The people who rent our barns to put shove pigs in decided they were gonna start filling them early, tomorrow. Had to bust my ass yesterday and slat patch 2 barns in a row. Have to do another one today, I don't think we have enough slat patch. Gonna be a long day, I need to leave and just get there, once I start working it won't feel so bad.
I'm 5.8 lbs from no longer being overweight. Not being obese anymore was something, but I'm so close to not even being overweight anymore.
Got back into doing the racecourse loop, did it as a bit of le /nightwalk/ when I felt I was treading water and then stopped when I felt like I was getting somewhere. I think it's about 7kms from my house and back, did it at a pretty brisk pace. Now that I'm settling into posting here and becoming more regimented toward weight loss I think I'll keep it up.
Matthew Morris
proud of you user, you're close to making it
Robert Ward
Hey, well done, you're right there
Andrew Adams
1.95m 125kg M
I was 135kg when i started eating only once a day, balanced meals if not slightly caloric, around 1000-1200 calories. got good progress especially on high effort days, i usually just sit at my pc all day though.
Up until i hit 123kg and then flatlined for a week I was eating 1000 calories and i wasn't losing weight. Any idea why? even at BMR should still consume 2000 calories...
Currently on a hiatus for 2 weeks back up to 125kg eating 3 times a day.
John Rogers
Water retention maybe? Did you eat a lot of salty shit?
Juan James
Looking for a volunteer for four months, I need to suck benis, I figure if I have benis in my mouth for most of the day I won't have time to eat in excess.
Henry Sullivan
yuup, i like everything to be salty.
Joseph King
water weight, one week is not a long time, be patient
Luis Foster
If you reach a plateau just eat more calories one day and then go back to your diet.

Nathan Parker
Guys I am a little overweight and Iwished to go on a diet, I started the diet yesterday, my diet consisted in eating a little less than normal and drinking a little more, well from jesterday to today I've lost half a kilo (a little more than one pound) is this normal? I didn't expected to lose half a kilo in a day just by eating a little less
How much kg do you weigh, and did you eat a lot of salt? That could be water weight you lost.
Robert Miller
You're cleaning the bad thoughts user, don't worry about it.
Asher Price
anyone tried shiratake noodles? Any good or disgusting shite?
Owen Lopez
When I started yesterday I weighted 78,4kg( 172,84 pounds) for, 1,72 m (5,6feet) of height, today I'm 77,9(171,74 pounds). Sorry in not comfortable whit the imperial sistem so I needed some times to convert the measurements
Cameron Cook
>Started doing the ephedrine/caffeine stack (I take 24g ephedrine/200g caffeine 2-3 times a day) So fucking easy to not want to eat when doing this. Still have enough energy to function properly.
>Used to hate cardio now started using stationary bike at gym while playing Hearthstone or phoneposting on Jow Forums while listening to a podcast Used to get extremely bored in 10 minutes. Now 30-40+ minutes goes by quickly.
No, I don't consume salt, I use pepperlings instead of salt
Zachary Perry
Nice. I only do about 3k a day.
Brayden Murphy
Boxing circuit is just a group of people doing boxing as cardio without really paying much attention to form beyond what's needed to not break your hands. A proper boxing class they should show you how to properly move around and take a punch. Basically if you're doing a boxing circuit, they'll run you until you can't hold your arms up anymore, and if you look like a tough guy, they'll pay special attention to you and make you do pushups between rounds instead of resting and stuff. You'll mostly be doing rounds of shadow boxing, punching bags with another guy on the other side punching back, or doing mitt work, taking turns holding the mitts. If it's a proper class, you'll start with that stuff, and then move on to footwork and sparring with the teacher paying closer attention to those sparring. Unless it's just a solo class of course, in which case the instructor will just make you combo a bag and sidestep imaginary punches until the time's up.
Jaxson Sanchez
I have to reiterate bros, do this shit. It will work for you as well. Im so happy im finally making progress
Landon Torres
Ok user you probably lost water weight, it's not actual fat but it's excess water that your body holds onto because you either don't drink enough water or you eat too much salt. You said you drank more so that's probably why. Keep it up!
Luke Mitchell
I binged on dominos yesterday and I’ve gained back all the weight I had lost I’m NGMI dude
I have to train today at the pool but I didnt bring lunch and I need to eat something cheap, what should I do? Is a banana and a yogurt enough?
Adrian Sanchez
>drugs ngmi
Luis Cox
Why user? I'm beginning to make it, it really works and it's destroying my food addiction / unhealthy relationship to food. It's like how people take medication to become and act normal then get used to being normal and can replicate it without medication.
Carter Fisher
yeah,add some oats or nuts in the yoghurt and you're golden
Andrew Adams
Where are you going for boxing?
Elijah Ross
I'm impulse buying more garbage than I used to still making phenomenal progress but getting so sloppy is hurting my confidence
>midway to the goal weight >simultaneously feel too fat, and too small >even tho i've bulked up and got some solid lifts What do? Cut 20 lbs more, or continue recomping with small weight loss. Started this about a year ago. Still a bit above 20% body fat
Josiah King
Keep cutting in my opinion. I've fallen into this meme far too much and i unironically cucked myself out of losing weight.
I made a new gym friend who is extremely shredded and I asked him for advice and he told me that you'll feel weak and small but that's just your brain cucking you into ruining your progress. I believe him and I won't stop cutting until I have visible abs.
Ryan King
And that's been my situation recently, I'm looking at myself and think "damn im dyel and not even lean worst of both worlds" but I'm consciously realizing it's a cope so I'm looking at my past pictures and seeing how much better i look than when fatter.
Logan Mitchell
Thank you bros
Ryder Ortiz
so bored of chicken and broccoli lads
Charles Lee
for something completely different try pork and spinach
I'm just one bro but yeah I've decided to finally commit to something in my life. I looked at my self in the mirror and made a sober analysis and made a goal and wrote it down. I am now fully committed to it, i think you were in a similar position as me ("yo-yoing" back and forth for a long time always being either kinda fat or really fat)
Henry Myers
pork sounds good but what are the calories like? i can't even remember the last time i ate it
looks fucking awesome
Michael Martin
pork loin is around 120 cal/21g protein per 100g.
Nathaniel Davis
Some cuts are lean as fuck.
Nicholas Murphy
will it rip my asshole apart ?
Noah Rogers
More like having 2 big yoyos between being skinnyfat and fat. Had a smaller one too, but that was easier to fix. It's always when life gets stressful. And the first half of last year was a long kick in the balls. This time i used that to my advantage, focused on lifting, got some nice muscle in the process, learned so much. Most importantly for the long haul, i've changed my relationship with food. Gonna do 3 months cut, one month maintenance, until abs. Pork tenderloins are great, and as for the cilli, from my own experience making it, might take a lot more to stir periodically. I got more recipes i found on an imgur album here. Tried out this one too.
Depends on how much pepper you put in there. I tried to make it not too spicy, and my friend that hates spicy food liked it. Another friend said, it hurt his ass, but only a little bit. I might make it spicier next time, because i like a bit of spice, but when making it i kept in mind all the people i wanted to invite over to try it. For this pic, sardines worked better for me than tuna (i made a 50/50 batch)
it's just cullnarily boring, the last bite is the same as the first with a decent meal there's some variety, pick your meat, your grains, your veg and savour each flavour imo of course
Brody Nguyen
Anyone here essentially eat the same thing everyday?
Samuel Flores
it's happening had to get beef mince instead of turkey though
Isaac Mitchell
Beef is alright, but turkey is leaner so you can eat more, and that's sorta the point.
Lucas Sanchez
yeah unfortunately turkey is really rare to see in my country
Hunter Robinson
I joined a gym last night. I forgot how great the burn feels. Did two and a half miles on an elliptical and a bunch of lifting for about an hour and a half. Gonna do it all again and maybe try intermittent fasting.
Ryan Martin
>start exercising so I can feel better about myself >Go for a run >Can only think about how stupid I look, how much I hate myself, how it's not worth improving myself I-it gets better, right guys?
Yeah. The more you run, the less you jiggle, which means the less you look like a fat boy running. Keep it up! PS- no one cares about how you look.
Gavin Torres
Yes bro it gets so much better. I used to be 290lbs and am now 200 and muscular and people treat me so differently. Try live with your parents or a friend for the next 2/3 months and concentrate solely on eating very little and walking for 3/4 hours a day. Don't run, it will exhaust you and make you want to eat. Just walk, and eat very little whilst drinking plenty of water and getting lots of sleep. It will fall off in no time. Love you husky bro x
Adrian Cook
>ate sugar for the first time in weeks >Heart is racing >Feel like I'm going to have a heart attack Ok it's not actually that bad but damn I can't believe I used to do this every single day
Grayson Bell
relativism I was gonna say tolerance but people might think I'm the carb=drug autist
Logan Murphy
Run at night and at least then people can't recognize you Inversely do what I used to do and buy the most obnoxious clothes possible for when you go out running. If you are going to look like a jackass may as well go the whole way. There's a perverse pleasure in having people look at you funny
>There's a perverse pleasure in having people look at you funny
This is the solution to worrying about what others think of your looks.
Nolan Rogers
Should I lift weights while I diet? I'm disgustingly obese (280) and looking to drop down to at least 215.
Owen Perez
If yo gained all the weight back from one meal it must not have been very much, right?
Elijah Diaz
yeah, lift 3x a week and also throw in cardio one hour 4-6x a week and the weight will melt of you
John Peterson
TELL ME IF I FUCKED UP I have been on a keto diet for a week and a half that usually leaves with me with some shitty salad for lunch while I'm out because everything is off limits and no restaraunt is friendly I'll Tl,Dr the rest and just say I went to a buffet and got one big plate of food Said food was all baked or grilled chicken, pork, collard greens, green beans, roasted jalapeños, etc
Did I fuck up? I can't count my calories at a place like this so I'm kind of panicking now, I ate "right" but it was a big plate of food and after eating so little normally I feel like I'm going to vomit
Asher Sanchez
ended up with 4 servings, 816 kcal each and 64g of protons the way i cooked it. if i did it again i'd definitely track down chicken or turkey mince, but it's pretty damn tasty. also i'm a terrible cook and didn't fuck it up so that's nice.
Won a trip to California in a month's time, need to lose as much weight as possible
Andrew Bell
>I've been dieting for 2 weeks and junk food is utterly revolting to me now, can't believe I ever liked it I dunno why but hearing this always pisses me off
Jack Carter
Best recipe for fatties: 1 gallon water
Aaron Morris
Buddy, you'll be fine. Just do a little extra cardio to drop back into ketosis. How many carbs do you usually eat per day?
Jeremiah Lopez
>collard greens, green beans, roasted jalapeños should be fine, everything you mentioned is relatively low carb and although 20g carb limit ensures ketosis for 99% of people there's a lot of people that can maintain ketosis up to 60g.
Dylan Richardson
5 months. 50lb. from 225lb to 175lb. Feels good, and it's strange that I never had to change what I eat really, just my habits. Could still eat fast food, could still have starbucks twice a week. Just had to make sure I only got one thing at fast food joints and didn't get something too sugary from Starbucks. Might go for another 15lb but might coast for a bit and see what happens.
I don't know, I am forbidden from eating legumes, gluten, dairy, sugar, most fruit, so next to none for some crash course nonsense a friend got me on
I mean it worked I lost another 10 pounds last week but goddamn it's restrictive tl,Dr no idea how many carbs I eat, though I manage around 800 calories per day, I know that
Should I be worried im not reaching my calories goal? It seems like so much to eat and I wanna lose weight, I don’t feel hungry at the end of the day or anything.
Hunter Baker
Idk Eat smart and if you think you've eaten a reasonable amount, call it done there. Don't keep stuffing your face until you reach your calorie goals
The exception to this is if you are lifting heavily and/or trying to reach a very specific desired weight/bfp where you need a specific caloric deficit per day to get the right physique Other than that, just do what feels natural, see your calories goal as more of a limit and less of a requirement
That's just me though
Jaxon Brooks
Oh, and obviously if you go over your calorie limit for some reason, perform the requisite fasting, self-flagellation, and confess to father in this thread of your sins so that you may be absolved to be able to eat food the day after next
The guy above is right Skip dinners and double your caloric deficit
Carter Wilson
Jump Rope. Bag Work. Running. Bodyweight exercises. Pad work Depending upon your coach it could be MIIT, or HIIT. When my lard ass started It was purely cardio and bodyweight exercises, along with typical boxing drills.
Liam Ross
You should do research into Keto and take your diet into your own hands my guy. I think its tough to not know why you're restricted and to not know what this diet is doing to your body. For instance, you'd know you arent fucked, or at least you'd have a grasp as to how fucked you are. It's alot of work but you get used to it once you start memorizing how much carbs and calories certain staple foods have. Ive done keto before with great results and I am in keto again
Adam Richardson
is it inconceivable that he has a better idea about what works for him than you do?
Jackson Nguyen
Went from a BMI of 32 to 23 in ~10 months. If I can give any of you starting guys advice it'd be to avoid putting yourself on the path that turned this cunt into a dicklet human table.
>5'6 165 down from 260 >Chest and shoulders looking nice >Gut and thighs a nightmarish hellscape of loose skin and fat that's only going to transform from fat to more loose skin
