I've lost 65 pounds since last year. I've started lifting and look better than I have in my entire life. That being said I went from having two beautiful girlfriends to being completely alone. My friend circle broke up and noone talks to one another anymore. I've never been so starved for human contact I just... how did this happen? I thought being skinny would make people like me more
Kayden Flores
week 5 of the fatty contest has come to a close! we averaged 1.58 lbs lost this time, making it our best week ever. great work everyone, let's keep up the pace for next week.
Had two hotdogs on potato rolls tonight for dinner, along with a bowl of coleslaw. The bread was so sweet and soft, but now I'm over limit by at least 100kcal.
Anthony White
Do i just enter shit in?
Adam Lee
I want to join
Tittyburglar 165lbs 5'10 18yo goal of 150lbs
Hunter Jenkins
sorry i didn't get back quick enough, but you needed to post your details in the thread. come back next week, there's going to be up to three slots.
added you, see you next week!
Jacob Roberts
Doing this kind of thing is so dangerous. Weight loss is not a game. This can legit hurt people.
Colton Turner
Had a terrifying binge Thursday but cut back Fri, Sat and Sun and did an extra day at the gym.
Weigh in is Monday morning, let's see if I've redeemed myself bros
Isaiah Powell
Fuck yes. So glad I was able to be added. I'll be honest, I came to the thread to talk myself out of binging, getting into the contest is the best thing that could've happened
Kill yourself fatass, you'll never make it anyways, what the point in living a life of hell?
Julian Martin
i got stressed out this weekend and well you know where it goes from here. i'm in some limbo of happiness for losing so much weight only to feel like i've thrown away the world if i binge and fall into despondency shortly afterwards, there has to be a way i can deal with stress that isnt fucking food.
Juan Diaz
What you are doing is super dangerous. Do not make weight loss into a game as you will set yourself up for failure. You have been warned.
Gabriel Morgan
Those should work fine. Maybe also look for a set of 5, 10, and 15s for just starting out. Adjustable is definitely useful but also being able to grab free weights without having to unscrew the adjustable plates, add the new weight, and then continue is a pain the ass if you are trying to superset or have to change weights between sets.
Cameron Butler
>Losing weight is dangerous Go back to Tumblr fat fuck. I have a goal I want to reach and then I will stop. I have more willpower and discipline than an anorexic 14yo girl
Ayden Ward
realized today that I wont be any happier living comfortably and indulging, so might as well start working out and lose some weight if that gives me some purpose. I have lost like 25kg a few years back but gained 15-20kg back. I installed MFP as it worked for me last time and have done actually quite a bit of jogging and biking in the last weeks, though my endurance is still shit.
You are just going to gain it back again. It doesn't matter, bro, just live. With the way you think, yo-yoing is a very possible possibility, and that is not good. Try just eating at maintenance or a little higher for a bit to adjust.
The way you are doing it is. You talk like you are so on the ball, that nothing can stop you, but the truth is you are fat, and you are not figuring out how you got there in the first place. Ive seen so many posts like yours before, and they always end is failure and disappointment. So yes, what you are doing is dangerous.
Andrew Carter
Okay, I'll bite. In what way is posting your weight once a week on an anonymous imageboard dangerous?
Jacob Martinez
>Just need to lose 15lbs to look good >Every possible obstacle is getting in my way
Yeah, but if you can buy a set that can go up to 100 lbs per dumbbell. It'll be more expensive down the line to buy more 10 lbs weights. Also, buy a pull-up bar and some bands to do assisted pull-ups.
Brandon Gomez
>Coworkers keep buying donuts and pizza and shit >Parents keep purchasing junkfood and tempting me with it
Things like that, I've been trying to resist but it's getting increasingly hard maybe my calorie goal is too low, I am trying to eat 1500cals at 5'11 190lbs and I'm lifting and doing cardio but starting to feel exhausted
My dad is fast approaching 70. I've been able to regulate my diet to the point of losing 80 lbs but need calisthenics to keep going lower myself being 20.
What can get my dad to lose a fuckton of weight? How to get his energy up through the roof. The doc keeps saying lose weight. He finally seems interested in weight lose and I tell him to eat better and less. What else can he do?
John Miller
Im and I lost 2 inches of my waist line by keeping it at 1600 and eating 1800. Just convert some of your run time or cut more by doing some calisthenics.
You can easily do 100-300 push ups, sit ups, and mountain climbers each and it is worth it
Christian Gutierrez
>take waist/neck measurements >plug into navy calc >14% >still feel like a fat fuck does it ever end bros, abs are starting to peek through but i still feel like a lardass and want to cut even harder
This is stupid and bad advice. Do not listen to the bait.
Wyatt Flores
Eat less and better is good, also have him do light walks every day. May look into the Barbell Training Over 40 book if he wants to lift weights as old guy. Never too late.
Justin Lewis
I was in a similar position to you. Pretty much identical actually.
My only advice is to recognize that the food at work is them just trying to make you fat and dependent on that employment so they can turn you into a sedentary tub or lard who can't afford to leave or else you'll lose your insurance benefits. Resist that shit user. Resist and let your co-workers become fat while you stay true to the path.
As for parents, honestly just insist on eating healthy. The more stubborn you are the less they will be buying you shit. I did the same thing. They would be eating like shit getting fast food every week and I just insisted on eating clean. Pretty soon tehy got the message and just started cooking healthy stuff for me (while still eating unhealthy, unfortunately. It's tough to change family)
Kevin Brooks
Oh thank God. That's what I ask him to do already. Thanks m8
Jayden Wood
Apple?
Benjamin Rodriguez
How much progress should I be doing one month from now? I'm doing IF, lifting 3 days per week and doing 30 min of cardio the rest of the days except on sunday.
Thanks I've been trying my best to resist. My coworkers are quite fat btw, literally had one female coworker tell me for months about how she will "start" working out soon (to them I'm in good shape but I know i'm pretty fat rn)
Do you think it would be more adhereable if I was on a smaller deficit?
Parker Young
Glad to have you back, user. Remember, you can't outtrain a bad diet, so throw in a small caloric deficit (500 is a great target) for even better results. Get a food scale, if you can. It's invaluable for keeping track of macros. Be precise and consistent, and you're gonna make it!
I think you can do it. What obstacles are in your way, user?
I might just get a gym membership once I feel I've outgrown those and the walking treadmill I've been using. I'm kinda limited on space as it is so I don't have room for much more than a bench.
Dylan Morales
How are you fucking up? Are you bingeing or something? Because if that's the case maybe the deficit is too restrictive.
Evan Lee
Unironically NGMI. Sorry lad
Hunter Howard
That navy calc is so wildly inaccurate. You are NOT 14%, I assure you.
Nicholas Rodriguez
cut till you are happy, if you want ab veins then give'r bud, but seriously do youy like how you are looking WITH a pump? if no, then yeha keep cutting
Get on that elliptical fat fucks. Don't just be on a calorie deficit and sitting around. Also eat protein.
Carson Wright
i think i look alright with a pump, not huge but definitely better. is probably right though there's no way that i am 14% bf
Josiah Walker
>watching food videos during a fast Come on man, stop.
Levi Barnes
I'm feeling pretty exhausted often and my strength and energy in the gym varies greatly from workout to workout, so I use that as a justification to "cheat".
The routine I'm doing has me doing a certain rep max on main compound lifts and some days I can barely muster the strength to hit a weight I easily did last week
Ayden Diaz
Had a great salad for dinner, as well as drinking a lot of water. We're all gonna make it, even if it takes you a bit more time. I feel great right now.
If the problem is impulse control, have frequent low-cal high-protein meals through the day so you get ahead of your hunger and cravings. I find a great snack is a serving of Greek yogurt with half a protein scoop and 100g strawberries. 200kcal and 30g protein, and feels like a dessert.
If you want to be polite, you can accept tiny pieces and insist that you either ate earlier or that you're just not that hungry.
1. If you're gonna cut, CUT. Go balls to the wall and don't give a shit about the numbers you have to "make" during your lifting days, after all it's just a number and totally meaningless if you are looking like dogshit. Your main objective during a cut should be to survive your current lifts as best as possible but if you have to DL then do it. To reiterate if you're gonna cut, then cut. Fuck the numbers of how much you gotta lift.
2. Try to cut at less significant of a deficit to the point where you can complete your workouts. This will take you longer but if you are having issues with cheating maybe taking a more moderate calorie deficit while maintaining your workouts will be ideal. Maybe try to find a calorie deficit where you can maintain your lifting schedule, lose weight, but resist cheating binges.
Caleb Morris
Post body
Blake Green
I'll try that, for a long time I've just been doing some weird form of intermittent fasting where I eat twice a day but large meals
Well I can complete the workouts I just of course want to maintain as much muscle as possible and my thinking is that if my strength is the same = muscle is the same too. The fluctuations scare me but I guess that's just part of it
Is it normal for me to only shit once every three days or so on a 1500 calorie diet? Should I consider a fiber supplement? I generally get 30-35g a day through my meals.
Jason Hernandez
yes you're fine bud
Ethan Garcia
How do your lifts look /fat/? I've been losing weight for a while and its discouraging to see how quickly people progress in lifts while I move slowly or not at all DL: 290 Squat:215 Bench:185 OHP:130
Chances are what you're eating at that low calorie count is nearly 100% digestible. I'm that situation you'll shit less frequently than your used to.
Nathan Perry
It's normal to stall or lose progress on lifts while cutting. I went down from a 180 squat to a 155 squat, so I think your numbers are pretty impressive. No matter what, you're making gains over what you would have if you hadn't lifted while cutting.
105 OHP/170 bench/225 squat/270 DL Been losing weight and going to the gym since october last year but not consistently, skipped sometimes 2 weeks at a time because of school. Anyways I would imagine as soon as you start to up the food you eat that you will beging to see much faster progress on your lifts. Keep going user we're all gonna make it
Jacob Flores
Just posted this in another thread but I feel like it would be good motivation >130kg/183cm fatty >in a long distance relationship >see each other every 2~3 months cause we live really far from each other and we're both really busy >three months ago have sex with her for the first time >it was good for both of us but I couldn't help but to feel kinda shitty cause I got super tired and out of breath, core/legs hurting like hell the day after and such >start going to the gym >calorie deficit >tons of HIIT for endurance >lose 20kg >she comes to my house on an extended holiday >go at it so hard she can't even get up from bed after we're done >we end up cuddling and she says without opening her eyes "if you keep going to the gym like this you might end up killing me, user" I'm obviously not nearly done, but this week I'm gonna hit the gym even harder for my next visit
>tfw 150kg fatty >penis doesn't even get erect anymore haha, since you're fucking your gf, you're saying that being fat wasn't even the reason I can't get erect? that's so funny, maybe I should just go and kill myself after all hehehe
Owen Adams
no, just an imitator
Cooper Cook
Been trying to slim down lately after an accidental 60lb bulk from 180 to 240. My family made fun of me for being fat all summer. I decide to drop my daily chocolate milk,stop eating desserts and eat way less overall. My father comes in today and brings this entire chocolate cake while I'm eating lunch. I go to the store and I see buckets of ice cream and cookie dough on the shelves. I'm never gonna make it
Jace Gray
Yes, you can! Stick to lean meats and veggies, eat small meals frequently to get ahead of your cravings, track your foods, and if you want, have a little treat once in a while. Stick to your macro targets, and you WILL make it!
I think the sticky actually says 1 gram per pound of goal body weight
Nathan Cox
>500 kcals >236 grams of protein user what the fuck am i supposed to eat
Joshua Brown
It does. I aim for 1g per pound of current body weight so that I have a buffer zone on my protein goal.
Jeremiah Harris
Just eat less while eating as much protein as you can, you dont need that much protein
Aiden Ward
Anyone else notice when you make progress and lose weight fat women get so angry?
This fat bitch at work told me "Wow I wish i could lose weight that fast but it's way harder for women. You're so lucky"
Jaxon Reed
Where in the fuck can I buy barley? I love barley soup but can't find it by itself anywhere.
Charles Smith
they sell it at holland & barrett in my country, which is basically a generic health food store
Jaxon Harris
I went from 400lb to 330lb and literally nobody noticed at my job. Switched jobs and went from 330lb to 270 and nobody noticed. The only people who notice are family members I don't see regularly.
Jonathan Young
What do your exercise routines look like bros? Trying to drop 30lbs and retain as much muscle as possible.
Nathan Thompson
How does one find a gym partner? I've been doing bodyweight stuff and use my friend's "bowflex" looking thing when we hang out but I have no other friends and he's too cheap/redneck to pay for a gym membership. I can't do it alone. :/
Adam Baker
improbable tbph, you cant eat at a deficit and heal effectively, thats not how this shit works
Anthony Reyes
In her life, from her point of view, you have the role of being a fattie. If you improve yourself, you're advancing in life while she's stagnant and that makes her feel bad for her own incompetence.
Joshua Edwards
edit, unless you are going for a long term very mild deficit over a period of many many many months
Does eating a keto diet at maintenance calories per day of TDEE have any effect?
Jackson Long
Anyon here swim? I hear swimming is pretty good for losing fat, and when I was young I liked swimming. But now I'm too embarrassed to be almost naked in front of fit people to swim.
Elijah Bennett
You won't lose weight but you may feel like you have more energy. Depends on your body though, I think.
Nathaniel Wright
it's great for fatties as it's low impact. just go for it. making yourself do it that first time is the worst part, you'll stop caring much pretty quick.
