>walk everywhere
>none of my clothes fit

I'm still fat. I'm 86kg, why am I still fat? I wasn't fat one year ago, suddenly I've ballooned. Why? I can't wear a playsuit without looking like a beach ball

>>81898806 (OP)
>one hours cardio every night
What kind of cardio?

>>81898816
I sit on my exercise bike and shit post

>>81898806 (OP)
You aren't eating enough protein and you are probably eating more than you think you are. Cardio doesn't count unless your heart rate is 150 BPM for the majority of the time, too.

>>81898845
protein thing is bs you're just eating too much period.

>>81898845
I have one egg a day, and then some chicken or tuna.

I sweat so much on the bike it's unreal, I'm covered in sweat right now. I do try to get more protein.

>>81898864
Wrong, I eat 1000 calories a day, I counted it

>>81898806 (OP)
are you a man or a woman anon, this is important

>>81898806 (OP)
My brains not working now but I'll try to get what's in my head out,

It takes a lot of time and you can't just lose weight and then stop whatever you're doing
You have to permanently change your life, you can't for example diet just for a month, you have to eat like that for ever

people who lost weight usually also gain it back up because they're unable to not come back to their old habits because the food cravings are never ending

I can tell I've gotten fatter as my waist trainer only reaches the biggest setting and before it was the tightest

>>81898874
>Wrong, I eat 1000 calories a day, I counted it
If that was true you would have lost weight.

>>81898877

>>81898878
This happened to me, I got so slim, like unreal levels of slim, I was the skinniest out of my friends. And then I had a bad patch and ate pizza everyday for 3 months and now I'm a house. But that was one year ago, and now in 2025 I'm trying to be slim again.

I used to fast but I'm not fasting again, it's too horrible

>>81898901
I only eat the food I buy. I'm poor so I only buy food I need, lots of veggies, leafy greens, etc.

Its financially impossible for me to eat more than 2000 calories of veggies. And no I don't use sauces, they have sugar in. I am hypothyroidic

>>81898902
Fasting isn't that bad, but it never worked for me. I'd do 24 hour fasts drinking only black tea and coffee and didn't lose weight. For what it's worth, Anon, once you go fat your body will always want to return to being fat and the rest of your life is battling your ruined metabolism and fat cells.

>>81898918
Fuck my life oh god

>>81898918
What can I do?! I don't want to be curvy, i miss my cute clothes, I look like a heffalump now

Some rude man asked me for the time and then called me big bird

>>81898902
how tall are you, femanon? how much did you weigh before?

1000 calories is too little, your metabolism is fucked. You need to introduce cheat days with slightly above normal calories to avoid the plateau.
Starving only exists in the context of lack of proteins, wild tribal humans eat around only 600-800 calories per day and still don't die, while asians just 200 years ago did die on their 1000+ calories diets because all they ate are was rice.

>>81898902
the problem with fasting is that it often causes people to overeat afterwards
>patch and ate pizza
yeah it's like drugs because your brain gets used to it and demands it to feel good
funnily enough only way to suppress your brain is by then using drugs
>I'm trying to be slim again.
best of luck !

>>81898806 (OP)
i think you can lose one maybe two pounds (3500 cal a pound) a week so it's going to be a while before you see results
I suggest a little bit of resistance training to top off your cardio. Walking for long periods is good too

>>81898939
5'7, so I'm tall but I look fat. Was 70kg before

>>81898942
The problem is I go crazy. So I don't have a cheat day, I need such bad food, I will stock everything with chocolate, muffins, frozen pizzas. Then I just gorge and look at stuff on my phone.

That's why I'm all or nothing, I'm either super disciplined or I'm a wreck. I cant just have one doughnut, i need 5, and pringles, and kinder bueno. I'm so hungry. All I have is salad in the fridge oh god

>>81898954
Yeah I get very sad without food, all I used to do is eat. Like just go out and eat.

Its too tempting to go outside so now I stay inside, eating salad, I want to kms

>>81898969
Why does it take so long?

I do an hour a night, 7 days a week and the best I can lose is 2 pounds, 1kg?!

Wtf

>>81898806 (OP)
>>81898998
>i'm eating normal food and doing the lowest effort most efficient "exercise" possible
>ermm why isn't my weight changing?!?!?

>>81898983
do you not enjoy binging? how it feels to be full? satiating your hunger?

>>81899041
I never feel full. When I go to buffets I can eat 6 or 7 plates. I stop once my tummy starts to hurt but I don't feel full ever.

>>81898989
btw maybe go to /fit/ instead of r9k
>all I used to do is eat. Like just go out and eat.
yeah doesn't sound too good

>>81899040
Yes?

Healthy food and exercise, that's what I'm supposed to do right, you loser

>>81899052
are you the same anon as op? 6 or 7 plates is crazy binging.

>>81899052
You know what's funny is I am the same. I haven't eaten like that in years but I am capable of just eating and eating until I am throwing up. My stomach capacity has shrunk so much that a single sandwich makes me start regurgitating now, but back when I was younger I could probably eat enough for three or four people before I lost 30kg.

>>81899066
Yeah I'm same, I'm on my exercise bike rn, my bum hurts, done one hour 20 mins

>>81899060
Sadness. When I had a bf we would eat out all the time, and then we broke up.

All my friends are taken, some have kids, it's not the same. I'm the freak. How. Im sad.

>>81899060
/fit/ has terrible health advice. People there all have insane body dysmorphia and are pro-ana. It's like asking /v/ about video games, people on /fit/ will tell you to eat 800 kcal a day maximum while running marathons and say you are just fat and lazy if you do otherwise.

>>81899064
you're supposed to eat less food, healthy food is good for you but does not mean you will lose weight with it, you can gain weight with healthy food
walking, also good for you, won't make you lose weight, your muscles need to be sore, you need to lift weights
(losing weight is like 90% diet over exercise anyways)

>>81899075
I only asked because you said you only eat 1000 cals and only certain foods but now you're talking about binging on donuts and at buffets
you either need to stop lying to yourself about your intake and actually diet, or you need to stop lying to yourself that you want to be skinny

>>81899074
Oh wow, how did you overcome it? I went on a date last month to this Chinese buffet and I had so much food, so much dessert too.

I think the guy had 3 plates and I had 7 plus dessert. Anyways how did you shrink your tummy?

>>81898998
100 lbs a year though
I used to eat cooked spinach with hot sauce and seasoned chicken breast (adobe all purpose seasoning) to help it go down.

>>81899099
Oh wow. I look like a stupid lying bitch don't I.

I didn't even realise. Listen, I do eat salads but I can binge sometimes but then the binge lasts days and then I feel awful. And I do exercise every night.

>>81899103
I just starved myself for a year, and now my metabolism is fucked and eating even a little dirty for a weekend causes me to gain 2-3 kg easily. I am tired all the time, I can sleep for 16 hours at a time and I am constantly fighting my body.

>>81898902
Do you do intermittent fasting where you only eat in a 4 hour window every day?

>>81899075
I think you need to do more intense exercise than an exercise bike.

>>81899130
I also wanna add that, to this day, I keep a food diary where I start at 500 kcal and count from that as my baseline before I have eaten anything, and try to stay below 1300 including that.

>>81899123
the binging is the issue. at a certain point it doesn't matter how much exercise you end up doing. it's calories in, calories out. you're taking too many calories in. I'm not telling you to starve yourself, but binging for days on end is obviously going to have an effect
so again, you either need to fix whatever is mentally causing you to binge like that, or embrace it. do you enjoy the feeling of binging? do you enjoy eating thousands of calories in one sitting? do you actually want to be skinny?

>>81899114
Yeah so hopefully i can be slim by next summer, I want to go to the beach. I got so much attention before, it felt so nice.

I didn't look out of place. Now I would.

>>81898806 (OP)
You're not counting snacks, cooking oil, oil in the tuna cans, salad sauces
Your body is also holding on water weight, what you should do is fast two to three days a week, reconsider your protein counting and start lifting weights or doing some martial art
>Seated bike
Yeah that's fuck all get a real bike

reminds me of a joke
>guy is at the doctor
>asking the doctor why he keeps gaining weight
>doctor tells him, "Don't eat anything fatty"
>so the guy is like, "You mean like pizza? burgers? bacon? stuff like that?"
>so the doctor says, "No, Fatty. Don't eat anything"

>>81899130
Oh no, that sounds like hell. I think that happened to me, I would fast for ages.

Is there anything you can do? I love my chocolate, I cant afford to gain 3kg everytime I'm sad

>>81899175
Your protein and* calories counting

>>81899136
I was doing 3 days fast, 1 day food, but I went insane.

I just eat twice a day because laziness, no fasting

>>81899148
Its cheap, I got my bike, I use it in my apartment. I can just sit on it and shit post and scroll like im doing right now.

It has a know I turn to increase resistance. I don't go to the gym, I haven't got the confidence to go alone.

>>81899155
That's good, the doctor told me to record my meals but I feel awful looking back. So easy to overeat

>>81899175
I drink so much water a day, a lot!

I dont have access to a gym, I don't have the confidence and my exercise bike is in my apartment, I can look out the window and go on my phone, its as comfy as exercise gets

>>81899208
Go for a run instead.

>>81899238
>its as comfy as exercise gets
That's why it's not working

>>81899238
adjustable dumbbells is all you need, bonus points for an adjustable bench

>>81898806 (OP)
CICO. You are eating/drinking more calories than you think you are.

>>81898806 (OP)
Cardio is a meme, exercise barely burns calories.
If you're not doing resistance training, aka building muscle through moving heavy objects until your muscles are close or do give out, you're wasting time.
You simply need to eat less, start practicing some form of fasting, either not eating after like 6PM or going on an alternate day fasting schedule where you don't eat every other day.
Good luck, OP.

>>81899242
I have e cups

>>81899256
But it's the best I have, I do this and I walk for miles. Exercise sucks so much, I do what I can to get through it

>>81899300
No way, I don't want to be huge. I want to be small again not get big. I'm already tall enough, so many men are my height

>>81898806 (OP)
Are you on any medications or birth control?

A lot of antidepressants and birth control completely fuck up your body. One of my best friends barely eats, but is on some antidepressant that made her go from petite goddess to land whale.

You fell for the medication meme

>>81899527
>I have e cups
Get better bras. Pretty sure I saw a professional tennis player with pretty big boobs, and we're not professionals. Also, even if you don't do that, you should be exercising your legs to the point they get sore, not just your butt.

>>81898806 (OP)
You need to eat 1800 calories of animal fat per day so your body goes into ketosis and starts eating it's own fat.

also at 86kg what are we talking daily here? 15 chicken Cesar salads drowned in ranch and 2 cartons of eggs per day?

You can't exercise a 1000+ calorie surplus unless you can literally sprint for 2 hours straight, not even an Olympic athlete can do that..

>>81899550
Yeah on both, which is silly as i dont have a boyfriend. On a lot of anti depressants.

Its sad about your friend, i can relate, i miss being small. One thing i noticed was how differently society treats me, im invisible now.

Before i got so much attention to the point of annoyance.

Salads are not healthy despite the propaganda (antinutrients and natural plant defense chemicals are in the foods, they are actively trying to kill you), especially the dressings. You're probably getting fucked over by seed oils in things you eat. Calories is a trash system, the numbers don't line up very well. Implement a day or two of fasting in your weekly routine, no calories in those two days whatsoever. This will boost your autophagy and if you're a male will also help you build muscle in the following days. Don't do long cardio that often, your body gets used to routines, switch it up and do some HIIT exercise and some muscle training on some days (eccentric/negative motions are 2.2x better compared to positive motions, lower weights slowly in a controlled manner using the bulk of your exercise time, the lifting portion is trash)

>>81899628
Yeah bras are expensive. I have a few underwired ones, and a sports one but it isnt comfy.

Which tennis player, i dont watch any sports, they are usually very toned and slim, not like me. I definitely cant run, but i would do squats on a machine at the gym, i just dont want to be alone

>>81900186
Ohhh i love Caesar salad, they taste great and are healthy. I only have one egg a day, and its boiled. I have 15 eggs in the fridge which i really should eat.

But i was told just doing one hour a night on the bike would be enough. As long as i do that ill be healthy. Thats what i was told

>>81898806 (OP)
Because you still eat more calories than you burn, albeit in the form of salads, chicken, tuna and eggs.

My suggestion is to avoid things like tuna mayo or chicken pizza or anything with seed oil and sugar added, which sate less hunger per calories ingested. You can eat like 1000 to 1500 calories in one sitting and not even realize it.

>>81900223
Wtf plants are trying to kill me?! But vegetables are healthy!

>cardio only
You haven't heard of skinny-fat, have you? People who do cardio only are always skinny-fat. You need to add some strength training. Cut down your cardio to three times a week, and strength training 3x/week.

>>81900227
>Yeah bras are expensive
Surely they are a worthwhile investment for the sake of your physical health?

https://moderntennismuse.wordpress.com/2014/07/04/women-need-support/

>>81900247
I love caesar salad but it's not healthy
the dressing and croutons and cheese are pretty bad and the only vegetable is lettuce

>>81900283
I'll protect you from the veggies

OP here im a bit overwhelmed, so much info. Just zoning out

>>81900650
If you're comfortable, we could talk on discord. I've helped several friends and a lot of people online lose weight, so if you're struggling, I'd love to help.

>>81900650 I'll make you a weekly plan with the optimal information.

M: Muscle training. Focus on slowly lowering weights under tension instead of focusing on the lift aspect (resume eating, avoid seed oils, ensure enough protein for recovery)
T: Rest
W: HIIT
Th: Cardio
F: Rest
Sat: No calories. Water/coffee/tea is fine. 'Zero sugar' is okayish but may increase difficulty
Sun: Same as Saturday

>>81898806 (OP)
anon it is literally ALL calories in calories out. count snacks, sodas, everything. for every 3500 calories you DON'T eat you'll lose 1lbs or like .4kgs

>>81901484
Struggling. Not eating over 1000. Still fat. No good

:(

Anon is definitely miscalculating, I'm betting that theyre ignoring certain ingredients like the salad dressing lole

my jaw dropped when I checked how much 30g of the avarage dressing was, let alone a 100g which is the usual amount for restaurants to pour and included in pre-made grocery salads.

300+ calories for a condiment is not worth it for one half-fulling meal so you end up eating more while thinking you're under the limit

>>81898806 (OP)
>>one hours cardio every night
Do more intense cardio.

>>eat nothing but salads, chicken, tuna and eggs
Eat less. As in water only.

>>81898918
You have never had a meaningful fast.

I'm losing 1 kg a week while still eating unhealthy and barely working out and that's by tracking every little thing that goes in my mouth, especially with a food scale.

Only began gaining back those half kg's when I started to chill out on the counting and estimating

Now I'm back to "obsessive" counting kek

>>81898806 (OP)
Many metabolic health problems can cause you to get fat. I have sleep apnea and I've never had this much belly fat in my life.

>>81900685
>optimal information
Nothing quite as optimal as 2 days of cardio and 2 days of starving herself, I'm sure that's sustainable and won't make her want to binge eat and balloon back up.
Just don't ever give any health advice to anyone again when the average upper/lower split will give her better results without developing an eating disorder, you retard
