I've not counted my calories for the past two weeks, missed my jog session for thursday and lifts on friday, forgive me Padre for I have sinned.
Christopher Thomas
went from 260 to 160 between 2015 and 2017, now im back up to 230 already why am i such a retard
Jonathan Carter
Hey I did that too and I'm back at 165 again. This time I won't stop counting calories and will weigh in weekly with immediate response if my weight starts creeping up.
Anthony Roberts
when your pants don't fit anymore don't buy new ones live with the shame of wearing pants with their zippers loose so you get motivated to lose it FATTY
Camden Miller
Haven't fapped to 3D in years
Asher Wilson
Because you have literally no intake regulating instincts, so it doesn't matter squat to your body if you're thin now, if you stop giving a shit you're going to bloat like a synthol sucker.
Ryder Butler
I have never fasted for more than 5 days because I get bored and binge it all back. I went from 250 to 190 in a few months at the start of 2018, and haven't gone under 190 since. Just started exercising/counting/browsing Jow Forums again though.
>TFW mommy make ood for me so i have to eat Write today how you're going to do it, but you need to tell her you're going to be in charge of your own nourishment.
Xavier Harris
500 calories a day brah here.
Hit 217lbs today. All I ate was 7 eggs last night so it’s clearly some water. Shits getting easier everyday. Energy is normal again. The only issue I have is I get lightheaded a few times each day when I stand up. I’m not too concerned about this, it’s just something I need to be aware of. Drinking about a gallon of water a day. Eating like 4 multivitamins a day too.
When I get under 200lbs I’m going to add 50-100 calories every two days until I start maintaining weight and then maintain for a few weeks as a break before ultimately dropping into a 500 calorie deficit and just losing 1lb a week from that point.
What’s easier said than done? I’m like 1.5 weeks into this.
Do you think having one day a week where I eat 1800 calories (like a 600 cal deficit) would be beneficial in anyway to such an extreme cut?
Leo Hernandez
>you binged because you were fucking hungry I don't know about that guy, but my binges have zero placement in reality.
Jacob Nelson
a steep deficit usually leads to yo-yoing in spite of all the "it won't happen to ME" bravado it's a ridiculously hard pit to climb out of, all you need is patience
Easton Flores
they do, you just haven't discovered the trigger
Ethan Jenkins
Oh yeah I 100% know this and agree. I’m just doing this so when I start emt academy in a few months I’m a bit healthier. I don’t wanna have to tuck in my uniform everyday with shitty lovehandles protruding out. Also so I don’t get halfway through the course and then the uniform doesn’t fit and I need a new one.
Gavin Martin
nice. daily sodium intake on easy mode
Sebastian Wood
I am 4ish pounds away from technically being in the healthy weight bmi range yet I still feel like a blob. I can bearly look at myself in the mirror.
you're a medfag then are you not worried about syncope?
Jordan Powell
>tfw finally made it to 210 lbs Only 60 more pounds to go before I'm at a healthy bmi
Michael Evans
paper towel soon brother
Alexander Allen
I don't know what that means, nonny.
Logan Lopez
I won't spoil it for you then
Josiah Cox
Most people look best at 19-22 BMI unless they lift. An adult male looks fine with no more than 10 kg of total body fat
Daniel Perry
>tfw 22.8 I don't look fat in clothes anymore, unless I'm wearing my old baggy stuff need to throw that away once I get a new wardrobe
Gabriel Howard
Nope. I’m getting lightheaded but as of now I’m neet. When I start the course I’ll be eating like 2000 calories a day again.
Andrew Hughes
I'm poor and the gym is really far. What calisthenic routine should I start doing daily to avoid losing muscle mass while cutting?
Alexander Gray
about 4 years ago now I was doing a crash diet, eating something like 100kcal a day for as long as I could until I just snapped and got a dozen burgers, then the day after I'd start again Was working in a hotel at the time, and it was a really hot day, I was trying to get chewing gum out of the carpet, on my knees for about 15 minutes (you can guess what happened next) I stood up, felt a rush and then the next thing I know I'm on the floor, smashed all my teeth and got mad carpet burns all over my face. Unpleasant to say the least.
James Parker
I had a Sonic Reeses Blast after my Sunday workout and a little Debbie oatmeal cream pie after my Tuesday workout. I would have confessed this in a previous thread but I didn't trust the /fat/ Rabbi.
Dominic Nguyen
Damn dude that sounds fucking awful. Honestly when I start getting lightheaded I’ve been splitting my 500 calories up. For example I’m about to eat a banana and thats been keeping me from getting lightheaded until I eat dinner
Noah Wright
just be smart is all I'm saying losing weight shouldn't come at the cost of your health, however ironic that is
Benjamin Collins
ya mon
Christopher Wright
Jamaican and Haitian food is the best. If any of you guys get a chance to try goat jerk or soup juomou then do it. The soup puts you to fucking sleep but it’s so worth it if you’re not cutting
T. Fucks black girls
Tyler Lee
Do I still need to watch my weight if I can visibly see progress every week? I've almost lost all my belly fat, and my double chin is gone. It's fucking tight, last I checked was 190lbs from 240
John Ramirez
how do you stop eating because of boredom? The temptation is killing me and my weight losses
Ethan Jackson
find something else to do never be watching the clock waiting until it's time to eat
Justin Kelly
Should I try fasting if I work a physical job that requires a lot of heavy lifting and walking around? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.
Blake Jones
do jumping jacks
James Reyes
It was the hardest thing.for me, but once you get past that losing weight is just waiting, Counterintuitively, learning recipes and budgeting my time on what to prepare and how would keep me busy. Also something that helped me at nighttime was brushing my teeth, once I started doing that it's like something in my head flipped the signal to not eat.
Angel Russell
Y'all got gyno? I'm finally close to being lean and still having tits is pissing me off. Also one tit started getting sore for the past 2 weeks so I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. I hope they cut it out.
Parker Myers
No, you don't have gyno. No one in this thread does. It's such a rare thing that chances are, you don't have gyno. Simple as that.
Cameron Rivera
I feel like I'm cheating when drinking diet soda but its so good I fucking love sprite zero
Ate 1400 cals instead of 1100-1200 cals yesterday, even though my deficit should be 1600 cals total and I got hit by another plateau. Ended up eating a bunch of carbs - noodles and half a hoagie roll so scale shows 181 lbs, even though I know for a fact I'm in the high 170s now.
Gabriel Diaz
Do you have some kind of solid lumps in your titties? Are your tits female-ish? Pointy nipples? Those are the usual signs of gyno
If your tits are soft and there is no solid fat then it could be just fat and not gyno. It's a little bit difficult to tell the difference. Only losing weight will tell.
Jose Hughes
I can't get enough of carbonated diet drinks either even though it fucks up my teeth. It's either monster ultra or diet coke for me.
Aiden Butler
I went to a churrascaria on Sunday, and gained 18lbs in 2 hours. That's 8% of my bodyweight going in, and half of what I've been trying to lose this year.
Lucas Rogers
Are you that eevee avatarfag who said he didn't want to lift because he was lazy? If that's the case, you deserve it. That's what happens when you half-ass your way out of being a fattie
Bentley Hall
How's that even possible? How can you still be alive?
Jaxon Cooper
>eevee avatarfag who said he didn't want to lift because he was lazy
I lift a lot. Not sure if you are confusing me with someone else. I legit went to the gym today too. Sorry, nonny, you got the wrong guy!
Mmm, I guess it was someone else. Avatarfagging with pokemon is so common, you know
Caleb Barnes
Yes, I've had solid lumps since I was 12 when I hit puberty and they're very noticeable now that I'm leaner. I'm like 10 lbs from goal weight and starting to get upper ab definition but I still have tits. As I mentioned in my original post, the hard tissue on one side has started to get sore recently (the bigger side) so I'm going to the doctor.
Aaron Flores
Fucking Matt Stonie. Don’t be fooled though, he’s doing cardio (and supposedly weights although doesn’t look like it) 6 days a week and tracking calories super carefully most of the time. When he does a competition or one of these challenges he only drinks water and whey for the next two days after
Jacob Nelson
skipped the gym yesterday
Jaxson Ward
I've been cheating the past week. Gained 2kg back but it's sitting there now. I find whenever I get myself to a personal best, I get complacent and delay myself for the next week or so, how do I stop getting complacent upon reaching a short-term goal?
I destroyed the weights in the gym and broke my body down more than I could have ever imagined before. I then went to a fast food place and ate like a fucking king
i pulled a muscle in my ass or something, it's been 5 or 6 weeks of limping around now. Have barely done any exercising in that time
Nathaniel Bailey
I kinda assumed that he purges. Guess not then.
Juan Ortiz
Youre getting lightheaded from low blood pressure due to lack of electrolytes it will only get worse untill you get tunnel vision / passout, drinking gallons of water is only serving to flush even more electrolytes that arnt being replenished. I nearly passed out in the shower from low electrolytes because warm water lowers your blood pressure even further.
Jaxon Cox
Who said he doesn't? is what Matt wants you to believe
Jack Hill
no way I thought he gorges on junk every day
Ethan Richardson
>short term goal Start by calling your "goals" what they are, an excuse to pat yourself on the back and stuff your glut hole with food every time you lose 10 lbs. You're still fat and you still don't know how to eat so what the fuck do you think you achieved that's noteworthy?
>tfw day 11 of the longest plateau of my life Fuck, this is annoying. I was convinced that the "last ten pounds are the hardest" was an overexaggerated meme because I'd never had more than a five day plateau before.
Joseph Gonzalez
Welcome to hell. Day 30 here.
Liam Peterson
How do I make cooked spinach taste good?
Camden Fisher
When you put it like that, it's hard to argue. Guess I do need to get myself more long-term oriented and stop "giving myself a break", so to speak. Thanks for the tough love, Maid-user.
my mom brought home a steak, shrimp, and potato dinner and shamed me into eating it because it was so expensive
still, down to 214.5 so I am on the right track
Jacob Thomas
Going to have my very first cheat day this Friday since it's midsummers eve and that's quite a big event here. Haven't eaten over 1300 calories in almost 5 months now so I'm a bit excited and scared at the same time.
Dominic Green
Ehh I wouldn’t be surprised if what I posted is just a lie he says but still. Imagine a guy with a great ripped physique competing in that shit though, tht would pretty cool. Top prizes are in the thousands $$$ too
Evan Green
>Day 30 Absolute fucking hell. I want to be done with this cutting shit so bad and finally buy some clothes that fit.
Joseph Thompson
don't overdo it, you aren't going to be able to eat what you used to. I'd reccomend trying to eat what your maintenance calories at your goal weight will be to start to train your body for that so you don't yo-yo. Also be prepared for horrible shits the next day.
Henry Bailey
be careful bro you will fucking bricks back on if you aren’t
t. once gained nine pounds from a two day long cheat
Xavier Sullivan
Just be careful to not eat too fast. Let your stomach signals reach your brain and don't fall prey to any urge to binge.
David Miller
If you are for sure eating at a deficit then you will lose weight eventually, youll likely get a woosh effect and drop 4lb in a few days. This is what happened to me when i got closer to my goal, sometimes i would have to wait 4 - 6 weeks to drop 4lb then i said fuck it and started water fasting 4 days a week and eating at a large deficit the other 3 and i got back to 4lb losses every 1-2 weeks. If you want to maintain timely losses you have to increase the deficit the smaller you get you can kill yourself doing hours of cardio or you can fast or you can take the slow road and wait months to see results.
I'm so tired of planning my meals. Before I'd just go and grab something from the supermarket, but now I have to be extra careful about carbs, calories and such. I've also been craving sugar since Sunday. I'll fast tomorrow and I hope it helps.

Anthony Bennett
Give me half your commission and I'll take the survey
I got completely burned out on meal planning and cooking a few months into the diet. I only cook about once a week on average now, and everything else I eat is no more complex than a bowl of cereal. I can't bring myself to give a fuck about eating any healthier.
Samuel Hall
January 230 lbs 165 lbs
Adam Young
There's nothing wrong with eating at maintenance whenever you want really, it just delays the point at which you will reach your goal, but the fact that you're gaining fat back says that you've stopped tracking calories, which is a big no no. You NEED to track your calories no matter what goal you reach or how much you go over your limit. Every day, for the rest of your life. Maybe you don't want autistically track calories for the rest of your life because that's not what normal people do, but all those "normal" people are going to get fat by age 35 and not know what to do about it.
I didn't realize how much lifesaver gummies were. Good fuck. One bag was 600 calories. Thankfully that was the worst indulgence I had.

Aiden Taylor
>tfw 235lbs on scale granted, I just woke up and it will go up as I replenish my fluids a bit, but I'm pretty happy with my progress since the start of the year. I started at around 285lbs at 6'1" and I couldn't believe that I let myself get so out of shape. even now, I'm 50-60lbs overweight, which is fucking crazy, but also exciting because I'm going to see some nice facial gains and be handsome af.
also worth noting I'm on day 2 of a 4 day fast. people seem to meme on fasting on this thread, but the shit works if you are also making an effort to change your habits outside of fasting, which I am and have.
