>forgot to count the calories from the olive oil i fry my chicken in
no wonder i havent been losing weight as fast as id like to

I think of all the stress and effort of trying to lose weight and how I’d never have even needed to go through this if I wasn’t raised by a neglectful single mother. All this is just to make up for what shouldn’t have happened to begin with

Morning report

>walked 3 miles to work meeting
>did the meeting
>walked 2 miles back
>ran the last 1 mile
>total calories burnt 500-600

Food ate
>breakfast cereal 400 calories
>coffee 200 calories
>total calories consumed 600

Back to 0 calories consumed after being awake for 5 hours. Will likely eat 2 more times today so 600 calories per meal max and Im at a loss for the day. Also got some fitness training done. I'll do some pushups and some dumbbell exercises in an hour

Overall the day is set up to be a success. Same again tomorrow lads!

>>75308871
Looking back in anger is not a solid success strategy. Every single person in the world, regardless of how succesful they are, have been wronged, they've been spited, they've been betrayed and admonished strongly.

The difference between the people who never progress and the people who prosper are the ones that own their current problems irrespective of who or what laid them upon them.

It's time to be an adult and shed the depressive rumination. You don't have to forgive but you have to forget and focus on your problems right now as if they're your own

being fat right now isn't something to blame anyone for, it's an opportunity for growth and development and thats what it is at the core.

This mindset wont be exclusive to your feelings about your weight. You will likely use similar mindsets for your job, your relationship status, your happiness, your everything. it comes to a point where you have to take ownership

I will adjust my meals to 500 calories max in response. We all gunna make it

>>75308933
You will get it one day anon. It's about making the best of what resources you have right now to make your life better. By shifting blame you are giving yourself an excuse, an out, to give up because its not your fault. Thats why winners dont think like that

>>75308934
5 miles is like 200cal max

>>75308934
>>75308925

It was 6 miles anon, you bamboozled me. I walked for 5 and ran for 1.

So yes its 550 calories according to the calculator. Nevertheless I will eat less than 600 per meal anyway

>>75308937
no, it just sounds like you don’t believe in cause and effect

>>75308941
No its not anon. I kindly ask you to check calculators and reading resources. Walking is more powerful than you think.

A good approximate rule of thumb is 100 calories per 2000 steps

>>75308955
All those calculators massively overestimate calories burned during exercise moron

>>75308945
Honestly bro I've had a tough upbringing and I sometimes wanna cut contact with my family completely but I still tackle my issues like they're mine for the betterment of my future. If you dont wanna hop onboard the stoic train that is a proven winners mindset then you dont have to, but remember, you have the backdoor propped open so you can nope out when you dont feel like it because its not your fault. Its so easy to give up with that mindset

>>75308960
My weighing scale disagrees. I calculate my weight lost with 100 calories per 2000 steps walked and the scale moves accurately to those metrics.

If it were as low as you suggest I should not be losing weight yet I've lost 40lbs this year. You shall not dissuade me from walking. I will lose more weight and I recommend you read up on it more as it appears walkingi s more powerful than you think right now.

>>75308984
I don't need to show anything, you're the one making the claims. You show me any verified study that backs up 100cals burnt every 2000 steps.

Try this one on for size big boy. From the esteemed Journal of Strength and conditioning. The scholars on this piece surmise that a 1600 meter walk (0.994 mile) will expend a commendable 463 kilojoules which converts to 110 calories expended.

Interestingly enough, the same distance ran will expend a whopping 664 kilojoules which equates to 158 calories.

Whilst running is superior for raw calories burned, walking remains a solid way to lose weight

I put my monsters into defence mode and that ends my turn, your move

The scale tells me I've gone from 207 to 186 but I feel literally no changes in how my clothes fit+see no changes in my face area

I hope my weight loss becomes visibly soon. My parents have been telling me my whole life that I need to exercise more to lose weight. I told them it was impossible to out exercise the slop they were feeding me. Now that I'm on my own I can finally have full control of my diet and not be around junk food. I really want to rub it in. I need to resist the urge to overrestrict for the sake of losing faster. Don't want gallstones.

Stoicism is a gay cuckhold cope. I know from personal experience it is bullshit. People cause problems and nobody is coming to save you are not only regulated to stoic philosophy. Shitty parents create shitty kids that often grow up to be shitty people of their own.

I couldn't disagree more. I'm only "3-5lbs overweight" still, but I easily am carrying an additional 21.5lbs of fat still.

how much did you lose anons?
I lost a Jackie Chan

Just got unbanned, time to blogpost >:)

Was 105kg in May, down to 98kg this week. 8kg to go until a normal BMI for the first time in 10+ years. Feel my motivation dipping but my lows are so much higher than they used to be. A bad day now is...

>protein shake
>homecooked pasta meal for lunch
>snack on popcorn/chocolate bar (or 2)
>homecooked rice meal for dinner

A good day is basically the same minus the mid-afternoon snack

With increased weekly running mileage I reckon I'll probably reach normal BMI status just after new year, but the gains will be amazing by Christmas

Thanks bros for the endless discussion. I learned a lot from you guys. The most important thing is just to have a vague barometer for calories in everything and a mental tally of how much I'd guess I'm at, so I actually know the consequences of my actions. My 3 daily meals probably come in at just under sedentary maintainence for 90kg so I know anything over that is getting cheeky.

Today I was really wanting an afternoon snack and was browsing the shop looking at the different nuts, a cheeky chocolate bar etc but ending up going with a bag of popcorn. Only 350 calories and my craving was totally satisfied. So even with my "bad" day today, I'll be realistically at maintenance, even excluding my rooning.

Also my gf pointed out that my fupa looks totally different, no longer fat. Feels good bros.

I like what >>75308913 said, but I understand why the phrasing is grating.
I don't necessarily agree with anons chiming in that you should shoulder the (entire) blame for your situation.
I believe in a variation of "it may not be (entirely) your fault, but it is (entirely) your responsibility"
We are all born into circumstances that may be sub-optimal or even outright cruel at times, but the only thing we can do about it is to recognize it and do what we can to improve our situation.

What I hope you get out of this most, is a chance to recognize how other people are afflicted with similar "handicaps" in their lives, and that it can make you a more supporting and charitable person overall. You're in a unique position to recognize how other people struggle in ways others fail to even recognize.

By the time you succeed, you'll have a much broader perspective and be able to be much more helpful to others in similar (and sometimes fairly different) circumstances as yours.

So I think every good diet should start with clean carnivore for at least two weeks.
Few reasons.
Leptin resistance caused by inflammation and processed shit foods that everyone eats. Sugars etc. All studied and proven. pubmed etc.
The best benefit of carnivore is removing that leptin resistance. I literally went from slamming 4000kcal daily and still being starving to struggling to break past 1500kcal.
Once that happens and you stop eating like a fat cow you should immediately move to OMAD with a focus on meat.
I'll have two quarter pound patties of beef with palmetto cheese on it and spicy honey (super fucking good btw, try it) and I won't want to eat for 24 hours.
Once you are in OMAD territory you're golden imo. I've seen dudes that slam a pound of vegetables then eat whatever they want and the weight just falls off. I prefer at least half the meal being meat. Too many carbs and it's a struggle getting to the next meal. I get fiber from powder, that shit is important. Removing fiber from everything is why everyone has diabetes.

Just my thoughts. I also have a protocol for quitting smoking and another for drinking. I successfully quit everything. Quitting overeating was hard until I started focusing on the hormones involved, then it fell into place.
I was fit as fuck in my 20s. I used to post progress photos here back in 2011. After years of food-related abuse causing hormonal resistances it IS WAY HARDER in your 30s imo but you can make it just as easy as in your 20s by doing everything I just said.

Well, the community center also runs a food bank, and they wouldn't accept "no we don't need it"... and gave me boxes of muffins and cookies and poptarts and rice krispies and lunch meat and nuts and protein bars... It's so close to me now. I don't believe in wasting food, my little siblings will probably eat it over time, I just feel like an ungrateful bastard for really not wanting such a nice gift.

How is it an accident? You don't accidentally take off your pants, underwear, and stimulate your penis until climax. You don't accidentally sit and watch porn.

Well I've officially been off the wagon for 7 days. Basically been blackpilled by my own reflection and the world around me. No one even gives a fuck that I lost any weight not a single co-worker has said shit. I've dropped close to 140lbs by suffering on a 800cal deficit for 7 fucking months for what? So I can look like melted garbage that's still a fat nigger?

I told a lie, my "best" friend mentioned my weight loss while he was watching me row 65kg for sets.

>man your back has shrunk, I can see your muscles moving under your shirt a little while you're doing that
>it's funny though because it makes your ass look even bigger than it was before, like a fucking bookshelf sitting there when you stand up man

I also felt weak a hell trying to workout while only having time for like a 1/3 of my daily calories at work before going to the gym. I've obviously approached this all wrong too but it doesn't help when no one gives a shit and any progress I notice myself is instantly ruined by the fact that I have a melted gunt pouch now.

140 lbs in 7 months is impressive, I wish I had your dedication. Who fucking cares that no one says anything? I have a melted pouch too but I'm also fat and working on it. Rather have that than be unable to take a bath or die in my sleep.

Is DEXA the only way to actually Calc BF?
Navy method and BMI are both pretty inaccurate iirc

>>75311598
A deficit that big for that long will literally give you depression. Unironically eat more. Or you are just going to continue spiralling.

>>75311598
If you look at the extreme weightloss people online, you can see when they lose it fast they end up looking melted for a while and then afterwards over a couple years it starts to shrink up and look more normal
It almost seems to me like skin has the same shrink rate no matter what, you can either get fit quick and look gross for a while or get fit slow and the skin shrinks up a bit along with a slower fat loss. But both will still have skin left over, but it won't stay as bad as it is now. One variable is gyno, if breast tissue grew you'll have to get it removed to look normal. I think that maybe me but I can't tell yet

I'm currently at 135 lbs down in 8 months but it sounds like my starting point was a lot higher than yours because I didn't have to cut eating as strictly and I have a ways to go before the skin sag looks more like skin draped than just less-taut fat (410 to 275 for me)

People have definitely noticed mine, it's very weird that they haven't noticed on you. You should make progress pic collages to remind yourself that the change is real even if people aren't commenting on it. A lot don't want to bring it up until you talk about it first giving them permission, weight is pretty taboo even in a positive direction

But if I eat more I'll lose weight even slower and I'll be stuck as a fat fuck for another fucking year yet. I'm still at least 50lbs off from my initial goal and looking at myself it's likely to be more like 90lbs off actually looking "okay".

>>75311687
I was in the 360-380 range when I started, so not that much smaller than you. I can see I've lost weight but most of it was from anywhere that wasn't my stomach. Now that I've gotten even lower my stomach fat has loosened and there's now like a sack of it just sitting there mocking me as it doesn't skrink, don't get me started on the fucking skin wings. Sucks for me that my delts and triceps grew super fast because I'm never showing those off with them pterodactyl flappers I've got going on.

I once mentioned my fears about all the skin to a friend and they replied with something about wearing compression shirts to hide it. Which is great when the secondary point of getting into shape is the hope that someone might want to see me naked again.

If you're going to have a cheat day do OMAD and try not to go above maintenance. Order smaller portions.

Does anyone here pay for a coach or nutritionist etc? I know it may sound stupid but I tried so many times but have a hard time taking action even though I know everything I need to do. I really need someone to hold me accountable, tell me what to eat, when to eat, what exercises to do how often etc etc based on what Im trying to achieve, at least in the beginning until it becomes a lifestyle and habit

I ate a medium pizza and some chili last night, basically maintenance. Maybe a slight deficit with the workout and walking I did but not my usual 1500 cals or less.

It took me this long to learn, but I finally realized that it's impossible to gain weight while below TDEE. I thought water weight and fecal matter, especially fiber, would outpace any real losses until I fasted, but I'm still losing despite being only a few hundred under. That, or I'm eating less than I think I am. Let me know if this is correct.

>>75312396
1lb of fat is 3500 calories, so you might be more active or eating less than you think, especially if you are going off your BMR instead.

I lost 10kg this year but gained 2 kg back. Time to get back in the saddle boys.

It's so easy for 7 days to turn in to a month, and before you know it you've been gaining weight back for 10 years and you weigh much more than your previous highest weight.

It's really not worth it.

HOW hun- oh

Been plateauing at 185lb. I fell off the wagon a bit after covid, still tracking calories, but sticking to a little under maintenance. I was 184 this morning but I think it's just a fluctuation. I've got to get back to it now that I finally feel human again.

I was never an oats guy, but been making up a sachet of raspberry instant oats in the morning to have with my coffee and still been losing weight. I think digestion has improved too, softer poops if you can imagine such a thing. Been having a 2nd coffee before gym and I feel almost eurphoric when warming up on the elliptical. I think im about two steps away from descending into the seedy world of preworkouts and hard drugs. kek

I ate a bag of corn chips last night, not my proudest moment, Made some degenerate salmon nachos for a quick dinner but ended up just fisting the rest of the bag on the couch latter in the night while scrolling netflix.

Ive gone from a dinner plate sized main meal at nights to just using a plate the size of that you would put under a tea cup for my dinners. Works well, I load it up and it looks like an amazingly large ammount of food buts its at best 66% of what I used to eat to be full.

alright, confession motivated me to exercise today. an hour of inclined treadmill, average heart rate in the 120s. need to get back to the dumbbells tomorrow. wagmi, amen.

>>75313189
Ha, I spend more time just scrolling and adding things to my watch list than actually watching anything on there. I just always go back and end up watching Seinfeld again rather than actually siting through anything new.

>>75313206
I broke my fitbit and the heart rate sensor on my gyms eliptical doesnt work. Id like to know what my cardio heart rate is now that I feel a lot fitter but not sure I want to splurge on a new watch/tracker. I will have to research. Im going to have a shower and head to the gym soon, we're going to make it anon

Just hit 235lbs, 80lbs down from starting weight. And today I managed all of the 1,2,3,4 plus a 100lb barbell curl. I can only imagine how much stronger I will get when I have less fat getting in the way of strength.

Not sure what protein to eat today. I have whey in my morning oats, ill probably just have a shake after gym and maybe just pick up a bbq chicken from the supermarket on way home. I struggle to get 100g of protein a day which is not good for someone of my size, 220lbs.

>>75313223
I'm reasonably content with my whoop band, but I've never used a sensor/tracker before, so I don't have points of reference to compare it to.

>>75313231
I get 150-170g protein a day. Don't shy away from having 2 protein shakes in a day. Then maybe have some greek yogurt/cottage cheese, pour some egg whites into a couple full eggs and you easily hit 150+

Nice one. I think ive been spinning my wheels in the gym from lack of protein. Been at least a couple of times a week now for the past 2 years and while im down maybe 100lbs in that time my bench is still like 65kg for 3x12. Theres probably better ways to train for strength that what Im doing, but to be honest im scared of injury so just stick to more reps over more weight.

>>75313224
that's awesome anon, congrats

>>75313248
Easy solution to this. Bench using smith machine. No worry of accidentally killing yourself going heavier. Do normal bench occasionally as well so you keep strengthening stabilizing muscles, because smith machine doesn't activate them.

What's the best in-apartment aerobic exercise? In the summer I would walk up the stairs at the local park over and over but the ice is arriving and it's getting dangerous

>>75313270
i used to do this when i was lifting. people used to get pissy that i brought a bench over there lol

>>75313273
Probably step aerobics
Just get some big shit to step on and off of for an hour

>>75313267
Thanks! I've pretty much become a gymcel at this point but considering I'm only mid weightloss journey I don't see it as a problem to put all my focus into turning things around.

I'm not super fat (I bulked too hard then got injured and am now stuck at chubcore) but I'm finding I am bloated as fuck all the time which makes me look a lot larger. I keep getting targeted ads for innosupps and other shit that looks like snake oil made to "eliminate bloat" is there any of this shit that actually works or is 100% of it just snake oil?

I'm still trying to cut, the process is just going slower without being able to use my left wrist for any heavy lifting. Currently I'm 95kg at 6'0. About 25-30% bf estimate. I think the majority of my self image issues right now come from seeing a big bloated belly in the mirror.

>>75313403
Get more food with probiotics and fiber (might make bloating worse at first but eventually works to fix it)
You can also try intermittent fasting to stop holding onto water weight

>>75313419
I've started intermittent fasting again as of a few days ago and find it helps me look less bloated in the mornings but usually by night I am back to having a ballooned belly.

Any particular foods you'd recommend? I've been eating muesli and oats between meals.

>>75313231
You need at least 200g protein a day, the fuck you are doing. Just eat chicken every day nigga

Lean target weight in lbs x 0.7grams protein is all you need. Let's say he wants to reach 170lbs lean that means he needs about 119grams.

You can just walk around your apartment endlessly if you just want steps. You can also try jumping Jack's, jogging or running in place. Stepping on and off something like the other anon suggested. Crunches, situps, and bicycle kicks are great for abs. You can try planking, push-ups, lunges, squats too.

I've been plateauing for 4 weeks.
I hit the 100lb down mark, and then family came over so we ordered pizza and then I got kind of in a weird mood and started snacking every night. I've been back on it when I can, but today I had 3 big meals.

I'm going to get back into logging my food. I need to stay mindful of what I do.
No food tonight. I've OMAD'd for 7 of the last 11 days, gotta get that streak up

Nta but it happened to me too. Got to the 100lbs lost mark and just stopped. It was prob more a plateau in motivation over anything else, plus you have to knuckle down harder to lose that last bit.

Ah, fuck. Why do people drink bros? Why is booze so convincing? I hadn't touched any alcohol in like 2 and a half months, thought fuck it, I'm doing great, may as well skull a fuckton of hard alcohol and have a damn good night. Well three days later I still feel like death. Fucking blew past my calorie goals the day before yesterday too. Ate below maintenance today but skipped the gym. Tomorrow I'm headed back to my lifts but I'd like to go back to feeling normal again soon.

>>75314213
Alcohol is a meme that literally kills you while you drink it. The only solution is to never drink it again. Take the soberpill anon, im 5 years sober myself.

>>75313180
Yes, I throw chickpeas, tofu or tempeh in with my pasta.

The rice meals can be different things. Sometimes I make a huge batch of red lentil dahl which lasts me and my gf about a week and we eat it whenever we can't be bothered cooking. Another one is we stirfry some 'mediteranian veg', onions sauce the rice and throw in the aforementioned proteins.

Rice cooker basically makes it giga-easy because we always have a huge load of rice leftover so futures meals are very little effort, and it takes like 2 minutes of effort to cook a massive batch more.

>>75313194
No thank you, I am following a consistent and sustainable path and was probably already below maintainence with my snack. I'm running 10k today so 1200 calories would be ~ a 2k deficit.

5'5 165lbs, firmly in the "overweight" BMI category
I am on antipsychotics and several corticosteroids
Also just started meds for hypothyroidism
I am extremely unhappy with my weight
I used to lift every day and was 115 lbs
Then mental illness recurrence, leading to alcoholism, tack on psych meds and I ballooned up to 125, quit boozing but from there slow and steady yearly increases in the ratio of garbage I eat tilI I hit 140, started antipsychotics and immediately skyrocketed to 165 with prediabetic range blood sugar
I use excuses like low energy and sleepiness to avoid exercising, I am extremely tired all the time due to meds and condishuns and can sleep inhuman amounts at a time (24 hours straight a few days ago)
I don't feel enjoyment from exercising like I used to when I was 115 so even when I do rarely motivate myself to hit the gym it is a punishing chore rather than a fun challenge like it was for me before
I know the first step is to drop the junk food but my excuse for that is poor self control, which I know is a lie because I managed that perfectly fine before fatmode
I am just bitching I guess but I do not want to be fat anymore and it seems insurmountable to me right now
I am a night shift EMT so 70% of my 12h shift is sitting on my ass waiting for calls and 30% is lifting 400lb monsters up staircases
The juxtaposition or perhaps combination of the two forms of energy expenditure (and lack thereof) contribute to my tiredness after my shift and I spend my days off feeling like I'm physically recovering even though I did not do much real work
I don't know how to get out of this rut and I hate myself every time I look in the mirror or button my pants

>>75314379

NTA. Please don't say shit like this when you haven't experienced living with somebody with an actual mental illness. My older brother is schizophrenic.

He's overweight now but I'm so happy to have my brother back.

>mum tells me i dont need to lose weight
>dad tells me i dont need to lose weight
>they make fun of me every time i talk about weight loss, not in a playful way but in a "youre wasting your time" way
probably would have reached my weight loss goal by now had they been supportive. oh well, its up to me to be disciplined, cant blame them for any bad choices i make. but they deserve a lot of blame for how i turned out and the behaviours i grew up with

I have encountered a problem. I have lost about 4-5 kg in the past month and I have gotten comments from 3 people, 2 from my own family to stop losing weight, because I'm skinny already. But I think they are trying to sabotage my weight loss. How do I counter this? many times I have to throw out food I bring or simply not eat it because my family will know I eat less and I'm still trying to lose weight. i feel bad bc of that

You are weak and pathetic

Christ wasn't saved by performing His ministry (healing people, preaching the Gospel, and obviously getting water baptized, etc), so how can our works done for Him save us, either? Yet He WAS rewarded for doing these works of His ministry: with a name above all names, even with a religion named after Him (ie, Christianity) - rewarded with a glorious legacy...and rewarded with us Christians (ie, us being with Him eternally).

That means our works don't save us. Our works save OTHERS (which is the main point of James Chapter 2, hence "profit"). But we are apparently REWARDED for our works, regardless that salvation is not a reward but a gift (RECEIVED by faith in Jesus' name: John 1:12, Acts 3:16, Romans 5:16, Romans 6:23). Since the example is Christ, then the rewards we receive for our own service are probably similar to the rewards He received, such as a glorious and honorable legacy and (most significantly) us to spend eternity with Him in Heaven (meaning the greatest part of our rewards for our works is other people in eternity with us lead there by our works leading them there (aka, soulwinning)).

Salvation is unearned (the Apostles calling it a free gift), not a reward, unlike what results from a Christian's work.

Unironically just take Ozempic or Mounjaro or something similar if you have no self control.

I spent 10 years gaining weight, which really rapidly escalated in the last 4 years. I had no energy and would fall asleep all day. Every Monday I was convinced this was the week I would start a new diet, and by Wednesday I had given up.

Clearly weight loss medication isn't a life long solution. At some point it's going to be necessary to actually deal with the underlying issues. But the alternative for me was eating myself to death. However, now that I'm not binging on junk food all day, I feel a lot better. I'm 6 weeks in and suddenly the thought of doing some exercise isn't unbearable.

It might be considered cheating, or the easy way out or whatever. I'd rather cheat my way out of a situation than never escape from it.

I thought they only prescribed those if you were obese or diabetic? It is also not a long term solution, as you said, I know it is my crap diet that needs to change rather than cheating out of it, but yes it would be helpful to be less resistant to exercise
I am hoping once the thyroid medication really kicks in it speeds up my metabolism enough to help

My cousin's wedding was nice.

a day has passed and I feel fantastic!
I'm not hungry anymore, so I don't feel the urge to be snacking constantly!

is this what it feels to have self-control? LOL

just checking in after a long time, maintaining is working well. Ngl, I do eat the shittiest slop sometimes. But it seems to be good enough to make sure I don't do it too often. Still tracking calories though

I like drinking diet soda, but I hate how much they make me shit. I think I'm gonna have to give up on them again.

Stopped picking up the beer and drinking it.

Be honest anon, you knew she'd cook for you, and you knew you were gonna eat it. And you could've refused it, and you could've told her to put it in a container to heat up later. But you said "it won't matter."

183lb this morning lads, I thought my 184 yesterday was a fluke but it looks legit.

The Horizon is in sight, but dang, it's so much harder to lose the last 20lbs than the first 25.

That's funny I was actually hopping in to say I just hitting 180lbs this morning, I'm so close to breaking the 70s fir the first time since I was 15. I'm so close to just having a BMI of 25.
