i’m starting to see veins on my hands bros, maybe i am losing weight after all :’)
Cameron Price
Bro you started out the day so good and then you went and fucked it up.
Ian White
you went to two different fast food joints today? that's putting some effort in
Liam Martinez
Got a Fitbit Blaze for 70% off, and it read a 5.5k treadmill run as a 6.3k run? Also it sometimes seems to think my resting heart rate is 46 BPM, which is I'm pretty sure is only true of olympic athletes. I reward myself if I exercise hard enough. Current reward is a 60 cal fudge pop, because I couldn't find the 40 cal fruit pops last time I went shopping. On a -1000 deficit so I don't really feel guilty. Just MFP. Don't really count macros, just wait for the green "protein goal achieved!" indication to pop up.
William Nelson
i would love to eat 4 big macs rn. not even /fat/ but your image triggered me
Brandon Phillips
trying not to let the "you're going too far" comments get to me, but I think they're seeping in thinking of going to subway because I've 'earned it', even though I haven't been to or thought about subway in months
John Young
Hit J n the B on the way home from work today. 4 tacos, the new double bacon bbq cheeseburger, 3 spicy chicken strips all of these items dipped in buttermilk ranch as I ate. Silver lining is I didn’t do fries or soda and had only eaten oatmeal for breakfast so far. Probably aight but def coulda done better.
Alexander Foster
Chew gum, drink water, or workout. I would say indulge in moderation, but most of us wouldn't be here if we could...
Sebastian Bennett
I feel aspergers is actually helping me with something for once. Fasting sucked. Keto sucked. But counting and eating at a deficit? Literally no willpower required because numbers are fun. It's like inventory management, or optimizing a build. You get to learn so much about the food you eat just staring at all the nutrition labels trying to find what provides the best mix of health/calories/price. >spent 5 minutes just calculating how many calories per gram all the kinds of pasta at the store It was Catelli Ancient Grains if you're curious, 329kcal/100g.
Trying to figure out what I can have that can be portioned down to
Isaac Williams
a couple slices of ham or something? anything around 38kcal will just want to make you eat more
Kevin Jones
>tfw since 1week my weight flunctuates between 300gramm Reeeeeeeeeeeeeee, just lose the fat motherfucker.
Matthew Cox
But that is what we are doing. We are killing the fatties we wear over our skeletons, day by day, by growing a strong, muscular person from the inside.
We are burning the fatties.
Christian Wright
I ate 3 small pieces of home made pizza made with spelled flour yesterday, instead of 2 like I should have.
Jaxon Sullivan
>6 months of never feeling hungry >all of a sudden I am insatiable like someone flipped a switch good thing the bulk of the work is done already
Hudson Butler
I burned 3754 and consumed 1593 yesterday. Even with 10% error margin for both numbers, I still would've lost 1660. Enough with this water weight nonsense, just let me lose some fucken weight.
Parker Walker
are you really huge, really active or both?
Caleb Bailey
If you hit J n the B so much that you have to abbrieviate it you’re officially /fat/
Ryder Cruz
can you lose weight without exercise?
Kayden Nelson
asking that question doesn't inspire confidence... but the answer is yes
Oliver Thompson
>really huge 200-203 pounds for the last 2.5 weeks, eating 1400 to 1700 cals a day, and that motherfucking scale won't let me see 199 >really active Most days are between 7000 to 13000 steps, exercising most days with a mix of swimming/running/bodyweight. No real schedule though. I sincerely hope I'm just holding onto mass due to water weight, as a result of the push ups/chin ups/dips/squats/sit ups I try to do throughout the day.
Isaiah Smith
think you're massively overestimating your tdee unless you're 200lbs of muscle
this fucked up sleep pattern is seriously fucking with my head I've been awake for about 9 hours and eaten 50kcal in that time, but all my brain sees is that it's not even 9am yet and I've already eaten
Parker Murphy
what does this even mean?
Jordan Diaz
>two cups of ice cream

Robert Parker
>46 BPM, which is I'm pretty sure is only true of olympic athletes No. I've registered a resting HR in the 40's and I'm no Olympian. I run a lot though. Keep up the running though, it's awesome for you.

I wanna ditch my spreadsheet and just let MFP do everything for me but the bastard isn't letting me make an account might get fat again and sue

Won a good chunk of money on a bet so was out with the lads.

I don't count calories. I'll ballpark it sure to within +/- 400 or so but within reason maintaining the correct hormonal balance is where the key lies. As long as your caloric intake is within reason your body will adjust for eating too much or too little.
And by hormonal balance I don't mean >muh nofap Make sure you are consuming more than the RDI of cholesterol every day and staying active. (don't fall for the anti-cholesterol white liberal).
Dylan Evans
At this point I'd say you're to the point where the amount of body fat you have is no longer a health threat. And that you should focus on lifting and upping your lean body mass. It'll be frustrating watching the scale needle go nowhere, but as long as you are plateaued while building muscle you at least know you are getting leaner. You shouldn't set a goal weight. You should set a goal body composition.
Cooper Stewart
Oatmeal is really filling and not too high calorie. What are some other foods like this? Preferably more nutrient dense.
Mason Barnes
Need your advice /fat/.
I eat 1,500 calories a day, but I'm thinking of upping it to 1,700 calories a day.
The thing is I lift 3 times a week and I jog 4 times a week. So I'm really tired all the time.
Is this okay? I'm guessing if I don't lost 2 lbs a week I could drop calories down again.
Nicholas Baker
Just gotta fight it, just do a tiny bit more each day, even if it’s the smallest task like changing your bed sheets or tidying your clothes up. You can do this.
Hunter Murphy
Why purposely make it take longer to lose fat? 3500 calories is 1lb of fat. If you increase your calories by 200 per day, that is 1400 calories per week extra. Basically a 40% slower fat loss. I doubt 200 calories will help you feel any more energetic. Try eating more nutrients in your current 1500.
Sebastian Diaz
Solid progress. You should start working on building muscles and not focus as much on weight loss
Caleb Gomez
Reflect on why you feel the need to get piss-drunk every weekend. Just do something else, go for a walk, watch a movie, read a book, play video games, anything.
Jaxson Butler
what exercises for legs/bottom half I can do with fucked up knee?
Caleb Moore
kill everyone in this thread who's starting weight was under 100kg
Hudson Adams
anyone willing to share photos of their home setups? and if you had any good gains with it?
what if i'm not even fat? am i allowed to eat trash?
Elijah Miller
Only occasionally.
Angel Howard
what are you doing
Andrew Smith
Keto. I did it before for about a month with very good results. Gonna keep it up for 3-6 months now and then increase carbs to a low-but-sustainable level.
Zachary Cooper

Leo Cook
Shut up and feel lucky you have a fiancee.
Mason Edwards
thanks user, that helped so much, i'm fixed!
Ryder Carter
Nobody can fix you except yourself, so just do it. Or wait to hit rock bottom.
Noah Gomez
I'm eating popeyes fish and shrimp right now because I saved up some calories for it
Lincoln Stewart
Wtf niggers
James Howard
what’s your calorie intake? and do you workout or are you sedentary?
Noah Robinson
Yes, but your body will look like shit afterwards.
Jackson Gonzalez
>TFW meals are under 300 calories so I can eat 5 times a day and avoid hunger/cravings
My girlfriend really wanted Old Chicago pizza so we went. I tried to control myself but then i said fuck it and ate half a deep dish pizza. Then since I had already fucked up we went to sonic and got shakes. Got a medium though, cause i'm Jow Forums now.
Elijah Barnes
Eggs are king for filling you up without a lot of calories.
lol shut the fuck up. He was so overweight nothing would have helped him with that loose skin, maybe weightlifting, but in the end he would still be a flabby fuck.
if you get that obese you 100% deserve loose skin.
Liam Flores
this guy actually exercised though, he walked around his neighborhood everyday
