I know, water weight and all that, but what's amazing to me is how fucking hard I must have fucked up the rest of my life to end where I'm at, this has been my one relapse so far, why did I never try before?
/fat/ after target weight > I still look like shit I will keep cutting once I go below 60 lbs I'll start lifting
Christopher Ortiz
I’m actually curious how do you guys manage to get fat? I mean do you legit eat pizzas 3+ times a day for years? I don’t move a lot but I just can’t manage to get overweight, it’s just too difficult.
My BMI is 30.1 and should be below 30 in a week. I will no longer be obese in a week. I will be overweight.
New Years Resolution actually worked. 7 months and I will be overweight soon.
Lost weight because some user posted the how not to die book. Literally, that worked where keto and fasting did not work before.
Ryder Lewis
>fasting did not work
You put on weight while fasting?
Ian Powell

Hunter Wright
At my biggest I would go to class, come home, grab a 2L of pepsi out of the fridge, order some delivery, play vidya till it arrived, eat it, play more video games, and go to bed.
Other than taking out the trash and keeping my place clean, it was a 100% sustainable lifestyle that kept me at 525 lbs. I was completely sedentary
Jordan Hall
I used to eat 5 sausages for breakfast, lunch something with rice or pasta (a whole dish of it) and then some meat, dinner some pizza trash or plastic burguers. Then on the weekends that + alcohol + more food because weed made me crave more food so I would arrive at 6 AM and make some fries. The one thing I never did much was ice cream or sweets in general, it's probably also easy to get fat with those.
Matthew Perez
What's your target weight? 800?
Josiah Green
200
Daniel Roberts
Fasting has a ton of side effects for me. Not being able to sleep, stomach issues, headaches, hairloss.
I literally started to lose my hair when I was fasting.
Nathaniel Wood
Quit weed now.
Joshua Rivera
Did you not consume anything before the delivery and the 2 L Pepsi? How big was the delivery?
I’ve ordered delivery when I get home loads of times but I can’t get over 150 lbs. I tend to drink water instead of soda though
Juan Rodriguez
I was 110kg December, down to 92.6kg today. I'll look like a girl again soon and sell my own gamer girl water.
Juan Roberts
for me it was eating to cope with the stress of simultaneously working and attending university, binge drinking on most weekends for basically a decade(Friday/Saturday on average 8-16 liters of beer) and eating pretty large portions of food like pasta,rice and pizza because I always cooked for myself and was pretty good at it. Now that I'm done with my studies, lost the will to drink and have a lot of spare time I can work on myself. My goal is to be able to rock climb which I hope will stop me from relapsing after I "make it". In the last 7 months I went from 147 kg to 110 kg, with any luck I'll be 90 before New Year. I don't feel hunger or cravings anymore so it has been a pretty smooth ride so far
Gavin Morgan
Checked. How's your progress? Is it consistently going down? Goodluck BTW.
Jaxon Nelson
show us your dick
Cameron Williams
I quit weed, cigarettes, alcohol and coffee years ago, shame it never crossed my mind to cut because I was on a motivation high after a couple of weeks..
Austin Hughes
I was eating Lots of fast food - say McDonalds for lunch > 2 McChickens, Large Fry, McDouble And Taco Bell for Dinner > Nacho BellGrande, Quesadilla, Mexican Pizza Or maybe Arby’s > Beef ‘n’ Cheddar Max, 5 Chicken Strips, Loaded Fry and/or Jalapeño Poppers > Plus half a bag of chips as a “snack” Just thinking about it disgusts me, but I have to face my demons and know when I’m looking at the loose skin once I reach my goal that I deserved this
I would eat a big lunch and a very big dinner and drink too much alcohol. I didn’t need candy or soda to become fat.
Christian Jenkins
Anyone do calisthenics? I'm looking into it and it looks amazing. >really great for losing weight >functional strength >can do it anywhere, no excuses >don't need equipment or gym membership until advanced stuff Anyone else trying it? I'd love advice.
Austin Watson
Thanks man.
Pretty solid, I think. Down to 375 using OMAD Keto. Recently started trying extended fasting. Plateaued for a few months a couple dozen pounds ago, but it's getting there.
About a year and a half overall so far.
Cooper Kelly
What's the best option for all around working out when I can't afford to go to the gym or buy a home gym? I can run around my yard in private to hide my jiggling immensity but other than that I'm stumped.
Colton Williams
2 L of Pepsi is 2000 calories. A large, 3 topping pizza from pizza hut is like 250 calories a slice, times 8.
But that soda is enough to keep anyone 300 pounds, at least.
Jason Carter
What should I do if I have Hypothyroidism? What should I eat? Should I cut more?
600 calorie bowl of cereal, a lunch with a fuck ton of chocolate after the real lunch, liquid calories from whatever I was drinking and then dinner on top of that, which is my only "proper" meal of the day. And on days where I get a large stuffed crust pizza it's no wonder I fucking ballooned. Was 95kg at my worst and yo-yo'd the past two years. Back on track now and I'm at 84kg currently. Starting gym again tomorrow (for money reasons, not laziness) and can't wait to shed some more weight.
I haven't even hit my target weight and I hate fatties now at least the ones who aren't trying

Should I lift heavy with few reps or the other way around?
David Jones
thank you man
Charles Baker
I understand eating like a pig once in a while, especially when stressed, but was there not a point before you became overweight or at least just a bit overweight, where you thought “okay this is too much, I should stop now”?
Did it not impact your finances to get all that food from outside your home?
Hudson Jackson
Yes but it doesn't happen. You get hungry, you hold off for a bit while watching something or reading or whatever, and eventually you wander to the kitchen and eat whatever's easiest. You do this every time you get hungry. Eventually you're also eating to complete fullness when this happens
Jayden Cooper
I’m skinny fat, but holy shit cutting out sugar is hard.
I’m down to one soda a week tho
Hunter Davis
In my case It mainly happened in the latter half of high school. I was getting shit on from all sides, parents, friends and teachers so I was stressed to fuck and responded by eating like a pig and giving up academically. That's no excuse of course, which is why I'm trying to fix the damages.
I was depressed 100% of the time I was at that weight. Literally the only coping mechanism I had was food. I lived a spartan lifestyle in every way except for the food I got.
Personally, I've been fat all my life. My parents didn't understand nutrition, and I didn't care until I hit my 20's.
I cooked most of my food myself. Just loads of pasta, bacon, parmesan, olive oil etc. The weight comes creeping up on you, insane as it sounds. I was delusional, like I was completely shocked to my core when I stepped on a scale and it said 122 kg. I knew I had gained a bit of weight, but expected to be just over 100 kg.
I also suffered from a depression and was out of work for a long time. It becomes difficult to actually do anything about your situation. I just snapped out of it one day and now I’m close to making weight-wise and have a great job and all that. Still super scared I will end up like that again.
Noah Morales
This. Something went awry in my brain ~4 years ago and I haven't felt normal since
I was fat since I was 10 or so, if there was food on my plate, I had to finish it and all my family is fat. Once I was done then maybe I considered that was too much but not while I was eating > Did it not impact your finances to get all that food from outside your home? Not a problem for me, I could eat outside everyday but I enjoy cooking now and now it's much easier to count my shit.
Carson Anderson
Then what's the point? If I can never be comfortable or confident or happy or just satisfied. The "oh you've lost weight" acknowledgement is so fleeting. My life is just an empty book filled with chapters of shame
Jordan Gonzalez
Losing weight is something to pass time doing while we wait for death. Maybe you can gain it back afterwards and then lose it again. It keeps the mind and body active.
Juan Rodriguez
Don't know about the others, but I got too much weight while affected by depression. Starting from 67-75kg, I hit 103kg in like 2 or 3 years.
At the time, food was the near only thing in the world that actually gave me satisfaction, while my life was going into pieces. I was aware of my body, but did not care about my weight 'couse I needed to sort other problems first.
Now that I feel better mentally, even if depression's shadow always follows me, I started a diet to try to get back my old body.
Carson Wood
In my case, I am blessed enough to have an IT job that actually pays pretty decently - 2bh quitting smoking weed had more effect on my finances than all the eating out, although yes I do spend less on food now I was also lucky enough to be able to buy a halfway decent home gym with weights bench and rack the month I decided I was going to do something about this (January - yea I’m a NYRFag)
Dominic Murphy
I started getting fat when I stopped growing at 17. I just suddenly ballooned up, from like 70kg to 90+. Got stretch marks too and haven't been able to lose it since then. I'm 22 now.
Bentley Peterson
>be me >6'4" >pretty god damn fat >start going to gym >almost immediately get to 2 plates >people stare at me all the fucking time as they lift 30 pound barbells like apes with slings >scrawny dudes who have clearly been lifting longer than me always hit the bench or machine next to me and one up my weights, waiting for me to start lifting before they get into theirs, but never make any eye or vocal contact with me to try and encourage or just socialize Feels like im walking around a fucking alien spaceship with my cock out. What an awkward nightmare. I already have fucking anxiety issues, and this shit is just giving me fucking panic attacks. Wat do?
Brandon Perry
Dark beer and a pint of ice cream can put you at 1600 calories in less than an hour. Hell, a wedge of brie and salami
Joseph Ramirez
>waiting for me to start lifting before they get into theirs This is just etiquette. It's like waiting for the bowler next to you to throw.
Gavin Reyes
no, you misread. they wait for me to begin to also begin. they lift at the same fucking time as me.
David Long
There is no point. Life is empty, depressing, pointless. I feel nothing and I barely care about anything. My life has gone to worse over the years. I have lost my hope for future and I no longer care if I fail and get laughed at. It's just that not doing anything is boring and time passes faster when Im doing something. I really dont care about my looks or weight. I have no idea what I will distract myself with after weight loss.
>Cut out all soft drinks ages ago, only drink water and coffee with creamer, trying to stop that too >Moving into OMAD >Still not losing weight, I dont 'think' im eating that much but apparently its not working >Surrounded by tempting desserts roommate makes every fucking week

You can make it.
Julian Sullivan
Surprisingly not very, since they make it with the expectation that everyone else here and sometimes at work eats it.

That is memes. I dont care about anything. I dont want to do anything. Just accept that going to forest and lifting weights doesnt make me happy.

i don't know how i'm supposed to hit 200 grams of protein everyday, let alone 150. plus that shit is expensive

Is this just the thw effect of aspiring to be decent looking? It sucks and is very disheartening.
clogged arteries full of fat are also disheartening

You want me to clean the applesauce off your bib for you? Maybe change you diaper? Awww he's a fat little baby. I fucking despise you user

The way I do it is lots of Chicken Breast mostly I try for 170g per day - the sticky advises 1 gram for every pound of Goal weight I thought
Nathaniel Hall
Drinking sooooo much tea. I think I drank a liters worth yesterday. Started to make it at work today, now having to learn how to use the office coffee machine cause it distributes the hottest water, and HOLY SHiT, they got it set to fucking scalding!
Also some user said to best kill chocolate cravings with high percentage cacao chocolates. Got some 86% cacao Ghiradelli squares, 60 cals each... perfect! Thanks user!
Lincoln Cruz
You can do it bro. If anyone talks shit about someone behind their then they're shitheads.

alcoholism. drink a ton a beer every night, wake up the next morning craving fast food to settle my stomach, repeat every day for five years.

here's a better idea, share the other one with that cute female at work then when she gets fat and loses her confidence, you swoop in and tell her she's a fattie to her face and mog her

Is there any point in getting a Fitbit? The used prices on craigslist are literally undercut by store sales
Landon Ramirez
Chicken is so extremely valuable for hitting protein goals on a 1000kcal deficit, but fuck, I don't want to eat this stuff every day.
Benjamin Gomez
>how do you manage to get fat years of not paying attention to what i was eating. when i was living with my parents i'd drink 5-6 cokes a day and eat tons of whatever dogshit-in-a-box my mom decided to cook that night. for the first two years of uni i exclusively ate burgers and pizza at the cafeteria
Connor Jones
Jesus christ, what a disastrous start to a day. Not even noon and I only got 430 cals left after a fairly mediocre meal. Fuck Subway.

I was given one as a gift and I do use it The app can track food and water intake It will measure your heart rate and sleep quality The pedometer is pretty spotty and often registers things that aren’t steps as steps - also the heart rate monitor can get bitchy and stop reading, especially when you’re sweaty from exercise Overall I’d say don’t bother as you don’t need it but it sometimes can be handy, so if you’ve got $100 to burn it would be better than buying a sharp stick in the eye

Bentley Cruz
Guys, 178/80 fatso reporting in. I tried calisthenics for half a year and I made quite progress in developing visible muscles, but when I look in a mirror I still see a fat fuck. Is it possible to lose fat tissue without losing muscles? Can't afford gym and a coach unfortunately.
Daniel Nguyen
103.3 kilos atm and I haven't lost anything for weeks even I exercise daily (1 hour jogging or power lifting in gym), where problim man?
I lost 50 kilos in 8 months this way, I used to be fat elemental but now I have just a little belly and mostly muscle. I believe I can kill a polar bear with my fists if I have to. Some day.. I will try to fight a gorilla.
Easton Bell
t. sad cunt
Dominic Cruz
Yeah just lose 1-2 lbs a week.
People will shill fasting, but there is no long term study proving most of the stupid claims they make. Especially there is no long term study of people who fast to show they don't lose muscles.
Seeing as bodybuilders don't fast, then it probably doesn't work that well. BBs will try anything if it gives you an edge.
Jackson Reed
it's unquestionable pretending it's not, or calling people names doesn't change it
adapt, overcome and conquer don't just put your fingers in your ears and sing to yourself
Joseph White
Really kills me that the skinnier girl always looks so much more elegant and put-together. They look more ethereal and a bit untouchable and it makes it feel like somehow their feelings and thoughts matter more. Like logically I know none of that is true and that thin people aren't better than anyone else, but when you're bigger, no matter what you do you just look sloppy and uncomfortable. I really hate that I think this.
