Oh, father. Father forgive me for I have sinned. I made excuses to skip gym while my parents were here. Also a gout flare up chewed up another week. I've made great progress, but I need to stay focused. I'm going to get so lean and so strong this winter I can hardly wait. I'm planning on doing 48 hour fasts every week as soon as my parents shoo shoo back home.
Do your boners get less strong and more soft if you're fat? Can't tell if I have ED or high fat.

I can say with great certainty that my dick got firmer and bigger, and my loads where bigger and more forceful, before I got fat.
Nolan Johnson
Two things I'd like to contribute: #1: Give yourself a non-food reward for weight loss milestones. I treat myself to a cuban cigar for every 20lbs I lose. #2: If you are incorporating exercise into your weight loss, shave all body hair from areas where there is skin on skin contact. This will reduce chafing which will make it a more pleasant experience.

>5"11 271 Lost 30lbs in 7 weeks by switching to sugarless iced tea and going low carb with no junk food also walking a ton. Walked 10.5 miles yesterday and 6 today. Plan to start running around 250lbs. Definitely too self conscious to do it now because it would look funny. Would like to get a personal trainer for weight training but too poor.
Grayson Watson
I can't seem to drop these last 15lbs. I've been on a plateau for months.
I keep slipping up. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm so close.
I feel like such a fuck up. I work out but not enough. I eat veg and protein but then snack on bullshit. I don't want to be a fat ass but god I just can't get my shit together.
Also how tf do I get in 120g of protein on 1200 calories? I can't even usually manage the 84 minimum. Fuck me I'm so frustrated with myself.
Have you tried eating at maintenance for a week and then trying to eat at a deficient again?
Owen Taylor
Thanks user.
Bump.
Camden Richardson
Stop negotiating with yourself, dumbass
Kayden Wright
think about it like this, you maybe have one more month of very dedicated, low calorie dieting, and then you've made it to you goal weight. after putting in the effort you'll be able to let up and eat a little more, but of course not go back to eating a ton. get fucking through it and get to your goal weight. stop making excuses just to satisfy hunger cravings.
Jaxson Lopez
Bros so in can't do it too hungry nonstop hunger can hi u gotta eat
Anthony Gray
Is your hunger giving you a stroke
Michael Brooks
Hello fellow gouty user. Comforting to find someone else who’s got this bull shit and is also trying to cut weight. I’ve had to eat so much goddamn chicken and Greek yogurt to meet my protein goals since red meat flairs me up bad. Luckily since I’ve started allopurinol they barely come now, use to flair up every two or three months. Been almost two years now and down 60 lbs
Daniel Myers
I have giant jiggly moobs and a barrel for a waistline and I cannot comprehend having a perfectly flat torso. Soon I will need a crane to yank me out of my bed.
Joseph Richardson
I'm heading to Unos and I'm gonna eat two pizzas at once! I'm sorry!

We must understand that all of our eating patterns come out of habit. Un-learning how to eat like shit is more difficult than learning how to eat properly if you’ve never been overweight, but it IS possible. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with you, you’ve just picked up a bad habit. But that’s all, a habit. You got this!
We are ALL gonna make it! Grab a fucking bowl, fill it with water and ice and drink it using a spoon as if it were a soup. This will help with anxiety related e
I'm on a cream cracker diet where I eat ten cream crackers a day with chilli sauce, wish me luck lads
Aaron Lewis
>wish me luck lads with what exactly?
I hope you have the fortitude to eat crackers every day for some reason I guess...?
Oliver Robinson
Bros I'm not making it I'm 200 calories above my deficit it's over
Grayson Moore
it's only 8am godly breakfast or ridiculous deficit?
Samuel Adams
Guess I'll share somewhat of a victory. I've been busy this past week and pushing off an assignment that I need to write. Usually on nights I'm up playing catch up and writing assignments right before they are due I go into a frenzy of binge eating since I stay up too late. I expected this same feeling tonight, and sure enough, I got the urge to binge eat while procrastinating. I ended up trying to eat a lot of junk and microwaveable food, which in the past would lead to massive amounts of overeating, but after one small meal and a snack, I felt oddly disgusted and no longer wanting to binge, so I stopped.
I think my weight loss journey is definitely starting to introduce much healthier habits in my life now. I'm glad I feel like I don't have to go through with late night binges anymore.
The way that's working for me so far is to VERY gradually change my ways, the same way that got me here. Only losing about a pound a week on average but I'm comfortable.
My calorie budget for the day was 250 but I'm at 550+. Better than breaching 800, like yesterday.
Carson Moore
>250 for the day
Nigger you're going to be like a mega-coomer even with nofap. Either fast completely or use a reasonable deficit.
Chase Rodriguez
know what pisses me off more than it probably should? people who just step on an escalator and wait until it carries them to the top
it's a fucking staircase, it's CALLED an escalator, it's meant to escalate your ascent, not just elevate it, coz guess what, that's a fucking ELEVATOR. now get the FUCK out of my way, some of us have places to be and calories to burn.
Caleb Murphy
walk up the down escalator faggot
Aaron Foster
>roid rage you try scampering up the escalator with a dozen people in front of you.
Thomas Ramirez
I work in an office people where planetoids take the elevator DOWN from the 2nd floor
Its literally slower than just walking down the god damn steps
Jason Green
just noticed that christmas day is wednesday, which is my weigh-day and the end of my week, so I'll have the 6 days before to build up a deficit I can blow on turkey and gateux (then get full after half a plate and sleep it off all afternoon)
Zachary Kelly
>tfw ate 1000 calories and didn't even notice it or feel it I feel like crying. The human body is so stupid. Why don't we have 5000 calorie BMRs?
Justin Adams
eat less calorie dense food i dare you to eat 1000 calories of broccoli
Levi Green
reckon I could do that with some nutella and danish pastry but why would I do that
Joseph Carter
I ate a bowl of oatmeal, skim milk, scoop of protein powder and a handful of almonds
800 calories
what the actual fuck
Jordan Davis
you know you're on /fat/ right? putting calories on calories isn't smart
Camden Gomez
Somebody actually wrote that on their scale
William Rivera
thx bruv I don't want or need acclaim, hitting goal is reward enough
not that user but god damn sometimes it feels like it. youre literally denying your body the energy it needs to operate until it consumes its own mass, thats gonna lead to a little loopyness. i remember i used to literally fall asleep face down on my desk in highschool when i lost ~100 lbs in a year. it got to the point where my most dickhead teachers quit waking me up because i would go the fuck off on them with no regard for the rest of the class. 5 am workouts, straight to school, worked until 1030pm after. thats a long fuckin day i was killin it back then and lemme tell ya, months FLEW by.
Jose Wright
i just pictured a big roided up retard running up an escalator squeezing past grannies and mothers with their children and saying 'nogainz' as he passes each one
Josiah Lopez
Man whatever I'm not a small dog I'm a man sized human I need to fugging eat
Grayson Brooks
I'm starting to fail once again, brain fog is basically 24/7 these days and I can't study.
Maybe I should up my calories in a bit but I don't want to waste time.
I'm also considering going on maintanence for a month to stabilize my body but idk.
Gavin Ward
the only legitimate reason to do maintenance is because you hit your goal everything else is an excuse to pig out.
Connor Scott
I know you're right but fucking hell man, this shit is hard, I'm about to hit my wall.
Michael Taylor
you knew it wasn't gonna be a walk in the park (figuratively) some days will be better than others, you can't tap out every time things get a little rough, nothing will change that way
Michael Watson
lads i'm 12 lbs down.
my tits actually look bigger, though. I think I have legitimate gyno. fucking hell.
Jose Howard
He wouldn't squeeze past them, he would simply toss them aside. He's got the strength for it!
Logan Ortiz
What is your weekly workout schedule like ? Just up the cardio, so you can eat more. Also skip breakfast. Makes it easier to keep your deficit, represses appetite throughout the day and you'll have a cleat head before lunch.
Isaiah Butler
I swear to fuck I must have the weirdest body ever. I know these numbers are not accurate and I know I have a gut and bitch tits but still. I think I have impinged my hip doing squats as well so it's going to be upper body for the next six weeks with a massive de-load on squats and maybe DLs.
Lads, lost 50lbs, felt amazing, loved running, working out all my meals and going shopping looking at all my healthy food made me feel great, but recently I've lost the passion for exercise, used to run or bike every day now I've exercised about 5 times in 2 months, how can I get the enjoyment back? I've got about another 10lbs to go
Nolan Thompson
What is so weird about these numbers other than the stupid weight unit? What's your height?
Isaiah Morris
>and spelled beautiful wrong, but still uploaded it to instragram for those precious likes

Just ate 0,5 kg cheese cake and two egg sandwiches and down it with a soda.
Did it in 5minutes.
Cooking 1kg spicy meatloaf right now.
Brody Adams
Set fitness goals. Either strength or cardio. In your case it's probably running. Look up local 5k-10k runs, run them and decide if you want to commit to this hobby.
Brody Miller
This is the thread dedicated to losing fat, not gaining it.
Robert Carter
I go to gym 3x week, cardio 5x week 3 of those are progression. I already do IF, without considering any excercise I eat at a 500 kcal deficit, been losing 1kg a week basically.
Angel Torres
have a treat day then get back to it, or youll just give up entirely.
Elijah Sullivan
Can anyone explain why there can be a weight gain of 3 to 4 pounds from one day of being in a caloric surplus of like +1000 calories. It is a lot of calories, but is it really enough to fluctuate your weight gain within up to 4 pounds? What's going on?
The you are in the same situation as I am. Cutting is shit and you have to fight though it.
Luis Williams
macros affect your physiology for instance, for every gram of carbohydrate you consume, you retain an additional 4 grams of water
Mason Barnes
Reeee I need to touch her
Robert Barnes
We're all idiots for cutting without drugs, why suffer needlessly when you can take stuff to help you cmon fucks I'm sure there's something stronger and more effective than the ECA stack. No cocaine obviously
You're losing weight to save your health, don't fuck it up more than before
Henry Wilson
Today is the day I transition off of keto and maintain a strict CICO diet for a while, whilst I get used to re-eating carbs. I had some toast for lunch and I missed bread so much. I have my meals for the next 2-3 weeks planned. I bought myself some treats to spread out over 2 weeks, as a test of my willpower when they are there as well as treating myself for staying on Keto for a year. If I cave in, I'll just not buy any next time. If I can go from 150kg > 79kg in 11 months on diet alone with no exercise, you can lose the weight you want to lose.
Nathan Gomez
I'm getting noticeably sloppy with my counting A dash of milk in my coffee here, unaccounted margarine there, the odd biscuit or boiled sweet. I never planned to be 100% rigid forever, but this shits gonna bite me on the ass eventually, and by then it'll be harder to stop.
Jose Gonzalez
Just fast bro
Jack Ward
report here after a while, I'm also on keto and plan to slowly reintroduce carbs when I hit my goal weight(but still remain more or less low carb) so I want to see what the experience is. Good luck user!
Cooper Taylor
I need to stop being lazy I could easily just not bother eating or recording but that's a step backwards
Liam Sanchez
Holy fuck how are you alive? Seriously your insulin spike should make you throw up. If i ate that id have the biggest bitch tits around, kinda jealous.
Kayden Ortiz
Sounds lovely, much better than eating out. Dont worry about the sauce, im assuming you used low sugar sauce
Lucas James
Will do, user. I am expecting to gain 5 or so pounds of water weight over the next week or so, but I know I'm still eating at a calorie deficit so I'm not gaining bodyfat.
Leo Bell
>gout
Wtf are you ok? How old are you
Bentley Richardson
are low calorie rice/corn cakes bad?
I eat them cause they're really low calorie, but then I never want to stop eating cause they're void of anything nutritional.
Oliver Carter
Never been fat, but after exercise my dick is like the great wall of china.
Jacob Long
Okay, I'm always sceptical of calorie trackers but my phone says I've burned almost 300 calories which is crazy. It must be wrong, right? But by how much?
For reference, I went hiking, ran around in the mountains for 7 hours, about 2-4 of those uphill, sometimes pretty steep. Also lots of stairs.
Do I need to worry about the insulin spike (regarding weight loss) if I’m doing intermittent fasting? My window is 10 hours so I’m wondering if I should just switch to small meals every 3 hr
Aaron Watson
Don't eat something you can't stop eating.
Robert Jenkins
what is your height and what was your calorie intake? I've lost 30 kg in 3 months with exercise, keto and 1600 cal limit, I'm 174
Brayden Gutierrez
174 cm that is
Ayden Cooper
worry about what exactly? insulin doesn't conjure calories from nothing, so probably not
Blake Hill
Water weight is such a cunt. Really fucks with my autistic desire to see linear predictable falls. I know my calories are right so I know things are fine but the number does put doubt into the mind where it was not before.
what was your initial weight? im 173 cm 91kg, i want to get to december with 75kg. think its possible?
Carter Morris
147kg. Exercise was an hour of indoor bike cycling. Two months for 16 kg? Hmm I think at your weight it'll be pretty hard, the fatter you are it's easier losing weight, that's why you see those ham planets on my 600lb life losing 25 kg in a month if they listen to the based doctor. Keto gets rid of excess water so you'll probably experience a sudden loss of about 2-5 kg but after that it's mostly the same like regular CICO but easier because keto suppresses hunger(at least it did for me). Try it out fr a couple of weeks, maybe it helps you.
