Can we have a fat to fit thread...

I came here lurking 3 years ago. I was 16 and 170lbs at 5’5. Got Jow Forums and drowned in pussy at the end of HS. Lost all my weight and became a stick later becoming fat. Working on getting Jow Forums again.

Was always chubby or fat growing up, only times I wasn’t was up to about 7 years old and during a large growth spurt at about 14 but I put on even more weight after. At about 17 I came to a realization. I would continue to be a depressed anxious friendless virgin unless I started taking care of myself. I stopped using drugs and started walking while eating way less food. I was about 290 at like 5’10”. Just walking for 15 minutes left me super dizzy and light headed at first. Everyday I did that and increased the time I spent walking up to an hour. In my first month I lost like 30lbs. Then I got a job at a grocery store. This store had a schedule for the baggers where for 30 minutes at a time we would retrieve carts from the lot. So in addition to walking for an hour each day I was basically doing hiit. Get 5 carts, push them all inside. I made sure to walk super fast doing this and turned it into an exercise. Over the course of a year I dropped down to 165lbs and grew to 6’1”. The entire time all I ate was ramen with added meats for protein and I would sometimes eat up to a half jar of peanut butter towards the end of this when I was actually running. I was a skelly but it was worth it. I began lifting in college but got nowhere because my caloric intake was super low on average and I forgot how to really eat. After I realized I needed to accept I had to get a little fat again to gain muscle and strength I made some great gains and fast.

This ended up turning into me coping and resuming my old eating habits. After a bad breakup I basically stopped lifting and just started eating shit like pizzas daily. A year of this went by and I lost a lot of strength. The last few weeks I’ve been getting back into it, doing cardio while also lifting and counting my calories. I’m getting ready to do a PSMF for the next 1-2 months now. I’m only trying to get from 220 down to 205lbs, then resume slow cutting.

>started 215 lb fatty at 6'0
>IF at huge deficit for 10 weeks
>down to 185 and skinnyfat
Still about 2 months to go I think.

4 years of 1 step forward 2 steps back but I think I've finally beaten sloth and gluttony

Dude, Congratulations!

excellent man, are you just gonna deal with the loose skin or thinking about surgery

Been losing weight since this time last year. down 100 or so pounds and have been lifting again. Got 40 to go (305 pounds, 5'9" now 198 lbs). It's been difficult cuz I've been at a steady plateau since january but I actually increased my calories since lifting and I'm seeing weightloss improvements slowly. Must have been eating too little since my BMR is ~1600 and I was either eating at that or lower. TDEE estimated at ~2300

My husband has lost 90+ pounds in the last 8 months. We're taking our time but we are making progress.

Here's some perks I enjoy now:
GM calls me "inspirational" for all the hard work I've put in
Skinny coworker (jokingly) tells me to stop getting so skinny
Male boss constantly praises my progress in front of other coworkers, to the point of making it awkward
Fatties come to me asking for help, tell them MFP and exercise, they start it and maybe last a week
Get more attention and conversations from people who would never look at me nor even knew I existed
Best sex ever, better positions due to flexibility and not afraid of intimacy anymore

Congratulations to the both of you and your newfound happiness

also another perk is not injuring myself all the time. I slipped and fell the other day and it was like wow, no biggy. A year and a half ago I slipped in the shower and was so embarrassed by the image of a fat pig injured in the shower that when my husband came to check on me I cried from the embarrassment. My body is stronger and much more resilient now it's excellent

thanks my dude. We're all gonna make it

Not as massive of a loss as most other guys but honestly giving up my alcoholic behavior made losing weight 10x easier. I drink now, but I only drink mixed drinks with diet soda and I never drink alone or heavily enough to get trashed like I did before.

Miring bro. Any comments on your diet/timeline/routine?

Down from 320 to 220 doing fasting and lifting, its the only way for real fat fucks like I was and I'm on my way.

This guy lost 106lbs in 3 months. Then he got jacked. Then he became one of the toughest endurance athletes to ever live. Would recommend

i am doing 40mins of cardio a day tho (and i take T3 and ephedrine)

i went from 230 to 165 around 6 years ago tho half with cardio and half just by diet alone, i prefer that method than the stim route. it gets old pretty fast shaking like an old man and getting poor quality sleep even with benzos :(

Same

This image makes me want to do rope training. Haven't done it since high school

I went from 280 to 195 at 6'5 over ~ 10 months. I had always been athletic, but last year in college was a train wreck. I suffered from Zero loose skin and was really pleased with my results. I quit drinking altogether and more or less maintained a caloric restriction of 750 the whole time. It is entirely possible and it's never too late.

Asked around and its pretty common to underestimate your fat by 10-20lbs. I just wanna start bulking even a little bit again, I'm sick of having a 195lb bench. But I know I'm bad at clean bulking from failing it before. Best to just stick to doing one right at a time

I was fat up until age 26 when I saw a photo myself and was disgusted by the sight. In addition I was sick and tired of the constantly aches in my knees and back, so I decided it was time for a change.

Started lifting and doing cardio at 230 lbs in July of 2016. By December I was down to about 200 lbs until I finally hit 170 lbs by July of 2017. I'm not sitting at my lightest weight ever of 163 lbs (probably somewhere in the 12 - 15% body fat range, never been so close to abs in my life). 5'9" manlet btw.

Getting fit was the greatest decision of my life.

since last October so 5-6 months

Routine?

is he natty

Was about 312 once upon a time. Got down to 188, back up to 206 right now but im working my way down again.

People ask me how I do it, I tell them the first step is to truly hate what you've become. To this day this has never made sense to women.

>miserable and depressed at my highest I weight hitting almost 200lbs

>go sober and start swimming
>am now 115 and maintaining
I love being small. I wear xs dresses and size 2 pants. My waist is 23" and people call me tiny. I can wear the same clothes as my skinny friends (still super dysmorphic/feel fat)
I love love love being small I've never been so eager to get fucked desu (I'm shy/awkward so I dunno how to make it happen but one day...) I just want to be picked up easily so I can feel tiny. I'm never going back. Skinny is the only way to be female, for me.

Definitely not happy/confident with my current body, but more so than I could ever be now than the 310 monster I was before.

Best of luck to all on your journey, we're gonna make it.

I'm nowhere near fit yet, still about ~45lb (20kg) from my goal weight, but I've gone from 330lb~ (150kg or so) to 220lb (100kg) since October.
I'm not confident enough to post pics, especially as I'm not at goal weight.

you did something specifically for loose skin?

went from 300 or so lbs to as low as 170 at one point. i was inspired by MMA fighters and zyzz and was sick of being disrespected by peers and random people. i also love (artistic and well placed) tattoos and wanted to earn the physique i felt was respectable enough to have them on it so that was some incentive too

I don't have much contact with the family anymore. They were too toxic to maintain a relationship with, even my own brother.

When I was 25 my little cousin (14) was absolutely distraught because this boy she was crushing on laughed at her for asking if he wanted to go to the dance with her and he said something like "with a gross fatty like you? HAHAHA" and most of the lunch room laughed at her.

I managed to get CPS involved and she was "temporarily" placed in my custody only because CPS found out she was diabetic, had been diabetic, was prescribed insulin to control her blood sugar and her parents were not getting the script filled and monitoring her blood sugar because "its just a big pharma scam"

She lost weight, got active, got her diabetes under control and the texts, emails, and phonecalls from her parents were used as evidence in the family court to assign me permanent custody a year later. Unfortunately her brother and sister were never removed.

I'm 38 now, shes 27. Shes a dietician at a nephrology clinic here in town that she and a doctor friend started that specializes in treating diabetics.

Ironically, or not so ironically, 5 family members are patients in the clinic with various atages of renal failure from untreated and late stage diabetes.

Feels good. I know I didn't start from too hard a position like some people, but all the same i'm happy with what I did, especially keeping it off for so long. To anyone in a similar position of losing weight, I promise you the end goal is so worth it. It feels indescribably good to not just not be disgusted with how you look topless, but to be actively proud of it.

you should get strong too my love. Ideal femanon imo doesn't rely only on her man to care for her. She is different but equal in her partner's eyes. She must be strong enough to bear her man's children, to defend her purity against unwanted suitors.
I plan to get strong enough to carry my husband in case Murica does have a civil war and he gets injured and I need to get him to safety (autistic, I know).
It is good to be skinny, it is best to be strong.

Fasting should help get rid of that loose skin. Other than that, nice job.

I would like to ask for some advice as my body hasn't changed at all for 2 months now, not for a lack of trying. I've tried 5/2, keto, IF(16/8 and 20/4) but my weights basically just going up/down with water

here's my journey

I'm 175 cm (5'9) and 25 years old

went from about 115 kg (253 lbs) to 83 kg (183 lbs) in a year

Started out on a diet when I realised I'm a fat depressed fuck who needs to get his poop in a group
Decided to do keto, since I had recently read several success stories about that diet
Since I know how the laws of thermodynamics work, I made sure to also count my calories.
By calculating my resting metabolic rate with an online calculator, I worked out that a 1500 kcal per day would lead to a rate of weight loss that was fast enough to keep me motivated but sustainable, with just a bit of discipline.
At this point I didn't work out at all. Only walking and a bit of disc golf.

Doing keto, I lost 20 kg of bodyweight, accounting for almost 2/3 of my weight loss. I don't think a diet like this is the most healthy way to lose weight, but the benefits of losing the weight outweighs the possible health hazards of the diet. Some say keto is healthy, others do not. I don't think you should do keto over very long periods of time.
So it's definitely possible to lose fat without working out. As a side note, pooping was good once I went on the diet. No more upset stomach, no more watery, gassy poops.

Then I started lifting 2x/week. one of my friends recomended I eat some carbs if I work out, and I was getting sick of the keto diet.
I didn't have cravings for sweets, but I definitely craved carbs. so I started to eat carbs again, but I still counted my calories.
Posture got better when I started to lift. I looked taller and more fit.

I then got hooked on lifting. I started lifting in November, maybe, doing a 2x/week beginner whole body workout, mostly machines.
I then educated myself a bit. Learned what makes a good program. What exercises to do for different goals and puprposes etc.
Now I do a kind of powerlifting/bodybuilding hybrid program, lifting 4-5 times a week since that's what keeps me motivated.

1/2

Attached: Pingu.png (567x370, 252K)

I'm very close to achieving 1/2/3/4 pl8s (ohp and squat already there, dl and bench at 95% of goal)

I'm still losing weight and gaining strength. Currently eating 300-500 kcal under estimated maintenance per day, with lots of protein, vegetables and what would be considered "clean" carbs (brown rice, sweet potatoes, sometimes 100% whole grain bread, etc)
Occasionally supplementing with whey protein to meet my daily requirements but usually I manage to get it all from food (I'm a bit of a glutton so eating enough isn't a problem)

I keep myself motivated by allowing myself a cheat meal (a pizza in my case) every time I reach a weight loss goal (every 5 kgs right now), but I also have a goal for my lifts (1/2/3/4 plates on press, bench press, skwät and deadlift respectively) and a body fat percentage goal (at 15 per cent, measured with one of those fancy scales, and yes, I know they aren't the most reliable method)

summed up:
Lost weight dieting without working out
then continued losing weight at a slightly slower rate while working out
don't hate my body anymore
digestion is way better
have more energy
helps me fight depression
gf likes to poke my muscles and make fun of my doms

how to do it:
educate yourself on nutrition and fitness
have a plan and a realistic goal
stay consistent and know that if your calorie deficit is on point, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY TO NOT LOSE WEIGHT. weight fluctuates a bit, especially water weight. if the scales tell you you've gained two pounds, you might just be more hydrated. do your calorie need calculations and trust in thermodynamics.
working out helps but is not necessary for weight loss

fasting to tighten up loose skin?

Fuck off with your fanfic

Just dont eat for a day while drinking plenty of water and you should see skin starting to tighten up. Do it as many times as you think would be good and your loose skin should go away.

strength gains, not muscle mass gains.

big difference.

besides, the "you can't gain while losing fat" does not apply here. I'm not in a huge deficit, I'm eating very clean with lots of good protein, I work out so much I make my friends and family worried (gym 4-5x/week, swimming, running, conditioning, riding a bike or just walking to get around), and my body fat percentage is high enough that energy release from fatty tissue is enough to easily fill the calorie deficit.

I don't think it's possible for everyone, but this is my experience. I'm walking a tightrope with this and once the fat % is lower and the noob strength gains are gone it's not gonna be as easy.

Writing walla of bullshit won't make it come true. I'm in the gym 5 days a week myself, I eat lots of clean protein myself. I bike 20km a day, run 3 days per week, swim twice a week and do bouldering. I lost 17kg over a year, no loose skin, my lifts didn't improve at all apart from bodyweight exercises, stop spewing bullshit kid

Amazing work gymbro!!!

I hate seeing people destroy children because themselves are fucking destroyed.

You did good, and your story should turn into on of those motivational and emotional movies that are usually released in between seasons, but I am afraid that in a pro-far climate as ours it is impossible.
