>>75370087the only thing fatter than you is the load i dumped in ur mom last night *dabs*
OK so I fry some eggs in EVOO, but I'm not sure how much of that I actually ingest. I always try my best to let the eggs drip by holding him against the side of the pan before plating. Would love some input on how to gauge these calories
>>75370087get fucked fucking gay faggot, and fuck every weak willed fat sad sack of shit that confesses their weaknesses to you, you are not going to make it and posting your disgusting binges here anonymously doesn't help anyone
>>75370098count all the oil you put in the pan, up to you if you actually eat it or notolive oil is not good when heated, it's supposed to be used on salads only, use coconut or avocado oil, or butter, or get a non stick pan and stop using oils like a baby
>>75370104>olive oil is not good when heated, it's supposed to be used on salads onlyComplete and utter myth
>>75370093>>75370100calm down child
>>75370107>t. disgusting burnt olive egg enjoyer
>>75370113It's just factually wrong, there's nothing wrong with heating olive oil. Spaniards, Italians and other Mediterranean peoples have been doing it for thousands of years.
>>75370112>posts fat priests every thread>tons of (You)s guaranteed with zero effort>binge stories make you feel less pathetic>slowly erodes the thread>fat anons get zero accountability for their actions

Reply to me, my child. It is I who hold the key to making it.

4/7 days in a row of 40mins of cardio uninterrupted. feels good to finally be able to stick to it even though its boring as shit. heres to making it 7/7.
>>75370174gj bro, ive also been pretty consistent the past month or so. think im gonna start riding my bike again cause walking is getting kinda boring. though biking is also boring since ridden every conceivable route a thousand times over the past 15 years
>>75370120Anon is correct, EVOO has a remarkably high degradation point despite its rather low smoking point.>>75370104Anon is wrong and retarded.
>>75370174Just do it at the gym so you can leer at qt'sit makes the time fly
>buy 24 pack of fanta zero sugar**>** 1.3 g of naturally occurring sugars
>>75370258I drink at least 0.5 liters of that stuff per day its great
>>75368292I track my weight on LoseIt so it adjusts my calories dynamically for my CICO.I track it on Libra just for visual reasons.Fatty Contest as a final sort of accountability and motivation booster.
I've ate 250 calories and been awake for 7 hours. Got about 9 hours left in the day.I'll probably go for a jog soon to reset my calorie intake for the day back to zero
>>75370227>>75370257my goal is to eventually do 60mins every day. im gonna increase it by 5-10 mins every week till i hit that. its like free real estate losing an extra half pound or so a week in addition to my deficit.
>>75370292???
>>75370297Wrong thread.

>>75370374>fat and obsessedoh no, what will I ever do nooooo
>>75370359>>75370374As an independent third party your sperg out is worse if I'm to be honest

I feel like i'm the only sane person here sometimes
>>75370403It kinda makes sense though, you mix the general asshole temperament of someone that uses this website with being a fatass that's on a diet and it's a recipe for people seething all the time
>>75370403your calorie deficit must be pathetic
>>75370113I don't know man I use olive oil for everything and it's fine.
>90% of /fat/ still uses oilsI guess this explains all the "finally out of my 7 week stall! :)))" posts
>>75370437>he doesn't use oilsI guess that explains your seventeenth relapse
>>75370442>t. oils are the only thing binding me together>t. would completely unravel without his previous drops of green gold>t. needs the fizzle and sizzle of the eggs greasin'
>>75370437how the fuck are you gonna cook without oil retard
>>75370143Amazing to see some genuine year long results of attempted weight loss. This fat German fuck has been trying to lose weight for an entire year, diligently logging his weight on fatty contest and is a grand total of 4lbs downinsane
>>75370489It is amazing how many fatty contest people never lose weight and haven't for years.
>>75370437almond oil makes my skin smell nice and be moisturized though

>>75370489you blew it too early bro, it's one year next week, now he has time to pull some incredible stuff this week and you'll look like a retard
What if all fatty contest participants are fakes created for the sole purpose of motivating us to lose weight
>>75370505They do show the eternal struggle of being a fatty
>>75370505>what if everything is fake and I'm the only real onethe birth of a schizo, everyone
>>75370507Christ almighty that's depressing
>>75370078>Eat a lot of protein. 0.72g per pound of goal lean body mass.So... if my goal is 185 w/ 12% body fat... then my protein goal would be (0.72 x 163) = 117g of protein per day? That sounds doable, but I've seen some estimates that suggest 1g of protein per lb of goal weight. My current tracker suggests 201g of protein per day (I'm 230 right now) and that would be 800 calories per day of pure protein alone on a 1600 calorie diet.
>>75370527the 1g per lb of weight is advice for non fat people, read the physiqonomics sticky
How do you calculate the calories of a stevia+suclarose carbonated drink? Is it really 0 calories?
>>75370527>So... if my goal is 185 w/ 12% body fat... then my protein goal would be (0.72 x 163) = 117g of protein per day?Why would you use your goal weight for the calculation? In any case don't worry about it too much, try to get 120-150 grams in and call it a day. Even assuming you're weight training that should be plenty to preserve what muscle you have.
>>75370548>Why would you use your goal weight for the calculation?Because the stick says" >Eat a lot of protein. 0.72g per pound of goal lean body mass."
>>75370553Oh I see, that doesn't make sense to me but it doesnt matter too much in any case.
What is our shared opinion on Macrofactor as a tracking app?
Since I quit alcohol it's been so easy to lose weight. If you drink I promise you its causing you to not be able to control your eating, and that's before you consider the empty calories of alcoholDrinking alcohol I would consistently gain a few lbs a month. After alcohol I have never had a weight gaining month. I plateaued for a few month but im now back to losing weight. Even when I stopped dieting and eating at restaurants and snacking I maintained. Its crazy how much alcohol fucks you
>>75370507>>75370516my 15 year "weight loss" graph would show me starting at 280, ending at 260, with 220 at the lowest and the mean at 240. it truly never ends. but this time it will be different lol
>>75370563I've been kiked into using it, the free trial expires tomorrow and i'm willing to bite the bullet for 6 months plan, I feel ilke I can make it within that timeframehaven't tried any of the other apps, just tried this one first and it works
>>75370567Same. Since 2014, I've gone from 260 to 205, then back up to 250, back down to 220, back up to 240. I mapped it out and every weight gain is paired to a traumatic experience. When I went from 205 to 260 it was when my aunt and my 4 of my grandparents all died within a 3 month span.
>>75370564Quitting drinking is always a good idea, especially if it's habitual.I drink socially every two-three weeks, though.I generally don't count calories on these days, nor do I try to "compensate" for them - I just accept the L and move on. I do tend to skip all the food before the event, if I'm aware it's coming though.And since I've been consistently mindful of my diet for the last ~five months, I find it easier to not deliberately overeat while drinking.Like, even when I'm drunk, I'm aware that>yeah, I'm actually full enough, I don't really need more food
>>75370078I'm a fucking idiot and new to this stuff. How do i stop myself from eating so much sugar? I have no self control around it. Should i keep using the rowing machine or should i just lift weights?
>>75370593Eat less food with sugar in it, no sweets fatty
>>75370593If you drink soda replace it with diet/zero. Other than that there is no solution other than self control. Sugary shit isn't really much to do with feeling full, it's basically fully psychological. As for the rowing vs lifting question it's nonsensical. A rower is cardio, it's serves a different purpose compared to lifting.
>>75370564>Its crazy how much alcohol fucks youit really does man. it goes something like:>have a beer>mood lightens a bit>"oh a snack is fine">"another beer wouldn't hurt">feeling good>"fuck it">inhale some garbage foodevery time
>>75370593
>>75370374>/vg/ general
>check BMI>it's 29.1Bros...I'm no longer obese.I'm just overweight now.
>>75370635congrats fatty, keep up the good work
>>75370635leave some pussy for the rest of us bro, i'm still at 32.4 need a couple more months
26.8 here
>>75370655I reached 24.8, which I guess means I'm cured from my fattiness, except I still look like shit.I probably need to go deeper into the green to lose the belly.
>>75370669You building muscle/lifting weight while doing that?Makes it way easier to have no belly in the green.
>>75370673I am lifting weight yes. Whether muscle is being built remains to be seen..
>>75370581I posted it in a previous thread but >nonstop weight gain for about 12 years, with a small attempt to lose it>First real try lose 80lbs>Covid happens>Gain it all back over 3 years>Actual real attempt no I'm super serious you guys this is SERIOUS #2 (you are here)
>>75370635Congratulations anon, keep it up.
>>75370612>say no to popcorn>the most calorie-smart snack to curb cravingsbrother?
>>75370849>cravingsJust say no to cravings.Popcorn is full of anti-nutrients and empty carbs and fat.
>>75370860You stupid. Just air pop it.
>>75370864>antioxidantsVegetables are trash sources for that.Digestion.>stupid fiber myth again>Heart healthTraces of potassium which "may" do something lmao>Needing popcorn for Vitamin C>vegetable protein counting as good proteinLmao, okay champ eat your goypop.
I lost 4.8lb this month. 2lb being fat, 2.9 being muscle. 113 min of cardio for the week. 21862 lbs of weights moved. I almost shit myself during cardio last night. Fuck this shit. I am going to keep at it, but I am losing faith.
I am cooking the hassleback potato now, instead of all the butter recipes want I'm using some turkey bullion to add flavor and just a spritz of oil to crisp it up, should be ready in another half hour tops
Has anyone else had insane benefits from chewing the shit out of their food? I'm talking taking 45 minutes to eat 700 calories. I'm losing 2 pounds a week because I have no appetite.
Fatty ContestHouse_Hippo227.6
Fatty ContestFasstano127.4kg
5 hours left in the dayAte 350 calories so far today. Quite impressive how little appetite I got today. Almost fell asleep from tiredness Im going to eat 500-600 calories now. Probably last meal of day
>>75370919Sure. Take your time having your meals. The US culture of, as the French would say, eating with a slingshot is harmful and a likely contributor to the country's overall diseating.There are studies showing chewing your food longer increases feelings of satiety (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26188140/ and such), while we have plenty of evidence that eating ultra-processed slop which is essentially predigested food that barely needs any chewing will instead keep you hungry.This is why I only eat carbs that come from whole fruits and vegetables, as their high fiber content and necessary chewing balance their carb loads.Now the ideal way to eat is not just to eat slowly, but in pleasant company as well. But that's harder.
Food is a cancer on this world
>weigh myself>digital scale reads 39.3kgGuess I lost 50kg. [spoiler]I need to buy a new scale ig[/spoiler]
Fatty ContestHawaiianShirt289lbs
>>75371008it's not just waiting between bites and taking your time, more chewing releases more saliva which kills your hunger signals
>>75370100Confession encourages honesty with self and others.
>>75370498Ahhh and coconut oil, or homemade rosemary and mint coconut oil. I love being soft abd smelling good.
>>75370906>2lb being fat, 2.9 being muscle.There is essentially 0 way to know this with any shred of accuracy. How do people not realize this at this point? Baffling stuff.
>>75371221people just ignore replies to the priest, I don't think it helps, see pic related from last thread, no one engages with these faggots so there's no peer pressureI also suspect the people confessing are always the same, I picture someone like this guy >>75370507 constantly priestposting and absolving himself of his binges, it becomes enabling or maybe they have a humiliation fetish
>>75370907It was ok, basically a more evenly seasoned baked potato, but I guess I can't complain that much was tasty
Todays final calories is about 1200 calories. Did some beginner weights (pushups and bicep curls, failed lateral raises the weight is too heavy). Overall successful day. Might even go for a small stroll outside later to burn a final 50 calories
at 0 calories myself at 10pm but i'm going for a bike ride so i can eat some food and be around net zero
>>75370482Nta but do you really need somebody to explain how you can cook things without oil? Even without the cope of using butter/lard/tallow you can steam vegetables and pan fry meat without oil. Its own fat gets the job done just fine.
Question to Anons who lost weight:How did you do it? How you handled hunger?
>>75370482Microwave?
>>75371577I put fork down and didn't pick it up.
>>75371577I biked for 1.5-2 hours per day so I could eat quantities that wouldnt leave me hungry while still being in a deficit
>>75370078Fatty ContestDrunkRetard147kg203cmHere are some nuns for you my weight lose Anons. Also what is your go to meal for weight lose? I'm sick and tired of eating the same fucking thing!
>>75371577Start walking anon. Walking isnt just about burning calories it regulates your hungerWhen you are sedentary your hunger will never be satisfied. You have 16 hours a day awake, you can do 1-2 hours of them walking.
>>75371622>sick and tired of eating the same thingDidn't you start dieting like 2 days ago
>>75371622Oven fries. If you get a good variety of potato that isn't watery as fuck they get very crispy. I do 1 tsp of oil for 500 grams and it's not as good as french fries but it's still really good and it's just 380+40 cals
>>75371577Honestly? I find the best way to handle hunger is to keep yourself busy. When I'm at work I complete forget I'm hungry even though I've only had a banana to eat. Laying in your bed all day trying to lose weight is akin to torture anon. Get a hobby, do somthing! Keep your self distracted!
>>75371630No its been two weeks!
>>75371622>>75371650>>75371686Using exclamation marks like this makes you sound like a stupid cunt retard
>>75371694> Chimp sperg rage over punctuation Ok buddy get back to your mr men books ok?
>>75371247You may be overthinking this. I've been on both side of the confessional, although just a couple of times each.The priest is a public service to encourage fatties to come forward with what they know they're doing wrong and what they want to improve.Spending any energy trying to stop that from happening is counter-productive.
Fatty Contest MilkBorn188Ugh!!
>>75371577i ate lessi didn't. i suffer and think about food every day
i woke up so late the store is already closedwe did itwe lost the fat
I ate a piece of bread my diet is ruined
>>75371577I started by obsessing about my "lifestyle change", because "diet" sounded too trivial. I researched everything. Nutrition, vitamins, supplements, exercise, metabolism. I became an expert in.. well, in nothing, obviously. You don't become an expert by reading 3 articles and watching 4 youtube videos.But I felt like I had a *handle* on things, you know? Like I had a plan. I had confidence on my side. Over-confidence, probably, but I wasn't going to let myself get bogged down in such details.So naturally I started tracking my food, activities and sleep just as obsessively. I bought a fitness tracker I slapped on my body. I logged everything I put in my mouth. I had charts. My charts had charts. It was beautiful, anon.With hindsight, it was perhaps slightly overkill, but it certainly allowed me to track what worked and what didn't, how well my intended calorie deficit aligned with my weight loss, the impact of exercise as well, etc.Nowadays, a few months later, I've relaxed a bit, but the foundations I laid down when I started are still there, and I still track everything fairly well.This is probably not a good approach for everyone, but if you see your wellness as a technical problem to be solved analytically, this might be for you.
>>75371833I'd agree that this approach is only good if you are a very good planner and organiser. If someone is somewhat lazy and drops off doing things it would only hurt more when they get to day 8 of their charts and realise they cant be bothered doing it anymore and then having the off-ramp to start binging I think your idea is good and its a worthy option to try but if it seems too daunting I think anon should go as simple as it gets. Literally put on a podcast thats 1-2hr per episode and then go outside and walk until its finished. EverydayThen eat at maintenance calories and theyll lose 1lb a week with added health benefits if theyre currently sedentary
I want to go to a gym because the machines are obviously going to be more effective then using dumbbells at home but i find myself procrastinating because i am worried about people seeing my obese ass, am i better off just using dumbbells at home for a while first until i lost some weight or am i better off just pushing through the anxiety?
>>75371241Baffling is people who assume that others are unaware of the accuracy issues and aren't accounting for it. I am sure you think everyone is an idiot but you.
>>75371986>the machines are obviously going to be more effective then using dumbbells at homeFor certain exercises but it's not a general rule Just go, I was in there at 360 lbs and never got any noticeable judgment or looks. I'm sure there's a rare shithead with shithead thoughts but they don't do anything and most people aren't paying attention to you, if they are it's just to be glad a fat is working on himself
>>75372011There is no way to account for it to that degree of detail. You have no earthly way of knowing you lost 2.9 fucking lbs of muscle lmao. And no, I don't think everyone is an idiot but me but I certainly do think you are quite the idiotic specimen.
>>75371986>the machines are obviously going to be more effective then using dumbbells at homeRows, lateral raises, bench and a bunch of other exercises are just as effective with dumbbells. If you have an adjustable bench and dumbbells that go up to 90lbs each you'll be able to make very good upper body gains for at least a year. Posterior chain and legs are a different story.
Weighed myself last thursday then had a weekend wedding where I really didn't pig out food wise but I drank quite a bit and then for this entire week I must have had at least a 1000 calorie daily deficit, probably more and weigh myself today and I'm the same weight. Shit sucks. I'll just cope and say its water weight I guess.
I'm going to spend 120 calories on an iced mocha
>>75372026I am typing what the scale says. You are the idiot assigning it more meaning. Anything under 5lbs can be water weight, but nobody should be tracking that either according to your shit logic. If it makes you feel better I can round up to the nearest 10. Here you go buddy. This month I lost 10lbs, 10lbs being fat and 10lbs being muscle. +/-10 lbs.
>>75372163Bodyfat measurement on scales is useless and wrong. Keep being stupid.
>>75372170keep raging about inaccurate numbers in a fat thread. Sorry your numbers are worse than mine fatty.
Why was this general so chill up until like a week ago
>>75372183Summer time in AustraliaNotorious shitposters coming in to lose fat for the summer
>>75372183Vote for me, and I promise you we will have peace again in our lifetime.
>>75372179Believe it or not you being stupid doesn't make me feel anything
>>75372202you replied four times without a shred of reason. Clearly you don't like to be questioned and it is pathetic. I don't care to guess if it is rage, sadness or just trolling. Let me post my shit if if you have nothing actually to say besides "u dum" fuck off. I am here to improve and inaccurate numbers are better than no numbers. I get numbers are scary for somebody like you. Especially the high ones your are seeing daily.
>>75370495I don't owe you people a weigh in, I am losing plenty of weight just fine eating intuitively following the signs my body sends me.

Was at a party all day today, was surrounded by pizza and cakes and pies all day and only had 3 slices of pizza and a piece of cheesecake for the entire day, and a normal dinner when I got home.Granted, I'm 6'4" so I get to have 2500 as a deficit. But it still felt like a little victory to not be a BITCH and give in to shit behavior.Down 2lb this week.
I'm starting to allow too many exceptionsTrying to stick to 1600-1700 calories daily and I went 200-400 over three of the last 4 daysTime to lock back in
>>75372736I'm at 178 and have an ugly little bifurcated gut that I tuck into my waistline, not sure it's ever going away at this point unless I cut lower... and even then I've seen pictures where it sort of sucks back up like a wrinkled scrotum, maybe it's not even worth itIt's very humbling leaving the fat rolls and chafed thighs behind just to still look all bony/saggy/flabby like the ice king, at least we're going to have our insecurities wrapped up warm for the winter
>>75372670I’m not sweating it, definitely a moment of weakness though. I typically snack on almonds.

>>75372805Goddamn, even a paunch could leave behind excess skin if I lose that weight? And it never goes away? Not to mention at the age of 40, losing weight is probably going to make me look older... Goddamnit.
Drank alcohol for the first time this year last night at a party... drank about 600 calories of rum and wine. Today I was hungover and felt like shit and ate 400 calories over my target. I tried to preemptively combat this by going on a big hike and submitting a mountain, ending the day I partied before the drinks on a 1500 deficit. It probably influenced me to eat more today now that I think about it.

>>75372747I mean probably, but it's mostly a blood pressure thing. Too much sodium gets you high blood pressure, too much potassium gets you low blood pressure, so you gotta stay in the happy zone.If your blood pressure is too high, you typically won't feel a thing, but it'll slowly damage your organs over time in a way that's hard to recover from.If you have a home blood pressure thingy, you can see easily enough if that's an issue for you or not.
Boys, I'm thinking I'm back.
>>75372872> 220 - ageI've also grown suspicious of the accuracy of such a simplistic formula.Using it, my fitness tracker was telling me that I was hitting zone 5 walking around the neighborhood, which seemed highly doubtful.So I bumped up my max heart rate by 15 bpm, and now the zones I hit are at least plausible.If you google around, they'll tell you to run uphill a few times and see what your heart rate can reach as a mean to measure your actual max heart rate, but that sounds like a lot of work.Still, assuming your watch works, you've got a new lower bound for your max heart rate now.
Former lardass here, from 5'10 240 to today 165. Kept the weight off for over a year now. On Saturday I got the number of an insanely beautiful and sweet gril, taking her out to dinner on Friday. A few years ago I'd never have imagined this was possible. It might not seem like it but there's a Chad buried under your blubber, you just gotta keep fucking digging and don't stop until you see him in the mirror. WAGMI

>>75370087After 4 months, I've started to slack when it comes to diet. I still have a rough idea of how many calories I'm taking in, but I'm not being as strict with what I eat. I'll eat pizza with friends, drink a Pepsi at dinner, eat a small piece of chocolate, etc. when I was far more choosy with what I ate before. I worry that I have 6 weeks left of dieting compared to the less than 5 I should have at this point. I can stop at any point, people I talk to want me to stop, I'm 5'9 and 142.9 lbs. But I want to make it all the way and drop the final 18. That's the goal I set for myself, and I'm closer than I've ever been.For the first time, I checked a comparison picture from 22 lbs ago and I actually see a significant difference from the side. I don't have any pics from 44 lbs ago when I started, but now I wish I did. But my willpower when it comes to food is wearing down. Only drinking water, only allowing myself a certain amount of food even if I'm still hungry, just the mental strain of it is so exhausting. I'm still doing heavy cardio everyday so I'm progressing overall, but I just want to fast for a week, but that will severely upset my family.
I’ve consumed 1,700 calories today, and shall consume none more
For some reason, I thought that most people don't like the taste of beef liver and commit to choking it down because of the health benefits. But I think it's delicious.

Come in right on 2000cals but need to work on meal timing, just hard when working 12hrs a day, plus 30min each way commutes. First meal is at 4:30am and by time I get home at 6:30 to have dinner I am starving. Will work on this. Made a poor choice by having sausage as my protein source for dinner with some potato and broccoli. Ridiculous high fat once I put it into MFP but I think a lot of it come out if the pool of fat in the bottom of the airfryer is anything to go by. Slowly piecing this fat loss business together.
>>75373531do you soak it in milk before hand? I was reading about beef liver and thought about giving it a shot.
>>75373583No, I just add salt, pepper, and butter.
Fellow fatties! Don't fall for the chicken breast meme. Use chicken thighs! Just put some spices on and stick it in a cold oven. The fat will render and will provide better Maynard reaction than chicken breast ever can dream off. The meat will be way more tender and with no need for extra oil.

I keep having schizo thoughts that my weight loss is pointless or even detrimental because we'll have a global food chain collapse before 2029.
>>75373749Well yeah, if you don't diet and stop eating we will run out of food.
>>75370078Hey bros - I'm just here for a little update and I guess needing some life advice. I started the weight loss journey 3 years ago. lost about 30-40% body weight and got quite fit. abs and all that. I was 29 years old kissless virgin.I finally grew the balls to jump on tinder 3 months ago. The results after 3 months of non stop swiping and a lot of effort:3 active friends with benefits (one can be my GF if I wanted to)10+ dates20-30 new girls added to IG who can hit me up at any time in the last year to see each other (2 already have)obv lost virginity and have a lot of sexgot good at kissingconfidence off the roofThe problem:I am getting bored of it. Out of my 3 fwbs I like one and have a crush on her - she doesn't want anything serious and is also seeing other guys occasionally. The others are cute, the sex is great but there is no emotional attachment. besides this, its also VERY expensive - I can afford it but I could be saving a lot of money.thirdly, my work life is getting affected. I am working less and less and talking to chicks more and more - no promo for me this xmas. I am thinking to myself - I just take a break from this shit. I keep what I can keep in terms of the fwbs and hookup every few weeks or so but stop with the 5-6 dates a week. Focus on gym/career/money for 4-5 months, then do a cut in the summer and just repeat what I did now. What do people think of it? Is it normal to get bored of being a manwhore in less than 3 months? Like honestly, right now I just don't care too much if one of the girls comes to mine today to fuck as its literally gona be fuck number 40-50 for this month and i'm just so over it - why is this?

>>75373770Being a manwhore is the same as eating cake or sniffing cocaine or drinking alcohol.It's pleasurable but you are doing it as an escape from something. You need actual life fulfillment and being told you are hot and having sex scratches that itch for a bit but eventually you realise you're a hamster on a treadmill chasing the dragon like a drug addict
First day at a deficit
>>75374025Ngmi
Why am I so fucking hungry brosI'm only at 23% bodyfat and I still eat in excess of >1000 calories beyond maintenance every day if I just let my hunger guide me
>>75374126Years of conditioning to overeat.>>75374062We are all gonna make it
I'm starting day 3 of a 72hr fast. Weighed myself and I'm -3 pounds (215) but that could just be normal fluctuation.Anyway, something unrelated:I want to try going to a bouldering/climbing gym near me. Is it a good idea if you're 30 pounds overweight? Seems like all the people who go there have skinny runner's bodies. I'd feel more insecure being there than a normal gym. I've wanted to try climbing for a while though.
>weighed self>261>shit>257I had no idea you could take a 4lbs shit wowo
4 months into the deficit, couldn't even tell you the last time I felt happy. The grind continues.
>>75374194How big is your deficit? I have found more success if I can enjoy my deficit than trying to lose as much as I can as quickly as possible
I probably ate around 2200 calories yesterday and I feel like shit. I'm going to try to fast today to make up for it. How do you survive family get togethers? I can't weigh the food or figure out what ingredients were used, and if I take too little I'll get an earful about "starving" myself.
>>75374216Deficit is around 1000cals not adding the exercise I'm doing.
>>75374126Eat less and as your stomach shrinks you will feel less hungry and get used to lower intake. It sucks but drink water and eat water heavy snacks like fruit for satiety.
>>75374217Unironically it's fine to enjoy yourself once in a while anon, in moderation with limits. The problem is habitual over eating or spiraling into binging from bad days. Tomorrow is a new day.
>>75374255That really doesnt sound too bad, I assume your tdee is like 2800 and you eat 1800Everyone has breakpoints, try going up 100 cal or down 100For me 1500, 1800 and 2400 work way better than 1700, 2000 and 2200
Fatty ContestBetterNateThanLever328.9 lbsShirked my cardio too much last week, need to get back on my bike. But I'm feeling hopeful that I can get to under 300 by the end of the year. If not, then at last close to it.
>>75374288Im eating around 1600cals a day at the moment, dunno just makes me feel sad.
>>75374295At least*
>>753742551000 deficit + exercise is pretty miserable.I've done a 500 a day deficit for like 9 month in a row and it was relatively pain free. The downside is it took people like 6 month before they asked if I'm losing weight (and im not that big to start with) but it was pretty easy and I didnt feel like caving very often.I'm now at 1000 calorie a day deficit and the cravings are harder and Im finding it way harder to motivate myself to do stuff. My body is resisting by making me lazy. I've only been doing the 1k calorie a day deficit for 2 week and I doubt I will keep it going for longer than another 3 week.You can always step down to 500 calorie a day deficit including exercise to give yourself some respite. It's still progress. Remember the goal here is to never cave and instill a permanent lifestyle change and rather than going until you break at a massive deficit why not step down to 1lb a week weight loss for a month. Thats still 4lb
>>75374126my brother in god, chew each bite 50 times. you will not be hungry anymore.
>>75374313Yeah I might reduce it honestly but most of the time I don't even feel hungry anymore, just sad.
>tfw the "dry fasting" anon who was trying to lose 30 lbs in 30 days has fucking diedanother victim of sensationalism
>>75374555Good, he deserved it. It amazes me how many people show up for a few days and then just disappear. Like that gnome faggot or the guy who was trying to make himself shower and brush his teeth daily.
>>75373604Chicken thighs are my go-to. Vastly prefer them over breast meat but it does have a bit more calories. I wouldn't call it a meme THOUGH.Recently cooked chili with a couple thighs in it instead of ground beef. So fucking good.
>>75374295>10 weeks left in the year>29 pounds to goYou can easily do it, 3lbs a week is ez pz at your weight. Just stay focused on your goal.I'm trying to break out of Class II before the year is over. Its shrimple as continuing to do what I've been doing for the last 5 months - eat less dummy.

>>75374564dont forget the fat bald amerimutt that kept posting pictures of himself and trying to flirt with the anorexic underaged bulimic "girl"thank fuck they are gone
>>75374285Thank you. I'm just so worried I'll spiral if I'm not perfect. I felt so close to binging yesterday.

>>75374144Climbing is one of those things that is risky even if you are skinny. You can fall and break your neck and its gg. If you are still fat I would consider other activities such as hiking/swimming. But I'm not a risk taker, if you want to do it go ahead just be careful and don't act stupid and push yourself too far.
>>75374275>Eat less and as your stomach shrinksI think this is a myth, I've been dieting for almost a year and am still just as hungry as I was day one. I can easily eat just as much as I did before. There is no shrunken stomach, this is just cope.
>>75374707You must be a mutant. I literally cannot physically eat as much as I used too, and this is a widely reported side effect of reducing intake.
>>75374717I have never seen any proof of the size of the stomach shrinking. It's just your mental habits changing.
Lost 20 pounds on diet last year, broke my foot, shifted into maintenance, started dieting again finally as I had gained about 5 of the points back, now finally lost them all and now below 180 for the first time on a decade
>>75374707>>75374717This is a myth. Your appetite is what changes, not your stomach. That stretched out stomach from eating barrels of slop is yours to keep forever
My strategy to losing weight is so simple but so effective>Wake up>Don't eat for 4 hours. Easiest time to stave off cravings because your body is already in a fast from sleeping. Just dont eat for 4 hours. You get used to it very quickly. >After 4 hours go for a walk for 1 hour (3 miles) which will burn over 300 calories.>eat breakfast for 300-400 calories. >don't eat until youre hungry again or until 3-4 hours has passed>youre now at 8 hours into the day at net zero calories>2 meals left max>eat 2 600 calorie meals>optional further exercise and weights to further temper weight loss and body recomposition
>>75370087father, i do not know if i have sinned, yet i feel guilty. you see, each day last week i ate fewer than 1500 calories. however, the internet is screaming that a male man should never go below 1500. what should i do?
>>75374918Rebel against the populous.Eat 1499 kcal/day and see if they can stop you.
>>75371577i handled hunger by eating more protein. a container of greek yogurt for an ounce or two of beef jerky will satiate me for hours. if i eat a cookie for the same amount of calories, i only want to eat 6 more cookies. if i eat chips for the same amount of calories, i only want to finish the bag. knowing this, i do not even consider those options when i'm feeling hungry. protein (and specifically greek yogurt a couple times a day) has changed my life.
>>75373770So you have 3 dildos you ram up your ass?
Nothing in life is more difficult than taking a shit, my bowels don't work.
>>75370087I couldn’t raw dog food anymore so I got myself Thai peanut sauce.
>>75374144Same here. I’m losing weight to go to the running gym. Learn how to tumble. The less weight the more safe you are. But 30lbs isn’t too bad compared to others I’ve seen take it up.
>>75375001fiber
>>75374750There's no documented correlation between stomach size and obesity. What does change drastically due to people's diets are hormone levels, namely leptin and ghrelin.
>>75374868I know once I get lower and need to scrounge more calorie deficit from meals I'm gonna start skipping breakfast. >Why not start now?I do some days but not consistently.
>>75375001If you're actually constipated, use a stool softener like docusate calcium.Otherwise, eat more fiber and drink coffee or a high caffeine energy drink to get things going in the morning.I really like the high fiber keto friendly tortillas.70 calories and like 17 grams of fiber, quite tasty.
>>75375048 >>75375118>fiberYeah because throwing more shit into a clogged pipe is going to open it up, right guys?
>>75374308Increase it then
I've been having staggered plateau drops over the past month, never all the way, it's like I go right back into a plateau for over a week after the one day with a big drop.
>>75375198Ok fiberschizo whatever you say fiberschizoLet me spoonfeed you by basically writing my post a second time.If you're constipated (clogged pipes), take a stool softener.If you just don't have regular BM's because of lower food intake, eat more fiber and drink some caffeine in the morning and it will stimulate your gut if its normal but just not doing much.Fiber works because its high volume but low density - it fills up your gut so it moves your shit out of you. If you're constipated because your shit is high volume and high density, thats a separate issue.Fucking hell the creatures in this thread I swear to god.

>>75375198>>75375255>>75375395>>75375979Fiber is literally indigestible. You do not need fiber because your body can't do anything with it and your GI tract will actually function better without it. Fiber causes bloating and promotes the growth of gut bacteria which digest fiber, which doesn't help you because you're not a ruminant animal, and displaces gut bacteria which will actually help you digest foods that you get nutrients from. And the nutrients in plants are often the wrong form which your body can't use, sucks at converting to a useable form, or they are locked away in the indigestible fiber where you can't access it because you're not a cow.
