>>75697580I’m trans
>>75697601Hi trans, I'm dad.
I consider myself in phase 2 of my fatloss. Dropped a lot of weight, hit plateu so got annoyed and just tried to do what I could to maintain for a while. Now phase 2 begins. It wont be as extreme as last time, but I will lose more weight again.
>>75697626You've got this. Steady and steady wins the race.
Is there a site or an app where you can I put specific foods and it will output what nutrients you're missing and in which other foods to find them?
>>75697665theres a website called eatthismuch that generates meal plans but idk how useful it is for micros
>>75697626Make us proud anon, I0m right here with you in the middle of phase 2.>>75697580Father, I'm having so much trouble sleeping weel lately, feeling more and more the desire to skip some workouts.
>>75697530If you’re not fat but have man boobs how the fuck do you get rid of them?what dumbbell exercise is the best and do push-ups help?
>>75697676If you're really not fat then it's gyno and surgery to remove actual breast tissue is the only optionIt could be very unfortunate fat placement genetics, there is no targeted fat loss you just have to eat at a deficit, drop weight, and see if they shrink - then when they don't, accept it or get the surgery
>scale not going down fast enoughIt's over......
>>75697580I finished off a bag of spicy cashews in 2 nights
>>75697693Surgery sounds so drastic.I’ve been fairly thin and had them and now I’m building my arms and chest and they are still noticeable.they never flatten or get tighter but they are not too crazy flabby.o suppose I’m just fucked.

>>75697713Bench and OHP have been helpful for me but at certain point there is likely too much loose skin and would need to be removed or getting really big again.

Okay so how do I prevent constipation? The crap I took earlier was compacted badly at the head end but the rest was normal aside from the fact it was like a turd python. Passing that initial part was like being sodomized by a baseball bat and my puckered anoose is still sore as I type this.It was a really shitty way to finish up what had been the best day I'd had in ages.
>>75693578Officially down to 239.4. total loss 8lbs. Put it in the last thread before realising there was a new one. 90lbs more to go.
Halfway through my first calorie counting week. Kind of surprising, I'm averaging 2k daily calories, which I thought would be more since I'm ~210 pounds. Probably my nutrition and body fat% is in bad shape.
>>75697127I just eat the snack. Some days I'm at a 100 calorie deficit and others I'm at 1000. Efficiency is not important to me. Losing weight in a sustainable and comfortable way is.
>>75697978You don't think 2k calories is a lot? Ngmi
Eating 1500 cals of raw beef daily with occasional egg yolks and fruits to shred down
How do you guys stop snacking. Eating untracked foods like spooning peanut butter out of the jar into my mouth, or yogurt, or cereal. Its going to be hard to stop so in for tips
>>75698087Fast for 3 days.It'll teach you to not snack.
I didn't lose weight today, it is literally over
>>75698087I eat cucumber when I want a snack. There's fuck all calories in it because it's mostly made of water.
>>75698035Well gee, it's almost like that's what I was told repeatedly was the 'healthy' caloric intake my entire life. But yeah, I see what you mean.

Fatty ContestLivingGod72.2kg
I recently gained new motivation to try losing weight. Not because it's le new year, but because there have been other changes in my life.>no longer work mon-fri, 8 hrs per day>now work sat-mon, 13 hours per day>now have four days a week of nothing, which feels liberating>previous excuse was that I'm "too tired from work" on weekdays, and "resting up" on weekends1. What are some good workout shoes for fat people?2. How long should I be working out on my days off? 1 hour? 2 hours? Is it possible to overdo it?Those are my only questions. There's already a plethora of knowledge on what to eat and what exercises to do, I'm just worried about time and equipment.
What should I meal prep for next week anonsI'm thinking something with sausage maybe (can be chicken/turkey sausage instead of pork)
>>75698194I always prefer soup. Easy to reheat and you can make lots of it at a time. If you want something meaty, then some chili could work too.
>>75698201I like soup but it always leaves me hungry for more after, need to turn it into noodle soupMaybe something like sausage and bean stew could work
started at 180kg and am almost at 140, but it's not very motivational when you lose 40kg and you still look the same.
>>75698217The less fat you have the more it shows. It's exponential, kinda. There is virtually no difference between 110kg and 140kg but 100kg and 80kg look very different. Just keep going on
>>75698228And the less fat you have the more annoying it is to get rid of it, I hear.I hope 110kg will look at least a little better than 140.
>>75698239Yeah it gets a bit slower when you go ~sub80kg It does a bit better but dont expect anything crazy
today i will break my 4 day fast with a kebab buffetfeels good man, i lose weight faster then any of these meme diet gays and also get to enjoy foodlife is good
>>75697580gained 10lbs over christmas-new years and was too afraid to even go into this thread to face my failure
>>75698212I quite regularly make a sausage, spinach and lentil stew. Feels hearty to eat, and freezes well.
>>75697580I lost 25 kgs two years ago. Thought that was it, but over the following 18 months I slowly reverted to my old ways and regained 15 kgs.Family keeps telling me shit like "you now have a much better starting point than two years ago, you're still thinner", but I look at the man in the mirror and I hate the fatty that I see.I'm 60 hours into the water fast now. I'm going to kill that fatty for good.
>>75697580I haven't looked at the scale in a month but I'm pretty sure I'm not progressing.
>>75698217Thats just how it is, you will mostly notice it in clothe size rather than body change but trust me the change is thereI barely saw any change from 120 to 90 and saw insane change from 90 to 80Keep going anon
>>75697580The most calories I have ever knowingly consumed in one sitting was over 4000. It is possible that I have eaten more than that without knowing.The most food by weight I have eaten in one sitting is 5 pounds. I only know this because this was for an eating competition.The most pizza I have ever eaten in one sitting is 19 slices.These confessions are three separate events, unrelated to each other.
>>75698384yeah the clothes size thing is true, and i guess the belt fitting a little tighter, and i guess my thighs rubbed together more.I'm both looking forward to being much thinner and at the same time not, because I know how much flabby skin there'll be.i'll keep going though. line go down.
>>75698387it can always be worse anon.I do nothing but OMADs, they come naturally to me, and 4000 kcal is my TDEE when i do nothing, so i ate daily what you consider your biggest regret of a meal, and often more.Just be glad you're getting away from that.
>>75698378You are progressing alright, but in wrong direction

How messed up is our addiction to food if you start going kind of insane when you don't have it for like 8 hours?46 hours in and I'm losing it.
>>75698505the second day is the hardest.after that you start to feel tired as your body adjusts.after a while you just stop craving, for the most part.
>>75698505>FastingRetard
>>75698539Post body w timestamp then I'll do the same and we will see who's fatter
>>75698531I've never done more than two days, so that's good to know.
>>75698531>after a while you just stop cravingThen why are you still obese
>>75697580I use two scoops of protein powder with whole milk. I think people who recommend fast for everything are retarded.
I wish I knew the Hollywood secret to weight loss. Fuckers shift their weight up and down so easily.
If you exceed a certain weight fasting should be mandatory.
>>75698561Millions of dollars in incentive, private chefs and personal trainers.
>>75698564>FastingRetard
>>75698573Why has a fastard never once posted body?>Because they never lose weight
>>75698581>post body>in a fat threadWhy would someone who weighs lets say 250 pounds post their body?
I'm just not going to eat the food.I know, I know, I have to, or I'll go into starvation mode, or I won't learn proper dietary habits, but I'm just not going to do it is all (eat the food).
>starvation modethis was invented by facebook moms who try to lose weight but dont want to eat less
>>75698594So you agree, fasting is the way to go.
>>75698597Yes
>>75697455Yeaaah i forgot to search it before roasting because I was upset and had it at 350 instead of 300 so icoukd bake the rolls also which I made a mistake covering them for second proof so I ripped the tops off and they developed skins, didn't brown. Whatever, they taste like rolls. Meat therm broke so it was more rare than i would've liked but whatever it can just be nuked or pan seared. Mushroom soup actually turned out well and was nice to dip my roll in. >>75697505That would be broiling
>>75697713Just show us your boobies you could absolutely be exaggerating. If there anything firm in your boobies? Are THEY firm? Or just fatty like aby other fatty spot on your body? Are they perky, do you have large areola?
>>75697763What kind of dumbass thinks this? My sister tried cheating on the ASVAB and now it's just public shame.
>>75697978Well, how long have you been eating 2k? An extra 100cal can be a pound a month or 12lbs a year. That aside, are you counting EVERYTHING you eat and drink, all butter abd cooking oil even what you use in a pan or recipe? Are you calculating recipes and portions with at least measuring spoons/cups?
>>75698194Baked potatoes green beans and just do a roast and portion it out
wow wow i should stop my fast right now and eat kfc instead
>>75698597Eat less=/=eat nothing
>>75698561"Here's 10 million dollars if you lose 50 lbs within 3 months"Hell, I'd go on a 3-month fast for that money.
>>75698674But the limit of less does approach nothing.
>>75698678*while running 4miles a day
>>75698678>>75698568Nah there's something else going on there. Fucking some celeb gets offered a role as an overweight vet trying to overcome their struggles with not eating animals that are brought to their surgery and then their next role lined up is man who's been stuck on desert island and looks severely anorexic with filming dates 3 months apart and they manage to somehow swing it. There's some bulshit afoot.
>>75698692>trying to overcome their struggles with not eating animals that are brought to their surgeryKino
>>75698594Is there any actual such thing as starvation mode? I never heard of it before like 2020 and then suddenly everyone is like "DON'T DIET TOO HARD YOU'LL GO INTO STARVATION MODE AND YOUR BODY WILL EAT YOUR OWN BONES TO LIVE". Is this just retards going on crash diet but they eat 500 calories of biscuits and not protein?
daily report just ate 500 calories of biscuits and will eat nothing else
>day 1; 117 kgs>day 2: 113.5 kgs>day 3: 116 kgs>dat 4: 113.5 kgsIs this normal? I thought my weight scale is broken at first
>>75698561Cocaine
Still on my 1500 calorie max and I got a headache and feeling pretty tired at work today. New low in my weight and my fast is still 8 hours from being over so I’m excited to see how low I get when I do my weigh in at my normal time. But I’m feeling kinda shitty today and have a lot of labor ahead of me. Does a little salt in my water help with this?
>>75697580I took 3 months off loss.. just proud that no rebound happened...
>>75698738unless you are broken, your scale is.
>>75698706It's people who have no discipline and want to excuse eating too much
>>75698561it's called [spoiler]fasting[/spoiler]>>75698738number would only go down if you fasted
>>75698750Just eat all your calories for breakfast and lunch so you can actually function at work, instead of eating them all after work at dinner.
So I upped my steps in 6 weeks from 10k, to 15k, to 20k, and now I do 25k every once awhile.Dunno if I should move onto 25k so fast, hurts my lower back a fair bit.What do you think?Age 35, 5'10, and 243 pounds.
>>75698766I’ll be good. Got some espresso coffee.
>>75697880Really can only eat more fiber, chia seeds, veggies, beans. shit like that
>>75697580I'm planning another drinking nights this weekend, and calculating out a whole meal just to enjoy the time with friends like this
>>75698768where do you find the time to be walking for four hours a day? If this was a job, you'd be doing it already.
>>75698741Unironically this, if you do enough coke you won't feel the hunger and have the power to kill god(or starve yourself to death either or)
wow fiber supplements are trash. i hardly get any from the recommended dosages.
>>75698768Injuries can and will destroy your progress. Consistent, moderate exercise is a much better choice IMO.
>>75698768what>>75698815said. back when i would constantly up shit, i pretty much killed my knees for an entire month making me unable to do any exercise. im just doing 20 mins on a stationary bike daily from now on
Fatty Contesthecatomb243.8lbs
>>75698160Just get running shoes I guess, what kind of exercise are you planning to do? You probably shouldn't push 30min unless it's walking in which case go crazy, because you can absolutely overdo it. You don't want to risk injury or just really burning yourself out. I do generally 30min strength sometimes 45min and 30 minutes of legitimate cardio
>>75697580My routine is in flux
>>75697580I went from 85 to 95kg November to now. Time to go down 10kg again.

if you care so much about fasting then go revive /fast/it died because everyone realized it was a meme

I'm tired and I'm starting to lose it. I want to be at my goal weight, but I keep eating at maintenance because I'm so tired and weak and stressed, and I'm getting more stressed because I'm becoming airheaded and forgetful and making mistakes that cost others time and effort of helping me fix my mistakes. I do t think I can get out of publicly eating tonight and I already ate a big breakfast just because I feel so dead. I'm cooked aren't I? I'm considering fasting just so i can shivel up and disappear. I just keep trying abd I just keep disappointing or irritating others. Lately it's just picrel, this IS my fucking best I'm actually running and lifting weights I'm so closebut I'm not at my goal. Is this my best? Probably.

Visiting my GF for a week soon, and I don't wanna obsessively diet or gain weight.She works so I can get my cardio in then, with my activity level my TDEE is around 3100 calories.I was thinking of just eating 2500 calories or less while there, sound fair?
>>75699145>my tdee is around 3100No it is not unless you are a hambeast. And even then eat less
>>75699155Typical day for me, sometimes I do more.
>>75697580I'm still eating less and losing weight but I've completely stopped exercising and going for walks.
>>75699145She works so don't fucking eat unless you're with her, and keep it portioned. Easy. She should be doing the same anyway right? Unless you like butterball hams that oink when you thrust idk

>>75699252i'm on day 10 of not eating, and there's still a desire to eat, to taste and feel full every once in a while when i see food, but it feels very different from just feeling like wanting to eat something.When i'm in the routine of eating trash food, I just almost automatically get up to do so. That's the cycle that's been broken, but it's not sustainable with just fasting.
>>75697927That's a good job anon. Even if some of it is water weight that still makes you slimmer and you will feel better for being able to carry that much less weight. Keep it up!

>>75699825Anyone working on a farm.
>>75697580>ConfessI went on a several day fast and had amazing results. Results that unlike the shills here would have you think, stuck even after I returned to normal eating.Anyway, I let the ozempic shills and literal bots here convince me to go on a "much healthier" natural diet. And while I did learn a lot about healthy eating, the results have been lackluster to say the least.After a week of eating toddler size meals and painstakingly tracking calories like a faggot, my weight has essentially stayed the same. I did a few more weigh ins and found that I had in fact gained weight on one of them. What an absolute joke. Imagine a diet with such shitty results that a tiny bit of water bloat can hide an entire weeks worth of effort. That's what normal dieting is. Guess what I'm saying is I plan to get back on the fast train and actually lose weight, and if your reading this you should to. Don't @ me crab boys.

>>75699904You're really going to say this when there are daily "Is CaRdIo KiLlInG mY gAiNs" threads? Like I said I'm sure a few in here do get real daily exercise. Do most? No. Should most men weigh over 200lbs? No. Do most men come close to having that much lean mass? No.

>bought a scale, started weighing myself aug 7th 2024>107.0kg start>fast forward to today jan 10 2025>86.8kg current>bout 20kg down in 156 dayswagmi fellas, i want to go back to the gym but i feel like i'll get discouraged if i stop seeing scale go down even if i know i'm building muscle. i guess i want to do a hard reset and start from scratch.any anons got recommendations for dealing with stretch marks? i accept that this is my penance for ever letting myself get that fat in the first place, but damn it'd be nice to one day go to the beach without a shirt, i haven't swam in the ocean since i was a kid (ironic, considering i turned into a whale after highschool)

I have definitely slowed down (I'm losing between 2 to 3 pounds per week) but some changes were unexpected. My ashy rough skin softened and feels healthy again, and my breathing problems in cold weather have disappeared. Also, while I would have to calculate everything to be at a calorie deficit in the beginning, now I can easily tell around how many calories I've eaten, which is nice. What weight should I aim for? I have a wide frame and am taller than average.Also, should I start buying clothes again, or wait? Right now I only have a pair of jeans from high school that are my current size, the other pants have to be held up by a belt with several holes I made.
>>75700371>I have a wide frame
Broski I need some help, let's say I reset at my middle age (35), I lost all my muscles, got chubby and cardio is 0.Getting diet under control is #1 and requires most willpower so working on that but thinking about other things.I like going to gym, but while on cut doing strength training is a pain, it's so slow and plateuing a lot, that's why I thought I should start (cardio) boxing again, it's very cardio stressful but there is some good boxing in there and strength work but I don't think I can survive doing both at the same time, especially in the beginning.My long term goals are are becoming unfat to get my lifts again to some decent numbers, nothing mad, and focus on hypertrophy from there on while on the side also do some sport for fun (kickboxing, MMA, BJJ).What's the best approach here and order of things you think?
>>75700394High protein diet at a calorie deficit, 3x fullbody weight lifting, incline walking. Literally the same as every other person who's ever been overweight. Mma and BJJ are gay asf btw
>>75700371410 was also my starting weight but at 5'9, 243 nowMy skin has gotten so much worse lol, constantly severely dry when that was never an issue before (I've read it can be from the sudden major drop of fat in the diet), plus medication-resistant fungal rashes only getting better now that it's colder out. I've had a lot of minor negative side effects but I'll take em all over staying where I was at Yes get new clothes now, I didn't have people mentioning my weight loss until I got clothes that fit at around 100 lbs down, it makes a big difference visually and makes you feel better. Doesn't have to be a whole new wardrobe just a few outfits for now
>>75700394Cardio-heavy exercise without lifting will reduce muscle mass more, plateauing lifts while in a steep deficit sucks but it's necessary to maintain what you have
>>75700336You will regret not starting to lift earlier, everyone does
>>75700387I've even been told this by a doctor after I got a physical a few months ago. Sounds cliche, but it's true. >>75700407Good job anon. I think the hardest part is always that part of your brain that tells you to skip a day. I'll get the clothes then. It's cold where I'm from and I don't have a single jacket that fits me right.

Is peanut butter good or bad for losing weight?
>>75700529Bad, it's extremely dense in calories Good stuff though
Update from last night. I did not have that snack, and I am about 30 minutes away from completing the day’s fast. A new low record in my weight (in 4 years) has been achieved at 174.9 lbs.
>>75700483>told this by a doctorKek
>>75700532Anything to add to oatmeal smoothie? So far I'm thinking banana, water and cinnamon. I would add whey but it upsets stomach.
How do you lose wight without exercising? Why are some people are just naturally lean?
>>75700336Lift dude, if scale isn't going down just look at yourself in the mirror. I despaired when the weight loss slowed but noticed I had actual delts and the start of a bicep peak (still with a layer of blubber on top) shit I learned I can pec bounce with is kind of amusing for a 250lb fat nigga.
>>75700585They have weak guts. They'll have a bowl of cereal for breakfast and be full until 2pm. Don't let them tell you they have fast metabolisms
>>75700585Exercise has much less of a caloric impact than diet, you technically don't need to exercise at all it's just healthier and can give you a slight boost to loss rateTakes a lot of time to burn 200 calories, takes 15 seconds to swallow 200 calories "Naturally lean" people have well-regulated hunger hormones and internal responses to naturally increase activity when more energy is put into the system, fat people have all that shit completely out of wack. This is not to say it's inevitable for fatties to be fat, discipline is obviously a part of it, but tendencies to gain are a real thing
>>7570058525 fork put downs per day
I lose my appetite if I don't eat carbs and I don't like it.

>>75700625>haven’t even eaten 500 calories today>it’s barely lunchtime What an achievement..
>>75700634I know I'm fat you illiterate nigger. The only reason I got this fat is because my frame is big enough to conceal it when I wear a shirt. Thanks for the motivation faggot. I'm going to hop on roids and mog the fuck out of you.

>>75700674That is saying what I'm saying, big-boned is a fake excuse. It doesn't say whether above-average bone mass is a real thing or not (it is)
>>75700687
>>75700615Cool bro I'm happy for you!
>>75700685Yes, I got fat because I ate more to gain muscle then stopped lifting. I merely tolerated it because it was easy to conceal under my shirt. The catalyst for losing weight was my desire to wear slimmer clothing.
>>75700696I am happy, i don't lie about my weight.
Bro who spends all day every day doubting every single poster is wild
>>75700698>I got fat because I ate more to gain muscle then stopped liftingThis is some mega cope

>>75700704literally what happened but ok
>>75700705Well done
>>75700705didn't read. This thread is about me now.
>>75700708Sure thing kiddo
>>75700700Cool, how do you know I'm lying about mine? For all you know I'm actually completely snatched and I'm running a demoralization campaign when I pretend to gain it all back in a month and start writing bucketcrab posts.All you have to do is look at trendlines man. I gained like 5lbs over a couple weeks during Christmas because of carbs (the devil has a name and its Chex mix) and less activity since I was off work. I didn't go completely off the rails but I was more or less eating at maintenance calories for about a month. This last week I got back on my 1k calorie deficit and here we are.I shouldn't even argue with a crabposter but the bait is too juicy to ignore.
>>75700716I did not get fat on desserts or sugary drinks. I didn't even eat shit like french fries. I just ate a lot of cheeseburger-tier macro food.
>>75700718>Crab schizoYou larp as several people in the fatty contest don't you. True mental illness.
>>75700718You have put way too much stock into literal anonymous people’s opinions. Nobody, and I really mean nobody, cares at all about your journey on this website. Probably nobody cares in real life for that matter
>>75700718>because of carbsYou mis spelled calories>gained like 5lbs>eating at maintenance caloriesOkay.
>>75700725Sure you didn't buddy, keep telling yourself that.
>>75700731I'm telling you. I just looked up the macros for a double cheeseburger a McDonald's and 8 of them would be 200g protein and 3500 calories, roughly my maintenance. What a strange coincidence!
>>75700727The only people who tell the truth are the ones who post pictures as proof. Everyone else is just larping
>>75700734>I just looked up the macros for a double cheeseburger a McDonald's and 8 of them would be 200g protein and 3500 calories
>>75700725>macro foodlaughing_girls.png
>>75700734>I have a huge frame>Gets obese on 3500 caloriesKek
>>75700744I haven't lifted in years. I still look more muscular in a shirt than you.
>>75700727Yeah I know. Its too hard to resist sometimes.>>75700729I use CICO so I know what you're saying but lets be real - its extremely easy to eat 2000 calories of sugar and other simple carbs. Especially for Christmas where fucking everything is carbs with sugar - cookies, dinner rolls - endless snacking afterwards too.>gained 5lbs eating at maintenance caloriesCorrect. If you're actively losing weight then slam on the brakes and eat at maintenance you will notice a pretty dramatic spike in your weight that then sorta levels off. I was at 277, I went up to a max of 283, then for 3 weeks I was at about 280 +/- 2 pounds every day. I went back on my 1k deficit and lost 4lbs in 2 days (the woosh) but it slowed down after that.
This gen was so comfy for months when I came here in mayJust weird ass shit-stirrers now, not sure what they get out of this
>>75700757>Maintenance>Gain weightDude can't even keep his story straight
>>75700759There's a certain type of person who likes to sit in random threads and just stir shit. Every thread has em. Its a weird parasocial hobby.
>>75700759framelet manlets get hangry and lash out because they can only eat 1100calories a day or they start looking like oompa loompas
Im basically just eating dark chocolate in the morning and dinner in the afternoon with perhaps a snack inbetween.Total calories:around 1400-1600 per day. How fast would I lose weight if I keep this up?T. 6'1 male
>>75700768Age and weight needed too (mostly just current weight)
>>7570077332Around 80-82 kgs I guess. 75kg is the aim.
>>75700777You'll probably lose about 1lb a week at 1600 Cal a day at your height and weight.So call it 4 months to get to 75kg.
im getting some real cravings now, bros, how do you deal with thati want some kfc so fucking bad
>>75700786Ok not bad
>>75700752Post it then kek
>>75700759>Comfy>Because our delusions went unchallenged
>>75700789water
>>75700789What does your diet look like currently? I was having craving until I increased the amount of green vegetables I was eating. A balanced diet of high satiety foods and I don't get craving like I used to.Its hard to overeat Broccoli, Asparagus, and Spinach, go ahead and try to eat 500 calories of Broccoli and see if you still want to eat KFC after.
>>75700797>posting images on an imageboardlmao imagine doing thatI just remembered some bitch in college (before I got fat) told me "you're not as big as I thought you were" when I took my shirt off. I haven't forgiven women since that day.BIG BONEDIGBONED
>>75700831
>>75700829you're right, i should increase the greens, it's mostly rice, potatoes and some meat so it's easier to buy in bulk
>>75700829>try to eat 500 calories of Broccoli and see if you still want to eat KFC after.This stupid shit again. How about eating trying to eat 100 calories of shit and then see if you still want to eat 500 calories of broccoli? This advoce is not going to lead people to being able to be normal around others and socialize. You need to develop habits that allow you to succeed and not be a miserable chud. >>75700789Just work it into your diet. You need to learn to eat in moderation and be okay with being hungry from time to time. Haven't ate yet today but this is going to be my day after I pick up panda express for dinner.
>>75700854Its hard to recommend just one thing but get a variety of high satiety foods and that usually takes care of cravings.
>>75700882>You need to develop habits that allow you to succeed and not be a miserable chud. >Stuffs his face with Panda Expresslmao
>>75700882>You need to learn to eat in moderation and be okay with being hungryOr you could just eat stuff that doesn't leave you feeling hungry after you eat it.
>>75700905>>75700895Why aren't you currently eating shit? You want to lose the weight right? Get on itI am going to enjoy some delicious tasting fast food
>>75700918Truly NGMI
>>75700918I dunno man, I think broccoli tastes pretty good.
>>75700924post body
You will lose weight, or else
>>75700936>The power of CICO revealed
>>75700934If done properly, I really only like it drenched in fat so it comes out worse but panda express does sell broccoli. I don't trust them to cook it all the way as I have gotten undercooked broccoli enough to turn me off from ordering it most places.>>75700962Not looking like your body anon. What is the problem? Too afraid of what random nobodies think?
>>75700984You need more protein bruddah. You need to lift too
>>75700992My protein intake is good as I need about 115g for the lean bm weight I want. Lifting has been poor the past 2 months as I have not been able to most days thanks to travelling, holidays, birthdays, and other social obligations. I am a little bit leaner (I am wearing layers in that pic) than before the holidays but I am easing back into my lifting routine routine. I need to build on it and get into doing actual cardio more. I was unsure if I would have a date tonight but it looks like I am being ghosted so I am doing the panda express today.
>>75701075>My protein intake is goodIt's not. Especially in a deficit.Sorry bout the date, good job losing weight
>skin toning after weight lossIs there anything that can be done, it's nothing excessive enough to need surgeryDoes exercise actually affect itDoes it eventually tighten over time or it'll only go so far due to the stretched elasticity
>>75700622Holy sex dude what are you upset aboutOK sorry I collected myself, body dysmorphia happens. If you aren't comfortable with an actual picture drop your height weight waist and neck measurements. If you wanna lose fat then go for it it's your body.
>>75701128see https://weight-loss-side-effects.netlify.app/It will tighten up to some degree, but don't expect miracles. If you have a lot there isn't much you can really do besides surgery.

>get rejected by girl in social group>it goes super bad.>have barely eaten anything in a week due to it.>pretty much just doing cardio, walking or sleeping to cope.>get on scale>says I gained 2 pounds.So depression makes you gain weight? I swear it hasn't been garbage stress eat food.
>>75700286>How we doingtired as fuck. false alarm evacuation order at 4am. been awake since then. but i'm locked in and not eating dogshit, so things are looking up (we no longer worry about the forever alone part of the equation. my decisions or lack thereof brought me here, and it is what it is. i'll do better next life)>>75700394best place to start is the sticky. eat a caloric deficit (with adequate protein) and get your diet sorted. once you're in the groove, add some moderate weight training to get your noob gains back. stick with it, don't fuck up, re-assess in 6 months.
>>75701215Cortisol makes you retain water like crazy
>>75701215Maybe? Cortisol levels are often elevated in people with depression, and one of the many cool things high cortisol levels can induce is a slower metabolism, so your maintenance calorie intake becomes a bulk calorie intake.

oh and congrats to the winners of the most recent leg on the fatty contest. and to everyone really. some inspirational charts on there.
>>75701100>Sorry bout the date, good job losing weightThanks but I am not invested in this one so doesn't matter. Caught feelings over the summer though and broke my celibacy vow which kind of reset my feelings on trying for something serious. Don't really want deep relationships as I am fine by myself most of the time and the selection where I live (libtard college town) is shit.

Fatty ContestAbuGarcia232.4
>>75700394Yeah, most of us don't do sports for fun, so for us it's all diet+sleep+cardio+lifts.My non-sporty advice would be to pick a target weight that lands you somewhere in the healthy BMI range, and focus on that.You don't say how much weight you need to lose, but if you're okay losing one pound a week on average, a high protein 500 calorie daily deficit would be relatively easy on your willpower and shouldn't hinder your lifting too much.Once you reach your target weight, switch to maintenance, continue progressive overload and consider doing the fun sports thing again.
>>75700611If you are 6' 1" I would aim for 190 or so. But realistically you should aim for a body fat percentage probably between 12% and 15%. For comparison's sake when I was really fit in High school I was measured at 6% body fat, and I was 6'4" and 210 pounds. Weight scales cubicly with height so even though it it is a 4% difference in height the weight difference should be noticeably larger than that.
>>75700936I'm not the keto schizo but you look like a weird twink homosexual tom cruise who's trying to pass for 17
>>75701203Sorry
>>75700571Body types are real, retard. You ever see those tall, super skinny lanky guys? Think they could ever become football players or bodybuilders? The opposite is also true, there are people born with naturally broad shoulders who could never be a skinny twink. I'm not saying "be a fatass, it's okay." What I'm saying is that, like height, your body type determines what your ideal weight should be.
>>75701532What you should care about is body fat percentage. A guy with broad shoulders does not need to be fat.
5'10 and 242 poundsI do my 20k steps everday but I wanna start jogging.I do not wanna fuck up my knees, should I lose more weight before I jog?
>>75701562Yes. Get a gym membership and do the elliptical as a training start point if you really want cardio to be running, or a stationary bike
>>75701562Instead of burning an extra 500 calories through exercise, just don't eat those 500 calories in the first place. That's how I do it.
>>75701194maybe about an avg of 30min a day max2400 cals is the light exercise category for my height/weight btw. I don't exercise much.
>>75701578I only eat 1500 calories a day and I want to be at a 1500k deficit.Also going below 1500 calories makes getting 100g+ of protein hard.
