So 3 weeks ago I had to suspend doing stronglifts due to an injury. I started compensating for it by doing much more Cardio and hiit and now my knee is bothering me. I guess the only thing left for me is the miserable elliptical.

21M 5’11, will I have loose skin? Been doing ellipitical and low carb diet since early June and went from 245 to 212 in 45ish days.

I’ll probably stop going to gym every single day once I’m below 200, but my goal is 178 (25 bmi)

>>74780201
Dude you’re almost past the 200 lbs line!

God willing should I reach that line I would cross tears of joy. 12 more pounds to go

For me it's not fasting (le hottest trend), but fasting (laziness).
My problem is, I eat like shit, which is caused by the fact that i'm lazy and live like shit. What I mean is, I often wake up late as shit so I figure
>might as well skip eating today
and the next day I skip breakfast and lunch because I fucking sleep, and by the time I wake up, I'm, as expected, famished as fuck and crave greasy and sugary slop, and excuse it with
>weeeeeell, it's late and this might be my only meal for the day so i should scarf down as much calories as i can
and then
>whoops, that's 1k over! eh, no big deal i'll start over tomorrow
I'm NGMI if I can't resist crawling to maccas for a bite to eat every time I'm tired. And this is just summer. It's even worse when I work, because I pass by that maccas omw home.

this anon is right, the next 10 kg you'll look fantastic, I reached my goal weight of 74 and the biggest jump in appearance was from 90 to 80kg. One advice though, start wearing clothes that's your size and stop wearing your old shirts which are a size or even larger, you'll immediately look better and it will be a big morale boost, try it out today and you'll see how much you've achieved

I went from 240 to 180 without notable loose skin. But its worth bearing in mind loose skin looks a hell of a lot better than be a butter golem.

Fatties literally cannot tell the truth about their caloric intake even when they have complete anonymity. Are they just ashamed or does obesity trigger some unique mental illness?

A costco hotdog is about 580 calories. Your dogs sound a little meatier so that + the toppings + the assumed fancier bun, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they each dipped over 1k calories.

How fast tho? And yea I’ll take loose skin with a healthy bmi anyday lol

Probably like 800+ each.

It's no big deal, just don't eat till tomorrow.

Feeling good. Might be time to either up the speed or do more than 2.5km.

Only time I've done that many is the first day I went to Japan last year. Congrats. Honestly I should lengthen my weekend walks, currently doing 5km but I might take it to the next cut off which would make it like 6 or 7.

Also really want to get into the habit of doing them relatively early in the morning too, but that's hard to convince myself at 7am on a Satuday.

Bros as someone whos never lifted in my life before (I'm 31) beginner gains are insane. I've only been lifting for 5 weeks and i feel like i actually have muscles already, like they get bigger when i flex. I can also big up heavier thing and put it down now.

Is there a name for the phenomenon where you restrict food for health reasons only to realize your tolerance for foods in general gets worse leading to further restrictions in diet?
For example, ive never felt worse than eating bread after cutting it out for a month so I stopped eating bread but then my stomach started getting irritated when id eat starchy veggies where previously they were no issue

How long can you go without eating until your metabolism slows down? Is it possible to not eat, wait for your metabolism to slow down, gorge to reset and repeat?

>>74781028
metabolism is a meme word, metabolism slowing down is memes on top of memes, you're not gonna get a non-meme answer here or anywhere else
just eat less, if you have the willpower to do that meme diet you propose just go with it, no one can stop you
but going all the way with just a low-calorie diet would probably work just as well

it is what it is man, it took us a long time to get to this point too
also taking some time to lose weight gives our skin the time it needs to adapt to the smaller size somewhat, within the limit of our genetics
also also putting the making it meme aside for a moment losing weight is not an all or nothing state, things will get progressively better and more enjoyable as we lose weight and more opportunities will open to us, it's not like we have to wait a year and a half to two years to start living

>you can't lose weight on fruit

All "bowls" are only marginally more helpful for your diet than their more carb heavy counterpart. Processed food is shit tier for you, even if it doesn't come wrapped in a flour tortilla.

First meal since taking Mounjaro yesterday, still don't feel hungry at all but i should eat.
>300g chicken breast
>200g white rice
>250g Cauliflower
About 800cals all together

>>74781293
Try to have three meals a day regardless of calorie count

>>74781072
Every single step of that progress is equally valuable. The first 10 lost lbs are just as valuable as the last. At the end of the day, you know this is a long term thing, so there's nothing to gain from questioning how long it'll be when you know you CAN reach there as long as you persevere.

You're seeing that scale go down. Keep up what you're doing - cause you're already doing good - and it'll get to where you need. How long doesn't matter.

Also in the grand scheme of things, 2 years isn't really that much. If you're in your twenties or thirties, you have -multiple decades- if your life to take advantage of your improved health and lower weight. And even if you're older than that, 2 years is still worth the effort to make everything after better - including the increased lifespan.

You're doing good anon, you're on the road to making it. It's always worth keeping going.

>>74781316
>regardless of calorie count
But if i just eat a bunch i'll stay fat.......

>>74781263
Remember other people are trying to lose weight. A bit of venting is fine but you'll just demotivate everyone by spamming

Sorry, I meant it in the sense of "try to have lunch, even if it's just a small bite."

>>74781341
Ah right, it does make sense since i do feel a bit of stomach ache even from just a 800cal meal. I'll make the pivot to having three 500cal meals a day.

>>74781333
Yeah yeah. These threads keep me motivated and committed to weight loss so I kind of just spew my stream of consciousness in em.

Weight training feels so good. Learn good technique and control the weights on the way down for a good stretch, then explosively lift them back up with good form. Also try a few isolation exercises and try training them to absolute failure to learn what that feels like. What program are you running? Beginners are good on 3 times week lifting, maybe 4.

>Why 1000 instead of 100 weighted?
smart man. I used to do 3 sets of 20, but i started training legs more seriously and then I ripped the footrest off my bench this week trying to do situps with a 90lb dumbell lmao, I switched cable crunches now

>I plan on getting that some time in the future along with gyno surgery since I have some minor gyno.
No one gives a shit about your gyno. You're a fucking man, not a ken doll. Make the most you can of your body.

>>74781425
>Yeah i'm all for advice, i'm a complete beginner so i really just went off the advice of a few youtube videos.
Well you're pretty close to a good routine. Here's a revised routine

>Lateral raises
>Dumbell Upright Row
>Bicep curls (against my leg) (called a concentration curl)
>Incline bench curls
>Pullups on a pullup bar from amazon or dumbell rows bent over your bench (3 sets of as many as possible)

Do chest 2x a week
>Dumbell bench press / Incline Bench Press (alternate these every workout)
>Chest flyes

Do legs 1x a week (you can do more, but upper body gives a lot of bang for your buck visually when you start out)
>bulgarian split squats

Try sets of 3x6 or 3x8 instead of 3x10 for everything but the lateral raises. It'll help you build a bit more strength so you can continue progressing. If you're able able to do all 3 sets for an exercise two workouts in a row, add a bit more weight. The smallest increment you can, then try to complete the set and repeat. This is called progressive overload.

>>74781505
Thanks man, appreciate the advice.

>>74781517
This is advice is gonna be more important than the routine I gave you. Try to have fun. If you have fun, you'll find reasons to get in the gym. If you suffer, you'll find excuses to skip it. Put on your favorite music, get a bit emotional, enjoy pushing past your limits, and get into the workout. Good luck.

Ive got 7 weeks until my next japan trip. Last time I got fucking shredded through dieting and walking, but im not interested in that anymore. Im just gonna eat clean foods, calorie cycling between 2000-3000 calories a day and do tons of fun hard cardio alongside my weightlifting. I want my diet and training to make me happy this time, not suffering. The suffering was cathartic, but the time for that is over. Now I lift and eat right because it makes me happy.

You're correct, though what you're describing is a lot stronger than how I feel about it.

If my weight fluctuates higher than it did yesterday, am I gaining weight? I was down two lbs in the morning.

>>74782025
your body is mostly water
the amount of water in your body fluctuates a few percent, which amounts to like a kg or two up or down, due to a hundred little factors you can't hope to track like salt intake and blood acidity
so it's pointless to worry about weight changes day to day. the best you can do is always weight yourself in the same situation every day (usually when you wake up, before eating or drinking anything)

if you have to weight yourself every day then take a 5 day running average and consider that your 'real' weight

Weigh in day tomorrow, scale go down?

Been ok man. Where I am fucking up is telling myself its ok to put the bag of treats in the shopping basket. Maybe even before that is going to the supermarket after gym where Im ravenous and telling myself candy is good for after gym along with my protein shake.

Was 260 at 5'6, now 200 at 5'8. I got any and have maintained 200 for around a year now, just been lifting and making strength progress but i want to get into the best shape of my life so I'm doing kickboxing now which includes running 3 times a week. Idk how long I was 260 for, I just ballooned up ever since I was a kid and when I was 16 I decided to lose the weight.

That's rough my guy.

today i went and did cardio for a whole hour without it resulting in a migraine for the first time

i don't know how I didn't realize this for a full year but all I had to do is not go 90% max heart rate. just chill and take it slow and you still get a workout in. maybe now I can stick to it

I got sick. Couldnt eat or sleep for 4 days. Sweated buckets too cause i had no AC. Am on antibiotics right now but back to doing 6-8 GtG sets of 10 to 15 pull ups. Might do a real workout tommorow though the antibiotics are probably gonna be gains goblins.

Either way, lost 4kg in that time. Hope not too much of it was muscle. I got to the weight i've been wanting to get, 75kg. BMI 22.5.

This may belong in /lean/ but i started with you guys 20 BMI points ago so it's been real

feels good to know for certain that tomorrow scale will be down, keto is easy mode

>>74782655
I see, desu you look far lighter in your pic, like sub 180.
Well, you seem to have the right mentality re: lifting and being in shape. Moreover, you're extremely young, so your skin will have a greater chance to recover significantly. For sure keep building muscle as well as that will fill your skin up a bit, no joke. Keep it up man, good luck

Yup you go in 3x a week total. Top part every time, then the other parts as listed as well alongside the top part. Id do pullups before curls if I was a beginner since your biceps will become a limiting factor for the pullup if you curl first.

>>74782831
as accurate as the expensive ones. It's like a GPS tracker thing here it just tracks distance from point A to point B and converts it into number of steps. You should also have a distance function so feel free to map a regular route of yours in Gmap using the walking function and compare both distances given to you if you follow the route 100%.

>>74783631
>>74782831
You may as well just use the step trackers that come pre-installed on most phones. I use the samsung health app.

>>74783622
>exercise is more important for health and physique rather than weight loss
I dont see it that way. Diet is a pre-requisite. Once that's dialed in, exercise becomes and INCREDIBLY powerful potentiater of weight loss.

stepped on the scale today- 219lbs. i don't deserve these feels.

>>74783656
The video is talking about people that don't change eating habits and just try to up exercise to lose weight, which is not a good strategy. If you exercise you will burn more, but it likely will not be as accurate as you think for your daily total (i.e. if you burn 400 calories on your smart watch, you should not eat 400 more calories). It is still important, but you can only lose so much as your diet allows. Physiqonomics has had an article on this for two years: https://physiqonomics.com/constrained-energy-model/

>>74783755
I just dont like how its presented and I really dislike the concept of your body downregulating activity when you exercise. That's taken as unavoidable fact within the video, when what you should do is take that and turn it into self knowledge and forcing yourself to keep up your general activity levels when you add exercise. I get what it's saying and theres some truth to it, but ultimately the presentation is very blackpilling and demoralizing to the point that I think its on purpose. It's simple. Take a moderate deficit, find cardio you enjoy, do it consistently, and take small steps outside of that to be active like taking stairs and doing active hobbies.

i haven't been trying to lose weight. i've been focusing on building muscle, getting a good amount of cardio, and eating clean. aside from a few fuckups, i've mostly succeeded in building muscle without putting on much fat.

then, a few weeks ago, i started eating less. i skipped breakfast probably every other day, i started eating smaller portions also. now i've built muscle and lost pretty much all the weight i gained. i plan to continue cutting for the next three months. my current goal weight is 200-210lbs.

i'm going to maintain the same level of exercise while adding just one new exercise to my routine. my focus is simplicity and consistency. i don't have much time but that's not going to stop me from doing it.

that other anon was right, diet is a prerequisite. but you really start to look good when you add strength training exercises and cardio. even just the pump you get immediately afterward does wonders for your mood and appearance. it may seem counter-intuitive, but lifting and cardio actually make dieting easier - as long as you don't go overboard and then decide to give up. it evens out your energy levels and helps you control urge to overeat.

>>74783622
Yeah the last time this was posted, the 1-2 individuals talking about it thought the video was saying exercise is totally useless. The video says it has some benefit on weight loss but long term the body adapts to exercise so it isn't a magic bullet as commonly expected. It does in the short-term and the video highlights other benefits for exercise. This video is a good thing for the fats who "go to the gym all the time" but still eat like shit.
Anyone who is mad about the video's message or believes the video is telling people not to exercise has a cognitive deficit problem and lacks listening comprehension. Very sad to see people ITT in this state because they've lost agency by being retarded.

I do think the video does imply a bit too much that "if you exercise you basically burn the same as an office worker!!" which isn't really true. You will burn more, but if you get to a point you are exhausting yourself your passive energy burning will compensate, so generally not linear. I think the follow up video they have on diet will clarify it better, but they really should have mentioned that you can only lose weight as much as you eat and exercising does burn more, but not if you are eating to compensate. But the point was the change the perspective from "exercise to lose weight" to "exercise to be healthier"

>>74783826
>The video says it has some benefit on weight loss but long term the body adapts to exercise so it isn't a magic bullet as commonly expected.
Thats a good thing lol. Your work capacity goes up, so you train harder and burn even MORE calories. Just last night I was high on weed edibles at 2am and decided to do some elliptical for fun. I got into the music and looked up and i was somehow doing 270 strides per minute.

>Anyone who is mad about the video's message or believes the video is telling people not to exercise has a cognitive deficit problem and lacks listening comprehension. Very sad to see people ITT in this state because they've lost agency by being retarded.

>I do think the video does imply a bit too much that "if you exercise you basically burn the same as an office worker!!" which isn't really true.
Thats the problem. They spend so much time nailing that message into the viewers head and then spend 30 seconds saying you should exercise.

Yes.

Been plateauing at 195 for weeks now.
I need to cut even more I guess.

>>74784039
6k throughout the day? yes, the body is scary efficient at absorbing the calories
6k in half an hour? maybe not all of it but overwhelming majority of it

>if you lose weight and gain it slightly- even if its one kg, your liver fat gets worse

>>74784055
They would absorb all of it regardless if it was in a single meal or not.

>>74784039
Yes, that's how people get to 600 lbs

>>74783840
Sounds made up by spiteful dysgenic Jews.

>>74784063
In cases of extreme calorie overload in very short spaces of time, there are certain food groups you may fail to sufficiently digest. Certain sugars for example have fixed upper ceilings on how fast your body can absorb them from the food, and whilst it takes a serious effort, they can be overcome and you can intake more food than you can process. The same can happen with other food groups. In these instances you end up excreting otherwise usable materials, which means that you might intake somewhat less than you suggested - say 9k instead of 9.99k calories. If the body can't absorb the energy source, it can't utilise the calories from it.

Citation for glucose maximal absorbtion levels for example http://www.jbc.org/content/107/1/133.full.pdf

>>74784084
Is this related to why bodybuilders take insulin to absorb more food?

Eliptical for sure. Love that thing, its what gets me to the gym, I stay for a lift while im there. Fuck I need to start dropping cals again though, cut for 12mths and lost 100lbs but stopped tracking for the past 2 months but damn, I didnt realise what a bit of extra food could do for your lifts. I feel strong, I dont get as sore and all my joints feel ace. But, cutting time will have to start again soon, can feel myself starting to get a bit doughy again, maybe plus 10lbs since I stopped. Need to drop 20lbs to reach my final form.

Been out of it for almost a year, was down to 95kg before.
Used to work out 6 days a week for a year ensuring I went to the gym each day no matter what be it past midnight or during my work break, then I got sick and decided to take a few days off. Ruining that streak where I thought "I will be going to the gym" like it was a guarantee made me increasingly stop going. Removing exercise which is an active thing I do and need to plan each day made the mental diet aspect where I inversely have to stop myself from acting(buying, eating) increasingly fade from my mind.
>The diet is what matters regarding weight, not exercise

Been limiting calories to 1500 whilst still training for the past two weeks and I’ve bloated up like a balloon and look like total shit. Is this water retention or is my body just holding onto every calorie I consume?
I look so much worse than when I started cutting

>>74785240
they cant because they would be limited by everything else at that point
youre getting caught up in details, stop overthinking shit like this. stop doing unsustainable amounts of cardio and fix your fucking diet and stop being a pussy

>>74785247
if you train a lot, cortisol increases
if you put your body into a what i assume is a pretty steep caloric deficit (assuming you actually eat that amount), it puts stress on the body, cortisol increases
cortisol increasing means you hold onto a lot of water, its natural
try to get your recovery in order, eat more calories, burn more calories through low intensity cardio like taking a brisk walk etc, get your sleep amount and especially quality in order, lay off the caffeine

>>74785247
Fat cells usually fill with water before they go. You could also be filling your face and not telling us about it anon.

>>74785257
Makes sense. So it’s just temporary? I’m weary of upping the calories because I’m struggling with pretty bad body dysmorphia and have done for many years and I’m just going warrior mode on my body fat at this point.

>>74785265
I've done 1500 kcal and 3 x lifting per week since March. You get used to it. According to my gym's body analysis scale, I have lost zero muscle and exclusively fat since then. Unless you're much taller than me (I'm 183 cm) you're going to be fine

>>74785282
That’s good to hear. I was paranoid my body was cannibalising my gains instead of my fat and it annoyed me. When does the water weight go usually?

>>74785299

Weight loss slowed down a lot since I started going to the gym. But I'm not sad about it, just shows how much muscle I was losing before that.
