when did your weight loss journey stopped being a struggle and just became a part of daily routine? Or is it still a giant pain to make yourself eat less and exercise more? For me it was after losing around 15 kg, the appetite was diminished and I developed the mental and physical strength to push on
Henry Nguyen
When I told myself I either do this now or I will die. I mean I was going on 400lbs as a fucking 5'8 person. I don't know what happened but I literally had my first anxiety attack and from that day onwards I have not faltered in my diet and I will never see 3 in the front of my weight ever again.
Jonathan Campbell
5 months for me I think, I'm done now, discovered at BMI 24 that I have loose skin (actually naturally buff farmer genetics) so I've stopped losing weight. Don't wanna waste money on surgery so I am now bulking, I have to fill out this fucking skin motherfucker. Pic related.
When I stoppes defining it as losing weight, and started thinking about gaining health. Then I exercised to feel good, ate healthy food that made me feel good, stoppes eating shit processed food, stopping weighing myself and my weight decreased easily and naturally
Kevin Kelly
you're gonna make it
Jacob Edwards
I had the same epiphany after a health check-up. Pre-diabetic at age 32 is fun stuff... now healthy weight and I know what awaits me if I lose sight of what's important.
Aaron Murphy
Yep just turned 32 as well. I have a 6 year old for fucks sake, I need to be out there with my son and doing shit outside with him instead of thinking every anxiety attack is a heart attack (the anxiety attacks have almost all stopped since I lost about 100lbs since april).
Kevin Powell
Then good luck my friend. Just track everything that goes in your mouth and remember there is no easy way out.
>Sonic was selling chili dogs for only a dollar today >decide to go get some on the way home instead of go to the gym >almost there start to realize my mistake >imagine My 600lb. Life and other negative inspiration >fuck this, I'm not giving up this easily At the gym now about to get started for the night. What's your negative inspiration?
It's still a daily struggle. But it kinda makes sense for it to be a struggle, I'm not gonna suddenly undo 24 years of abusing my body in just 3 years. Maybe once I've maintained for 5+ years it will be easier. But it's still a struggle.
Anthony Myers
Can I drink if I'm still meeting my caloric intake goals? And do those slimmer belts work?
Carter Scott

Nolan Watson
Yes and no. Is it lager/ales/beer you are drinking?
Juan Foster
I skipped gym for a whole month and drink boba tea full of sugar in that same month.
Lincoln Reyes
>What's your negative inspiration? If I fail on any given day I tell myself that I'm now two days behind (the day I gave in to temptation and the day before). That's two days of my life gone because I thought Papa Johns would be ok.
Thomas James
Either Busch Lite or Canadian Hunter Whiskey. Depends on how I'm feeling.
Anthony Torres
Remind myself how much I fucking hate being fat
Jayden Rodriguez
>Other 30+ posters That makes me feel less alone. The turning point for me was not being able to keep up with my 4 year old and almost 2 year old. I've somehow managed to skirt by without any major medical issues (no diabetes, cholesterol, or elevated blood pressure), but I know I'm a ticking time bomb if I don't get under control.
When should I start bulking? I want to bulk soon like October or November. Or should I start sooner? I want to get stronger already. Or should I lose a couple more pounds?
I quit drinking when the hangovers got too fierce (can't do the time don't do the crime) so I don't know much about booze except that if you partake in it, neat vodka is the way to go calories wise.
Oliver Gutierrez
Between now and October you should lose those two pounds, right? Do a clean bulk October 1st.
Jonathan Robinson
hell yeah. meal prep, cardio, and lifting. thanks for the advice bro. this is going to be easy
Parker Mitchell
Good stuff m8 and well done getting to where you wanted to be. If you have difficulty with a clean bulk then just add in 5 tablespoons of peanut butter throughout the day plus maintenance.
Josiah Campbell

Some setbacks are longer than others. Don't beat yourself up too much over the past. Set yourself up for going forward.
Liam Campbell
i always thought i became fat because i was lazy
its the other way around
you overeat,become fat then you turn into a lazy fuck because you can't do anything even if you try.
being fat makes you lazy, being lazy does not make you fat. if you become fat its over for you dont over eat ever
>go on a 2 days work trip that coincides with bday >walk, have a round at the pool for a short while the day afterwards >but eat, "trip eat", restaurant/FastFood/local cuisine that happens to be Mozzarella >still on the lower end of the Kg I am suppose to be to lose Well this is all quite silly. Considering I hadn't had a lot of time to exercise the days before too, meaning that I did exercise but not a lot. I think I am going to make it to 169 before Mid October if I manage it better.
David Morales
what are some good replacements for sandwiches? I hate eating cooked meals before evening so I normally eat sandwiches for lunch, but fuck bread while trying to lose weight.
But I can't comment on that as I haven't really tried it myself, I understand that bread can have a lot of calories, I had some with 110 a piece, another for sweet things that was 225, again per slice.
What if you made yourself pizza? Even without yeast if you want it very fast, that way you can know what goes into it and how much and make it very thin. Mixer: Flour, salt, add water slowly until it all comes together and the machine stops, maybe add yeast if you have time to let it levitate but then you got add a teaspoon of sugar to make it levitate faster. Grab a chunk, roll pin, cook, over the pan with a touch of olive oil, on a microwave, in the oven, until it reaches the desidered consistency and you are done.

I was running errands all day yesterday and ate two chicken curry samosas even though I don't know their nutrient profile so I can't tell if I overate or not

Went bowling for mixed league last night, do every thursday, my average was 116.
There's an autistic kid who bowls in my league who throws almost 20 mph, shit's insane. He wore a kh3 shirt and had a keyblade umbrella that looked cool, but it wasn't raining. It's like a truck hitting the pins, he doesn't hook the ball or anything but damn.
Today is my last day on the farm before getting laid off, for the next 2 months I'll be getting unemployment and working at max 2 days a week. I have to join a gym monday so I don't lose my gains, I'm nervous about it.
talking about health and fitness, fine with me taking about your fucking bowling team, you're in the wrong place
Alexander Kelly
I'm down 20lbs! I still have a long way to go but I'm making good progress. I would never have been able to do it without you guys. We're all going to make it.

Is eating raw garlic doing anything for me or is this a meme?
Kevin Allen
It's good for your heart? I suppose eating something so rancid must be character building as well.
Cooper Walker
Its good for testosterone, right?
Parker Scott
This. The scaled has not moved for me in 2 months but my cardio endurance has tripled and I can see my face thinning out. Now I only weigh myself once a week and make sure that I can run and train harder week after week.
Lincoln Reyes
How much have you lost to get loose skin?
Jayden Nguyen
It's just a meme. Think about it, why on earth would raw garlic affect your hormone levels?
Nolan Mitchell
happy for you lad, godspeed

Fuck it, you're right. Me punishing myself severely will only lead to an unhealthier relationship with food. I'm going to resume today as normal. There have been so many times where i binged, tried to fast, and just gave up halfway through and ate even more after that.
James Brown
It's never not a struggle. As soon as I relax I start to gain.

Nothing specific, but I'm hiking a mountain in 2 weeks that I couldn't finish a few years ago. It's a 10 mile hike, the trail is pretty steep and the peak is 12,000ft.
A-am I ready /fat/? 45lbs lighter now. Maybe I'll put down a flag or something for /fat/ if I make it
Easton Foster
>I am Emperor retard Depends if you got fries and drink. Big double whopper with maybe tomato and no cheese is a fucking dream (as plain as possible). If you want to treat yourself keep the bun otherwise throw them at the seagulls.

what was your starting weight? Plant a little flag, it will be a nice memory and a reminder that you've made it in a way.

I have skipped both workouts this week. Forgive me, faddah.
Asher Johnson
>both The week has seven days son.
Landon Jenkins
Starting weight was 209-210lbs, just weighed myself today at 165lbs. I think I was around 185-190ish when I first attempted the hike a few years ago. Felt like I was gonna die hiking it then, hopefully I can make it up.
Lifting is no longer a struggle. The last time I missed more than 1 day (not including my 2 rest days/week) was when I got pneumonia and that set me back a lot. I am now a "healthy" BMI, but eating is a daily struggle and I still want to lose 10-20 pounds to be aesthetic. I can do well all day and completely lose it and binge at the end.
Henry Hughes
Why do people even eat carbs? They're not even tasty, mostly bland. Most of the time you need to eat it with something else just to have some taste, why not just eat those something else without the carbs?
Parker Cook
if carbs weren't tasty I wouldn't be fat.
I fucking love carbs
Brayden Johnson
You're going to make it bro. It's amazing that even with that big deficit you took 6 days to go below 110.8kg.
I started almost the same day as you (02/09/19), started with 80.4kg, 77.2kg this monday and was feeling bad that was only 77kg today, but I guess this variation is normal. We're going to make it!
Joseph Myers
Cheap. Can't afford to eat meat and veggies all the time.
>shitty chinesium gaymur chair just broke on me >weld popped off I'm not even that fat. I want a nice chair but don't want to spend literal thousands. I never liked my shitty gaymur chair for anything other than being able to recline and have a head rest. I'd lean back with a pillow and blanket in it and watch some tv and movies it was pretty comfy. I don't want to lose this feature, tempted to buy a ~$400 gaymur chair but what else should I be looking at?
Seems like it's mostly premium office style ergonomics stuff without head rests or good reclining features, or a gaymur chair, or a cheap IKEA Markus which looks like it has a bad seat cushion.
Any /fat/ approved office chairs under $400?
Alexander Jenkins
I started doing negative chinups a week ago and I'm seeing progress

I use an OpSeat Grandmaster. A lot of gamer/office chairs are dropshipped tho and are the same shit no matter who you buy from.

If you want to keep drinking, yet not consume so many calories, here’s my advice: switch drinks. - If you’re drinking liquor, vodka, tequila, and rum are your best bets. Avoid anything “spiced” or “flavored”; they’re adding sugar which adds calories. Best if you do shots or drink it neat. Chasers and mixers are where the calories especially get added in. Go with the Zero soda options. Don’t ask me why, but I’ve noticed Diet Coke tastes worse in a rum & Coke than Coke Zero. Find healthier versions of mixers or chasers you’d usually use. - if you’re drinking beer, you’ll be better off with polders and ales, as well as a few Belgians. You don’t have to reach for Michelin Ultra. Looks for beers with less carbs; they’re out there. Also, try a dry cider. Dry, Not a sweet one or flavored. Again, sweeteners or flavorings add sugar which adds calories. There’s also other options such as Whiteclaw Or the alcoholic seltzers. Also, if you intend on getting drunk/hammered, don’t eat before you drink. It’ll hit you harder on an empty stomach.

Not much to say today. I saw one GigaStacey yesterday on my usual walk and a few Staceys today, which was demoralising.
If I made even £50k, I could save lots of money each montj. I feel bad for not having even £30k in the bank. Not even £10k. I worry that my meek ugly beta charismaless nature dooms me to not even getting to middle management. People in the UK truly find people like me repulsive. If I worked minimum wage while living with my parents, I'd save much more than what I will save from my next job.
I felt bad when reading the pop-his book because I don't even have the patience to write something like that. I don't have any intense interest in any period of history.
I thought about seeing Ad Astra but I feel pathetic for giving rich Hollywood people living in paradise my money unless it's tip top kino.
