Always fuck up on weekends and do huge binges. Gotta stay strong this weekend to make my goal for end of the month.
Jason Wilson
My pace has certainly slowed down but I don't feel like going any stricter than I am already. I won't hit my goal by summer anyways so might as well take my sweet fuckin time.
Justin Long
How do I make plain oatmeal taste better?
I put a dash of cinnamon (like 6 calories) in there, but it still tasted like literally nothing
Cameron Phillips
Salt
Julian Rodriguez
Up the cardio/workout frequency if you don’t want to adjust calories. You’ve still got 3 months until summer.
Gavin Sullivan
And 25 kilos which isn't happening until mid August even if I went full Hitler.
Oliver Cook
It's my birthday tomorrow, and I already know I'm going to eat/drink at at least maintenance level. I won't do something stupid like try to make up for it, I'm just going to continue doing well on this long journey.
Lucas Jenkins
I’m not fat but I just come here to farm fat wojack pictures
Sebastian Campbell
Cinnamon without sugar hardly tastes like anything. I can't think of anything you can add to oatmeal that doesn't contain sugar to make it taste better.
Isaiah Gonzalez
That's a healthy mindset. Happy Birthday, user.
Dylan Scott
holy fuck how do i curve my appetite? i cant stop eating
Michael Howard
>how do i curve my appetite replace hotdogs with bananas
Jonathan Johnson
>bananas
What shit advice. Bananas are not good for you. Too many carbs.
The more you stop eating, the easier it gets. First week sucks, then your stomach shrinks. So, fucking get some discipline, then relish eating small meals.
Or try smoking. That works too.

Friendly reminder that, aside from maybe deep fried Oreos and ice cream sundaes, no food is "not good" for you provided you're not a retard and know how to eat in moderation
/swimbro/ here. Ended the day with less than 1500 calories. Tomorrow (the 28th) is my 28th birthday. I owe it to myself to make it this year.
Gotta stay strong.
Connor Walker
takes one to know one :3
Asher Morris
I went to the gym for the first time yesterday. Did some starter squats to figure out my starting weight and ran on a treadmill. Went home and got sad for no reason and ate an entire pizza.
Treat it like rice. So fucking salt dumbass. Whoever convinced people that oats should be eaten sweet with milk and shit should be shot

Sticking to 1800 kcal a day. I'm at 140 kg, fucking hell. Wish me luck, /fat/, I hope to drop this shit.

can someone explain this shit? are weight fluctuations really this drastic?
Good luck, user. I started around there, you can lose it.
Andrew Ross
Nothing to confess father. Eating clean, down 50 since December, and resting before my last set of squats as we speak. Bless me father
Aaron Martinez
Yes, absolutely. Hence you should never get too stress over this.
Dylan Bennett
Yes lol. t. shifts betwern 78-83 a lot
Caleb Jenkins
going to a bar to meet friends, I have promised myself to only drink coke light (never drink it normally), please bless my journey, father.
Joshua Long
How do you stop being hungry all day long and craving flavor? I can't stop wanting to eat tastier foods and almost makes me wish I had zero taste buds.
>be me >believe CICO >decide to cut out dairy >lose weight faster than CICO would imply
explain that nerds
Justin Nguyen
Get discipline. Or buy a pack of cigarettes
Because you are actually on keto.
Jeremiah Peterson
I lost 30 lbs in 13 days with a combination of water fasting, harsh exercise and then regular days of good diet and exercise as well as tons of water consumption throughout the day. Then I gained 10 lbs in the next 13 days. I had stopped drinking water more than once in the morning and was drinking coffee out the motherfucking whazoo and my exercise completely stopped. I decided to try cutting out coffee/caffeine in general and drink water all throughout the day as a test to see if that would get me back in the groove. I've lost 9 lbs in 3 days. I think I was severely dehydrated I was drinking nothing but coffee and staying up 40 hours at a time. Now I'm back on track and sleeping good. Lots of water and exercise works well for me... if I don't drink lots of water and I don't exercise I seem to gain even if my diet is good. Guess it's because I don't move much at all during the course I'm awake aside from when I exercise specifically.
Ayden Ramirez
Lord that's a lot user. What was your starting weight?
Jaxon Roberts
Whenever im hungry i drink water
William Bennett
385ish
Anthony Edwards
i started at 370
not me
William Sullivan
Thats why I said 'ish'. I already knew around what weight you were at to lose that much that fast.
Luke Baker
what is a good meal before gym? i've used to eat something that has a lot of calories so i can have strenght but it's obvious that i need to eat low calories meals what can give me good amount of power so i want collapse mid deadlift?
ah see but I'm not an untrained noob, guess ill lose muscle then
Liam Scott
It's pretty relevant. Counting calories is not only tedious but doomed to failure.
The conventional weight-loss advice to eat fewer calories carries an estimated failure rate of 99.4 percent. For morbid obesity, the failure rate is 99.9 percent.

just eat enough protein and lift some heavy ass weights while on a deficit i guess
I do 30 pushups a day and situps a day (not counting cardio)

114.8 kilos this morning, biked 55 km but now I really really really fucking want to eat a lot of shit
Josiah Perry
Is it ok to put coconut oil in my morning coffee?
Justin Cook
Yeah. Put some butter in there too.
Jeremiah Cox
What are your plans for when you get thin? Is becoming thin your major goal, or do you have bigger things in mind?
Me >get thin >train for washboard-like body, a little bulkier than ottermode >get the confidence to wear more colorful clothes (really want to be able to pull off shirts like pic related), currently only wear monochrome colors >try my hand at hairmaxxing to fix up the minor hairloss I've experienced while losing weight >learn a new language and instrument to prove to myself I can (tried both previously, horrible self-esteem from being a fatass eventually made me give up)
There's so much that I'm self-conscious about doing as a fatty. I can't wait to be free of reservations like that.
The article literally just analyses the health records of Brits to see how many people obtain a normal weight. It has nothing to do with evaluating the effectiveness of calorie calculating.
The poster is either absolutely fucking retarded or deliberately disingenuous and lying. I think he is probably both. I may be wrong, but I expect he is a bitter man who has failed at losing weight and now addresses that by abrasively spreading disinfo. Whether or not he genuinely believes in the disinfo is irrelevant.
Either way, this is not the first time I have encountered autism of this stripe.
Colton Flores
Is alternate day fasting the most kino way to lose weight?
Charles Gonzalez
To clarify: the study didn't examine weight loss methods at ALL. It just took a random sample of 200,000 people and worked out the probability that any one of those random people would lose weight and keep it off.
>We drew a sample of individuals aged 20 years and older from the United Kingdom’s Clinical Practice Research Datalink from 2004 to 2014. We analyzed data for 76704 obese men and 99791 obese women. We excluded participants who received bariatric surgery. We estimated the probability of attaining normal weight or 5% reduction in body weight.
>Results. During a maximum of 9 years’ follow-up, 1283 men and 2245 women attained normal body weight. In simple obesity (body mass index=30.0–34.9 kg/m2), the annual probability of attaining normal weight was 1 in 210 for men and 1 in 124 for women, increasing to 1 in 1290 for men and 1 in 677 for women with morbid obesity (body mass index=40.0–44.9 kg/m2). The annual probability of achieving a 5% weight reduction was 1 in 8 for men and 1 in 7 for women with morbid obesity.
The study has LITERALLY nothing to do with what is the most effective way to lose weight. LITERALLY nothing at all. It doesn't even study weight loss. It's just fucking statistics.
Kayden Sanders
Low carb is a meme user, don't worry about it. Just make sure you're getting your protons, lots of eggs and meat. Don't worry too much about the carbs but make sure they're within your calorie limits and you limit processed sugar as much as you can. You're gonna make it.
Logan Wilson
My omad meals are starting to look smaller with every passing day. I need moooore food

I've lost 40kgs so far with a high-carb diet, just eat less and exercise more.
