Daily reminder that plateaus that last several days to WEEKS are normal and you don't need to make a post about this
Daily reminder that if you're absolutely 100% for sure eating at a deficit and you gain up to 10lbs in a day it's W A T E R W E I G H T This is normal and you don't need to make a post about it.
working on it, im in the middle of a plateau right now for some reason
Thomas Jones
I have plateaus every now and then, probably water weight as a few days later I lost a shit ton of weight
Anthony Young
Had a slice of cheesecake, 2 scoops of ice cream in a cone, and an order of alfredo pasta today. I graduated today and my parents made me go out and I guess I went overboard. I still think I'm in a deficit though
Dominic Morris
Fuck I like soda way too much and I need to stop.
I’m getting better tho
Isaac Wilson
just to clarify i'm 5'9 and 187 pounds in this pic
its been a month, but recently i weighed myself and i began dropping again, but i weighed myself this morning and it was back at my plateau weight.
Ian Rivera
Just stick with it and you'll make it. If you feel weak and eat some chocolate, compensate with cardio or something.
Lucas Roberts
i did everything i could except add cardio already, recalculated tdee, adjusted diet, make extra sure im adding EVERYTHING to myfitnesspal. I think im back on track right now, and i'm gonna start putting my scale readings in an excel spreadsheet
William Lee
Even if diet is the most important, if you haven't already, start lifting so your body keeps the muscles you have and get your protein RDI.
My weightloss sped up a ton and heartrate went from 80 resting to 62 resting after I added cardio every other day. It sucks and is boring but if you stream movies or something to watch it aint so bad.
If your knees are fucked like mine are the cross trainer still works very good and don't aggrevate the pain
Ethan Myers
trust me i do a lot, i made to bitch about my plateau
Christopher Reed
Goodnight anons, dream of making it tonight, because WE ARE ALLL GOING TO MAKE IT!
I warm up with an hour of cardio on lift days, as far as I can tell it hasn't negatively affected my lifts, weak as they may be. Then cardio on offdays out in nature. Sure you can just eat less and ignore cardio but it's hard to get the fuckton of protein you want without overextending on calories

>eat rack of BBQ ribs for dinner >come home >put into my fitness pal >1120 calories

Cameron Clark
Honestly speaking, your body fat percentage is very high to the point where knowing what value it is is almost pointless. It's high, like 30s.
Gavin James
proton supps are magical
Henry Hernandez
navy measurements put me at exactly 25% a month ago, when i started i was 29% according to the formula
Robert Clark
An entire rack? 1,120 seems like a very conservative number. I think you're probably looking at 1500-1800.
Robert Rodriguez
also if im being honest with myself my diet isn't exactly "clean" but it worked down to this point. I literally cut 25 pounds eating nothing but mcdonalds and long john silvers for my one meal and boosting protein with supps. i should probably clean up my diet and cut normally.
Chase Fisher
Might as well, go at it 100% so you'll be decently fit by next summer, the faster we can start a real clean bulk the better.
Angel Reed
Do cats like fast food? I alway picture dogs eating people food but it's weird picturing cats doing it.
Jeremiah Jackson

Justin Parker
>but it worked down to this point. It sounds like it is the limiting factor then. You already seem to know how to break through your plateau, clean up your diet or cut harder. I don't think there is a reason you should be doing 1 hour of cardio every single day just from a time perspective that is way too much imo and just not time efficient. I think if you cleaned up your diet and cut harder you would not have to do nearly as much cardio.
Justin Wright
They will eat most human food. Its not good for them but theyll eat it
Oliver Cook
gonna add chin ups to my routine but I can barely do one, what's the best exercise to build up to chin ups? negatives? lat pulldown?
Negatives or band assisted. I hate negatives so I use bands. I can currently do 2 without assistance.
If you have a bar in a convenient place, you can do many sets of 1 rep throughout the day.
Connor Gutierrez
If you gain 5 to 10 lbs in a day it's the water you drank, food you ate, and shit you haven't shitted making you heavier, plus you wake up slightly dehydrated from not drinking for 8 hours
>But they only give you one spoon, cause they know
Aiden Moore
Real question. Sounds like a shitpost but honest question. Can you break a fast from eating pussy? Like consuming too much mucus, is there enough of a calorie content to break a fast?
William Ortiz
people are getting 10lb swings? I go crazy about my 1-2 lb swings that would drive me mental. Also being sick and having to skip on gym or going easier in the gym is making me paranoid like im gonna gain back all the weight I dropped. Who else has a lowkey eating disorder?
so i ate five eggs for for a no-carb meal the other day and it was like swallowing razor blades as far as my digestion went. it was like 24 hours of agony as it worked its way through my fat guts. wtf? I thought eggs were supposed to be "the perfect food"? I've eaten $40 of Arby's in a single sitting in my long, fat life and never had a tummy ache like that.
fuck eggs.
Asher Butler
You might have peptic ulcers, you should definitely go to a doctor
Connor Williams
ate 2 pieces of deep dish pizza 2 days in a row, but I needed something to push all the crap out, but forgive me
How do I do IF when it makes my stomach feel like it's digesting itself?
Hudson Wilson
that's a chemical response to jump start your system when you approach a normal eating cycle, just ignore it user be strong, your body will reprogram it's self,
I already know I'm going to be thinking about this post all day
Yes you can. Unless something is physically impossible, it can be done. Every journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Liam Smith
Really coming to enjoy my yoga practice. Can't wait until I can do crazy poses. I'm doing Yoga with Adrienne's 30 day challenge. It's challenging but joyful. Also doing reddit's calisthenics routine and c25k. Walking 10km a day and limiting myself to 1500 nutritious calories. Gotta hit all the bases. I want to be 150lb by mid-september (currently 176) and 107lb by next February.
Nicotine is a cheat code for weightloss I swear. It kills literally all of my drive to eat.
If you don't mind getting addicted to a USB stick and fucking up your lungs for life if you do it for more than two years.
Landon Cruz
no one cares beast
Wyatt Jenkins
I took up smoking to help with weight loss and it is a good appetite suppressant.
Owen Edwards
I'm not a beast. I'm just a fat user on a weight loss journey like all of us in this thread. Please try and be more kind and thoughtful. We fat anons have to respect each other if we're ever going to make it.
Jackson Barnes
I was never slimmer than when I used to smoke
Then again I was also about five years younger so w/e
I am going to have to go to the hospital soon and I really don't want to. I'm putting it off as much as I can.
Luke Rodriguez
>brother moved in with me last week, hes 18 I'm 23 >he's trying to cut like 30 lbs I'm trying to cut 60 >starting OMAD/Keto tomorrow >Every other day we are doing test strips and if one of us doesn't test positive for ketones we owe the other person 20 bucks
Hopefully I'm able to knock out my cut before the end of july. Pretty motivated.
Jackson Jones
water ice(ice pop, popsicle) is gods gift to fatties in summer. 18 calories a piece
Cuz I think ill have to be admitted. I rly dont' want that. I hoping it would have passed by now, but I'm actually in pain regularly now and feel like i wanna throw up.
Isaiah Nelson
stats? how long?
Kayden Morris
mate, just go
Easton Cox
Since start of feb, taking a small break in between.
Lifting 5 times a week. 20mins minimum of cardio every week but adding an extra 5 mins of cardio in every week. so finishing on about an hour of cardio.
track with mfp
Benjamin Ross
97.2kg > 79.7kg
Probably about over a about four months with a few week break from dieting in middle
Very impressive, I'm genuinely motivated by this, good work lad
Eli Gomez
Everyone knows that dieting can be hard AF. Especially since we often think we're making good food decisions when we're actually not.
If you've been patting yourself on the back for starting your day off with a seemingly healthy banana, I have some bad news for you. Eating bananas for breakfast isn't as healthy as you may think.
In fact, it turns out that consuming this yellow fruit as an AM snack could actually be sabotaging your entire diet. Yeah, I know. I felt pretty betrayed by my beloved bananas when I found out about this too.
While bananas may have a pretty good rep, due to their abundance of potassium, magnesium and fiber, nutritionist Dr. Daryl Gioffre recently gave Byrdie the inside scoop on why bananas are such a bad breakfast choice.
He explains that bananas have a super high sugar content and a moderate acidity level, which results in a quick sugar-fueled energy boost, followed by a crash that leaves you tired and hungry.

I ate two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and drank large soda.
Chase Parker
This is me at work. >Aren't you hot, user? >How can you wear a sweater? >I'm dying I don't know how you can wear that. To be fair I'm not really getting warm, but I still sweat a lot. They say similar things in the winter when I only wear a sweater and ask if I'm cold.
My obesity is all about my mental health. I know what I should eat, I know how to count calories, how much protein I need, and so on. But I emotionally eat, if I don't eat I feel a lot of anxiety. How the fuck do I tackle this? Is there a form of therapy that's suited for me? "Discipline" and "stop being a little bitch" isn't enough for me, I need mental help.
Jonathan Morales
you just do it bro
Jackson Peterson
get in contact with a counsellor if it's something you can't handle yourself. but the truth is that the only cure for anxiety issues is doing the thing you fear over and over.
Ayden Evans
L.O.L. (That’s laughing out loud) Tht KITTEH is eating a CHEEZEBURGER! Do you think she’s saying “I can haz cheezeburger?” R.O.F.L.
Wyatt Bailey
You can go to a CBT therapist who'll charge you to do health plans and track your calories, or you can go to a hypnotherapist and pay someone to tell you "you aren't a little bitch." Just
Ayden Gray
Don't buy any food that isn't good for you, if you buy that bag of chips then your a fucking faggot. Remember this the next time you go for a snack "run" you fat failure. And the next time you inevitably fail to achieve your goals, remember pic related. Burn it into you brain. REMEMBER THIS POST.
>are you hot, user? “I’ve been told I am” is the only acceptable answer
Bentley Rogers
For me it was about fixing anxiety first. Nofap unironically
Jason Foster
But the thing is that I don't have anxiety for a specific reason (that I can think of anyway), it's just fucking there.
Jayden Sullivan
If you fix the diet and do cardio the anxiety will start to vanish. Your stomach works with your serotonin and eating the wrong (shitty) foods will cause anxiety. The other option is they put you on an ssri. Just make small and gradual changes. Start by having a banana, yogurt, eggs and a whey shake for breakfast. Every week eliminate bad shit and add in better healthier shit
Jaxon Carter
you're not letting yourself admit what it is, that's where a counsellor can help you. then once you know what it is you have to expose yourself to it repeatedly, or take action in your life that removes it (depending on what it is). you're using eating as a coping mechanism, so latent anxieties come to the surface when you stop. it's not exactly atypical behaviour amongst fatties, but some people have a tougher time with it than others.
Ryan Cox
also this, most fatty anxieties tend to come from underlying fears about your health, early death, wasting your life, being judged by others, etc. usually just sorting your shit out is the cure.
Blake Evans
Looking very good dude, keep it up!

Josiah Cox
I've had the same problem for a long time, but I sort of had a breakthrough where I decided to meditate and throw out all entertainment including the internet. I noticed how I pretty much only ate because I wanted to do it while consuming something else. You also have to learn that food only lasts 5 minutes, and is not worth the pain that comes afterwards.
