/fat/ Fatty General

>>40448789

I started tracking my calories really well for the last couple of days now. I started on Feb. 5th last night was the first time I went out drinking in awhile and had 8 beers still didn't blow the whole day apart and only went 250 calories over. Just did some cardio today and ate 100 calories less and balanced out the day. I've never had a night out drinking and still managed to do damage control on my eating.

TL;DR

>Finally have developed self control to stop impulsive binge eating when drunk or sober :)

>6'2", 34 years old, 275 lbs
>Lost over 50 lbs like five years ago, but fell off the wagon hard due to transferring to a new city
>Time to get back on track

Just invested in a nice weight cage for my garage, and looking to start lifting again while I lose weight. Only problem is that my right knee hurts while doing squats.

I've done a ton of squats in the past (used to lift quite regularly) but I've never had this problem before. The only thing I can think of is that due to my weight gain, my legs are too fat to comfortably squat as far down as I used to.

Maybe I'm going too low? Anyone else ever have this problem?

I lost all motivation and stopped working out after a vacation in October due to lack of motivation from a months long plateau. Gained a lot of weight back and I'm saying no more. Excited to be getting back into the routine and finally coming back here. We're all going to make it /fat/tizens

things aren't going so well, lads

>>40449504
Dude you can cuck out and say that but honestly you just got to get back on the train man. After three days when you stop craving food out of boredom it'll be so much easier you can do it.

What does it mean if I've not lost weight in 2 weeks but haven't put on any? I've been meticulously weighing food and counting calories. I started lifting and trying to lose weight 2 weeks ago but I'm not sure if it's working. Is it just muscle development making my weight stay the same? Cutting at 1700 daily, 5'7 200

>>40449529
Have you recalculated your TDEE; are you actually being honest with your counting? have you been over estimating calories burned from cardio?

Check these things and then see how it's going also I think (prepare for broscience) I think your body can adjust for calories in and out and depending on your P-ratio and hormone levels won't let it fall off.

>>40449529
Drop cals to 1500, drink water, do more cardio, don't quit.

>>40449529
Yes, it could very well be muscle gain.

look there's something you have to understand. You will not lose weight consistently. The body isn't a perfect machine. We barely understand the fucking thing.
One thing we don't understand is why the body simply STOPS losing weight when at a deficit for weeks then all of a sudden drops everything overnight.
It happens but we have no cocept as to why. Lots of good guesses no actual answers.
So my advice is to just hold your head down and..keep going.
Stop using the scale to measure everything and start looking at your before and after pictures and the tale of the tailor's tape.

You are going to make it bro

>>40449571
My autism shines when I read stuff similar to this. I feel like the body has this hormonal gas tank and it holds on to fat until it depleted and then when it refills all the fat drops and you start the cycle again.

>>40449529
It's only been 2 weeks bro. It will take years to get /fit/. You can make it, but only if you never stop.

>>40449602
Thanks dude, feels good I have a whole different outlook on weight loss and fitness now.

>>40449435
>Gained a lot of weight back and I'm saying no more.

Nice lack of excuses anon :^)

>>40449504
What happened?

today is the 1 year mark since i started losing weight, i started at 343lbs in feb 20th 2017, after a lot of ups and downs i've reached 270lbs, and while i probably could've lost more, i like to think that this year is looking a lot better than 2016, i went from being a hamplanet NEET who played wow all day, to a much smaller planetoid who went back to college 2 months ago, it's the first time i'm actually happy in a while, no amount of leveling or loot can match this feeling, here's to 2017 fat bros, lets get slim so we can use our loose skin to glide across the rooftops and fight crime together

New to /fit/ and fitness in general. I'm 5'11 and about 175lbs. My arms and legs are skinny but im fat as fuck? What do i need to start doing to slim down?

>>40449924
Read the sticky and then come back

>>40449922
This one hits home anon good for you. The pounds on the scale are way more rewarding then your guild dinging you when your 19th toon his max level. Good for you!

>>40449922
Congrats bro I am really happy for you! Keep it up

just finished off a numero uno pizza by myself. apparently it was 4000 calories.

oh well.

>>40450086
Go on a run fatty

>>40449554
>>40449558
Thanks guys I'll try 1500 for the next 2 weeks and see how that goes. I'm certain I'm not overestimating calories but the lower deficit should counter any bad counting on my part.

>>40449571
>>40449621
I don't plan on quitting but this was very inspirational. I understand it's a short amount of time but I don't wanna get he numbers wrong and waste a month only to figure out I was eating too much. But what you say makes sense; it took years for me to fuck up my body so it's only acceptable it will take years to fix it.

>>40450086
:( you're not going to make it you need to cut pizza it's too addictive and calorie dense.

So I keel redoing my tdee because I dunno, insecurity. I work out 6 times a week, 40 minutes, as hard as my cutting allows, and I work on my fert around 5 - 6 hours a day, Im 149lb (68kg) and around 5'11 (180cm).

My tdee says my maintenance is 2400 and I should cut at 1900 and that just doesnt seem right. I think its just way too much so Im cutting at 1700. Did I fucked up somewhere?

Goddamn it I mean "keep" and "feet"

who /cheatmeal/ here

just made a gigantic pot of barbecue chicken mac & cheese

still right around my daily calorie limit but damn that was a shitload of fat

when you guys count calories, do you subtract calories burned via exercise? or do you just consider those calories burned extra loss?

former fat kid who grew out of it. now I just have a stubborn beer belly I have to shed to get a flat stomach.

>>40450495
Nope, it's already accounted for in TDEE.

The one thing MFP majorly f^cks up on is that dumb subtraction for exercise "feature".

>exercise pretty much all seven days last week
>no break at all and start running again today
>calves cramp up like a motherfucker but I get through the exercise

Should I take a day off? I feel like I might be overdoing it.

>>40450561
7 days a week is not enough, 8 days c'mon man

>>40450400
No cheat meals are basically food rewards for dieting, it doesn't make sense.

I don't reward myself with food treats, I'm not a doggo.

>>40450561
Take one day off per week and the occasional holiday day.

>>40450571
Counting today I did do 8 days.

Back from reading the sticky. What I got from it is to: Lift weights, cardio, and eat healthier. But I don't know if I should focus more on cardio or weightlifting. My goal isn't to get HUGE arms or anything. Just to have a nice proportional body.

ECA STACK and PMSF DIET

only way to cut retards.

have you been adjusting your caloric intake? I mean you lost weight and require less but if you still have the same calorie cap as your old TDEE - 500 then that could be why

>>40451121
No I just stopped caring for a few weeks

Just started doing free weight exercises at home. I've dropped from 272lbs - 261lbs from diet alone this last 5 weeks. Time to see if I can speed this up.

Hello! How have you been, friendos?

Some of you may recognize me because I also posted in the last thread. I am very thankfull for all the positive feedback that you gave me yesterday, and the advice I recieved has been used, here is what has happened so far:

>Increased the number of squats I do, the past week I was doing 10 each day, today I did 4 sets of 15 each! My legs hurt like crazy, but it feels very good

>Today I ate a sandwich of ham and tomato for a snack (I have no more bread, and have no intentions of buying more) but didn't eat any rice! For lunch I had a little bit of lamb with smoked veggies

>Installed MyFitnessPal, and started using it (1500 cal/day is my objective)

>I drink about a liter of water a day since like 2 years ago, so that isn't a problem

If you keep making this threads I will keep coming to post updates! Anything that helps, observations, tips, critiques, or anything else is accepted!

>>40451375
reduce the reps to 8

>>40451437
if you want to do more squats add a 5th set

You're fine if you don't care about gains/muscle that much.

Cravings you gotta get used to the feeling of half-full instead of half-empty and make it your norm. Don't be bloated all the time simple as that.

Tried to do better today after eating like shit during the weekend. Had some greek yogurt for breakfast, didn't bring my lunch so fucked up and had chik fil a nuggets for lunch from the caf. Further fucked up after getting home from work and being so hungry I ate half of a P.F Changs frozen stir fry and some left over bread pudding in the fridge.

I fucked up again, gonna wake up early and prepare my lunch so I'm not tempted. Tomorrow's even rougher since I'm at school from 9 a.m to 9 p.m. Still I have to buckle down unless I want to stay in this perpetual cycle of fucking up and never making progress.

>>40448789
I'll ask here since reddit mods are being faggots.

Basically what am I missing in my diet daily?

I eat the following:

Breakfast: Oatmeal, Pancake (1 egg, flour, 200ml milk, drop of olive oil, pinch of salt)

Lunch: 2x Chicken Wraps (Chicken, BBQ sauce, salsa, wrap)

Dinner: Chicken, peas, sweetcorn, some chips and ketchup

>>40451530
Thanks! I will start lifting once I drop to 160-165lbs. Would you recommend a full body workout or 1 muscle group per workout?

>>40451563
do a weeks worth of meal prep on sunday or saturday, makes shit easy.

>>40451579
looks alright, maybe a little low on fiber

>>40451478
>also, any tips how to deal with cravings? specially at night i crave something salty like chips.

Don't have stuff in the house. A six pack of crisps might as well be a giant bag. I can't bring myself to purchase 1 packet for £0.60 when you can get 6 packets for £1 too.

I find it ridiculously hard to pass over special offers or reduced food for freezing in supermarket the aisles. I just stop going to supermarket as much as possible now. Things I really need I'll buy in large quantities, such as flavoured low calorie dilute juice and low calorie hot chocolate. It seems a bit stupid to return to the supermarket every time you run out of something, particularly when they packets are designed to last 7-14 days to ensure you return.

I mostly buy chicken breast 5kg at a time or large amounts of pork shoulder/loin and fill my freezer compartment with pre bagged portions so I can't fit in frozen pizzas etc... if I wanted to. Then vegetables and fruit is bought at the greengrocer except for a few items where supermarkets are cheaper, which is basically sweet potatoes, mushrooms, large bags of small onions, sriracha.

Whenever I eat I remove another frozen packet for my next meal. And if I'm craving crisps I'll just eat my next healthy meal. I realise eating an extra meal every 2-3 days is far better than snacking and there is probably a reason you're craving it. You might have walked 8-10 miles without noticing.

>>40451623
Any way to improve it? Also is the carb, protein, fat ratio good? I don't want to end up with heart problems and shit, I want to be healthy

>>40451465
if not fit, youre fat.

so if youre not fit, then welcome!

How do i stay motivated? I tried countless times but after a while i just don't care and enjoy the moment, eat like an animal.

Most i could go was 1 month, lost 5 kgs (from 107 to 103). Mostly can't even get past the day. Like now i say i will do that tomorrow, start in the morning and in evening i just go for fucking sausages and ketchup and ice tea.

>>40451661
>Things I really need
>>40451661

Dude, water.

>>40451711
Also gained 3 kilos last month. I am 113 kg now and my skin is stretching again. Last year i got a ton of these first time after like 5 years and i fucking hate them. But then a while later i don't care about them too.

>>40451666
you didnt provide enough information to tell carb/protein/fat ratio or calorie amount.
more veggies never hurts.

>>40451711
its not about motivation, its about discipline.
doesnt matter if you dont want to do it. just get it done. set a time that you are going to work out and do that every time.
dont keep crap in the house and you wont have to worry about binging

If you're losing weight only drink water, at most a cup of milk or juice a day. Also water does NOT do anything for food cravings despite filling you up, your body isn't stupid you'll pissed that gallon out within 4 hours.

>>40451711
We can't really teach you motivation. And there's something in the brain that does that whole "ill restart tomorrow/next week/next month". It's an awful mindset, everyone does it, you gotta learn to overpower it and just fucking go do it.

Learn to self-discipline. It's obviously going to suck. I'm addicted to soda and eventually I had to physically stop myself from filling my cup up at work with more Coke. Now I just drink water and unsweet green tea (if im needing a bit of sugar, then i drink some iced tea)

It's going to suck for awhile but you'll start feeling proud of yourself, and it's a great feeling.

I want to have an organized life but i just don't care when i am supposed to get the works done.

jesus christ. this is good advice. thanks dude

Down to 198 from 240 last fall. Hopped off keto last week to see if it was agitating my UC, but I'm pretty sure it's not, so back to the grind tomorrow. Need to hit below 195 by the time Zelda releases or else I won't let myself play it until I do.

I drank a litre of chocolate milk a day for 3 years, it really is pretty dank

Of course now I have cow-tier manboobs and estrogen out the wazoo but it was for a good cause

>>40449406
for me it's my left. I finally figured if I can't squat I'll never be able to hit my goals. so just push through the pain. really sharp pain and snapping sounds and sometimes it feels like something snaps behind my knee. but as long as I do squats every other day or every 3 days it actually feels a lot better. unlike my shoulder. which just gets worse with use. I guess give it a try.

>>40450161
you've got the right attitude man. it's possible that you are getting newbie gains and building muscle. don't stop using that scale though. count your calories. you may have a really low metabolism. which ends up being a blessing if you stick with it. a lot of body builders get limited by how much they can physically eat. muscle is always metabolically active unlike fat. so as you gain muscle it will make it easier to gain muscle and lose fat. I wouldn't drop to 1500 calories yet. try drinking at least a gallon of water a day and limiting your sodium intake. I have a feeling that you are gonna make it bro. just a little at a time.

>6'0, 25, 225

I used to be almost 300 but I'm down to 225. I was around 210 or 215 before Christmas, but I haven't been exercising or eating well for a few months

I really want to be fit, but I'm scared of going to the gym. I've always had low testosterone and being fat doesn't help that, so I fell for the tranny meme. I was on hormones for a while, and now I've quit, but I have gyno.

I try to work out on my own or walk/run from time to time, but I'm scared of going to the gym or getting back into sports because in a tshirt my perky tits are extremely noticeable

I feel like if I didn't have these things as a constant threat of humiliation, I'd be working out way more regularly and maybe even be in shape by now.

My goal is to get down to 200 and hopefully my gyno will be less apparent and I can feel more confident going to the gym, but I'm scared they're never going to go away.

So I have a quick question and it seems like this thread has the right people in it to answer.

I recently went from 190 to 235 lbs (at 6'5" mind you, so pretty fat but not behemoth) due to a club rugby program at my university. I recently had to quit due to a rupture in my lungs, and I would like to cut back to about 205 or 200 or so. I have already cut beer out of my diet every day except Saturday which has made a big difference, but I am still addicted to sweedish fish and the fatty meats I started eating when I was on their lifting plan. Any advice other than to cut those out slowly? And it would be appreciated if someone could give me good fat loss workout tips that don't involve too much cardio due to my lungs, I really haven't found much help google searching it. I have "progress" pics from 190 to my current weight I could post but I don't think those are really appropriate here?

>>40450333
are you losing weight? you may need to adjust your activity level. and you need to eat enough to feed your muscle. are you doing cardio or weights?

>>40451873
>>40451813
milk is a curse and a blessing

very inspirational! I've been trying for years but now I'm pretty mature and serious about it. I'll try drinking more water, I do about 2L a day and I pee A LOT. As long as I keep working out and eating right it will be better than the shit I used to do. thanks again man.

>>40453113
You can do calorie restriction starting with what you have.

>>40452942
That's too much if you are trying to lose weight.

For all you fatties out there, take it from another fatty and stay off the scale. Measuring weight as a sign of progress is way too inconsistent and may discourage you. Only measure yourself weekly or even monthly. Pictures are a way better indicator and motivator.

>>40453236
Once i am done with unhealty shit i will start doing calorie count.

I have two questions for all anons here.

I will go for 1500 calorie keto diet, should i take multivitamin? If i should, which one do you recommend?

Does light drinks (coca cola zero etc) mess up with keto? I know i shouldn't drink any but i need to, at least in the beginning.

>>40453661
You don't, you work with it. You'll be hungry, accept it, it's the price you pay. Research weight loss diets and see which one you think you can stick to best and just do it. It's hard, hunger hurts, it takes a long time. But it's so worth it.
Do you want food more or to have the body you really want. You have to choose.

>>40453661
drink more water
or eat healthier stuff more frequently through the day. like pair the water with a fruit, like an apple or banana. do cardio a lot also. substitute beef with chicken or fish. stuff like this.

I'm about 6'4" and last time I weighed myself ( maybe 4-5 months ago) I was hovering around the 280-300 pound mark. I used to be in great shape but fell into a pretty bad depression after some shitty breakups and just stopped taking care of myself.

I'm trying to get back into shape now and want to invest in some workout equipment.
Are home gyms a meme/waste of money? I've never liked the bowflex style home gyms, but I really like shit like pic related and feel like I'd be more likely to use it than free weights, but they're all like $3-400

Any recommendations on affordable starter home gyms, or should I just stop being a faggot and buy free weights and force myself to like them?

Counting kj has been my main help, been trying to stick to 6000kj (~15kcal i think), also been replacing food with more water, caffine, sertraline, modafinil and nicotin
I havent been working out, but have been doing a fair bit of physical labour for my job

>>40451579
so many carbs, eat more protein and veggies.

at least be taking a multivitamin.

>>40453697
Keep going, that's a good loss. Not so sure about the chemicals, are you strict with your counting? Losing about 2 pounds per week is good. You could start a workout program and start to see better body composition now.

>>40453661
Don't be afraid of the hunger, anon, it's not the end of the world. You learn to just put up with it. If you've never stuck to a diet before long enough to lose a good amount of weight, you might think being hungry feels scary at first. You CAN get over that and learn to tolerate it.

I'm 5'3" and 123 lbs (grill) should I cut more or start to get more muscle?

It's been about 6 months so far. I probably didnt need to list sertraline, its just my antidepressant, modafinil is good, has really helped me with motivation in general as well as suppressing appertite, i would recommend trying it, caffine and nicotine are just coffee and darts
Not really that strict, its more just knowing how much is going in, been drinking like a litre of water before meals
I'm 115 right now, i was going to try to cut to 100 before i started getting serious. Also waiting for my parents to finish moving everything into this room so i can do stuff in a place that is <35 degrees c

I lost 3 lbs but a fraudulent company drained my bank account
i can't catch a break

I've never been overweight but thanks to /fit/ and lifting I've managed to stop binging and purging, so thanks guys.

It's midnight so no. they're claiming i bought gay porn and im worried that because my bank didn't put a hold on the charges they wont help much when i call in the morning

I'm over it I am at the heaviest I have been. I was 245lbs 6ft. 20 pounds down, went on valentine date... She wasn't down, looking for new job after college getting my shit together, shes a year older hot, 8 at best, wakes up to work out at 4:50. She hasn't spoken to me since saying " it was very nice of you, thank you" can't reply or I will be too much of a beta cuck.

Been waking up at 7 AM to lift and 30 min of cardio, going to make it 45 mins. Its been good motivation since last weeks cuckoldry.

might be a faggot but I will try hitting her up in a month after i keep on the gain train.

doing no fap has really helped me, its been 2 weeks. I have clarity and feel more base in my voice, I haven't been more than 2 weeks with out jacking it. Monk mode is hard. But i know what i want. Do that girl in her butt, gain a higher smv and use that to go into my career goals as well

If you want to lose weight just eat less and do a little exercise - running mainly because it will help your joints with your weight. No reason to buy a home gym at your weight, even then a gym membership would be better as they can offer trainers.

>>40451030
Thats a good feel bro

>>40454025
>running mainly because it will help your joints with your weight.
I've always been hella self conscious about running so I can't keep myself motivated to do it because it makes me anxious as fuck

>even then a gym membership would be better as they can offer trainers.
Live in the middle of nowhere in a super rural area, otherwise I absolutely would.
Only reason I'm considering a home gym is because I feel like it would make it easier for me to just do the reps without wondering if I'm doing the right things the right way. I've used a buddies before and I really liked it, I dunno, its just simpler and feels like it would be easier to stick with because it can only do so many in the first place so I'd just do a few sets of each.

>>40451134
You can't just "stop caring"

Keep going.

Was a wrestler for three years. Felt great and was in pretty great shape. My last season was two years ago. Ever since I went through a painkiller phase, stoner phase, xanex phase, lost shit ton of muscle mass and aimed significant amount of weight. Recently am in the lab of restructuring myself. Shit ain't easy.
Used to be 145 lb and 5'8" at 11% body fat. I'm now 162 and much less muscle mass.
Here's to a road of redemption. Lift big and eat big /fit/.

Are all home gyms relatively useless compared to free weights or just the bowflex ones?

I've used some bowflex machines before and really didn't like them, but the ones that just have a bunch of weights in the back that you lift via various methods seemed really nice. Pic related is the kind of thing I'm thinking of buying, but if they're useless I might just buy some free weights and try to get into using them instead. I just think the simplicity of a little home gym like this would make it a lot easier for me to get started and really keep at it

>Dude, water.

Tap water is disgusting where I live, 700ppm.

I find paying for bottled water a problem... It means frequent trips to the supermarket... Plus the amount of waste the plastic bottles creates is a waste. Plus water is water. I have an RO water filter to install, but I know as soon as I install it is the day my landlord decides it's time for me to move. Plus it strips minerals etc...

If I buy 2-5 calorie per diluted lemon drink to make stomaching that taste a little more bearable I'll do that. And if that means buying 5litres it a time 3-4 times a year that's fine. If it saves me carrying 2 gallon of water home too. It's only ever dilute lemon or large amounts of branded blackcurrent light if it's on offer. If I drink a 50 calorie 'options' hot chocolate in the evening, or even 3 of them rather than munching on 2 oreos that turns into half a packet because I have to make 2 trips to the supermarket to buy water because the water out the tap tastes odd I'll put down fake hot chocolate and dilute juice in the need column along with fresh coffee I drink black.

I don't have a problem with water.

But Jesus look at a supermarket. It's just boxes of boxes of advertising. It makes me sick thinking about it. I can step in one and spend £5-10 on absolute shit, just food colouring and sugar in a packet. Every time I walk past one it's a blessing and if that means buying washing powder and toiletries at a home store rather than a supermarket that is what I do.

>>40454174
>You're 300 pounds just eat less and do regular exercise like jogging and squats.
I honestly don't eat much anyway, part of the depression I guess, I almost never eat properly and I'm trying to change that. I've pretty much just been living off of popcorn the last few months though, only other shit I've eaten is a bit of toast and two frozen pizzas. I keep trying to buy healthy food but I always end up going 2-3 days without eating and by the time I get around to trying to make something its all gone bad. Thats something I just need to work on myself I guess though, I feel like the biggest reason I'm gaining weight is because I never get out of bed and burn almost no calories rather than eating too much

I've been trying to do just basic routines of squats and shit every few days, but I figured investing in some kind of weights and starting to lift would help me get more into it, I dunno, I guess I could just stick with the squats and shit if home gyms are really just a waste of money.

I'm actually not sure how much I weight these days, hopefully not still 280 but I wouldn't be surprised. I haven't had a scale for at least half a year though so I have no idea

>>40454219

You burn a lot of calories even just lying in bed.

You're not counting something or drastically underestimating the calories of the food you do consume.

It's like those fat girls who say "I just have a slow metabolism, I barely ever eat!" and have a garbage can full of candy wrappers.

Count every single calorie you take in, at your weight you can consume like 2500-3000 calories and still lose weight while being completely sedentary.

I know this because I was in the same spot. Just download myfitnesspal and track EVERYTHING you take into your body aside from water or diet soft drinks (which you shouldn't drink anyway but it's better than the regular stuff)

>>40454219

Fucking liar.
> I keep trying to buy healthy food but I always end up going 2-3 days without eating and by the time I get around to trying to make something its all gone bad.

It's not about eating healthy food it's about consuming less calories, anyone could eat all the chips, cakes and cookies and lose weight so long as they don't go over their basic metabolic rate. You're simply eating too much even if you are inactive. Exercise does not burn as much calories as you imagine. The point of exercise is to bolster muscle - which you really shouldn't care so much at your weight.

Eating too much is the problem 99% of the time.
Also punching in a few numbers here.
http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/#result

At 300 pounds 6'4, assuming you're 20 to 30 years old you should have a BMR of approximately 2700. Meaning you burn 2700 calories by doing literally nothing a day just to support your mass.

>>40454263

then you wouldn't be 300 pounds and you'd have scurvy

this is either b8 or you're lying to yourself

>>40454276
>then you wouldn't be 300 pounds
Honestly I don't know how much I weigh right now, thats just what I was at last time I visited my parents and used their scale, that was about 6 months ago though, I don't have a scale of my own.

>and you'd have scurvy
I'm honestly surprised I'm not sick, I eat incredibly poorly

When I do buy food I tend to just get a few types of lunch meat, some iceburg lettuce, cheese, mayo and eggs and that tends to be what I'll eat 90% of the time unless I'm really bummed out, in which case I'll either not eat at all for a day or two or I'll just eat a few bags of popcorn

I think I put on a lot of this weight while I was living at my parents for a year or so and they always had shitty boxed food around, but I'm kinda poor and don't go out to the grocery store often, so there usually isn't much food in my house to snack on like that.

>>40454317
how many cups of coffee do you have in a day, and how much cream/sugar do you use in each one

>>40454317
step 1 weigh yourself and dont post anymore until you do

>>40454317

A bag of popcorn is probably like 500 calories

Just because the food isn't filling doesn't mean it's not calorie dense.

>>40454324
I drink a lot of coffee
No sugar and I try not to put much cream in each cup because I can't really afford to buy shit loads of it, but I do drink around 2-5 pots of coffee a day

smellslikebullshit.png

>>40454327
Shit, really? I cut out junk food maybe 7-8 months ago and just started buying popcorn instead of chips because I assumed it wasn't that bad when it comes to calories and would kind of take care of that craving for a snack.
I guess I'll try to cut out popcorn as well, its probably for the best that I start snacking on shit like baby carrots instead anyway, I could use some proper food

If you air-pop kernels in a popcorn maker its pretty healthy.

Well shit, yeah I'll cut that out then, I don't know why I just assumed it wasn't that bad for you

I've been going through about a box - a box and a half of these each month. Which was pretty fucking stupid of me since now that I look at the nutritional value there is 440 calories in each bag and some days I'll go through 4-5 bags instead of eating any actual meals

Hey guys I've went from 240 to 160 at 5'6. I've been told I need to lose another 20 pounds but I'm already eating at a low calorie diet and working out a shit ton. My weight won't move from 160 unless I don't eat lol any tips?

>>40454507
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/fat_loss_training_wars.htm

Cardio is shit.
Don't go everyday of you don't want to but give yourself rest days.
Google stronglift 5x5 and follow that.

You can use rest days for light exercises or cardio such as targeting weaker muscle groups like grip.

>>40454509
Eat less, lower weight and thus lower BMR. That or you can focus on stabilising your weight and working out to reduce body fat with a good protein diet.

I can live with 1500, but could go for 2000 if it is really too low.

What is wrong with keto? Be serious please

>>40455480
calculate your tdee and take -500kcal or -25% off of that. So lets say you reach your weight goal with keto, what now? You never learned how to eat properly if you go back to your old eating behaviours you will gain the weight back in a couple months.

Not a clickbait article. Shows correlation between intake of diet soda and obesity. Granted, correlation does not equal causation and the authors acknowledge more study needs to be conducted. It also noted that among participating individuals at a healthy weight, consumption of diet soda was associated with lower calorie intake from solid foods.

Note also the low sample size in the study you quoted and the fact that the study only tested five males who were at a normal weight.

I have virtually zero scientific knowledge, but again, it seems like there's no smoking gun demonstrating a causal relationship between obesity and diet beverage increase, but why fuck around when water is a clearly superior alternative, both in terms of cost and overall health?

Glycogen depletes from your muscles, while at the same time your body takes on water because it's not sure why the FUCK you're starving and doesn't know what it's going to do with the fat cells that you're depleting of energy.

You do look worse.

But it'll be worth it.

i read something once

fat -> builtfat -> flabby -> flabbylean -> lean -> shredded

you look shit when passing through the flabby stages, cause you don't have fat padding your muscles out and you're all over the place. it's why so many builtfat guys think they look great (and probably do look a little better in a t shirt)

you just gotta push through the flabby stages

>>40455389
Keep your proper form and only do as many reps as you can with correct form. That's your true rep count. You'll be sore probably 2 weeks or so with the soreness diminishing as the time goes by.

Cut back on reps, work through the soreness. This is why I did not give you a bunch more exercises, get these under your belt first and get to the point where you aren't sore anymore and you are adding reps and then sets.

Even if you only do a little, keep on going every day with one day off per week.
You can do some stretches and use Advil for the muscle soreness.

>>40456093
You are doing great, you are being smart by chosing to lose the weight slowly. You will be able to keep the weight off instead of yoyoing and will get less saggy skin. Did you lose 5kg since January? I suggest combining HIIT with weightlifting, it helped to shape my body, gain some muscle (lifting) but also lose a bunch of body fat (HIIT). I lost around 30kg.

Hi, I've been dieting for about a month and started going gym last week. However, how it works is that the gym instructor set me a workout. It goes as follows

Full Body running machine (which I can't remember the name of) 6mins
Barbell shrugs @6kgx2 10x3
Bench press @30kg 10x3
Shoulder press @7.5 kg 10x3
Leg press @95kg 10x3
Abdominal @35kg 12x3
Pull down @ 18kgx2 10x3
Thromboid pull @ 15kgx2 10x3

Is this good? I'm aware some of the names may not make sense since I can't remember the names and don't have the timetable in front of me.

>>40455171
Diet soda has crap in it, crap you put in your body like aspartam. It is 200 times sweeter than sugar.

Same for crap they put in whey shakes with sweet tastes, myprotein shakes have a substance in them called sucralose which is 500 to 600 times sweeter than sugar. This is the shit you put in your body when you drink diet coke.

I've increased my walking from half a mile a day to a full mile!!! I'm still eating good too. All homemade stuff like skinless chicken. Cutting out pop to once a week. Drinking mainly water and tea using a dietary supplement for taste. Not pure sugar!!!

I took pics of myself for my friends and sent what I looked like a month ago and they were shocked!!

It felt amazing and really motivated me. My fatty double chin is nearly gone and my stomach is starting to thin and my moobs are going away!

I can see my dick when I pee!

>>40456261
Looks good to me but why no squats deadlifts or lunges

>>40456269
Not sure, he didn't set it. Plus my back is fucked from being sedentary software engineer for years.

>>40456268
Well done man. But keep going, increase mileage as time goes on, cut out pop entirely. I know you can do it.

We're all gonna make it.

>>40456327
Thanks it's exciting getting the attention and support. Real motivator. Idk how much I weigh now but I can see that my body is changing

I have been swimming for about a month, lifting for roughly a week, and have been dieting since I started swimming (cutting roughly 1500 calories from TDEE).

I can't tell if I look different, certainly feel better though.

>>40450585
You're still an animal tho, so it's not weird for some people to need 'rewards' as in treats.

what the FUCK are you doing telling people to eat like this? it's no goddamn wonder you're all fat if you eat that shit

chicken marinated in oil and sugar - 200
lettuce - 0 (and zero fucking nutritional value too!)
fucking cheese - 150
meme tier tortilla with more calories than a normal one - 210
RANCH FUCKING DRESSING -150

So now you're eating a 700+ calorie wrap where at least 50% of the macros are from FAT and you're calling it healthy? Fuck you!

Actually healthy wrap:
Regular tortilla - 170
Can/pouch of tuna - 90
Favorite flavor of hummus (2tbs) - 70
1 cup baby spinach - 10
Total: 340

You could have TWO of those wraps and have it be less calories than ONE of yours! You fat fucks need to LEARN HOW TO EAT!

How to tell if you're losing fat or water weight?

Just got my lab results back. Hypothyroidism, Vitamin D deficiency, insulin resistance. I'm getting put on medication. It'll help with my weight loss.

I've been losing a pound a week with hypothyroidism out of sheer determination. Feeling good, even though I feel like total shit.

Hi /fg/. Can you lose weight if you don't bother with dieting, just lifting weights and HIIT + physical work during the day?

Guys I fucked up last night and drank five glasses of wine. How can I get over the temptation of booze?
>tfw trying to lose weight, quit smoking, and cut down on drinking all at the same time

>>40456831

no

other way round

>>40456658
If you are trying to learn healthy eating habits, food rewards of unhealthy foods as a 'treat' might not be the best idea.

>>40456831
No, you need a healthy diet with reduced calories.
In weight loss, Diet matters much more than exercise.
What city is this?

After about 3-4 weeks of dieting you should be have depleted your glycogen stores.

You'll lose or gain water weight after depending on diet, but a few weeks in you can be pretty confident that what you're losing is actual body mass.

Just keep at it man. Every month you'll look better. Every month people will comment "Anon you look like you lost weight".

It isn't about the end goal of ideal weight, it is about making steady improvement every month.

went to the gym
Did 3 sets of 8 pull ups
3 sets of 5 squats
and 5 sets of 3 power cleans. I was worried about the power cleans because you can hurt yourself easily. i did warm up lifts with these and 5 minutes on a stationary bike warm up oo

>>40456886
You're never gonna make it with that mindset. Your mother called you and asked if you wanted something to eat. You tell her no. This greentext wouldn't exist if you had the discipline and fortitude to deny yourself the temptation in the first place.

What happened instead was you asked her to bring you something. She brought more then you asked for (typical of mothers), and now you have to justify eating more then you planned. (I don't want to be rude! - this doesn't even make sense, you asked for it, how is it rude to deny it?) Then, finally, you ask others not blame you for your dilemma because the food is irresistible.

You have an unhealthy relationship with food.

>>40456831
No way. But i lost 88lbs by not giving a shit about working out

>>40456946
I also did 3 sets of 3 standing military presses. I was meant to do 5 sets plus warm up but my shoulders are weak as fuck and i couldn't get passes 50 lbs.
On the bright side i really felt my workout and was sweating so much my skin was shiny. I feel really good and i'll get that press next time

I lost 70 lbs by just working everyday, and i didnt care about dieting or working out

who else got McDonalds breakfast up in this bitch?

How do I stop being bothered when my clinically-underweight friend calls herself fat? She's 5'6" 106lbs and got mad when she gained half a pound in two weeks. Meanwhile I'm actually fat, exercising, eating at a deficit, etc. It's infuriating when she eats a banana and complains about how fat she is. If she's fat, what does that make me? She also keeps offering me her food or putting stuff like candy and chips directly in my mouth when she doesn't want them any more. She knows I'm dieting.

My toothache hurts more than 1000 kids starving to death in Africa.

Sorry fatfriend, oat porridge here.

Have been hitting the gym hard for a few months, eating 1200 cals a day. I lift every day and cardio 5 times a week for around 40mins.

Since starting this, I've gained 6lbs. I've lost inches though and apparently I look a lot slimmer.

Question is - when should I expect the actual weight loss to happen? I don't want to keep gaining weight forever. I have around 50lbs to lose and can't really afford to keep gaining.

This didn't happen before I upped my workouts

>>40457130
You aren't counting the calories correctly if you are gaining.

>>40457115
Focus on yourself, you will soon become fit and happy she will stay underweight malnourished unhappy and miserable

>>40457063
Yeah I lived there my family still lives there I sometimes go visit them
Woon niet meer in db helaas

>>40457115
she probably has mental health issues and actually thinks she is fat. try to be a bit more openminded, although it seems like she is fine she is probably in a worse spot than you are (assuming she actually means what she says and isnt just teasing you).

>>40457140

I literally track everything I eat on MFP and weigh/portion my food. There is absolutely no way that I'm eating an additional 3500 calories every week, when my daily calories count is 1200 and my TDEE is over 2200. I'd have to be stuffing my face which I'm really not.

>>40457115
desu stop being friends with her shes obviously malicious and doesnt mean well
i have a friend thats thin and says shes fat and stuff but shes really supportive abt me losing weight. so you need to find better friends

>>40457159
Tough luck you're fucking up somewhere if you've gained weight on a diet.

>>40457159
which TDEE calculator did you use and which activity level did you put in ? A LOT and I mean A LOT of people overestimate their activity level.

Anyone got progress pics going from Seth Rogan to Brad Pitt?

>>40457190

I put in the lowest amount of physical activity because I didn't want to over estimate, plus I have an office jobs so there's literally zero physical exertion.

Regardless, I'm eating 1200 calories each day and logging absolutely everything.

I'm definitely losing inches and fat, even if can tell this by looking in the mirror and measuring, plus several people have commented. I know I'm doing it right, I just assumed the weight gain was to do with either water weight muscle.

I just wanted to know if any anons had gone through a similar thing when first upping their workouts and could tell me when this random gain is likely to end.

>>40457152
Jammer, het is een gezellige stad

Zeker naar de randstad verhuist om te studeren?

>>40457159
you are eating not enough calories, cutting 50% of your tdee is basically a guarantee to fail. Also there is no way that you eat 1200 and gain weight, its just not possible. Maybe you are reading the labels on food wrong, "a portion" often is less than the full package

>>40457251
Naar maastricht en idd om te studeren. Ik mis Den Bosch wel hoor

>>40457318

So it won't be a muscle thing then? That's what everybody else on fit has been telling me so far. I'm really confused. How have I lost inches but gained weight?

>>40457363
weight can fluctuate a little bit but even if you are a complete beginner at lifting weights you will not gain 6lbs on a cut. Maybe your scale is broken, some scales needs to be readjusted if you move them.

>>40457233
when do you weigh yourself ? I notice that I weigh 1-2kg more if I way myself the morning after days where I work out. probably because of the water retention in the muscle.

>>40457344
Dat is nog best een eindje.
Is het daar niet zo gezellig als in Den Bosch?

>it's a Europenas speaking Simlish thread

>>40457404

Maybe. They're accurate scales apparently though.

Honestly I'm not overeating and I'm working out as much as I possibly can and I'm gaining. If I just diet, I tend to lose weight. It's the working out that seems to be causing the gain.

Is this the /fit/ class of 2018?

declare yourself a trip, and be ready to rep 4chan in the internet troll forum bodybuilding competition

>>40457438

About once a fortnight in the AM. I have usually worked out the day before though as I work out 5 days a week and lift every night.

you're fucking stupid and disgusting.

Started dieting about 5 days ago, 5'10" and 210.

Been trying to stay at 1900 caloreis each day and been doing fine with it. You think I should cut back further?

Anyone here have the "Squat is terrible compared to other lifts" syndrome?

I'm 5'11 100 kg and my lifts are 40/60/55/90

It sucks that I can't estimate how well my squat is because it's obviously my body weight lowering it down.

>>40457676
do you use a mirror? It helps a lot, even if it might be a little awkward

>>40457686
Squat while using a mirror? I don't see how that would help me get a good estimation. I didn't mean my form by the way, just how much I'm truly pushing.

Be real with me /fat/, how practical is it to develop an eating disorder. I read an article of some fatty that starved himself for like a year and got /fit/ because of it.

Drink water to survive obviously, but other than that use body fat for every calorie necessary

I'm probably going to try it anyway regardless I'm just tired of this

Imma start working out today with my mom and dad
Im quite unfit but i plan on to power through atleast an hour of working out today but i dont want to hurt myself.
I dont have a good set of running shoes yet so should I just stick with the ellipticals and bikes?
would 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weightlifting be acceptable or should i do 1 hour of each alternating each day?
what are some good meals before and after? water isnt a concern for me as i already drink plenty (even too much at times)

>knees suffered through all the cardio.
what cardio did you do? swimming is goat and doesn't hurt your knees.

steps are okay because less impact than running

walking is fine but it's not super cardio

running is out of the question for most fatties.

Talk to your doc if you can about what you can do for your knees. but good job on that 130lbs

>>40457994
Yes, keep going. Also you were kind of stupid for starting cardio hard enough to hurt your knees, at that weight you should had lost all your fat through diet.

>>40457968
p-please respond

>>40455171

I think the acidity is bad for your stomach and teeth, but that's true for things like juice as well. Not water, though.

And the carbonation can make your stomach expand and make you feel hungry.

I still think fatties who drink tons of soda should shift to diet soda before water, though. Cold turkey is too hard for most people, that's why they're fatties in the first place.

>>40457968
if you are overweight you shouldn't run or else you can seriously damage your joints. Also diet is 90% of weight loss.

>>40458119
this

cardio is for heart strength

did jogging, then deadlifts and squats first thing in the morning.

then went on a 5 hour long walk on the countryside while listening to podcasts

>>40455661

Think about what this is telling you.

1. People who are fit already have better eating habits that don't include diet drinks
2. People who are fat and drink diet drinks don't get their calories from soda, so they must be eating more food to maintain that weight

Shit tier study

>5 hour long walk on the countryside

>>40457130
Depends on how fast you want to lose weight. Taking exercise into account as well for calorie loss is a bonus

>>40458233
i assume you are quite young, it will be difficult for you to lose weight on your own. The most important part as i said is diet, if you are not buying and preparing your own food you will have little control over the amount of calories you eat. If you really want to lose weight talk to your parents about it and maybe even get help from a doctor.

>>40458418
I have talked to my parents about it but they seem to think weightloss is 90% cardio,5% weight lifting, and 5% diet
they try to ridicule me for preferring dumbbells to a treadmill

>>40458503
You can calculate your tdee here: https://tdeecalculator.net/ and eat -500kcal of the result of that.

>>40458546
says i should be doing 2100kcal if im cutting but that seems still relatively high

as long as i dont feel any ill effects, would it be acceptable to tone it down bit by bit?

>>40458597
generally its considered safe to eat -25% of your tdee. However -500 is good enough to see consistent results

I did keto for a while but stopped because it's a huge pain, especially when you live and eat with other people who aren't doing it.
