Went to see my Dad's gf as it's been a while since I paid her a visit and she couldn't believe how much weight I had lost. Only half a stone (7lbs) since the last time she saw me but in total it's 5.5 stone. Maybe this was the first time she saw me in well fitting clothes that weren't baggy.
It feels so nice having people notice your gains, especially when I've been going since November with the odd "hey you look like you've lost a little" but now it's "Holy shit user you're thin". I'm still high BF% but I'm going to work on that.
I think I'm going to stay twink mode though because I'm disabled and my knees are fucked, but they're loving me being lighter. They've never had it so easy.
We're all gonna make it bros, cheers.

Used to love that feeling but it has now been replaced with me feeling "mm yeah I look ok but i have further to go" perfectionist feeling :/

This month I keep hovering over the same wait doc, I've plateaued. Next month I'm gonna lose at least 7 pounds, promise
Anthony Flores
Depends on how much you're supposed to eat.
Preferably you'd work out and eat like 1700 instead, then you burn 400-500, gain muscle, lose fat and also get to eat bigger meals. But the end result calorie wise would be the same as if you ate 1200.
Justin Butler
That's a good thing on one way bro, just remember to remember how much you've progressed and maybe dwell on that time to time.

my trainer said honey is a good food (as long as it fits within macro goals)
how is a spoon of honey in my tea any different than a spoon of sugar or fake sugar? he always falls back on 'natural good, processed bad'. real sugar is natural tho...

I'm trying to be low carb user. Am vegan so a no carb diet would probably kill me.

Am lifting as well. Knees are pretty fucked right now so can't run. Am walking more though.
1200 gets me to my acceptable goal weight by my wedding. 1200 with walking/lifting gets me there faster and hopefully then some/
Connor Davis
I know user, kind of you to say though and I appreciate it. I think I'm feeling negative because I've eaten lots of chocolate and I'm drinking beer right now because my dad brought it all back from holiday for me
Damn we're pretty much at the same point and I started at 200lbs also, we're gonna make it breh.
Connor Watson
>snacking fucking hate that word
Nolan Peterson
i have lose sebendy pound doctor
Leo Diaz
All good bro.
Chocolate does that to me too, as soon as i eat it I feel shitty. On the other hand I don't think it's a bad thing enjoying a treat your Dad got you while he was away, you, it can't turn into a common thing (assuming he doesn't go away every weekend or whatever) and it's just nice to chill with your Dad.
Honey is superior to refined sugar in some ways (as are maple syrup, sugar beet syrup, blackstrap molasses...). Whereas the mentioned plant syrups are rich in micronutrients and fiber, raw honey has been shown to have a number of beneficial effects beyond what refined sugar offers - enhanced insulin sensitivity and antidiabetic action, beneficial effect on reproductive function and hormones in animal models, in vivo antioxdidant action, furthermore unlike free sugars honey is likely not harmful to teeth or gums due to its antibacterial action (conflicting results). However unlike maple syrup or sugar beet syrup, which are rich in zinc, iron, magnesium, folate and potassium, honey is almost entirely devoid or essential minerals and vitamins.

Posted in the last thread but daydream2 weight check in, 174.0 lbs.
If you want to sweeten your tea but not worry about calories or carbs then try the sweetener erythritol. 0,2 calories per gram, glycemic index of 0 so it doesn't affect keto if you're into that kind of diet, it's 70% sweet like sugar but doesn't have any aftertaste. If you consume less than 50g in a day it won't affect digestion like malitol and other sweetners
Carter Clark
I see starbucks cups out in the middle of fucking nowhere honestly, like in the middle of a trail walk, 5km either side from the nearest road how the fuck does that happen

I've only seen 3 starbucks in my 29 years on earth, I live in the rural midwest, the nearest one is 55 miles away. I see a cup more than I see a starbucks but that's still rare.
Thanks.

it's not raining for a change, the temperature outside is perfect, I wanna go for a long stroll but I got a bit eager and went too hard on quads today wat do
Ian White
Anyone else doing noporn while losing weight to try and get normal test levels back after years of sedentary life and fast food? I've only been beating off once a week to instagram whores, swimsuit models, or female body builders and these are some of the strongest boners and thickest jizzes I've had in years.
Charles Foster
Check the forecast. If the weather will be fine for a long stroll tomorrow, then go tomorrow. Otherwise, go today.
Gabriel Cooper
>tfw no gf to hold you accountable for your fuckups Well this was a feel I wasn't prepared for.
Kayden Evans
go for the stroll, the pain should go away when you warm up after 15-20 minutes(works for me most of the time)
Justin Harris
You also have no girlfriend to hold you back user.
I do that well enough on my own. Don't need a gf for that.

It's one of my favorites, but a lot of people don't like how tomoko grows and isn't as socially inept as she was in the beginning. I think it's better.
Starting my fast tonight. Current weight 89kg. Goal 65.
Gonna load up on electrolyte tomorrow, daily dose worth of sodium and potassium. Then I'll do 48s, with 44h dry and 4h window for drinking pee. Gonna do daily workouts too. Curious how quick I can shed that fat. If it goes well I'll post before and after.
fasting will wreck you metabloism please be smarter lol

it ain't a race bub they're called crash diets for a reason

First time fatty poster. Got mocked on another board for being a fat boomer. They were correct. I was 6 feet 0 inches and 295 pounds. Total blood cholesterol was a 299. A1C 7.8 Belly measures 55" at the navel with no droop. I look like a pregnant Boomer.
Well, got on Metformin and going low carb 2000 calories a day or less. Now starting push ups. Can do ten. Try to do 3-4 sets spread out over the day. Feeling the burn now. Day off. Last meal was pot roast and broccoli. 800 calories Nothing but bottled water. So far after 3 months, down to 278 and my Doctor flipped on my blood work. Total cholesterol was a 127 last week. Quit slurping down the sodas and my body quickly burned the cholesterol. Need to get the good cholesterol number up. Wife sees the difference.
Have to stay under a 10 A1c and not insulin dependent to keep my job as a truck driver.
I used to run a city delivery route. Since I started running exclusively highway miles only, I blew up from a muscular 240 size 36 waist to a peak of 305. Got man boobs and weak too. I used to handle 400 pund fun safes with a two wheel dolly with no problem. Lots of heavy lifting back then.
Trying to walk and do calisthenics during my mandatory 30 minute break. Cheese and salami snacks. At least one salad a day.
My goal is back in a 36 inch waist and a muscular 225 pounds. I wore a size 52 coat in high school when I weighed only 175-180. 34 waist back then. I am freaking 100 pounds heavier. Still have my Varsity letter jacket. No male pattern baldness though.
lads i am plataeuing right around the obese mark 5'7 manlet at 191 lbs feelsbadman
Parker Cooper
I am 165cm, now 67,5 kg I am honestly very scared of losing muscle mass instead of grease. I am eating good fats though and going biking an hour every day.
Nathan Rivera
just occurred to me that a lot of you weigh yourselves daily what counts as a plateau when you weigh daily?
Adrian Cooper
That's good you're taking charge of your health at that age, its annoying to see people in their 20s bitch and cry about how its too late to get in shape when they're still in their primes physically. No excuse when theres old people getting after it too.
how come people who get gastric bypass surgery don't eventually starve to death? if their stomach is permanently reduced to the size of an egg then unless they're constantly eating calorie dense food then they're gonna run out of fat eventually come to think of it, I've never seen a slim person who'd had the surgery, they're still obese or overweight

>Wow classic comes out in 9 days Welp. Its been a pleasure losing weight with you guys, but it seems my time is up. Best of luck to the rest of ya
Cameron Lee
keep your caloric deficit like now and do 60 jumping jacks, 10 squats 5 push ups every hour and a half of gaming. Shit works, played the whole Mass effect trilogy+DLC like that two months ago while not slowing down my progress
Chase Reyes
What should I aim for instead? I'm eating about 1200 a day and then doing about 400 a day in dedicated cardio

Jayden White
I came to wish you good luck in the journey, I wont make it, I only cut unhealthy stuff but I cant afford healthy food. there is nothing in my life worth living for and sugar rush is only thing left which brings joy.
Depends on your TDEE and how much you weigh and what your goals are, and how hungry you feel is a huge factor.
You want to make a lifestyle change and SLOWLY lose the weight, preferably while gaining muscle. Trying to crash diet and just starve yourself will end up with you being skinnyfat and lethargic with no muscle, because you lose muscle together with that "weight" lost.
Depending on your goals it could also be a long road, so eating something you can really handle for a year and getting into that habit will be a lot easier to stick to. One "cheat" day can ruin a week or progress, remember.
Justin Hill
were all gonna make it brah
posted here two months ago as former fatass back to tell u there are abs at the end of the tunnel in case someone needed a kick in their ass
just keep going day in day out its definitely worth it bros fuck life if you dont live up to your full potential dont be a npc spectator go do that main quest boi
Hey Anons, I just hit my goal today, might shed a few more kg just for the sake of it but that's it, I'm not here for this though, please Anons, remember to not starve yourselves, eat well, don't overtrain and remember that mental health comes before your apperance, you are doing this for yourself and it's fine if you feel good about yourselves and it's also fine if you have your doubts but don't let these get to you, you're doing great! Remember that no matter what happens your family and your friends will support you, and if you unfortunately happen not to have either of those then I will always support and cheer for you. Please stay safe both on your journey and overall, you will make it, just give it some time.
just do CICO, the "healthiness" of the food is not so important for weightloss(it's advised but not necesarry). Also how the hell can't you afford healthy food? Rice+any vegetable= healthy,cheap and delicious. Concerning meat chicken livers and hearts are tasty,full of vitamins and healthy also they're dirt cheap.
Adrian Adams
Nice my dude. You seem to be about my size, did you have any issues with loose skin, and how did you deal with that? I'm fully willing to save up the money for surgery if that's what it takes when I make it.
Kevin Perry
Bullshit. A bag of 1kg frozen chicken is like $6 A 5kg bag of rice is like $5 Bread is $1 Butter is $2
Add in some sort of breakfast foods like yoghurts, cereal, whatever else is cheap. You literally can live relatively healthy on poverty prices.
Inb4 >b-but i'm a ketard and I need to eat steak every day
Aaron Fisher
making very nice gains in my upper body, shoulders looking broad and can feel the muscles on my chest and back, feels great. Head down to my mid section and it's pure fucking dough I feel I can sink my hand in the love handles. I feel like I dont have enough muscle yet to cut. what do I do?
people here for 1 thing and 1 thing only bro to get aesthetic. if you are obese the only way you gonna make it is to say fuck it to your mental health. it takes sacrifice, it takes courage. its not the same as jumping into a bunch of comfy pillows it means eating food that tastes like shit while you fall down a waterfal of whey into a lion's den only theres no lion u gotta fight a bunch of oiled up buff niggas with nothing but a pair of dumbbells.
And if you somehow manage to survive and get out you will realize that you're forever small and continue going. Its an addiction but one that makes you become what you dream of. Sugarcoat it into a "lifestyle" if you want, but don't tell people to take it easy. be angry high energy individuals and you will make it
Asher Myers
>rice and bread for weight loss No. Buy frozen chicken breasts as user suggests. But eat it with veggies (you can get frozen veggies piss cheap). Root-crops (cook them without oil) are great (and cheap) aswell. Carrots, sweet potato, parsnip, etc. For snacking, eat low fat yoghurt (or quark) with berries or fruit.
Austin Carter
How heavy are you? post numbers. If you're below 350, fugg it and just swoll up with muscle
Leo Morgan
5'10, 15% bf. Im not sure how much is loose skin and how much is actual fat. Im cutting down to 10% ill let you know once i reach that. Most of my "past" is in stretch marks but I dont really mind it its like a natural tattoo and one that has meaning
David Miller
when he says "bread" he doesn't mean a whole loaf
Jace Rogers
15%? Wow that’s amazing
Jaxson Myers
>Im not sure how much is loose skin and how much is actual fat fucking same I'm never gonna fill this is muscle so I don't know what to do about it
thanks bro just dont worry about loose skin. for a while it was always on my mind as I was cutting down, but it really doesn't matter as most of what you see down there is fat that still needs to go. once you see your abs define slowly that's when you can start thinking about it, and if it really is bad once you hit 10% numbers u can always do surgery...its a 3-4hr procedure, heals up fast and you can hide the scar after no big deal. Always take things one step at a time. Think about the negative of today and how to clear that up, and think about the positive of tomorrow. if you think about the negative of tomorrow then you will become demotivated to fix the negative of today
