Sorry about your pet, user. I lost mine a few months ago and it still hurts.

I'm ~260 myself, would ellipticals and elliptical bikes be alright? I've been working out on them for 30-40 minutes each for the last 2 weeks as well as weight machines. I dont think ive felt any pain in my knees so far but I've dropped from ~290 since 2 months ago
Kevin Jones
>5'9 >174 lbs >still a blob how low do i need to go for a normal skinny fat body
Daniel Wilson
Yeah not eating anything will kill pets
Benjamin Hill
ellipticals are great low-impact cardio. they were pretty much invented for fatties and people with joint issues. only thing better is swimming.
Joseph Wood
Same height but I'm at 158. It all depends on how much muscle you have overall. I barely have any so I gotta go to maybe 147-150 to be at 12% bodyfat
Tyler Jenkins
I missed yesterday's work out from bring exausted after a 2.5 hour drive home from work. Had a shit ton of carbs and some beer today too. These last few days have not been well for my diet. Gonna get my pass for my new works gym Monday so then I don't have a reason to skip from being too far away
You'll never be a normal skinnyfat if you were ever obese. Stretching out your skin ruins you permanently.
Joseph Taylor
not necessarily. i've seen people here lose 100 lbs and not get any major loose skin.
you need to lift
Isaiah Wilson
sorry, i mean
you need to lift
Ryder Robinson
I started limiting my calories recently and I only eat after 6pm. My problem is that even after eating a meal with most of my daily calories, I still feel I weird hunger. It's not that my stomach is empty because it's not, but I feel a hunger in my throat. is this normal?
William Lewis
I have a similar issue,I believe it's related to an insulin spike after a large meal. Your blood sugar drops in response to insulin and, at least in my case, I get cravings for sweets immediately after a meal. Ironically, the biggest risk area for binging for me is following a big dinner.
Colton Cruz
I want to die so fucking bad
Jason Phillips

Had 4 beers (ipas) and I ordered what I thought was a bratwurst, but WOOPS it was a double cheeseburger. However, I lifted super hard and heavy today, and ran 7 miles today. This was the first time I hung out with people in about a year, so I think the 800ish calories in beer was worth it. I'll just do a double run tomorrow to make up for the beers.
Should I do anything besides not give in to the cravings?
Eli Diaz
just tired of life. I've basically developed an eating disorder and body dysmorphia over the past 12 months.
Anthony Williams
Metamucil. Believe me. Take a tbsp of the sugarfree kind after you eat
Matthew Brown
Knowing what generally triggers cravings is already a great start. For myself, I prefer a few smaller meals throughout the day, and if you don't want to change your meal habits, get something sweet with great volume but low calorie. My go-to are those water bottle flavor packets, two sticks of those in two 500ml bottles of water, down them real quick and your stomach is instantly full, you satisfy your sweet cravings and you only spend about 20 calories.
Parker Carter
I was actually thinking about going to get a half sweet, half unsweet tea to see if that helped
Asher Hughes
What does it do?
Asher Campbell
It's a fiber supp. Helps with fullness / pooping. Personally, it helped me with the post meal cravings that you're experiencing
Eli Foster
I see, I could definitely add some fiber to my diet
Thomas Campbell
>tfw someone said I look great and got so much skinnier I think im finally on the right path. The workouts and dieting is finally working and I'm finally having a little confidence now
does anyone know if icebaths actually give good calorie loss or if its just a very unsafe metabolism booster? I’ve tried looking it up and am getting really different results.
Nicholas Long
Heres what i at today, lardos:
3g ginger: 2/0
Total: 2 calories / 0g protein
Evan Russell
What do you guys drink?
I drink a lot of cordial (squash here in the UK) but I'm starting to think it may not be the best thing for me, but it's a low calorie alternative to water.
Im 5'8 153 and I still have some fat, 174 is still pretty fat.
David Taylor
Lift
David Lewis
Someone talk me out of buying a pizza please
Chase Rivera
why?
Kevin Lewis
But you should eat it man, you deserve it and it will be delicious, it's just one day man.
Chase Torres
Had an absolutely massive cheat day yesterday (probably 4-5000kcal). Not the biggest deal in the world since I'm at a """"""""""""healthy""""""""""""""" BMI, but still.
so faggot, i have one question, a lost a lot of weight in the last year, and i want more to loss, but my question is, should i start to build up muscles ? or wait until i'm done and then build up muscles?
>that stubborn belly fat fold below the button it can be stubborn all it wants, it better not deflate into a ballsack of loose skin, I've escaped without it and I'm at 90% of my goal right now.
>5'8 >started out 354.6 lbs on may 27th >Today jun 2nd I'm at 349.2 lbs Its not great but i'm going to keep going until i'm down to 165 no matter what it takes
>24.99999 BMI with no muscle mass >I can eat whatever I want now :)
Samuel Wilson
seething
Oliver Torres
Its totally up to your when to stop weight loss. Post body if you want our opinion if you should stop cutting
Kayden Roberts
literally me
Benjamin Morris
>i'm going to keep going until i'm down to 165 no you won't. you already allowed yourself to get to 350. you're gonna fall back into old habbits
Jacob Carter
I can't stop eating out. I'm becoming a fat manchild retard and it feels bad that many of my friends are making big money while I wage cuck at a fat person job
Asher Ross
they do burn some calories, snake juice guy has a video on it. iirc it turned out to about 6 hours in ice water to burn a pound. i'd rather do fork putdowns personally
Matthew Davis
guess we will have to see
Austin Clark
Woah, what a revelation I just touched my belly and the fat has gone from very hard to soft what does this mean?
Zachary Morgan
Am i an endomorph, a mesomorphp, or a mix of both? Started training 3 days ago
How much sleep are you guys getting? I feel like the fact I get less than 6 hours on weeknights is really fucking me up, but it's so hard to force yourself to sleep longer when you know you have to go to work once you get up.
I did keto piss test but I just pee'd on the test strip instead of pissed in a cup and dipping the strip there. The colour was somewhere between "moderate" and "high" but it wasn't deep dark purple. Anyone else done the ketostix test?
Joshua Rogers
Implying its not a real thing.
Bentley Cruz
Keto is one of the worst possible diets to lose weight with.
Benjamin Jones
here we go again lads
Joseph Richardson
Sure it is buddy
Owen Clark
whichever is the fat one
Jayden Hall
I cant stop eating
Samuel Powell
I tried a Hershey cookies and cream import product. I smelled like vomit and tasted of old milk and sugar. Not worth it.
