What's the best way to drop 10 pounds in the shortest amount of time, without damaging my health? It's for a bet, and I don't give a shit if I gain it all back.

I was thinking of eating nothing but fresh fruit veggies until I reach the target weight.

>>38293625
Nice progress OP

What's your diet?

>>38294008
eat 800 cals less than your maintenance and do 20 mins of cardio everyday you'll drop 10 pounds in a month

>>38294008
East -350000 calories of broccoli today

Y'all fatties have it easy. You guys have all these stored calories to build muscle from. Try gaining 30lb of muscle from nothing.

>>38294028
Nah, that's not fast enough.

>>38293625
down to 203 from 256... Need 20 more lbs to lose...

>>38294008
keto + IF with half an hour daily window + 1500kcal deficit + 4 liters of water a day

will take a week, tops week and a half

trust me

>>38294075
would you recommend this for long term or should i go for a smaller defecit ? i posted above i got about 20 lbs more to lose and i have been doing 800-1000 defecit for the past couple months.

>>38294075
>4 liters of water a day
That's an actual health risk.

Brother, you're an inspiration to blokes like me - dudes who've come a long way but still have a long way to go.

>>38293625

Keep it up! Rebooting your relationship with food is easily the hardest part about this lifestyle change - otherwise you're always in danger of backsliding.

I started at 430 and floundered my way down to 345. That's when everything just sort of clicked, and in 5 months I found myself down to 220. After a week of eating at maintenance I landed 235 with all the water weight and glycogen.

Currently lifting on about 3,000-3,500 calories a day. I'd like to be gaining weight, but I've lost 5 pounds over the last month and a half due to all the physical activity I can actually do now.

6'4" 300 lbs to 185 currently. Wanna drop about 10 more until I start my first real bulk. Dropped it over a period of 2 years.

>>38294102
>would you recommend this for long term
No, there are easier ways to suicide

The limit you shouldn't go below imo is going down to whatever I wrote above, except with a 500kcal meal every 48 hours. I've done it for two weeks, so you won't die, but you will burn a lot of muscle and have close to no energy for any side activities. In the two weeks I did it without breaking the diet even once, I dropped from 75kg to 60kg (I'm 5'9). Was mostly fat, but some muscle too. OHP dropped from 50kg to barely 25kg for an example (yes, 25kg)
Take multivits and you'll be fine, and make sure you don't touch a single carb - you shouldn't even go above 5 grams.

If you want to repeat this diet, I strongly recommend at least a month of cooldown with a normal 2000kcal balanced diet, else you'll get organ failure and all the other possible bullshit.

It's a bit hard at first but fucking worth it. At no point in my life had I seen my abs up until after that diet. I strongly recommend every single obese person reading this to get on it starting tomorrow. The grass is way fucking greener on the other side, and two weeks of this is well worth the years-long effect of it.

Just don't be retarded and don't yo-yo

>>38294104
>4 liters of water is a health risk
what

>>38294064 m8 there is a reason that "reasonable" caloric deficits exist. by all means, stop eating, only drink water and black coffee, and run four hours a day, and start dropping 10 pounds a week. and when you collapse after the first week you can start again with a reasonable caloric deficit.

So I'm down from 89 kilos to 79 in about two months. I'm taking 1000 calories at max a day and taking 3000 mg l-carnimeme and doing freeletics but 10 kilos in two months still looks low to me. What am I doing wrong fit?

Every thread until you like it

>>38294433
if you're not giving your body just enough calories to function it will stop burning whatever you got stored up to survive, eat at around 800 calories and you'll lose 1 kg a week

>>38294473
Thanks anon I'll be more careful

He needs to cut 10bs temporarily for a bet, not cut ten a week long-term.

I lost a lot of weight but I still have a high level of body fat. What can I do to remedy that?

>>38293625
210 lbs at 5'8

Never been this fat in my life.

How low should i cut to before bulk? I have a pretty big frame.

>>38294668
>I have a pretty big frame.

No you don't.

Even if you do, the the healthy weight for someone with a "big frame" and someone with a normal frame is like a 3 lb difference.

>>38294680
ye ye, ideally i'd want to drop to 175

on 1900 calories a day

i've used several maintenance calories per day calculators, which one's the most accurate?

>>38294124
>Hourglass body

You could have passed for a nice trap. Why'd you muscle up?

>>38294668
I was literally this exact weight and height when I started, I went from 210 to 145 within a year and then I started to bulk, I'm 160 now and get some normies miring at the gym. Going lower than 145 was not worth it, weight loss was way too slow and food consumption was abysmal

>>38294025

Eggs, egg whites, and oatmeal with almond milk for breakfast.

A big chicken salad or chicken breast with some rice and broccoli, or chicken sandwich and some Greek yogurt for lunch. Dinner I make different stuff every night, I just focused on protein and a deficit.

>>38294846
what daily calorie intake did you start out with when initially cutting?

>>38294457
>And he is STILL not smiling.
fuck off

>>38294864
2000 give or take 100, did full body workout 3x week and cardio 3x week. Don't over complicate the cardio I just got on the bike for 20 minutes and shredded it on a difficulty that didn't kill my legs

>>38294874
I'll start smiling when I'm not a kv.

Also, the body I have now is nothing to smile about. I'll be happy when I'm the weight I'm at now, except 10% bodyfat. Maybe.

But probably not because body dysmorphia has its hooks in me.

>>38294008
Cut your leg off.

>>38294920
Smiling or not, congratulations on the progress. Keep going.

>>38294912
think i only have time for three big workouts per week

how skinny were you by the time you hit 150's? Any muscle definition?

>>38294696
5'8" 175lbs is still overweight according to BMI.

I would personally shoot for like 160.

Either way, it doesnt really matter. Just start cutting and stop when you're happy with yourself. Or do what the rest of /fit/ does and develop crippling body dysmorphia and ride the gainz train to feeltown.

Either way works just as well.

I am OP, like I said the picture on the right is about 220. Took it mid day, woke up at like 217 today. My goal is 190, do you think I'll look decent at that weight? Any current BF% estimates? Hard to tell where to plan a goal and how I look when I still feel like a fatass after -50lbs

>>38294224
Mirin those face gains.

>>38294457

>tfw im gonna have skin like that

How much is the surgery lads?

>>38294937
Skinny enough to see my abs and I had definition but I had no size at all, looked just like a skinny person but I had a bit of lower belly fat just because I had no muscle. Don't expect to look decent for 2years from a bodybuilding perspective, after 1 year you'll look normal in clothes though

>>38294937

>wake up an hour earlier
>enough time for 7 workouts a week, if need be

you gotta make time, or you are never gonna make it.

I want to post my progress and yet I also want to wait to update my photos when I'm finally under 200 lbs. Only 5 lbs left to go for that, so I'm getting pretty excited about it. I've lost between 146 to 166 lbs now and it's great.


I feel like an autist commenting on everyone, but keep up the good work, guys. It's been great watching all of you lose weight and bettering your lives while doing the same myself.

>>38295044
ye ye, you're right anon

work 9-5, but gym next to workplace so could do an hour before going home

>>38294457
How did you lose the weight?

>>38295013
ye man, just want to go back to wearing s and m clothes and not having man titties, those were the good days

>>38294280
Noice

>>38295066

try it a couple days and see if you like it. I hated it but I work 8-4 so would need to be up at 4:30-5:00 to go to the gym and then be at work on time. Doing that was enough motivation to start going after work regardless of fatigue.

>>38295089
moving to an apartment that's 2 miles away from work

so will get some solid cardio going there five days a week, should i stick to full body workouts in the gym?

Great job. Keep it up.

>>38295160

Go at least 4. 2 rest days between workouts is unnecessary and will only hurt you. And push through the first 1 or 2 weeks. You will be sore for your next workout, which is why you change it up.

i've never met anyone from the west who's considered them anything other than unattractive

Started at 313 6'1" in July, been about six or seven weeks since then. Weighed in at 289 on Wednesday. My wife and everyone at work are already noticing a difference. Feels good, but good god I have a long way to go. Thank you all for the motivation.

How big were you? I'm pretty fat and losing weight and I'm terrified of having skin like this

>>38297406

Being overly insecure is the least appealing thing. Some girls like hairy guys and some are indifferent to it.

>>38297492
>>38297512
How does a person recomp?
>>38297540
280, 5'11. And yes, this is more or less exactly what I didn't want to happen. It wasn't even fast weight loss, took place over 5 years. It's been very discouraging.

>>38297520
>um... Are you middle eastern or south asian?
Nope. But I'm not thinking in a meme tier retarded isis unibrow. It's just that most of the time people overdo the shaving so much that you can tell from a mile away that it's a unibrow in disguise, like the average guido

>>38297557

you lost all that and you don't know about recomp? you eat at maintenance and lift to raise your lean mass and lower your bodyfat

honestly you should just bulk 500 calories over your tdee for like a month and see what you look like

i went from 82 to 78 kg in 3 weeks,is that okay ?i wanna weight around 73-75,been counting calories and swimming 3hours/week

Nah, I got one of those at home hair removal things (silkin flash and go). So I don't have to shave.
I do have to use it about 3 or 4 times a year for maintenance (stray hairs pop up) but it's a lot better than shaving.

This is me as of yesterday. Forgot to take a start photo so I'll just use this as reference since I'm still a fat fuck. Just started browsing fit for motivation. Ive been cutting for about a month now and I've lost about 15 pounds. Was 260 now 245 approx. Been having good progress. For now I'm not lifting too much, just 3 times a week full body workout. Mostly cardio. Any tips for a fit beginner?

Down from 315 to 267. Lost 16 lbs in the last month. My goal was to hit 245 by early November but hopefully I'll blow that out of the water.

Is there any chance I don't have excess skin like in some of these pics? While I was fat, I wasn't nearly as large as some of these other people posting even when I was near the same weight. I don't know if it is a genetic thing but even when I was 315ish I didn't nearly look that weight. I'm 6' btw.

>>38299999

do ur compounds and stay consistent. i hope youre calorie counting

>>38300022
Yeah I'm counting, I get 1200 cals on weekdays and my weekend are 2000. I know it's not recommend to cut that many cals but fuck it

Some advice please
Im on a deficit eating 1200 cal a day
And doing c25k
Its been two weeks and have seen little weight loss I actually gained weight.
Im 5'5 and 88kg
Ive lost 5-6 kg so far but cant seem to lose any more its been about 9 weeks

9 weeks since I started and couldnt see much difference the last week or 2

>>38300045
Your body is probably in starvation mode and your metabolism is super slow. You're retaining as much weight as possible

>peak weight 360
>down to 320
>in 3 weeks

My secret? I consume 800cal/day. Am I gonna die if I keep consuming this little or will my fat keep me going?

>>38300089
Obviously your body is going chew on your fat and muscle to sustain itself when you give it insufficient food but eating so far below your TDEE isn't very healthy, especially for long period. You'll experience muscle wastage, headaches and difficulty thinking/concentrating, lethargy, it can screw with your blood sugar and hormone levels, etc.

It probably won't kill you though.

I've been doing that for the past few months and aside from a getting lightheaded a few times (I'm guessing from fucking up my blood sugar) I've been fine and lost a shit ton of weight.

>>38294232
Wow dude, your pic related on the left is my current bod. Didn't know that stretch marks could be so unnoticeable after weight loss.

>>38300135
Right now I'm feeling great besides being hungry all the time. My plan is to stay with this crash diet till I show symptoms like you talked about then up to 1200cal/day

>>38293744
Fuck me, mate, train your god damn legs.
That enough motivation?

>>38300153
Most strech marks have gone white and look more like scars, I honestly dont mind having them at all. I'd be more afraid of the loose skin which I got lucky avoiding for the most part. We're all gonna make it bruv

>>38300155
It might be worth thinking about limiting the dramatic deficit to 2 week stints and doing 2 weeks of minor deficit in between. If you're eating so little you aren't going to have the energy to lift (or do cardio) and your recovery time if you do is going to be horrendous. Working out while you're losing weight is important to fight muscle loss and also so you don't wind up looking like a skeleton wearing a garbage bag once you're at your target weight.

>>38300060
Ithought that was a myth
>>38300048
Does that affect it cause I dont keep track?

>>38300206
Sodium makes you retain water so if you eat too much of it you'll carry around more water weight.

>>38300202
I'm doing cardio now. Trying to do an hour 3 times/week. I do wanna get into some sort of weight lifting or whatever but have no clue where to start. I have lack of muscle from just being a lazy fat fuck.

Right now I feel like I have the energy I did when I was in high school. My only major complaint now is my poops are dry and my butt hole hurts from them but I only Poop once a week now

>>38300029
its not a good idea to cut too low. when i first started, i thought the same thing and i was cutting at 600 kcal a day. my body began to freak out and began to cut muscle and store fat because its more efficient to store fat as opposed to muscle. youll just lose a lot of muscle and just remain fat. slow and steady wins the race.

>>38300336

What if I do like 800-1000 calories with like 150-200 grams of protein?

>>38293625
>Lets discuss weight loss.

Let's discuss body re composition by dropping body fat and gaining muscle.

Dropping weight? YOU FUCKING THICK CUNT

>>38300336

You fucking broscientist, do you realise how galactically stupid that entire post is? No wonder you don't progress at anything.

>>38300336
what next? Telling us how protein turns fat into muscle?

kek

>>38300383

I feel stupid for not taking pictures when I started running. But anyway, I've gone from struggling to run for 90 seconds to running a 10k in 6 weeks. I'm only about 4lbs down so I really think I need to do more about my diet.

>>38296930
Damn. Huge loss. Well done, man.

>>38297680
Get lifting! Lats and shoulders will help you not look like the Ayy Lmaos abducted you and conducted extensive Pulled Taffy Experimentation.

Dam son, nice job.

Mine, starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, Can't wait to be done with this ever lasting cut

>>38301492
you know your supposed to lift on a cut right..

>>38301533

I do SS but i'm stalling on every lift. I cut hard tho, around 1200 kcal a day

>>38301484
Oh ok. That's too bad, looked like he was making progress for a bit.

>>38294008
Eat little salt and drink a shit tone of water, eat looots of vegetables it almost doesn't mater what type but eat nothing else, no nits no fruits just vegies. With those two things youl probable piss out 10 to 20 pounds of water if you'r a fat ass and you'll be able to loose 2-4 pounds of fat.

>>38300866

Looking good bro.

Stay the course.

We're all going to make it.

How do I lose my fat legs? How do I escape from the skinmyfat hell?

>>38296380
Looks like you have gyno anon, you should start taking arimidex or some other AI.

I've lost 53 lbs so far, From 255 down to 203. Got a birthday coming up in 2 months, aiming for around ~190 by then, but been stuck on a plateau for the last couple weeks. Recently started an EC stack just for the appetite suppressant effect because i've just been stupid hungry lately.

I also feel like if I let myself i'm sleeping to much. I sleep 8 to 8 1/2 hours every night but on the days i'm off work if I don't set my alarm i'll sleep 11 or 12 easily. Not sure why because my quality of sleep since losing weight has been way better, no more waking up in the middle of the night, pass out almost immediately. I guess its just a side effect of working out 6 days a week and 4 days a week of cardio.

I also feel like i'm hitting all my maxes for lifts while still on a cut, it just feels like a long road, still another 35-40 lbs to lose (Yes, Manlet).

5x5 stats as of yesterday:
squat: 75 -> 225
diddly: 135 -> 240
OHP: 45 -> 90 (stalled at 95)
BP: 45 -> 115

pretty happy so far

>>38303398
Nice progress. How many cals are you eating while on 5x5?

>>38300020
I think with proper exercise such as resistance training, plus if you're still young your skin should become taut and not be so flappy

>>38303792
In month 1 I was eating 2500 pretty much every day of the week, but I started getting more hungry and felt gassed at the end of workouts.

I bumped it up to 3000 a day in month 2 and it got better. Present day, I eat around 3000 on resting days on days where I lift I climb close to 3800. I'm going by what I see in the mirror and how I feel after workouts, if I start getting fatter I'll scale it down a bit and keep on truckin

>>38301339
Damn son that gives me motivation, I currently look like the before pic. What was your diet an routine?

>>38303792
>>38304213
also: I have assisted dips, chinups, and I work on increasing my grip strength after every workout too.

my deadlift started failing because of my grip at around 220 lbs, so I do rack-pulls but just hold them at the top for as long as I can and increase the weight every day I do it. blasted through the deadlift stalls like that, I recommend it for anyone with a weak grip

>former fatty
>want trappy body
>even though every other body part is agreeably lithe, stomach looks like sad oatmeal
Is the answer more cardio. I'm really starting to give up. I lose more weight and I become more of a skeleton everywhere but my stomach.

You anons motivate the fuck out of me.
Godspeed, you magnificent bastards.

>>38293625
Daily reminder that starting as a fatso is 100000 times better than skellyngton.

used to be obese as fuuuuck as a teen, like 300 lbs and dropped down to 220 by senior year. Plateuead but broke it recently with 100% clean diet and been lifting seriously for 2 months, 6x a week sometimes twice a day.

Just sux cause I'm team pubertal gyno but ay beats being a fat fuck.

that being said does it look like I could benefit from letrozole or nolvadex + raloxifene or does it look more like surgery's the only option? :( i've had gyno for more than 2 years probs

>>38305193
Do you have any problems with loose skin on your stomach, or is your stomach taut?

>>38305213
I still have a fairly high amount of body fat left, hence wanting to get to 160lbs to get to low bmi and get as much off before I start muscle stuff, so it's kinda too early to say for certain, but it seems fairly taut, because I don't have much loose skin from the amount I have lost so far, which is a good sign I guess. (I am aware that is not that helpful but the loose skin if there is any will probably be minimal)

I don't have any pictures because I'm a dumbfuck and never took any, but I started out in early 2013 at 280 lbs approx. 6'4" (and took a "break" which was pretty much me being a lazy fuck for about a year).
Weighed in last week at 208 lbs.
Just a couple more pounds and I'll be back in the average range BMI for the first time since 3rd grade. Feels good, thanks /fit/.

good job losing weight friends !!

good weightloss but please change your fashion style and hair

Started cold turkey keto diet on 5/27 and weighed in at 220lbs, my most ever. I'm 6' tall. This morning I weighed in at 197lbs. I'm going to lose 10-15 more pounds on keto and then switch to lifting and a more balanced diet.

My experience with keto has been pretty positive with only a few drawbacks.
Pro:
>I love meat and get to eat lots of it, especially fatty stuff like bacon, eggs, burrito bowls, sausage and peppers, etc.
>effortless weight loss. I haven't lifted a fucking finger to lose this weight.

Cons:
>loose stools - I haven't taken a solid shit in months
>can't drink beer - I have a Michelob Ultra or two every now and then but I really have to watch any carb intake
>irritable and physically weak feeling the first week - it is gone now, I feel like I have more energy now.

keep at it doppelgänger bro.

350 pound ambulocetus here, just started cutting, is 1500 calories a sane amount to start out with a day, or is that too low?

>>38306990
Too low. You're going to end up relapsing, having a bad day, getting all depressed, throwing a fit and saying "well fuck it I guess Ill just stop dieting!"

Maybe not literally, but you know what I mean.

Trust me...I know you want it off NOW....but it's going to take a long time. Took me two years to go from 350 to just over 200.

Take it slow. Cut at 2.5k.

>>38307264
the real hard part i find is not drinking so many calories. whiskey rum beer coke redbulls, fuck

>>38293625

Nine months progress, that's pretty shit to be honest with you but at least your photoshop skills are improving

>>38307391
in other words, you're a greedy cunt who values drinking more than getting in shape?

Your choice but don't blame the drink for your lack of discipline, you just don't want it enough.

Fucking weak fatty

>>38307391
Iktf bro I drink 10 beers everyday so I basically don't eat any food except 2 eggs in the morning and take a multivitamin

>>38307391
IKTFB.

I have the same problem...

The way I look at it is, if I'm dieting right 6 days out of the week and have one day where I eat a bit of junk food and drink a bit, well then that's fine. I'm still losing weight, even tho it slows down when I'm doing stuff on weekends.

Just make sure you don't overdo it.

I usually try to stick to just straight vodka, gets you drunk for the least amount of calories.

>>38306316
I'm the second person you replied to and I feel you on that honestly. I'd say to not buy that many clothes but tey and get some nice fitting athletic clothes that you can wear outside of the gym. Personally I'll go to the gym in whatever as long as it's athletic and doesn't fall off my ass.

>be 5'11, 200lbs
>cut at 2k-3k calories a day, hard to know an exact amount because I eat every meal in a cafeteria

I'm....not sure if I'm gonna make it?

Went from 286 to 244, been holding there for about two months. Plateaued hard but not regressing either. Gonna start running in the mornings in addition to elliptical/weight machines I've been doing after work and the bicycling I do on the weekends.

Pics a little old, im at 220 right now, my goal is 170 at 5 11'

I keep fucking up and I'm finding it harder and harder to break the cycle.

I started at 300 lbs in January of 2015. Got down to 208 this March.

A bunch of little stuff happened (hurt my back, had to move, hurt my leg, etc, just tiny bullshit) but I kinda just stopped trying. I've shot back up to 230 and I can't get back on the fucking horse. I keep finding excuses to not actually do what I need to do, and I don't know why I apparently don't want to finish this shit.

What do you do when you're where I'm at, /fit/?

>>38293744
You made great progress my dude. Just don't gain the weight back like I did when I got in a relationship, you'll hate yourself for it.

>>38294224
Wow man, that's quite a journey you took. Great job!

>>38294997
It really depends. I lost weight and never got skin like that

>>38308777
Man the fuck up and get back on the wagon.

I know your feel though. I'm just around 200, down from 350. I've been struggling hard to get back on the wagon ever since I got out of boot camp....been eating like shit.

But I've been getting better in increments. At the start of july I was eating ice cream and junk food every day, and not lifting at all.

A couple weeks ago, I was still eating junk for most of the week, but I had at least started to lift again.

This past week, I lifted every day, even the day I didn't feel like going, and my only bad eating day has been today, because I'm an idiot and decided to drink.

But that's ok. Because now I have a clear goal for next week: no bad days, even on the weekend.

It gets easier the longer you do it. Small steps.

We're all gonna make it, eventually.
