Literally just walk.
I'm fat and ugly and want to die
>SW (at end of September): 390>CW: 368.4>GW: 225think it's possible to get to 300 by the end of June next year? Barring any crazy plateaus or stalls I think I should be under 350 by end of January, and really plan to incorporate a gym routine. Right now I've just been trying to walk 2 miles a day and doing OMAD with keto
i hate fatties so much its unreal
I accomplished my new years resolution. Went from 238 to 178. My new goal is 160. > Intermittent fasting > A lot of repetitive meals > Hella weight training> Just walked, no other cardio> Shit ton of protein. > Treated my sleep apnea That's basically all I did and now have visible top abs, still all while before the whole 6 pack

>>76845292Most anons in this thread probably wish they qualified for skinnyfat.
im starting to second guess myself now. i desperately needed new clothes and blew a nunch of money on pants so i can have a little bit of dignity at least, but now im going ot lose wight and none of it will fit oh well
>>76845336Return them. Most clothes stores have pretty long return policies.
Ah, a little post-workout snack. Washed it down with 120g whey powder mixed in water. Sort of like makeshift milk and dessert combined.
>>76845284very nice
>>76845336invest in a belt?
>>76845339i just cant tell if i want to though, i did buy them for a reason, i genuinely needed them and had pretty much no pants left besides rapidly degrading sweat pants and one pair of normal pants that I ruined with a bleach stainthen again i also dont really like the style, the bottoms of the legs are just so damn baggy
>>76845344tasty
>>76845336just by second hand clothes until you reach your goal weight.
>>76845352Buy some cheap clothes from Costco and return them in 11 months.
Quite excited to eat tonight.

SW: 323.4lbs (146.69kg) - Oct 6thCW: 292lbs (132.45kg)31lbs loss in 44 days. Extended water fasting (72hr+) with OMAD refeedsNobody hates me more than I hate me
>>76845371I find one of the hardest things about fasting is getting to sleep, so I eat at night so I can sleep better.Having a kangaroo chopped cheese, with lean cheese and on a low carb wrap instead of a roll.Just a red meat and onion protein bomb.
>>76845372what are you eating for your OMADs? I've been doing basic 24hr OMAD and definitely feel like I could go longer
>>76845363im just completely burned out on cheap clothes right now. getting the cheapest stuff i could find was the first thing i tried and i wore them twice before they fell apart and i got a refundthis time i got two $80 pairs and a $40 pair from marks work warehouse but i only paid $125 with the black Friday salethe only reason they look baggy is that im a fatty so the ankles are huge to match the size of the waist/thighs. its probably for the best anyway because slim fit, which i used to prefer, would probably look ridiculous on me anyway since im such a fat ass >>76845357finding second hand clothes as a fatty has always been a nightmare in my experience
Only another 10kg and I can start shopping at normal people stores.
>>76845336I'm still wearing fatty clothes. i like how loose they are, its really comfy. just get a belt and enjoy
>>76845387You can return torn clothes to Costco
>>76845397I do actually have a new belt on my shopping list since my current one as shit on it from my old work and is unsightly I think whats going to happen is im going to keep the pants but im not going to buy a new belt any time soon that way if i lose weight i can at least have a belt that fits properly to keep the pants upbesides i think having new clothes will be good for my mindset and make me feel a little less greasy and "goblin mode" and encourage me to do better maybe
>>76845384Always breakfast only because it contains shit I love.Eggs, sausage, bacon. Then I'll eat high fiber vegetables and a fermented food (usually kefir in a smoothie) to rebuild my gut microbiome

>>76845502It predates Reddit, but it's a Reddit opinion.
Already wincing thinking about doing stairmaster right after leg day. Heavy day but big gains over last week. Been lifting for over two years and I only started on legs for three weeks now. Terrified of leg press didn't want to push more than body weight and was super paranoid about not locking my knees out Did 200 @ 4 sets of 5 and finished at 250 @ for 1 set of five. I do pause lifts for everything I can, or work them into 3 second lifts for 1 second on ascend/apex/decline.Excited for push day for tomorrow. Gonna try out new hand placement for dips and fuck around with Arnold presses on babby weights.
At what point do people start treating you like a human?
>>76845533depends, how fat are you? What color is your skin?
>>76845519Why are you doing stairmaster? If your legs are wobbly you could just do some other kind of cardio, rowing machine or stationary bike. Cardio is systematic, you don't need to worry about particular body parts.Leg press weights are impressive by the way.

>eat fiber>feel bloated but get perfect shits >don't eat fiber>stomach completely flat but get hemorrhoids decisions decisions...
My legs were trembling on the last set/reps, knee buckled (a bit) walking off for towels.I don't do any cardio for leg day but I like stairs cause it can be pretty high intensity without having to run. Including 1 min for warm up/cool down, I'm currently hovering around 675 steps for ten minutes. That's enough to have me pouring sweat even at the end, so I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't actually fucked around on a treadmill since I started. Bike might be worth a try though, for sure.

What's popcorn like for weight loss? Calories aren't that high, not very dense, you have the satisfaction of eating a large amount of food.
>>76845624very carb-heavy, so it won't fill you up for long, very low satiety. You're better off volume-eating some veggies like baby carrots and hummus/guac
>>76845624It's a good snack, just don't load it with butter
do you have anything that tastes good?
>>76845624I ate it a lot when I was a runner but wouldn’t now that I’m sedentary. It’s mostly air so not actually filling once it’s in the stomach.
>>76845624try this for movies, i'm about to watch inland empire
>>76845752What the fuck is thisIt looks like dryer lint and water
>>76845624very low calorie when air popped with no oil.i've heard of people flavoring it with protein powder too.

I've been under the impression that if you lose weight too fast it can be a factor in creating loose skin. Some people contest that, others say its true, so I erred on the side of caution, limiting my weight loss to a 4kg (about 9 lbs) a month. This is largely based on the general advice that losing 2 lbs a week is "safe".Is this really a thing? I talked with chatGPT and he's saying the total amount of weight loss is much more of a factor in whether or not you'll have loose skin. While I believe him he told me "Stopping your diet at 4 kg/month will not meaningfully prevent loose skin". Meaningfully means it still can at least a bit.What say you /fit/? Can the speed of your weight loss potentially be a contributing factor in causing loose skin?
i'm gonna pour myself a drink of milk
>anthropomorphizing chatgptKeep current trend idea, get hydrated, and change diet accordingly. Moisturizer and all that shit helps, shea and cocoa butter gets used a lot by women after pregnancy for this very reason.
>>76844952listening to stuff like this makes me feel like shit.knowing it's a hormonal/gut bacteria issue and some people don't have to track their food at all and (((science))) not solvong it because it will cut into their profits is so fucking demotivating.
>>76845776No shit it’s a stimulant. Enjoy your cardiovascular disease
>>76845781It makes no difference. Maybe it takes your skin 8 months to retract, whether you lose the weight in 8 months or 4 months (leaving 4 months of looseness).It goes away. That fat guy from my name is earl, it’s way less now despite no surgery. It retracts over time.
>>76845781yes/noyour skin will heal very slowly, if you lose 100 pounds at once you'll notice how bad your skins gotten, if you lose 50, wait a year, lose another 50 you won't really notice as much beause it had time to heal a little before you deflated all the wayits just chicken ribs, lose the weight and deal with looking weird for a few years
>>76845798Despite having gotten from fat to marathon shape before, like half a decade ago I straight up gave up and refused to kill myself trying to control it anymore. Like after a lifetime of bulimia I just refused to even try or pretend to not just be a fat fuck that eats way too much because something is wrong genetically.Then the GLP-1s came out and I decided to try it on the condition that I absolutely refused to make any intentional change to my diet, refused to restrict myself in any way. I went from “has a stool in the shower” fat to a BMI of 22 eating absolute trash, candy, takeout, whatever. Once enough of it came off I stopped being so demoralized and sort of put a minimum of effort into “eating healthy”, but never ever restricting the amount I eat. I just refuse. It’s because of the PFAS in the groundwater or it’s because my genes are fucked. Someday it will be cured, in such a way that even GLP-1s aren’t needed, but I’m on them for life. If they stop working I’ll just become fat again. I’m done.

>>76846603Look, I know she's right. That's why it's so frustrating.
>>76846606Maybe stop the extremes then, make a lifestyle change, lose weight, live and enjoy life, gain lean mass?
when can I start eating what I want again
>>76846610I'm so ludicrously fat though, it feels like the extremes are called for.
>>76846612Today. Just make sure you move more than you consume. >>76845344

>june 133kg at 1,85m>today 99,7kgfeels good. i even got compliments from women!wagmi
>>76846613Extreme is the opposite of control, the enemy of discipline. Black and white is easy, grey's the challenge. Destroying your metabolism and hormones with extremes just makes you into a volatile powder keg. If that is your goal, keep on.

>>76845242Holy shit bros... Friendly reminder, do NOT underestimate how important sleep is.I'm >>76844697 >>76844716 and I felt like literal death yesterday. Like to the point I seriously considered throwing in the towel and just being happy with where I am.Well I FINALLY got a real, good nights sleep around 8 hours, and I kid you not, I feel like a new man. Like I could run a marathon. And I haven't eaten anything or drank something special, it's only the sleep that's different. I've been doing all kinds of chores today that have been piling up recently. My motivation is through the roof right now
>>76846698What was your starting weight? Or roughly how much have you lost? The only thing I have to go on is the muscularity of your legs, which clearly used to carry more weight.
>>76846696I just about managed to get to the point where I can kind of discern them if I press my finger in while pushing my stomach out. I've never seen my abs, I don't know what they look like, but I feel so close to knowing.They're not that big, I can tell, I'll need to be very lean before they'll be visible. I'm finishing the cut in a couple of weeks and I'll try to get the actual muscles to grow during the planned Christmas bulk. They're just so annoying to train.
>>76846592>>76846606>>76846613Congrats on having an AI gf who isn't sycophantic at all times I guess. One meal every 2 days though, that is a bit extreme, if you're going to be extreme like that you can just accurately log calories: Far more sustainable and very effective.
I hate people who are like 85kg who go on about how fat they are. Makes me want to kick their teeth in, but I can't because I can't get my leg that high because I know true fatness.
>>76846745stop the smallfat erasure
>>76846745Once you get to 85kg you will join them.
>>76846734Yeah, I can barely see mine and only when I flex super hard but I'm constantly just running my fingers along the tendons tracing them through the fat like a school girl.
>lost 30lb>went from "overweight" to "normal" BMI>look exactly the sameSo what? Just keep cutting and hope that something changes eventually? Like at what point does losing fat actually translate visually? My face is a little thinner than before but that's the only difference I can see (I can't see it other people tell me)
>>76846764Left is 207Right is 177
>>76846767>>76846764Maybe your legs were super fat.
>>76846764>>76846767I know what it is! In the before photo you have a pig head, in the after it's gone. You propably didn' notice it yourself, thus others noticed it!
>>76846745Was 85.5kg as of this morning, was 94kg 3 months ago.Still have undesirable fat deposits but I can count individual ribs when I stretch now. Can I still call myself fat still because of that extra 500g? I'm maybe 5'9 - 5'10 or so.
>>768467245'7 so being a massive fucker was even worse because I dont even have the excuse of being tall>>76846731started at roughly 106kg, might have been heavier since I was avoiding scales like the plague. entered the fatty contest at about 102kg though. so about 14kg down so far total. Hoping I can figure out how to keep my calves as I keep cutting and working out. Its probably the one thing I had going for me as a fatass
>>76846783Holy...

>>76846764>>76846767Cool ducks
>>76845999I've been going about 2.5lbs a week on average over the past 2 months. YMMV though, that comes out to about .7%ish of my body weight
>>76846745It's the ugliness of your soul. They're fat too, you're just extremely fat. NGMI
>>76846078I'm in a similar boat, I've never had mayo in my life because I'm terrified that I'd love it. I'd probably be 800 pounds in that case
>>76846127happy for you fren
>>76846292the best time to change your diet and lose weight was years ago. The second best time is now :)
>>76846342going from 400 to 365 doesn't actually show that much unfortunately. Once you get under 300 it'll be more obvious
>>76846826I went from 230 to 195
>>76846422I did the same yesterday, couldn't wait until Friday to check so I cracked and stepped on the scale. Everything is going according to plan
>>76846592smart move making your AI gf have actual standards and not just glaze everything you do as being amazing
>>76846612Never until you hit your goal weight, then only on special occasions, in heavy moderation. It's the price we pay for eating whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted for so long without caring about the consequences

>>76846745the funny thing is they actually ARE fat, and would've been considered as much up throughout all of human history until 50-60 years ago

>>76846840239 lbs was considered comically obese in the 90s on the SimpsonsIt's absurd how fat this country has become
>>76846811nice work, but don't tie all of your self-worth to your weight loss. Whenever a plateau/stall happens (and they WILL happen btw), you'll get super depressed and be more likely to quit. Ask me how I know...
>>76846827same thing
>>76846846How you know?
>>76846848So in another 30 lbs when I'm at a healthy weight I'll be noticeably thinner?Why not right now?
>>76846799Calf raises.Congrats on losing 14kg, it's almost as if WAGMI or something.
>>76846852>>76846846>>76846811Not the guy, but you see a lot of anecdotes to that effect just in these threads, it's a common thing.Consider going into a cut/bulk cycle, it maintains novelty and a reason to be disciplined, not to mention the benefits of extra muscle mass. Occasional "diet breaks", even just eating at maintenance rather than surplus, can be beneficial if you don't overdo it.Don't put your self-worth into it though.

is one cheat day a week going to fuck up my weight loss? i'm not talking like pigging out and eating twice my tdee just eating idk like 3k maybe when tdee is 2.1k some shit like that
>is deliberately overeating going to affect my weight loss
>>76847086Not if your deficit is big enough to make up for it otherwise. Also, if you exercise and move around more in general you have more leeway with how much you can eat. But your body also gets more energy efficient as you lose weight.
>>76847086best piece of advice I've seen is to do a rolling "8 weeks on, 2 weeks off" approach. So 8 weeks being super diligent about your diet and eating at a deficit, and then 2 weeks eating closer to or at maintenance (100-200 calories off at most). It helps your body reset and get out of any "starvation mode" it might have erroneously put itself in due to the consistent deficit.

Should I be eating a can of tuna or salmon every other day for omega-3s?
>>76847086think of it this wayany cheat days you might take will just further delay something that already takes months or years to accomplishit's better than not dieting at all, but if you can skip a cheat day or go without them at all definitely try
>>76846764I would rope if I lose 30 lbs and looked the same
>>76847195No, both of them are high in fat and mercury content. Try sardines. King Oscar has the best quality fish, but they're all in olive oil or tomato sauce. The hot sauce obliterates any trace of fishy aftertaste and even if the fish aren't as firm, they fall apart, I like to slurp up the sauce for the extra fish bits.Ty for reading my blog.

>>76845242>Matthew 15:1-2"Then came to Jesus the Roman Catholics, which were of the Vatican, saying, why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.">Mark 7:7-9"Jesus answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."

>>76847264You'll see your true maintenance only after a week or so. Drinking messes up your system. When your body is in hormonal balance & retains the water it needs the number will go up.
>>76847264hate to break it to you but the calories in calories out to lose or gain weight isn't an "exact science".as in the metabloism changes according to how much you eat and the body doesn't absorb every single calorie you eat among other esoteric shit.
>>76847397based smart anon
>>76845242I’ve been eating at a 500 calorie deficit with days in between at a full deficit or 1000+ for 2 weeks now and I still weigh within a pound or two of where I started. I’m 6ft 167. I also just started lifting weights and I feel stronger but the only visual difference I can see is in my arms slightly. My aria 2 scale says my bf% is around 19 but I look like shit, big gut, muffin top, jiggly quads. What am I doing wrong?
>>76847434you're telling me you've lost on average ~3 pounds a week every week for 18 months on a 1600-2000 calorie budget?I call bullshit
>>76847476Gotta build some muscle maturity fren. Keep lifting. 6ft 167 is smol.
>>76845484brother unless you're so fat that you literally can't fit on the machines then you're not too fat for the gym. you will 100% regret not starting earlier once you reach your goal weight. no one cares that you're fat. no one's judging you.
>>76847476since you've never lifted before, you're recomping your body so it's natural that you don't see a change on the scale.imo, you don't have to be in deficit. just maximize your protein intake and lift. 1.2g/lb of body weight.
>>76847379I had a lot in my stomach area, which I got surgery to remove 2 years ago, only cost $10,000, now it's mostly in my thighs but not really noticeable, although you can grab at it and squish it and tell it's there, but the amount of loose skin is fairly low, I was only 315 lbs for a year or so
>>76847490>no one's judging you.I am.
>>76846342sadly most of the weight loss really isn't that noticeable until you get close to your goal weight, then all of a sudden even a few lbs is a huge difference. it's well worth the wait though
>>76847546Once your body starts processing the fat in your love handles and face it becomes really noticable. But as long as there's visceral fat to burn through you'll keep looking the same.
I slept 12 hours last night and it wasn't enough.
>>76847558Lazy fuck
>>76847558maybe you're vitamin d deficienct
Slammed four scoops of protein powder, making it eight for the day, and two spoonfuls of metamucil. I have become the bloat lord.
>>76846764you're pretty much at the point now where a further 10-15 lb loss will result in a significant visual difference. If you do that and put on some muscle at the same time you'll see a pretty big transformation. I was in the same spot as you a few months ago, then suddenly a difference of 5 lbs looked wildly different than the first 30 lbs I lost. gl anon
>>76847537well that's fine, everyone judges themselves. important, actually, because if you didn't you wouldn't be pushing yourself to lose the weight. If you don't heed my advice and go to the gym anyways, at least do some starting strength / calisthenics so you hit the ground running once you start at the gym.
>>76847552yep that's the exact experience I had. just looked like a slightly smaller version of my fat self for the longest time. then once the majority of the visceral fat was gone and I started to lose fat in my face / chest / stomach things started to change drastically with every pound
>>76846857because right now your body fat percentage is still high. Let's say you have 140lbs of fat free mass. That means you had 90lbs of body fat at 230 lbs, which comes out to 39% body fat. losing 35 lbs means you have 55lbs of body fat left, (likely more because you can't lose 100% body fat and 0% muscle) which lands you at 28% body fat. You really don't start looking significantly different until you reach sub 20% body fat. So yeah another 30 lbs would make you look noticeably thinner because it would essentially cut the remaining amount of fat on your body in half.
>>76847086doing that would result in you losing about ~13 lbs less over the course of the year. If you're ok with that then it's no problem.
>>76847476Two whole weeks? Damn, you must have some really rare disease preventing progress.
ate my lunch. now i watch the clock until dinner.
>>76847454normal fluctutation
>>76847476you're probably not actually around 19% body fat if you have a gut and muffin top. if you're completely sedentary with no history of lifting you're likely closer to 25-30% body fat. if you're calculating your TDEE using the body fat input you could be drastically overestimating your maintenance calories. IMO I'd just eat 1600 calories a day and see what happens. just make sure you get plenty of protein (at least 100g)
>>76847526man im so scared. started at 280 and working towards 130 like you. i know ill need surgery but the mental damage thinking about this is insane. i just wanna be pretty :s
>>76847678Are you a dwarf? Why not try 90lb?
>>76847695im like 5”3
I just adjusted my calorie intake because I was cutting too hard. I went from 1500 to 1750 calorie a day. I put them all on my lunch which I just had (70% carbs, 30% fats added from my 250 extra calories) and I feel quite a bit more energetic than I do normally after lunch. I don't know if I should attribute it to extra calories or extra carbs, it's probably both.
>>76847486YeahIt was 4-5 lbs a week at first and slowed down Power of a massive TDEE + walking with 200 extra lbs on you
>>76847712are you a woman?
>>76847727that depends on how progressive you are…
>>76847486I've lost an average of 2.5lbs the past 8 weeks or so with a similar calorie budget. Averaging about 1700-1800 a day, which is more than a 1k calorie deficit for me, plus walking every day
Today is the last day of my PSMF that lasted for a bit more than 6 weeks. I'm gonna weigh myself tomorrow, but I think I lost around 7kg. You can absolutely get used to it, but I think I'm kinda depleted, my old injuries kinda flare up for no reason and so on, so I guess I did what I planned and should make the final stretch with milder methods.
>>76847712Five inches and three quarts? Damn, man...
>>76847751yeah its fucking OVER

>>76847919Im starting to realise how much extra cals I am really consuming. Did a bit of a reset where I just ate turkey meatballs twice a day and the weight started to peel off. Ill recalibrate from here on going forward.
>>76847742>my old injuries kinda flare up for no reasonTruth. Ive started noticing my dry wrinkly hands, cold feet, sore lower back, all things that I thought I had sorted out. I wont be cutting for 12mths straight again, Ive learnt that diet breaks if thats what you want to call them are needed for more than just your sanity.
>>76847678>i know ill need surgeryfrom 280? probably not.. maybe if you were 280 for years and years
>tfw brain so foggy todayFuck
>>76846078I don't know how people can drink soda constantly. It honestly baffles me.
>>76847946theres no way i dont. like i said im 5 3 so thats extremely large at my height. idk how long ive been gaining but i was probably around 150 to 160 in 2019, hit 280 last year. havent really been tracking the scale which is part of the reason it got so bad in the first place. im down almost 40 lbs so far and i can see some wrinkles on my thighs if i pinch them or move them together
>>76847987Are you some sort of Asian? 5'3" is kind of a rough height for a man.
>>76847966I don't think the occasional pop is even that bad but anything in excessive is terrible.
>>76847998im very white. im a tranny though so idm being short. but either way my body is ruined so who cares really
>>76847998There's absolutely nothing wrong with being his height.t. 5'5" hapa
>>76847913i am impressed that anyone could keep weighing themselves as their weight goes up like that. I would for sure quit weighing myself when things went off the rails
short doods are cute
>>76848013I stopped weighin because scale started to creep up. After months of consistanly going down 2-3lbs a week, scale going up really fucked me mentally. Had to take a break, then took forever to get started and in a flow again. Only just now brave enough to start weighing again, even though scale being stubbon, its no longer going up, I can deal with this for now.
In one month I have: Gained 10lbs, lost 10lbs, and gained back nearly 10lbs..This weight gain/loss was 1000% correlated with my diet.You have 1000% control over your weight.
>>76848023When this happens I have my go to check to see if I'm getting fat. I lift my hand up to a light and see if I can see between my fingers like if there is a gap when I hold them flush.
How retarded is it to subtract a couple hundred cals from when i have big meals and my bowel problems flare up and i end up shitting it all out within like 30 minutes of finishing my meal? i feel like i certainly am not absorbing it all with how quick it leaves my vessel.
>>76848008Hot5'3 sounds like you started as a teen/kid so you look like you pass, right?
>>76848035maybe 30% retarded, you dont add extra cal when youre a little dehydrated and it takes more time for the food to pass through. just let it all even out.
>>76848009Bro start taking estradiol asapBeing a hapa and only 5'5 your destiny is either to go full Elliot Rodger or transmaxx
>>76846815Thanks, my kid got them for me as a surprise>>76846841Thanks anon, I appreciate that some progress was made somewhere>>76847232Like neck or cock?>>76847612Alright I'll keep pushing
>>76848054not hot im fat as shit lmao. but yeah ive been on hrt for almost a decade, started when i was 17.
If I was fat as a kid do I have to accept that I’ll be perpetually hungry the rest of my life? Something about the number of fat cells or something. I must add that I rarely ate like shit, had chicken and rice every day thanks to being too poor for fast food kek

>>76847666checked. you are right.>>76847454>ate >drank>took a decent shit>-0.25 pound
>>76848084nah, I was a chubby fella as a kid and as long as you consistently eat at a lower calorie number combined with more satiating food your stomach will shrink and adjust
>>76848058>Long torso, short legs>MEATY ASIAN CALVESBuilt for squats and lifting heavy actual. 170 leg press for four sets of five, finished at 200 for one more set of five. That's bodyweight+ for reps, leglet.
>>76848054oh but i forgot to say, my height is just because my parents are short. im about the same height as my dad lol. I have pretty bad bdd and will probably forever think i look like a gross man, but ive been told i just look like a chubby girl from some people so idk.
>>76848092>Long torso, short legs>MEATY ASIAN CALVESOkay ouch you can't transmaxx. Better dwarfmaxx.
>>76848094I think you probably can pass for a girl. It's only after like the age of 20 or so that men who take HRT will look like complete freaks.
>>76848099ive seen some pretty good looking late bloomers. anecdotally i pass in public the majority of the time, so im probably doing something right. dont wanna derail the thread tho so ill keep it at that
>>76848028there was a video about a dude gaining 10lbs in a day and losing them the next.of course it was water weight because he tons of carbs.>You have 1000% control over your weight.i will repeat my doompost.naturally thin people don't have to think about how much or what to eat to stay thin. this is the problem.
>>76848084go low carb or cut them all out abd the hunger should go away.i can't control myself around rice. i have absolutely no problem downing 700g of rice and ask for more.yesterday was the first time in weeks i've eaten rice and tried to eat only 220g. i was still HUNGRY when i finished and had another 220g to keep the HUNGER in check. fuck rice, fuck breads and fuck pastas.
>>76848031I know im getting fat again when I stop seing veins on top of my foot, its usually the first sign, then my armpits start to get fat, just things I notice.
>>76848087Maybe, but I likely can’t afford it anyway>>76848089Thank you anon, I’ll keep up the deficit then!>>76848116This might be it. Rice is 50% of my diet but I love to cope with “Japs eat rice all the time and they’re skinny!” I may need to do the work to change my diet
>>76848084>perpetually hungry the rest of my life>Something about the number of fat cells or something.What you're wanting to look into are your hormones.Leptin primarily, but peptide YY, GLP-1, and cholecystokinin are others. They all play a role in telling your brain that you are full.Depending on how much you care, you can get your Leptin levels measures in a blood test. This sounds like fat person cope but your hormones might actually be out of whack and would explain why you've always felt hungry.
Changes I've made that are making scales go down. >Making oats for breakfast and pairing with a coffee at 5:30am>Having what I would have for dinner at 10am morning tea>Grabbing a coffee for lunch. No afternoon cravings at all.>Having light dinner when get home at 6:30, couple of eggs, small chicken salad etc.Always changing, trying new things. I often like to just post here my thoughts because I have gotten so much good info from you guys that maybe one day ill be able to do the same for someone else.
>>76848151>Rice is 50% of my dietoh nonono, cut that shit out IMMEDIATELY. Lowering your carb intake drastically is the fastest way to reduce your hunger cravings. If you can manage it, I'd adopt a ketogenic diet for a month or two. In my case after 3-4 weeks I was experiencing maybe 15% of the hunger levels I was on a normal carb-heavy diet. Give it a shot
>>76848169>Ketolmao
>decide to run intermittently during my walk >a mother with her toddler spots me in the distance >quickly pulls the kid to herself as if a herd of wild animals are about to rush past themFucking kek
>>76848092Kg or lb?
>>76848185This happens to me essentially every time I run lol. FWIW I'm 6 ft, over 200 lbs, dressed in all black, and I always run in the evening, so it kinda makes sense. I don't think they mean harm, it's probably just the maternal instinct.
Where's that anon who I told to do chin-ups ever day and stop doing negatives? Did your chin-ups improve? Also where's the guy with all the candy? And where is the guy who met the chick on the bus?
>>76848202Lbs, pls no bully
>>76848153It's nit fat cope, it's the reality. Hormones aren't some random vitamins in your bloodstream, they're behind everything you do. Ever wonder why people turn aggressive on booze? Alcohol inhibits hormones. Body releases more and more to pass the barrier. Then your blood alcohol level starts lowering and BANG.
>>76848173It actually does work. I've knocked most of the carbs out of my diet, still fucking love rice, but I can get away with two meals a day + protein shake(s) in a six hour window without hunger pangs and that's on top of working out six days a week.
>>76848217I never bully. I tease, and at times I bull smol girls who want to get dominated by a bearded giant. 170 caught my eye, cause I single leg press 179 for reps. Kg.
>>76848207>stop doing negativeswhy is that?
>>76848229keto gets a bad rap on /fat/ because a few of the schizo regulars were memeing about it for months. In my experience it's worked quite well. Haven't had this much lack of hunger in my entire life up until now, switched to OMAD for the past couple of weeks and it's been zero issue
>>76848229>>76848257Grow up keto schizo
>>76848185I'd be ashamed of my wife if she didn't do this. It's a natural female reaction. I try to be cognizant about how I look to a random passerby and either walk on the other side of the street or very clearly go out of my way to not make it an issue
>>76848207>And where is the guy who met the chick on the bus?I'd like to know how that story is going too. She didn't look the most attractive but I bet they're quite looksmatched
>>76848236Cause he wasn't progressing, and he was already up to 4 or 5 per set. He was doing them to failure after his 3 sets of chins. No sense in fatiguing the muscles so much if you can already do one chin-up you should just do more chin ups and not negatives.
Got really really sick todayCouldnt finish my chicken breastsForgot to weigh myself in the morningAte a shit ton of chocolate and nuts because i couldnt be bothered to eat anything elseMy DOMs hurt extra hard due to weaknessI feel like a bitch for failing my diet today. Had probably 3000-3500~ of calories due to all the garbage food because that’s all i could stomach. But that made me feel even sicker. Hope i can recover tomorrow and get back on track8kgs left to reach my long term goal of 80kgs, down from 100.5 kgs. But today was awful so it will probably take me another week extra.Thanks for reading my cool fucking blogpost
>>76847592I'm generally not so sceptical of protein supplements and supplements in general, I rely on them quite a lot, but 8 scoops a day is quite a lot, should try to eat more meat or something.

>>76848343I assume she's fronting the extra 250?
>>76848151Rice as 50% of your diet? Stop that. It's about the most carb dense food out there.I basically stopped eating it when I started the cut.Carbs aren't really that bad, I don't believe in Keto unless you want to lose lots of water weight really quickly, but rice is very calorie dense. Potatoes are surprisingly light if you want a nice substitution.
>>76846767>>76846764How do you cope with not being built like picrel? I do have the same type of build as you and I am not able to cope with my bones not looking like lanklet.
>>76848351heh not a chance. I justify it by her doing all the laundry but when you start to think of it as this bitch making a grand a month to throw my clothes into a washing machine it doesn't seem like such a good deal

>>76848367not him but women love buying frozen meals for 4x as much money as home made ones
>>76848375But I don't like my frame. I want to look like old money prettyboy, not some braindead 70q kickboxer.
>>76848375do you realize 15% bf is pretty lean and close to being ripped? most guys who you'd define as completely normal are WELL above 20%, even nippard is aware of that
>>76848367Women bro. Just women shit. It doesn't even seem like it possibly add up to what it does but it do. Gotta have some fucking almond butter. We cant drink coffee without a gallon of creamer. Etc.
>Bored, scrolling through gallery on my phone>Look at pictures of myself from about a year ago>I'm far lighter now>I don't even remember being that fatI still have a week and a bit in the cut, I might take pictures then and put them here for you to make fun of, but not right now. Loss does seem to be slowing down somewhat though. Not quite sure why, maintenance definitely didn't decrease down (~700kcal deficit). For a week or so, a week back, I wasn't very diligent with the diet, would add in extra things without logging and stuff, but I've been more diligent since.The only other things I can think of is that for a while I wasn't taking creatine, until maybe a month ago, which could affect water weight, but that was a while ago. I also went onto some ADHD medication, but this isn't a listed side effect (if anything it should result in reduced appetite). Might be drinking less water maybe.Still, I got like 90% of what I was aiming for, it's progress.
>>76848389>NippardYeah I dont listen to anyone under 5'10"
>>76848377What do you mean limited? Like you can't eat most food? ARFID or something?The answer is chicken breast. 200g + 4 scoops can get you those kind of numbers. I fucking hate chicken breast but make myself eat it anyway.
I gained all my weight back over night some how. How can me month of dieting be foiled like this.
>>76848437How much weight was it?It's probably water weight unless you lost very little and ate very much.
>>768484514 pounds. I cannot stop drinking water.I am having some sort of kidney problem from being a huge fat nigga. I thought it would stop happening after I got on my deficit, cut my salt intake, and reduced my edema. But, it's still happening...
