Jacob Hughes
At least eat the fish. It'll be way healthier than the fries.
John Rogers
im at a really low point in my life watching myself slowly undo all the progress I made the last 5 years day by day i can't stop it
Jose Adams
bless you /fat/her
tell me what you did user, it cant be THAT bad
Christopher Lee
I decided I'm going to work out while I cheat. I only cheat when I go to the grocery store and I bought enough food for the next 16 days so I at least won't slip up for the next two weeks. On the bright side peas and collard greens were on sale so I got a good deal on those.
Jackson Williams
I will, it looks similar to Long John Silvers which is 200 calories per fish piece, so I'll go based off that. Finally escaped fat, now I'm skinnyfat.
Brandon King
I got a pizza (1600 cal), a bag of bbq chips (1600 cal), and two bottles of wine (1500 cal). I'm only eating half of the chips but it's still about 4000 calories. I've been working out a bunch and eating 1000 calories or less all week but that's no excuse.
Wyatt Martin
well, you just threw a week down the drain. just start over again tommorow and remember how bad you feel now if you're tempted again.
Jose Hall
>Have exactly 1,000 calories to spare What should I treat to myself for dinner? Maybe two McDoubles and a Diet Coke?
I went for another half plate in the dinner just bc the pork was really good, I was not even hungry. weak move
Isaiah Clark
I kinda want to stop counting calories, I have an established understanding of what is in the food i regularly eat and it's just a monotonous chore entering shit into MFP every day
Bentley Walker
For me, it's the McChicken
Wyatt Russell
Jesus dude, did you just decide to go crazy on a rare cheat day or did you fuck yourself?
Thomas Edwards
It's bad but for the week, even with today, I still ate at a 3000 cal deficit. And I worked out every day including today.
Time to rate my big ass meal. I call it the "Haven't eaten in 24 hours, super hungry, and must eat the last of this chicken breast before it goes bad" dinner. I actually ate half of this, took a break, and finished it off 10 minutes later. But I feel good because I have this wonderful full feeling, and yet I only consumed 1.5kcal today.
What a bunch of tricksters. Whose side are they fucking on am i right?
Ryder Lewis
That shouldn't even be legal
Cameron Fisher
>Is it possible to eat in a deficit and not feel really hungry? Yes. I've been at a deficit for a month and half and the only times I feel hungry are when I'm bored. Drinking a lot of water helps.
Jaxson Martinez

should i have apologized?
Jacob Moore
Fucking lol
Alexander Richardson
As long as you don't go over your calories you should be good user. I should probably eat something for dinner but not feeling really hungry.
Depends on if fat coworker can handle banter or not
Ryder Hernandez
Why the fuck is there such a spread between Mifflin St Jeor and literally everything else
Sebastian Edwards
When it says 270cal per 4oz of chicken on the bag of leg quarters i bought, that's including the bones, right? Should I weigh the chicken before cooked and then weigh the bones after to get the true weight? I know it may seem super anal to some but I really want to know how many calories I'm eating. So is weighing the bones the right way to go?
Evan Flores
>smoking >ever Ngmi
Easton Rogers
I wouldn't feel bad but I don't dish out banter based on appearances. Whenever I do people get REALLY offended so I don't even consider it.
Asher Martinez
>snacking chocolate It's shit like this that is proof of the fucked-up mindset of the American public. "Snacking chocolate"? Who the fuck in their right mind would eat chocolate as a fucking snack? Personally, I do eat these -- as a dessert, maybe one piece a day, if at all. People are so fat now that they can eat chocolate candies as a goddamn snack and think nothing of it. Christ. We live in a society etc.
>Lost 20kg over summer >First time back in school >Hanging out with friends at uni bar, everyone complimenting me on my weight loss >Feel super happy and accomplished >Suddenly see my ex with her new bf >Overcome with grief and sadness again I had to leave the bar because I couldn’t even bring myself to look at her. I feel like such a fucking coward guys. I can mog 90% of my uni at this point but I’m still a faggot inside.
Started at 280lbs years ago, been around 180 for a while, crept back up to 195-200 in recent months. How do you keep going when all you see is loose skin that will only go away with surgery?
I'd say you're either half right, or simply right when it comes to most people.
The average American is more sedentary now than every before in my opinion. My dad is 70 and has always had a sweet tooth, still does, and the last time he was any kind of a fat ass was in 1965. Even now his old man fat is probably putting him about 20 pounds over what his average weight was for most of his adult life.
He has NEVER been sedentary. Not one job. It was either laying asphalt, laying railroad tracks, bartending busy Miami bars, working outside in the sun all day, etc... and he routinely lifted and ran during his 20's and most of his 30's. I consider him quite a specimen because he has never truly had a strict diet either. 5 years ago he could probably still kick my ass, too (and might be able to even now if he got a left hook on me before I saw it coming, to be honest).
I know people as fat as me who eat far less than I did, but literally do 0 anything with their bodies. I've always had a problem eating too much but I would probably be 100 pounds heavier had I not always had some type of active job.
Jack Ross
I know your sources for carbs are good foods it looks like, but why so many carbs and why so few protein, my man?
I'll give you the advice someone on here gave me, cut out bananas. They are apparently the junk food of fruit.
Kayden Fisher
Thanks -- I'll take your advice on cutting out bananas. In retrospect I don't love them enough to really value them anyway.
I need to do more meal prep on the weekends to cook up a bunch of chicken breast for protein. I did that last Sunday but ran out today and ended up defaulting to what was quicker to cook.
James Davis
I've only lost ten pounds (down to 240 now) since I've started the journey, right at the end of November, and it feels awful for it to be so low despite going to the gym and calorie counting. I know I'm not supposed to, but I can't help but look at the scale every day in hopes of finally seeing it go down below 240- just so I can repeat the anxious process till I'm below 230
Asher Kelly
I starved 90 lbs off 3 years ago and am still going strong.
Jeremiah Baker
Don't worry, at some point you'll get terrible body dysmorphia and either develop mild anorexia or just start fasting for long periods of time. I am down to 180 from 235 and I want to get down to 165-170.
Kayden Bell
>but I’m still a faggot inside. We all are user. Just keep up the work, collect the mires, we're all gonna make it
Cameron Young
I'm already feeling that user, but now I'm worried it'll get worse
Jacob Martinez
That isn't even that slow. It is more than 1 lb/week.
Jonathan Morris
Did keto for a week, then did a dry fast for 2 days, then kept doing keto for about a month.
I feel fantastic and finally reached a healthy BMI, gonna start working out
We gonna make it bros
Jason Cox
I've had Over 30 wings, a 6in meatball sub, a quesadilla, nachos and 3 chicken sandwiches since wednesday

/fat/s thoughts on honey? is it okay to put on my oats or should i avoid it
I guess it's just me wanting to see big progress right away, I have a hundred pound weight loss goal to meet. That and wanting to see physical changes already

Julian Gomez
Yes you can! It's OK that you've had a little rest. Great, even! It's even OK to feel a little bad about it. Now's the best time to get back into your fitness goals. You're gonna make it, user!
>at some point you'll get terrible body dysmorphia and either develop mild anorexia or just start fasting for long periods of time >tfw user calls you out I don't need to actually worry about going ana until I'm actually skinny, right? Even though I'm losing weight currently, I hate my body more than ever and I'm anxious as fuck about not meeting my weekly weight loss goal to get this fat off.
Blake Mitchell
>calls others gay for judging their own dicks >has given himself countless handjobs Don't act like you're free of sin, faggot.
Good in coffee syrups so you don't have it black. Torani Hazelnut is my go-to.
Juan Allen
I'm using my dogshit awful day as an excuse to eat a klondike. I'm still on target for calories but I'm still eating pure sugar, basically.
John Ross
I-I had shawarma and fried potatoes and pecan squares for lunch! 1300kcal in a sitting. I'm still only at 1700 for the day. Am I still gonna make it? Am I forgiven?
I've got a fucking 28 BMI and I ate a huge fuckin whataburger today and it was like 1000 calories. Thankfully, most of my mass is in my chest for some weird reason so it doesn't show too badly.
Day 28 of zero carb Holy fuck Why are these sugar cravings still so intense. I'll try drinking salt water
Nolan Butler
There's a baskin robbins right across the parking lot from my planet fitness. Those fuckers new exactly what they were doing.
Sebastian Carter
> parents send food to me > mfw beautiful tiramisu cake included should I throw it? I'm doing OMAD so can I theoretically eat only that today and nothing else?
Just finished my first week going to the gym Starting on a compound 5x5/5x10 program with HIIT cardio at the end for 10-20 minutes.
I always feel like i'm not doing enough, I'm down to 1750 a day (245lbs at 6'1.) Today I went over by quite ~1000 cal (still in defecit) but it makes me feel like absolute shit.
But hey, it's a vast improvement to my eating habits not even 2 weeks ago, so I still count it as a win.
