Amazing progress bro.

I'm an ex Fat Fuck. 216 to 185 at my lowest. Lately been gobbling too much and went up 7lbs. Sucks. As the crisis thi g, I feel you every step. I'm in the middle of it, I go back and fourth. My minds fucked up haha. If I look good and girls hit on me im like dafuck? But I gotta remember what I feel on the inside isn't what people recognize.

I lifted 2 months straight, zero days off alongside IF and Keto. Dropped 30 lbs! Loved it and felt super healthy. Even after two weeks of binging, my cholesterol and blood levels are perfect and optimal.

Awesome thread op. If i had a before and after i'd post.

thanks so much! everyone has their flaws after losing weight and shit. Love yourself and realize its so much better. Losing weight from being really fat does NOT make you look amazing. It simply reveals the foundation for getting really
fit

3.5 months in bewteen pics

4.5 months from sedentary

Honestly, to any fat guy, I would say, don't just put down your fork and gobble random shit and count calories and eat a deificet of pizza and shit

Sure you will lose fat, but you shoudl lift and eat clean so you can have some muscle to cut down to

you want some muscle to be under your lard so you actually look somehwat human

You're gonna be starving 24/7, so just deal with it, it's that or be fat. If you want to be not fat you will deal with it.

I dealed with hunger pangs nonstop 24/7 no matter what for 3 months then I said fuck this and started an EC stack.

Careful as I am supper addicted to the EC and wouldn't recomend it, but it nukes the hunger

also I have erectile dysfunction and am angry like 50% of the time for no reason and anxious

appetitie suppresion is good though

>>40166371
35 pounds is not negligible. Keep it up
What's your height breh?

OP here. My family was super supportive of me trying to lose weight and one of the best feelings i remember while doing it was when I had lost like 25 pounds and still felt obviously pretty fat.

My mom took me to the grocery store and had me see what 35 pounds of meat looks like. Its a fucking lot. be proud of yourself and keep it up. If a lot of the fitter guys on this board lost 35 pounds, they'd look like a completely different person and you're on your way to that as well my friend

>>40166402
Awesome progress man, you look like completely different!

4months, it's something

Was 300 lbs back in June

Now I'm 260. My diet could be better honestly but I'm still pretty happy with my progress. Not on my computer right now so I can't post before and after pics

>>40166434

great job

>>40166419

keep in mind you lost 35 lbs of fat, not meat. It's like 5x the ammount you think.

>>40166421

thanks breh

just feel the need to warn ppl about ec, it has it's + and -

It is addicitive and has lots of sides but it is a very effective appetite suppressant

>>40166470
I used EC for a while and never had any bad side effects, you just can't use it as a crutch and it can be a good idea to cycle it on and off.

You only need it to break plateaus IMO

>>40166405
5'9, was told there's a lot of muscle mass in my legs so it makes me weigh more than I look, seems I used to walk about 10 hours a day. Might have been the trainer trying to say nice things or something

>>40166208
>Not being fat anymore is a really really strange existential crisis type feeling. It's absolutely amazing to look normal, but I feel like I don't even know the person I used to be, and his lack of self control and discipline.

That's how I feel about finally gaining weight at 19. Kind of a sad feeling. You lived so much life with your old self and it molded you into who you were, and now it's like that person is gone, and you're brand new with a new identity that you don't feel like you fit into. That's the best way I can explain my experience anyway.

>>40166208

>>40167093
Thyroid problems gotta be the result of the thoughts in your mind. No doubt. Look at her! If her thyroid was really fucked up no way she'd look like that. The human body can either destroy or heal itself. I bet her thyroids perfect now along with her mindset.

digits confirm

I started at 353lbs 5 years ago. I'm currently 6'8" and 230lbs. My goal is around 200. I've been working in more lifting and cardio, since most of my weight loss was from dieting. My weight has been stuck for about six months, but my clothes sizes are going down, so it must be helping.

>>40167126
That's normal tall bro. I'm 6'5" and I've been around 215 for 7 or 8 months but I lost 2+ inches around my waist in that time. I started at around 350 so keep it up.

>>40167093
>even with thyroid problems working against her losing weight.
That is a bold lie.

Reason: Hypothyroidism doesn't just makes you fat. It also kills your energy. So you can't just workout your way out of it. You'll crash and burn. That's like saying your workout your way out of Cushing's.

>>40167189
No offense, but no it's not. Keep cutting and when you have a 12-15 bf% then go and build muscle

>>40167242
no offense taken, i wasn't working out because i was on shitty medication but now i was able to lay them off i will start doing some lifting to get a bit more aesthetic

>>40167218
hypothyroidism's main cause is a lack of iodine in your system. it is easily balanced.

I was dumped a month ago and broke my foot the same day. I gained 7 lbs over the holiday season but finally was able to get to the gym yesterday. All the anger I felt towards him has been lifted. Even if your goal isn't to lose weight working out really helps your brain functions.

We will all make it

Stop sucking in your cheeks so much for pictures damn homie are you trying to get to the center of your marrow

Alright guys I have a very related question to the thread. How do I get over food addiction? I don't want to bother explaining if I'm serious or not cuz I am, if you don't get what I mean I mean I'm addicted to food in the same sense people are addicted to cigarettes or alcohol. I feel the need to eat 24/7 and get anxiety if I don't eat when I want to. I've tried getting better but obviously I haven't been doing very well. I'm 19 and I'm still at my first job which is a pizza place where I can make my own free pizza and shit cuz I'm a manager. Where do I even begin? Obviously I know just put it down, stop, etc, motivate yourself. I'm talking about actual addiction here like I know I'm making my life worse but I can't stop even when I'm full. Last night I tried to stop beating around the bush with half trying half not trying to get better and just shoved my face till I couldn't get any more so that psychologically I'd maybe get my full. As of this morning I'm obviously still digesting the tons of food I ate and I don't have the urge to eat but idk what I'm going to do. I've lost 30 lbs just eating less before but since working here I've gained 40 back. I live at home with parents so I either eat food from work or complain about their shitty stuff they bring and go out or something. I'm going to try doing my own groceries and shit now and have an actual diet for once and see how that goes cuz I've never done that before. Literally any and every tip you guys can give me would be appreciated cuz I am legitimately addicted and it gets in the way of my life so much that I'd rather not even talk about it.

I won't post my progress since this is for ex-fatties, but I went from something like 365 to 200 lbs.
I need to step it up to lose the last 60 or so lbs.

>>40167078
You can do it, anon. Tracking calories will help you out tremendously. So many people I talk to ask me what I do while they're on the silliest diet programs when tracking calories is not as time consuming as they think.
Make sure you get yourself a digital kitchen scale to help weigh foods. Those scales are $15 well spent.

>>40166342
What mode is this?

Not as impressive as the rest of you guys, but my original weight was 190 and right now i'm at 177. I jog 3 times a week and hit the gym 2 times a week. I'm doing my best to eat 1000-1350 calories a day. I quit eating sugary treats and drinking soda. Slow and steady wins the race.

Started losing weight in 2007, started at 260. Dropped to 175, at 180 right now with lots of recomp. 10 years strong now, pic on right is a year old but can't be arsed to take a recent one right now. Spent the last year rock climbing 1-2 times a week + lots of hiking and mountaineering, in addition to working out 4-5 times a week. Feels good to be healthy.

>>40170499
Well done brother!

Working on it now. So far I've gone from 255 to 236. Shooting for 2lbs/wk until I get down to 200.

I have a hiking trail like 5 minutes away from my house, I'm going to start going to it 3 times a week.

How serious is counting calories? I work a sedentary desk job and am considering just cutting lunch out entirely.

Diet is like 90% of weight loss dude

>>40171132
Don't cut meals out, quit eating shitty meals. Eating healthier Is the way forward and the majority of the hard work. I never go hungry but I eat healthy as fuck.

>>40171132
Don't cut meals out. If you're fat it's because you are not eating well. Look at your daily diet and see what you're eating. Cut out unhealthy shit-- sweets,treats. If you're getting food truck shit at work change it to a protein drink or something. Diet is just as important as exercise. Cutting out meals is a surefire way to make you resent weight loss, and what you need is a permanent solution. The biggest thing people don't realize is that it's a lifelong change, you don't just start eating like a fatty again once you hit your goal-- that'll undo all yourprogress . Sticky contains all the info you need, but seeing a dietician once to get guidance isn't a bad idea if you genuinely have no idea what to do. Stick with it, and keep exercising.

>>40171132
It's easy as fuck. Do something sustainable, don't do crazy shit. Read the sticky. Counting calories is mandatory, cardio is nice but optional. You can't outrun a bad diet.

You never have to feel hungry or skip meals. Just choose lots of foods that are highly satiating.

Example: 3 meals a day of double portion of lean meat, one potato and big pile of steamed or raw veggies can be 400 calories each, total 1200 calories. This food is satiating enough to get you through the day. 1800 calories at your weight should make you lose 2 pounds a week, and now you have 600 bonus calories if you want bigger meals or some snacks. Now you're never hungry, you get to eat whatever and whenever you want as long as you center your diet around getting those three meals, and you lose weight.

Most people get fat because they eat calories that are not satiating, so they eat them nonstop. See sugary snacks, extra servings of carbs, liquid calories like milk, juice, soda, cooking with lots of oil or butter, etc.

Read the sticky though, this shit is easy and you don't have to suffer, but it takes time.

I was 230 at the beginning of August, now I'm down to 178. I'm a manlet so I'm still fat as shit, but it's good progress I think. I got fucked over the holidays and stalled for a bit, but I am back on track. Good luck to anyone itt who is still going.

When you go shopping, only take one of the reusable bags. That's what I did and I ended up buying less junk because I could only take what fit it one of the bags. I used to fill the whole fucking cart with junk.

I don't know if it applies to you, but I eat a lot of fast food-type of food (fries, chicken nuggets, chicken tenders/tendies/whatever/, etc.) with ketchup. So I got rid of all of my ketchup and now I naturally want fast food less because I know I'll enjoy it less without ketchup.

Drink a lot of water. A lot. You'll be surprised at how filling it can be.

Eat food with a lot of fiber because it keeps you full for a long time because it takes your body longer to process. Your body doesn't send hunger signals until there's no more food left to process, so you can kind of "trick" your body into being less hungry by eating a lot of fiber.

Lots of fruits and vegetables are very low in calories, usually because they're mostly water.

Brush your teeth if you feel like you might binge. You'll be hesitant to get them dirty again by eating. It works for me.

If you're going shopping, do the math for what you're going to buy and write a check beforehand so you can't throw in junk food at the last minute. Either that, or only take cash, leave your credit card, and take barely enough cash to cover the healthy groceries.

Lastly, this may not apply to you, but I'm germophobic and I can't stand eating without washing my hands. If you feel like you're about to eat food that's around you, disallow yourself from washing your hands, or hide your soap or something. If you're a filthy degenerate, then this may not deter you at all.

Another trick is to take a sip or two of milk between each bite of whatever you're eating. It honestly makes it seems 3 times more filling. If you've never done it before, you'll be surprised by how much more filling it makes the meal.

Try staring at yourself naked In the mirror when you eat. I used to do that for my masturbation addiction, just created premature ejaculation but my addiction was over quicker each time. Start by drinking a gallon of water a day. Try thinking about water instead.

230-170-200 and now back on the cut. Was gaining weight for my powerlifting meet. 424 squat/248 bench/507 deadlift. Close to 3 years total

>>40171375
>tfw have those exact same stretch marks

Good to see them fade away. Also the amount of fat you have directly relates to the amount of upper lip curl you have.

So I realize I need to lose at least 100 pounds. This happened about last week when I first noticed that I have stretch marks, although they're mostly hidden under my gut. I also have much more noticeable stretch marks around my armpits and upper tricep, which confuses me because that skin hasn't stretched as much, but, that's the way that it is.

Anyways now after seeing that it kind of scared me straight, but now I can't stop reading the horror stories of people dealing with loose skin for several years, or having the "tiger stripe" stretch marks on their bodies. Is this unavoidable?

For reference, I'm 5'9", about 265 now, thinnest I've been was maybe 18 months ago at 145, I think my healthiest was about 170.

I haven't had a proper hypertrophy workout in a while so maybe working out again will give me the "noob gains" which might give me a boost in filling my loose skin, but I don't know. I'm currently at the biggest I've ever been.

Food addict dude, listen to the advice this fit bro gave you. It is SO GOOD.

If you do these things, you can get over this!

As for me, I'm 209 coming down from 220 just two months ago. I'm 6ft 1 and my goal weight is 180 so I still have a long way to go. Here is what is working for me:

> Was 155 Skelly mode during really bad bipolar years
> Got the right meds and went back to school and work

It is retardedly easy. It has 2 main benefits: You learn how much calories there is in some stuff you wouldn't have guessed (Like cheese), and you can be confident enough to go over your calories any given day since you can now correct in the following (or previous) days.

>>40171560
Nice man, keep it up.

>>40168441
Lots and lots of water helps

Right before you go to eat something, drink a big glass of water

When you're done eating drink a big glass of water

When you're not thirsty or hungry drink a big glass of water

Trying to stop addiction cold turkey, whether it be cigs drugs, alcohol, whatever, is usually extremely difficult. Try counting your calories and slowly weening yourself off. Eat high volume/low cal foods (veggies, fruits, etc)

Postin for the sake of postin.
Honestly not being fat is one of the biggest confidence boosters there is.

Today a 9/10 girl told me that I'd be pretty attractive if I lost weight. I've been on a diet but I feel good about myself now. I'll be ex-fat within the year guys. I know it. I've wasted my genetics for too long.

>>40171576
Thanks bud. Really wish I would notice it more, but I guess my crippling depression and dysmorphia keeps me from seeing things others see.

Right now, for some reason, everyone in the barber shop I go to calls me GI Joe in Spanish thinking I don't understand the language and who they're directing it to. I'm almost certain it's mainly due to the fact that my barber keeps practically shaving my head. Really tired of telling him that I don't want my hair too short, but he keeps at it. Really want some hair gains.

I've had my ups and downs but I was 245 6 months ago and now I'm 220. I know it's pretty slow but I slipped up a couple times and regressed. My friends all commented on how much weight I've lost and how good I look, and although I'm nowhere near where I want to be, I'm very far from the mindset I had as a fatass.

I'll rest when I hit 180-190, but it feels good to be on the road and making progress.

Just remember: nothing tastes as good as being fit feels

>>40171132
The most important thing you need to realize is that, for weight loss, exercise is almost useless.

Seriously.

For weight loss, it's all about what you eat. You can never, ever outrun your fork.

If you walk for an hour, and eat an apple afterwards, you have just negated the walk in terms of calories.

What's going to make you lose weight, is your TDEE. Eat below it, without exception. If you want to exercise, go ahead. It won't help much, but it will speed things up a bit.

It's all about the food.

Untrue. When I'm mountaineering I'll eat easily 6k+ calories daily, and I'll still lose 2-3 pounds a day. Carrying 65 pounds of shit uphill for 10 hours straight for two days will absolutely give you a blank check to eat whatever the fuck you want for the next week.

Extreme examples aside though yeah you should probably watch what you eat.

How often do you think the fat fucks on this board go mountaineering anon?

Im not against cardio, i think your body is gonna look different if you lose weight through exercise than through diet. But consuming too many calories is what makes you gain weight in the end, which is why diet is so important.

Fatasfatasses should be doing counting calories, doing cardio, and lifting. But diet is main priority

>>40171132
i'm not fat, but I do the whole bulk and cut cycling thing and I easily drop fat by doing the following:

>1. Buy a food scale, they're cheap on Amazon and more worthwhile than a body weight scale.

>2. Buy a cheap journal - I find physically writing things down feels much more real than any sort of app.

>3. Every. Single. Thing. You . Eat - weigh it in grams, write in the journal. I write down what I ate, how many grams it weighed, then I write down how many grams of protein, how many grams of fat, and how many calories it was. I'll add up daily totals after every meal so I can keep a running track of how many calories I have left in the day so I can constantly make eating decisions based off that. "Okay, I have 1000 calories left today, now 500 calories, now 200 calories." Keeping a running tally of my macros (Proteins/Fats) lets me know that I need to eat something more protein or fatcentric by the end of my day. If I'm not eating enough fats, I might add 7 more grams of coconut oil to cooking my dinner as an example.

>4. Use calorieking.com to calculate your calories. You can also use food packaging to help you figure out calorie content. If it says one serving is 50g, then weight out 50g. If you eat 92 grams, you can do pretty simple math of calculating how many calories are in each gram and then multiplying that by the amount of grams you consumed.

tl;dr - get a food scale and a journal and write every single thing you eat down, even if it's one grape.

Holy shit mirin. How's the loose skin? Going to guess your shorts are pulled up high because it's probably an issue. iktfb.

Question for exfatties who got down to 12%BF or less. Do you have trouble maintaining a low BF?

I hover around 15% BF but rarely get under that. Coupled with lifting it doesnt bother me too much because i look alright, but i've never been able to get below 10%BF. Seems like it would be hard for me to do and maintain

>>40173324

Thanks. Yeah, I've got loose skin, but I try not to let it bother me too much.

>>40173326

I don't really understand this question... Getting down to sub-10% is no different from getting down to 15%. You just cut a little longer. There was no difference in my diet getting from 15% to 10% and below. It didn't feel any different in terms of difficulty, either. Once you're there, just eat at your maintenance calorie level if you want to stay there. I always hear people saying how difficult it is to get down past 15%, but that has not been my experience. The process of losing fat doesn't change. Calorie deficit = fat loss, whether it's down to 15% or 10%.

>>40173375
>Getting down to sub-10% is no different from getting down to 15%. You just cut a little longer.
It's way harder to maintain

>>40173362

I have loose skin, but it's not as bad as it could have been, I guess. I don't expect it to "tighten up" any more than it is now, though.

>>40173387

Explain that to me. How is eating at your TDEE suddenly more difficult at 10%? All you have to do is eat the right number of calories, just like you would do to maintain any given weight. I got down to 9% and didn't find it difficult to maintain.

>>40173418
>How is eating at your TDEE suddenly more difficult at 10%?
Your TDEE at 10% will be way lower than on 15%. Although if you're roiding, that's a different story

>>40173398
does it hang down in a little flap or some shit? if it does i would look at getting it removed but if not its totally not worth it cause it would make your stretch marks look worse when the skin gets pulled taught.

>>40173436

That's why you use the Katch-McArdle formula to calculate your TDEE. If you're basing your BMR on lean mass instead of plain old body weight, your TDEE estimate will not change significantly as you slim down. I never adjusted my calorie intake, and lost weight consistently down to 9%. Formulas that only use your weight overestimate your TDEE, thus requiring adjustment as you lose weight.

>>40173459

It's just loose on my lower stomach. Nothing too crazy. I've been considering getting it removed in the future.

>>40173436
does fat mass really cause you to burn more calories? i thought it was dead weight, so i wouldnt expect any difference unless were just talking the energy to lug that fat around all day.

>>40173375
Do you count calories?

idk, i was never that fat and i dont find losing weight horribly difficult, until the 15% mark. For me i cant really get past 15% unless im counting calories strictly, doing an EC stack, doing keto, starving all the time or some other drastic shit.

I mean i know at the end of the day its just a matter of eating less. i guess what im saying is I hover around 15% without really having to think about it. Getting to and maintaining anything lower than that is work for me.

>>40173468
youd get much better definition if you did but honestly it doesnt even look that bad, you just got to put it in perspective from what your skin was putting up with before. it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

Did you end up with any skin issues afterwards OP?

>>40173610
I live in Seattle which is fairly spendy. Contacted 5-6 places, got quotes ranging from $12k-$20k. I make $60k a year so I could afford but it's a lot and 2-3 months full recovery would mean no rock climbing / mountains / training for spring, or no more boarding if I did it now. Not worth it to me for just cosmetics. If it were either cheaper or shorter recovery I'd probably do it.

>>40171092
Not him, but how then? How did you start bulking with some fat still on and then end up like pic? Or is that after another cut?

>>40173715
20k thats insane. What about jumping the border to see if its cheaper up there? Health prices seem inflated for everything here cosmetics or not.

>>40173485

Haha, of course I count calories (but not in the way you might think). If you're losing weight without counting calories, then you're just getting lucky -- you have no way of knowing what you're actually putting into your body. You just happen to be eating below TDEE. Anyway, in my case, there's really no work involved. I eat mostly the same meals everyday, with the exception of dinner, which changes every night. Thus, I already know exactly how many calories I'm eating each day, so I don't have to keep track of anything. When it comes to dinner, I have a calorie/macro requirement, and as long as dinner meets that requirement, I end up eating the exact same number of calories that day as I did the day before, etc. I have no need to write my calories down or use a calorie-counting app or anything like that.

I guess I didn't understand your initial question... I thought you were asking if getting down to 10% was actually more fundamentally difficult than getting down to 15%. I didn't realize that you were asking if it was possible to get down to 10% without actually putting forth any effort at all. It's not hard in the sense that the same basic principles of weight loss that allow you to reach 15% will allow you to get to 10%. My diet/routine/comfort level was exactly the same at 15% as it was at 10%. In the few weeks before I hit 9%, I was still losing about 1.5 lbs per week. I wasn't doing anything crazy -- just eating at a deficit and lifting. It blows my mind that people think that the body somehow magically changes into this weight loss-resistant fat retainer once you reach 15%. With that being said, will you reach 10% without counting calories or making an effort with your diet? It's possible, but not probable. You have to be willing to put in some amount of work to get the results you want, and if you're not counting your calories in some way, it's going to be really difficult to get your diet dialed in properly.

>>40173792
>It blows my mind that people think that the body somehow magically changes into this weight loss-resistant fat retainer once you reach 15%.

isnt your body more likely to burn fat when you have more of it though? since it cant target what fat it wants to use for energy if you have more wouldnt that make it easier for your body to use it?

>>40173551

Thanks, man. It was pretty rough on me, psychologically, when I lost all my weight at first. I felt lean and strong, but it was still disappointing to look down and see this ugly saggy skin that I can't do anything about. Since then, though, I've just gotten to the point where I don't think about it that much and don't let it bother me. It's a bummer, though. A skinny guy can go on a bulk and get ripped and leave all traces of his former physique behind. An obese person who drops a bunch of weight is left with a daily reminder of how fat he was whenever he looks in the mirror. That's life, I guess. For now, I just blow it off and keep lifting.

>>40173056
freeky how much you look like my aunt on the left

>>40173861

Your body is going to use whatever it can find to fuel itself in a deficit. Fat is going to come off all over the body, and muscle may be used, as well. The less fat you have, the more likely it is that muscle will be broken down. However, 10% BF is still not a dangerous/survival-mode level for the male body. If you're keeping your protein intake high and lifting heavy in order to preserve your muscle mass, you'll still be burning mostly fat. I have DEXA scans that show me increasing my lean mass throughout the entirety of my cut, even down to 9%. Going much lower might be an issue, but the vast majority of people will not be going much lower than 10%.

Anyway, the bottom line is this: if you make it to 15% on a deficit and continue to eat at that deficit, you will reach 10% with time. Just be patient, and you'll get there. Your body can't outrun a deficit.

>>40173862
Fucking right man. I get inside my own head a lot too, but no one is ever going to put me down for the skin. Life isn't high school, but you worry sometimes. Maybe it's a reminder of being fat, but it's also evidence that you changed your shit drastically.

>>40173241
congrats on the nipple gains

is it just me or does anyone else in the process of losing weight find it really difficult to get out of the habbit of sucking your gut in? i got in the habit before i was even that fat because i have shitty posture but standing upright and not sucking in slightly always gives me a funny feeling in my abdomen.

>>40173950

True. Plus, I'm married to an amazing woman, so I don't really feel the need to impress anyone else. I'm also extremely pale and go full-on "lobster mode" when I'm out in the sun for long periods of time, so I don't spend a lot of time at pools or at the beach with my shirt off where people could even see my loose skin. Most people just see me in a t-shirt or my workout stringer, and I have gotten a lot of compliments on my physique in that attire (not trying to sound conceited there -- just explaining my situation). So, in the end, I'm alright with it. Still wish I didn't have the loose skin, but it's not really that big of a deal in the long run.

Swimming would honestly be GOAT for you at this point.

>>40174028

I don't think it's a bad thing. I remember reading somewhere that it's actually probably good for your core to suck it in. I haven't really given it much thought, but I guess I keep mine sucked in pretty much the whole time I'm awake -- it's just second nature for me. I suppose it doesn't make an appreciable difference in the appearance of my clothed physique anymore, but I don't see any reason to change, either.

>>40174028
Did this. Try to consciously stop if you have a barrel chest. My ribs are very prominent and it looks bad if I'm -sucking- in. Like an ill proportioned skelly mode. Work on your core more and you'll stop consciously sucking in.

who cares if he was juicing or not though? the muscle gain isnt even the most impressive part of that transformation to me. if it was just some skinny guy that got huge then maybe

>>40174513
Did soylent for 3 months (breakfast + lunch, normal dinner). It's not bad but they change formulations fairly often and the change they did fucked up the taste for me. You will feel full off of soylent, believe me. Sometimes I felt sick from how full I'd feel. Kind of mixed bag. I prefer doing a protein shake for lunch at work (extra nice since work supplies milk ,) but try soylent and see. Some people fuckin love it.

>>40174534

>>40174145
Take 5m a day and stand 5m against a wall. Butt against wall, place back with shoulder blades against wall (not lower back.) pull your head back and give yourself a double chin. Hold 30s x 5. Will help your posture.

I've gone down from 380 to 240 in a little over a year. I started on January 12 2016.

Feels good man. I'm just now starting to following Starting Strength after a year of doing whatever random exercises I felt like.

I barely hit 245 DL today (and ripped a callous off my left hand for it), but it's progress. My squat and bench are pitiful though. All with time.

Before the end of 2017 I hope to be less than 200 or as close to it as I can get.

I've always been chubby, but I've reached 87kg/191lbs last year, so I realised I wasn't happy and decided to change.
I still have self-image issues, but at least I'm feeling healthier now. Today I weigh 67kg/147lbs and feel like I can go further. My current goal is 55kg/121lbs, which would be ideal for my height, 1,57cm/5'1.

I was 380lbs, I'm now 240. Still k my doing cardio. I jog at the park. I had neighbors come up and ask me how I did it. Told em diet and cardio. I now got 3 other guys that jog with me. Whenever one does show up we go beat on his door till they come out. Having a support group is very helpful

>>40175890
Killer Job for real. Black chicks are always fat and the ones with good bodies have dudes of all races and creeds drooling. 25 pounds and you'll be there. Keep it up.

Down 20 pounds in 4 months. From 226 to 206. Woke up one day and decided to take action before I hit 230. Took a membership to the gym. Loss a little this way. Decided to work on my diet as well 2 months or so later, and that's when the real results started to show up. Exercice will teach you discipline, but then you need to apply your newly acquired discipline to your diet if you really want to achieve changes. Don't give up, no one will do the work for you. You can lie to anyone but yourself.

The big deal is he claims he did it natty in a year, which just seems really really fast. It can be discouraging to other ex-fatties who are halfway through a year and not making the same progress.

i wouldnt be that shocked if he did it without, but while juice helps you recover faster/go longer/get larger it doesnt help for diet and cardio which is how youre going to lose most of that fat in the first place

not to mention with all that fat its not unreasonable for him to build muscle quick, not like he needs to spend time bulking

>>40176187
congratulations my man but that hoodle isnt really thin people wear

>>40176222
True. If I remember correctly he had a pretty heavy calorie deficit and was doing an EC Stack, which if you can do it, go for it, but I would never recommend EC to anyone.

>>40176237
>but I would never recommend EC to anyone
What, why. I've been trough 6 DNP cycles and I'm doing ECA for about 2 month now. ECA so far been only good for me with no sides whatsoever

>>40176237
i dont think many fatties really look at that and think its going to be easy. he might have even ended up with less loose skin if he took it slower. i def dont want my weight loss to be hinging on some drug combo. i feel like thats just asking for a relapse when you eventually get to your target.

>>40176253
I tried it for about a month, psychological effects were fucking awful. I got anxious and paranoid as shit, as well as feeling heart palpitations. Didn't even realize it until a friend mentioned it to me that I was acting really weird and I looked up the side effects.

On top of that it can be addictive(because it's literally just a lite variation of Speed) and only burns like 100-150 calories extra.

>>40176281
did you increase your dosage slowly?

were you taking full doses 3 times a day?

>>40176281
>psychological effects were fucking awful
What was your dosage? I take it only once as a pre-workout and sometimes after a breakfast as an appetite suppressant

>>40176297
>>40176298
It was over a year ago, I honestly don't really remember.

I know I didn't start at a full dosage, I bought a pill cutter specifically for that stack. I was following the guide on hot'n'fit before it got taken down.

>ECA stack

guys it's not worth it, artificially elevating your blood pressure and heart rate for extended periods is bad for your eyes, heart, kidneys, and brain

>DNP

Holy shit please do not do this seriously if your that desperate you should consider liposuction before this

>>40176417
yeah, its just appetite, placebo works, as does conditioning your brain to enjoy the feeling of hunger by linking it to burning calories.

>>40176417
That ECA advice also serves for caffeine based stimulants?

>>40176489
not at all, caffeine suppresses appetite and gives you an energy boost, doesn't increase heartrate.

>>40176489

Yes, at higher doses

Google BMI, it will tell you. It doesn't work if you have extreme muscle mass but I take it you don't.

Also that first week is all water/glycogen weight, it always drops a shit ton when you start restricting calories. It should be normal now, you can lose your rate of 1 or 2 pounds a week. If you eat a shit ton for whatever reason, like Thanksgiving weekend, you'll gain a lot of that temporary water weight back and it will need another week to go back down to your "real" weight.

>>40177119

Damn, pretty decent. I would suggest you keep the curls from the before pic. Looks great on you IMHO.

>>40177190
Actually I was thinking about trying this corset stuff when I reach the weight I want, so I can get an hourglass shape. Not sure if it'll give me the same result you're wondering, but that's the best I thought so far.

This x100. I lost 70 pounds and don't even know who I am any more. People used to laugh at my jokes, now they don't. I used to party a lot, now no one invites and I don't really wanna go anyways. Kind of wish I had stayed fat. Was a much simpler life.

Sounds to me like you're trying to be one of those Anime maids. You do what you want but consider that corsets artificially warps your body and compresses your internal organs closer together, similar to how Chinese girls would wear extremely constricting shoes to deform their feet. That may or may not be what you want in the long term regarding health. Especially when you seem like you're trying to get fit.

To be honest, you would easily be an 8/10 or even a 9 if you were to develop more muscle and less body fat, and I think it would be a real waste to deform your natural contours for something that may even look artificial and disfiguring. Especially for black women since it's rare to see ones in shape.

Here's some examples of some fit black women:

recovering fatasfatass here, started at 285 in june and down to 230 now, but I don't feel like there's been any tangible difference in the past few months but that might just be body dysmorphia. Any /fit/izens want to judge me?

>>40168441
I've had a "food addiction". I don't know if you can say its an addiction, thats sort of puts it in the same league as drug addictions etc, which is not accurate. Ultimately your addiction does not need any magic trick or solution, other than you exercising some willpower. Be a man, etc. I know you've heard that before, and you will keep hearing it until you stop being a fat fuck because that is the answer.

>>40177486
From what I see, most of the difference is in your face with it not having so much of a double chin. While 20 lb is a lot of weight, the difference isn't going to look like much on a person that needs to lose a good bit more. As you lose more, it will become even more apparent, so keep on working and you'll see it more and more.

The existential feeling is the worst for me. Cutting now, went from 280 to 212 so far, lifting heavy the whole time (definitely added muscle, probably newbie gains). Already had a good amount of muscle, keto, look pretty built now.

Now I look in the mirror and see this body, but inside I still feel like a fat piece of shit. This is the problem I have now, which seems good. Im sociable, but inside I just feel worthless.

Man these threads are really good for motivation. I am still at the beginning stages of getting started and recognising that instead of dwelling in misery at how shit my life is I should actually do something about it - including getting myself in shape. Not too far gone yet (6'2, about 200 lbs) so time to turn it around.

Finding diet pretty easy, I like cooking so it is easy enough to eat fairly clean. My question is, how long does it take for the gym to become enjoyable? I always feel knackered afterwards and really hate it when I am there, but about an hour after I feel good so sticking with it.

Cutting way down on alcohol is pretty hard too. Anyway, thanks to everyone in this thread. Good to see it can be done as it all seems to fucking far away now.

Tfw went fron 203 to 187 lbs.

Never gonna make it

>>40170025
Woah. You didn't have to deal with loose skin?

>>40168441
Literally and unironically don't buy junk food. How the fuck are you going to eat it if it isn't in the fridge or pantry? The answer is you aren't. Every single time you go shopping for groceries just avoid the shit food aisles and you'll be golden for the next couple of days. The biggest issues for fatties trying to lose weight is their frankly ridiculous lack of self control. Remove the object of their desires from the equation and it doesn't matter if they have a total breakdown because they can't eat it anyway. Combine that with light exercise and the weight will fall off.
