Whats the story behind the op images
>>>77097859heeeeeelppp
>>77097864The nuns represent our self control and motivation to lose weight, the ducks represent our desire to eat and grow fat. Or something like that, the second fat loss general used this pic and its been an easy source of OP pics since the guy who draws them puts them out almost daily.
>>77097878The nun is eating donuts in the back
>>77097865Have you tried dieting the conventional way with just smaller portions throughout the day?I used to do IF and OMAD and more often than not found myself so hungry that I did a whole kitchen tour snacking on everything I could find while waiting for my dinner to warm up. Not to mention it sucked for the gym. I felt so weighed down and fatigued.Eating on a normal schedule with smaller more filling meals throughout the day has helped immensely.
>>77097881She's a NGMI
>>77097887>>77097865Really it just comes down to self control, OMAD can work, three meals a day can work, but nothing is going to work if you can't control yourself. There is no cheat code or hack that's going to magically let you stuff your face with everything you want. You have to learn to limit yourself.
About 3 years ago, I began losing weight for literally no reason. I was around 175 pounds at my heaviest and have been hovering between 145 and 150 for the last year and a half or so. Nearly all of the weight loss occurred within the first year. My diet didn't change at all and my activity level has only increased a little. The whole time, I have eaten considerably more than my TDEE. I'm a 5'8" (173cm) 21-year-old male. What the fuck happened?
>>77097881Yeah, but she's not fat. The whole point of the fat ducks is that you can feed them bread endlessly and they'll never stop eating it. The nun is a normal weight and she's eating a single doughnut.
>>77097911>she's eating a single doughnutShe's carrying an entire bowl. Will she really stop at just one?
>>77097908Could be hormones, could be some other change you made in life like a career path thing.
>>77097908You have cancer
>>77097915Explain what you think the word eating means. There's a single donut in her mouth.
>>77097916I figure it's probably something hormonal. I'm only a little less sedentary than I was before, because I've been walking a few miles every week. Maybe I should get checked out by an endocrinologist.>>77097917If so, it's growing slow as fuck. I haven't noticed any tumors yet.
Broke 85 hours of water fast today, I have lost 6kg since last month from 99 to 93kg, want to reach 80kg
>>77097926You know when you're regularly drinking water you're gonna add back all the weight you lost that wasn't from energy deficit right?
>>77097940Why can't you just be happy for the guy that he exercised his willpower and lost weight? Why do you have to try and dunk on him? Focus on you instead of tearing others down.
>>77097940It’s not like all that loss was from fasting and the weight difference is after eating and drinking a shitload of water.
>>77097948Unfortunately things do tend to come off more rude than intended on the internet. I'm not trying to tear him down, but I do think his strategy is less than advisable particularly in terms of sustainability. Also, I think your point of view on willpower doesn't reflect reality. Willpower actually isn't like a muscle where you exercise it and gain more max willpower. It's more like a resource gauge you're always managing. People who go on more extreme dieting strategies (and yeah, I think multi day water fasts are about as extreme as it gets, if he really meant he's not even drinking water) are statistically more likely to rebound and fail to keep the weight off. It's something to think about.
I've been doing a water surplus so when I inevitably fall back into my bad habit of only drinking 2 bottles of water a day I'm going to whoosh like 10 lbs
>>77097953Perhaps you didn't mean to come off as extremely rude, and if I interpreted it incorrectly, I apologize. However, the second part of your post was entirely a strawman. I didn't say any of that. All I said is he exercised his willpower. I didn't say it was like a muscle, or it was going to get stronger, or any of that stuff that you just pulled out of thin air. The fact that you already have this preconceived notion of what people believe is what leads me to believe that I didn't misinterpret you in the first place and that you're just going off instinct, shotgunning negative things to people because you're unhappy yourself.
>>77097948Shut the fuck up you hugboxing niggerfaggot, if he wanted positive reinforcements and all smiles and sunshine he should post his progress on reddit or somethingIf you go on the internet and post your progress about something you're doing it with the intention to get some sort of feedbackIf you do it on 4chan you already internalize the fact that someone's gonna say something retarded or mean
>>77097881>>77097915So, we have Dr.Pepper Zero, which tastes so fucking good, why do we not have Zero donuts? Granted it wont be zero caloires like sodas since it basically just turns it into flavored water, but a full sized glazed donut being only 30-50 caloires would be amazing. Yes this may be a stupid idea, I just want the reason why this hasnt been done, or if done how many caloires would be removed.
>>77098008Because if you dont eat calories you're eating some sort of indigestible garbage, your body doesn't like that stuff and it fucks you up(Lots of people also say that artificial sweeteners fuck up their digestion)
>>77097967I'm sorry you are so upset
>>77098014Keep apologizing and I'll forgive you faggot
>>77098020>>77098014
>>77098023Good job, keep going
>>77098011It doesnt mess me up, but I also never got an upset stomach eating at tacobell so maybe im built different.
>>77098040Yeah well there's all kinds of research into artificial fats/fat-calorie reductionsSome drugs that make you just not digest fatsThere's a plant fat called EPG that's just not digestible and its supposedly used in the David bar for very low calorie content while keeping the rich taste of fat
>>77097962There is no point in discussing a topic with someone who's already set in his ways. It's just a waste of time for both of you.
>>77098045When you say not digestible, im assuming the food still gets broken down into waste, just the body doesnt absorb anything from it? I might legit see Zero Donuts in my life time, hahaha.
>>77098056Well its actually an issue that it often comes out the way it came in people often report leaky anus because the oil is just going through their body like that and if they dont have a tight anus they can have their ass leak oil lolYour microbiome just ignores it basically
>>77098067Nah we need this, it will ID the women who are down for anal, and also ID gay men so they can be thrown in camps. I dont see how we are losing.
Was my last post formulated to be too long? It was about which one, SS vs. upper/lower split, is better for a fatass who wants to put between one to two days of gym sessions in his week to gain general strength (and lose weight) while training martial arts twice per week. The focus is on martial arts, as I'd like to go amateur someday.This was the original post I made >>77097525 but I think that was very long and that this post is sufficient info for you to make a judgement more or less.
No one cares name fag
>>77098087No, people realized you're a stupid schizo freak with nothing useful to say and are now ignoring you
Everybody should eat before they post so they can be normal and not be grouchy
>>77098089Are all the name fags bad? Not one of them is good?
>>77098099If you want a name on an anonymous site you are an attention whore. It is that simple.
>>77098098stfu crab
>>77098101Ehhh, perhaps. but none of use are anonymous in truth.
>>77098101The entire fat contest revolves around a name
I blame my low test for me being fat
Starting tirz at my doctor and got an appointment for TRT next week. Been hitting the gym.WAGMI
>>77098130>becoming a pharma pin-cushion and labrat for the rest of your short life>making it
>>77098087If you're in twice a week, do full body. Just choose one push, pull and legs exercise per sesh and do those, 3x10. Yes it's enough for a beginner. But you also posted you haven't been able to consistently go to the gym. Consistency is the most important thing. Someone who goes in and dicks around on whatever machines they think look fun is going to make 100% more progress than someone who doesn't go. Figure out consistency, then you can "optimize" your workout or whatever.
>>77098091>according to my arbitrary standard, refusal to read, and deep fried brain zoomer attention span, you're a schizo – PWNEDAw, man.Y'know what, an anon said QTDDTOT is usually up. No one's opened it. Might as well.
>>77098119Im an old school user, 08/09 and name fags should be looked down on, but In this case I can accept it assume they arent annyoing.
>>77098140life's too short to waste any more time on self imposed purity standards
>>77098127blame your fat for being low test, my free test tripled in a year when I went from 400lbs to 180lbs
>>77098162Yes exactly, life is too short to shorten it with drug interventions
>>77098141Yeah, this sounds pretty good.Would the following be good enough?Saturday: Benchpress, Barbell Row, Back Squat, (Bicep curls?)Sunday: OHP, pullups (variations), (Trap Bar) Deadlift, (Back extensions or something else?)There's a lot I wanna say. But the other guy called me a schizo and I've been writing and rewriting this over and over (meaning he's right), so, I'll just leave the routine here for any preliminary commentary.
>>77098211Sounds perfect. Now go out and do it and stop asking questions that will just make you overthink and delay action.
I'm going to buy a bigger pan so I can finally ditch rice and get all my calories from meat and veggies
When do you guys measure your weight, before or after meals?
>>77098348Before defIdeally you should do it first thing in the morning before you put any food or liquid in your body and after you empty yourself, minimal clothing
>>77098348>wake up>shit and piss>weigh self
Fatty ContestCaptRiker178.8lbs
Crossed below 230 lbs this morning. Down 20 lbs on the year so far. Long way to 200, but still having fun finding recipes and cooking for myself. Also, I really really underestimated how much money I would be saving
>>77098348why would you ever consistently weigh yourself after meals? in what universe is this a logical question?
>>77098371>>77098353>>77098356But don't you weight with food and water for most of the day? You only weigh without food for a few hours after waking up, which make it inaccurate and somewhat cheating
>>77098348I usually weigh myself after dinner on gym day for maximum water retention
>>77098410Food isn't a natural part of your body makeup.You want to weigh yourself when your body has the least amount of extra foreign factors weighing it down as possible, which is usually first thing after waking up and emptying yourself.
>>77098410are you retarded? I'm not trying to weigh the food in my stomach, I'm weighing myself
171.6 this morning, new PR, 6.6lb to goal weight

Whatever you do bros don't take GLPs. I can't eat, I feel revolted by the idea of food. Anything I do manage to force down comes back out in a series of explosive painful shits that lasts for hours. This is evil.
>>77098463that's the point of the GLP-1 retard that's how you lose weight, though it sounds like you might have too high a dosage
>>77098463Yeah you're overdosingGotta adjust the dosage, I'm lucky that I can run it on a beginner dose and feel a healthy appetite but get sated easily, with no digestive issues
>>77098453NOS Zero
For me it's Red Bull Zero Sugar
I upped my protein and all is well now, Felt pretty backed up for a few days, but now been pooping like a champion, actually twice a day and things are flowing again. Was averaging around 100g, but now been hitting 150g by adding chicken breast to my lunches and protein shake in the afternoon. Hopefully Ill see some change in my body in the coming months.

Does anyone else's body itch all over when they stick to their diet and lose weight? I never see anyone talk about it. I am already at 78kg though, and I don't remember this happening when I was 90kg, so maybe it happens when you're already skinnyfat
>>77098602Are you using pre workout?
>>77098604No
>>77097463Hell yeah I love sloppa Some easy instapot chili sloppa tonight
>>77098616Pic was forgotten
>>77098602I was having that for awhile. I kept having itchy patches show up on my chest, neck, between my shoulder blades, back on my hands, and my neck.Figured maybe it was jock itch or contracted some other kind of fungus at the gym since assholes will sometimes not wipe down their shit. No fungus creams were working.It might be something hormonal, or some sort of eczema, though I've never had outbreaks like this until I started dieting and working out.I also ran across a random post online talking about someone having similar outbreaks due to soaps and lotions bought on Amazon often being fakes made with unusual chemicals. Right now I'm itch free after changing to body washes bought in a store and not off Amazon so that might have been it.
>>77098619>and my neckMeant "and my legs" but autocorrect decided I should be redundant
>>77098619It's not really localized, the same spot doesn't keep itching after I scratch it. It also only happens if I have been at a caloric deficit for at least 2 days, very weird

Guys I need your advice and your thoughts and sorry for the long post in advance as its my first time here.Recently diagnosed with severe adhd and 3 months ago I started medication (Vyvanse).According to my psych my binge eating can be attributed to this and I have noticed since starting meds I am down almost 10kg however I struggle to even take my meds and during long periods when I dont take it I do notice I eat like a fat shit who cant control himself and gains alot of the weight back.I really want to lose weight but every time I do I always gain it all back plus some extra, last time I lost 20kg and dropped to 104kg but I gained it all back just being a pig.I dont hate how I look nor my lifestyle and how inactive I am but I feel like without any accountability I cant lose weight, Ive tried to make gym friends so that whenever they go I feel forced to go with them but 3 times now they have all quit the gym shortly after and I dont know what to do now, I hate how I am ok with being unhealthy I wish I had the drive and determination like most of the ppl who succeeded here but I just lack motivation, someone please help me cause I dont hate myself enough to want to be fitter and I do think thats a bad thing but I can never hate myself like that
>>77098823You shouldn't need to 'hate' yourself to make improvements. You should want to improve because it's a better quality of life. Sort your thinking out.
>>77098369very nice progress, keep it up. any good meals you made? tonight I made a stir fry with chicken, broccoli, onions, peppers, mushrooms, carrots, and salt/pepper/garlic powder on everything. was tasty, 600 calories, and I can make another 4 or so meals with the ingredients I have. and it only cost me like $30 for everything. $6 a meal isn't bad at all
>people keep commenting on my weight loss>still got just under 30kg to go
280g hake fillets fried with some pam spray, 100g beets- 310kcal- 53g protein- 7g carbs- 8g fatIt's no chicken, which is why I'm eating it cause I'm sick of chicken.
>>77097861>>77097878>>77097889>>77098687My power level is increasing I can see every rooster
>been depressed over multi week plateau>dreading weigh in day tomorrow>go to gym>doing shoulder exercises in mirror>noticing that I'm looking much slimmer>can see my arm muscles and my shoulders flaring up with each rep>noticing my moobs are disappearing a bit>mood improves a biti think wagmi bros
>>77098853use a tape measure, not just a scale
>>77098852Now guess all their weights.
>>77098823it's not about the accountability, that's an obvious excuse for not taking the initiative yourself. besides, it's not about motivation, it's a holistic lifestyle change. there's no motivation involved because motivation is transient and will eventually go away. you need to change your habitsyou're also not supposed to hate yourself, because emotions change often. self-hate is a one-way ticket to burnout. imo the proper thought process is a disdain for your bad habits and a want to change them to good habits to see good results
I started losing weight again after I stopped eating bananas at midnight. I literally can't eat anything before going to bed?Also, does fapping effect weight loss?
>>77098825I wonder if there is a way to make my non-medicated state of being to actually want that, I get that feeling whenever my vyvanse kicks in, I enjoy going out for walks and being active and I do things because I know its good for me however without being on my meds I am just content being inactive nor do I chase the better things in life.>>77098862I getchu, so far the only reason I enjoyed losing weight was each time I lost a chunk of KG's I feel like I looked better and that was it. would it be healthy if I just focus my disdain on bad habits just because I want to look more attractive?
>>77098886>would it be healthy if I just focus my disdain on bad habits just because I want to look more attractive?don't lean too far into the negative. I look in the mirror and I'm like "damn, I'm fat, I don't like that because I shouldn't be so fat" and that's mostly it. I want to look and feel better and those aren't bad reasons at all. it's best to focus on the good things that will come from your efforts and not beat yourself up too much

>>77098823You are falling into a trap which will steal years of your life and a lot of health from you, but I don't feel like explaining it right now, so good luck.

Is dropping 1 kg/month good? I had my annual checkup recently and my physician was surprised I lost 12 kg since last year and he asked if I was taking GLP-1.
>>77099398Any weight loss is good but that’s nothing crazy, a daily 1000 calorie deficit puts you at just under a kg lost per week. Not sure why your physician reacted like that

>>77097861How important is reaching or surpassing exactly 10k steps a day?After about an 70 minutes I can get to about 7k steps, and I can’t really put in more time than that at the moment.I’d rather not buy one of those walking pads, but if getting more steps in is important I guess I’ll have to
>>77099439You can lose weight without walking at all, so it depends on your goal.
Fatty ContestSpicyMcHaggis110.2kg
>>77099446I guess just getting the most benefits out of walking I canI’ve seen some anon’s talking like getting a daily 10k steps is an absolute necessityAlso, is it important to get steps in on days I workout? At the moment I go to the gym 3 days a week and I walk on the other 4 days
>>77099439>>7709945310k steps isn't really a magical number or anything but around this point it starts to make a difference. 7k steps is maybe 3-4k over the amount of steps you'd get anyway just walking to the toilet or the kitchen with absolutely sedentary lifestyle, it's basically nothing. And yes you should still be walking on the days you go to the gym if you're only lifting.
>>7709945310K per day is like 5 a day fruit. Good for general health, it also helps with recovery and is a low impact activity.I've been hitting around 6-7k per 1hr of walking, it has improved my general walking speed, endurance, and has had a noticeable effect on my running too. Walking pad, while not necessary - does give you more opportunity to get steps in while doing another task, and helps with not sitting at your desk for too long.I gym 4, Run 3 and Walk 1hr everyday. Weight is falling off me.I'd say your current schedule is fine, but if you feel you can do more, I'd find a way to make it work for you.

>plateau weekThis is bullshit. I want to stab somebody
starting weight: 118.1 kg 20/8current weight: 86.6 kg 20/2goal weight: 70 kgheight: 179 cmmethod: rolling 72s with water and coffee, starting on 18/1 i move on to rolling 48s.
>>77099666I had one of these that made me laugh. I was at 216lbs, fasted for 4 days straight and didn't overeat beforehand, and measured 216lbs again at the end of the fasting period despite an 8800 calorie deficit.Next week I had lost double the expected poundage though so it all works out in the end.
>decided to move the scale>gained 0.7kg wtf
>>77099729Start lifting with a proper diet or you will end up just skinny fat
>3 week plateau finally ended>2.5lb lostwe are so fucking back
>>77097861>Lent time, time to get serious about my diet/weight loss>Mother: "Anon, I'm making huge piles of your favourite food."Every. Single. Time!
>>77099733Same. Not only that, but where I stand on the scale changes my weight too. I usually don't cheat and just accept the heaviest weight.
>>77099833So you're doing lent and your family doesnt?Seems unlikely
>>77099833Did you talk to them about it or is that something that you decided for yourself?

Fatty Contesthandofgob158.8lbs2 months ago i would 100% not believe you if you told me i'd be jogging a mile a day. wagmi
>>77099901How did you do it? I could probably stand to get into jogging, I can't breathe for shit. Felt like I was going to pass out just lifting at the gym last night and kept having to take ridiculously long rests.
>>77099916learn to breath properly during exercise, focus on breathing
:)
>>77099916>how to get into joggingYou ease into it gradually, pic related is one way of doing it. Word of advice: for gigalardos (chunguses weighing 110kg or above) its better to start just by walking until you drop down to more manageable weight because jogging/running WILL murder your joints if you are fat enough. Walking will still give you plenty of cardiovascular gains and help you lose fat without risking permanently ruining your body
>>77099940>anime child chartIgnored
>>77099942
>>77098417Not the asker, but this sounds like a good idea. It'd be your true, regular, practical weight after a day of life. You've eaten, showered, gone through the day, worked out maybe. Before bed makes sense to me, I might try that. Also sounds easier to not add yet another thing to a morning routine.
>>77099940Thanks breh>120kg currentlyHahaYeah, moving and breathing is pretty tough. I'll table the jogging dream for now
>>77098453Recommend powder Celsius mixed with cold water. Cheaper and readily available when you want an energy drink
>>77099953>eat and drink a different amount week to week>weight wildly different every weigh in>good ideai don't get how people aren't understanding how they should be weighing themselves, it's like the simplest thing you could be doing to weigh yourself quickly in the morning when you're at your emptiest
>>77099916this >>77099918 unironically. learning to breathe was huge, i used to wheeze until i got too dizzy to keep on lmao. try breathing exercises at rest to get used to controlling it. meditation helped a lot in that regard.i also had to build up to a respectable pace. i tried to run at a "normal" speed at first and burnt out immediately. once i stuck to fatass pacing, i kept it up until i started developing stamina. i went from barely being able to jog for a minute straight to ten minutes, and now i'm starting to work on speed. the goal is a 10min mile, and so far i'm averaging 14min from my starting point of 21min.for actual jogging, i started with alternating between 1min of jogging and walking. it was hell at first, could barely make it a mile and i would need extra walking time, but i tried to push myself to jog for 1:15/1:30 in the middle.after a bit of that i gained some actual stamina and started following c25k after another anon recommended it to me.
>Scale has plateaued for almost a month>Been tracking calories closely though, not eating any junk, no liquid calories except protein shakes to hit macro goal>Coping that it's water weight from new exercising>Try on a belt that I couldn't even close around my waist a month or two ago>I can get to the first and about the second notch nowWe are all gonna make it
I recently discovered a sneaky calorie bomb I've had daily for at least a year. I already knew about my slight drinking problem/coping. Lost my job last year and spent six months interviewing, searching, questioning life. This coping with whiskey. Early last year, late 2024, I took up making homemade coffee creamer from my chef friend. - One 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk- Equal part half and half- Vanilla extract Super easy, cheaper than premade, no high fructose corn syrup, and still tastes great. PROBLEM THOUGH is that a single serving of two tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk alone is 130 calories. If I do the usual, liberal "splash" of creamer, it easily makes my routine two coffees a morning into a 300-400 calorie intake to right in the morning. I don't have a container to balance out the proportions, which is rather do than get "diet" creamer or cut it out entirely.
>>77098803Impressive that you’ve kept up with tracking this long. I missed two weigh-ins last weekend because I had some friends in town unexpectedly and spent a night in an Airbnb
>>77099975The very first rule almost anyone tells you about losing weight is "don't drink your calories."Obvious answer is delete it, srry.
>>77098837Been buying chicken thighs, frozen salmon, bacon, and eggs in bulk from Costco, and fresh vegetables from my local farmers markets (I live in Florida)Been using Grok to help me put recipes I like together with things I have on hand for my cast iron. My favorites have been a creamy Mediterranean chicken recipe loaded with bacon and veggies, chicken chili, fajitas, taco-stuffed peppers, Greek marinated chicken, blackened salmonAlmost totally whole foods with little snacking. I am looking to do some kind of stir fry or general Asian meal soon, just haven’t settled on what Im doing yet

Been a loose couple of weeks. Still been getting in my steps, hitting gym 2x a week, run on sunday, cycle on sundays but my snacking had been completely out of control. When i was fat it was easy just to stick to my calories and scale would go down, but then i get to within 20% of my goal and im full of energy and zest for activities that I eat to feel good to live. But goals sre goals, i will return.
>>77099647Feel this. Injuries suck, especially recurring ones. Staying injury free is my number 1 focus these days, stay strong bruv
new to /fat/ but how long can I hold a 1000kcal deficit for? according to losertown I will hit my goal weight in November but some friends at my gym told me I cant diet that hard for 9 months because its not good and I will gain all my weight back
>>77100547Depends how heavy you are right now. 300lbs, a 1000cal deficit will be no problem, gets harder the closer you get to 200lbs
>>77100547Depends on your will power.
>>77099930Good job :D
>>77100553This seems counterintuitive, that the lower your TDEE becomes, the more problematic a low calorie intake is?
I was 108.1kg and only 0.7kg away from my lowest adult weight.I really wanted to hit that lowest weight this week, instead it's gone back up to 109kg.Gonna be an almighty whoosh when it comes.Was thinking of doing a fasting day to put me back on track, but I've got food in the fridge that needs eating.
>>77098348First thing in the morning after I piss, every day.
I live in a near constant state of mental fog and drowsiness. Maybe 2 or 3 hours after I wake up it kicks in and doesn't go away until the late evening. Most of the best hours of the day are completely wasted and I can't enjoy or do much of anything. It gets worse when I diet and also when I eat. I'm so tired no matter how much I sleep...
>>77100697Do something in the morning right when you wake up like go on a walkGet checked for sleep apnea
>>77100697You have diabetes
>>77100698I have sleep apnea but I also use a cpap machine. I'm pretty sure it's working because I used to wake up ten times a night and have a raging sore throat before the cpap and now I don't anymore. >>77100699Probably, I've also started having cloudy urine a couple times a week. Oh well, I knew it was going to be my time sooner or later. It killed my grandpa and now it's my turn.
>>77097861Hey anons, I haven't lost a single pound in about a week. I am eating a lot more protein (about 50 g more a day) and I've been a lot more active after being almost 100% sedentary for 3 months (Am running 3 times a week and have gotten a decently physical job that gets me 8k steps a day. Could these be factors?
>>77100697stop any caffeine intakedrink more watermaybe take a day or two every week to load up on carbs if you're doing low carb

What's the best way to lose just body fat and keep muscle?
>>77100908just exercise and eat enough proteins. That's it.
>>77100595Your TDEE also goes down as you loose weight.
>>77100908What bro ( >>77100910 ) said. Do resistance training and eat protein, you'll keep your lean mass AND if you're a noob, you may get noob gains.
>>77100778No, no no no. I swear to CHRIST they only show me food recipes and shit when you m trying to lose weight. >Oh here's a high protein baked oats tiramisu recipe with whipped Greek yogurt...>"healthy" because muh protein>its 450cal per servingI love cooking... I love baking... I miss it. But if its good its doomed to be high calorie.
>>77100910>>77100915Should I do any form of cardio? For the record, I get 10k+ steps a day easily just from going about my day
>>77100728Don't sweat a week stall, as long as your keeping your calories in check don't sweat it. You may need to check your TDEE again, which you should do every 20-30lbs lost IMHO. Hell yeah for getting the activity in, I need to start running again I've just been depressed as shit.
>>77100927it depends on how filling those 450 calories areI've learned that some stuff will get rid of hunger for hours despite being very calorie dense
>>77100547Hmmm. Yes'nt. >yes you can go crazyIts YOUR will, you can do a suicide cut if you actually plan it out properly. That means keeping your diet planned TIGHT so you're hitting macros and still have some variety and options AND you have a good multivitamin that can actually fill in the gaps. You should also be taking very very good care of your skin, I'm talking good quality moisturizer and body scrubs and at least once a month when you've got time a good shower and scrub and moisture then using a serum for your skin.>no you'll get fucked upIf you develop serious deficiencies it'll hurt you a lot, if you're on this super cut how will you go back to normal eating? What happens if you skip out on nutrition and you skip out of skincare? What happens when you're 4mo in and go apeshit in a domino's? When the super cut makes you too tired to exercise? You've gotta really think it through and have an organized plan
>>77100986The point is you watch the food being made but you dont actually make it or eat it
>>77099957Tried convincing my wife of this but she insists that she wants the carbonation
>>77099930
>>77099870He may have converted from meme Christian to Catholic but his family didnt
>>77100986Probably filling, but 450 is steep as guck for me I'd have to sacrifice other food and have the willpower not to binge the rest
>>77101006No way a 7 ft dino only weighs 66 pounds
>>77100931Cardio is always good for you but as a fatty do low impact. Maybe like 30min 3x a week on an elliptical or a stationary bike, bit running will fuck up your joints. Don't start running until you get to just overweight not obese
>>77101015Its a newborn
One of my last updates.36 days of fasting. People are starting to comment on my lethargy, Oddly weight went up... Maybe shitty bathroom scale maybe water retention but it was 3 days between weigh ins so I am thinking scale is just shit.Feel good but low energy.
biked to the grocery store and luckily sirloins were on salepeople always want fatty steaks, but these lean cuts are GOAT for weight loss
>>77101062How many days did that previous anon make it before dying? I think he was in his high 40s or 50s? Maybe you can beat his record, leave a note for whoever finds you to let us know how far you made it.
>>771010701000 hours max. Actually plus a few because I won't be home till like 1010 hours but none the less I am capping it. More over I still will call it early I I feel shitty. This is my note. Fuck all y'all.

>>77097889Eating late at night indirectly(and directly) makes you gain weight. I learned recently that eating a late dinner makes me need to sleep 1-2 hours longer. If I don't, I'll feel like shit and want to be more active. If I'm not more active I start gaining weight.>>77097908>>77097924>The whole time, I have eaten considerably more than my TDEE.You unironically have diabetes. Buy a cheap ass glucometer, test your normal glucose levels and also a fasting glucose test.
>>77099006Yes, your body dumps cellular waste into your butt even if you don't eat anything for days and days.
>>77099006Fast guy. I posted a few night backs, I ain't anything in 5 weeks and I'm still shitting.
3 straight weeks of perfect dieting but I gave in today and ate 3100 calories
>>77101140> Today.But not tomorrow.
>>771010621 month is a lot timedo you have a plan for maintenance?
>>77101159With the food money I saved I have the years protein, also cutting booze will mostly keep me light. Generally just eat better but not so restrictive. The fast is partly religious as 40 days has also really cut my muscles too.
Started exercising after a *long* time on New Year's at 242, finally dipped below 230 today at 5'9". Should've taped today; should be close to 40" abdomen. Shame I haven't gotten chest to pass 45" yet, but it's early times yet.I could drop weight faster by going full cut, but I'd rather stick with recomp because I need the muscle too.
finally, day 3 of my three day total fast. did i make it? not exactly, as this is 2 hours shy of a 62 hour fast and i just had a nice meal. also, at about 7pm today i had a swallow of orange pineapple juice and a banana at 8pm. why did i come so close only to fail right at the end? well, it was intentional. i had to train someone at work to do something and i wanted to be able to think clearly and be in a good mood and that's why i drank the pineapple juice.traditionally, the fast ends at sundown, and by waiting until 7pm and slowly easing back into eating (refeeding) i think that i held to the spirit of the fast without being a 'rules lawyer' - which is what the church recommends. the most important guideline though is to not cause someone else to stray from their own ordeal by pretending that you are somehow holier than they are because you did everything 'correctly.' this is that sin of pride again. if someone decides to do a fast, but makes some exceptions, or "fails" somehow, then that's between them and god and you shouldn't make them feel bad about it. "keep your eyes on your own plate" they say. what did i have for my first meal of lent?>a small portion of chips and salsa, with beansi am completely stuffed. i think my stomach shrank a bit during those three days. weight on the scale when i started: 199lbs, weight on the scale this morning: 191lbs. wow. honestly though, that mostly water weight and muscles starved of glycogen. in all likelihood, the refeed will push me up 5lbs on the scale, and really i lost 2-3lbs in 3 days.
