I went below 80 kg a couple of days ago, I weighed myself just a moment ago and weight is 79,4 kg. Feeling pretty good my brethren, still got waist fat and love handles or whatever they're called and extra fat here and there but this is such a huge huge improvement over what I was when I started last May at 103 kg.
Stay strong, resist the temptation with all your might or channel it to something less harmful and keep at it. Setbacks are temporary.
Kayden Rivera
SW is around 105-110 kg in November. CW is 99.5 kg
My moobs that were round and more like a ( shape earlier are now tranny tier c shape. The fat underneath them disappeared and now they look even worse, holy shit.
At least happy with the progress I've made, I live in a bakery with my parents, somehow convinced them to throw away leftovers instead of putting them on the table for all of us to snack on throughout the evening last month, that's probably the #1 thing I had to drop from my life to get on track. Convincing them to do that cost me literal years (WW2 survivors who lived off of tree bark and flower bulbs and eating leather farming tools raising them messed up their brains concerning food waste), but now I have no excuse and I'm really glad my parents are losing weight aswell, wouldn't want them to die young.
Boys how do I get my motivation back, I've lost 50lbs and have about 10 to go, but now I'm looking pretty good I find I'm getting lazy with exercise, Diet it still OK, though I'm not OMADing much any more.
But I kind of half arsed my exercise these last 3 weeks and as a result only lost one pound. Any tips on how to complete that push for the final month of weight loss?
You're gonna do it. Good job on convincing and getting your family in on it. Many people seem to struggle with that in here. Don't worry about the moobs or anything too much. You've got all the time in the world to figure out answers to problems eventually.
Nathan Stewart
Do I belong here if I'm 15% bf?
Hunter Martinez
Yeah man, feels good af.
I'm not worried, as weight or looks are not my aim, but a healthy sustainable lifestyle is my goal. Everything auxillary will follow.
I've been doing it through normal calorie counting and lifting according to 5x5 as recommended in the sticky btw, you really don't need to do wacky fasting stuff. All that ever did was get me into yo-yo dieting.
Christian Edwards
Post pics to confirm not hungry skeleton
Christopher Phillips
stop stuffing your face
Gavin Johnson
Fasting is good for tightening up the body I found, I did a 48 hour fast about 2 weeks ago and my body felt really firm after
Noah Scott
>three months ago, do 10 minutes of cardio on treadmill get burn in my lungs have to stop, scared I have asthma >now do 60+ minutes only get tired like a normalfag dyel I did 75 minutes today with no burn
I'm literally addicted to the good feeling I get while eating. Any trick to replace this feeling with something else?
Carter Jenkins
Run/incline walk? I prefer to increase intensity when it gets easier instead of doing it fo longer on the same level.
Carter Hill
I used to do walking now I do walking and jogging.
Isaac Watson
Ween yourself off. Eat a large amount of filling fruit like watermelon, apples, oranges, etc. as one of your meals. Eat a lot of vegetables as one of your main meals.
Angel Green
Is a loss of 3.8lbs in a week too much weight loss?
It's a stupid question but I feel almost as if I'm doing more harm than good to myself.
I’m not fat but see people night walk in the area surrounding campus
Mason Carter
it's STILL january
Sebastian Perez
drugs
Christian Mitchell
Depends how fat you are. What’s your diet and routine? How far into it are you?
Michael Hernandez
I see some dude running circles on a stadium at 1AM with -12 C (10F) outside. He's probably the next Rocky.
Jose Young
5 days to get motivated and lose fat. The fucking valentines candy is out in stores already and I could smell it an aisle away.
Jose King
I'm a New Years Resolution mug so only since the beginning of this month really.
Diet is usually as follows
No added Sugar Museli with Rasberries, Strawberries and Cranberries. Filled with about 75ml Semi-Skimmed Milk
Lunch is usually a choice of Pork tounge or Beef/Chicken on wholeweat bread, combined with very little margarine. On some days I have pasta with chicken and sweetcorn.
Snacks throughout the day are chunks of pineapple, bananas and a small pack of rice cakes.
Dinner is usually a meat with vegetables.
I usually end up about 300 calories or so in deficit
Exercise consists of walks with my gf, about 30-45 mins of weight lighting and around 15 minutes of cardio.
wat? I've been here since day one I'm just staggered at how slow time has decided to move
Jaxon Gonzalez
Last week was the first time I weighed myself. I was 308lbs. Down to 304.2 this morning.
Alexander Morris
My trick is fasting to break the food addiction and to do something else that feels really good and self-indulgent but isn’t harmful like overeating. Get a hobby.
Also I chose a low carb diet because that’s the one that has the greatest amount of foods I like. I still enjoy cooking and eating a lot but I’m not a slave to it anymore.
>Get a hobby. Guess that's my main problem, god dammit. Why am I such a boring person? Damn.
Jose Morris
Probably not, you’ll get more helpful advice in a place designed to cut the last bit and build your body from here. Are you sure you are down to 15% though? How are you measuring?
Easton Reyes
Thats called being hungry then eating
Benjamin Nelson
Where are you at on the charts, /fat/? F 5’7/170, and 91kg/200lbs. I look between 40-45. Fuck.
do cardio every day, whenever you break past your calorie limit you will feel like shit and eventually youd stop doing it all together.
Charles Edwards
Sounds like you are doing pretty good. I wouldn’t worry. How much do you weigh? If quite fat, you’ll have more dramatic loss at first. If you are worried, get a baseline health check-up to rule out any problems, then keep up your plan.
Liam Martin
I did post this a little upwards but forgot to reply to you. My bad.
My first weigh in last week was 308lbs. Now 304.2.
Joshua Clark
25-30
Jackson Lopez
that's normal weightloss for your size.
Kayden Sanders
Ah, sweet. Shows my inexperience. Thanks for the help.
Liam Cox
How often do you wegiht in? Better calculate a week average than weight in once a week.
Bentley Taylor
At the moment trying for every Saturday morning.
Henry White
Guess I'm gonna try that.
Chase Morales
>tfw you have to count calories for the rest of your life
And then I see people who drink every day and eat junk food stay skinny as hell
then just do 2h of cardio every day and you can eat the entirety of /fat/ and not gain much weight at all.
Ian Thomas
A change will come and you'll adapt. The thing about living well is you can't think of it like you're denying yourself things for a certain time, it's a lifestyle change. I used to drink soda every day, now I've only drank water for 6 months, I never even think about it any more, it's just how it is and it's easy. Live a way for a certain time and it'll become your life. Plus with calorie counting, the more you do it, the more you'll know what's good for you and what's not.
Kevin Gutierrez
You guys are right.
You can either change your lifestyle (which I have to some extent since I've been on fit) or just be active so that you can eat more calories.
Or you could just have a cheat day once in a while.
Brayden Nelson
You will very quickly adapt to counting without even thinking about it. Losing weight is easy when achieving your goal weight is more important to you than stuffing your face for momentary satisfaction.
Luke Bennett
not really in the time it takes to get to a human size you'll instinctively learn potions and have a good ballpark for calories by just looking at stuff and when you're maintaining (i.e. forever) just keep weighing yourself if you're over or under normal then adjust
Hunter White
Took me 2 months of being into kcal counting to know the kcal amounts of most staple foods instinctively
A good shorthand to judge: fruit 80 kcal per 100g normal skim dairy and cottage cheeses, yoghurts and quark 110 kcal per 100g vegetables 35 kcal per 100g candy/baked goods 450 kcal per 100g chicken 120 kcal per 100g pork and beef 180 kcal per 100g tablespoon of dressing or sauce 100 kcal tablespoon of oil (for frying, baking and cooking in general, this is a silent diet killer) 100 kcal
It's like learning character/class abilities in a video game, eventually it becomes instinctual and easy. you'll get there comrade.
3x per week at gym when I was trying before, getting a digital scale today for daily weigh-ins now b/c I’m started on fasting cycles.
Xavier Bennett
>Weight 1 week ago - 85.6Kg >Weight today - 83.4Kg
Fuck yeah, finally getting a hanf of this. Just gonna keep on going.
Cameron Long
>Weight during the day can fluctuate over 2 pounds all to way up 6,possibly 10
Is this true?
Elijah Martin
a couple, yes 10? sounds ridiculous, even for 600lb people
Carter Moore
Yes, it's called food and fluid intake.
Carter James
Are these threads actually working? I'm gonna need some numbers if I am to justify the existence of these threads to HR
Aiden Sanchez
huh... so THATS what it is?
what the fuck.
Jayden Anderson
They are for me, /fat/ and /fph/ are my 2 favorite threads here
Nathan Jones
I really want to binge hard right now. Drinking water didn't help. What should I do?
Ian Ross
Treat yo self, gurl!
Jason Taylor
anything but eat it will pass
Ayden Clark
I fasted for a week and now I either eat in front of a mirror or take a bite, put down fork, sing abcs while chewing, swallow on z. Slowing down and making the connection that food is for energy, not happiness was my huge thing. I'm a fat sack of shit, but I'm working on it. Pic is me now at 200. Used to weigh 240.
Alright, seems like I'll have to gulp down another cup of shitty green tea.
Brody Barnes
wtf im gay now
Jordan Rogers
did you even listen to me
Carson Peterson
shoulda covered up your tits. Americans are up right now.
Benjamin Gonzalez
I can gain 5 pounds after a night of drinking beer. I can lose a few pounds after a night of drinking whiskey. It regulates the next day usually a pound higher than the day before drinking. Can't say I've ever gained 10 though.
Austin Gray
1000 calories deficit is too drastic, 500 is safer and you are more likely to keep it insteat of eating like apig
Bentley Barnes
Nice progress. Slowing down my eating never really helped, but with time I physically wasn't able to eat as much, but I also started from a lower weight.
Colton Baker
Buy good green tea from an importer and a tea thermometer. It's worth the price.
Jordan Johnson
I hope you can get a handle on it. It was so hard for me. I went up and down in weight for a few years because I just didn't have my eating under control. I'm feeling a lot more control this time.
Cameron Morgan
I already have, I just powered through the first two months and then it was far easier.
Justin Anderson
Happy for you, user. It's such a battle to start and win. Stay strong.
Levi Young
>1000 calories deficient is too drastic
Lolwat? That’s 2 lbs/week and is fine according to every professional. I eat at -1500 to -2000 depending on the day and I lost 20 lbs so far this month.
Ian Russell
this has been my intake since 1/1, i've been doing omad I didn't plan on doing omad, it's just that it's really easy to keep things in check if it's just one meal I have to worry about
I haven't had any desire to pig out whatsoever (which was surprising) but I'm getting conflicting information some of the people on here swear by fasting and will only eat like 2000kcal every 3 days, but since I'm eating roughly 700kcal a day then aren't they effectively the same thing? and MFP is on my case about not eating enough, so it's obviously not a fasting fan
>making the connection that food is for energy, not happiness was my huge thing. I always try to remember this, but my brain just keeps going 'but you'll be so haappy, just eat this tiny lil sugar cube' or something along those lines.
Good job fellow fem-user, I’m same weight and doing /fast/ too to beat my food addiction. Keep it up!
Josiah Gonzalez
Yeah it's so hard to make your brain think in a new way. I just keep track of calories and send a screenshot of my food for the day to my sister each night. She is much better than I am weight wise so I like her to see my progress. If we could start an accountability thread here, us fatties could post and compare.
Nathaniel Reyes
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it. You keep it up too!
Jack White
>dream every night that I'm kicking myself out of ketosis what's your opinion of coconut bread and what would you rather eat?
Bentley Gray
not good banana bread
Samuel Harris
realize that if you don't continue to your goal weight you'll gain everything back and be a fat piece of shit. draw a picture of yourself thin and attractive.
Tyler Roberts
>lmao just eat sugar
Aiden Hughes
Are there any /skinnyfatters/ here? I'm 170lbs at 6.0ft but look 200lbs with my shirt off.
>low fat high carb so you don't want to lose weight at all do you?
Landon Bennett
calories you spaz
Isaac Reyes
You're not fat, not even overweight. Just lift according to the sticky and you'll be in good lookingland in 2-3 months.
Alexander Walker
That’s still around a loss of 2 pounds. Just get back on track, don’t let one slip up derail everything you’re doing ok!
Nicholas Moore
disgusting whore.
Joseph Clark
I was hoping to cut even further down to 150 or 160lbs and then begin a dedicated bulking/lifting routine. The thought is that my body won't look like shit anymore if I lose some pounds and I can safely bulk.
Tyler Lee
6'2'' and 170 here too I have an hour glass figure so I look like a have a fucking muffin top but it's just bone I'm doomed to look fat whatever
Isaac Gutierrez
what kind of surgery did you have?
Blake Scott
>haha sugar is tops I love spiking insulin while I'm trying to burn fat
Anthony Nguyen
insulin you retard.
Michael Mitchell
Or, you can eat normally while getting the strength you need during the first few months. You'll improve regardless, don't think too deeply about bulking/cutting and focus on eating normally and in a healthy way, when you feel like you're reaching a cap, only then do you need to adjust your nutrition for bulking.
You're not a powerlifter, you're not a mid-tier bodybuilder either.
Jordan Robinson
Ideal weight for 6’ male? I'm guessing around 80kg
Logan Stewart
If only google would be able to give you an answer!
