>>76280918
>Spot reduction ain't a thing
it actually is according to a recent study, but it requires lots and lots of moderate-intensity exercise involving the muscles next to the area.
With back fat I guess swimming (back stroke or butterfly) would be the most appropriate.

>>76280923
Tell that to my scale.

don't attack the fasttards. The lack of dietary management causes their body to all the protein in their body. It leaves the brain and hormones so fucked up they can't think properly. Just let them get sick or skinnyfat and die early.

Lmao

I'm 120lbs down and feel fatter than ever. I hate my body and even after a small meal my brain tells me my stomach is huge and I'm just as fat as ever. Anyone else know this feel?

Why do the stinkiest farts feel extra hot coming out my butthole? Is it because there's more poo particles present and therefore it is a more dense gas and thus a body temperature fart feels hotter? Like a fart version of wind chill, except opposite? When I get a hot one coming through, I need to call a fucking priest to exorcise the scent from the room, fuck almighty.

>>76281202

>>76281151
Mon ami, you need to change your attitude towards what is a meal.
Lean protein, colourful vegetables, lots of green. Whole grain carbs and not too much fats. Fiber, water.

My waist is at an all time low though my weight isnt.
Does my scale just not work properly or is it something else?

>>76281257
are you a woman?

Is Fatty Contest broken or something? The latest date there is 5/26.

>>76281267
What kinda question is that? No im not
I check my waist cause of the navy method.
So can anyone answer my question?

>>76281257
Are you exercising? Probably gaining muscle and losing fat.

>>76281280
>navy method
so according to the navy method you now have a lower body fat percentage. Why even pose the question, then?
You may have built muscle if you've been working out. Or it may just be some water retention due to sodium, carbs or creatine.

>>76281271
yes, due to the 4chan downtime

>>76281308
but shouldn't water show in the belly? My waist got thinner
I mean that was my first thought, water retention
According to navy method im only at 27% BF. Couple of more cm down on waist and i wont be overweight, yay

>>76281202
no, I greatly enjoy fitting into smaller and tighter clothes every month

>>76281324
>but shouldn't water show in the belly?
if it's due to glycogen/carbs, the water will be distributed across all your muscles. If it's due to sodium, it'll go into every cell on your body, like even your eyeballs will be slightly more heavy.

>>76281353
Dunno, i do intake a lot of salt, though i didnt yesterday. Also, i eat a fair amount of carbs everyday

>>76281357
how much weight are we even talking here? If it's less than 5 lbs you're obsessing over nothing, fluctuations are normal.

>>76281365
Well im not obsessing over it, i just thought if my waist went to record low, my weight should too. Doesnt matter, its like 2lbs difference

>>76281342
I put on an old shirt yesterday. How shit I must've looked when I fully filled that thing. Also just putting my belt in the old notches and imagining filling up the empty space with fat, it's completely insane.

Jokes on him i dont talk to women irregardless of my weight

>>76281494
I think that part of the reason I'm anxious around women is that I'm not confident in myself and that me being fat is one of the causes of that. By losing weight, I'm more confident and perhaps better at talking to women.

There probably are other factors causing my anxiety, but I believe that by having a nice appearance, things will get easier.

>>76281516
>irregardless
I can see why.

>>76281517
It worked for me. Guess that's half a psychological issue on my side, feeling confident, and half that I genuinely look better with less weight.

so hungry...

Did my morning 10k steps, the digivice only counted 8029 steps but I managed to digivolve my patamon into angemon during the walk. Anon was right this thing is massively overpriced but its just something to do to make the daily walks less boring. It does make me kinda desire something with more stats to play around with, that wouldn't require me to stop on the spot to battle but more like you do your steps and then you fiddle around with it when you get home.

>>76281554
Try a nice Pot Roast Dinner. Start by putting a nice layer of Garlic-Rosemary Mashed Potatoes with some green onions, then ladle some gravy and braising vegetables on top, and then finally top it off with some of that nice pot roast.

>>76281548
Yes, the looks gains must help a lot as well. Most women either ignore me or look at me with disgust and I'm sure that I'll be perceived better after I lose a lot of fat.

>>76281211
>>2000kc daily, 120g of protein

isn't this kinda high for your weight? basically all of your deficit is going to come from the exercise. remember that you need a 500kcal daily deficit to lose 0.5kg/week

Good morning, frens. Stay strong.

Fucking finally I'm starting to lose weight again, been stuck on this platue (102 kg)for nearly 3 fucking weeks.

In the mean time I've been excersising quite a bit and have become quite serious about jogging. Turns out if you make it a habit It's quite fun. Been able to jog a comfortable 10k with stretches of easy walking in between with regularity. My legs feel quite a bit more difined, so maybe the platue was because I built some muscles in them?

I will probably have to start eating less sooner or later if I want to maintain the weight loss, which is gonna suck, but it must happen.

Wagmi, bros.

>>76281644
Hello Ur-o.

>>76281202
Yeah. 75lbs down and looking at myself I feel like I haven't changed at all despite going from a 4XL to an M. That's why I'm glad I took photos at my fattest because I wouldn't believe the difference otherwise.

>-1.5kg weight
>-1cm neck
>+2cm waist
what the fuck

So fattybaddybumbaladi here. 180.9kg 179.7cm.
Been doing gym + bike -> 7k steps -> gym + bike -> 7k steps -> rest -> repeat. Eating 2.1k kcal around 150g protein. I can fall a sleep okayish but even with 8h sleep I feel super tired waking up, even if I add 2h more sleep still mega tired. Is this normal? Something to get used to.

>>76281735
2cm is probably <2% difference compared to your previous measurement, well with in the margin of error.

Today I’m going for a 3 hr walk. I’m a NEET by the way

Took a break from dieting when my dad came to visit - I didn't eat badly, just stopped tracking my cals, luckily didn't gain any weight from it, but I gotta keep going!
Currently 92kg, 171cm f, how much weight can I lose in 2 weeks?

>>76281722
>75lbs
>4xl to m
No way

>>76281771
You're in a really big deficit with those stats. You can probably take it, since you have plenty of fat to draw energy from, but it's unsurprising you're tired. I feel the same when I'm on a >1000 cal deficit.
You might want to get a few (!) extra carbs for a few days and see how you feel.

>>76281818
Yep, I did prefer baggier clothing to be fair. One thing I've noticed is that I can wear new M shirts but my Dad's old M stuff from 10ish years ago is still quite tight, I'm guessing all sizes have gone up. My waist hasn't dropped much in comparison, from 42 to a 38.

>>76280823 (OP)
Opinions about only eating tomatoes every day until I lose 10kg?

>>76281862
You'll reach a point were you will crash out, binge and the thought of tomatoes will make you vomit for the rest of your live. Tomatoes are too tasty to deserve this treatment.

>>76281862
My opinion is that you're retarded.
t. tried the same with boiled potatoes

>>76281151
Fuck potatoes. Buy 1 kilogram of prosciutto and eat that instead.
Tastes much better than duck and you'll still be in a calorie deficit.

>>76281862
Eat half kilo of chicken and some non-starchy veggies on the side and you're good to go

Eat your salads you fat fucks

>>76281868
>Tomatoes are too tasty
That's exactly why I picked them out of all the vegetables ;)
>>76281871
Except boiled potatoes are fucking disgusting so I can see why it didn't work.

Anyway I'm gonna do 3-4 days of this, lock in my gains and do the regular chicken breast/ salad meme diet everyone does

>>76281883
Retard

>>76281877
Noted. It's time to lose weight lardasses... let's goooooooo

>>76281883
>chicken breast/ salad meme diet
Except it's not a meme, it just works. You can also use turkey breast, tuna, prawns, lean beef, VERY lean and carefully cleaned pork.

>>76281889
Rude.
I was gonna eat some lean meat today but since you decided to be a faggot I'll only eat tomatoes just to spite you.
>>76281895
Does prosciutto work?

>>76281868
Just fucking count your god damn calories, you can eat what ever the fuck you want if you just eat at a deficit, want McDonald's? Then thats all you can eat that day, but still possible to lose weight. Yes people will get mad at this post, worried about this number or that stat, it just comes down to CICO and if you have the discipline to eat tomatoes everyday exclusively (you don't) eating at a deficit should be easy af.

>>76281903
>prosciutto
Similar in protein, but a little more calories and a lot more fat, a lot of salt too. Wouldn't recommend as a main dish, but you can add a bit if you want.

>>76281908
With McDonald's you can lose weight but your stomach will be empty for most of the day as one meal will probably give you 1500 kcal easily. Then you'll be trapped doing intermittent fasting until the next meal basically.

Tomato schizo is ngmi

>>76281908
>>76281928
Also your macros (and micros for that matter) are gonna be fucked if you just eat McDonalds. It's not quite as simple as just CICO.

Ate like 500kcal today and the day is almost over. Guess the tomato diet isn't that much of a meme huh?
Maybe I'm under the weather cause I have little appetite, will abuse this tho to eat as little as possible.

I stopped losing weight for a week, but my neck and thighs lost a few cm of size each while my waist is just as fat as it was a week or so ago. Does it mean i gained more muscle mass than i lost fat or something? I'm still at a calorie deficit

Maybe the trick to losing weight is to always have a cold/flu.

>>76280823 (OP)
Fuck you guys I VILL lose 10 kg by doing stupid diets I made up the day before.
The problem will be maintaining that, but in this moment I am euphoric.

>>76281937
>macros
Honestly, as long as you aren't over eating in total daily calories, and get at least 50ish grams of protein and 100ish grams of carbs each day Macros don't really matter all that much. Yes, if you are trying to maximize muscle gain getting all the way up to about 1.5 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass can help, but that really only matters to a tiny percentage of people. For the 98% plus of folks who either want to maintain a healthy weight, or get to a healthy weight it isn't a big deal.
>micronutrients
This is honestly much more important than people realize. For purposes of micronutrients I consider getting adequate Omega 3 fats as micro nutrients. A lot of this can be managed by eating a big leafy green salad (so a bunch of spinach and/or kale added plus other veggies) with some ground flax seed, and other incidental veggies each day.

Wait a second I just realized, last few days I smoked a lot more than usual which very little.
Don't tell me this is the nicotine acting as an appetite suppressor.

>>76281908
Cico is the main rule and if you break it you're ngmi, but don't underestimate the positives of good food. Yeah you could lose weight eating McDonalds but you could also do that with healthy, nutrious food. You would want to eat better food for mood and hormonal purposes, aswell as satiety and all the good micros found in good food. Also what on Earth do you think will happen to the guy that will lose weight by exclusively eating fastfood when he stops dieting? He'll continue eating fastfood, and he'll be dissapointed that the amount he can eat extra to maintain his new eight will be very limited.

>>76281992
>50grams of protein
>100g of carbs
Lmao

>>76281928
Not unless you juat make it your last meal of the day, drink a lot of water with it and return to your normal diet the next day. Losing weight is all about discipline anyway, so if you cant hold back eating, you'll always have issues, and part of developing a better relationship with food is knowing you can eat shit food without going overboard
>>76281937

How do you guys deal with buying clothes in between your start/goal weight? I'm sick of trying to keep wearing my fat clothes. I've mostly been getting stuff from the thrift store but it looks so old and frumpy, and the stores here don't even let you try things on.

She definitely browses this general as she knows of my blood sugar technique. tell her you know her from fat gen

I'm so lonely. Being fat is a curse.

>>76283114
5'9, basically just aiming for under 170
Here's torso, like ~380 first progress pic but started at 410. 16 months, went fast as hell
Second pic is 192 a week ago I think but I'm down to 188 this morning

The stretchmarks and gut flap I can take, the giant wrinkled tit bags still puffed out with fat are kinda fucking me up. I knew it was gonna be the case, always had gigamoobs
Guess all I can do is see if getting lean flattens them down to empty and I feel less shit that way. But lean at 5'9 with barely some beginner gains is gonna be lower than 170 so no concrete goal yet really, I guess. Committing to titty surgery seems intense as hell too so idk about that

>>76283197
I literally need to keep my blood sugar up with carbs deep into a diet or I nearly pass out. I always make sure to have a lollipop after a workout if I dont get to eat immediately after.

>>76283231
Retard, you understand nothing.

>>76283237
I got my bloodwork done and it shows as slightly below range for blood sugar.

>>76283171
Same here, 22 BMI and I still feel pudgy as fuck. And I'm 195cm/6'5, so the BMI is already relatively higher than for shorter people.
Guess I'll try and go down to like a 20 BMI and then eat the new maintenance and lift heavy.
>>76283209
Well, you're on the right track with the weight at least, I assume. Plenty of fat people with friends though, so that seems more like a you issue. Try and make some social gains during the journey too.

>>76283222
Dude, you already clocked some crazy weight loss, and clearly have the discipline to achieve your goals.
You already extended your life by decades and increased your life quality massively. Fucking congrats.

And I can imagine the skin issues are hard to accept. You lost a lot in a short time, this won't be how you look forever. Go down a bit more, make some muscle gains and see where you are at in 6-10 months. You might then want some surgery or not, but you won't be in this middle stadium anymore.

>>76283231
>I literally need to keep my blood sugar up with carbs deep into a diet or I nearly pass out. I always make sure to have a lollipop after a workout if I dont get to eat immediately after.
Of course I copied your technique with my sharingan

>>76283237
you understand nothing at all you fatty. As long as he doesn't eat high fat AND high sugar, it's basically like eating plain carbs but refuels you faster.

>>76283290
My diet is typically low fat, high protein and high carb. With most carbs coming from fruits and vegetables like beans.

reminder that if you just ate or are hungrier than usual, it's probably a deficiency.

>my fatboy shorts are so close to falling straight off when I button it up
>the pink short sleeve I wore last summer that was tight as fuck is now one size too big

The euphoria at this stage is unmatched

>>76283290
>but refuels you faster
which is not a good thing
a high spike in blood sugar is not good for your arteries

Today I felt like eating something different, so I tried the Wendy's Taki meal.
The lemonade was good, but the rest (i.e. the actual meal) was so bad I couldn’t even finish it.
1.5 out of 4 stars for the idea and the drink. I recommend it to my fellow dieters, if you want to stay well below your TDEE.

>>76283391
Having quick acting carbs like oatmeal before a workout is a good thing. Also a 45 calorie lollipop in a pinch isnt gonna kill you. I workout a lot so a high carb diet works well for me.

my bp has been 100/60ish for the past month or so, realized that I had reduced my sodium a lot, maybe too much. Gonna start having some soup for lunch to see if that does anything.

>>76283036
mcdonalds is the only fast food that consistently makes me feel sick
it's poison

>>76283374
i guess i have prosperous deficiency then

>>76283374

You almost got me

Man I love diet soda. Coke Zero has been my saving grace this week.

>>76283417
There's no such thing as a blood pressure that's too low, unless you're actively fainting

>>76283488
true, but I remember reading that if your dia bp is below 70 or in the 60 it increase the risk for heart disease or heart failure. will talk to my gp next time I go.

Take the walking and eating a big leafy green salad with Flax Seed every dinner pill anon.

Almost 3 weeks sober for health reasons but my stress and anxiety are through the roof. I can feel my mind obsessing over the dumbest shit and spiraling. I just need a break. Might grab some brewskis on the way home. NGMI

That's the sign you're doing it. Almost over the hump now. Skip the brewskis, anon. You can do it.

Piggybacking off this, you can probably get it done a lot cheaper in Mexico or some shit. Start saving up if you can. Could’ve made an tiktok/Instagram account detailing your weight loss journey, probably could’ve made some cash off that. Maybe not too late either

good move with the salad. what all do you put in the salad and what sort of dressing do you like? I find that those pre-bagged salads are depressing as fuck

>>76283569
nice digits anon don't do it!!!!

Do you guys think a year (like, exactly 12 months) is enough time to go from 260 to ~180 and having a good amount of muscle?

Assuming I don't treat the gym like a job and just go like a normal person

>>76283591
>I find that those pre-bagged salads are depressing as fuck
I actually rotate different types of bagged salads to get variety. Though for each bagged salad I always add a bunch raw spinach and arugula, then whatever dressing it comes with plus a bunch of ground flax seed. Then I also cut up some raw onion, cucumber, tomato, and avocado to add to it. I frequently will also add dried cranberries or blueberries, and sometimes walnut pieces. I keep bleu cheese dressing as well as a sweet lemon poppy dressing so I can have a savory and sweet option if I feel the salad needs a bit more dressing.

>>76283222
Dude your goal weight is not 170
It should be 150 so you're still far off

>>76283602
A motivated individual can lose about 10lbs of fat per month.

Cut both in half if you're trying to do them at the same time.

I dunno. I’ve always drank, but it really got out of control because somehow I got bed bugs (I work in healthcare) and it absolutely wrecked my mental health. I couldn’t sleep at all because I was mortified constantly. Had to drink and smoke myself to pass out. It’s been several months but now all I do is obsess over every single blemish, itch, or pimple. I was out in the sun all last weekend and I think I got some sweat pimples or whatever but my brain won’t accept that, is convinced they’re back, and is driving me insane. Even tho they don’t really resemble the bites I had before, my mind just can’t relax about it and I just wanna get smashed so I can sleep again. Idk man. It’s fucking horrible, hope no one has to deal with bed bugs. It has ruined my life. I’m a very clean person and always kept a tight ship so it’s just fucking brutal

>>76283602
well I started at ~260 and only 6 months have passed but I'm already ~180 so yeah definitely possible
just use the next 6 months to get ripped

>>76283602
yeah I think just getting 2 whole body resistance training session per week each one being maybe an hour and half is enough to get some great results. Start right away though no sense waiting until you drop a certain amount of weight. And dropping 80 pounds in 12 months is totally doable. That is less than 7 pounds a month.

>>76283615
why would they go down if you're doing both? as long as you're hitting your protein intake correctly while staying at TDEE - ~750 or so, shouldn't you gain muscle at a normal amount?

>>76283569
Don't do it you stupid faggot

>>76283587
Yeah fat literally converts testosterone into estrogen, less T = less body hair. It also affects your scalp hair; I used to work with 2 twins who were both going bald, but one was quite a bit fatter and significantly less bald

>>76283527
i am very walking pilled

I got some chocolate praline candies from a coworker (it would've been very rude to say no). No idea how many calories in them, but each piece is just 7g. Surely nothing too bad will happen if I eat just 1 per day while eating at TDEE-500 otherwise? I get that I won't lose weight as fast, maybe I'll take some carbs off some of the portions instead.

>>76283677
Pralines are high in fat because it's basically just chocolate/white chocolate.

what the fuck is this shit? i eat less than 1800 calories a day (typically between 1400-1600) how do i start losing weight again? i generally feel a lot better physically and have noticed i've gained some muscle but there's no way i gained the same weight in muscle that i would've lost in fat these last two months. i'm going to continue calorie counting and exercising but not having lost weight these last two months is really killing my motivation please help

>>76283798
>what the fuck is this shit? i eat less than 1800 calories a day (typically between 1400-1600)
Try again anon, be honest this time

>>76283798
Yeah it sounds unlikely that you actually eat such a low amount of calories and you're not losing weight
Your tracking is probably off
It could be a case of lowered metabolism but you would notice that you feel much worse

>>76283816
>a case of lowered metabolism
Isn't that a meme?

>>76283823
Yes, it is peak fatty cope.

>>76283823
No its not a meme
You start to move less (NEAT) and have less energy
T3 hormone decreases = Lower metabolism
Cortisol increases = hinders metabolism
Testosterone decreases

Bryan Johnson is proud that his body temperature is lower than normal because his caloric restriction diet crushes his metabolism. He also admitted that he's blasting test because it also fucks his T levels.

>I'll apply for jobs once I lose the weight

>>76283847
Same, except it was 15 years for me

>>76283798
noob gains + increased glycogen stores do that to you. Don't worry, it'll pass and you'll be pining for the days of quick gains.

> i generally feel a lot better physically and have noticed i've gained some muscle
then I don't see the problem.

>>76283847
I've lost the weight and nothing has changed. Maybe I'll just get fat again.

>>76283808
i am being honest. fridays OR saturdays are the only days i go over those numbers when i go out with family or friends and it's never over 2400.
>>76283816
i feel like my calorie counting has actually improved since i first started doing it. i've been meal prepping and weighing everything i consume to get as accurate as possible. about 3 months ago i started taking lamotrigine for my mood and strattera for adhd which i thought might've contributed to my plateauing, but everything i see online says that they're actually supposed to do the opposite
>>76283863
>it'll pass and you'll be pining for the days of quick gains
i hope so bro, i want to go to the beach next year and not feel embarrassed

You forgot the shed the mental weight youve been carrying around, being fat is a symptom of being mentally unfit

16k steps, 1600 calories. Today was a good day. Hang in there fellas, one day at a time!

>>76283847
Iktf. Waiting for this one difficult period to end, before changing anything, but the breakthrough you wait for never comes.
Only way out: Doing one step of one thing. Then keep the ball rolling by doing another step. That's hard , but that's all there is to it. Setbacks happen, but that's life.

>>76283651
Checks out lmao I have a bald spot now in addition to the body hair
Trying fin/minox for a bit to see if it can bring it back but I started too late, will probably just end up cueball coping, way she goes

>>76283895
Bro you haven't lost any weight in 2 months. You are eating too much stop fucking lying to yourself.

>>76283895
if you go out YOU CANNOT count the calories
restaurants DOUSE their food in fat in almost every step of the process

>>76283847
I've started to hit on women online and make connections that way

>restaurants DOUSE their food in fat in almost every step of the process
did u work at a restaurant or something?

I went to a high end restaurant recently and it was tasty

>>76283929
if you are eating anything that you didn't prepare yourself you should be over estimating by a lot. a plate at a restaurant and you had some of the appetizer? that's 3k calories right there pal

>>76283929
I dont but my brother worked in multiple restaurants as line cook
The secret to most restaurant foods tasting good is just more fat and salt

>>76280823 (OP)
Down 30lbs. Heaviest was 276.

Been plateaued for nearly 3 months. I'm tracking my calories a bit better but I struggle to find low fat foods and cook better. I have so much ground beef just sitting in my freezer.

Idk which cardio I should focus on. I'm standing all day at work so seated bike feels better but idk if its as much calorie output as treadmill.

>>76283959

sigh... I guess that is why I got heartburn

>>76283915
>>stop losing weight
my bad, i suppose i was being hyperbolic. i didn't completely stop losing weight, i'm just losing it MUCH slower than i previously was. before i started working out i was losing around 6/7lbs a month, i've only lost 6lbs in the two months since i started exercising
>>76283921
>>76283948
yeah i'm not gorging myself every time i eat out and i also compensate for it by having it be my only food of the day except for a protein shake in the morning before i work out. i also doubt that eating out twice a month is very significant in the grand scheme of things unless i'm going absolutely overboard

>>76283626
you are not going to gain any meaningful amount of muscle with a 750 calorie deficit, but you may still avoid losing too much muscle mass if you exercise

/fat/ elevator music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV4DiAyExN0

Im 6' 4 and currently 231 lbs, lifting weights every other day and doing zone 2 stationary bike on the off days, aiming for 2500 kcal and about 150g of protein per day. When can I expect to hit 210 (15-ish percent bodyfat according to navy method)

>>76284065
read the op lazy fat faggot

fuck, I love the egg poacher

>>76283982
>i was losing around 6/7lbs a month, i've only lost 6lbs in the two months since i started exercising
gaining 3 lbs of muscle + glycogen per month is perfectly normal if you just started out with strength training. Gains will go down to 1-2 lbs per month once you're not a complete noob anymore.

>>76284065
depends on how much cardio you are doing. Given what you've described outside the cardio, notably eating 2500 calories a day you may not even be in a caloric deficit. If you are only doing like 30 minutes of zone 2 cardio on your off days it will still take half a year or more probably. At a minimum you should aim for a 500 calorie daily deficit. This equates to 1 pound of fat loss per week.

>>76284000
so basically you're saying if I exercise while losing weight, by the time I hit my goal weight, im just going to look skinny-fat, not actually decent looking?

>>76284157
no if you exercise while you lose weight, meaning whole body resistance training at least twice a week, you will build muscle as you lose fat and then look pretty good once you hit your goal weight.

>>76284157
you will still end with a lot more muscle is you exercise than if you not, but the reality is that you are not going to gain much or any muscle at all if you have a massive calorie deficit

>>76283222
time to start really hitting chest in your workouts. build up those pecs just a little bit and you'll feel a lot better about how you look. my favorite lifts for that were regular bench press, incline press, and overhead press but i'm no expert on weightlifting. i just know that i had the same problem and my flabby moobs made me feel awful but the bench fixed me up without surgery.

>>76283222
Once you get to ur goal weight which should be 10-12% bf I'd just roid, you'll need a lot of muscle to look somewhat like a human being

I am not sure what my blood pressure is going to be next time I visit a doctors, Hopefully is lower. Eating oatmeal, walking and given up the fat burners so hopefully it is out of the upper 130/80 range and this will me my dr happy.

>>76284308
>so hopefully it is out of the upper 130/80 range
that honestly isn't too bad. It is high, but not the end of the world high.

>>76282045
>peanut butter
ikr, I use 15g of peanut butter in my oats, just for flavor and some fats, but apart from this i have managed to cut right back on it. Dangerous stuff for weightloss.

>>76284313
Yeh, this is why I dont worry too much, but my doctor is never happy. Same with cholesterol. Its on the upper end, but still in spec but dr always gives me shit about it.

this morning the number on the scale finally went down.

>>76284295
You say that now, but when the hunger really hits you will not be able to stop yourself from eating. You may think "I will lock myself in and remove all food from the house", but then you will pass out and wake up three hours later after eating three large pizzas that you don't even remember ordering.

>>76281895
I used to make a awsome chicken salad, but I swear I was always backed up a few days later. Maybe I should just start smaller, id make a pretty big bowl. It had cucumber, lettuce, tomato, onion, pumpkin and everything in it.

>>76281862
Just eat ground beef and add a tin of tomatoes. Sounds 100 times better than just eating tomatoes.

>>76281792
Maybe 2-3kg would be doable. Maybe even 5kg seeing as you haven't dieted for a while there will be some water weight there to lose.

A month of getting buzzed nearly daily in a deficit
Lowered inhibitions shrunk it, not unexpected
Still hitting protein goals and exercising daily
But loss rate is 5 lbs a month down from 8-10
I suppose I am a small time alcoholic now
Oh well

Damn, looks good. I am putting on a pot roast on sunday, but in my slow cooker. Hopefully turns out as good as yours looks. Any tips I should know about before going in.

Congrats anon, hopefully this is the start of big things to come.

>>76284346
The leanest I have been is when I was backpacking europe. Id walk all day every day, and drink every night until bed. It was the best. I was fit, happy, sociable and was the only time in my life i have really felt free.

This is the recipe I use and honestly it comes out really nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVuXwv1yxo0
-Salt your meat generously
-Brown your meat all over before you braise it
-To cook it you want to heat the meat up to about 190-195 F (the meat itself not the oven or the braising liquid) and then hold it there for about 3 hours

>>76283847
I did the same thing Anon. I just set smaller goals with specific weight loss amounts. For example:
>If I lose 10lbs, I'll treat myself to a new sketchbook and pencils

I do try to avoid food specific goals, although I do have one - when I lose 50lbs I really want a Cinnabon. I haven't had one in like 13 years and it smelled good the last time I was at the mall. It could taste absolutely shitty but I figure a goal is a goal.

Poor fag here. Can I just add 10kgs of whatever bullshit to my hiking backpack to be use as a weight vest?

>>76284397
yeah, rucking is just about carrying more weight. It doesn't really matter how you carry it, just so long as you are moving. The more mass you move the more calories you burn.

>>76284388
Thankyou. I will post my results Sunday night. I think I now have everything I need to make this a success.

Do you think salting my meat the day before and putting it back in the fridge overnight is worth it?

>>76284403
Thanks fren

>>76281868
This doesn't really happen to everyone desu. I have been eating 1 meal of chicken, rice, carrots, peppers, onions and beans every day since January, with the occassional cheatday when I'm invited to go out eating with friends. I didn't weight myself before starting but I lost over 30kg and I still love the taste of my chicken and rice

>>76284412
Yeah I think dry brining helps out meat a good amount.

>>76283090
because goal weight is a meme, especially if you're fat. Just stay at a defecit until your gut becomes a flat stomach, that should be your goal

Last 2 digits = pushups

>>76284483

>>76284486
50/83 done

I didn't lift today, I took the day off. I'm sore all over and ache from my last work out. I feel like a failure. I just want to sleep. The shame of pussing out and not lifting is killing me though and keeping me up.

>>76284543
>I'm sore all over and ache from my last work out.
You should honestly have at least 2 days off before you hit the same muscle group for resistance training, so you probably made the right decision in taking time off.

>>76284543
lol

get some sleep. you'll feel like a million bucks tomorrow. then you can lift.

>>76284415
A limited variety of food is fine. But only one kind of food, especially only from one food group? I could muster eating rice, chicken and your choice of veggies aswell but just tomatoes or just potatoes yeah fuck no. You will hate it for the rest or your life at some point.

>>76284584
Depends on the context I think. Gorging yourself on tomatoes to satiety multiple times a day would last a matter of hours, but if you were basically doing an extended fast and wanted to eat a few cherry tomatoes or pickles every day it could be tolerable.

I was doing omad but then I started eating a half weed gummy that's about 5 calories and 1.5 grams of sugar at around 11am to get through my work day. It really distracts me from pain and the repetitive dull work I do but it's gay breaking a fast like that

Your body will use that much energy in less than 5 minutes, unless your fast is some sort of religious ceremony your pedantry serves no purpose.

I never realized how hard it is to get daily 1000 cal intake by clean eating. I am losing my mind here. Already shoved everything down my throat and I am only at 800 cal. Make it make sense.

When do manboobs start going away? I went from 220lbs to 180 and despite doing rigorous chest exercises 4 times a week my manboobs aren't going away and it makes me want to kill myself. Did I lose the genetic lottery?

>>76284859
>rigorous chest exercises 4 times a week
Gotta add mass to your chest to confuse the gyno and make your chest look smaller.

that looks really neat but it looks like it was made by ai. link?

>>76284438
the best thing to do is to set a concrete goal and work towards it. that means picking a goal weight- a number to work towards. when you reach that milestone, you reassess your goals. it may mean cutting more, it may mean bulking up a bit to build some muscle and then going back to cutting later. some of the people here have been cutting for more than a year. that's hard to do. they need to feel like they are achieving their goals in order to keep themselves motivated.

also, some of the people who were seriously overweight have loose skin and may never have a flat stomach unless they decide to do surgery. what seems like an attainable goal to you, might not even be possible for another person. i don't mean to be cynical but i've read a lot of stories from people on /fit/ who did decide to get surgery and they were happy they did. they didn't fail. achieving that goal in the normal way just wasn't possible for them.

many of the people in these threads have made miracle transformations. they are exceptional people. it takes an incredible amount of willpower and a lot of work to do what they have done.

>>76284859
you were overweight/obese possibly for years, going underweight for a couple months to get rid of your moobs will not kill you. At least that is my justification for trying to get underweight.

I just realized I can do not only one full push up, but I can do 3 minimium.
If I keep at I should be able to do more if I keep at it.
So I will do push ups every day from now on untill I can do a 100.
I VILL be one of the anons that are able to do the amount of pushups as the the last 2 digits of my post when told to.

Youre not lifting everyday right?

>>76284438
Thats a recipe for a diet that never ends and thats can be really stressful. A goal weight in the long term is a good idea and set diet durations for the shorter term a terrific idea. Like I just did 10 weeks and now im taking a week off. Then its 7 weeks and Im done.

>>76284973
i remember being morbidly obese and being inspired by fotns. years later im in pretty damn good shape. i hope to be built like kenshiro in another 5 years of lifting. hell after bulking for the past year and dieting for 10 weeks, this is the SECOND time Ive been able to see my abs. First time being last year.

Dropped about 10 pounds in the past 1.5 months. I set a goal of 7K steps per day at a minimum. Lately I've been walking about 2 miles after work. I'm also finally eating healthier. Just hit under 330 for the first time since like middle school. Hopefully this is the beginning of real change, but my binge eating has held me back my whole life.

You should find ways to eat healthy but feel full and enjoy things that replicate your binge foods.

>>76285226
I've done that for a few things. I made a healthy burrito bowl instead of ordering Chipotle. B

ut some of my binges are just triggered by wanting THAT food. And it changes; I'll crave pizza for a month straight, then want chips and salsa, then cheese and crackers, then bagels, etc. The only solution I've found for that is to buy it in small quantities pre-emptively or to binge on them and not eat anything else that day.

>>76285239
Maybe find pizzas you can eat when you want. Like napoletana or some kind of frozen pizza that's either moderate in calories or portion size. For things like bagels or cheese and crackers. Have them when you want, but then have more nutritionally dense fiber rich foods the rest of the day to stay full and get your protein in. Dieting at 330 is a long haul, so you should find ways to reduce the friction. So if you ate a bagel with cream cheese for 500-600 calories, maybe eat a 400 calories salad and 700-800 calories of a lean meat based food like chili or a chicken dish to fill out the rest of the day. The trick wont be depriving yourself of what you love, but making the deficit as liveable as possible and fulfilling your cravings without setting you back. Also, consider a week or two of a diet break every 10-12 weeks.

I lived in a flea-infested house for a year as a child and it had a permanent effect on my psyche, any little tickle on my skin or spotting a freckle/bit of fluff out of the corner of my eyes and I need to immediately check. I've stopped it now but for years afterwards the first thing I'd do every morning was sit on the edge of my bed watching my legs for 15 minutes to make sure none jumped onto me.

>At least that is my justification for trying to get underweight.
I need to look as sick as I feel thats all

>>76284273
Don't bother taking multivits on a fast, they'll go straight through you, just take them on days when you eat, the only thing you need to supplement (and only if you're going multiple days) are electrolytes as the body doesn't maintain long term stores of them.

>, this is the SECOND time Ive been able to see my abs. First time being last year.
Nice I wish I could ever have said the same thing.
For me it's not even their build, but their resolve.
I want to have the resolve they have.

>>76284273
Everytime I took a multivitamin on a fast I was nauseous for hours or ended up vomiting, it's terrible

Bros, I just parallel imported some Quest Protein Chips, and that thing is downright magical.
140 kcal for a bag that feels like an equivalent of eating a 260 kcal can of Pringles AND they have insane macros AND they do really satisfy craving for chips.
Too bad they don't sell them here, so I'll have to overpay a lot if I want to get more of them.

Speaking of, I haven't posted here in a while, but June marks one year since I started to lose weight.
I went from 124 kg down to 85 kg doing nothing but counting calories and trying to eat ~2000 kcal/day.
I don't look great because I'd have to be lifting for that, but at least now I look "normal" instead of clearly obese.
The weight loss has slowed down to a crawl, I only lost like 4~5 kilos this year, but than again, it's not like I have changed anything and my TDEE has dropped dramatically over the course of the last year.

I don't think I'll be dropping my calorie intake further, I feel very comfortable with the 2000/day thing, and instead I'm planning on introducing more calorie expenditure.
Ultimately, I'll go to the gym, I'm just delaying that because I'm a lazy ass.
The biggest revelation I got over the course of this year - I'll have to count calories 'till the day I die unless I'll get a very active hobby (which I won't), because when I'm eating intuitively, I just eat too goddamn much.

Keep it up, bros, wagmi.

Hello anons, want to know my chances at success here. I've been doing a normal cut for about 1.5 months, but I have a photoshoot coming up on Thursday so this Monday I started an extreme cut (comparatively) for 10 days; I am consuming 950 calories daily, 175g of protein in that calorie allowance. I am also walking 15k steps daily, while also somehow maintaining all my lifts. I am 6'1 and now, Friday, am weighing 166.8lbs. My goal is to have my abs show for the photoshoot as much as possible, so I want to know what the odds are that I will achieve this given I stay the course and finish out the remaining 6 days?

>>76285397
You are not fat. Fuck off faggot.

>>76285397
Not much will change in 6 days unfortunately, but good luck anyway

>morning weight is half a kilo more than it was yesterday even despite taking a massive dump beforehand
I-it's just water, right? Right. I exercised yesterday, must be causing retention or something.

>eat clean for weeks
>lose weight steadily, feel great
>cravings for junk food subside
>actually feel disgusted by it
>feel like I'm making it
>in supermarket yesterday
>see bbq chips, on sale even
>mind instantly yearns for sitting on the couch, shoveling salty happiness in my mouth

I didn't buy any, but fuck. I don't think I will ever have a normal relationship with some food items, the promise of dopamine just makes monkey brain take over.
Do I have to go the AA route, accept that I'm powerless, and avoid all contact with my worst trigger foods forever?

Measure daily, judge trend weekly.
Or if y have a tendency to obsess over the numbers, just measure weekly

>>76285397
Best chance is to do the bodybuilder thing, eat super low carb, then half an hour before the shoot, eat as much sugar as you can and do some crunches to pump up what muscles you have.

hey lads, i been on a diet for about a year now, and i managed to lose 45kg since i started
im sitting now at 94kg, but im completly stuck for 2 months now. last month, i started doing a lot more physical activity, pool swimming, and reduced my daily intake carbs to about 1000kcal, but despite this im still stuck, i still see my weight going up and down in intervals of 0.4kg everytime i weigh myself
is there anything im doing wrong cause im starting to get pissed the fuck off

>>76285526
Have you recalculated your tdee? Loss like yours changes it massively. Congrats btw.
Sad reality is, it gets harder the less fat you are.

>>76285526
>but im completly stuck for 2 months now
>*taps sign*
You're somehow eating maintenance, you need to eat less than you're currently eating to continue your weight loss. As the other anon suggested go back to square one, recalculate your TDEE, establish a 500~1000kcal deficit, weigh and log EVERYTHING you put into your body, yes that includes the tiny little snacks you sneak and the extra splash of oil you accidentally dropped in the pan when cooking. Something is taking you out of deficit and only you can figure out what it is, good luck.

New Nun bread when?

hop on creatine if you haven't yet, it'll pump up your muscles with water
