How many /fat/ users are regularly fasting for periods 24 hours or longer
>>75110699None, only fastards
>>75110699I always recommend everyone to try and fast for three days at least once, but not for the purposes of losing weight per se.And I don't use fasting as a way to manage my weight either.
>>75110699I do regularly, just not atmWeek A: Eat TDEE -500 calWeek B: Fast Mon ~ Fri, re-feed on Sat/SunToday is week A for me.
Confess
>>75110699Im rolling 2-7 day fasts because I actually want to lose weight
>>75110699I've thought about trying it, but I can't get past 24 to 30ish hours. Intermittent fasting is all I can handle.I don't know how you guys do multi day fasts. Shit is fucking miserable.
>>75110728I'm 57 calories over my daily target.It's over.I'm going to order five large Domino's and two big bottles of Coke.
>>75110732>because I actually want to lose weightYou can also do that by just counting calories retarrd
>>75110728sometimes I go on uber eats and fill up a cart with a bunch of bullshit and then I clear the cart and close the appdid this probably three times yesterday, it is gonna be a long weekend
>>75110728Scale didn't go down as much as i want and now i want to fight someone and make them suffer.
>>75110741When I look at the cicotard posts I refuse to go down that path. Im good fasting. Seethe, cope, mald, cicotard
>>75110735I also used to be unable to do it but I got kind of used to it I guess. I am two days deep into a fast right now and planning to go another day or two. Biggest advice would definitely be to supplement vitamins and electrolytes.
>>75110752Fasting is CICO
>>75110699I do 36h-48h every once in a while, did a couple of 72h just to see how it would feel and they're pretty easy to pull off because I generally don't feel hunger at all since I'm doing low carb but I don't want to have to manage vitamins and electrolytes so I just stick to 48h max
>>75110735Everyone who fasts says the first day is the hardest fwiw
>>75110759Keep coping and seething cicotard. Did u relapse on pizza again, is that why you are so mad?
>>75110699I'm on my second extended fast. ~36h in right now. Going for 3 days. First extended fast lasted 3.5 days. It's much easier than I expected. I sleep just fine, and I need less sleep to feel rested. Not really hungry, just bored. As long as I have something to keep myself busy it isn't all that hard.But I do lose a lot of strength. During lifting I get tired faster, need to rest longer, and I can't grind as well as I used to. It's still worth it though. I will use this as my main form of weight lose in the future. I wouldn't go past 3-4 days without using something like electrolytes. The last day of my previous fast fast I felt incredibly lame.
Just hopped on a scale for the first time since i started going to the gym about 9 weeks ago and i lost 15 lbs. Under 240 now which feels good even though i still look like shitI wish i took some before photos, but i want fat me to die and be unremembered
>>75110728An entire 32oz jar of spicy marinara, I still can't believe I did that.
>>75110771Fasting is CICO
Every cicotard is always malding when someone does something other than count calories and relapse on candy and pizza. Cico is a cult
>>75110752>>75110771Fasting is CICO
>>75110737at least get diet coke
>>75110735First day is always hard, after that it gets easy, like ridiculously easy, because you don't even think about food after that point.
Remember that your body adapts to low intensity exercise so don't count calories burned from walking after the first 6 months or so.
>>75110699I haven't eaten since Wednesday. Bros, I don't think I can keep doing this.
>>75110821thats based push longer
>>75110805>counting calories Intuitive eating works as long as you eat foods on which our intuition is evolved.
>>75110821When I went fasting for four full days, I decided to stop, despite initially intending to go for five.I didn't feel hungry whatsoever but I started getting incredibly exhausted (like "have to lie down" exhausted) from moving around at all.That didn't feel healthy or a good idea at all.
>>75110835fat people do not have that intuition
>>75110835all of the people that are here got obese and morbidly obese by eating intuitively.
Guys, you'll lose about two pounds of weight if you do a colonoscopy.Can recommend.
>>75110943>colonoscopyeveryone knows you mean getting your boy pussy pounded but nice try
>>75110968No, that'll give you some extra weight, you silly.
>have 400 calorie frozen mealprep meal>buy a chocolate waffle (318)>a bacon sandwich (379)>and a cheese twist pastry (320)>eat all these throughout the day>still in caloric deficit (just under 1500)>just spread the meals out>can still eat some stuff i've been cravingfeels good man.
> take absolutely massive earth-shattering shit, white knuckled, fingers gripping the porcelain, praying to god that i'll live to see another day> weigh myself> +0.1lbsi'm inconsolable
>>75110644>>75110616>>75107895There's some evidence that spot fat reduction is not a myth, it's just hard to do. Maybe the reason your fat disappears from a weird spot is because you use muscles around that area more?One of the claims is that you need to 'mobilize the fat' by increasing blood flow to the area. You do this by working out muscles very close to the fat. Then you do cardio to burn the fat off. (Although in the experiment they did it the other way around: cardio first, then torso rotations and crunches.)>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10680576/The experiment had two groups of people: a control group and the spot reduction group.The control group did a 45-minute treadmill workout 4 days a week for 10 weeks. The door reduction group did a 27-minute treadmill workout followed by torso rotations and machine crunches. They did this the same 4 days a week for 10 weeks.The study made sure that both groups expended the same amount of calories during exercise.Trunk fat mass reduction (belly fat):>Spot reduction group: 1171g>Control group: 474gLower extremities fat loss (legs):>Spot reduction group: 500g>Control group: 507gUpper extremities fat loss (arms):>Spot reduction group: 33g>Control group: 120gTotal fat loss:>Spot reduction group: 1705g>Control group: 1134gWeight loss: >Spot reduction group: 1.2 kg>Control group: 2.3 kgThe spot reduction group was fatter to start out with, but they lost 7% belly fat while the control group lost 4%. That's a decent difference.
I ate a salad for lunch bros
>>75111002I'm currently trying to do this for belly fat, I'm at my goal but the gut is still here so while I'm reducing my bf% I'm also doing intense core workouts immediately followed by cardio on my stationary bike. Maybe it helps maybe it doesn't, would have done both the cardio and core workout either way.
>>75110805>your body adapts to low intensity exerciseWhat does that even mean? It's still going to take a significant amount of energy just to move my carcase around, or does my body generate that from nothing?
>>75111002So what workout would you do to reduce manboobs before doing cardio?
>>75111039bench press and heavy caloric restriction will do miracles to your fat cow titties
>>75111037https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXravnAPT7Y
>>75111048Won't bench press just build muscle underneath the fat and push the boobs out further?
>>75111149https://youtu.be/0XRKDJdG_rA?si=tKPCf5_5UBG-SzXj
>>75111149this is the most retarded evil lie that has been propagated by landwhales forever nowbench press contours your chest into a masculine shape and also helps you lose fat; losing fat reduces your cow udders you need both
got too cocky /fat/bros...my pants are a tiny bit loose so I bought a new pair online, same "model" but two sizes lower (skipped one)they won't fit, need another month or two
>>75111214you bought yourself motivation
>>75111149Yes, but it will change the shape of your boob to be less like a saggy woman's boob and more like a powershitter.Your first priority is still to lose weight though. >>75111002Life begins at 12% bf. Might as well just lose weight in general instead of chasing memes.
>>75111214happened to me with a shirt, best fuckup that could happen, gave me nice motivation and made me try much harder in the next month until it finally fit me.
>>75111214This always happens, every single manufacturer has different measurements for sizes. When I used to be much skinnier I had some t-shirts that would fit me perfectly and were marked ''medium'' and some were large or even extral large. In my experience the more expensive the clothes brand, the smaller the sizes are.
>>75110728I went above tdee twice this week, a 3000cal day and a 2800 cal dayI probably underestimated those calories tooits so over
>>75111214I'm still wearing baggy tshirts on my walks because im too much of a cheap asshole to invest in more clothes that ill shrink out of.Did buy a couple OCBD's that I plan to get tailored once im at my goal weight.
long live OMAD
Started at 248lbs in Feb, down to 187lbs now. I'm 6'1 so I'm almost back in a healthy weight range. I'm gonna make it bros!
>>75111315nice progress, got any pics?
>>75111319Unfortunately never thought to take progress pictures. I'll probably take a few pictures once I reach my end goal. Aiming for 170-175 and a few more months at the gym to get a bit of definition back before being satisfied. Still have some belly fat and a light overhang I want to fix up.
>>75111388You got any lose skin or are you lucky?
>>75111426Lucky. Very little loose skin overall currently. I've still got another 12lbs or so to go though. Loose skin might be more noticeable when I get there.
I'm down from near 300 to 215 at 6', no loose skin so far but still have about 20-30lbs to go. I also drank like 1.5 gallons of water every day for the entire time I was fat so I think hydration has something to do with it.
>exercised 17 times in one week>measly 1 lb weight lossblackpill. Can I get back all the time I spent working out or no?

>>75111748keep in mind you are asking for advice from delusional morbidly obese idiots
>>75111753true, but there's no /lean/ general up right now and I don't want to be one of those faggots who makes their own thread...
>>75111748Sure but you're better off in /cbt/ unless you're coming down from pretty fat
>>75111772thanks I'll post there
Fatty Contest Big Frigate 293.4 lbs
>>75110699I'm doing them as my primary means of weight loss because a slight deficit is way too goddamn slow honestly. I don't have a million years to lose weightI could be more aggressive with the fasting but I've lost 40 lbs in about a month and a half so far by fasting on and off, usually a 2-5 day fast and then a few days off eating at maintenance or below
I want to drink 15 cans of beer so badly bros.........
>>75111944drink 50 cans of diet soda, i'll allow it
>>75111779Nice cock.
>>75110732What does rolling even mean. It makes no sense but Everyone says it
>>75110771You sound very unhappy
>>75110805This is absolute nonsense
>>75110699I do and I'm not even that fat right now, kind of need to lose some weight though.I've fasted up to 48h no problems. 30-36h is enough though, I hit some psychological hunger around 16h and it's done. Disclosure that it's not a true fast in that I do take caffeine from one low/zero calorie energy drinks. Otherwise it's just water.
>>75110699Just did 168 hours dry fasting and now I'm at 12 hours water fasting. I'll probably go for 108 hours then break it.Down 32 pounds but I probably won't lose any during the water fasting phase as regain water weight.
>>75112090>Just did 168 hours dry fastinglarp
>>75112101Not a larp at all. I posted in /fast/ with my updates but the thread died as usual. This is my second 5+ day dry fast in 2 months
>>75112129Larp
>>75112131Oh, true
>>75112031doing them continuously so you eat once at the 72 hr mark and then go right back into another fast
>>75112135I wonder why losers like you feel the need to lie when people are actually trying to get better. Faggot.
>>75112090what the fuck you haven’t drank water for a week?
>>75111149You can always just lose the muscle later. That part is very easy.>>75111219>Life begins at 12% bf. Might as well just lose weight in general instead of chasing memes.Depends on where fat is on your body.
>>75112145I attention seek on anonymous forums to feel good about myself and definitely didn't complete a 7 day dry fast last night.>>75112149No food or water for 168 hours. Friday 6PM to Friday 6PM.
>>75111493>>75111315I hope that I am you in the future. I'm still at 206 lbs.
>>75112153I feel like you’re gonna give yourself brain damage dude. That is genuinely really dangerous. Why did you do it dry? What did you feel like?
He didn't go 7 days without water, you can't you'll die. Ignore the faggot larper.
>>75112164>Why did you do it dry? What did you feel like?Dry is amazing and is extremely easy except insanely fucking boring. The worst are the nights and doing any exercise. You get extreme reactions to things like endorphins so it's really easy to have a 30 minute walk turn into a 60 minute walk. You feel absolutely high at that point. Once those endorphins are gone though it's such a valley that you'll never want to walk again. Have you ever seen that video of the muscle in the lab that's cramping and you can see it bubbling? That's what my legs felt like all night. I'd lay down at 9PM and I wouldn't fall asleep until 2AM.If anything, I was getting really tired of being indoors because "hard" dry fasting means no brushing your teeth or taking a shower, so I felt genuinely disgusting the whole time.I think I could have gone longer judging by people on reddit or youtube, but I wasn't willing to risk it. I started having intense dreams and I was getting really scared of dying despite no actual negative symptoms aside from super chapped lips.Water fasting with electrolytes is by and far the easiest though.Starting weight was 287 lbs btw at 6'2", so had a lot of reserves.Oh, and for the guy that says I'm larping, the cool part is after day 3 when you start peeing a shit ton and it's relatively clear because your body is converting fat to water. It's definitely a weird feeling.
>>75112195No one believes you
>>75112195>If anything, I was getting really tired of being indoors because "hard" dry fasting means no brushing your teeth or taking a shower, so I felt genuinely disgusting the whole time.my fucking sides, excellent larp
>>75112202Genuinely I'm fine with that.>>75112204I don't know what to tell you, look up the dryfasting subreddit.
>>75112223Don't tell me anything, just stop posting your pathetic larp.
>>75112162Assuming you started around the same weight and are the same height you shouldn't have any major skin issues. The people I chat with have had only good things to say about my weight loss and current looks compared to before.
And here's the video that convinced me to go for 7 days:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT4_ErgeHzcI'll stop replying to people now since that's what you're after. Later anons!
>>75112195>>75112223I believe you. The three day thing is for fit people out in the wild. You are a landwhale laying in bed all day. Still, you should really just water fast man — it has exponentially less risks to your organs and your brain most importantly. You might give yourself refeeding syndrome too.
>>75112241>Surely you'll believe my larp if i post another person also larping
>>75112090>>75112195>Yeah I'm going to go a week without water, this is definitely healthy and will not result in long term damage to my internal organsDo you also have amethyst crystals in your room and a dreamcatcher over your bed to direct ambient energy into your chakras while you sleep? I'm not doubting there are people on here retarded enough to do something this braindead, I'm doubting the health benefits of it.
>>75110699I've just completed a 30 day water fast because I was a 16 stone lard ass who could barely fit in his XL t-shirt. I ate nothing for thirty days, but took vitamin and protein supplements, and tablets for electrolytes, accompanied by long walks. I've lost a stone and a half. I felt like crap for the first three days, but ok after that. I'm going to see how long I go before I start to feel bad. I've still got a gut, but it's a smaller gut. My face looks thinner though, and my shirts are not tight anymore.
FUCK OFF FASTARDS MAKE YOUR OWN THREAD YOU STUPID FAGGOTS
>>75112299>ackshuallyif you’re taking protein supplements you aren’t technically fasting but congratulations on your progress
>>75112312Fair enough. I'm new to this, I'm still proud of my weight loss, and I'm going to continue. The only unpleasant part is the terrible taste you get in your mouth while doing it. It's like fruity nail varnish.
>>75112326Sounds like ketoacidosis
>>75110821update: I'm seeing stars and my vision can't focus. What the fuck is happening?
>>75112164>Why did you do it dry?Because he read some other anons broscience claiming it would give him the hair of a god and make his dick grow three inches.
>>75112385You fell for the fasting meme you retard
>>75112385Hypoglycemia
>>75112374It's a common experience for people on keto. It means anon is burning fat rather than carbs.>>75112385Don't hurt yourself anon. Why no just restrict calories rather than not eating? Smaller more nutritious meals rather than nothing.
>>75112409I wanna lose fat ASAP so my exercising would be easier >>75112407>look it upFUCK I'm whipping up some egggs rn but Ineed healthy shit with sugar. any suggestion?
>>75112437bananas and crunchy peanut butter
>>75112447>peanut butterwhy do you fat faggots always resort to something like peanut butter? just eat some whole peanuts, almonds, walnuts or whatever
>>75112437Just eat a teaspoon of sugar
>>75112476its okay to eat some peanut butter fatbro
Help me /fat/ I've become smitten with a chick I work with who is 14 years my junior. God I hate being a mid 30s crusty loser.Hoping to get back to the gym on Monday after some real life bullshit and work getting in the way, going to focus more on my form again. Diet was up and down but it's swinging more towards the positive. 230lbs by Christmas that's most definitely what's up.
>>75110728I went to a fair and ate garbage, no scale, had to guess
>>75112571>a vegan fairI can't think of anything more grim.
>>75112587Do you think peameal is vegan or something?
>>75112598Even if it isn't a hamburger bun with a couple slices of bacon is not something you need to go to a fair to experience.
>>75112587>ice cream>bacon>vegan
>>75112609It was the cheapest food and I succumbed...
>>75112613Ice cream is vegan, no animals were harmed in the making of milk.
>>75112616Why are you guilt tripping yourself? You barely broke 1k calories, even if you wildly underestimated and ate twice as much if you just don't eat anything else for the rest of the day you didn't even do anything bad. Stop living in an all or nothing mentality, that is going to cause you to fail and backslide much easier. Weight loss is about changing your mindset for life, if you eat like a normal person you will look like a normal person. Normal people eat whatever and if they get all their calories in one outing they just don't eat until the next day.
>>75112633Thanks man, I felt bad because I didn't intend to eat at the fair
havent taken a shit in 7 days, im feeling one almost in the chamber now
>>75112530She isn't interested in you, move on.
Started adding cardio and I FINALLY broke my 3 week long plateau
Do you like Slimfast or protein shakes as a meal replacement?
>>75112815>eat too many carbs/sugar to lose weight>add pointless stress to the body caused by cardio>burn the carbs>break plateaugood job, i feel for your joints
>>75112681Drink hot black coffee. Chug it.
>mix vanilla protein powder and metamucil>get protein-packed filling orange creamsicle drinkYeah....I'm a bit of a genius....
>>75112884not shitting expected because i dont eat fiber and actually digest most of what i eati also dont like coffee
Going outside for some morning cardio is really good to get outside my head and back into reality. I found out my city has a farmers market every Saturday. Been living here 4 years and I never knew that before.
I thought losing weight would make be happy, but honestly, it just made me more sad. The realisation of my wasted 20s is depressing. Guess I'll just have to accept my fate......
>>75112938Lots of people will waste their 30s, 40s, and 50s as well being fat.
>>75112938Anon I know people in their 40's and even 50's that are just as cool and care-free as people in their 20's. It's all about your frame of mind
>>75112530this >>75112785If you've told her how you feel and the woman doesn't show interest in you just move on, its not happening, doesn't matter how much you like them or how much you change yourself, you're just wasting your time, they're not interested.
>>75112239I was 251 lbs about 1-2 years ago. I dropped to about 230 lbs over the course of a year without active weight loss and have been actively losing weight since end of April this year and got to 206 so far. I've stalled for about a month now due to exercise though. So far I haven't noticed any loose skin either and I hope I won't get any. I haven't noticed that I've gotten any slimmer though other than my belt on jeans (and the jeans themselves feel a bit too big even with the belt).
>>75112878>enter thread>spout retarded shit to people actually accomplishing thingslol @ you
>>75112900>not shitting expected because i dont eat fiber and actually digest most of what i eatdo carnitards really?

Fatty contestPonponpon279lbs
>>75113109Have you considered trying to actually lose weight?
>>75112976I've not said anything to anyone outside of this thread. And I never will, eventually it will pass and I didn't start losing weight to impress her or any woman. I started losing weight because I want to be at least physically healthy and get my shit in order once again.
>days since i last shit: 7 -> 0
>can sleep on my back without dying againI feel like a god
>>75112900Fiber makes me constipated
>Curious about my testosterone levels since I always had a problem with motivation and always feeling tired and apparently low test does this>Feel like the doctor won't take me serious because I am fatI always had these problems but I feel like I would've to lose weight first before asking my doctor for exams
>>75113139>I've not said anything to anyone outside of this thread.Then just say something.
>>75113289You would be correct to avoid wasting that doctor's time. Do you know what else causes fatigue, low mood, and low interest in activity? Obesity.
>>75113318I was skinny for the large majority of my life and I always had these issues, but yeah, better lose my fat first because they're 100% going to ask me to lose fat first before doing anything.
>>75110652How long to go from 6’2” 300lbs to 200lbs?Assume during my job I do 6000-8000 steps and then I go on a walk for another 4000-6000 at the end of the day, so my average daily is about 10k. Assume I eat 1800-2300 cals most days and occaisonally eat as low as 800 cals on the days I can bare it (since trying to get healthy I have entire days where I’m not hungry and force myself to eat, happens like twice a week).How many months would it take me to get down to 230lbs, 215lbs, and then 200lbs?Normally I’d agree with the logical don’t worry about how long it takes just focus on building the habits and being patient, but I have a deadline in 8 months to be 220lbs, and then at the 12 months mark to be 200lbs or less and also able to run 3-5 miles and I can’t/won’t start actually running until I’m 220lbs.
>>75113345What deadline means you have to be 220lbs in 8 months?
>>75113355Maybe military related stuff
>>75113289It's weird to assume your doctor wouldn't want to test and treat a hormonal imbalance issue from someone wearing a flashing "I probably have metabolic syndrome" suit.Don't pick up self-defeating traits and decide it's not worth bothering your doctor with your health conditions.If you don't expect your doctor to be competent and/or do some basic due diligence, then maybe go look for an endocrinologist instead.
>>75113345You can probably get to 215lb with a 1k deficit and ~15k steps a day in 8 months.
>>75113355Don’t worry about it>>75113363Yeah>>75113381I may be able to work in an extra hour of walking. 1800 is a 1000 deficit for me with my assumed sedentary calories, I know the activity from work and the walking are making it greater than that though. If I could shed like 20lbs, 15, 15, 10, 10, 10, 8, 8. . . I would crush my goals. Even if there’s like 40lbs of water weight that I lose in these initial first few months
>>75113417>don't worry about itSo you don't have to be 220lbs then, you're just a schizo who will fail.
>>75113345It's going to be hard to make it in 8 months. If you want to lose all of that in fat then your caloric deficit would have to be about 280,000 kcal. That's 35,000 a month or 1,167 kcal per day.You're going to lose some muscle during this, so a more realistic number would be at about 1000-1100 kcal deficit. If you're close to the deadline you could also 'cheat' by going on a keto diet to lose some water weight temporarily, but that's going to account for only 4-8 lbs.Any way you look at it you're going to have to be on at least a 1000 kcal deficit per day. It's hard to say how much your walking is going to add into it. 1800 kcal a day might be fine for like the first 40 lbs, but after that you will probably have to reduce it. Near 220 lbs you'd have to drop to like 1300-1500 kcal per day even.It's not technically impossible though. LivingGod (this guy: >>75110176 ) has gone from 232.4 lbs to 190 lbs in 105 days. He says he's doing rolling 48s though - a fasting regimen (if there's a /fast/ thread around it can explain what it is). It's definitely doable without fasting, might be harder though. Whatever you do though, you must track your calories if you try doing this. You have to be strict with it.PS read the OP next time
>>75113444>it’s gonna be hard>you’d need to have a 1200 deficit per dayThis is gonna be cake. And I know a thing or two about cake.>lose muscleDon’t care I’ll rebuild it that’s not the goal right now.>more realistic numberI’ll just do 1000 and then whatever I gain from exercise, again, I’m using sedentary calories despite the active job and daily walks. I know as soon as I’m light enough to start running without risking aggravating old sports injuries (220lbs) that the rest will come off easily enough. But even then worst case yeah I squeeze the last 10lbs via water weight.>not impossibleI know it’s not, I’m gonna do it. Thanks man. I’ll post up in May when I’m 220lbs.>>75113437I’m not just gonna crush my goals but I’m going to viscously masturbate to the idea of you crying about it which is what will happen because you are already (oddly?) emotional about it like the angry little crab you are.
>its the crab schizoLmao what a loser this guy is
>>75113317It would go disastrously. Better to leave shit be and stay invisible at work.
>>75113345It’s very possible so long as you keep the diet strict. Honestly just eating 2,000 calories with that much walking around and you’d likely at least be like 230 in 8 months. I don’t see why you then couldn’t easily enough lose the last 30lbs at a rate of 2lbs/week in the remaining 4 months>>75113417That’s literally what will happen if you take it seriously. First month you’ll lose a fuck ton of weight, easily 10lbs of fat and 10lbs of water if not more of both, then slightly less and less until you’re losing at a rate of about 8lbs per month. Just be prepared to have times when the weight doesn’t seem to budge until finally you get a whoosh>>75113507Nta but he’s unironically right albeit autistic, you’re quite literally acting like a crab. Which is far worse than some autist because an autist is at least a person. Just give it up dude he dangled his dick down your throat after you lashed out unprovoked and you’re now asking for seconds
>ntalmao yeah sure crab schizo
>>75113345Chair force?
>>75110699conciously tried for the first time ever a few days ago, went 40 hours. 24 hour mark was horrible but after another sleep it felt alright, like a passed a mental hurdle. honestly planning another soon
>>75113380But it is wasting a doctor's time. It's like going into the doctor's office saying that you have a tachycardia problem. While you're running in place constantly. Obviously, they're going to see tachycardia and they're gonna say, have you stopped running?And you're going to say, well, it happens whether or not I do it, and they'll say, well, I'd like to assess the situation when you're not running and you're resting. Surely running in place is exacerbating the problem.
>>75113808> But it is wasting a doctor's timeIs it though?Your hormone imbalance could be causing or aggravating other medical conditions, including weight gain itself, and you're basically trying to swim upstream because you're not a medical professional and you can't tell the flow is pushing against you, but at least you can tell yourself that as soon as you make it to the source, you'll probably bother someone to look into it.There's a whole lot of anecdata out there showing people on T getting leaner faster.It seems crazy to me to pretend it would be wasteful to seek help with this.At the bare minimum, get tested.Then once you get a low T number, you can always decide you're going to ignore the issue and power through it until some unspecified future date as a demonstration of willpower, or whatever the fuck makes sense to you.
>>75113861Except low T didn't make him fat, esting too much did. Ate you some 30 year old fat woman or something?
>>75113895Telling fat people that they do not deserve medical care because they just need to stop being fat first is harmful advice.Many fat people are already struggling against a spiral of self-neglect and low self-esteem, and reinforcing the notion they'll just waste a doctor's time with their fat problems is simply cruel.
>>75113921Eat less fatty
>Down 20lbs>Just another 30lbs and I'll stop being an obeast and I'll just be an overweight fattyIt's still aways a way but knowing I'm almost half way there is pretty exciting.

Something weird happened today. I got included in the catering again today and ended up eating lunch with the office crew. The one who does the ordering said "teehee you are going to get chubby again you never eat hamburgers or pizza for lunch anymore teehee". Told her not really i just eat less later. She inquired into what I ate last Wednesday when they got Olive Garden and I told her that I ate some peanuts and a tangerine because I was not hungry and she got upset? Why is everyone trying to be heroes as if I am bulimic or something. I admit that I lost weight rapidly but I am eating better now!!

Fatty ContestFilledwithSin325.2lbsI fell off after a few solid months post-putting my dog down. Just recently I had to go to a family death for several weeks and realized I need to get my shit together as the fat 60-70 year olds are beginning to drop without really enjoying life just bloated and 2 years into retirement and I cannot end up like them. And the ones that aren't dead or actively dieing are on shitloads of meds barely able to do something like walk up some stairs, my sister managed to not get fat after her 4th kid and everyone is harassing her thinking she is anorexic fucking crazy.
>>75114405>Much research to date has focused on the positive aspects of social support across a range of health outcomes including obesity management. Increasing evidence, however, also points to a more detrimental version of social support including sabotage, collusion, and being a feeder. Further research is needed to explore the prevalence of these forms of negative support and the extent to which they impact upon an individual throughout their weight loss journey whether it be through behavioural interventions, surgery, or medication taking. Furthermore, an understanding of negative social support may help explain the higher rates of relationship change, including divorce, separation, and the onset of new relationships after bariatric surgery, particularly for those who show higher levels of weight loss [87]. Such research could form the basis of interventions targeting family, friends, or partners as a means to maximise their positive impact on weight loss and weight loss maintenance and minimise the detrimental consequences of any forms of negative social support whether intentional and explicit or more benign and implicit. This paper has therefore presented a new model of the more negative aspects of social support which involve more intentional processes which undermine an individual’s weight management attempts. These can be understood as a mechanism of homeostasis and could provide the basis for future research and interventions to support patients as they navigate the impact their attempts to lose weight have on their relationships surrounding them.

>>75114568I never had any luck before so I doubt I will after. You might though, I was already mentally fucked up before I got fat. If you're just fat than you'll probably be fine if you get fit.

>>75114568I think only one girl has been interested in me so I doubt anything will change to me

I managed to get dates simply because my confidence was higher in myself so I was able to talk to women without constantly feeling like shit or thinking>oh no she probably thinks i look grossalso yes if you arent ugly, dress decently and dont smell bad women will notice you if youre their type.I got my first gf because of having more confidence due to the weight loss, she was a barista at a coffee shop i used to go on the way to work, she was having a coffee before her shift started one day so i sat down with her and chatted her up, asked her number, if i was still fat i wouldnt have dared to talk to her.

Give it to me straight fellow fatties. I'm probably 35%+ body fat, 6'2" 260ish lbs right now. What's a reasonable timeline to turn this around? Being cutting calories substantially and doing cardio 4-5 times a week lately. I also work a construction type job so pretty active at work.
>>751162568-10lbs a month is just hard enough imo, a challenge but not impossible, so about 8-10 months to reach 180, although if you want a six pack you'll probably have to go lower, but you'll have a good idea by then.unless you were already doing cardio 4-5 times a week before starting your weight loss, I would just start by eating less and only start cardio 3 months down the road, to keep things interesting. you should also start lifting at some point, sooner rather than later, but don't let any of this get in the way of eating less.
>>75112869Slimfast would have some vitamins/minerals and thickeners added to aid in keeping you full id think.
>>75116340I used to do cardio a few years back pretty much every day, and I actually really enjoy it so that's mostly why I do it. I've tried lifting while cutting before and I just can't do it. It makes me so goddamn hungry all day.

>>75110699Almost all of them, no doubt. >He thinks not eating for 24 hours is even fastingLmao, pathetic.
2½ days into my water fast.
>>75110735It generally takes 48-72 hours to enter ketosis as an adult if you go from spiked insulin to straight fasting. During that process, around hour 18-20 your body should not feel as hungry anymore, with hunger mostly subsided by hour 48. The third day is the easiest, and from there, it's more or less the same amount of effort so long as you don't do something foolish like chew gum, drink flavored drinks, smell something delicious, or anything else that may cause your body to be excited to eat. I suggest refraining from binging food porn when fasting as much as possible, as this has a similar effect of whetting your appetite.

>>75110652Is weight loss as simple as eating less? I lift 3-4 days a week. I tried running but hate it so I’d like to avoid that. I’m mentally fine with a meal a day if I have to. But it can’t be that simple right?

>>75116827So we're talking about the condition that's the result of obesity, right?

Insulin isn't just making fat from red blood cells it's SUGAR that fat boy ATE. He's resistant because of years of high sugar.

>>75118997I didn't measure but if I did it into a water bottle it would've filled it up most of the way. I did the math and a water bottle weighs about 16.9 fl oz which is half a kg which is about 1 pound so it looks like the math clears out.

>>75110652man any anons here got problems with hard boiled eggs? i fucking love these little buggers like you wouldnt believe, esp cuz cooking them in large batches and eating them over the week is great.i always ate some oats along with 3 eggs in the morning and i felt insanely fatigued for the morning-noon hours, esp at work, so i skipped the oats cuz i thought it was due to carb crashing still had the same problem, just skipped breakfast, felt way better than eating just eggs in the morning. cant do that anymore cuz i hate eating a bunch of shit at the end of the day (troubles my sleep) so i just went with oats + whey + almonds (same macros as my previous oats + eggs breakfast) and i dont feel like complete ass anymore. i have 0 troubles like that with scrambled or fried, even poached eggs where i cook the yolk through 100%. i dont have time in the morning to do that though what the FUCK is it about hard boiled eggs that gives me trouble? i dont want to abandon my lil homies but it seems like i have no choice..
