Congrats, you're making it

Luis Allen
I couldn't wait for the frozen meat to thaw so I... ate it.. stone cold. I guess I integrated some water too but I nearly broke a teeth
Isaiah Phillips
fuck didn't mean to quote
Lucas Russell
from someone who was in that situation- keep cutting do NOT try and bulk
Dylan Morgan
Chipping away at all this fat, hope to be at my goal weight of 150 by the end of October.
I'm hoping to speed things up after the few weeks of losing a lot slower than I had hoped due to diploma exams and a family vacation. I can't wait until I'm a normal weight again.
man, where the fuck are you supposed to get calories from without pizza and cake? a full plate of chicken, rice and veg with any sauce barely tips 500kcal
Luke Wilson
Is drinking a 1000 cal a day of alcohol a viable diet if that's all I consume
Austin Campbell
anyone know how many calories are in a slice of costco pizza if you just pick the cheese and tomato sauce off the top and throw away the dough?
Brandon Wright
that's confidential info lad
Landon Barnes
viable in what sense? as in it can fulfill your nutrient needs for extended periods of time? of course not as in it will keep you full and satiated? no as in it will you lose weight if you can somehow stick to it? yes, CICO don't be a retard.
Daniel Wright
I literally have no gym equipment but want to at least do some basic lifting while I lose weight so I'm not a total skinnyfat when I'm done. Is it enough to buy a couple of dumbbells and lift with those as well as doing basic excerices without weights like push ups, sit ups and squats?
Or should I just fess up some money for a gym membership?
Henry Powell
Theres a guy who done this for lent and lost 44lbs in 45 days.
Had an 800-900kcal burrito today. It's the only thing I ate I guess at least, if I have anything else it will be exclusively fruit or an individual skyr
Do chin ups/pull ups/hammer grips count if my hands aren't quite shoulder width apart? Does that make it too easy? I bought a bar and was very surprised I could do a chin up, and even more surprised I could do 3.
Keep strong and abstain. Or; grilled chicken wrap, extra lettuce, no sauce, picante and pepper packets, water.
Joshua Gomez
If you are serious score a silicone scalp massager, dermastamp and Kirkland minox from the net. Stop using shampoo unless it's Nizoral. Cold rinse only.
Caleb King
Or learn a new hobby/craft. Welding, juggling, instrument, cards, etc.
Thomas Wilson
This. Caffeine or nicotine gum is a godsend in the beginning as well.
Camden Hernandez
Yes they still count. Work on varying your grip as your strength improves.
Josiah Harris
Plank until failure, right now. Post stats when finished. >5'11, 202 pounds >2 minutes and 40 seconds

Based anti-keto company only half ass pretending its not to keep people buying bread
Not defending keto, but most of those nutrients are in there because it's fortified and mandated that bread has to be by law...
Colton Sanchez
What is keto defficient in that causes hair loss anyway?
Ryder Gomez
if there's too much meat in the diet, could be a biotin deficiency. could also just be the shock of switching to no carbs that shocked your body into losing hair. apparently it happens a lot with sudden lifestyle changes
Bentley Miller
>was just over 240 >would eat several times a day, and basically just whenever I was hungry or bored >would always eat way too much every time I ate and felt too full and gross >lots of late night eating >would eat tons cereal and bread >if I bought donuts or somebody else brought donuts I could eat 4-5 no problem, and then eat more the next day if any were left
>finally changed diet >try to eat only 3 meals a day >way smaller portions >no more sugary shit >lots of veggies like broccoli and spinach >dont eat anything past 8pm
>down 5lbs so far >already feel better because Im not all gross and full of food all the time, as well as better quality food going in >actually look forward to meals because I feel hungry instead of just stuffing my face all day long whenever i felt like eating
When I move into my new place Im going to set up some weights and other stuff. I dont want to go to a gym and look like an idiot and not know what to do. But Im gonna make it bros. I know I will. I hope you can too.
It's normal. It's an accessory isolation exercise of a small muscle. Why would you think you'd be putting up big numbers?
Grayson Thompson
How do you guys calculate how many calories you burned from exercise?
Samuel Brown
You don't
Kayden Jackson
I don't. I give myself an eating target based on a sedentary life style, and anything burned from exercise is a bonus, not something I get to eat back.
Finally made it past my plateau, down 4 pounds today. Not a confession, but thought you should know, padre.
Jack Martinez
>5 cents has been deposited into your account by Monsanto
Justin Ross
Should have been lifting
Liam Bailey
185lb, 5’9, 5 minutes. Stopped because i was bored. I have been doing weighted planks as part of my workout
John Nguyen
Biotin. If you eat only meat and cheese and shit, you will be deficient, but it's easy to avoid if you eat intelligently. Broccoli is a good source, organ meat has like 5 times your daily need per serving, a single cooked egg has 33%, and you could also just get a multivitamin.
It's very rare as you might expect, I'm pretty sure most of the posts talking about it are trolls, since they only started appearing shortly after someone mentioned it as a possible, rare side effect, and all the posts are basically "my hair is thinning, Keto sucks" with no other details or followup.
Jaxson Butler
Side delts are a tiny and weak muscle. You arent going to be lifting much weight on lat raises
Josiah Bell
>started counting calories >started doing cardio >started doing calisthenics >completely forgot I'm supposed to be working on my phimosis too >3 months of penis-hole gains lost and I can't fully retract my skin over the glans
Blog/status report: 101kg to 91kg since May 1st. OMAD without calorie counting. I've broken it a few times having wine with colleagues after work on Fridays and when visiting my parents on weekends.
Work canteen where I eat my OMAD for lunch is closed the next two weeks and I'm still considering if I should use that as an opportunity to do a few short fasts.
Wyatt Smith
5,9 225 23 seconds. Hardwood floor sucks.
Bentley Bailey
idk if this is a question for here or qtddtot,
what do I do when I feel hungry but don't want to go over my caloric intake? is this what protein shakes are for? cause idk shit about how those work
Liam Young
No. Protein shakes have calories obviously. Drink water and/or develop will power. Occupy yourself with something
Jace Morgan
Wtf. Top ramen is only 190 calories
Isaiah James
Thanks that makes sense Didn't realize how much I would struggle at it
Brandon Carter
Check again user. I bet you're in for a nasty surprise. >serving size: 1/2 of package
Levi Gomez
>fried cheese and fries
put on 2 kilos in one day.
Michael Bailey
Will taking steroids help me lose weight?
Jason Hernandez
weight in snedecor 93 kilos
Ayden Ross
Unless you ate 15.400 calories above your TDEE in one day you should be good
Robert Miller
6'0 and 294 lbs, how do I into strongfat mode? should I bulk or cut to start my journey? don't know my bf but i basically haven't muscle except for calves
bulk until you're closer to 400 lbs, 294 lbs isn't enough for real strongfat mode
Lucas Rogers
Brapper here 328
Evan Allen
you cut while lifting heavy on a strength program and eating enough protein
Cameron Baker
Is losing 12-15 lb in 6 weeks reasonable/attainable? Im 5'11" 232lb right now. doing calorie count and low carb diet but hit a plateau. I have an event coming up in 6 weeks and ideally would like to be at the 215-220 range. Any advice?
Luke Adams
Doing pretty well actually. After about 7 months realized that this vegan shit is stupid and quit. Too complex to get all the nutrients I need and impossible to stay full or reach my protein requirements and stay under my calorie limit. Ate chicken breast and veggies and I feel pretty good. Probably not gonna eat dairy tho cuz that shit gives me acne
Cameron Sanchez
>dairy gives you acne what
Ryder Murphy
Yeah bro I’m pretty sure it’s a common thing. Milks full of hormones and shit that fucks up ur system
Samuel Moore
good morning. nice work this week!
Josiah Taylor
Very reasonable and attainable
Joshua Green
Good luck I started at 245 lbs in February and it took me 6 months of CICO to get down to 198 lbs.
