Someone beat me to it. I was playing around making a new OP. Maybe someone will use it in the future.
Just tried an exercise bike for the first time. Went 45 minutes.(7.84 miles) with about 62 watts in averageSays for my weight I lost roughly 400 kcals. Lots of fun. But legs are jelly>also walked 5 miles todayIs it really this easy bros?
>>76712281>also unable to gain weight when I bingewell before you figure out what's wrong, enjoy your cheat code while it lasts and go berserk on some stuffed crust pizzas
Who here KOKMAD?
so hungry...I'm down 1kg in two weeks, progress at last
>Cycle moderately intense for an hour (~15/mph)>According to online calculators I burned ~200 calories above my BMR>thats less than a glazed donut>for one hour of cycling
>>76712484if you're doing cardio for calories you're never going to make it, sorry anonjust be happy you did it for an hour and keep at it to go further
>>76712072stop weighing yourself everyday, you'll turn into a basket case. Resist the urge and just weigh your self every week instead
>>76712484you lose weight through your diet, any calories lost through exercise is just a bonus
>>76712072Weigh yourself twice a day or you'll backslide and put it all back on.
Going for a 10km walk before gym tonight. Not sure if excessive, but just feel like doing both today.
Still currently a fat fuck but I've dropped 50 lbs this year so far. 383 - ~330. WAGMI
>>76712539Solid effort.
>>76712524Remember to take it easy, slower you walk more calories are burnt. Don't wear yourself out before the gym.
>>76712484Cycling is still very good for you
>>76712549I ended up hurting my back from cycling and now I just have a little twinge of constant back pain like 2 years later.
>>76712578Wimp
>>76712578you need to rehab your back, it won't fix itself
>>76712545Decided to just go to gym and do eliptical for 20mins before my workout instead. It will save me a bit of time and shouldnt wear me out too much. Wont be a super hard workout anyway, just getting back into after an elbow injury.
>Sober October, Day 10today i ate:1 cup of greek yogurt1 chick-fil-a chicken sandwich5 chick-fil-a chicken nuggets1 chicken burrito3 tsp hot sauce4 cups of black coffee3 cups of sage mint teavitamins/psyllium1300kcal. fun slop day but kept a ~1k deficit. i will do better tomorrow.
>>76712615Do you just eat normal fat greek yogurt?
>>76712613That's good too.Also cheat code check how much calories you burn at your weight and height for walking 10k steps, walking is the best. I burn 900 kcals right now at my fatty weight and height.

fasting today to try and get over this annoying plateau
Does lecithin help in losing weight? How many should I take?
>>76712618Is there an online calculator for this, I will check. I sometimes do miss having a wrist based activity tracker to learn about these things - ok, so I used the omni calculator site and it says 664cals for 10000steps, walking fast (6.4kmph). It usually takes me 90mins so that would be pretty close.
>>76712617no, i eat nonfat
>>76712621good job anon. keep it up
>>76712510Or don't weigh yourself at all. Just do visual checks in the mirror and check how your clothes fit.
>>76712649Good stuff bro.Right now because of fasting I'm losing over a pound a day with exercise.
>>76712649Also do your time for how long it takes to get the 10k steps, then it can tell you your speed. I walk about 2-2.5 mph ( I'm slow cuz fat and short)
>hardboil 3 eggs>crush them up and add some mustard>it has almost the exact same consistency and texture as chunky mashed potatoes>but it's keto friendly
>>76712655Might look into this. Having a cup of greek yogurt every 2nd day, but maybe ill buy a tub of no fat and try to have a serve every day.
I binged for a week straight. I am not going to make it. Ever.
How is one supposed to continue to feel motivated to lose weight and keep it off if they’re just going to end up dating a fat person
>Go to buffet on monday>go to gym and blast records away on tuesday>rest day>rest day plus nookie>rest day>tweak neck night before an extreme endurance/strength workout involving a duffel bag and miles of hills>resolved to go to the gym twice a day now for lots of cardio, 60 minutes each session to get some fat down while the neck and back recover
the worst part about extremely low calorie diets is that you can't sleep, and you just have to stay awake hungry the entire time until you pass out from exhaustion

Fatty Contestblindoptimism162.1lbs
Fatty Contestlooxmaxretard200678.6kgI am LITERALLY making it bros!!! Just need to lose like 8kg or so
>>76712437Not just feel, I am still fat. The fat hangs loose in my sagging skin so its easy to see, its really unpleasant to look at. But rather than dropping another 20lbs and trying to get lean I wanted to try maintenance for a few months. Supposedly the fat will redistribute and the skin will tighten up a little if I manage to maintain over the coming year. Ive only been maintaining for about a month now and I can already see how easy it is to start gaining it back. My first few weeks on maintenance saw me gain about 10lbs back before I had to make corrections. I'm still a fatty at heart, got that fatty brain that wants to turn everything and anything into a binge. Still logging everything I eat and reporting my weight to fatty contest, the ritual helps keep me honest.
>>76712694The fat keeps you satiated while the nonfat will make a fat lol

i am a huge fucking fat retard i hate my fucking self yesterday after months of dieting i ordered twice total mustve been around 4-5k calories and after than I slept like a bear in hybernation until now and i woke up having gained 2 kg I FUCKING HATE THIS MAN I AM ABOUT TO CRY fucking hell how do i even recover i will never go bellow 80 kg its over for mewhats the counter for this? fasting for 2 days?
>from 253 to 209my goal atm is to get down to 171...
>>76713166>HURR SHOULD I FASTlmao ngmi
>>76713170you are right abou that my friend but the human mind is always set to the path of least resisstance so eat 4-5k -> not eating for 2 days resets that instead of balancing out the deficit in a week. im just desperate atp.
>>76713166you should have discipline.. you can brute force discipline else you risk gaining all the weight again.
>>76713173Yeah like i said, ngmi.

doing 20-30k steps a day and keto omadso i’m 26, 5’8” (5’7”), and currently 236 lbs. I was 245 pounds last tuesday, and today i weighed in at 236, which feels fucking great, and in total i’m down from 262. i am in vyvanse and walk 20-30k steps everyday no matter what, waiting to get down to like 220-210 to start jogging cause my knees are fucked and i plan to eventually join a boxing gym with a weight room that does weekly/biweekly group classes. im doing omad, sometimes my meal dont surpass 1200 cals and im usually only eating chicken. it’s kinda crazy but i am mentally ill and i have so much energy now. am i doing it too hard or should i throw some 24-48hr fasts in there? when should i start lifting weights/what routine should i do, how many cals should i eat, should i wait until i lose weight? i just started a new job so ill be able to afford a gym membership now, i really do wanna start lifting and stuff because i dont wanna be skinny fat. any advice would help honestly
>>76713681Stay strong
>>76713593Eat 1500 cals. There is no need to do any more than that.

people who fast one day a week, do you just do 24 hours (eat dinner, don't eat until dinner the next day) or do you REALLY not eat for ~30+ hours (eat dinner, eat nothing the next day, eat breakfast the following day)
>>76714034why, is that really so hard to believe for you?
>>76714035it's not hard to believe, i'm legitimately asking because i'm considering fasting one day a week and want information
>>76714034>do you REALLY not eat for ~30+ hours (eat dinner, eat nothing the next day, eat breakfast the following day)Yes, you just skip a day of eating, that's literally it.Don't overthink it.
>>76714039what >>76714041 said, just don't eat anything. Will your body bitch at you unceasingly? Absolutely. Are you the ultimate decision maker for what goes into your body? Absolutely. Either let the cravings and unpleasant feelings pass through you, or scream and berate your inner bitch into submission. Either way just don't eat anything and you'll be just fine

>>76713862the hardest step is getting a scale.my net diary is pretty good. you just type the food name and weight and it has its calories on its own.
Fucked up my meal, I roasted some veggies and salted them liberally. But I forgot the shwarma chicken I was going to eat it with was super salty already. The two combined I feel like they are sucking me dry.
>>76714139I'm sure it does. you have the weight trend to match that statement?
>>76714284turn it into a soup
>>76714291Too late it's already becoming soup in my belly. I'll be alright I'm chugging water to balance it out. Also I'm struggling to get roasting veggies in the oven down. The tips always turn completely black while the rest stays mushy. Maybe it's just not possible to do better with frozen veggies. I'll have to try fresh some time and see how much a difference it makes.
>>76714296i usually pan fry frozen vegjust blast it with high heat until it starts smelling like it's browning, then stir occasionally until it's done
>>76714310Hmm is that safe to do in a teflon pan? It's all I've got right now.
>>76714316probably fine, no part of the pan should get too hot as long as long as there's enough veg
>>76714327Alright I'll give it a shot tomorrow, do you use any oil or butter or anything or just straight as is?
>>76714338just oil, butter would probably burn
>>76714345Guess I need to get some oil all I've got is butter.
I will eat maintenance, just this once...
>>76714359you're going to die fat and alone. don't succumb.
Can't you just eat what you want as long as you exercise it off
>>76714396of course. but people vastly overestimate how many calories their workouts actually burn and also massively underestimate how many calories their snacks, food and drinks have.

>>76714450Good shit man, keep up the good work.
>>76714450you should be lifting if you aren't already but good work
>>76714456Twice a week right now. Lifting around bodyweight on most movements 5x10 When I hit 160 and start to put on muscle I’ll be starting to lift heavier for 3x5 and go three or four times a week

>>76714450me before and my goal after.>First 2 months was carnivore ketono calorie counting?
>>76714505If you are fat don't push yourself, it's not going to make a significant difference in your weight loss but it will grind your knees and hips to powder and in 10-20 years you will regret it I promise you.
>>76714524Yeah it's my second attempt at it at this point. Lost more weight and am running incredibly slow. Plan is to complete it at a lower pace that it recommends and then try it again with a higher pace until I can match the recommended speed the app is giving me.
>>76712515Weigh 16x times a day is better
>>76714516I definitely calorie counted during carnivore keto. I tracked and measured everything and used Chronometer to track my macros on a per gram level.I haven’t eaten something I haven’t personally prepared and weighed in 6 months lol
Fat fucks
>>76712669Disgusting kys
>>76714542ill merk u cunt
>>76714537>Chronometer
Is averaging 1 pound a week too slow, or should I just keep course since it's working?
>>76714548The slower the better I normally see. Personally, I think it depends on your starting weight. If you're like 350lbs+ I'd personally go a bit more extreme with 3+ lbs a week, but that's just me.
>>76714547Sry is Cronometer it’s a macro tracking tool.
>>76714547he was looking at his wrist watch while pouring his ingredients. counting the seconds until stopping.>current year>measuring macros in grams>not measuring in secondsngmi anon
>>76712830saaaaar
>>76714548I went from 212 to 162 and I averaged around a pound and a half a week most weeks. Sometimes 1 sometimes 2 never more than 2 tho
>>76713166Oh no you ate 2 days worth of calories, you giant fucking retard/ Just continue your diet, nothing wrong with cheating as long as you can maintain long term consistency.
If you don't weigh yourself every hour you're really just flying blind and hoping for the best.

>>76714635facts, I'm day 16 of 2,000 calories a day and I'm losing my fucking mind
>>76714640why bother stepping off the scale? live on the scale. the scale is your home, your bed, your wife, your lover. know your weight every nanosecond of the day or find yourself slipping.
>>76714655People don't know this but air isn't completely weightless. If you breathe slower you gain less passive weight. Over a life time that adds up.
>>76714635why not the typical 1500?
>>76714505Yeah I'm up to 30 minutes running but that gets me 4,2km or so and once done I feel good. I can do 5km but I don't think it's good for me considering how fast it makes my heart beat, I doubt that's healthy to keep that way for 30 minutes. I'm just going to keep going for the 30 min and I'm sure eventually I'll get the 5km.

>>76714761Yes, your body magically optimizes the 2.5 billion years old metabolic pathways out of spite, this is correct.

>>76714847Yes

>>76714853>science is only real when it proves my point, not yoursI guess bodybuilders go on insanely low calorie high protein diets for no reason. if only they listened to you they would all get down to 8% bf eating sugar cookies and skim milk.
>>76714863>Imagine COPE
>>76714847Technically yes there is no such thing as a plateau in the sense that fat won't magically decide to just not go away if you are eating under your daily calorie usage. Plateaus aren't real weight because it's just water or other things that will naturally flush out over time.
>>76714871so when i'm at the park running and have to pee a lot it's my body flushing out that fat thru my glorious stream?
>>76714931Yes the body breaks down fat into sweat and urine.
fascinating
>>76713052The >fat makes you less hungryIs total bull. Fat just makes me more hungry. Now I just eat chicken and rice on refeeds.
>>76714744thats kinda slow, my weight loss was stagnant so i switched to 700 a day, no breakfast, im losing under/nearly a pound a day again
Weight loss is a scam, your body wants to grow.
>>76713166You gained about a half a pound max, the rest is water Weight/bloat from salt.Relax bro. It's nothing.
>>76714931Fat comes out your breath.
>>76714979my breath has smelled like acetone lately
>>76714996If you're fasting or in ketosis it should smell weird. Cuz the fat burn
>>76715007ahh gotcha, good to know. Guess this shit is working
Just ate, so glad the overwhelming existential anxiety is gone for a few hours
>Busy during the day.>As my mother to pick me up some food when she goes shopping.>Knows I'm on a diet.>Knows what I eat and that I basically just eat chicken and rice these days.>Buys a massive pizza and meal-for-two Mac and Cheese.Thanks...
>>76715039Take it as an opportunity to develop some discipline. You can't live off of chicken and rice forever. Split it up and make multiple meals out of it and it will be perfectly fine.
>>76715039>As my mother to pick me up some foodIt's your fault for not specifying what you want and just expecting her to read your mind, literally zero effort would have been required to avoid this problem.
I am 5'9".282 lbs -> 230 lbswas hitting the gym heavy, currently sick AF and plotting my next movemoved over 1 million pounds in septmy app calculates my 1RM (lbs) as:812.7 leg press617 calf raise107.1 dumbbell rowStill recovering from a shoulder injury so my chest and should presses are still shitCholesterol and other blood work is now under control. Off the heart meds and BP is okay, not greatResting pulse 85 -> 68 bpmI don't give a fuck about how I looks outside of being scary enough that the random fucks in my neighbourhood aren't trying to pick fights or size me up for a mugging. This changed from twice a week to once every two weeks.I am thinking of doing a bulk and gaining 10 pounds. Any reason not to before I go into my next fat loss cycle. DESU I am almost temped to quit now since the gains for further loss aren't really there, I feel healthy most days.
>>76715098>5'9>230lbs>healthyBro you need to stop lying to yourself. Don't be lazy and keep going you aren't there yet.
>>76715104What is lazy about wanted to set PRs for a couple of weeks?
>>76715109>I am thinking of doing a bulk and gaining 10 poundsYou are fat as fuck and thinking the right idea is to gain more weight? Do whatever you want it's your body but I think you are making a mistake.
>>76715113>but I think you are making a mistakebased on what? Having more muscle mass is going to help with losing more weight. I am asking if you have something better than "you fat". I think my lifts are slowing down and I think recomp isn't working anymore. Is the idea you just drop down to min bf% before trying to lift? If so that is fucking idiotic considering how long this shit takes at 2lbs a week.

Fatty ContestDemoralized110.0kg1 step forward, 2 steps back. Cut back on chocolate and sweets this week, but looks like I overdid it with the rice dishes. Lesson learnt.
Added spinach and kimchi to my weekly meals this week, trying to improve gut health/digestion. Also bought some golden flax for breakfast smoothies for them golden shits.
>>76714480I tried this a few years back and got stuck repeating week 1. Perhaps will try again after my ankle heals.
>>76714668I weigh less after a good morning fart, so I guess you're onto something
>>76714960I hope this is the case, bought a 1kg tub of no fat yesterday. I started eating a lot more fat because I read that it would help me to shit, but I think I suffer from slow motility constipation and fat was just making it worse. I need food that digests and exits quickly. I think things started to get worse for me when I stopped drinking coco-cola, hopefully I can eventually shit normally again without it some day.
>>76715127it's not "bulk or cut"fucking hate this boardyou can still gain loads of muscle while in a deficit and losing weight.bulking and cutting is only for bodybuilders that have already spent years liftingif you "bulk" right now you'll gain 2 pounds of muscle and 8 pounds of fat.
>>76715187If you have trouble giving up treats, try to get into healthier treats. cut up apple slices are nice, buy some grapes, have some mandarin oranges, maybe you can get into dried fruits. If you drink soda, buy a bunch of different teas, and try one you like. Hell, even have it with similar amounts of sugar at first if you are addicted to the sweet white, we're just trying to get you onto a different drink first, and then once you found a tea you like, we can reduce how much sugar you need in it. Eventually it will taste just fine with barely any, or even none. I know purists will tell you to just cut it all out, but if going cold turkey on everything unhealthy is too difficult, switching to healtier alternatives is better than failing and shoveling chocolate down your gullet.
Question: I've started cycling a few months ago to improve cardio, and while my cardio has improved loads, going up-hill still makes me want to die. How long will it take till shit like that becomes "effortless"?
I ENJOY THE HUNGERI ENJOY THE HUNGERI ENJOY THE HUNGER
>>76715256Keep at it bro, hills will eventually become your favorite thing to ride. The hill climb on my weekly ride is like a mini challenge to itself. I started just by picking out a tree to aim for, saying I will not stop pedalling until i make it to that tree. And every week i'd pick a different tree further and further up the hill.
>>76715271kek
1700 day became a 3500 daywhy must i do this to myself over and over again
>>76715483time is a flat circle
>>76715249me too bro. I'll take another 3 months off from 4chan and low key brag about the amount I lifted. Your a fucking moron who can't read all the lines in a message. Enjoy your mediocrity.
>budget getting smaller and smaller as I lose weight>73 kg now>still want to lose 0.5 kg a week>so budget is now 1300fuuuuuuuuck this is gonna suck donkey dick
>>76715501go OMAD and make a massive chicken/rice/bean/salad bowl to munch on throughout the day. 1300 calories will go a long way
>>76715339I've got some additional resistance because I bought an e-bike.>inb4 hurr durr exercise on an e-bike. The plan is daily workout rides with assistance off (except for where the hills are kicking my ass to the point that without it I would get off and push), and to also have a city friendly vehicle to do my errands with e-bike assistance, for a more relaxed non-workout getting around. Also for non E-bike anons: E-bikes aren't mopeds, they don't drive for you, they just multiply your input. so it's still you pedaling, but you get faster with less effort.
>>76715508thats a good idea I've already been only having a small breakfast and massive lunch to try and work it out, never done omad before so ill try and get started soon
>>76715528if you're on a budget usually ground chicken or ground turkey goes for pretty cheap at the grocery store. With the size of it you can really load up on the greens/rice/beans too. If you can squeeze in some shredded cheese to get it all gooey and douse it in spices/hot sauce you got a massive, filling meal that will easily keep you going throughout the day. I like to start eating mine around 10am-Noon and munch on it throughout the day
Last year I was up to 330, in May I started walking about 20k steps a day, was down to 250 by the end of the year on 1500 cals a day. Got depressed again and started binge eating junk food while bed rotting, got up to 303 as of last Sunday. I decided on Saturday to meal prep for 1600 cals, 181g of protein a day.Already down 5 lbs since Sunday, hoping to be down to 182/10% body fat by middle of next year. Working bike rides, weight training and walking back in. Everything tracked with my Garmin watch, Cronometer, Renpho Bluetooth scale. All food is weighed out to portion for the meal prep.Hate myself for falling off the wagon like that, but it's time to get myself back on track. I think I can get down to 10% body fat by August of next year.
has any of y'all picked up hobbies that encourage active life styles?? like tennis/golf, uhh rock climbing etc.
>>76715585Yeah, intentionally walking long distances every day. IMO one of the most underrated things you can do to improve your life. Use Alltrails to find parks and trails nearby. Bring your dog if you have one.
>>76715593I have a three day weekend and I was looking forward to taking long walks every day, but turns out it's going to be absolutely belting rain nonstop until work on Tuesday. God damn it. I really need to get a treadmill or something.

my stomach seems like it's really shrunk a lot. I just ate a chicken salad and I feel uncomfortably full. I used to crush large pizzas with multiple beers and still have room for dessert
Anyone else enjoy watching youtube cooking videos when on a cut? It is kind of therapeutic for me. Helps me out, especially at night
>went from 210 to 180 over the course of a couple of months by just cutting alcohol out of my routineHow do you guys manage to stuff your faces to get so fat without needing to use weed or something else to stimulate your stomach?

>>76716731went back to my parents yesterday and ate like shit so i expected it but seeing ten days of progress voided in one day on the scale hurts even if it's fake
The weekends are very sedentary for me and I always see a stagnation with the weight. I’m at the stage now where I feel like I can only drink coffee on the weekend. I’ve been on a low calorie diet for 2 months now and with everything going on in my life atm I don’t have an appetite so it should be easy to coffee fast for two days
>>76716132i do the same but full fasting equivalent with women.
>ate a slice of ice cream>well within my calories range>+0.15kg on the scale the next dayit's over
>>76716745>well within my calories rangeno. no it wasn't. stop lying to yourself, that's not how any of this works.
Walking once a week.Also, 20 crunches a day.
>>76716738You can't outrun your diet, but you can outwalk it.>>76716836You should be doing 1 crunch a year and 20 km walk a day, fatty.
>>76716848>20 km walk a day>6km/h>3 hour 20 minutes walking a day
>>76716885You probably walk half of that from your bedroom and to the fridge so it shouldn't be difficult to do the other half outside.
>>76716885yeah just aim for 10,000 steps a day, much more manageable. I have a job where I'm on my feet for hours and I still usually have to take an extra 30-60 minutes at the end of the day just for walking.
>>76716806bruh, i ate 1000 calories + the slice.
Fatty ContestSuomixar509.2 lbsGot back from vacation and weighed myself and wasn't surprised since this happened last time.

>>76717071Peak fatty
I'm gonna eat 2000 kcal from now on. Maybe more.
>>76717411but that's at TDEE. how will you lose weight?
>348 calories >no candy or ice creamif the scale doesn't go down tomorrow i'm going to riot.
>>76717418Maybe if you're a manlet/TDEElet.I've been doing 1800 for 6 weeks now and losing just shy of a kilogram per week. Not hamplanet either, """normal""" BMI.
>lose 30kg>still fat
if 1800 is a 1k deficit for you, and you're "normal" bmi, you're either very tall, have been lifting for years, or burn a lot of calories at work
>>76717475You are a midget
>>76717475If 1800 isn't a deficit, you're counting incorrectly.The part about not outrunning your diet is total bullshit. Roooners can eat up to 4.5k a day, some swimmers are pushing 9k a day.Arctic walkers are unironically going over 10k a day.Yea, kcal, every single day.
>>76717478Height doesn't matter, and in losing weight, it's only a benefit, bulking is easier, gaining muscle is easier, burning calories is trivial.
>>76717492>Height doesn't matterit matters as much as weight, are you drunk?
>>76717499Being small lets you get stronger faster, you can fix your life faster, sure, you won't slay pussy, but you got fat because you were a loser so shut up.
>>76717475I'm burning 2100 when I'm completely sedentary
>>76717506This is some OMEGA manlet cope
>>76717513No, this is omega mockery. If you're short and fat, you should kys, you can become fit in less than a year, you don't even need to lose fat, start lifting heavy, get strong, fat will melt from the muscle burn alone.Oh, yeah, also stop eating slop, you filthy pig.
Fatty ContestxXx_Dem0nL0rD_xXx194.4lb>>76714480I would take it slow with c25k because if you're fat you're putting more than normal strain on your joints and ankles.
