Also don't eat a lot of pineapple to make your cum taste better while on a cut. Too many calories.
Blake Brooks
It's just /fph/ having a laugh.

ate half a pizza and like 10 wings hope its okay because i forgot to eat the day before

Holy shit fatfucks, I'm starting to get mires. >coworkers compliment weight loss >Gym thot smiles at me and moves her gym time closer to mine and does her thot glute routines pointing my direction >Random people talk to me with more respect / sincerity instead of casual one word sentences
>tfw mom tells me I look good and that Im losing weight >Can't tell if she's being sincere or just trying to make me feel good T-Thanks mom
Xavier Myers
Felt the same when my family told me. Keep at it, the math doesn't lie. And remember to thank your mom.
Jaxon James
You definitely look better, even if you still hate what you see in the mirror.
Ian Phillips
>10.2 lbs away from my goal weight Man, I hope the paper towel effect is real. I'm a small person so there's some hope, but I'm already mentally preparing to adjust my goal lower again. Thank goodness I'm so far ahead of my weight loss schedule.
How is everyone else's goal coming along?
Joshua Perez
Good for you m8.
Problem with weight loss is the clothing. I'm down 70 lbs and my pants are too loose for me now and I have to rely on belts to keep em on me.
Carson Roberts
I ate 3 bags of chips yesterday and some popcorn instead of the chicken I made
Asher Moore
>You have to have a vagina to be a woman, right? WRONG
Nathaniel Morales
I estimate I'm about 20% bodyfat now, which means maybe 8 kgs to go? I passed my initial goal a while ago. I hope I'm 20%. If I'm less that means I have such a little window between looking good and having a gut.
Passed my initial goal a while ago. It was just a soft goal I guess.
Ehehe, yeah, all my clothes look like roman togas on me now. Ain't buying more though. Fuck it, ruins everyone else's day, not mine.
Jacob Murphy
Got in a car accident the other day and damaged my wrist - nothing broken but there is soft tissue damage - I have a follow up appointment on Monday with my regular doctor so this is all pending what he says but hoping I can start lifting again in roughly 2 weeks (will decrease weight 30-50% to start just to be safe)
Matthew Diaz
I'm down to my last pair of pants that fit, and I'm swimming in most of my shirts. I just wash them a lot and humbly endure looking like a slob. I can't bear to buy any more clothes while I'm only 10lbs away from what I hope is a different sized body.
Anthony Allen
I can't stop binge drinking at the weekends. I have a serious problem. Everything else during the week - motivation, diet, sleep, it's all perfect but as soon as I get out of work on a Friday I just go home and solitarily get blackout drunk.
I'm going to get my BMR measured professionally soon. I'm 100 certain it's lower than any of those basic calculators. Are there actual studied long term ways to get the BMR higher again?
Ian Rivera
only real way to do it is increase your lean mass and regular cardio
Ethan Wright
I didn't count calories most of this last week. Training has been consistent, though. I don't even like junk food, I just like huge portions. I need to keep time-restricting my eating.
Nolan Lopez
Confessing in advance in case I eat popcorn and candy at the theater today.
James Ward
I'm so disgusted with myself. I want to set myself on fire. I weigh 180lb when my ideal weight is 108lb. I'm starting my journey right now.
Weighed in at 160 lbs. 5'10". When do I stop having chub? I do cardio on an exercise bike every day. I have access to a gym, what should I start doing if my goal is just to be lean for the first time since I was like 6 years old? I do omad and keep it around 1400 calories +- 200
"Making it" is just a mindset of being happy in your own body, crafted by hard work and determination. For me, having a good idea of how much to eat came from stepping on that scale every day in the morning. It is a blast to see the number go down.
Henry Moore
Thats exactly what im doing. I started at 450 in feb.
Just hitting a new number every day (except on bullshit plateau days) itself is a feeling im replacing my food addiction with.
At the beginning of may i was 402. At this rate, ill be under 300 by end of summer.

Another helpful tip is OMAD and black coffee/ tea. I do OMAD for lunch(less weird with my office job) and drink coffee throughout the day. Basically, block out an hour eating window and eat whatever you want that is within your TDEE - 500 calories. My TDEE is 2000 or so, so my lunch OMAD at 12-1 is about 1500 calories or so.
I have eaten burgers and fries, fried chicken, pizza, chili, etc. All with OMAD, keeping social appearances up, AND losing weight. It's a cheat code.
Sebastian Price
lift
Juan Baker
84,800kcal so far this year probably less than that, I round up
Jackson Phillips
Anything you recommend? Are squats a meme? I am worried about doing squats because my thighs are thick already. I've attempted lifting in the past but nothing ever stuck because I got discouraged or didn't have a plan.
Juan Robinson
nice job user, im doing XLs now, feels comfy
Jose Torres
Go to AA or whatever is available to you to deal with drinking problems. Alcohol will kill you even faster than being a fatass.
Alexander Thomas
AA is a religious cult. He needs naltrexone
Isaac Bell
Starting Strength in the Jow Forums sticky. Seriously, read the Jow Forums sticky.
Justin Ramirez
I havent been to AA myself, so I don't know what it's like, I just know a couple people who've stopped drinking because of it. If it is a religious cult, I retract my ignorant recommendation. Trading a chemical dependency for mental illness is a poor choice.
Leo Thomas
I have and I see SS memes that scare me. Like the ones with huge thighs and nothing upper body.
Julian Murphy
Moron
Easton Gutierrez
the fact that you recognize it as a problem and have sorted out the rest of your life means itll eventually fall into place dude. maybe try picking up something to do on weekends that promotes health over regression...like running or biking. that way u eventually wont want to drink because u wont be able to do cardio as well. build positive feedback loops
Ryder Bell
put on them running shoes and grab a salad tubby, chad will want to fuck u one day. but that day is not today
Oliver Baker
prolonged fasts are a better cheat code just harder inputs
Leo Martin
Very helpful.
Aiden Allen
>He needs naltrexone >relying on jewish elixirs to cure addiction to jewish elixirs imagine being this guy
Logan Campbell
So I've been doing a ~1000 cal deficit for 3 months now and have been losing 2 pounds a week consistently. I started doing a good amount of weighs and cardio and I've gained 3 pounds over the course of 2 weeks. Is this just water retention? My calorie tracking has been consistently autistic so I'm definitely not overeating, and I'm not counting burned calories into my deficit.
Jose Gonzalez
Does anyone use pro-ana communities as inspiration to lose weight?
I didn't refuse guidance. All I said was that SS scares me due to the anti SS memes posted to fit.
Jason Long
You're not going to get huge anything on SS without exerting more effort than you have in your entire life at the gym each week. It's STARTING strength, not ascent to godlike physique strength. It works because it's simple enough for any knuckle dragger to pick up and stick with.
Jason Robinson

You guys are messed up. Cheating left and right and then acting like you aren't gonna regain everything if you even ever make it.
Logan Collins
That's my goal weight and I'm an inch shorter. FUCK.
Samuel Lee
its unbelievable how human body can change in 3 months, holly shit cutting is EZ
Anthony Lopez
I fit in 32 inch waist pants and American medium shirts if that gives some motivation!

what was your starting point?
Blake Kelly
Donated blood yesterday and I was feeling lightheaded this morning so I bought some Italian chocolate buns.
Luke Perry
About 245 lbs in 2017. I guess I took it really slow, looking back.
I'm not sure if my chub on the picture is loose skin or not. It feels like it has fat behind it. I think I avoided loose skin because I took a long time. And if I remember from things I read, you only have loose skin if you were much larger? I think.
Christopher Parker
looks like a little loose skin to me, still fat behind it. nothing major, will probably tighten up.
Elijah Rodriguez
>be me >250 6'5" >at a party last night for my brothers graduation >ended up making out with a 4'10 95 lb high school girl
I could have crushed her
Owen White
yeah some people say 100lbs is the line but i've seen people loose 80 and have it too thats why is was asking. also age and genetics play a huge part
My genetics are 9/10 trash. Nearly everyone older than me in my family on both sides are overweight or obese in some way. Or have diabetes or heart issues. Mainly the reason I decided to take better care of myself.
Michael Cook
I'm 22 she was 17

seeing your family doesn't spike your weight, eating does you fatty. another stress eater

I love Döner man
Eli Scott
Canadian beer is the only thing in the country worth consuming. Beer makes me want to eat so I did. Also what the fuck happened to this place why is it all poos and chinks?
According to MFP it’s only 650/700 cal with 40-50 grams of protein old how accurate that is though?
Carter Rivera
still dropping about 3lbs a week, same rate as 80lbs ago the woosh never ends
Jackson Wilson
>May 3rd weigh 151 lbs >May 10th (after tons of binging) weigh 159.4 lbs >realize my fuck up and hit the ground running, with fasting and going back to the gym >May 17th back down to 150.4 lbs I realize that most of that weight on may 10th was probably just food in my colon (since this weigh in day was after a 3 day fast) but it still feels damn good.
Samuel Wilson
Cut the booze, but if you can’t just yet, stick with straight liquor. Beer & wine has more calories, as do mixers and chasers. The only thing you should drink is straight liquor, with water chaser.
Ian Cruz
>Also what the fuck happened to this place why is it all poos and chinks?
They have money and are buying up everything.

!!!FACT!!!
William Miller
On Saturday to Monday I only had half a chocolate bar.
On Tuesday to Thursday I went to McDonalds, burger king, and KFC. And had other junk food at home.
I can't handle not having this. My life is boring and the chemical goodness of junk food binges is all that helps.
Isaiah Torres
How big are you?
Aiden Hill
You can make "healthy" food taste good too, if you season it right. You don't have to eat plain chicken and broccoli for the rest of your life.
Kayden Peterson
Never gonna make it. Just leave the thread and eat yourself to death, miserable fuck.
Nicholas Carter
I was 184lbs 33 minutes ago
Michael Bennett
>My life is boring The good thing is you won't live very long eating like that.
Camden Jackson
How short are you then? Losing 3lbs a week at that weight seems unusual for an average sized man, unless you're doing something retarded.
