Wait, people really do this?

>>35512418
I think it's OP's imagination, maybe if you are a "big guy" people usually look at you but don't give a shit, cogratulations OP for the change and keep at it, don't focus on what others may or may not think about you, remember you are doing this for yourself and for a better and healthier life

>always see people looking at me
>not sure if laughing at me or smiling at me.

I smile and say hi to fatties at the gym to try and make them feel welcome, and most regular users respect that you're trying to improve yourself. It's pretty heartwarming than seeing a fattie dripping with sweat and knowing they're on the road to making it.

But 99% of people don't give a fuck about others at the gym.

>>35512345

Are you sure you're not imagining it? Sometimes I feel someone looking at me but when you look back they're just zoning out, like me. There aren't a lot of places you can look while doing repetitive exercise in a full gym.

Anyway, ignore it. You can make it brah.

>>35512345
You just stand out as a fatty at the gym, and in this case that's a good thing. That's how you're deviating from other fatties.

If you didn't do things differently from what other fat people did, you'd stay fat. You're making it brah.

>doing it for me, not them

>>35512345
You did this to yourself. It's not going to get better by not going to the gym. It's is going to get better if you go to the gym and lose the weight. go fat one, go be great.....

All in your head OP. People look at each other in the gym, mostly just looking around between sets or exercises. No one is judging you, and even if they were, no one would ever approach you about it.

But I recommend you think they are judging you and just keep working harder and harder until you are the one looking at them.

>>35512456

Can confirm. I'm in a parallel dimension when lifting with headphones on.

>>35512345
Don't give up, we are all gonna make it

>>35512345
It doesn't matter that you did that to yourself in the first place: Know that what you do is much harder than what the rest of those fags face. It's on a wholly different level really. I know so many people who bragged about getting somewhat ripped after school. Going from the body most kids have with 17 after doing sports their whole adolescence to somewhat ripped is fucking nothing. What you do, that is a fucking challenge.

Yup been there OP. I was 455lbs when I started. Currently 285ish. I still have a gut (where mahority of my weight is) but my face is much slimmer as is everything else. Went from 5xl shirts just fitting to swimming in most 2xl.

When I started, of course you get nasty looks. Its their "is this guy lost?" attitude becausebyou probably look like you belong in a McDonald's not a gym.

Just keep at it and keep losing.

r-right?

>>35513196
Few possibilities:

1. Regular weight fluctuation. My girlfriend weighs 107 pounds in the mornings dehydrated and on an empty stomach. She could eat perfectly well so as to not exceed TDEE and be something like 116 pounds in the night.

2. You're overestimating how much you burnt and/or underestimating how much you ate.

>>35513264
Not that guy and I encourage you to carry on, but the loose skin'll be there. That's just being realistic.

>>35513198
Lemme see what I can dig up. Had a tendency to avoid cameras like the plague. Still do.

>>35513264
Shouldn't have eaten so much in the first place. That's your punishment for gluttony.

>>35513268
this. i always overestimate my calorie intake
and my exercise time i always round it down,
like i do 25 minutes of jogging cardio, and i just put in 20 minutes into my TDEE tracker
also
>tfw when you weight 76.5kg in the morning and you think youve lost half a kg and then you weight yourself at night and its 77.3 :(

I've been trying to eat <2400 cal per day and i've been doing like 90 curls, sit ups, and lifts of the dumbell over my head per day and i'm adding in pushups and stuff too. It's possible i've gone over <2400 but not by a significant amount.

for reference I am 19, 5'11" weigh about 190 and I'm just trying to get down to like 160

Eat clean at ~500 cal deficit, keep your workouts intense and ignore what they think. You are not there to please them.

(im the ex fatty that was 85kg and now am 77kg/76.5 in the morning) and im stuck at 77kg for some reason cant go down, but maybe its because i started going to the gym aside from running so maybe muscle (but ive only gone 4 days so i doubt it)
any help is appreciated

>>35513396
I don't think so. Most people guess my height is 6 even and I'm the tallest of my friend group but it's not uncommon to run into people taller than me so I like to think i'm on the shorter end of tall

i use myfitnesspal daily, and sometimes i go up to 1,700 but never more than that daily.
ive been stuck for about 2 or 3 weeks, which by this time i should be on 76.7 or .8

>>35513400
less than 1,500 -1,700 cals a day? really? ill see if i can cut down to 1,300 cals

I started at 140 kg with clothes on. As of a few weeks ago, I was 105 with no clothes. I've been sitting around there for a stupid long time, so I recently stepped up my eating game, aiming for a decently lean 85-90 kg come summer.

>>35513387
I tried to do 1200 cal because I accidently put 19 pounds in the calorie calculator thingy instead of 190 and I felt like i was going to puke and die

>>35513339
General rule of thumb is multiplying bodyweight in pounds by 10 for the amount of calories if you want to maintain that weight (if I remember correctly). Consider that your next milestone is 180 pounds (~1800); consider underestimating how much your exercise burns (like by estimating TDEE by BMR + sedentary exercise level + underestimation of exercise) and eat only as many additional calories as you underestimated you were burning (i.e. 200). Going for 1900-2000 a day is a safe bet to get you to 180 pounds at a steady rate.

>>35513045

if troll: piss of m8

if srs: muscle is more dense than fat. You'll weigh just as much but look smaller.

Take a skinnyfat dude at 5'11'' 185lb, and compare to a 6'3'' 185 middleweight fighter. Two extremes but the point remains.

>>35513434
try 1,700?

I'll try about 1800 for the next week or so, I havent really been religiously counting them so that could explain it but for example I eat two servings of oatmeal for breakfast every day which is ~300 cal and sometimes will have a tuna sandwich or two which is around 400-500 for two i think.

I'm a woman and I don't look at obese or fat people with a bad eye. Seriously, I got respect for everyone who takes their ass to the gym, especially for people like you who must struggle with it.

I'm a 17yo fattie who's always been a fatty & struggled with confidence blah blah, same old story. I started being one of those body confident fatties you see on tumblr not too long ago but I just had my first 'sport night' with the cadets and I came to the realisation I am so unfit.

I've been scared of going to the gym ever since I was scared of doing PE in Primary school. I tried to stick at home exercise sbut I eventually just kept cheating out of it (I also fell ill; not weight related).

Would I really be accepted at a gym?
Even in the small village I live in?

I'm really nervous but seeing you comment gave me hope, anon.

Everyone in a gym is there for themselves and don't have time to waste on making other people's lives harder.
You might get some people watch you for a bit as you're a new face, but I can guarantee that there will already be fatties at any gym, it's not weird and frankly its the best place for them to be.
Gyms are for everyone, and as a paying customer you have as much right to be there as anyone.

Go get fit, anon, and show us that falling into the fat acceptance crowd isn't the end game for fatties.
Go make it.

I'm so scared, and I don't really get scared easily.

But it's just still out of my comfort zone, I think.

Are there many exercises you can do at home that are equal to the ones you could do at a gym?

I was doing some research today for a uni assignment, the list of problems that are caused by obesity is absolutely massive, but one thing stood out to me, as its usually buried under a deluge of serious medical conditions, or more pressing related conditions.

A paper written in 1981, before the global obesity rate skyrocketed, which talked about the general repository problems caused by obesity.

Breathing.

Being so fat, that it impedes diaphragm movement so much, that you are unable to breath properly.
Not being out of breath because you are shifting a huge amount of extra poundage every time you move a limb, but because you body is choking itself in visceral fat.

Better life is a huge understatement.

Congratulations on your loss, anon.

>>35515324

>>35515296
Forgot to mention that many women, not all but many, don't have the drive to stay in shape. Fps and fph are dominated by women for a reason. So a slightly chubby one, which I would fuck mercilessly, will very likely and easily become an avalanche of back tits and HAES

This is a sad reality I know. At which point if I cant get them to stop that progression from chubby to huge, im gone. Like I said I LOVE chubby girls but if she cant give the tiniest of effort to stay just that, chubby and not fat fuck mode, i walk.

It would literally only take 1-2 days of exercise and calorie minded eating a week to keep a chubby girl in that mode.

>>35515472
The /fit/ body fat % versus muscle weight is posted every now and then and builtfat is really more of a meme. Builtfat is like a construction worker who lifts heavy shit all day and is really strong otherwise but has a steady diet of high calorie garbage

Push yourself out of your comfort zone in as many ways possible. Getting /fit/ doesn't just mean hitting the gym on the daily. Try new dishes, if you can't cook teach yourself!

If you still don't feel comfortable at the gym, buy dumbbells or a barbell and the assorted weights and use them at home to do squats, bench presses, deadlifts, etc.

>>35515365
If you feel it is too much of a risk (IE gym has a bad reputation, or is a hangout for gangs) then wait until you can save up for a gym membership somewhere else.

A gym isn't always a necessity.
I know a guy who does nothing but running, and got in shape after a heart attack. Never steps foot inside gyms.
My father stays fit by cycling and walking.

Bodyweight routines can be done pretty much anywhere you have space. Lifting is superior, but it can do in a pinch. There's lots of stuff online about how to progress to harder exercises using minimal equipment.

Other than that, read sticky, fix diet, pick non-fad exercise plan, stick with it, lose weight. It really is that simple.

>>35513051

>>35515662
Snacking a major way fatties overeat. It's not just their massive meals, the constant grazing adds innumerable calories. So yes, a healthier diet and a bodyweight routine is perfect. Calories in, calories out is a very real thing no matter what HAES activists try to tell themselves

>>35512418
Yeah, people also yell at you from their cars. I used to run without ear buds before

How angry would the fat acceptance lot get if we collected every green text fat loss story we could get on /fit/ which says how much happier they are thing, and how much being fat hurt them, then posted every single one of them at the same time on every social media platform available, using their hashtags?

I know most of them will scream and claim its all lies even with progress pictures or even medical reports, but it would probably cause some less brainwashed to realise it can be done, and it is worth it.

>>35515980
Holy shit this must be done!

>>35515980
That would be good. The thing is I don't endorse fat shaming either. I was fat all my life before I started losing weight. I could've lost it when I was 16/17 but I was bullied and made to feel like dogshit so I barely left the house because there would ALWAYS be one guy on the other side of the street who would shout something at me. So I didn't start losing until I was 22. I had so much fucking anxiety going into the gym for the first time. I'll forever hate those scumbags.

They would of course claim they're all lies, photoshopped, and if they're real, the people in the "after" pcitures must now have an unhealthy obsession with the gym.

I was the 455lb anon who posted earlier. I lost my 155lbs by dieting. No gym or activity other than my job and just watching what I ate. Gym obsession my ass.

I lost years of my life afraid of gyms because I was too fat. When I started lifting, I realised no one gives a fuck, it's actually nice to see people making progress. Better a fat inside a gym than inside a Mc Donald's.

At that age I ways on the football team. Was always chubby but because of football practice and lifting required, I was a 16 yo 6'2" 260lb built fat. Used to always get insulted by a team mate. He was 18, same height, but maybe 210 and admittedly ripped. They were never joking insults either. This guy genuinely did not like me for some reason. Put up with his shit for 4 months because feared getting kicked off team if I started anything. Anyhow it reached boiling point

>Walking home from practice
>Douche and his buddy are talking with another group of team mates.
>Douche makes the effort to break away and start insulting me
>Other team mates visually uncomfortable as none of them had a problem with me but none stopped him
>I have to walk past this asshole to continue my walk home
>Insults getting worse as he is trying to impress the others
>Doing my best to ignore him. Eyes averted, staring straight ahead but I'm heated.
>As he steps in front of me to physically stop me, I swing as hard as I could into his face.
>Hear a crunch he goes down.
>As he is rolling on the ground with (what I was told later a broken nose) I put a knee on his chest to keep him from moving
>Start swinging like mad into his ribs.
>I mean hard hitting you can hear the thumps hits.
>His friend just staring open mouthed
>Not a single person there lifted a finger to help him or pull me off.
>I went home treated my now bruised and bleeding hand, and expected a visit / call from the police or coach saying I'm off the team. >None came. Douche was absent for the next 2 days.
PWhen he came back in he had 2 black eyes from the broken nose, and I had fractured one of his ribs when pummeling him.
>He never looked at me or talked to me again
>His buddy did the same
>Douche told everyone who wasn't there that day that he was mugged


Lesson? Don't take shit from anyone. Not saying to beat the shit out of everyone, just learn to ignore it and you continue doing you.

1. MODS

2. Go to http://whatwillilooklike.com/# and put in the weight you want to be. Then save that picture, put it has your screen saver, put it somewhere you'll see it all the time and remember that that person exists inside of you.

3.. You're 17, get some self-confidence, the gym really helps. Going to first time is honestly the hardest part but you'll quickly realize no one there gives a fuck about you, they're all there for themselves. At most you'll get a sideways glance but at least for me seeing an unfit person I just think "good for them".
Yeah its out of your comfort zone but anything worthwhile, getting fit, girls, etc will be. As cliche as that sounds its the honest truth. To get even more cliche its 100% true that the more you get out of your comfort zone the easier it gets.
Go to the gym, headphones on, world off, and just do your shit. Prove everyone that looks at you and thinks you're not going to stick with it wrong. There's a fit, confident person inside of you anon, and I'm not just saying that, every single person has that. Not everyone has the willpower to chisel that out, that's what makes great people great.

Lastly "Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today."

My dick gets so hard thinking about all the weight I lost and every little thing that changed about me over time. Narcissistic? Maybe. But God dammit not feeling like shit every morning like a fried chicken and snickers hang over and having the energy to lift makes me feel better than any cheese burger slow death ever did

>>35512345
I used to really get off on that when I was mega fat. The slow erosion of the self confidence they built on the assumption of my failure.

>>35515091
I went into the gym so scared I'd be laughed at when I couldn't even lift 10 pounds, couldn't go for a light jog on the treadmill for more than a minute without being out of breath. Nobody stares, nobody says anything and I saw some guys in even worse shape than I was who were way weaker.
Everyone is going in there to improve nobody started their first day at the gym lifting huge weights or with rock hard abs. The gym is probably the least judgmental place I've ever been 99% of guys mind their own business but eventually you're going to catch a glimpse of someone taking a peak at you when you start to improve.

U can do it men , just keep doing exercise :)

>>35513387
Went from sub human 280lb obese cow to strongfat and high test, there was no ignore phase. All the little subtle reactions in body language, disgust, confusion, anger, competition, lust... and then they just watch you from the corner of their eye for their whole workouts. It delights me in a really sick way.

It definitely feels better, that is for sure.

I think my greatest pleasure so far has just been seeing the visible available space in pants.


still a long way to go for me, but I have some short goals I plan to hit which are keeping me going.

Going below 300 again is my first (aiming for around late march/early april)

After that, I plan to start setting more similar goals until....whenever.

>>35519347
Bruh I'm fitting into pants I haven't in years. And yes I saved my old pants fuck yee

>>35519504

I only saved like 1 or 2, gave most away.

Thankfully I make a decent living, and have no major addictions/spending problems, so buying clothes won't be an issue

>>35512989
210kg squat in 8 months? bullshit.

>>35515899
This is what I want anon, I'm not a resolutioner, wanting to lift weights for a few months but its taken me a couple month to get the money for dumbbells because all the gyms in my area are like $40 a week.

Im 21yrs 6foot 146kg but I used to do martial arts in highschool and used to be hot. After highschool, couldn't get a job and so went full depression, anxiety eating for like 5 years.

Tried on some jeans a few months ago, nothing in my size (size 44 jeans) and I'm like fuck it, so I wannna slim down 6 inches in the hips and then just keep on fucking going. Been lifting for 2 weeks at home, 500 cal deficit, girlfriends supportive as, doing the calorie deficit and weights with me. Im not going back to being a fat unfit fuck, since I know how good I used to look.

Im gonna make it, and stories like yours make me think that this isn't all a naive fantasy.

Bruh... You're a (maybe) heterosexual male and you spend that much money on jeans? Fegut?

Got a question for you former fatties. Did you see a spike in confidence after you lost the weight?

I lost 80 pounds (230 lbs to 150) and I still have zero confidence. Used to rely on alcohol to socialize but I quit drinking and don't know how to talk to people.

>>35512345
You worry more about you than anyone else on this planet. So most of the time it's just you imagining things. And for the other 10%, fuck them. You do it for you not for them

I just started my cut officially on Sunday, so far it's going really well. I've been eating at my deficit.

I'm just really proud because before I was binge drinking every night, and I've only had one night of drinking so far and I was still in my calorie range.

Not married, nor will we ever be. But we live and rent a shit apartment together because I wanted to try to make it work for the kids sake. Now I don't care and consider cheating to be a valid option

>>35521414
I did but I also never had a problem talking to people. Once I stop being a fat piece of shit I cared even less. I guess for me it was not a confidence issue personal issue of whether or not I gave a fuck. Turns out I never said, and being then just turn me into a glorified shitlord

>>35519221
If 10lb weights weren't meant to be used, they wouldn't have them. They're not just rack warmers.
it doesn't matter what you lift, as long as you are making progress with it, and if you are you'll not be on 10lb for long.
>>35521022
The older you get, and the fatter you get, the more of a problem this becomes, as your skin loses elasticity.
My friend went from fat enough to get stuck in a submarine hatch to sub-20% bf when he was still a teen, and didn't have too much sagging.
Older you become before you make that change, the more chance you'll need a nip and tuck.

>>35515091
Don't let things like this get you down. Getting fit will not only boost your confidence more than it already is but it can even help alleviate any symptoms stemming from your illness.
This probably won't mean much coming from an anon but I really do wish you the best

I have two friends, one is a fatty and the other is a skelly. Both gave up on their gyms because they said that everyone was looking at them. After talking to them, it was clear that they were just insecure and paranoid.

People at gyms most of the time are only looking at themselves. So should you. Concentrate on your workout and stop worrying about the rest.

>>35522719

pmuch this.

nobody gives a fuck.

>see fattie at gym
>am fit as fuck
>makes me smile

I'm generally shy and scared of confrontation, but I feel if someone insulted a fat guy at a gym I'd stand up to him right there.

You really shouldn't give a shit about women anon, I'm handsome as fuck and they still get disgusted by me because I don't stare/hit on them at the gym. Women are absolute cancer, do not care about them in the gym.

>>35523246
Oh and also OP, gyms attract the worst kind of assholes. Here's an example of mine:

>fat but huge arab who lifts way more than he should for 1 or 2 reps and makes loud sounds after which he looks around in disgust like we're all weaker or looks really aggressive and angry if you lift as much as him
>small arabish dude who is fit but weak and look at less fit people like they shouldn't be there
>two turks wearing tight tanktops that will take 5 machines/bars/dumbells/whatever at the same time for 1 exercise and get frustrated if someone else is taking shit they need

All in all, you have to avoid paying attention to these sorts of people. Unfortunately gyms attract normal people AND the lowest scum on the planet.

>>35512614
What did he do?

>>35523275
Fuck arabs man. There's some at mine that take every weight that somebody isn't using as they get their and take them all over to their favourite smith machine. I've never seen them do a lift that isn't bench press and they won't give you any of the weights because they need them.
It pisses me off so much, they take all the pl8s but end up using two 10kg weights instead of one 20 so the bar has more individual weights on it. They use 2 5s for 10kg etc it's the most retarded thing i've seen
