I used to be 120kg and I got down to 79 for about 3 years, I've just had a son and my eating went to shit and I stopped working out because I was always either too busy or tired.
Now I'm 105kg and it's compounding my health problems, I did it before, I need the will power to do it again and stick with it, lose it all for good

I am not fat per se (correct BMI but fat accumulates under my chin and over my belly making me what Jow Forums calls skinnyfat) and I would like to have low BF% but depression and deaily stress from being a 30yo virgin make me drink and eat unhealthy food so I feel just a bit better. Especially alcohol makes me feel less horrible and lonely.
Had a cheat meal last night and again today for lunch and now my parents want us to go eat fried fish this evening.
I'm fucked bros.

Can Calisthenics outrun skinnyfat menace?
John Cox
notice to any fatty contestants, have some personal matters to attend to today and probably won't be around until this evening. might be late posting results. anyway, weigh in for week 7!
Skinnyfat just means you carry excess fat from the perspective of aesthetics and optimal health. It's not some special status or genetic context. You're simply in between skinny (which is low body fat and low muscle mass) and overweight (which is a significant amount of excess fat)
Anthony Hughes
how so? just more motivation to not slip up again. Who cares if one day you have more intake than every other day you've already done, it's just gonna be a slight amount of fat loss less than if you didn't have it
Jackson Walker
Reposting my fatty contest entry because it was the last post in a dead thread:
>fatty contest
jimyeet here 119.6kg, 263.6lb, a 3.5lb gain
Been to the gym Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday this week. Gone in hard on cardio, body weight, and lifting. New PB on deadlift and benchpress. Started doing OHP. Cardio machines reckon I burned ~400 calories each day (inb4 meme). And stayed under 1900 calories every day (that's my MFP limit to lose 1lb a week)
And still... 3.5lb gain.
Not gonna give up. I don't feel fatter. I feel stronger. I feel fitter.
Maybe I just need to have a huge shit or something, haven't done any of that for like two days.
Off on holiday today, so I'm probably going to miss the last week of this round of the contest (unless the villa we're in has a scale, which it almost certainly won't)
Anyway thanks for reading my blog folks, don't forget to like and subscribe

it sucks starting but it gets easier as you get into it and you learn a lot of willpower. and sometimes you have those urges to just binge on 100 mars bars, if you really must have something for your own mental health just go have ONE thing and let that be it. tell yourself that every extra thing you have is a setback to your goal
Austin Rivera
Just leaving this here to show you it is possible to ascend above your current reality and break the negative subconscious programming and thought loops which are keeping you in a low vibrational paradigm. Started at 122Kg on a 5’8 frame, currently at around 83Kg. I intend on cutting until I have defined abs and will then start lifting again. Lose about the first 15 or so KG through caloric restriction and resistance training, and the remaining weight through salt water fasting and steady state cardio. I was suicidal, socially awkward and morbidly depressed and nihilistic, now I have a great social life and have girls interested in my for ME. YOU HAVE SUPREME CONTROL OVER YOUR OWN MIND. YOU ARE THE GOD OF YOUR UNIVERSE. TAKE YOUR PLACE ON YOUR DIVINE THRONE AND RULE. Is this what making it feels like bros?
DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHT! ESPECIALLY COLLECTIVE POSITIVE THOUGHT!

I had a good 3 weeks of eating with minimal shit, but then one day I saw what i can only describe as "a deep fried surimi stick" and I don't know what snapped but I ordered 5 and ate them. i just went back into a spiral of eating all this crap all day long. it's been 5 months since then and its nearly at the three week mark again
Sebastian Young
You know you can spike your metabolism with certain foods, or just food in general, right? Your body isn't fucking retarded, it knows you're starving it. Also it sounds like you're weighing yourself every week. That's always going to be askew. Weigh yourself once a month, if at all. If you can't see the changes in the mirror, you're not doing jack shit. I mean what're you gonna do, carry a fucking scale to the beach? >cheating on holiday lmao just eat real food that isn't layered in added sugar and salt.

I was supposed to start my weight loss yesterday, but ended up binging on a bunch of bread, donuts, etc. Gained .2 lbs. 206.8 -> 207. I think I won't have much trouble today though as I got rid of all my kryptonite yesterday.
Cameron Robinson
I wear a Fitbit (given to me as a gift) and have noticed for the last couple months my heart rate has been raising and dropping in cycles For about a week it will drop and I will get low resting heart rate numbers (low 60s) - corresponding to this I have a harder time elevating my heart rate and getting into “Fat burn” territory Then for a week or two it goes up to high 60s or low 70s, but it jumps and stays elevated more easily when I lift or do cardio I don’t track my sodium intake, but my diet doesn’t vary greatly from week to week, I eat basically the same things each week I am also on a Beta Blocker and a high blood pressure med from when I was much fatter but take them consistently as well
Has anyone else noticed something similar? Should I start tracking sodium as well?

Do you seriously mean to say your before pic is at 122kg and your after pic at 83kg? A ~40 kilo difference should be far bigger, or am I crazy? That looks like a 15-20 kilo difference at best.
Brandon Brown
Ketard Fung-cult checking in, you ever noticed how in every Supersize vs Superskinny the big guys always love their carbs? The women have a “sweet tooth” and never get enough of cupcakes and chocolate. That’s because carbs are addictive as well as not satisfying your hunger signals. That’s why it’s easy to overeat on carbs, hence you “always have room for dessert.”
Dr. Now, would you ever be interested in starting a binge-free contest? People who binge get eliminated.

back on track after last weeks anomaly. Think I'll drop my beer intake from 6 per week to only drinking at social occasions, i.e. never. Gotta step up the exercise too, did none last week, just worked on the house instead.
I quit smoking 4 years ago, but before that I was a pack a day smoker. My relationship with carbs reminds me of my relationship with cigs.
Wyatt Gomez
> big guys always love their carbs They don't. Fat people all have high-fat diets. Fat people also despise eating carbohydrates without fat, it's not something many of them are aware of is even possible to do (i.e. eating plain pasta with vegetables without adding cheese, oil or meat). Conversely, fat people don't exist in societies with a high carbohydrate and low fat intake.
>The women have a “sweet tooth” and never get enough of cupcakes and chocolate Cupcakes and chocolate are high in fat and low in carbohydrates. So these women have a preference for dietary fat. A preference for sweet foods (sugar, not fat) is mediated by FGF21 and associated with lower body weight and a reduced risk for diabetes.
>it’s easy to overeat on carbs It's almost impossible to overeat carbohydrates. There are a few carbohydrate overfeeding studies and, in so far as it is mentioned, the participants are described as being in agony and wanting nothing more than to stop eating.
>always have room for dessert. Desserts are low in carbohydrates.
Logan Jenkins
Yeah I get what you mean, the photos don’t do it justice. I was about 110 in the first pic, don’t have any pics of me at my biggest.
Its the mix of carbs and fat that fucks up the brain. Youll get sick of it way before eating with eating spoons of sugar and the same is true for meat. Mix the two together however and it really fucks the hunger suppression
Angel Jackson

Jaxon Jenkins
Pretty bad. Drink a little of the real stuff then chase it down with water.
Nathan Kelly
I agree with the fat thing. For some reason the men go for savory stuff like chili fries, cheese and pizza. I didn’t notice the thing about butter in the cupcakes though, you have a point. I was watching (more YouTube) this guy explain the fast food industry searching for the “bliss point” a perfect combination of sugar, fats and salt. I am curious about the impossible to overeat on carbs thing though. I guess eating straight sugar is difficult.
Angel Clark
informpill me about cooking oils please. also is it true you should eat yolk still in liquid state?
Liam Clark
the impossible to overeat on carbs is bullshit. Most of my 40 kg weight gain was from carbs. I eat a lot of pasta most often with salsa I prepared myself and had little oil because it fucked up the tomato and spice taste(my pasta portions were regularly 300-500 grams uncooked), rice with vegetables made without oil (also often 200 to 400 grams uncooked rice)and bread with with various hams(a sandwich was most often half a loaf of bread) without toppings like mayonaisse and without cheese because I don't like it. I could eat pasta and rice until I could feel physical pain in my stomach from too much food, one time I ate 1 kg pasta(uncooked, I don't know how it weighed cooked) for lunch and then had around half a kilo of rice for dinner. I'm not sure that user is basing what he says on anything more than a few misunderstood pieces of data and his own weird view on carbs

I'll report to you how much I weight tomorrow, today I was at 100.5
Obesity is not caused by overeating. It is a disease: There is a protein in your fat cells that collapses and makes the cells permanently stuck in suck in as much fat as possible, do not release. (it is not very dissimilar from how proteins fail in alzheimers)
You cannot cure it by starving yourself, nothing will work. Sometimes it fixes on its own, which is the reason why many people promote so many conflicting, sure way to lose fad diets, as fat people try to diet constantly and think that whatever they were trying at the moment worked, but it is not so.
That even includes keto, as when the problem fixes itself, you suddenly have a massive accesible store of calories and on0yl need to eat protein to repair the tissues damaged by the starvation, so you want to eat protein and nothing else. If you try to force keto on yourself it won't work.
Trying to starve yourself (CICO, intermittent fasting, fasting) won't work, you only starve yourself more as the fat tissues absorb all the fat you eat and won't release it. High carb, low (near zero) fat diet may somewhat diminish the weight gain, but it won't cure it and won!t work forever either. Trying to cure by eating less won't make you thin, you may starve yourself to death while you still carry all the fat. It's pointless. Wait for a cure.
Elijah Smith
Lift, do cardio, drink water and eat protein while on a calorie deficit boys. Cardio will burn more calories and get stamina up. Lifting will get you small gains while keeping the muscle you already have. Protein will help repair your muscles and lead to lean body mass. Water is life saving and makes your skin look better. You can do this. Working out only takes an hour out of your day. Become a machine.

There was one noice study on 200+ inmates in some prison, where they were allowed, with no drawbacks, limitless food on top of their normal prison diet, one group had access to carb-dense foods like pasta and the other to fat-dense foods. The one with carb dense foods was overeating on average over 4 k calories while the fat group had around 1,5k overeating. It pretty much proves that it's far easier to overeat on carbs than fat.
Hunter Williams
3 months inbetween pictures. Would you say i've made slight progress? I've been swimming, running and hiking. Im still fat but feel better
There's definitely progress visible here, and more than just slight. No wonder you feel better when you've gotten active. Keep it up senpai.

Liam Ramirez
>sweet taste making me crave sugar
New study suggests artificial sweeteners may be working against you, instigating sugar cravings and nudging weight gain.
One theory is that when your brain senses sweet taste that is not accompanied by energy or calories, it is confused and therefore instigates the desire to eat more so you get calories (energy).
Thomas Brooks
If they like that taste and it’s healthier than the shit they usually get, why not start cooking for your family? You might help them get healthier.
Ryan Anderson
How do I prevent loose skin when losing fat? The past years I've gained fat significantly and it has gathered on my gut. I am to lose 35 kilos. 1 per week and do 12 week cuts with 2 week breaks in between. Is it a good strategy? I am 23 years old male.
Cameron Ortiz
Birthday week, everyone wants to take you out for dinner or make you a special meal. Pretty much been maintaining my weight, but I need to get back into the exercise groove.
Gavin Smith
It follows plain logic that if sweetness is sensed by the body it shouldn't get rid of any preexisting sweet cravings and may expand them further, regardless of whether any calories are accompanied with the sweet taste. Using artificial sweeteners to improve diet is just shooting yourself in the knee.
Hudson Scott
yeah lovehandles
Elijah Clark
there's no real proven way to prevent loose skin, unfortunately. Some people claim that moisturizing the areas where you think you'll have loose skin will help its health and elasticity, some say that eating collagen can also help skin elasticity(collagen is good for you regardless of loose skin so if you can, eat it) etc. Genetics can also be a factor but two most important factors are age and how much weight you'll lose. You're young, 35 kg is not that much and if you incorporate weight lifting and bodyweight exercises that affect the areas you think will have the most loose skin you'll probably be fine
