>>75582669You have no idea how much I want to pound this moody bitch.
Threadly reminder.
If i don't regularly eat much cheese nor do i eat cured meats, how would i know its 100cal per slice on average? For a thin slice?
>>75582765Weigh everything.
>>75582769I'm thinking about coming my family that a food scale would be useful, but they're intuitive eaters. I watched my sister drink a gallon and a half of of milk because she "craved milk" and just kept having glasses. Shes about 20BMI given she's 5'4" and was excited to hit 120lbs. They're all healthy weight except my mom who's overweight and has a sugar problem, and me who liked to overeat and eat junk, but they find my counting calories unhealthy and eating disorder pilled. I think if I get a scale and start weighing all my food they'll talk about hospitalizing me. At the very least sit me down and have a serious talk about how I take food too seriously. They don't at all understand my weightloss goals or why maintenance matters so much.

>>75582669How do you fix anterior pelvic curve and how long will it take? I've lost all this weight only to realise that I've still got a gut because my back is pushing it forward. I didn't even realise my back was this bad till I lost 50lbs. I'm not skinny or anything but I should look better for my weight at this point
>>75582806Thats absurd. Weighing your food for the purpose of healthy weight loss is essential. You don't need permission to take control over your own health, labeling calorie counting as an eating disorder is fattie cope and mainstream retardation
>>75582765The slices of baby swiss that I buy are that size and one 60 calories. Everday for lunch I do two open face sandwiches with a slice of that swiss 1.5oz of ham and 1.5 oz of turkey each. The daves thin sliced whole grain bread is delicious and it leaves me pretty full for under 500 calories.
>>75582817They just know what works for them, anything other than eating what you want when you're hungry seems obsessive.>>75582819It's not really an every day thing, dinner to night was just a charcuterie board with a baked thing of brie covered in apricot jam. That was dinner. Meat cheese and crackers. So I ate meat cheese and crackers. I don't tend to snack much, if i do i log it first to make sure it'll fit in my day, I'm also not much of a straight cheese eater so I figured I'd broaden my horizons. For a bulk I'm sure this is God tier though
>>75582842i could eat all that in one sitting and still want more
I tried getting a long black instead of my usual cappucino today at my local coffee shop and it almost put me off coffee. Think Im just going to experiment with instant. I am going to make it dammit
>>75582870I wouldn't be able to sacrifice my morning cappuccino, life needs to be worth living
>>75582870try espresso
>>75582669I still look like shit. I'm hoping to hit 108 by February.
>Lose weight for summer>Tan in my backyard>Now have moles with pale white circles around them on my torsoWell there goes that dream. Guess I'll never look good shirtless.
>>75582966Reminder that the acceptable amount of colors on any given mole is one. One color. Two colors is suspicious. Three colors is right out.Don't hesitate to visit a dermatologist about it. Those guys unironically love staring at moles.Heck, they might even cut one or two off of you to keep as a souvenir.
>>75582901If he couldn't stomach diluted espresso, what names you think he'll like it undiluted? >>75582870Americanos usually use a little more water, but in general drinking any form of coffee black is a separate acquired taste. It also makes the quality and the flavor of the beans a lot more important.
320lb 6'3” dude herehow realistic is my goal of getting under 220 by november next year. willing to do pretty much fucking anything as this is probably my one and only shot at not dying a wizard for reasons i will not elaborate further on, already tried a week of limiting myself to 1500 calories and while hard i can manage. My biggest gripe is with exercise as my ankles start hurting pretty badly after half an hour of walking, I tried swimming last week but the pool is pretty damn far away from my home and going there every day is not really realistic with me working part time and attending college. Cooking tips would also be greatly appreciated, peas, chicken and rice is starting to get really stale.
Having a social life and dieting is hard anons. I watched my friends eat 2 pizzas today. I know I am being autistic by not eating but I don't want to spend more days than necessary being fat.
>>75583030Start lifting, it will stop your body from burning muscle mass and maybe even preserve some, which will allow you to burn extra calories. About your ankles maybe it is shoe related? If it isn't lifting will help in any case.I recommend you to add chickpeas to your cooking arsenal. Tofu is also great. I also think bread and pasta are ok if you can control yourself and not eat a fuck ton of them. I don't think rice should be the only carb source for any diet.
>>75583030i'm 6'0 and lost 26 pounds over the last three months, that would be right around 100 in a year, so yeah, i'd say it's doable. if you are just concentrating on losing weight, i would totally get a kettlebell and do swings three times a week. you can do a lot of other stuff, but swings are the fat loss go to.for food, you'll get a million opinions, what works for me is: milk, eggs, meat, vegetables, and fruit. plus sauerkraut or kimchi everyday. i don't skip out on fat, because not eating it makes me miserable. intermittent fasting is another thing i do every day, skip breakfast and never snack.
>>75583030Very doableExercise-bike and elliptical for cardio
>>75583030I'm 255 right now, I was 355 in late MayDidn't do anything crazy, around 1700 calories a day, incline treadmill and lifting 3-5 times a week and walking at least 3 miles on off days I'm 6" shorter though. Probably around the same type of tdee when factoring higher starting weight
Good work lads
>>75583030>I need to lose exactly 100lbs in 11 months or I won't get laidYou won't get laid anyway
>Driver's licenses says 6'0">Measure myself now at 35> 5'10.5"Is it possible to unmanletized myself and get my height back if I lose weight and fix my posture, or am I doomed?
>>75583169It all depends when you take your height. Over the course of the day most people shrink about 1-2 inches in height due to spinal compression.
>>75582700NTA as the gnome retards with their>my meals are x100 bigger and they are all 200 kcal!can fuck the right off, but you can certainly use less EVOO.In fact, looking at your meal, you can get away with 2~3g of it and not lose any flavor.You can even use the calories you just freed up to add some butter to your rice - that'll improve the flavor considerably.
>>75583200im not concerned about flavour, its tasty enough for me. i have thought about changing to olive oil spray though, its only 13 calories in a few sprays.
>>75583208I rarely put oil in the pan, nowadays.Instead, I try to put it on the food I'm about to fry.Sliced chicken for example, you need to cover in salt and seasoning anyway. Might as well put some oil directly on it while you're at it.
>>75583218My oven has a basket so I just airfry everything and never use oil anymore.

starting round two of weight loss. After I did 1500 kcal / day for half year and then took a couple of months of break, my new goal is 70 kg (BMI 21)
Do you guys have experiences with diet breaks? I am thinking about doing one since my hunger has been abnormaly high lately but it feels so wrong to eat at mainentance before hitting my goal
>>75583398I'm >>75583380I took a break once I was no longer fat (106 kg -> 76 kg) because I caught myself often losing the required discipline and half-assing the calorie count. It helped me. I've been back to dieting after a couple of months break for a week now and I'm motivated once more. However, I'm taking it much slower this time, since there's no need to go fast anymore. I'm normal weight now and I register as such
How much am I meant to eat? I did 24k step at work and went to the gym.

ate so much pastrami and pulled pork at work christmas party yesterday night, the only event i let myself go. probably totaled somewhere between 3500-4000 calories. it semi ruined the evening for me, idgaf about the calories but i felt so sick from all this salty shit + carbonated (zero) drinks :(scale says +4kg lmao which was to be expected after all that salty ass food. gonna train legs and eat as little as i feel like (prob anywhere around 500-800 kcal) and continue as normal tomorrowfuck i love pastrami so much its unreal, they really got me with that one

Quite disappointed in myself this week. Barely moved.
>>75583801keep at it, suddenly it just drops out of nowhere
>>75583807No. I meant physically. Didn't 10,000 any day. Didn't even 6000 any day.
>>75583813best time to go was yesterday, second best time is right now
So after lifting for 4 months with no real sense of direction but just as an add-on for weight loss, I started reading about it and I'm kind of scratching my head a little. People really add on 5lbs per session? How? That's like 2kg. I also don't get this thing of only repping to 5 it makes no sense to me.
Mounjaro does not even do anything (I'm on the 5mg dose), anyone else had this experience? I still never feel full.
>>75583888Opposite for me, i'm currently on 7.5mg. I've done 1 month on 2.5mg, 2 months on 5mg and now 3 months on 7.5mg and i've felt full the entire time. I've lost 85lbs in 6 months. I have found the long i stay on one dose for, so several months on 7.5mg, the more i feel full and the less side effects i have.
>>75583846My dumbbells go up in 2.5kg increments and I was able to increase each session in the first few months. At a certain point your "noob gains" will plateau and then you have to actually eat protein + at a calorie surplus to keep getting stronger. > I also don't get this thing of only repping to 55 reps is for building strength. Bodybuilding/training for looks usually is within the 6-12 rep range for multiple sets.
>>75583895It might be because I've used ozempic in the past so my body has built up some tolerance to this type of drug. Hopefully it works on 7.5mg though.
>>75582909It looks like you lost an entire chin, don’t be so hard on yourself!
>>75583846fuck did i just read
>>75582952Some of us here are short. My sedentary maintenance for my goal weight is about 1500cal, I ate 1648 in one meal. I'm not giving up i didn't eat anything else last night I was just disturbed.>>75582854Exactly it's a snack tray.

>>75582669Are "calories consumed by exercise" calculators accurate?i bought a treadmill and wanted to walk specific amount of caloriesi found this one:https://www.omnicalculator.com/sports/walking-caloriedoes it seem accurate?
>>75583987Think the general consensus is just not counting exercise calories and sticking to TDEE. If you do a bunch of exercise and stick to your TDEE (do NOT 'allow' yourself extra calories because you were on the treadmill for an hour) it's a surefire way to lose weight.
>>75583837You inspired me. Went for an hour.

Fatty ContestKenloBorther249.0lbs I dropped my mile time below 9 min this week for the first time since college, feels pretty good.
I have been going for the entire year to the gym doing cardio for 6 days a week. I basically mix walk and run until I burn around 500-700 calories.The problem is I am still overweight, still have the chub. I am not obese I just have the chub.I also counted calories all year. I got rid of pasta, bread, sugar, steak, pork, soda and for the entire year I only ate chicken and salad and very rigorously tracking calories to be in the deficit. I even stopped masturbating for the entire year. But I still have the chub... I mean what the actual fuck. I am seriously considering getting something like ozempic or some shit that can

I had a cup of coffee with heavy cream and sugar today.For fucked am I?
>>75584232Are you 5'5 or a woman? Why did you want to drop that far?
I started a new medication that's causing nausea and making it really hard to eat. Not exactly pleasent but I'm going to seriously lose weight if I keep this up.
>>75584262It's a joke you moron
>>75584273Alternatively Zofran would be the best course of action, but beware that it causes constipation and you should consume natural laxatives like coffee and oranges/apples/pears. Worst case a legitimate laxative that's not the type to cause painful and forceful contractions.Take a vitamin if you can, especially if you have a condition already that requires serious medication.

>>75584467Okay, I'd never be able to estimate like you do and make it work, too many variables if you're eating pre-made foods/sauces etc. no idea how many cal would be in that maybe less than 1000 but with the syrup who knows

We're talking vibrant fresh fruits, wonderful cheese, some refreshing milk, piece of sourdough bread with some butter. The possibilities are endless. It's really eye opening when you start prioritizing and treating your calorie budget with a little respect. You do not have the time, the room or even the desire for slop anymore.

>>75582669Hey anons, is it ok to eat only 1000 calories a day for a month? I'm going to do a diet on New Years where I'll have 400 calories of slimfast or another MRS then 600 calories of a protein heavy meal.
>>75585982Its possible, but I wouldn't
>>75585982It's almost certainly fine, but think of your calories in term of deficit. If your maintenance is 1200, that's a 200 calorie deficit. Baby's first calorie deficit.If on the other hand your maintenance is at 3000 calories, this is going to be a whole thing, and probably not a sustainable one.
>>75585599source pls
>>75585994>>75585990I guess I should've included info about me.I'm 20 pounds overweight and started losing weight 2 years ago starting at 310 pounds. I do have experience with losing weight and I think I could do a major deficit for a month. Eating 1000 calories would put me at about a 900 calorie deficit before exercise/ my physical job is factored in.thx for the advice
>>75586012If you are going to do it you need some basic supplements to not be nutritionally deficit and feel like shit. Fish oil, multivitamin, magnesium and calcium. Do you want a copy of the scientific guide to crash dieting? It's how I did it

>>75586072I don't mean "feel guilty" (altho maybe a bit of that too).I literally mean I physically feel like shit all the time now that I'm using it again, compared to the what felt "normal" while I was off it."Take the edge off" is a giant cope. Nicotine just adds stress and ruins sleep quality leading to more stress and anxiety. My excuse is that it's a nice treat/vice with 0 calories that isn't drugs or alcohol. Which is a cope too.
some please call me a failure and I’ll use my anger if that insult to lose weight
>>75582812First part of fixing posture is constant, conscious effort. I also highly suggest deadlifts. Good luck
>>75586078>my blood pressures goes from "trying to kill me" to "very healthy" simply because I stopped binging on garbagenature is cruel, too
>>75582909I am also over halfway to my goal weight but still look like shit. The truth is, we’re still overweight. If you look halfway better you still look bad. Motivation to keep going. Good luck

>>75583030It is definitely possible. Weight loss to this extent has been done by many people but failed by many, many more. >cooking tipsHot sauce, seasonings, low calorie marinades, filling nutritious foods (that don’t taste amazing so you won’t crave them 24/7)and getting tired of food isn’t even that bad, maturity towards your sacrifice
>>75586078Humans feel a small measure of pain when they have to look at or interact with ugliness. Fat people are ugly. If you lose fat you take some of that mental burden away from the people who are forced to look at and interact with you, putting them in a better mood. Conversely attractive people make people who look at them feel good. Its just how our brains are wired.
>>75583169being thin definitely makes you look taller but it is more of an illusion
>>75586078What they should love you just for existing? Society isn't your mother
>>75586111I feel like its relative beauty rather than absolute that matters though. Like imagine back in the day when everyone had crooked teeth and were dirty and unwashed. You think they felt a constant disgust response, because I actually doubt that.

>>75585586I have never made it but I am closer today than I have been in a very, very long time
How long is the road from not-overweight to actually having a decent looking body?
>>75586142depends on you
>>75586037>Do you want a copy of the scientific guide to crash dietingYes please
>>75586142All depends on your effort and genetics. 6-12 months is a good range.
>>75586118>Like imagine back in the day when everyone had crooked teeth and were dirty and unwashed.In every place and every age, people have practiced personal hygiene. Its a bit of a myth that people at any time didn't clean their bodies and just walked around dirty all day.Its true that people up until very recently didn't immerse their entire body in hot water with soap every day, but that's not the only way to keep yourself clean. Several cultures have you change your linen undergarments several times a day as they accumulate sweat, wash up with a cloth and a basin of water, and just rubbing their bodies with things that smell nice.
>>75586111This is why I hate when people say "no one cares what you look like", because they do on a subconscious level and it affects how they interact with you
>>75586142anon if you are not overweight [spoiler]and dont have loose skin[/spoiler] you have a decent looking body
>>75586291you know what he meant dumbass, go back to r*ddit if you want to be that guy
>>75586142>want to lose 25kg>half a kilo a week>50 weeks>almost a yearits over
>>75586302Tempting as that offer may be, I have decided to disregard it and instead choose to be that guy right here
>>75586291This was posted a little while ago and thought it was a pretty good demonstration of how important body composition is on appearance. dude traded 3 KG of fat for muscle and it made a world of difference despite being the same weight.
>>75582669Anons, weird question but what's the point of drinking a 400 calorie meal replacement shake vs eating 400 calories of a chicken salad or something? Are MRS mainly just for people who don't like eating or something?
I feel retarded for not knowing this trick, so I'll let other retards like me here know:If your grocery store sells Chicken Breast or pre-packaged meat at a flat price per pack, grab the package that has the greater printed weight.Almost picked up 0.9kg of chicken breast when I noticed the printed weight, managed to find a 1.1kg pack for the same price. Didn't know the weights had that much variance.
>>75586428I buy huge packs in bulk, it usually way cheaper when you buy in bulk, separate them into individual breasts and freeze them. I have a box freezer out in the garage. That I keep them in. I buy like 6 months worth of breasts at a time.
>>75586321It's not over anon. I took it one day at a time and tried to enjoy the positive changes I saw: weight going down, belly getting smaller, diet getting better, and so much more. Admittedly I could've done a lot better but I'm happy (and a bit proud) of my progress so far. I'm still going but I'm very close to my goal that I originally aimed for, which was just to be lean with a bit of muscle definition.
>>75586472Tbh also if people lose weight extremely rapidly then they get larger amounts of loose skin. It’s what makes ozempic face sometimes.
>>75586472>couldve done bettermy ass. thats absolute insanity. i had a similar transformation, but it took years. good on you
>>75586080Go post your body in CBT and say you're happy with your progress and almost there

>>75586480Ozempig face is a strange myth. It's malnourished face in "real" cases because they've become anorexic, and just a slim face in most people because shocker they lost weight. The rate doesn't seem to matter as much as >how fat>how long fat>how many regains>how old>how good was/is skincare>how good/bad are genetics
>>75586420The only point for me is when I need to hit protein goals and don't have enough calories to get there with normal eating habits. Higher protein ratios in the drinks but they don't satisfy like food
>>75586480What? The only real examples I see are skeletons and old women
>>75586549
>>75586420Either for when you're too full to eat or just convenience

>>75586577Did you read the company name? That’s what everyone looks like if they lose weight rapidly in the before. She got fillers to make her face look younger again.
>>75586614>if they lose weight rapidlyThe speed you lose the weight makes almost no difference. How long you've been fat, how fat have you been, how old you are, genetic factors, those will effect your skin elasticity.
>>75586592You should pick one up. Theyve had a small resurgence lately and theres a ton of models coming out every year. You can get them for like 10 dollars on amazon now (the ones in my picture are like 500 dollars together).

>>75586624I don’t understand why people think this is the only part of it. Why do people lose any facial fat left in their face from using ozempic? It’s from rapid weight loss. This woman lost weight in a short amount of time from ozempic and look what happened to her. It’s inevitable.
People have started commenting on my weight loss. Not just older folks too.
>>75586639she looks better now?
>>75586677do you see the lines and shit on her face
>>75586649>tfw you're so fat and/or inconsequential that despite losing 70lbs no one has noticed, commented, or said anything yet.
>>75586639If she lost weight any other way she'd look the same. She's older, her skin doesn't have the elasticity it once had, she's likely been overweight for years.
>>75586639She looks better, just needs to actually smile and get some sleep and vitamins.
>>75586682Don't worry. Your skeletal system appreciates it.
Making a lot of progress with weight loss and i notice i'm becoming that douchebag that can't stop yapping about his weight loss. Anyone else experienced this and did you shut up about it eventually?
>>75586682they notice, they just don't say anything for some reason.
>>75586757It's normal to talk about things we feel passionate about and spend a lot of time thinking about. Weightloss is probably a big part of your life right now.
>>75586771It is my number 1 obession for sure. Though i recognize that it can annoy people and i would rather be complimented for it without me even having to mention it.
>>75586757>that douchebag that can't stop yapping about his weight lossfuck that, talk about it as much as you want, it helps you filter out people who don't actually support you.

>>75586773I get it and congrats but don't be that guy. Once you lose enough and especially once you get muscular it's all people will talk about around you. They will compliment you sarcastically while seething internally. Especially if you work around women.

I replaced all my unhealthy snacks with raw fruits and nuts, and otherwise it works great, but it appears that raw nuts especially give me horrible stomach pain if I eat more than like 20 grams in a single day. Other than raw nuts that I find in stores are almost always roasted in oil, which adds tons of extra calories. Has anyone else had a similar experience? How did you solve it? Besides the obvious of just not eating nuts, but I'd still like to have something every now and then.
>>75587873>Too hungry to sleepNot a thing.>Should IYou should put the fork down, stop thinking about food, and go to sleep.
>>75586838... Huh?
>>75586919Aren't we all?
>>75587176My parents used to say that, and then also comment pretty detailed criticism of others in public with emphasis on their bodies, clothing style, and eating habits. My mom loved calling out "fat clown makeup" women. Or "miss piggy with the signature bright red lipstick". And I don't say it out loud but I know I do the same. Beautiful people stick out in a good way, fats disgust me completely, i often think about what I'd change about a person's appearance if I could, or how psychotic they must be for how they appear in public. The truth is: you are in public. You jave no expectations of privacy and you cant prevebt people from perceiving you. Just like on public profile Facebook you don't get to decide if everyone likes or ignores your post or is nice. "You have to be nice to me!!!" Says who? Even if I don't say it ithink it.

bro when im out walking, and i havent eaten anything all day, i am CRAVING the simple foods im going to eat when i get homei swear ive been daydreaming about eating an orange when i got home so badlyhunger truely is the best spice
im @ like 114, 33 bmi or whatever the fuck. i started fasting, no eating from 6pm till 10am. i never feel actually hungry and during my eating hours I'm trying to eat as little and as healthy as i can (i don't like healthy shit). banana + drink a strawberry yoghurt for breakfast for dinner like a kebab but without all the shit sauces, veggies and chicken so its not dripping in fat. is that ok or should i swap my meals for something even more healthy? also trying to stay consistent @ the gym
>>75588670>nearly 35 pounds so far (from 245 to 211.5)>barely notice a fucking differenceI went from 249 to 226 being 6'1 and notice a difference in my face and stomach. Just keep losing weight, how you lose it is determined by your genes. Keep on the grind.
>>75588679Because fasting is a meme that leads to LBM loss and rebound eating. You are simultaneously lowering your BMR and increasing ghrelin, lowers leptin, lowers testosterone, lowers igf1 production. Just retarded

>>75588489Thanks man, we are both gonna make it
>>75588729You should count your calories so you know exactly how much you're consuming. You should calculate your TDEE and then establish a -1000 calorie deficit from that TDEE. Then you should stick to that TDEE-1000 deficit until you're at a healthy weight. That's it, that's all you have to do.
>>75588729You have a very strange typing style. Anyway, a big question for all incoming fatties is this>healthy foodWhat is healthy food to you? And just because it's healthy, does that mean you eat it in any amount? Dairy is healthy BUT not generally good for weightloss. Meat is healthy but ground beef is full of fat and calories. Leafy greens are healthy but not drenched in dressing. Fruit is healthy but it's all sugar.
Here is a recipe for the hungry hungry hippos:Taco Bowl Sallad:500g of chicken mince ( 106*5 = 530kcal )1kg head of sallad ( 14*10 = 140kcal )250g black beans ( 90*2.5 = 225kcal )150g Salsa ( 40*1.5 = 60kcal )100g Sour Cream ( 1*194 = 194kcal )?g cooking oil ( 50kcal )Total: 1200~kcalChicken instead of beef for reduced calories.Skip cheese it's not worth it. Can double up the beans or meat and still stay under 1800kcal. Be very careful to measure how much sour cream and oil is used. 1.75kg food and around 100g protein with some carbs from the beans.

>>75589316Some final advice:Oven roasted seasoned vegetables are completely different from the bland and mushy boiled stuff. Another pro tip is to cook some protein in a pan, remove the meat and then deglaze the pan with vegetables to capture more flavour. Make sure you are only cooking with "whole" ingredients so no processed shit. It will be tastier, healthier and cheaper this way. Getting better at cooking using whole ingredients in general was something that really helped.Currently 88kg started at 109, we will all make it if we follow good advice
