In March, I weight 229 pounds. I was diagnosed as having prediabetes with an A1C level of 5.8%. Cholesterol levels and blood pressure levels were normal. Also, I have iron-deficient anemia.
I made an effort in losing weight and eating healthy. I got my bloodwork done again and my A1C is at 5.3% as of May.
I lost a lot of weight by making an effort in exercising (lots of cardio EVERY DAY and some lifting on some days) as well as eating better (oatmeal for breakfast, turkey slice sandwiches on ezekiel bread for lunch, kiwis or pears for snacks between lunch and dinner, and whatever my family makes for dinner such as pinto beans, brown rice, and some form of chicken, or something with veggies.)
Now I'm at 175 pounds. Many have commented on my rapid weight loss and giving me compliments. Some have said I lost weight too fast and such.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm wondering if there's a danger with this weight loss while being prediabetic. Can anyone familiar with beetus give me advice on what I should/shouldn't be doing?

NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT.
>Some have said I lost weight too fast and such.
100% these people are fat and jealous of your progress & strength of will, or fat enablers who get off of looking down on fat people.
IGNORE THEM
What is really inside Lenny's stomach? Has he gone to a doctor to check it out or is that for cookie cutters?
Is he dying?
That's what happens when you abuse HGH for years.

It's probably calcified shit. My dad has the same thing but not as severe. They did an x-ray on him and found basically a chipotle burrito sized piece of hardened shit.
>>42142618
Hardened shit? How does that even happen?

I'm starting to like the feeling of guilt right after I'm done.

Sort yourself out

It's honestly more of a curse than anything. I've started getting raging erections at work and, as a PT, I'm always in gym shorts. They're getting pretty difficult to hide. Does anyone beat off at work?
Are your friends fit?
If they aren't, why do you hang out with them?

All fat or skinny, only buff one. Judge me all the time.
Whenever I lift I get nauseous. Doesnt matter if I eat or dont eat.
Any tips on how to get past this?
>>42142286
Maybe youre consuming too much food/heavy food before your workout? Or are drinking too much pop or shit that makes your body too acidic? Maybe your lytes are out of wack.

Fucking jesus /fit/
Took a look at my MFP and im constantly going 1000-2000 mg of sodium over daily
Is this a problem? I drink a fuck ton of water
>>42141802
The only problem I see is your blasphemy! Do you not know that it is sinful to take thy Lord's name in vain? Do you know Jesus Christ died for your sins, and he was raised three days later? Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God, for God is in three persons, who are not eachother, but are all the same God, and One.
>>42141802
Interested as well

Am I low T? I am on keto and Finasteride which may be to blame. I could easily go a year not fapping at this rate.
im on keto right know and i usually fap 2-3times a day but know i have no desire to do so
h-help plz
>>42141634
If I was on fin and started getting ED I would worry like a motherfucker.
it's probably the finasteride.
Finally decided to get in shape, for a man with a 29BMI how long would it take to get a body like pic.
I plan to do it through dieting, and at home exercises.
for my diet i plan to cut soda (drink around 1.5L/day) and make smaller portions with less junk food
as for exercises, can this kind of body even be obtained at home, or would i need a gym? any techniques, advice or questions welcome.
>>42141494
Home exercises? Really? Maybe it takes 20years!!
>>42141494
>for my diet i plan to cut soda (drink around 1.5L/day) and make smaller portions with less junk food
Or you could read up on nutrition, tailor your diet, sack up and hit the gym. I get the idea of SMART goals and having measureable increments but it's like you're putting in the bare minimum effort here.
>>42141494
Just take daily walks (5 km preferably) and practice caloric restriction.

what kinda gym has different brands of plates? also

I'm new to lifting, so I started SS but the workouts left me unfulfilled. Is doing this slightly modified version ok?
instead of squat, bench/OHP 3×5 and Deadlift 1×5, I'm thinking of doing
Squat 3×5
Bench 3×5
OHP 3×5 (Day A do bench first, day B do OHP first)
Deadlift 1×5
Chin ups 3× failure
What do you guys think?
inb4 beginners shouldn't make their own routines. I'm not trying to make my own routine I'm just trying to add more of a challenge. Plus I'm coimg to you guys for advice before I try it
>>42141070
I went through the same thing. Do several deload sets with all of your lifts. You can also do stiff leg deadlifts instead of deloading deadlifts. If you still have energy, you can add some additional lifts, ab workouts, and cardio.
I started SS after being physically active for a long time, and I can easily go for 2 hour workouts without getting too tired. What I did was added accessory lifts that correlated with the specific body areas focused on with each workout. For example, I would do the A workout and add additional pec and back stuff, such as chest flies and cable rows. I would then do B and add upright rows and lateral raises. The next time I did A, I would do calf raises and lunges or front squat. Repeat.
If you do add more volume, make sure you eat and sleep enough to accomodate for that
Why is deadlift only 1 x 5 in SS?
Can you really make gains on it only doing 1 set 3 times a week?
i go to school with this guy and i workout with him.
this is the result of a bro split, he doesnt squat, he doesnt deadlift.
>>42140784
he doesnt flat bench
he does incline dumbel for chest and cable flyes
>>42140784
You don't need squats or deadlifts to build that upper body.
Anyway, this guy is a 100% on roids. I've seen so many dudes like that over my 10 years of lifting, it's written all over his face.
>>42140799
hes on TRT (he pays the doctor 200$ every week when he comes in to get it, he doesnt pin himself)
>5 week progress pic today
>no change
>>42140731
Took me 12 weeks to see the extreme change
I believe in you anon
>>42140731
Take it in 3 month increments. 5 weeks isn't enough time to see a really noticeable difference.
>>42140731
Lmao, obvious american.
I get that Conor McGregor is fitter than me and can kick my ass.
But why does he look so OLD?
He's only 26 in this photo from 2015, but he already looks like he's pushing 40.
Beard+drugs+alcohol
Jesus christ now I feel old, I thought this guy was late 30s at least. 28 here
It's mostly the beard.
