/fat/ Fatty General

First for who gives a fuck if the thread has the paste or not

>>40955724
Who did their cardio like a good goy today?

Just went on the elliptical for 45 minutes and I have started noticing that my legs hurt a lot more now after my cardio than a month ago. What could be the reason for this soreness? Shouldn't I be getting stronger?

>>40955767
If you're not eating as much, you're not recovering like you once did. It could be a good thing.

>>40955757
The paste is important for fat fucks who don't know where to start and prevents them from asking easily answerable questions and making the threads shitty

Also, for the past few days no one has been linking old threads and new threads, so I wanted to right that wrong.

Sorry for trying to make /fat/ not the shittiest general on /fit/

Im fat how do i curb my appetite?

im already active enough with lifing, i just eat way too much.

>>40955814
gum, water, coffee, IF, willpower

>>40955818
Ive "staved" myself for a week or so and lost 15, i just cant keep it off.

how do i grow willpower?

>>40955788
How could it be a good thing?

>>40955814
Eat filling foods like beans and sweet potatoes.

>>40955818
IF??

>>40955839
If you're losing weight, that means you're properly eating below maintenance.

>>40955866
Yeah I am losing weight, but I am not recovering as well after my workouts, shouldn't I do something?

Confess your cheat meals

Intermittent Fasting.

>>40955838
you lost 15 lbs in a week?

>>40955857
intermittent fasting. You set up hours in the day you are allowed to eat. By having those times it's easier to deal with your hunger mentally. Also allows for slightly larger meals.

They have the exact amount of protein and fat needed to start your day and keep you on track. They also are perfect for curbing cravings for fat. Don't be a manchild eating oatmeal or fiber cereal for breakfast. Choose Jimmy Dean™ products.

>>40955928
That's not a cheat meal? Eating the whole thing is still like? Maximum 300 calories?

>>40955907
I haven't sinned in a long time but I will probably hit 200lbs this week and am considering a cheat meal this friday. Grant me strength and forgiveness.

>tfw you tried to have a cheat meal but you simply could not finish it
I thought training yourself to have a smaller appetite was a meme but it seems to be happening. Would have been easy for me to shove done what I had ordered before.

Will losing weight help me stretch? Like when people reach ofr their toes with straight legs, I can't even reach my knees

So right now I'm using a meal replacement powder and organic multivitamin to help me lose weight while getting proper nutrition. It's been 1 week but I gotta say, so far the results are quite nice. If I make it, I'll like the rest of you fat guys know what I used.

Did an attempt at 500m rowing for as fast as I can. Got 1:53. It was for only one set and I was beat after it. Id like to be able to get to the point where I can do 20 minutes straight at a good time.

>>40956351
If it helps at all it wasn't enjoyable past the first 3 pieces. But instead of deciding to piece it out over another 4-5 days to fit it into my daily calories I just decided to scarf the whole fucking thing. Felt disgusting and hated myself for a few hours afterwards.

>>40955724
So /fat/, im addicted to cardio now. Ive almost reached my goal weight of 180 (only 25lbs away) and ive gotten tired of my daily walk so i burned some P90X videos onto a cd and played them on my ps3.

Holy shit this feels so good, im usually exhausted at the end but i feel great. Each workout burns about 600 calories, and at my weight it might be even more. Im doing a mix and match of their best cardio exercises, three each day. Today i did kenpo > cardio > plyometrics and burned around 1800-2000 calories according to their online calculator.

I dont even feel fatigued and do it all again the next day, it feels really good when im finished wih a video an sit their strecthing out and recovering. Since im too busy working out i dont even have tine to think about food either.

Is there a thing as too much exercise? I think im replacing my food addiction with this constant exercise

>>40956512
When you pay $20k for cosmetic surgery.

>>40956512
When you build the muscle to fill it out.

>>40956524
What? I feel fatter with this stuff than before I started working out! Wtf!

What's the verdict on eating back exercised calories? For example I went on an 8 mile hike to the top of the highest point in my state today, pretty grueling. Should I add that to mfp?

>>40956546
exercise is bonus deficit

>>40956508

>each workout is designed to burn around 600 calories for the average 180lb man and 550 calories for the average 120lb woman, but you may burn more depending on your weight and body composition.

>t P90X website

Each workout is literally an hour long of HIIT

>>40956559
So if I have a 1k deficit already, is safe to easy those back without reprecussions?

>>40955767
Make sure to get a lot of vitamin d and calcium. I had to quit airforce basic training because my vitamin d was critically low and i got stress fractures from all the running.

You'll feel nausea

>>40955902
Get better sleep, drink enough water, consume enough protein. Also try to get a good post-workout shake with carbs to replenish your glycogen stores.

I've also heard ice baths/showers work good for recovery.

Volume, family. This board hates keto, but consider increasing your fat intake and lowering carbs. It doesn't need to be 25g but try to stay under 100. You'll feel fuller. If you don't want eat salads, try soups. Soups are a godsend for volume eaters.

the past 2 days I've consumed an absurd amount of sugar free jello, i mix in 2 packets and let it sit overnight then eat it throughout the day, normally i eat like 1/3 after every meal, here are the macros for 2 packets (2 lts of jello)

it seems to good to be true, what are the bad sides of doing this everyday? i guess the protein from gelatin isn't really that useful but desu i only eat it for the flavor and to be 100% full after my meals

>>40958062

hey /fat, just curious, how do you measure your meat?

I hear some people like to measure it after it's cooked selecting the preferred method on MFP (for example, grilled chicken, baked tilapia, etc) Other people measure it raw and add it just like that.

I found out that the best option for me is to just go with the one that has more calories to use it as some form of safety net, raw skinless chicken breast has more calories than the grilled chicken option on MFP so I've just been using that whenever i cook my chicken

Is anyone else paranoid that they're going to weigh themselves one day and their progress will be gone? I started about 5 weeks ago at 235, and now I'm juat about to crack 220, but I'm always worried I'm going to step on the scale at 232 or something.

>>40958195
i've legit had nightmares where i'd eat an insane amount of fast food then weight myself and i'd be somewhere in the low 300s (started at 360 currently 249)

First month 2000. If that was a breeze, second month 1800, third month 1500 and stay there. Don't try to do too much at once, that's how people give up. If 2000 is the struggle then you prolly aren't gonna make it. Try moving more.

I finally have a goal now. My college fucked me over and now I gotta drop out. My new goal is to join the police so I actually do need to get fit af. Already lost 5 pounds within a month so I'm gettin there.

keep losing weight bros, you're gonna make it soon

What kind of a deficit are you guys doing? I've been eating about 1000 a day, sometimes up to 1200-1300. Everyone tells me it's bad and almost everything I've read says it's bad but I feel fine. The only time I feel hungry is on my way home from work to eat dinner. Do I need to be eating more? Sedentary TDEE is 2420, it's been almost a month and I'm down almost 7kg.

I've got a question for you, /fat/. How did you become overweight in the first place?

I've just not tried to get into a relationship.

People who get into a relationship with a fat person generally want to be in a relationship with a fat person, and very often will sabotage weight loss attempts.

>>40958845
1. how fuckin fat are you
2. you're never going to make it

ever since i started drinking 1 and a half gallon of water a day my piss is very clear, the stream look like a water faucet but the toilet water still turn a little bit yellow, this is normal and good right?

>>40958421

You're probably counting wrong, weight should melt off at the beginning if you eat a 1k deficit

>>40958911
You boil them, you can buy them at literally any store that sells food. Get the steel cut shit.

>>40958921
completely normal.

>>40958883
sticky

>>40958912
not knowing how much went into my mouth+

Down to 230 from 370. Feel like a different person. Plan to diet to 190 and just try and build as much muscle at that weight as i can.i'm 6'0 tall

>>40958912
apathy towards life

>>40958912
years of being left to my own devices, never forced to exercise and having an italian mother

Now over 2 months into my 300cal/day diet. Dropped 80lbs.

>>40958912
I've been chubby my whole life. I wish I knew why. I've lost a lot of weight tho.

>>40958984
Those numbers don't add up at all

>>40958920
5'10
235-237 pounds

>>40958990
Well it would be 350 cals a day since I take fish oil but don't count it because it's not food

>>40958926
ill try them, looks like walmart has them cheap so i can grab a box when i buy more bananas for the week tomorrow. i like them even if im not eating with toast/peanut butter

not sure if this is question is relevant to the thread but I think I started bulking a little too early but I feel like I'm too far in to lose everything by cutting.

Should I just commit? I think I'm around 20% body fat but it's hard to tell since I tend to get visceral fat easier.

>>40959000
The numbers still don't add up. If you lose 80 lbs in 60 days you are losing more than 1lb per day.

You would need to be in deficit over 10x what you're saying. Are you sure you're not over like 500 lbs and running a massive deficit?

>>40958997
those are almost exactly my stats, weird. have you been gaining or losing?

I've been eating well still but having trouble making it to the gym outside of scheduled appointments with my trainer (thank fuck I found a really good cheap trainer because it's all that's keeping me on track right now).

I'm losing energy and will because of my relationship with my fiance kind of getting in the way. We live together. He doesn't do shit. He cleans maybe once a week while I'm cleaning something almost daily just trying to get our apartment to not look like garbage (before I started working on myself depression let this place get bad. Not hazardous or anything but tons of clutter).

And yet he still does nothing with me having 80% of the work done by myself.

I cant concentrate on motivating myself to go to the gym or even do cardio at home because.my home makes.me sad as fuck. One part of.me wants to just leave but I can't ditch a good relationship for one problem like this.


I just needed to get this off my chest.

I didn't lose any weight this week because I skipped my nonscheduled workouts but I didn't gain either (even after succumbing to an ice cream binge which I've posted about here the other day).
I just want him to get off his fucking ass. All he does is sit in bed playing games all day. He won't even get up to get himself food most of the time and instead either gets hangry at me or just goes a couple days without eating if I don't get it for him and he doesn't understand how much stress it puts me through to see him do that especially when it.makes him sick.

I just feel like crying /fat/ and getting a soda. Thank fuck it snowed a lot today or I'd probably have given in to that craving by now (la Croix has helped in the meantime but this flavor tastes like butt).

I just need to start being a bitch about it because clearly being nice and communicating isn't fucking helping and I'm sick of my own mental health suffering because boo fucking hoo he's too sad to get up and do something..Me too. Suck it up. Ugh.

Can anyone comment on my supplement regiment?

Before bed
>2 Fish Oil
>1 Biotin

When I wake up
>2 Fish Oil
>1 Biotin
>1 Nature Made Stress B Complex with Zinc

Thinking of adding an iron pill to this as well, would move the B complex to before bed along with the iron pill since iron needs VitC to absorb and the B complex pill has VitC in it already.

Was also thinking of adding D3 as well since I get no sunlight. I work nights and only see the sun on my drive home from work.

I know i'm over on the fish oil but i'm on big cal defect. The fish oil really helped me with my dry eyes and skin as crazy as that sounds.

>>40959038
no iron

>>40959045
My only dietary input is 1 scoop of slim fast powder in 300mls of whole milk a day. Are you sure I should get some iron?

>>40959037
Start reading. Anything at all.

>>40959055
How is that working for you? Stats?

Has anyone here done a water fast? How long did you go for and how much weight was lost?

>>40958682
Bloggy post inc, but when i was in high school i was around 250lbs, which is the weight that i'm currently now after a year and a half of dieting (ate my way up to 360)

High school was the time where i felt more confident with myself, and also the only time in my life where i actually hooked up with girls constantly, i'm not gonna lie the best i got was probably a 7/10 but still, confidence really matters and it's not a meme, but no matter what no one has an excuse to be fat and i'm aiming to focus on myself for the rest of the year to get to to the 190s

>>40958936
similar build here, 6ft and 260 but i started at 360, i thought the recommended weight for us was like 170? or are you aiming to be big guy? (for us)

>>40959073
Started at 370ish, now abou 220 @ 6foot even. Works good for me, traded one eating disorder for another I guess. My hair started falling out so I started the biotin, then my eyes and lips were dry as the desert. The Fish Oil fixed that. Started feeling sick all the time, the B complex fixed that. Now I feel mostly fine besides a little more fatigued than I think I should. That's why I was thinking of adding iron. Also doing lots of cardio, starting cardio really made me feel a lot better as far as health (physical and mental) though I still feel like I'm a lo more angry than I should be. The littlest thing sets me off now when before I was an easy going guy that could walk in on his wife fucking another man and just go "oh well". Now i ready to kill someone for looking at me wrong

>>40959112
I know the big bone thing is a meme but I do feel like i'm built bigger than most people. Im broad shouldered and big chested. I feel like if I get down to 170 i'd be meth head looking. If I get to 190 and i'm still fat i'll go down to 180. I do plan to build decent muscle mass though

>>40958911
How are you this retarded?

>>40959080
I lost 10 pounds a week for 6 weeks on a water fast.

>>40959113
how much weight are you losing each week?

>>40959080
>dehydrating to trick yourself into thinking you're losing weight

The fuck?

>>40958752
Buy bread that doesn't have added sugar.or bleached flour. Buy wraps instead of bread. Don't eat.A sandwich daily just eat one once or twice a week and make sure they fit with your.micro macro counts and shit. Just don't be an idiot about it.

>>40959138
How difficult was it? How bad were the effects on your health?

>>40958925
I thought so too but using myfitnesspal

>>40959152
It was pretty easy and I didn't notice any side effects.

>>40958682
Step one: don't have a shitty personality

>>40959133
ive never eaten oat anything, oatmeal always sounded like a weird food and never wanted any quaker oats products

>>40959080
i actually just finished a week long water fast, went from 262 to 250, taking supplements and vitamins while drinking a gallon of water a day.

Really recommend doing this at least once every few months if you're a fatty. Specially if you feel like you're on the verge of killing yourself because of your diet. Before the fast i was doing 1.3k cals a day of PSMF and the temptation to cheat everyday was monstrous, after the fast i feel like i just started my diet again for the first time and temptations are at 0 again.

>>40959038
You don't need iron unless you get anemic (such as menstruating women) or have an illness that requires extra iron. What you need you should be getting from food.

Help my /fat/, I'm a food addict and trying to curb my dietary habits back to human.

5'8 210lbs

I'm a boredom eater, but I haven't made friends since school and I live in the rural US, so there's no quick entertainment around for miles. I end up eating instead, though I've been kicking that habit as of late.

About to go to the gym in a bit, though.

>>40959172
should have just kept going desu unless you were feeling ill

>>40959152

>>40959172 here, i was able to maintain my lifts and increase my cardio as intended, i only remember feeling lightheaded the first 2 days

>>40959202
>Boredom eater
I literally lost my first 40 lbs by just buying a motorcycle and riding it constantly.

Not saying you need a motorcycle but by introducing fun and exciting things into your life can help show you how much more the is to do.

>>40959202

>I didn't read

The friend i was mentioning has the fucking worst personality i have ever come across and I don't personally take a liking to his disgusting self-absorption at all.

I'll likely stop being his friend somewhere down the road because of how much he looks down on everyone else and how much he bitches and complains about how everyone else is the source of his problems but primarily his parents even though he's fucking 20 years of age already and lying about moving out of their home.

Now I understand what you mean but you got me fucked up if that advice is fake as fuck and easy to see when it's him and the other one in comparison.

Some girls must be desperate for sure but how he managed to suck her into his scheme is something I'm still trying to figure out.

That advice just isn't worth giving anymore is the point I'm trying to make.

Personally I don't go out of my way to get in other people's lives and fuck with them like he does, though, so I'd wager I'm at the very least doing something right by being helpful to those around me.

I don't hold the fucking door for girls, though, I know better now.

I ate way too fucking much today. But I also learned a lot about what losing 25 pounds has done to me. I literally can not drink pop anymore. Burns my throat. Now if only candy and other sweets caused me as much pain...

>>40959287
I was given a doughnut today, it was so sweet I couldn't finish it. IT was too overpowering.

>>40959139
It kinda flip flops around and is slowing down as I get closer to normal BMI. like 3 to 4 lbs a week would be my guess

>>40959287
Same. Id be content never ingesting soda again.

>>40959264
1 hr of cardio every other day. Weight training on the off days. No days off

>>40959279
a big part of self-improvement and becoming happier is cutting out toxic friends, they only drag you down

>>40959292
>>40959318
150 to 160 if you just want to be skinny and not bulk. 170 to 180 might be okay if you want to stop there.

>>40959301
And hiw ling since you started? Dont mean to puck your brain, just would like some reffrence. I scroll these threads seeung people starting out in low 200s and just cant relate.

well I'm 160 now and still pretty pudgy in the belly area, I was thinking of going down to 130 but not sure if that's too low

>>40959328
Not sure wtf happened to my english there...

>>40959316
Work my way up to it. Started cutting at a normal defect. Figured I could cut a little more, and a little more and so on till i got to where i am now. Same for working out. Started out doing plub shit but kept going and going till now

Should I mainly focus on cardio so early on and try and build my fitness up before weights or not?

Hi fellow fatties.
6'2" 135kg. Holy shit, how did this happen.
Started my diet proper today. Cut out chocolate, chips, biscuits etc. about a week ago. Not missing it as much as I thought. But fucking pepsi max, I don't know why but I can't quit it. Going on holiday so I'll see how I go without it.
Gonna get back on my bike, but I worry how I'll go with the weather getting colder. Considering gym too. But the main issue at the moment is my diet. Downloaded myfitnesspal and logging calories.
Sorry for the blog post.

>>40959814
Bruv same position I'm in (post above)
Getting colder meaning ausfag?

>>40959840
Yeah bro, Victoria. Good luck with the gym!
We're gonna make it.

learn to count macros and calories won't be as hard

>>40959814
You'll be fine. Just lift like hell and you'll make a cute bear.

>>40959868
Ah nice, I'm in Ballarat.
My housemate is just as big as me but has no motivation to fix himself. Just says that nothing works ,so a bit depressing.
But there's a gym about a 5-minute walk from here so I may as well just start tomorrow.
>>40959885
>>40959888
Thanks guys! Using myfitnesspal is interesting, first time I've ever actually counted calories or macros.

>>40959814
>6'2"
you've met the requirements for bearmode

just eat 1000kcal over TDEE and take up powerlifting

>>40959903
OK cool, should I focus on cutting first though?

>>40959902
Nice!
Start man, my girlfriend is the one who said I should gym at the same time. She's fit as Fuck and I'm just wanting to be able to stand beside her and not feel out of place.
Fuck your housemate! This is all you bro

>>40959913
If you care more about strength, you should build muscle first while you still have the bulk. Cutting makes you weak since you're eating at an energy deficit all the time, so no gainz unless you're a beginner.
You could cut first but then you'll see yourself bulking later on when your strength peaks.
Either way, I commend you anon
>gonna make it

Yeah fuck him, would be nice to have a mate come along but it hasn't put me off.

Hello again /fat/bros.

I'm 5kg off a healthy weight, well the very near end of the BMI of my category.

It feels so weird, my diet is literally shit tier, I no longer feel shin splints from walking, I'm doing something right though.

Also is it normal for my sternum to feel like it sticks out a bit? I've forgotten what it was like.

I think I'm going to for 75kg, the very bottom of what's healthy in my range.

I'm that fattie that started lifting a few days ago

>first time ever lifting on Sunday
>Monday sore as fuck so I did cardio
>Tuesday my off day but hurt even more than Monday
>still a bit sore today
Do I lift today? Or wait till I'm 100% and just cardio today?

>>40959982
What's your routine?

As a beginner, you should work every muscle group once a week. The pain you experience is DOMS which is your body's response to doing something it's not used to. As time goes on your body adapts and your body won't be sore as often. Eventually you'll want to hit each muscle 2-3 times a week to get maximum gainz

I squat 3 times a week and usually don't feel sore in my legs

>>40959982
eat more proteins and just do 25 min cardio and rest

Since i bought a bigger pot and pan meal prepping only takes around 2h30min instead of 4h30min.
If any of you fatties are lazy too, consider meal prepping it really changed my life, instead of eating a frozen pizza every day i now eat a prepared meal every day that tastes better and has much better nutritional value.

>>40959959
Why not fix your diet a little bit. Nobody expects you to live like a hermit. But eating unhealthy still damages your body bro, fix it and attain that weight you're striving for. You'll thank us when you're 65 and don't feel like shit.

Can anyone please help me with food? Im trying to cut and follow suggested fit recipes but theres a fuckton of beans, broccoli, bran, eggs and other similar foods suggested for meals that absolutely destroy my stomach because I have Crohns Disease. Is there any recommended substitutes for those types of foods? Like can I sub brown rice instead of beans?

>>40960061
Well, I say shit, I get a good balance of fat/carbs/protein.

But simply put I eat very simple meals, like chicken, rice, soy sauce.

I do 3 supplements a day, I know it's not enough, 2 daily Multivitamins and what ever else I find, B12/Taurine etc.

Is this still a terrible idea?

>>40955907
Ate some KFC yesterday and went 100 calories over my TDEE. Fucked up, since I could've just cut that shit up and ate with broccoli for the next two meals and keep calories lower. I'm mad as fuck.

>>40960145
Lol dude chill.


Everyone occasionally goes over their TDEE, just don't do it often.

Just forget about it and eat your same deficit tomorrow, don't starve yourself, consider some light exercise perhaps.

Staying mad about breaking one time is unproductive, imagine the old you, he/she would have had to do that hundreds of times to get fat, you did it once, that's an achievement.

>>40958531
Recount your TDEE and count your calories closer on MFP, you have to be fucking something up.

>>40959814
Good hair and beard, you don't look like a sperg, so I bet you'll make it. Just read the sticky, count your calories on MFP, and when you lose 5-10 kg, start lifting some SS and go from there.

>>40960188
Yeah, I guess you're right, when I saw my old calorie count, I usually went over 1000 to 3000 cal over my TDEE. Thanks for keeping me in check.

>>40960222
Haha thank you for the compliment. Read the sticky, and using MFP so hopefully in a month or two I'll have some results. I've read a bit about starting SS, looking forward to it.

Don't BE MEAN TO HIM, HE DIETED FOR A WHOLE WEEK.

A WHOLE WEEK, 7 DAYS OF EATING NO LARD, DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS?

>>40958912
I was pretty average in HS around 65 kilos (132 lbs). Some horrible things happened and i started eating like crazy, nothing filled the void as much as nasty fat food, now almost 11 years later I'm at my highest weight 110 kilos (242 lbs). I just cant stop eating, cant keep a diet, pretty much it's too late. Depression is hell of a thing

>>40960307
literally all water weight

post progress in 3 months

>>40960411
i started last week man

>>40960527
i actually gained the weight due to being in a really bad relationship, i was super depressed and would just order out and eat huge fatty portions of food. in my daily life before that relationship i ate well under 2k, dieting isn't my problem depression eating it but ive been able to keep at it for 2 months now, and only started going to the gym last week

>>40960669
Only 5lbs in 2 months? I mean, that's ok I guess.
I've lost 20kg in 4 months, you can push yourself a lot harder.

I think gym is a meme when you're pretty fat, it's good to build willpower but you will see fuckall gains.

Focus on deficit, gym can come later.

ehh, i've been sorta yo-yoing at the moment. i had a lot of things pop up..lots of things that involved food..not the healthiest of foods. basically a complete week of fucking up, but few anons told me that was probably for the best, because if i didn't eat anything at the events, i would probably binge even more, and probably fuck up harder then if i just ate at my events that came up..

so for few weeks i lost like 13 pounds (mostly water weight, i know) but after that week of fucking up, i checked myself and gained back like 3-4 pounds.. but i've accepted i can't keep fucking up, and i have no big plans, for many months, so i am back on track... hoping to get into the 200 pound range, towards the middle of summer but idk..

>>40960707
(im not the guy you just responded too)

but i've heard cardio is best early on. specially if your considered obese/morbidly obese.
so as long as that anon doesn't fuck with the weights, he should be good..but then again i've heard lifting weights is better then cardio because it burns like 2x the calories. so he won't see any gains, but he will drop fat faster

>>40960707
>>40960729

i was 300 before i took the pic, 290 when i did. and my weigh in this morning was the 5lb lost at the gym, my willpower is fine desu im not snacking or sneaking food, im eating 1086 a day and working out everyday except sat/sun also doing cardio after lifting, the gym is keeping me from just roping myself basically. i can just escape and work out and everyone there is really helpful. i work out at like 12am till 3am

>>40960729
If you are just starting out you can lose weight and gain muscle at the same time. Muscle require more energy to maintain than fat, so the more you have the easier it is to cut.

Cardio burns more calories, not very many, but is really good for general health. But the larger you are the more cardio can fuck up your knees. At 300ish I'd say you should probably start with walking a couple miles a day and lifting. Add cardio in like 3-4 months and go with whatever works.

How much weight should I be expecting to lose per month realistically? I'm fuckhuge and have like 200 pounds to lose. Been eating at 1500 calories daily.

Not having a problem with losing, it's coming off. Just trying to get a feel for what to expect.

You'll lose insanely fast at first, my weight-loss has been 4 months and first month was 8kg, 4kg,5kg, 4kg.

Probably some water weight meme.

>>40960861
>200 pounds to lose
you could probably lose like 3-4 pounds a week for awhile.
A consistent 1.5-2 pounds is great once you hit the 200s

I'm counting my calories on MFP but I still feel like I'm over-eating

Is this how anorexia starts?

>>40960903
water weight loss is only crazy for like the first month. I personally spam it at anyone that posts insane first month progress thinking that it's going to keep going like that.

>>40960938
probably.

>>40960938
it's a bit early to be worrying about stuff like that

The most accurate way would be weighing it raw and using the nutrition data on the package to calculate the macros and calories. The package is always the source of the most accurate information and the data there is for the state of the food as it is in the package, that is, raw.

The mobile MFP app can be used to scan barcodes and get the package nutrition data easily into your MFP food log.

I hate being a morbid obese fatty. I keep trying to cardio so I can lose weight faster and jesus fuck Im out of shape. I kept ending up feeling shaky and then drinking a shitton of juice. I get shaky a lot when doing physical activity or even just mild chores, Im guessing its not low blood sugar tho? I see the FPH meme of "muh sugars", is that what they are referring to?

>>40961093
juice is literally soda, stop drinking it. The only liquids that go into your body should be water, black coffee, or tea

If you are having that much difficulty with cardio you should start by just walking a mile or two a day.

>>40961093
just walking does wonders
go walk in the park or across the beach, they're usually pretty empty

>>40961093
Just drink water bruh

>>40958531
Weight is not decreasing or increasing = your calorie intake equals your calorie expenditure

If you know your calorie intake, that number is your current TDEE. Lower calories to continue losing weight.

>>40961120
I was able to stop turning to juice when I got the shakes, I put it in MFP and realized it wasnt as healthy as I thought. I didnt know fruit was so high in sugars so I just drink ice water as I lay there trying to regain my breath. I assume the shakiness goes away as I get more conditioned and used to physical activity, it there anything I should be doing to minimize the shakes while Im in fat phase?

>>40961163
stats?

I think you should consider just walking for now. Cardio is a nightmare for everyone when they first start, but not sure that's a common thing.

>>40958688
Make sure you get your micros. Take a multivitamin.

You add water/milk to oats and cook them in the microwave. Oatmeal is cooked oats. You can add stuff to your oats before or after cooking, like bananas. More water makes oatmeal more filling while also diluting the taste. You can eat oats raw too (not steel-cut oats, though) like a cereal. Oats can be used as in ingredient in baking. Rolled oats (like Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats) are the basic type, don't buy instant oats. Oats are a dirt cheap food that's really nutritious which is why it's popular with /fit/.

>Eat it all by Thursday like a faggot.

Heading to the store after work to pick up a few things to add to my new fit diet. Gonna get rolled oats for overnight oats, almond butter, protein powder, spinach and frozen blueberries.

Any other /fit/ recommended foods for new fatizens trying to eat right?

>>40961524
I like to get those huge bags of frozen mixed veggies. Just put them in a bowl with water, microwave for 5 minutes. Eat them plain or add them to meals easy.

You can train with DOMS, it's not dangerous. You'll learn to differentiate muscle soreness from the pain of strains/tears and joint pain which are what you shouldn't try to train through.

Massive soreness occurs when you stress a muscle in some new way or a lot more than you're used to. it stops happening when you get used to it, usually after the first week of training. So, soreness happens to everyone starting to train or re-starting after a break. Some people get soreness in some part their body always. I think most people won't get soreness at all if they train frequently enough.

For me, if I train everything twice a week or more often, I don't get soreness. If it's been one week or longer since the last time I trained some body part, it'll get a little sore next time I train it. After a longer break, I'll be seriously sore too. So, I try not to have periods of zero training like that. Training lightly during a break keeps the soreness away while still allowing you to recover fully.

About to go for a relaxing morning walk lads.

Greatly increasing your caloric expenditure is pretty difficult. Even very intense exercise isn't that effective since you can't keep it up for very long. For those who aren't elite athletes, big increases in energy use come mostly by a relatively small increase in expenditure that lasts a long time. Like having a physical job where you're walking and doing stuff for 8 hours every day is effective. Exercising for 8 hours on your free time isn't really reasonable.

Don't think of exercise as a way to increase your caloric expenditure. It's ineffective at that. Do it for health and feeling better. That should be simpler to do and more motivating since you can just focus on the gains in your ability to move.

>>40961672
>It's ineffective at that. Do it for health and feeling better.
It's ineffective at the beginning. But it pays dividends. Once you can really train up your endurance, eating more, while maintaining your deficit is easier and more efficient.

I like to think of cardio as "training endurance" I'm not trying to burn calories, really, just to increase my capacity to burn calories in the future.

Good luck with that champ. If you can only do a 500 before dying its going to take a lot of work to get up to 20 mins. That will be roughly 5k depending on your pace.

I'm fine with actual physical hunger, but I hate this bullshit mental hunger...

I fucking quit smoking, how the hell is controlling food intake this hard...

I've been experimenting with something I thought was a typical misguided step of someone trying to lose weight.

I'm delaying breakfast. Not skipping it, but delaying it for as long as I deem easy. I never feel particularly hungry right after waking up anyways, and by waiting a couple of hours before eating, and then only eating approximately 200kcal, keeping to the entire day's calorie limit is far easier than before.

Currently 164lbs, so I know I don't -quite- belong on this thread, but I began at 240-250, and this general didn't exist back then, and I want to participate with my fellow bros for a fellow cause.

>>40961066
opposite
I tell myself I'm not hungry, but I might be insatiable later. So some nights I end up not eating a great deal.

>>40961885
Basically 16-8 IF at that point

>>40959020
He's only eating 300-350 calories per day. Not on a 350 calorie deficit.

>>40961941
Yes, I suppose you're right.

>>40961885
I've been doing the same with delayed breakfast, but for the reason that eating when I first wake up upsets my stomach for some reason. My system needs time to wake up before it can handle oats even, so I end up delaying breakfast by a couple hours and I've noticed it helps me later in the afternoon when my hunger usually hits hard. Plus I'm not wasting time on the toilet

>>40959113
Take a multi vitamin so you get all of your micros.

5'5 200lb male looking to get down to 170.

If I lift (Frankoman's dumbbell routine twice a week) and do cardio (Couch to 5k program) while eating 1500-1700 calories a day (about 500-800 below my sedentary TDEE will I die?

>>40961604
Good job anon, you can do it!

>>40955907
Ate a bag of salted sticks yesterday, while watching a movie, because I like snacking during movies. My calorie intake was still below 1500 kcal, but I shouldn't have eaten them.

>>40961987
Yes, I also feel the hunger is most aggressive later in the day, and eating like this also allows me to eat a major meal (800kcal+) for dinner, which usually is not too long before I do strength training. If there's one point of the day I refuse to be hungry, it's before and after exercise, which this type of fasting makes easier.

I haven't actually realized how I'm practically doing 16-8 IF before
>>40961941
Pointed it out, but I kind of am, as I usually plan on eating my last meal approx. 4 hours before going to sleep. The result is something like this:

>>40962143
Saltstenger (sticks) are the shit. Takes long to eat, so it has a low calore/time unit compared to other snacks. Fellow germanic bruder?

>>40962175
No, I'm from Hungary, but yeah, I fucking love them, it takes 20 minutes to consume only 330 kcals.

If you've binge eaten a lot over the years and your stomach is all stretched, can it recover and tighten up again if you stop?

Or will I always feel like I've not eaten enough even tho I have.

>>40962205
eat literally as many vegetables as you want if it's really a problem for you.

I definitely have adjusted, a typical meal from before (cheat meal now) can fill me up for almost the entire day.

>>40962133
>will I die?
You will die even if you do nothing. Such is the fate of life.

You'll prolong your life with the plan you laid out though.

>>40961884
I say busy, pick up a new hobby you can do when bored. try to fill the void with water.

>>40961298
Not him but anything similar?
My legs get crampy after 30m of sitting

>>40962205
it doesn't really stretch, you just get better at tolerating a full stomach

if you're been on a deficit for a while, you wouldn't be comfortable eating large portions of food like you used to

I made myself sick when I tried to finish off an entire medium pizza
In my fat days I could have had a large with a side and still have room for dessert

>>40955767
You should cut your cardio down to 25 minutes of hiit, 2 minutes sprinting on and off

>>40962205
You will definitely adjust to eating lower amounts of food over time, but in the beginning you might have to harden your willpower quite a bit. Just remember, it won't stay as difficult throughout the entire journey.

>>40961257
Sure, why not? Increasing your TDEE is great. Doing small things, taking the stairs, parking further away, freqent walks, are great. It's also good to train up your cardio for the future. If you think that'll help, and you got the money, why not?

>>40955767
Did some running. was able to reach 3miles today, ran the first one without stopping, then the rest with sprints and walking. My final cardio goal is to reach the 18min 3 mile.

>>40958386
Wanna see my abs for the first time in my life, because I have an elbow injury that prevents me from lifting seriously, so I want to get lean at least. Goal weight is about 76-78 kilos based on that, I currently weight 84 kilos, and have lost 5 kilos so far.

>>40958386
I want to like myself.

>>40958386
Get lean enough so I can get an unrelated medical problem fixed without hassle, then clean bulk back up to monstrous size.

>>40958386
That was actually my first goal

then I did one and realized they weren't hard, I was just too fat.

I want to hit a 'healthy' bmi and bf%. Going to decide to lose more or focus more on lifting after that.

>>40958386
I want to be able to do a pushup.

Mental breakdown in college then binge eating fast food all day every day for two years. It's insane how many calories you can eat for almost no money if you eat taco bell all day.

>>40958912
I like food.

>>40958912
I've never been a fatass, but always been kinda fat, like 26 BMI. I guess it's because I never did any extracurricular sports like all of my mates did. Wanted to lose it in high school, but I got weird pains from running (can run now though), and I wasn't really educated on the whole calorie restriction thing, so I just ate as much as I felt.

>>40958386
I didn't want to die fat

>>40958912
Fat since chidhood. When my best neighborhood moved, I started spending all my time inside. No friends, didn't play anymore, got fat, stayed fat.

>>40958912
I thought I had an eating disorder but it turns out I just never learned how to feed myself.

I was a skinny kid because of metabolism, so I ate whatever I wanted, and that carried over into adulthood and made me fat.

>>40959000
>but don't count it because it's not food
I know it's only 50 calories but that had me laughing out loud.

>>40958912
Combination of being a lazy sack of shit that likes video games and tv too much and having fast food being one of the only sources of food for most of my life.

>>40958912
Poorfag growing up who always wanted more to eat. On top of that, my Mom was a super controlling bitch w/ a food problem of herself. She would get Lucky Charms and sugary cereals and make us kids eat knockoff cheerios from the dollar tree or something. She would have her cookie dough, her ice cream, her sodas, etc. All these costlier treats that we weren't allowed to eat. She even raided our Halloween candy for the good stuff for herself.

When I moved out it was like OH WOW I can finally grab a soda without her being psycho over it (note: she wasnt concerned about us gaining weight or anything like that, she let us have sugar, but it was just shit candy and stuff no kid likes).

I binged a little and kept an okay weight. I later became disabled and physical activity stopped and there came the fat. Trying to move forward w/ weight loss w/ a disability that limits the stuff I eat. I hope to make it one day bros

coffee with almond milk tastes like almond coffee

I was in the same exact position as you. gained 50+ pounds in a year because of it all. I ended up leaving him last May and moved out this past November (he was also a manipulative prick who wouldn't even shower unless I begged him). It was the best decision I could have made. I'm not saying to just give up on the relationship but that's what was best in my situation. Maybe if I had grown balls and turned bitchy about it all things would have been different but I'm so glad they didn't. Not to mention I've lost almost 40 pounds since leaving him.

6'0'' M 175lbs (started at 192 in January)
My goal is to have visible abs for the first time in my life.
Got up this morning and realised I can now easily see the top two pairs of ab muscles if I tense- literally the best fucking feeling in the world. Still got another 10-14lbs to lose but I'm so glad to see visible progress.
Keep at it bros, we're gonna make it.

I've watched his video a couple days ago, and I don't know if it would be better to run in a fasted state or not. I don't usually run in a fasted state, because I get really hungry after waking up (I eat once a day). I mean, on the one hand, running in a fasted state means you burn fat, but on the other hand, shouldn't running in a not fasted state still help with depleting my glycogen(?) stores, leading to more fat burning later on? I guess the answer is that it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but it would still feel better to lose weight at peak efficiency.
