WHAT happened? I look amazing, and I looked like shit before my holiday?
Josiah Carter
You picked up a diet worm Congrats user
Jose Murphy
Amazing. I love it.
Kevin Brown
Pics?
Anthony Nelson
YES LADS!!! EAT THE BACONATOR AND GROW A TABLE GUT LIKE ME
But I've dropped 5 lbs on the scale, and look about 10 leaner. It's essentially sped up my cut by a month or two.
Maybe that other user is right, I got a worm or some shit, because I was eating salty, sugary and fatty food every day.
Brayden Diaz
Not a fatty, but keep it up marshmallow people. Remember you've had a lifetime of being fat, so it's not going to fall off that quickly, it's going to take another lifetime of readjustment to stay permanently Jow Forums
You've got this.
James Barnes
Do you think some of it was muscle mass?
Blake Wilson
I can't tell - but my muscles look even fuller despite not lifting for ~10 days. I don't think so, my lifts haven't even gone down.
Levi Jenkins
Unbelievably based
Eli Nguyen
He would be a massive Chad had he chosen a different path in life
David Robinson
>why isn't my weight going down?
Probably because your lifting weights instead of doing cardio and actually breaking a sweat you dumb fucker.
Lincoln Lee
what cardio should I do primarily?
Wyatt Gonzalez
I mean, a bad diet would overtake either of those and is far more important in regards to losing weight.
Dylan Lee
>Looking at myself into the mirror with the saggy skin now that I'm like 10 lbs on the final stretch Man, I'd look so good if I didn't let myself get to 300+ lbs.
Lincoln Morris
Figured I'd update you all on my progress.
>start 230lbs 5ft 8 crippled - November 2018 >current 161 5ft 8 and crippled - July 2019
Last week I saw family who I fell out with at a family meal and had a good time, I was expecting them to give me shit because of our last meeting but they were all remarking on how good I was looking and how much I had changed. It feels nice having all I've worked on validated, especially by people who you thought didn't really like you.
Have been drinking smoothies made with leafy greens (cannabis leaf DUDE WEED LMAO) and a few blueberries to compliment the nutrition. Energy levels are up, skin looks better too. Idk if it's related or not but either way I'm going to keep it up. Any ideas on leaves to use when I run out of my meme leaves? I was thinking spinach or kale.
I'm skinnyfat now, My HIIT cycling, dips, and bicep curls haven't mitigated the damage too well but I dread to think what I'd look like had I avoided all exercise and just did CICO. There's not a whole lot of exercises I can do as I've had knee reconstruction & quad reconstruction on both legs. I know my progress will be slow but I also know that if I keep it up I won't be a gross piece of shit any more.
The goals are to reduce my BF% by doing 20 minutes of HIIT cycling as much as possible (5 times a week usually). I think I'll continue cutting until I'm 140lbs and then I'll weigh up my options from there. I've also found the most based place in my house to do pull ups so I'm going to be starting those too. Currently I can do 2 good ones before it goes to shit.
Cheers lads, we're all going to make it. If this crippled cunt can do it I know you can.
Asher Wright
>making new thread over 15 posts early OP is a faggot.
I've lost 10kg so far as well (from 87 to 77), and now a lot of my clothes, especially my pants, don't fit. I fucking hate shopping, but its going to look ridiculous when I lose more weight.
Hunter Nguyen
It gets to a point where everything you own will be so saggy/baggy you'll look like you're dressed like a nigger gangster cholo crip
Ayden Young
yeah i am morbid so.
Liam Bell
Same. Too cheap to buy new clothes until I'm at my goal, though.
Lucas Clark
Something you enjoy. Good options are swimming, cycling, rowing or just plain running.
Jordan Bennett
Are you American? Did you go to Europe? I experienced the opposite visiting the states. Ate pretty much the same food I do at home but gained a ton of weight. They put shit into American food.
Jason Diaz
I'm a Britbong who went to Greece. I'm used to Balkan food though (originally Greek). Maybe the tap water cleaned me out lmao
>5'8 180lbs >Tried extreme cutting last year, like 1k cal/day >lost to 165, broke and binged it all back in a week or two
>Re-trying. Starting at 180lbs again >Sustainable cutting with healthy proteins and greens >El Diablo bodyweight training (I know not optimal but I can do it at home so no excuses for skipping)
>1 week weigh in 177.4 >no soda cravings, but still want sweets a lot. let myself have chocolate milk once or twice a week. >feel stronger, not bloated, less depressed.
My only complaint so far is some pretty bad BM/stomach discomfort. Any other /fat/ brothers experience this when they start losing? Wondering if its just my body trying to get rid of bad shit/fat waste or something is actually wrong.
Luke Miller
Honestly id take that over being obese,its not that bad
Henry Morgan
It's the opposite for me, all my clothes are the -perfect- size I used to be 2 years ago. Even after gaining +15kg i refused to buy larger clothes because I never wanted to settle for a fatter less attractive me.
Elijah Taylor
I was morbidly obese. Homeboy said to post your ass now, not when you started.
Better than I was, but once you've sunk enough effort in you want to go all the way. I wouldn't have posted myself when I was a total roly poly either, don't worry.
Nolan Reed
As ugly as it looks, many people see it as battle scars. You won against being a fat fuck, and you have my respect.
I'm Irish and I had one of these once during a layover in New York. It made me throw up quite soon after having it. I think it was because of the sodium, I really struggled with how salty US food is from restaurants when I lived there a few years back.
Zachary Robinson
What's better for weight loss (in addition to the cico and if I'm already doing)? I'm lifting 4x a week and am looking to mix in cardio. I do 2-3 heavy compound lifts and then 3-4 accessories and it takes about 1.5hr. Should I start doing my cardio on rest days, or cut an accessory or two to get my lifting down to 1hr and do 30m of LISS >6'4, sw 245-250, cw 218, gw aesthetic
Brody Brown
Purely for weight loss? Fasting. However you won't be able to increase your muscle mass while doing it.
Jaxson Watson
whenever someone comes here, who lost weight and still looks like shit, everyone says it's because they didn't lift while losing? how can you lift while being completely fasted?
Juan Diaz
Very nice.
Joseph Gray

Evan Green
What's the best way to stop drinking? I hate living but I would like to lose more weight and liquor is sabotaging my loss.
You stop drinking, you become less funny and eventually turn really bitter, hopefully you also stop being around people so absolutely unbearable that you need alcohol to spend time with them.
Tyler Thompson
800 calories per day for 6 weeks, almost entirely from protein
today I'll have a steak instead of chicken or fish because it's my birthday, and that's about as much cheating as you're gonna get out of me
Kevin Sanchez
>I would like to lose more weight and liquor is sabotaging my loss maybe repeat this a few times.. maybe in the mirror for added effect
here I've got a bottle of one of my favorite whiskys sitting right next to me, it's one of the only things I keep on my desk, and I'm not touching it until the 6 weeks is over
Doesn’t seem very smart. You’re straining your body to an incredible degree when you’re feeding it less than a thousand a day. If you’re a complete fat fuck and your TDEE is 3kish then you can lose 2lbs+ a week in a safe manner by eating 1800-2200 cals and not feel like death.
Gavin Moore
>not just doing supersets of weighlifting for cardio
Ryder Bell
>was thinking spinach or kale good job
Julian Johnson
A guy ITT said you need to eat less and do cardio to lose weight and two lardass landwhales called him stupid
Easton Smith
> eat less where?
Owen Ortiz
After years of trying diets with a little success and a lot of failing, I've learned a bit. And I work in a kitchen and I now know how to cook. Earlier this year I had a pretty decent diet, about 1800 calories per day and I lost 35 lbs in something like 3 months. Next thing ya know I'm eating pizza and ice cream again, hardly even realizing that I'm doing it, my clothes are fitting tight and I gained 15 lbs back. Well some girls at work had a random idea to do a weight loss pool and I've decided I'm coming back with a fucking vengeance, I'm gonna cut 40 to 60 lbs in 6 weeks and reach a weight I haven't been since something like 7th grade
this book has taught me some about how to do it safely
God I've lost so much weight and my gut still won't fuck off, does it go last or something?
Levi Cook
You're getting there, bud. Nicely done.
Yes. Stomach fat pads are the first place for fat to be stored.
Dylan Rodriguez
How do I target bellyfat? I just can't seem to lose it and it's driving me insane
Caleb Torres
So the first place it is stored is the last place it is lost in?
Kevin Myers
>spot reduction ngmi
Christian Young
That's how it works. Like inflating then deflating a balloon, same distribution going up as you are going down.
Tyler Diaz
Just realized that if I stop drinking alcohol and stop having desserts daily I'd probably hit my goal weight by October or November.
Brayden Nelson
What about breast fat?
Tyler Scott
>Like inflating then deflating a balloon, same distribution going up as you are going down.
James Campbell
Yeah I get that, but where abouts is breast fat usually in that distribution?
Noah Cruz
Generally same time as the stomach. It's different from person to person though. You'll just have to cut and find out.
Robert Bailey
If losing weight is about sweating then a sauna makes the most sense. Any advice on those?
Easton Rogers
>buy minced beef >222kcal / 100g >check minced beef online for the heck of it >332kcal / 100g Who the fuck should I believe? That's a 100kcal difference, not like 5-10. I can't accurately count calories on this shit.
Asher Morris
>If losing weight is about sweating It's truly not You're not losing fat when you sweat just water, that you have to replenish
Matthew Gonzalez
That's just water weight not fat
Justin Allen
Stick with the package imo. I think this can vary depending on the percentage of fat in the beef.
