nice projecting. the last time i binged was ~3 months after i started dieting. the urge just does not exist for me anymore. the trick to not being fat is to eat in moderation, not to eliminate all "unclean" foods from your diet permanently.

I always tell my friends and family that I lost 2kg more than I really did so that I feel pressure to actually lose those 2 kg

alright this isnt relaly a /fat/ question but im also fat with u bros so, i broke my scapula a few years back and now when im working out doing stuff like shoulderpress etc it cracks 3 times every single time. Should i be worried?
Brandon Peterson
Is 9x my bodyweight in calories a good goal for losing 2 pounds a week? I want to lose 2 pounds a week.

How many times a week should I mess around with weights? I'm mostly sticking to HIIT but I don't want to neglect my muscles.
Jackson Thomas
Why do i feel so sad when losing weight? Is there even a point to this? I do not feel better at all. I am becoming healthier physically but not mentally. I was happy being able to party with my friends eating shitty food and having a good time.

5'9/10", 220, 27. I do a very simple PPL and try to go through it twice a week. All lifts are done either 10,8,6 or 12,10,8.
My body type was decided long ago in high school though. Did a straight strength routine for 3 years playing football. Some of this is undoubtedly muscle memory. Answered in other thread, didn't know if you came here.
Not what that dude said, but go off.
Ian Cook
I had my OMAD of chicken and broccoli in the afternoon but then my sister, who is down for the weekend, coaxed me into taking me to McDonald's and I got 4 Hot n Spicys. I hate when she is down because she always wants to eat out and I have no self control. She is 5'2" and weighs 300 pounds bros. I'm not sure she's even gonna make it to age 40 bros...
Adam Morris
Holy shit dude she is literally one stroke from death. You should sit down and have a serious talk with her.

>"just drink half bro, that's the key bro. moderation man"
2lbs is a deficit of around 7500kcal. work it out.
Brandon Parker
high test
Angel Johnson
We have. She doesn't understand that her weight is life threatening because she doesn't have any serious health problems that will change her mind and anytime we bring it up she thinks we're just being mean to her. Her blood sugar and blood pressure are somehow at the high end of normal. I don't understand.
I'm 240 at 5'8" and I didn't start losing weight until I was diagnosed with hypertension and it was affecting me. I don't know what we're going to do with her. Best case scenario at this point is she has a stroke that doesn't give her brain damage and scares her into accepting gastric bypass surgery.
Nicholas Mitchell
Learn to enjoy cooking. Instead of having some shitty meal. Try making a new (healthyish) dish from a different country. That's how I make not buying a pizza on a Friday enjoyable.
Henry Murphy
Okay so i'm trying to work this out correct me if im wrong in my calculation, the defecit is of 7500kcal from my TDEE for the week? So if my TDEE clocks in at 2836 then for the week that equals 19,852 calories, minues 7500 equals 12,352 for the week, devided by seven equals 1764 calories for the day to lose 2lbs a week. Is my logic good here or did i fuck up somewhere?
Bentley Hall
Yes nigger that is how you math
Levi Edwards
Yeah, sounds good. Also, weigh yourself every day and make an average every week, it's way more accurate (your weight fluctuates all the time).

201 lbs, 5'8 here was about 211lbs when I started dieting 2-3 weeks ago How do I avoid loose skin? Doing OMAD atm Was around 174 last September then started anti-psychotics and put a bunch of weight on will it matter that I was skinnier recently?
Joshua Nelson
Had a few extra Fathead rolls and some salami last night. Only like 200ish calories over my 1000 deficit, but still worth confessing.
Joseph Lopez
you probably won't get any significant loose skin, you aren't fat enough but if you have it you already have it, not much you can do. lifting will make it less obvious.
Ethan Clark
You should be fine. If 211 was your peak then I doubt you'd get any loose skin. That's not fat enough.
Noah Reed
I have a bit of confusion about my macro split. Various health institutions say that 80 g of protein is more than enough per day. When i target a 40-30-30 (carb protein fat) split, protein comes up to around 160 grams per day at 2100 cal intake. Is that ok? Also should i correct the split? Im M21 182cm 109kg, i have a sedentary job but i go to the gym 3 times a week for some light-moderate exercise (my POV). Should i target higher than 0.5 kg loss per week, i dont want to have extra skin later.
Post body. If you have very little muscle, it's possibly at that weight you'll have loosr skin.
Gavin Wright
>a few extra Fathead rolls and some salami >200ish cal Are you sure?
Henry Cooper
>Post body. haha, no thanks. I can tell you now that I have no muscle without showing me to you. I have stretch marks so my skin probably isnt the best quality. Is lifting the only advice to give, nothing dietary or the speed at which im going to lose weight?
Cameron Howard
people tend to say losing weight slower is best because your skin has more time to adjust as far as diet/products go, as far as i know there's nothing that isn't pseudoscience
Evan Torres
The recipe I used had one batch split into 15 rolls. I weighed the ingredients when making them and used MFP recipes function to calculate them at 80 calories. I had 2 of them and 4 slices (about. 75 oz) of Columbus salami, which comes out to 75 calories, about.
So, more like around 225 I guess.
Josiah Morris
>Is lifting the only advice to give, nothing dietary or the speed at which im going to lose weight? Yeah. At your fattest you were only 30lbs or so over a reasonable weight with muscle. High end of the scale, but still easily attainable. 180 at 5'8" and 15% bf is an off season fullback.
Bentley Gomez
Thank you for making a new thread - they have been archiving or getting close lately
Angel Diaz
Yeah I don't mind. Not like I've got anything better to do.
How fast can a person go from skinny fat to six pack abs? I've heard it takes years but that can't be true
William Cooper
nothing wrong with that amount of protein. that's a pretty good macro split in my books. loose skin is pretty much black magic, there's way too many factors that contribute to know for sure, but you don't have that much to lose so you're probably fine. loose skin does tighten somewhat over a couple years, so if you go slower it tightens as you lose weight. target higher if it's sustainable for you.
Mason Cooper
Murdok here 82,1 kg
Jeremiah Smith
great to have you back mate
Jonathan Martinez
thanks for the answer Funny thing is I cant even manage to hit the carbs when I watch what I eat but its hard to keep the fat under. Any suggestions for high carb low fat foods except oatmeal? Ill try to target 0.75 then because i cant even hit the daily target anyways. Also one more question, is it bad if I drink a shake at like 10 pm, because I barely hit half the protein intake for this day
Angel Barnes
Just assembled this metal boi Dumbbells will arrive soon What are some good exercises for weight loss? I have some but I could always appreciate some more help
The best exercises for weight loss are cardio, so running, cycling etc.
Colton Hughes
That's not true and the sticky certainly doesn't say that
Owen Turner
Does anyone here meal prep without any cooking?
I spend 60% of my days in my work city, and have access to a microwave and a refrigerator at “home,” a rented bedroom near work. At work, I have a toaster oven and a warming oven (180°F). I could probably buy a hot plate but we don’t have much time to cook on midnight shift.
When not working, I fly to my fiancée and I have access to her full kitchen, but ironically no microwave. Oven reheat works though.
Jordan Sanchez
it can be a bit tricky to keep the fat down at first, it's a little hard to tell without seeing your diary, but usually dairy and any pre-made oven foods or fatty/processed meats are part of the problem. try and stick to lean meats like chicken. beef can be a sometimes treat. cook as much as you can from scratch because then you can control the macros to your liking. if you don't use much dairy and only lean meats basically everything is low fat, then just add the amount you need as oils. i like doing fried brown rice with a bunch of random vegetables and chicken, i add 5 or 10 grams of olive oil. protein shakes are pretty great, i add it to my porridge, and have it when i'm bored of chicken. but eating actual food is preferable. hope that helps.
Ryder Russell
I can't really remember but I doubt the sticky tells you not to do cardio. Obviously, it advises to lift first and foremost, but cardio is still the type of exercise that burns the most calories.
William Evans
Cardio is taken care of, I also wanna focus on weight because like the sticky says (+ millions other sources) "weight lifting" hells burns fat and also helps with skin stretching and all that shit
Am I wrong?
Robert Carter
Did that bench not come with a barbell rack?
Matthew Bell
Nope, should I cop one? My dumbbell set is this, figured I didn't need one since I will be using it "dual wield" in the beginning
I know it's babby tier but again very early stages
Yes and you'll also perform infinitely better in bed by all metrics.
Jayden Sanders
Thanks again Yeah I much prefer actual food, I was just wondering if drinking it at 10pm is bad because im way off of my daily protein goal so just to put in another 20g.
Isaac Smith
yes, fat in fupa will go away and your dick won't be buried in fat
Jason Thompson
Time to lose my virginity then
Justin Green
check-em joking or? hahaha that would be nice, would get half an inch for sure
Michael Ward
I’ve gone from 270 to 207 without any loose skin so far and it doesn’t look like I will get it. I also have stretch marks, but they are getting much paler and I’m 33, so maybe I’m just super lucky, or you have to be super fat to get loose skin.
Adrian Reyes
ah right, i don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with eating/drinking at that time, it's better to hit your macros than worry about the details imo. only thing i can think is i avoid taking in any calories 3 hours before bed because it gives me indigestion.
James Williams
If yeah if you can fit it in wherever you live. You should start with whatever you're comfortable with. He's a meme but the athlean x youtube channel has great info on things like proper form and different exercises that can hit whatever muscle you want to work on
Joshua Turner
once more, thank you very much have a nice day
Michael Smith
Not joking at all. Obviously you'll have more stamina, but theres plenty of other benefits to getting fit with regards to sex. You could not name an aspect of sex that is not drastically improved the healthier one is.
John Garcia
Not that guy, but yeah. If you get in better shape, you not only lose the fatpad that makes your dick look small, the added circulation gives you firmer erections and if it's substantial enough, you literally might get a quarter or half inch. You need to do cardio though. My gf can tell when I'm back on my cycling regimen in the summer by if I sweat during sex and how hard my dick is.
Ryan Johnson
I'm planning a secret ice cream binge despite not being able to pay my bills. I'm going to go to the store and essentially buy everything that makes me happy at once. The feast will be all McDonalds, so a Oreo McFlurry, Buttermilk Chicken Meal large, Big Mac meal large, apple pie, large fries, bagel sandwich, and if they have it a rolo mcflurry.
This will happen Monday.
Brandon Young
might be a stupid question, bot how do i delay orgasm, i always come too fucking quick for my liking. she comes too but I dunno id just like it to last longer
Cooper Gomez
6’1 and 245 here.
Am I gonna have problems with loose skin? Max was at 250 a month ago.
fuck yeah this gives me hope, I'm currently 255 pounds and my goal is 180(already lost 50 pounds) and that's my biggest worry. I'm 27 years old, I'm moisturizing my skin with olive oil, taking collagen and doing bodyweight exercises in hopes I avoid too much loose skin. I don't care about the stretch marks
Wyatt Barnes

don't do it man, it's just temporary happiness

>you literally might get a quarter or half inch you don't even know fupa i've got like a whole inch buried in there
Levi Cruz
I haven’t used any oils or collagen or done any exercise btw. But it’s probably smart to do it anyway, especially the exercise.
Every time I try to lose weight I fail. The best result I had was OMAD I lost 18 pounds but then the cravings come back. I'm destined to be a lard ass and die an early death. I just hope God has mercy on me.
>Starving yourself for the entire day led to cravings and binging Imagine my shock
John Morris
eat oatmeal if you need to feel full
Cooper Russell
I know it's a meme diet but maybe try keto+CICO? It eliminated my hunger and cravings so I could follow CICO without problem. Went from 144 kg to 116 kg and I'm still not getting cravings
Mason Moore
ye coincidentally I was just watching that guy (probably because he has a lot of views) youtu.be/y1r9toPQNkM Is what I am thinking of following Any thoughts on it? Looks pretty complete
Adrian Davis
My mentality changed so the only thing that makes me happy is watching the scale numbers go down
But I feel more motivated than ever
Can't tell if this is a toxic mindset or not
Christopher Ward
No, I mean from cardio. Circulation gives you a bit more. At one point I was riding about 175 miles a week, my heart rate was 58, and I could chop wood with my dick.
