Lifting light is fine, but you should be aiming for overweight BMI before you try a serious body recomp. Our fat brains will workout and instantly want huge amounts of calories afterwards. That's fine if you're already skinny like most people on /fit/ are, but if you end up overeating to reward yourself for going to the gym (and you may feel hungry or denied of pleasure if you restrict yourself) you are ultimately working against yourself.

275->208 I'm still a fatass but I no longer feel my heart beating in my wrist or at night. I also noticed I no longer get short of breath from just walking around.

>>75035903
Reposting since it was at the end of last thread

A couple years ago, people kept coming up to me and asking how I did it (240 > 175 in about half a year). Some said they didn't want to ask because it sounded rude while others wanted to praise me. It apparently inspired some people to start going to the gym. Everyone started talking to me about their gym routines.

Lived in Japan for 2023, so nobody there even knew how much I used to weigh. When my friends saw an older picture of me on my phone they were in shock. Even though I gained back over 20 lbs since coming home, everyone thought I looked the same. I've since worked it all off (but I've hardly seen anyone in that time), and and now I'm trying to go significantly lower.

Reaching that point in the weight loss where I can see the loose skin will be noticeable and the stretch marks even moreso. I'm probably never going to be conventionally attractive without clothes. It is what it is, I'm still going to make it.

>>75035903
410 to around 305, so still morbidly obese but a huge difference
Biggest thing is I can walk with no issues now, enjoying an hour and a half walk to the park and back with family is not strenuous at all, would not have been possible a year ago. Also has opened up easy hikes for recreation again
Can see my arm veins again, getting blood drawn recently was quick and easy instead of taking 5-10 minutes and multiple nurses jabbing around
Being able to wear 2X instead of 4X feels nice, becoming normal-sized is going to be a trip but I expect to get there. Even at how big I am now I look down at my thighs and can't believe how much smaller they are compared to how huge they were six months ago
>>75036123
>Some said they didn't want to ask because it sounded rude
Have noticed this too, for people who haven't seen you in a while they'll definitely notice right away but a lot won't say anything until you bring it up yourself. I think it comes from the onus everyone feels to never mention that you were/are a big fat bastard so it's still like "oh I shouldn't mention that"

62lbs down. All the clothes I bought before summer are too big for me now which is a hassle but it’s also a good feeling. I can see the overall outline of abdominal muscles but I still have atleast another 15-20 to go before I see any definition there. I see arm veins when I’m lifting but not when I’m at rest. I’ve been sleeping better but that could also be a product of sobriety. Setting goals and reaching them feels good too.

Obese. Yes imo

>>75036436
lift while you lose weight, you will not regret it

>>75036445
Recomping is way harder to maintain than cutting and building

>>75036452
news to me, I'm lifting getting newbie gains and losing 3.5 lbs a week

>>75036335
Have you tried frying your chicken instead of boiling it?

>>75036436
>>75036452
i didn't say recomp, i said lift while you lose weight. Too many people will neglect it thinking something along the lines "i'll get lean first and then bulk up while lifting, so it doesn't matter if i lose more muscle right now" and it's nearly always a mistake. unless you're like 500 pounds and would probably hurt yourself moving at all
you will look better as you slim down, and the results will be more motivating
you will grow accustomed to it and start learning to integrate exercise into your life earlier
the (admittedly small) amount of muscle you build off newbie gains will help increase your CO

there's no real reason to delay it. of course you won't build large amounts of muscle while cutting but that doesn't matter, waiting until you're thin to lift doesn't do anything for you
of course the major focus will still be on losing fat, not gaining muscle. but lift anyway. it's not a fatal mistake if you don't but it's an unnecessary delay

>>75036480
Yeah not worth the effort to me and technically healthier this way.
1lb of prediced frozen chicken breast
1lb mixed frozen veggies
let them cook until the chicken is almost white, drain and add low calorie sauce to stir fry them (japanese bbq sauce)

>>75036489
Why not at least sear your chicken in a tbsp of oil? You only need a tiny layer of maybe 20 calories to make the chicken instantly taste better with caramelization rather than rubber cubes
I make fried rice - end of the day, healthy fats like sesame oil will keep you satiated without compromising on taste. Just watch how much you add

>>75035903
280 to 220lbs.
Doesn't really feel different health wise but my fat face going away gives me more confidence to go outside now.

>>75036488
Not the anon that asked for advice, but I'm also 6'1 and 220lbs from 240lbs, I don't notice any gains in strength, I don't think my deficit is even that big (500 calories + the ones burnt from exercise as a bonus) and I've been eating a gram of protein per lb of lean miscle mass like everyone recommends.

>>75036488
Lifting to preserve muscle while trying to lose fat from actual fat person stage is counterproductive. At the end of the day, the goal should be to bumrush healthy weights. The fat person appetite takes care of the subsequent bulk because the myofibrils built up from years of carrying excess pounds still exist. "Reinflating" muscle fibers is way easier than what regular body builders do when on a bulk which is build up totally new levels of hypertrophy. Stop giving shit advice that'll end up trapping people in a cycle of minimal progress, demoralization, and return to unhealthy habits. It's a vicious cycle for many
>>75036866
Because the other anon is bullshitting you. Just focus on basic cardio (at least a daily walk) and maybe calisthenics if you can handle it
When you get to 160-170 (solidly lean), then you can start a good clean bulking phase

>>75036756

I mealprepped a shredded chicken dish and it tastes like fucking shit. A complete waste of food.

Can someone please recommend me some recipes? I need something:
1. I can prepare in just an oven (no stovetop)
2. Savory
3. I can prep on Sunday and eat until Friday
I usually use Chicken Thighs just cuz they taste better.

Does anyone have any advice for helping their friends & family lose weight?
One of my best friends is morbidly obese, 180kg / 400lb. He's 30 now but will probably going to be dead before he reaches 40, and I really want to help him avoid that.
He does want to lose weight, and we talk about it often. But he has depression, a lot of delusional ideas about weight loss, and I don't think he really understands how bad the problem is.
Because of that, none of my advice is sticking. I know it's his individual journey, but is there anything that I can do to help him?

>>75036181
Use Retinol cream, probably the only proved cream compound that helps skin "stick to the muscle" a bit, but if you are dropping from severely obese then it will help less. I dropped from 230 pounds to 200 and now I am trying to drop to 175, so far no lose skin aside from stretch marks from my chest, thans to hypertrophy

>>75037216
I like using mfp to count what you are eating. It makes every piece of food a decision and tells you your goal intake.

>>75037189
egg bites :)
Although baked chicken just seems like the most practical since no stove top.

>>75037216
Beat him up untill he can't eat

>>75037249
I've tried to get him on MFP for ages. I recommended just logging his calories for a few weeks even without a deficit so that he could find his maintenance and get used to logging it. But he never even downloaded it.
The next time I saw him after he said he would try it out, he told me that he thought he should eat more because he was getting too tired at the gym.

>>75037333
Maybe you should explain the reason he's tired is because he weighs 400lbs

>>75035903
>What does it feel like?
Good but I'm usually more focused on defeating my current plateau than cheering over the progress. Sometimes I am awash with a buzz of positive energy though.

>changes you notice
It's more comfortable to stand, sit and whatever without such a big gut. My computer chairs don't creak and I fit into my old clothes that I couldn't wear for years. Even if I didn't care about long term benefits to health or people's opinions [I do] I still think it's worth it because having a fat cut just is physically uncomfortable.

>>75037333
Tell him he's too fat to get muscles, he needs to focus on fat loss which he's clearly failing at. I think you've got to be harsh.

Fuck, I honestly don't have anything suitable for meal prep for an oven, but there's a very simple yet satisfying dish I cook in the oven from time to time:
>Some form of sosig (think Johnsonville or better, other forms of meat will work too but you'll have to dial the time in yourself).
>Yellow potatoes. It's better if they have thin skin, so you don't have to peel them.
I'm usually aiming at about 600~700 calories worth of sausages and 300~400 calories worth of potatoes
>Wash the potatoes, cut them in eights, throw them in a bowl, dry them up with a paper towel or something
>Add a bit of oil (I use EVOO), weight and count the calories. You don't need a lot but you need like 5~10 grams to cover potatoes properly
>Add salt, pepper, your preferred spices if you have any (I like red pepper, dry basil and oregano also work nicely even if they'll mostly burn to be honest - they create a nice crust if anything)
>Toss the potatoes in oil and spices, load them onto a tray, and put in a preheated oven (I'm doing it on a "grill" mode that's just a bit hotter than the highest temp my oven usually goes to, which is 250C) for 30 minutes (you might have to dial that up to 45~50 minutes depending on your oven)
>Meanwhile, score the sosig (or other meat), and toss it in the residue oil and spices from the potatoes (you'll need to add more salt if you are just using chicken or something)
>When the potatoes have 10 minutes left to go, toss the sosig right on top of them and continue baking.
That's it.
Typing it out probably took longer than the active work involved in actually cooking it.
You can add a bit of butter to the potatoes after they are done, tastes great. I usually end up with a portion of about 1200~1300 kcal.
Pairs well with gherkins.

Consider looking into meat pies. You can bake them in bulk, as well as prep and freeze them (without baking).
Stuff like uchpuchmak or rasstegai should have fairly decent macros I think.

Healthy weight (assuming you're using BMI) is a surprisingly lenient category. Some people look puffy and fat, and some like skeletons. I don't know if the numbers have been shifted to account for everyone being over-weight or why that is.

i have weird stripling along the langer lines of my thighs, which happens to be where fat most easily accumulates on my body. It looks kind of like if you lightly score a sand zen garden with a tiny rake: well-ordered parallel lines of tiny impressions on my skin. I've lost about 20kg so far and I'm thinking this may be the start of loose skin. It kind of tracks with image examples I see in google images.
On one hand it's sad that I'm gonna get loose skin since I'm only about halfway through. On the other hand if I'm gonna get bad loose skin anywhere then the thighs are the best place, since i don't really care much how they look compared to stomach, chest and face. Guess you lose some you win some. Hope I don't get it too bad elsewhere.

Pic not mine but off google, left looks similar to mine, though mine are more near the groin rather than down near the knees.

>>75037512
Yeah that's perplexing lmao. I'm currently at 90kg pretty evenly and trying to finally break that plateau. Once I get to 83-85kg range I can be a bit happier.

>>75038467
No one ever truly makes it

>>75035903
In late highschool I went from 180lb to 130lb (5'4") I went from a social outcast to a desirable element. The lack of ass fat makes sitting more uncomfortable. All sorts of clothes fit and while self consciousness is ingrained after a childhood of being fat the confidence increase is evident. It's easier to participate in social and public events. You can take long walks and take part in physical/sporty social events without a second thought.

I gained in back and more as a young adult and then dieted again, 230lb to 145lb. At this point the biggest difference is I felt lighter, healthier, had more endurance, and enjoyed the increase of confidence more than I did as a teenager.

Now in current year I once again gained back all the wait because I had two children, started at 220lb now I'm at 206lb, now my focus is being healthier and living longer for my family. I feel embarrassed for gaining it back twice but it's so difficult to be consistent with low TDEE maintenance after growing up as a fat kid (thanks parents), the psychological aspect of weight-loss should not be downplayed

I had a health checkup today.
It's the first time in ~4 years I had normal blood pressure.

>>75038467
I reached my goal weight, decided I felt alright there and managed to stay there without efforts for year. Then a whole bunch of shit happened to my life and I stress ate through all of it, and now I'm here again. I didn't open /fat/ once when I was fit tho, so I suspect you're only going to get replies from other fattier

>>75038467
I reached a 23 BMI and gave up. Now, after 2 years, I'm still at 23 BMI and finally going to try to go lower than that. The most impressive thing is that I maintained the same weight for 2 years without dieting. I eat whatever my mom made, plus chocolate, cookies, cakes, burgers, etc. This is insane.

Most fatty contest completionists have remained fit or at worst, a lot less fat than they were from the start. You have some slingshot candidates, but even they are still trying after regaining the weight. People here are not the 99 percentile of the general population who regain it all in five years, people here are actively fighting against regression to the norm

Great transformation. Congratulations!

Oh, that's legitimate exercise. Still, best to veer on the side of caution with the calculator, else you have stalls or in worst cases, gains. Don't listen to that reddit crap about "atypical anoxeria", if you're in /fat/ you can probably afford to go on a larger deficit.

Back from 1.5 weeks vacation.. only 10 pounds gained but hopefully means a quick loss now that I'm starting diet proper again, but also showed me how whatbi used to est was probably way too much(this gain was prolly just from all the drinking)

>>75035903
Started at 315
Currently 236
I see and feel nothing. My legs, hips, ass, stomach, and man tits are exactly as big as they were 80 lbs ago.
I still have pain when I sleep.
I still can't run more than a minute at a time without choking for air through burning throat and lungs.
I still have no muscle definition.
Nobody notices I lost the weight because my body composition is exactly the same.
My watch says I went from 42% body fat to 33% but it's meaningless.
Things don't start to make a difference until you reach sub 20% body fat. Then it all clicks.
The hardest part is, coming so far with 0 feeling of progress, and running up against a brick wall plateau of weight loss. The struggle is real and I can't get below 230. My body yearns to put the mass back on, and I feel burnt out.

>>75035903
>What does it feel like?
Felt like i was still a fat fuck and didnt matter because i gained it all back

>>75039014

>>75039024
I've gone from 280 and 184 and I know how you feel, I looked the same for a long time, because you're still just fat for a lot of that, only less so.
But the changes do become more dramatic and obvious once you get to like 200 and below, at least they did for me. Can actually see muscle on my arms and legs (not stomach though, still too fat there)
Keep fighting brother, it gets better

Thanks friend and good work to you. I have a lot going on medical wise, my endo suspects I have a pituitary adenoma causing my super low FSH, total, free and bioavailable test. This could be a big part of why it's been such a struggle for me. I'm actually hoping there is a tumor there because then I can at least feel some relief to why things have been such a challenge. I know it's not meant to be easy, but there ARE variable levels of struggle for each individuals journey and fuck me if I feel absolutely hamstrung. Feels like some invisible force is actively fighting me to succeed. I'll keep fighting in the meantime though while waiting for answers from my doctors. No fucking way I fall back into my old ways and blow up again. I'm over this shit.

When you get to your goal weight, will you date fat chicks?

>>75039014
>only 10 pounds gain
Anon that's a lot. Here's a tip that had me LOSE weight on vacation - just eat half portions. Going out to eat? Only eat half. Family member bake a lasagna? only eat half of what you are served. Works like a charm

>>75039147
fat chicks are horrible. they dont even compensate like some fat men try to.

>>75039147
no way fag, they are disgusting

>>75039147
Nah. If I could be guranteed a fat chick that would put as much effort into weight loss as me, maybe, but motivating other fatties lose weight is SO GODDAMN HARD. I feel like I'm interacting with my younger self giving him all the advice he needs to be happy and the fat fuck just doesn't listen

>>75039147
Date no, fugg yes.

>>75039147
The entire time I’ve been ultra fat 240+ was with a chubby girl. She isn’t a whale by any means but she definitely has a big round ass and tits and small belly. She carries it well trust me she looks good in a bathing suit to 90% of men.

Will I break up with her? Honestly it is a big possibility. I’m growing tired of our relationship and when I see ultra thin girls younger than her I feel so much more sexually excited.

And weight loss is really goddamn hard when your girl wants to eat birria tacos and italian subs every time you see each other.

>>75039210
How the hell do you attract a good looking girl while being that fat?

I just want to get rid of this disgusting excess fat, I gate being skinny fat.

>>75039151
Is a good thought for sure, b7t I was down to eating 2 burgers a day during the trio cause all the American guys I went with wanted was burgers, even when we went to an upscale place, but we drank about 4L of atleast 80 proof liqour over the week.. think that's where I fuckered up

>>75039219
nta but personality, confidence and good sense of humor is the holy trinity, if you have all 3 looks don't matter 90% of the time
One of the reasons I only started my weightloss at 29 was because I never had any problems with my sex life despite being 317 pounds so I never felt any kind social pressure to change. Since I was fat since childhood I realized I never knew how I looked underneath all the fat and that life, my friends and my family are too fun to die from a heart attack at 40

>>75039219
well when I got her I was about 220 and had been lifting a little.. but honestly?

6’0, nice enough face (jawline could still use work), white, good hair, always smell really good, can make her laugh and do silly things, show her some real music, get her drunk, fuck her hard — congratulations now she is obsessed with you; being funny, feigning confidence, and putting on the pressure goes a lot farther than you think trust me

and girls with a booty don’t mind some pudge believe it or not, there is more to getting laid than being really skinny — I have some skeleton friends who are absolute pussy repellent because of the general vibe they give off

obviously some 5’7 balding manlet might not have the same ability but most people will truly surprise themselves when they put in real effort

I'm gonna have sex with so many fat women when I get skinny

I've been doing PSMF on 800 kcals a day for 3 weeks and cut a lot of fat real quick.
Maybe 3 more weeks for 6-7kg more fat loss and I am finally done for this cut.
I even built some muscle on that heavy deficit thanks to the doctors special sauce.

>>75039305
you look huge bro your traps are nasty

>>75035903
Ivd noticed fat missing in alot of places you dint notice while clothed, but I'm noticing that I've got alot of loose skin on my back especially

>>75039389
Traps just shrugs 2-3 times a week after the workout for 3 sets till failure (minimum 12 reps).

Shoulders are bit more complicated (pic related):

I focus mainly on side delts (rear delts I do on my pull/back day).
I have a shoulder A and shoulder B day (but I do triceps also on that day).
Just my shoulder workout looks like pic related.
High intensity, medium volume, medium frequency and focusing on the long length position of muscle, meaning the stretched part.
Thats why I prefer cable exercises over dumbbells and smith machine, over free weight OHP. You can easily do a few more half reps in the stretched position for more intensity and hypertrophy.

I weight the same but my waist is 4cm down from 2 weeks ago, I honestly didn't take care of my diet so I take this small victory lol

>>75039305
PSMF works really well but its fucking hell to live with, especially because it expects you to lift still on a massive deficit.

>>75039305
What a weird feeling. I normally would feel mad that you're showing off a body that good but I don't. I'm actually ecstatic that I still have such a long road ahead. It's like motivation fuel. Insane results man. May the cut gods give you the strength to push oat your goals.

>>75039487
Dont stress it, at the beginning of the year I had a deadly disease and was bed ridden for 1 month in the hospital, gaining 20-30kg fat over that time and the months I had to recover after.
I had to learn how to walk, talk, shower and everything.
Thankfully muscle memory and sticking to my program and diet made me bounce back really quickly. That picture is probably 2-3 months after I started lifting again after I had to pause for 9 months...
Just stick to it and you will make it! Not everything is as easy as it looks and people have ups and downs.

What do I do to not lose as much muscle/only the fat? I lost the 40ish kg by literally wasting away playing video games all day at work and sleeping 12 hours. cut all social life and activities, and it was pretty bad for my mental health.
I can just do it again but surely there is a better way. I'm going to be under 100 by jan 1st either way.

Hey lads. some quick stats and a question.
>5'8, started at 300 lbs last year, now 220
last year, my main lifts at 3x5 were as follows
>bench 2pl8, now down to 185
>OHP 155 now down to 135
>squat 260 now down to 225
I had a few injuries (sprained wrist, some sort of shoulder injury, and knee issues) that attributed to the strength loss on top of being in a 750ish calorie deficit for a year. I'm getting 130-160 grams of protein a day, but can't get any of my lift numbers up. Do i need to increase protein or am I just kind of fucked until I start bulking? thx in advance

>>75039768
A cut will always result In a loss of strength to some extent. You lift during a cut to maintain muscle mass and avoid as much loss as possible. You won't travel the same distance with only half a tank of gas as you'd do with a full one.

>>75039681
more protein, lift consistently, smaller calorie deficit

you know this though so the real answer is trying harder and building habits

>>75039847
I tried the gym for like 4 months and couldnt keep up, I work for 11 hours a day and i cant fucking wake up any earlier than I already do, but the gym is always packed after work. no space at home since I live with other flatmates who dont care about themselves.
What I can do is stay active, walk more at work and hike on weekends, I can easily squeeze one gym session in a week on the weekends too for just arms and chest.

>>75039956
add six sets of push ups and pull ups to failure 6/7 days a week

>Finally start stretching
>Suddently feel like a new man
Whoa........

Lost 45 pounds in 12.5 weeks. Started at 278, weighed 233 yesterday. I'm 5'11. Subsisted on almost nothing but pistachios and chicken every day. I work warehousing so I lift boxes and shit for multiple hours for 5 days every week.

>>75037810
truth. that's why I'm still cutting down despite being 24.5 bmi

>>75040113
Never really tried to lose weight my entire life so I have no idea how much muscle I'm really losing. Losing 3.6 pounds a week sounds kinda bad, but work at the warehouse still feels the same. If anything it's easier for me to lift boxes these days.
I look online and see people saying losing more than 3 pounds a week is asking for trouble, and I've been trying to maintain a caloric diet to lose only 2 pounds a week, and only just recently have I done the math and realized I've been losing much more on average.

>>75040172
1-2 pounds a week is what doctors recommend, because they are legally liable, it's what they recommend to old ladies as well, a completely blanket universal number
if you're an otherwise healthy young male who's above 30BMI / 30% BF you can lose a lot more with minimal muscle loss, which becomes essentially nothing if you keep protein above 100g a day and do minimal strength exercise

>>75040197
Hmm, I see. If that's true then that makes things less stressful for me. I'll just keep doing what I've been doing and eat my 1500 calorie pistachio/chicken diet.
Thanks

Any anons use VR to help lose weight?
I have a really hard time pushing myself when exercising to keep going
Obviously it's not lifting, but I've been lifting as well and trying to use VR as cardio and it's kinda working

Beat Saber on expert and other games makes me sweat like nothing else. I guess the bing bing wahoo makes it easier for me to keep going. I can stay in beat saber for an hour, but after like 2 minutes of just exercising I just want to leave.
There's a calories burned and minute counter built in too. It's not going to be exact or anything but pushes me to keep going which is what I need
According to it I burned 260 calories in 44 minutes earlier which flew by.

I know whether I shoved my gullet, being off by 100-200 calories doesn't matter

>>75040874
Yes but:
- stick to whole milk, to get optimal nutrition and satiety and stuff.
- a gallon of whole milk is 2400 calories, so maybe don't go through a full gallon a day.
- "no man made chemicals" is highly dependent on where you source your milk. you'll want milk from pasture grass-fed cows, to try and minimize the amount of FDA-allowable puss in your food supply (up to 400,000,000 puss cells per liter of milk can be sold to you legally.) Not having the cows stuck in an industrial cowschwitz facility might also improve their milk's nutritional value.
- probably don't do this for too long, and take multivitamins, fish oil, etc, etc.

As the other anon mentioned dont take the numbers as being accurate but rather just as a metric of how hard you went
Its good exercise and definitely worth doing if you are too lazy to do cardio the normal way but definitely cant give you the same gains as lifting weights
Also going to your original question, any form of cardio is good to do for various health reason but it will never directly drop the weight off you, thats 99% dependant on your calories

Winning is eating at a steady, low calorie pace so that you never miss eating or being hungry. Don't fall into unhealthy habits like fasting and binging

>>75042889
This. A lot of people here dont seem to realise that trading one eating disorder for another will not work long term

Rather than focusing on not eating you should be focusing on eating right to get the right nutrients and also doing at least 200 minutes of cardio a week.

The health profile benefits from doing cardio will make you eat less naturally. Trying to force willpower through not eating when youre a food addict with a broken hormone profile wont work. A steady diet and exercise is the best route. Not fasting

How do you walk so much in public as a fat ass? I hate feeling embarrassed or humiliated and unless I do a light jog and I'm dripping sweat I can see smirks and stink eye, a couple of college girls laughed at me the other day. I try to be secretive about my Pokémon shit lest I look like a bigger fag

I cut out high calorie drinks, switched to a very small breakfast, and a relatively small lunch. However, I'm also trying to avoid large calorie deficits because I'm terrified of excessive loose skin. I'm ending up eating dinner that's larger than I'm comfortable with to stay within the range I'm targeting (not quite as much as when I would binge, but not what I want to be normal).
Should I care about that and change something or is it not a big deal? If so, should I force myself to eat breakfast and a larger lunch, or should I drink some of the calories? To be honest, I'm not unhappy with the amount of breakfast or lunch at all, and I would much rather have a soda than either of them, but I get the impression that most people would not consider that the wise option.
Obviously this is only a problem in the (hopefully) short-term until my calorie target is lower.

>>75043019
Dont worry so much about loose skin, just take care if your skin (exfoliate&moisturize) and lift to build muscle to fill it back out. Try diet soda if you're fiending that hard, and eat what you're comfortable with. Don't force feed or starve yourself if it's harmful yo your long term goals

what does this mean

>>75043228
I don't find that cardio suppresses my appetite either. Maybe HIIT does.

Lost fifteen pounds so far in the last six weeks or so, mostly by eating less. I almost never take pictures of myself or willingly show up in someone else's pictures, but I got curious and just took a few. Man, I looked awful. My profile is horrendous as far as how bloated my face looks, my facial hair was hiding it facing the mirror head on. And I didn't realize how thin my hair was getting in the back near the root. I can't help being bald, but the last thing I wanna be is bald AND fat. Especially when I'm trying to get a career going. That much more motivation to get my shit together.

>>75039024
Get under 200 and you'll start to notice changes. I went from 238 to about 185 and I really didn't look any different at 210, as soon as I got below 200 though I could run comfortably and that helped a ton. 200 seems to be the magic number for me. My weight will creep up to 195 and that's when I kick it in the ass now and fast or whatever it takes to get back in the 180's

Do you have a dry well near you? If not then there isn't anything you can really do.
Probably the most impactful is to get super fit yourself and show him what he could be by living the chad life and being extremely enthusiastic. You may even have to start calling him a fat fuck every time you see him. Either way, you should start to move on a bit with your life.
Sometimes moving on from people is the only way people can face real consequences for their life choices and it'll protect you when his health seriously declines.
Yes it's harsh but you cannot save somebody who doesn't want to be saved. Not everybody will make it. At some point you have every right to think of yourself. When people tell you it's not your fault with what happens to a guy like that they really mean it.

Any suggestions for non-sweet oats recipes?
I've been finding overly sweet flavors kinda sickening, and it's been hard to finish my usual "Overnight oats with fruit".

I especially need something I can prepare before hand... Either all at once on the weekend or just the night before.

>>75043671
just google savory oats recipe

leanbeefpatty just posted a video where she does savory oats for dinner, i didn't even know that was a thing

I don't particularly care about macros if it's my first meal after days of fast but I usually end up around 0.5g of carbs per pound. This is not based on a conscious choice, it's just an average. I try to do cardio on refeed days so I kind of justify eating carbs for dinner

I just make regular balanced meals
This is a favorite of mine, I just double the chicken, dump in more frozen veggies and eat 2 portions + fruit as dessert.
Alternatively you can use the same recipe to make "chow mein" with whole wheat spaghetti.

Happened three times in a row. I never actually had bile rise up or anything but should I take it slower post rowing? I don't get anything like that if it's just lifts. (Possibly because I lift DYEL amounts)

>>75044151
Same here, with a consistent small calorie deficit my urge to binge eat is easy to give into

>>75037422
Those are some huge fucking pickles.

I lost like 100lbs once
my strategy went something like this:

the biggest issue for me regarding snacking, taking seconds or too big of servings etc is that it comes down to an internal "to eat or not to eat" debate in my head that I always inevitably failed due to non existent will power

the solution to this problem ended up starting with completely unrelated reflexive habit forming and learning to fight the impulse to eat with another impulse

basically if I saw anything out of place in my home, I would deal with it instantly. for example if i see a piece of trash, i would go to walk by it, but say "no" in my mind and go back and pick it up and throw it out

basically you do this with EVERYTHING YOU CAN, everything, even the most minuscule insignificant example helps, you see ANYTHING out of place, or there's any small chore you need to do, you do it. maybe you're a disgusting cretin and don't wash your hands sometimes, well you do now, and if you leave the washroom without washroom you say "no" and turn around and wash.

the key is that it doesn't actually matter how small the task is because quantity and consistency is what matters"


with repetition you build the reflexive habit of saying "no" and doing what youre supposed to do,

once you get the habit going thn you can you apply this to eating,

basically instead of having that "do i or dont I eat" debate in your head, you remove the debate all together with a pure knee jerk "no" . you win the debate by not participating in the debate.

if youre like me , what this will look like is you getting up and going to the kitchen over and over and over again to eat, then saying "no" and going to sit down again. its not one time thing, and you will get up to snack several times an hour for days/weeks, but you just have to cut that thought process with a pure impulsive knee jerk "no" and go an sit down again every time

>>75044199
then its just a race against time for you to mentally adjust to not snacking and stuff. you have to keep that reflexive "no" habit going for long enough that your body and mind adjust and the cravings become less and less compulsive as time goes on

>>75044154
You probably need a longer end of workout cooldown where you more gradually lower your activity level.

>>75043698
I realized after starting dieting that the portions I used to eat I only ate because I could, not because I needed to. Now I always eat my smaller portion and feel I could eat more, but then after a couple minutes I feel full

I am sisyphus pushing my gut up the hill

>>75044252
Is it possible to learn this power? I never feel full until I've absolutely overstuffed myself. If I eat less than that I'm hungry the rest of the day and I just have to endure the constant cravings.

>>75039287
>be funny
how 2 become funny?

>>75039219
Women like a guy who likes himself. Most fat fucks hate themselves for being fat fucks and women pick up on that. They're like biologically tuned to be repulsed not only by fat guys, but also by guys who don't like who they are or trying to be someone they're not.

The secret to getting women to like you is to first learn to be comfortable with who you are and to like yourself for it. Being tall, generally good looking, wealthy, and charismatic with good social skills help a lot too.

>>75044281
I'm doing that, the part I'd like to learn is how to eat less and then magically feel satisfied instead of having to endure cravings the rest of the day.

>>75035903
Gone from 360 to 256 since March. My brain thinks I'm still the same but every now and again I catch glimpses of the man I'll eventually look like. Mostly it's my general fitness like walking up a steep hill and maintaining a conversation without worry or being able to pick shit up off the floor without it effort.

Beef makes me feel great.

>>75035903
Went from 386lbs to 154lbs

On the plus side: I like standing up without feeling pain in my knees or back. I like being able to stand around without shifting from one foot to the other. I like being able to get out of bed feeling refreshed and energetic. I like not having to worry about being too fat to sit/stand on stuff without it breaking. I like not being sore after doing even the most basic physical exertion. I like being able to run and jump without worrying about hurting my knees/feet. I like not feeling weighed down all the time.

On the negative side: I've got a shitton of loose skin and it's probably never going to get better without surgery and I'm ashamed to take off my shirt around people. Girls often give me the "ick" face when they see all my loose skin and its hard to warn them ahead of time, you tell them you used to be fat and that you've got loose skin but they think its like stretchmarks, not hanging flaps. I've kept the weight off for over a year now and the loose skin hasn't improved at all.

>>75044346

>>75044349
Well done bro
Sucks that you have loose skin tho. Maybe see the excess skin as some battle scar

How do people even maintain those bodybuilding diets when they cook THAT bad?

Fat bros.. Beer is slowing me down by a LOT but I'm struggling to quit. I drink about 2100kcal of beer per week, which is on average 2 daily beers (Some days I drink none, but sometimes 2, and sometimes maybe 4). I would like to reduce this intake to maybe no more than 2 beers per week.

Yesterday I drank a single beer, and today I'm aiming for drinking none. But holy shit the cravings I'm having. Basically I built a habit of drinking 1 beer before lunch, and 1 in the evening before dinner (occasionally could be more than that). And I'm struggling a lot not to drink. It's crazy how addictive it is, even if I wasn't abusing it heavily and wouldn't be considered an alcoholic by most. Even a two daily beers habit is proving crazy hard for me to break. Is there anyone else on the same boat?

>>75044749
Just drink 0, it's literally that easy.

>>75044546
My gunt has done that and it's both amusing to mess with and absolutely hideous to look at. Got like a drooping front butt and I can't wait to lose the last 70lbs so I can try and get lean as shit for just 1 summer of my life.

>>75044777
Based holy trips of luck.
I wish it was that simple anon. My mouth is watering right now, imagining a relaxing, refreshing, fizzy, tasty beer. My brain is obviously suggesting it as something very positive for me, almost as if I need to drink it to survive.
Fighting against this impulse isn't easy at all. The dopamine release I get from beer is just too good.

>>75044749
there'll be cravings for at least a couple of weeks because in that amount it's mostly psychological. Best advice would be to just don't have beer around the house so even if the craving is too much you can't just give into it, that's what helped me to stop eating those extremely low cal no sugar diet candies every time I had a craving for something sweet, they didn't impact my weightloss progress but I started feeling like an addict.

I don't actually believe you were a drunk for 10 years then suddenly stopped, i think you're just larping, otherwise you'd probably have something more useful to say

>>75044866
Not that guy but I was unemployed for all 34 years of my life until the point I got a job as a electrician and I've held this job for 2 years now. Stop making excuses. You can get a job, you can stop drinking, you can go back to school, you can lose weight, its not over. Its not too late to make a change. When the urge to relapse into your old habits arises you fight it. You might not always win but aim to win more than you lose and never admit defeat.

I'm not that anon, but I had another vice where I just stopped.

If you actually want to quit, you can, I used to be addicted to pharmaceutical stimulants, one day I decided to stop, slept for a week, and never took them again.

How do you guys spend your day? Eating is just so fun and it tickles my brain so well, I cannot spend a few hours without craving something. Even right now I want to stuff my face full of something.

I don't know how to get rid of this eating disorder anymore, I binge, feel like shit, purge in weird ways. Chips and chocolate is just so good, I am 187lbs and I really want to lose 10-20 more pounds but I just, cannot stop the craving. I stopped drinking beer last year and it really helped, I've turned to Vodka and it's great, makes me feel less bloated but fucks up my insides more, toilet in the morning is hell.

I have a very skinnyfat body, when I started working out and losing weight in the beginning of this year I went down 15lbs but it made my boobs so apparent, people started mistaking me for a girl at work. My waist gets thin but it shows off my hips and boobs even more. I just don't know what to do anymore. I hate wearing tshirts, and summer has been hell. At least I could hide my body under coats and hoodies in other seasons.

I am 20 years old, and I don't really care about having a girlfriend but it's just so hard to go out and see skinny people enjoy their life, I feel like I have to hide my appearance so people won't have their days ruined by the way I look.

Eating is my only escape, I get paid peanuts at work (I live in a 3rd world country) and my major at school is basically a dead end. I really don't know what to do anymore. My metabolism is fucking my social and family life beyond belief, at the minimum I spend 20 minutes in the toilet and that's with coffee and cigarettes.When I use laxatives and it kills my sleep since it's strong and wakes me up at 5 am, and I have to take atleast one more really bad toilet break in the day.

I am very envious of you who lost the weight or trying to, like, that is amazing that you cut your unhealthy habits and did that. But I just can't do it, I wake up and the only time I'm truly happy is when I eat.

Mind = broken

I don't see anywhere in your long post any mention of eating healthy. Like, what's your diet like when you're NOT binging?

It's probably unhealthy non-filling processed slop. Start eating healthier, eating more, aim for at least 100g of protein every single day, get them from meat (which you cook yourself from scratch) and diary (lean heavily on diary if you don't have a lot of money). Just eat protein with every single meal.

If you're always full of good stuff, you will reduce the cravings for garbage. Being full of protein will give you energy, and it will all be better from there.

Also eat veggies, to help with your toilet issues. Green leafy vegetables with every meal. Tomato, carrots, onions, cucumber, etc. Stop smoking, stop drinking alcohol. Reduce coffee. Don't use laxatives.

Also, post your titties, I'm also curious.

>>75044950

>>75044988
should be dairy, not diary
and in my head this includes eggs, which are goated for protein in a budget.

>>75044919
>want to become a surgeon? just go to medical school
Yes, that is exactly how it works, If you want to do something just do it, you don't need an elaborate 15 step plan to start, you can figure it out as you go, if you don't meet the requirements go study until you meet them.

I lost 141lbs until now. I have a Jawline, I can see forearm veins, if I flex REAAAAL hard I can see the beginning of a bicep vein. I also can just walk into any clothing store nowadays and just buy something that fancies me. Bought a DBZ hoodie when I was on vacation, and the only size they had was M, my fat mind immediately went "Ah well, too bad I don't fit that" but I tried in the fitting room anyway and it FIT. I can actually buy clothes in M/L sizes now without thinking about it too much.

Keep going anons, time will pass anyway. Stay on the grind.

Hey other anons, what would happen if for a whole year, a person were restrained in a straight jacket? Ankles bound to thighs, holes (including throat) stuffed with 8 inch dildos where the throat dildo was partially hollowed for feeding (oats mixed with spit, cum, vitamins, protein and occasionally laced with psylocibiin to disorient, ecstasy to arouse, and OxyContin to create physical dependency and conflate the taste of cum with feeling good). Other details: this setup would include a blindfold and a hood with ear padding to completely cut off his senses. He would be on his knees in a crawl space for 16 hours a day and his legs would be untied for 2 hours of treadmill, after which he would be sedated, stripped, allowed to evacuate his bowels, bathed, restrained and returned to the crawl space. Once every 2-3 weeks he would join me in bed -fully restrained- and enjoy the comforts of a mattress and blanket instead of the cold damp crawl space. After the year was done, would this hypothetical femboy have a bad enough case of Stockholm that, combined with the gratitude of the occasional trivial kindness (like sleeping in a bed) I could take her out in public like a real gf? Interested in reading this board’s opinion. What would this hypothetical femboy be like if he was conscious and unrestrained and unplugged for the first time after a whole year of imprisonment and deprivation.

chicken, beef, pork, (lean) ground beef, fish. one portion for lunch and one for dinner. chicken breast is the best but can get boring if you cook it the same way always.

eggs and milk are good if you're on a budget, or as a supplement, but if you can afford to eat meat 3 meals a day do that
