I ate a quarter of large pickle because a coworker offered and I was hungry. Otherwise my diet has been coffee and unsalted nuts

I had some chicken steaks for dinner, with halloumi and veggies. About halfway through the plate I felt filled, but I ate the rest anyway. I should have saved it.
I ate all contents of my candies box. tomorrow I need to restock food so it will be test of will
Jacob Gutierrez
Told myself I wouldn't eat anything but dinner. Had a snocone while I was out because it was so hot.
Luis Phillips
Today instead of apples and carrots I had three sandwiches with cheese for dinner. Also I've slacked off during my workout and used the shadow technique only for about half of swings I did.
Jaxon Carter
I ate 4 extra crackers with cheese and 4 extra sandwiches with cheese. I love farmer made cheese from my town :(

I fucked this fat chick then ate pizza in bed with her.
Josiah Thomas
5'11" CW 225lbs GW 165lbs then we'll see what I need to work on
I've started back up going to the gym and calorie counting at a 500kcal/day deficit.
Currently doing the SL app as lifting guidance + 20-30mins of cardio. What is the best way to lift to lose weight? Is SL good enough for now or is higher rep or high intensity better? Also open to switching to fasting rather than calorie restriction.
Increased calories by 400 and up cardio to 5x a week. I hope I still lose weight. It just some of you guys after pictures look unhealthy like holocaust picture bad. Hopefully exercise and lifting will stop this.
Aaron Scott
Don't lift to lose weight. Lift to build muscle.
Eat mostly protein. Fat is okay, but you want to burn body fat. No carb.
Fasting is great but on a longer fast you get no gains from lifting. Do shorter fasts like OMAD or ADF.
even if you keep 100% of your muscle mass when losing weight, you won't be ripped fat people strength is horribly misconstrued, you're likely starting from zero no matter what so it's best to start early
at the same time there's no point dwelling on >oh god I should have started lifting years ago because the same could be said about losing weight in the first place. Just work from today on, that's all you can do.
Andrew Garcia
Planned to fast today but mommy™ made my favorite summertime meal (spicy Italian sausage with grilled peaches and balsamic crema) so I guess I'm doing OMAD
Ayden Collins
Went over to my parents for dinner, they Made steak and potatoes with salad I didn’t have a lot of potatoes so I think I’m under 1800 but didn’t track any Calories or Macros
Kevin Martin
How the fuck can the chicken breast I use be this low cal?
I usually grab 3 and cook them in the oven, chop them up and then make a stirfry with just broccoli. Makes 2 servings one for me and my gf.
How many calories would that realistically be? I'm usually estimating at around 400 cals and that's with about 300 grams of broccoli and around 200-300 grams of this chicken.
I've been doing really well, bros. Last few years I have dropped 100lbs back into a healthy range. Severe overeater and now eating normal portions after training myself to do so.
3 months ago my brother killed himself and now I cannot get my shit together. I started emotional eating all over again and I'm putting the weight back on fast. 20lbs in 3 months.
What the fuck do I do, eating is the only thing that makes me feel anything other than miserable right now. How do I pull myself out of depression and quit being a bitch that eats my feelings away
Aaron Foster
Becuase everytime I see people post chicken breast here its alot higher. More than a cal per gram. Mines saying it's 80 cals per 100g.
I wanna make sure I'm not eating more than I think I am. Other people's posts are making me think I am.
Jonathan Gomez
You'll be next to kill yourself if you keep it up. Sorry user.
But being a fat fuck won't bring your brother back. And you'll just be worse off for it. Lift for him. Eat healthy for him.
1 minute of mouth pleasure isn't worth a lifetime of pain and suffering.
Zachary Howard
Honestly don't worry too much. At most you will be 30-40cal off which is basically nothing.
Carson Anderson
That sucks dude. Maybe keep the food in your house to a few days' worth at most? Or keep stuff around that has to be cooked/prepared in such a way that you can't just rip it open and binge. "just stop eating lol" is hard to do, but go for a walk instead when you get the urge to eat. Put physical space between you and the food, even if you don't want to leave your house.
Christian Baker
I like to use the app cronometer to log my food, I don't use it for everything but it uses generic information, meaning it will just say 'chicken breast' and will tell you the calories and all the micronutrients.
Sebastian Lopez

You're hanging out with 18-22 year olds at a club where no one is sober what the fuck did you expect.
Xavier Powell
I went to the gym yesterday despite the extreme anxiety I put on some headphones and pushed through it I was going to go today but my arms and legs hurt so much even going up and down stairs, sitting down/standing up, it feels good in a way
Jeremiah Garcia
Goddamn bros when did they update MyFitnessPal and why is it so ugly now?
Michael Young
I think it was last Saturday. I went to the gym pretty hard. When I got home my mom had a craving for Olive Garden so we went. I knew in the back of my mind I was gonna pay so I’m like I’m gonna treat myself. I ended up eating >2 salad servings >like 4 breadsticks >family shared calamari appetizer >the “tour of Italy” which features lasagna, Alfredo pasta and chicken Parmesan
I dropped $80 and what I can only guess was 2000 calories for me in one sitting
Luis Reyes
I'm on a plateau what should i do?
currently on keto eating 1300 kcal/day 6'1/260lbs
Evan Rogers
pray to doctor fung for the strength to endure a few weeks with no change on the scale make an offering at his shrine if you get desperate
Angel Ward
Hate to break it to you bro but that is absolutely more than 2000 cals at Olive Garden. Their shit is ridiculously caloric.
Evan Anderson
for chick breast raw (no fillers or flavorings added) i go with 160 cal / 0g carb / 4g fat/ 35g protein per 6oz
Kevin Cruz
It’s cool m8 I know I was a disgusting piece of shit that day. That’s why I confessed. It wasn’t a “I had a healthy amount of protein and carbs post workout meal”.
Jace Bailey
Drop 300 calories like a madman and tell yourself you're eating 300 more
Chase Peterson
divided by 1.71 for 100g: 94cal 2.5g fat 20g protein
David Cook
You need to find something else that makes you happy, and everytime you crave food you go do that instead. Go ride your bike or go for a walk every time you get sad instead or something.
Charles Barnes
Starting Greyskull wish me luck
Kayden Anderson
Started my 1000 calories a day back in April at 215lbs. Now I'm around 170ish lbs. Eat protein, drink lots of water and hit cardio along with lifting 3-5 times a week. I wish I started lifting sooner. If my 34 year old self can lose weight then so can you. Now just waiting on abs to show and handles to burn.
Play games. It's proven games are very good at helping people after a traumatic event because of the way they capture your attention.
Dylan Collins
Great luck with your skin. I assume its still a bit loose.
Grayson Murphy
I'm not sure yet. I still feel the fat along my stomach but I'm sure there will be some areas to fill in.
Jace Reed
Cuck
Aaron King
did you have fat on your chest at all? I also started in April but at 250 lbs and now I'm 191 but still have man boobs.
Robert Ward
Yes, I still have a little in the lower part of my chest atm. I have handles, stomach and lower boob fat still. The last parts that took to slimming down. My thighs burned away quickly and so did a lot of my face.
Alexander Perry
Similar pattern Damn. How much more are you planning to lose. My goal 170 but its gotten more apparent that s still high
David Allen
I honestly haven't set a weight goal. Now that I've started lifting I know the scale will be all over the place and I didn't want to deal with that. I just look in the mirror and pinch myself to check fat lol.
Jason Barnes
Despite all the variants of that meme I have not once ever found it interesting or entertaining in the least bit. It started stale and continues to be stale.
Caleb Thomas
just go when you're not as sore, no need to overdo it early I did this in early July just fucking forced myself to go lift even tho i am huge and weak as fuck. I got a lot of stares and snickers but fuck those kikes i am not there to make friends or hang out. Almost 2 months later and I'm making legit gains and am stronger than a lot of the same fags who were giving me shit in the beginning. You will make it it you put in the work. Simple as that
Ryder Russell
Don't feel too bad. Being fat is one of the most trivial qualities about yourself you can change because all you need to do is just put the fork down fatty. Their hatred is what will spur on your personal growth if you are a mature person who understands why they are saying what they are saying because fat people are inherently gluttonous slobs who don't take care of themselves. Try changing your height or frame or a deep personality flaw because your uncle liked to snuggle up with you in bed when you were a kid. There are worse unchangeable fates than being fat.
Austin Hill
Good shit man. How tall?
Josiah Wood
5'10" and thanks!
John Clark
>step on scale >175lbs >almost to the 160s
Fuck I feel so much better than when I was 200lbs, I never want to be that flabby and weak again
Joshua Butler
well... if nothing else I made it further than last time before the routine binges started
Christian Hughes
FATHER FORGIVE ME For I am the embodiment of weakness I am the epitome of excuses I practice not what I preach I fold on every plan and I bend at every obstacle I am not who I envision I am not who I see in the mirror I have become complacent I am not worthy to be attractive I am not worthy to be strong I am not worthy to be human Yet I will focus Yet I will try again Yet I will rebuke and reject my fat I am garbage but I will not accept it Please forgive me as I struggle to forgive myself
Joseph Kelly
>at another base for a few months to do training >temporary duty = free cafeteria food, not gonna turn that down >but the cooks have no idea how much calories are in the meals they serve I've been on a 1500 calorie limit for 3 months, but this makes things difficult. Maybe I should do alternate day fasting instead of guessing?
my family keeps having me cook calorie and carb dense food, and i keep complying i'm still losing, but i am my own gains goblin
Evan Gutierrez
When they say don't drink your calories, does that include milk? I count all my calories and would prefer to eat a lighter meal and enjoy a glass of milk after a workout.
Side note, how realistic is it to go from 30 percent bodyfat and only able to do 5 push-ups before failure to doing 60 push-ups in a minute in 1.5-3 years? I want to join the military but I think I'm fucking doomed. I have gone from 40% bf to 30 in only 3 months. I'm not worried about losing the weight in that time but I am worried about building the muscle to do all those push-ups, sit ups, and pull ups.
Nolan Stewart
do you drink milk?
Anthony Hall
keep the meals simple and take a food scale. look up approximations based on what you're eating. fasting is fine too unless you're prone to eating like a dummy on refeeds
Camden Torres
I joined the military when I was a 130lb WoW virgin that ran a 15 minute one mile and could only do 15 pushups. By the end of basic I was running a 13 minute two mile and could do 50 pushups. Even the most out of shape fucker will get into shape as long as you try, they work you to death six days a row and your only break is on sunday.
Samuel Thompson
How long do they give you to be able to pass? Can you join without meeting weight guildelines if you pass by the end of PT?
Joshua Price
The second part is more important. Its hard to just make yourself improve. Its easier when someone is telling you to do it or you're fucked.
Joshua Jenkins
what are some good macro for CICO?
I'm gonna stop keto
Josiah Gomez
What the fuck am I looking at?
Michael Gray
Just eat meat and eggs. Nothing else.
Jackson Morris
all of them
Gavin Gonzalez
Basic training is like 10 weeks or so iirc you have until the last week pretty much to pass, if you dont make the weight but pass the PT they tape the part of your neck that has your adams apple and your stomach at the belly button them subtract it to see if your BF is in regulation. I'd say try to make that because after basic it only gets harder to stay in shape once you get freedom again.
This sounds so odd its hard to believe. So its okay to join 10-20 pounds over expected if possible?
Caleb Harris
Yeah because you'll easily lose 10-30lbs if you're fat and gain 10-20lbs of muscle if you're underweight like I was. Thats why when you graduate they give people the option to exchange their uniforms for a different size because its common for someone to drop a size or two or gain a size.
Matthew James
/fat/goers take notice, this is how you roll with a day to maintain progress. You want to avoid doing this. You cant know if you're progressing if you don't know what you're taking in. Resiliency right here. Good work. Don't let it become a habit. You won't need luck. Be your own witness. You've almost made it. If your binges are routine, change your routine. Even the slightest change to what you do can make it easier to change your diet. Forgive yourself. This father is as absent as your own. When I was at my heaviest, I would eat a pizza and 4 liters of soda per day. That's going to have to be the thing you tackle first. Regardless of if you buy into keto, having that much sugar shock your system will give you unquenchable cravings.
There's no easy way to do it. I had to go cold turkey. It makes it easier mentally if you keep your diet fucked up, but just cut out your soda. Eat as shit as you are now, just with water, and then work on your diet. You can do it user.
Ryan Sanders
how is it possible to consume so much liquid
Asher Mitchell
By having it in a minifridge next to you, never moving from your desk, and having it on an IV drip from the moment you get up.
t. fatty in remission
Brody Bennett
Replace 2 with water. Just 2 of those. Then an add 1 more water a week later. You should be craving water more then soda at that point. Then just replace the last one.
Adam Cruz
No, he needs to go cold turkey. Sugar is addictive.
Jayden Garcia
>You should be craving water more than soda at that point
No. When you get to the size that 8 liters of soda daily puts you at, you'll just have the cravings burn for months instead of a week. That's a good system for food, but not soda.
Justin Harris
Good job user. You just entered the end game. I'm at 175lbs rn used to be 209lbs, it only gets harder from here. I've been stuck at 175 for like a week and a half. We're gonna make it.
Owen Russell
I love riding my bike. I think I will start keto and see if I too can lose weight like you.
Connor Richardson
i guess you're all Jow Forums now good job
Luke Jenkins
Have about 10 more kilograms to lose.Can't wait to finally be low bodyfat for the first time in 10 years.
Three things helped me get out of a similar gloom. Tabletop with good friends, reading fantasy/Sf and vidya like witcher series and rpgs in general. It is a kind of escapism but it will help you heal slowly while keeping you busy
Dominic Russell
I seriously need to recalibrate my threshold for success Don't know how to snap out of this interminable mindset of "anything less than 100% means failure"
