No fucking way you ate 1kg of cheese. I refuse to believe any human could consciously down that much cheese in one sitting.

First for don't buy into the refeed meme, after 3 weeks of clean cutting at 1200 calories a day i decided to eat the same food but reach 2800 calories. Feel like complete shit and i feel a massive log incoming too, i probably did nothing to my body but waste a day of cutting

Been fitting my jeans way better and it feels really loose now. But my weight stayed the same for like 3 weeks. Am I doing ok?

I guess the elite fatties aren't here yet, at my worst (350lbs) i could EASILY down a kg of this cheese that was made by a local farm, it was the stringiest and most delicious cheese i've eaten to this day, it was like eating cheese silk

They're 190 calories with no lettuce each, so eat two with diet pop and have a small dinner.

Just made this

>half an onion
>2 cloves of garlic
>1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
>1 can sweet corn, drained
>1 can diced tomatoes, drained

Sauted the onion in 1 tsp of olive oil and added the rest, then added some basil, oregano, parsley, and pepper. Very low calorie and tasted great.

I've been curious about this 1000 calorie diet thing

Are you sure you're not weaker for it? you're not losing muscle mass are you?

>>40972394
I'm super pig mode anon, I'm okay with losing muscle as long as the fats going too, gains can come once I'm at a decent non manboob weight

>>40972322
>They're 190 calories with no lettuce each
Then they're like 191 calories with lettuce? Why you hating on lettuce brah

>>40972415
I just googled it, that's all, lettuce fucking rules. I wanted tacos today too to be honest but I didn't give in

>>40972409
Good on you. Too many people focus too much on muscle loss when they have bigger concerns like their heart and diabetes.

>>40972306
Get a Spicy Potato Soft Taco and ask for it Fresco Style. It's under 200 calories then.

Part of it was certainly because I barely ate any salt for a month. But it was glorious to actually see the number on the scales move noticeably for once.

>>40972495
My diet has been months of trial and error. A lot of what helped me get my shit together was using MyFitnessPal and logging everything I ate. If you put in the correct info it will tell you if you are in calorie range or not among other things like sodium.

This marks the start of my journey from fatty to hotty. Wish me luck bois

>>40972629
stats?

Just finished my first 5x5 workout literally like an hour ago.

I just did the squats with bodyweight cause I don't have the form down completely yet.

Is 5x5 the only workout I need? Or should I do some cardio on my inbetween days? Or cardio everyday? Mostly trying to lose weight right, I wouldn't mind working on muscle in the meantime though.

>>40972629
Take a before pic for your own records.

>>40972631
Starting off at:
>97kg or 213 lb
>176cm or 5ft 9in
>body fat ~ 28% (not 100% sure just a rough estimate)

>>40972714
good idea

>>40972664
Cardio 2x a week.

You won't get the form down for squats completely until you are squatting heavy weights (>100 lbs) because your balance shifts when there is more weight. Make sure you push your knees out and follow all the instructions in Starting Strength.

>>40972722
So tall!

BF % is a load of garbage so don't bother. There's no real way to figure it out. Even the expensive scans are inconsistent.

>>40972394
You'll ruin your metabolism if you lower your calories to much, expecially if you are exercising alot as well. Look what happens to those biggest loser people. Better to cut slowly.

>>40972664
Make sure your knees don't go past your toes that fuccked me bad once I got lifting heavier.

>>40972761
Those biggest loser people were never taught how to eat properly or how to exercise or lead an active life.

They ate rabbit food and clean as fuck, took certain vitamins, and were put through a soul grinding boot camp for the enjoyment of obese people everywhere.

They didn't gain it back from metabolic damage. They gained it back from going back to their old habits of way too much food, too little exercise, on top of injuries they probably sustained in those insane workouts.

>>40972745
right? i never understood the need for bodyfat % i just included it anyway. also im not sure it 176 is tall... just average i think

on another note, I am completely new to working out... any tips yall could give a brother whos just starting to go to the gym?

>>40972761
>You'll ruin your metabolism
This is a meme. The key is to make sustainable changes to your diet. This is why crash diets almost always fail, you torture yourself for a while and then go back to eating unhealthy

>>40972802
>Crash diets fail
They don't actually. You do in fact drop fat and weight.
The problem is that they don't fucking know how to eat properly to maintain that weight loss, up their daily activity level, do any form of resistance exercise and or cardio, and on some level they want to get fat again because they and everyone around them identify them as being fat and want to slip back into that.

my best friend weighs over 400 pounds, and nothing my friends or I try do can can motivate himself to do the work. "it's my genetics". i feel bad, i wish there was more we could do

That's a super low intake anon.
Try upping it a bit as that low can really fuck with you, exhaustion, over training, hormone issues, loose skin, possible bingeing, and gallstones.

I'm my late 20ties now and have decided to get rid of my beer gut now, because fuck that noise. I used to be quite fit in my uni days, so I'm quite confident that I can pull through this. So far things are going quite alright. I'm crossfitting, threadmilling and rowing away like a merry motherfucker.
I do have a few questions, though, maybe you can help me out.

>is there any way to specifically focus on my gut fat? (Probably not, right?)
>How do I fasten up the skin again?

How do you crossfit exactly? Is it a class with other people?

No way to focus gut fat. Stop avoiding carbs like a retard and focus on eating healthy carbs - vegetables, whole fruit, whole grains.

What about loose skin?

Kiddo, I'm around 350 lbs right now and I never fucking ate more than maybe a 250 g of cheese in one sitting. I'd be shitting cheese from every hole in my body if I ever had to eat more than that, and we're talking about real Polish cheese here, not some amerifat "yellow" cheddar.

Reminder to eliminate soda from your diet, even diet soda.

I used to drink 4-5 cans of soda a day and I haven't had a drink of it for 6 months now. I recommend starting with sweet tea which has just as much sugar but helped me break the habit of the taste of soda. Now I drink unsweetened. You can also get flavored sparkling water which tastes weird at first but if will eventually grow on you at some time.

Trust me anons it will be hard once you start but once you get in the mindset that soda isn't something you consume I don't notice it's missing anymore.

>>40972969
I have no idea. Use moisturizer maybe? A topical vitamin A/C/E maybe?

I don't really know. Depending on how overweight you are, you may end up with loose skin. Having more muscle will help fill you out. Some people opt for surgery to have some excess skin removed. Again, it depends how overweight you are.

Remember that being fat can't be covered up with clothes like loose skin can, and that being fat is destroying your health. So even if you end up with loose skin and can't pay for surgery, you're still better off.

And nah, I'm not even obese, I'm just fucking sick of my gut. The rest of me looks quite alright, if I do say so myself.

>>40973101
If you're not obese or elderly, you'll probably be fine. Just use moisturizer.

If any fatty wants to do cardio but knees/ankles can't handle the impact of running, I'd like to endorse water running.
Apparently it burns about ~800kcal/hour with good intensity and it's pretty fucking hard to injure yourself. Just be sure to check out youtube or something for proper technique to get most out of it.

Is Dr. fung's work reliable? i don't really care if he thinks calories in calories out is bs but he says that you lose the same or sometimes even less lean mass while fasting for long periods of time vs for example a 1200 calorie diet.

>>40973159
I remember watching a YouTube video on squating stances by some physical therapist it fixed me up great. My stance is pretty damn wide 6' 3" now but very comfy. Essentially you should be able stand with your toes against a wall and squat down to parallel, can't do it? Widen legs.

You aren't counting calories right or are expecting results too fast. Keep at it for a month and you should see loss.

You don't have to do any exercise to actually lose weight, but it does help your general health and well-being

>>40973200
Do some cardio at home for now, if you're so scared. Anything, even a fucking Wii with Punch Out, just try moving your ass more often and keep counting calories, nothing else matters for now. Go to the gym when you lose a bit and feel more confident.

>Thanks anon just worried I'll die from cardio hahaha
Post your stats. I'm sure I weight more than you, and I can do cardio normally, just without putting pressure on my knees - but it's still possible.

>>40973262
How long have you been at it?
You can lose weight consistently for 3 weeks or so and not see it on the scales due to water weight or shit.

so I'm 6'3 285 lbs down to 274 as of this morning.
I have not been counting calories very much. more just changed what i eat.
no more fast food, no more soda, no more booze, no candy ( occassional coke zero when i really just have to drink something other than water or coffee)
I've been lifting 3 days a week and walking the dog for an hour or so as often as i can through out the week. I intend to start couch to 5k soon, i'm just a little leary because my lungs are fucked from smoking for too long. I have not quite kicked that habit yet. Advice would be welcome there.

anyways would couch to 5k be better after lifting on lifting days or in between lifting days for max recovery time

>>40973280
6 foot 105kg >>40973291
>>40973291
A week now anon. Remember when I was 145kg years ago and would lose 1-2 each week consistently, dieting now though isn't giving me the same results

>>40973291
truth i sat at the same weight for like 3 weeks after starting working out then seemed to drop like 3 pounds a day for a week

>>40973291
Have been drinking 2-4 liters a day for the first time ever. Going for a whole body scan at my local gym to find my body composition on two weeks

>>40973291
This
People should use tape with the scale.
You could be stagnant on the scale and jeans go from tight to fall off.

>>40973321
I'm 145 kg at 6. I'm the anon who you've been talking to. You literally can do any form of exercise, I want to start doing squats when I hit 120 kg, so you have nothing to worry at 105 kg.

>>40973326
This gives me hope anon

>>40973321
Just stick to it. As long as you are counting right then you are losing weight.

It's also easier to lose weight the fatter you are, so might just feel a bit harder now than before.

>>40973347
Thanks anon, I might bite the bullet and do some tonight, even if it's a brisk walk around the block... Gotta start somewhere

>>40973350
Thanks bro
Means a lot to have some support.
I'll post results when I see them and my body comp for advice and what not when I get it

>>40973355
Do the SS training from the sticky for now. Do it A B A one week and B A B next week, one day of rest between trainings, two days of rest after the third one. They give you the basic training stuff for A and B in the sticky article, use that for now and you're good to go for the first few months.

Uni is back and I'll be cheating for the next 3-4 days. Is it better to continue to count calories, knowing I'm going over, or just leave it and come back in a week? I've had 6 weeks of food entered so I don't want to destroy that streak, but I also don't want to see those massive red lines pop up for days and days in a row

>>40973384
If you are going to cheat, own up to it.

>>40971651
/fat/ It's only been four days and I want soda and sour gummy worms so much.

Well, not enough to actually go consume either, but the desire is there. I currently leave weekends to eat junk (still within my daily caloric limit) though.

>>40973479
If you drop sweets all together (diet soda, too) after a month or two the cravings become more muted. You start getting used to the natural flavorings in food, now that you're no longer being bombarded by processed stuff.

>>40973507
I'll give it a shot. I only drink water/coffee M-F as it is, so I might just try dropping soda altogether.

>>40972791
Find a routine to follow so you know what your doing, what your using. Try to go when it's slow and for your first times, always have a spotter for bench.

>>40973479
start by doing some sweets with sweetener yourself. There are some recipes online. Less calories, and you can slowly stop eating them when the cravings get smaller.

>>40972937

Long answer

What is considered skinny fat? I have a small stomach but I have like a stomach hip gap, I'm guess I'm chunky but not morbidly obese but according to my manlet Mexican height, I'm obese. 3 years ago I lost 32 lbs but I kinda gained most of it back. I don't lift but cardio and walking is what made me lose most of the weight 3 years

Should I just start lifting to lose all the gut and remain the current weight I am or just doing cardio and diet till I lose at least 30-40 lbs?

300lbs fatshit here. dropped about 40lbs in the last 4-5 months with some loose dieting and just the excercise i get at work. i need to learn some self control, better eating and how to excercise. i bought weights but i tend to just ignore them. posted alarms on my pc and phone to remind me to stop being a lardo and actually use em. I hurt my knee 2 years ago at work and i walk on the sides of my feet. How do i into cardio lads? i know lift isnt going to get me trim.

>half way through normal cardio HIIT routine
>feeling really good, feel like I could add sets no problem
>rest period
>bottom of my foot starts hurting too much to put weight on

I fucking hate this. I probably could have powered through the last half, but I still have a 5 mile walk today too.

>>40974617
>I walk on the sides of my feet
how the fuck dude.

And lifting will get you far, you'd be fine with just that. But an elliptical, stationary bike, or swimming sounds right up your alley.

>>40974663
not straight up on the sides of my feet but my wieght distribution is prettyfucked up. it's called supinated ankles. Now that i have insurance through work i should really go to an orthopedic doctor or a podiatrist or something. Ive noticed a lot of old and fat people have it. If you ever see people with the heels on their shoes worn down at a hard angle, that's what it is.

Will intermittent fasting and an hour of intense cardio help significantly or should I try something different?

>>40974912
Sorry meant to put an hour of cardio 4-5 days a week

>>40974912
No, don't skip breakfast. Don't skip any meals, if you want to lose weight.
Man gotta eat after all. Just watch what you are eating and try to avoid carbs (sugars) in the evenings.

Cardio is always a solid choice. You go on truck ahead.

>>40974849
While trying not to sound like an asshole, how about fixing whatever is making you anorexic? There is usually something more behind eating disorders, right?

There is literally nothing wrong with IF

>>40974975
I am not too familiar with that particular method, but what about the metabolism?

How can a body be expected to burn energy reserves, when you are conditioning it to save energy instead?
Point me out, if I'm wrong, but that doesn't sound like a good way to lose weight to me.

How fat do I look with clothes on, lads? Lost 50lbs in the last year and a half. Still want to lose about 25 more. Been lifting at home and hiking in the woods. I'm not trying to get "built," I just want to get down to a healthy weight and look. I'll never look like the skinny-as-a-stick, fashionable dudes because of my frame.

It's been a slow and steady process, but I've felt better ever since I started. Down to a size 1XL in shirts and 38 pants. Haven't felt this good since I was in middle school.

t. 6'4" 265lb

>>40975033
>How can a body be expected to burn energy reserves

because during a fast that's all there is to run on.

It's also a good method of curbing hunger and cravings. Since in general your meals will be bigger and having that window where you are allowed to eat makes it easier to ignore hunger outside of that window. It's tough at first but you get used to it pretty fast.

>>40975056
looks normie in a good way man.

also don't use moderate exercise to calculate your TDEE, even if you DO do moderate exercise. Just to be on the safe side.

>>40975080
>also don't use moderate exercise to calculate your TDEE, even if you DO do moderate exercise
Yeah, that seemed really high. I've been sticking to around 2500 or less calories, though I'm not real strict about it. I just try to keep the exercise regular and keep moving up in weights. I've started to carry my rifle and a backpack when I hike just to add weight and not let my body get too used to the routine.

ehhh not 100%.
There's a different between man boobs from fat, and man boobs from hormone issues called Gynecomastia.
If your chest feels like fat and is squishy then it's just fat and will go away with body fat reduction.
If however it's tender and has actual mass or perkiness then it may be gynecomastia.

Unfortunately the only 100% fix is surgery, there is some drugs that have been known to lower breast tissue, if you're worried go see your local GP.

Increasing your pec muscle size will also work to have it a bit more firmer looker.

>>40975487
Tall dude from pic above. I lost mine from weights more than cardio. Hiking is great for stamina, and it does build your legs and glutes, but lifting is more intense weight loss.

I do high reps, 20-25. Curls, triceps, walking lunges with weights, situps, pushups, lap pulldown, kettle bell swing, and bench press. That's basically my whole workout. Nothing special, but it gets my whole body. Don't be ashamed to start out low weight and build up. Just keep going with it and don't stop.

Like I mentioned earlier, I do it at home. I never benefited from gyms in the past. I don't have a schedule at home. I just do it when it suits me. Mostly dumbbells rather than bars.

try not to weight yourself on tiles, they arent 100% even, so you probably get different result for every set of tiles you pick

or mark the tiles and use the same ones over and over again. the absolute value doesnt matter, the scale will pick up the differences though, so you can still track weight loss

Yeah it's usually a difference of 2kg either way, and i just fanagle until i get the lowest weight within reason.

I've only got carpet and tiles so I assumed tiles as better, I use a measuring tape as well just waist and neck but might start doing bicep and thigh as well.

>>40975566
>Hiking is great for stamina, and it does build your legs and glutes, but lifting is more intense weight loss.

I really really hope nobody takes what you say seriously. Lifting weights as cardio is stupidly inefficient. Might as well dig a tunnel with a spoon.

>>40975680
You're too short for this ride, anon. I never said to replace cardio with lifting, I said lifting is better for losing weight. Cardio only burns calories equal to your activity. If you lift, you're burning calories from those muscles no matter if you're sitting on your ass the rest of the day.

>>40975748
Actually I remember reading a while back about the afterburn effect of cardio
http://greatist.com/fitness/afterburn-effect-keep-burning-calories-after-workout
It essentially raises your TDEE the next day.

Who here /longterm/?
183cm, went from 98 to 76kg over the last year and a bit. I'm doing a sort of IF/low-fat hybrid with cheat weekends, I guess the closest thing with a name would be the warrior diet.
I know I could lose a lot faster, but I already did keto for half a year, lost a lot of weight while feeling like shit and constantly craving carbs, started giving myself breaks and yoyoed back before I knew it.
This is the first thing I feel like I could stick to, without denying myself any type of food for life, and with the prospect of going hungry less as I transition from deficit to maintenance. I learned to deal with hunger and that I don't need to feel satiated every waking minute.

Answer me guys

is those weight scales, thats not digital, (like the 20 dollar and under ones) are they accurate?

im sorta one of those "if its cheap, it isn't accurate" type.

>>40975816
They'll do fine, get those and a cheap couple buck measuring tape.
Take measurements and use the scales, it doesn't matter if the scales are 100% accurate as the downward trend is the more important thing.

>>40975816
Do you really care?
As long as the number is smaller than the last time you stepped on it, what does it matter if it shows 50 or 150?

does anyone here eat salad with a topping, like ranch?

i always eat my salads plain, even when i ate a salad when i was obese, i didn't eat it with any ranch

just seems like it defeats the whole purpose of eating the salad

>>40975923
nope.
No idea why people do that, was staying at my mothers place for a bit and had a kiev+salad for dinner.
She was offering me mayo on the salad....

>>40975923
I put salsa on most things because it gives it a nice kick and adds very little calories

>>40975923
Depends on the salad, leaf-heavy compositions with lots of lettuce/spinach/cabbage feel like chewing hay, but stuff like tomato+cucumber+onion+bell pepper are fine with just salt and pepper and maybe a piece of garlic pressed into it.

Move around more, even just go for a walk will wake you up.
Ironically sitting at home all day means you have no energy.
When you wake up make your bed immediately, productivity has a snow ball effect so the idea is doing something small right at the start of the day leads you into being more productive later.

The techniques are really only for skinnier lads, who have a few more pounds to loose but have some stubborn fat that just won't go away. They run a deficit, but just lose muscle...ect.

Book goes into a lot of detail about why these techniques actually work and target this fat. I recommend just reading it. I read it years a go and forgot most of it. One of the main issues, though, is bloodflow. And, surprisingly, heating an area of your body can increase it's bloodflow and give that fat an easier chance to be metabolized. (sounds like mom-bro science, but there is some evidence)

here is the takeaways from the book

>>40976684

That asterisk tho...

Just joshing you familia, keep it up. Although I don't recommend keto for fatties on a cut. It comes right back once you drop that eating routine.

You're targeting fat by taking those sups, at that time period, doing that fasting, and doing that specific cardio.

>>40971696
muscles weight more then fat, so if you're building muscles while losing fat you may gain weight.
it's normal.

>>40976258

This is wrong, that's exactly what he is doing any why he's frustrated.

Weighing yourself more often gives more info, just take averages. You can even use the info to notice things that cause you to gain water weight.

>>40976855
Just depends on the person really, no wrong or right way to weigh yourself.

Personally I enjoy weighing myself often as I enjoy seeing how to fluctuates and what foods do what to my weight, plus I can see how big my shits are.
Some people on the other hand are more stressers and thus weighing themselves once a week stops them from obsessing

>>40976826

Lab mice which had their ability to taste sweet flavors surgically disabled gained less weight than normal lab mice when fed an identical sugar enriched diet. Even when eating thwith same amount of calories, flavor by itself apparently has a big impact on how much calories your body will try to store as fat.

I'm a 176 cm 62 kg lanket

According to the US Navy bodyfat calculator I'm at 10% bodyfat with a 35cm neck and a 74cm waist

I wanna gymcel this summer for at least 3 months. Estimate my final weight in 3 months. And suggest what I can do to get there.

>>40976907

Are you saying you can target subcutaneous fat versus generic fat?
Because that's 100% wrong, nor can you target specific areas of fat which is the spot reduction myth.
Good day anon

>>40976923
oh my
Firstly this is not the appropriate thread.
Secondly, just eat and lift, begin with a full body workout and then once you stall transition to a split of some time, no point in estimating weight and all that bullshit.
Thirdly, don't gymcel, you don't need to gymcel to spend barely a couple hours a week at gym depending on your routine, nor do you need to gymcel to eat enough. you'll just end up with no friends and no routes to reconnecting.
GG well played.

>>40976933
>Are you saying you can target subcutaneous fat versus generic fat?
Yea if you're already lean.
>nor can you target specific areas of fat which is the spot reduction myth.
But you can, though. Not well. But you can. If you heat an area of your body, the blood flow will be greater, and fat will have a better time being utilized

starting to think this 3,500kcal = 1 pound of fat malarkey is BS

>>40976855

>Calls 1/week weigh in wrong
>proposes multiple weigh in a week as being right

If you're that stressed out about fraction of a lb variations, you've got bigger problems than the excess fat you carry around.

Then again you sound like one of those "I always have to be right" types

>>40976972
You are just completely wrong, enjoy those heat wraps

it's not quite that dead on, but it's pretty accurate.**
Why are you doubting it?


**accurate enough for weightloss purposes

Hey guys i have an exercise bike if I go on it every day for 30 minutes will I lose weight?

Sorry for bad punctuation fingers too fat to type properly

>>40977022
Yes, if you also eat less than you burn.

>>40977022

Not if you eat like a fat ass. Weight loss is like 95% diet

>>40977022
Google a TDEE calculator, subtract 500cal/2000kj from that amount and count calories to that amount each day and stop eating at that point, use myfitnesspal and a scale to keep track of your intake.
You can't outrun your fork, don't bother trying.
Weight yourself each morning after pissing/shitting and use a measuring tape as well.
Don't bother attempting to do it all in one go, make slow baby steps to slowly eat better, you'll be drawn to healthier food in order to feel fuller from less calories as healthier food is less calorie dense than take out.
Good luck anon

>no scales
>no kitchen scales
>no measuring tape

End me

>>40977058
wtf do you mean by no desire?
Buy them online then if you don't want to go out.

Ok thanks anons

I didn't know that weight loss was 95% food, I thought it was 75% exercise 25% food. I exercised a lot before but didn't lose much weight so that's why probably.

Sucks to eat less food but i will have more money so whatever. Thanks again

The fraction of the pound has nothing to do with his stress, it's the lack of progress. Weighing more often may show that he was losing weight but one day of salt or something screwed it up, which could reassure him.

You're projecting your own fragility onto other people to the point of telling someone to do exactly what they did in order to change. He said he weighed himself once a week and you said he should weigh himself once a week as a solution.

You sound like a woman with arrested development.

I fucking hate fat people

Been weighing myself and looking in the mirror more often, almost every day, and it's making progress move at a glacial drip pace.
How do I take my mind off the whole thing and just let time elapse.

REEEEEEE I don't know if im obese or fat or skinny or whatever I've been 250 pounds at 5'7 now like 170 pounds but its stupid I cant decide to cut or bulk. My love handles feel like bones but they're big and I look like a fish bit the part between lats and hips from me

>>40977183
Perhaps, as mentioned further up, swap to weekly weigh ins, combine this with using a tape measure once a week should help.
Hide the scales somewhere so you're not getting on them compulsively.
Beyond that I can't really help, I much prefer the day by day approach myself as otherwise the time aspect of weightloss is overwhelming, one day of being at a deficit at a time for me.

How am I obese?

6'4
Waist 44
Hips 43
Neck 14
250 Ib

258 6'0 fatty here.

What's a good workout and dieting plan if I plan on joining the military or police force?

>>40977183
find something to do, a project you can focus on
volunteer in a charity shop or something if you're NEET. it's good social practice and you only ever talk to old biddies.

>>40977205
You may have to go fridge mode.
You're probs in that awkward skinny phase.
would you rather be fat for a bit while you bulk, or skinny for a bit while you cut.
Personally I would vote cut down all the way, and then bulk, otherwise you'll have a bunch extra to cut after bulking.

What are maintenance calories? Is that how much food you eat per day to stay at your current weight? If I eat less than that and exercise more, will I lose weight?

Is the TDEE calculator in the sticky accurate? Because it's kicking out 3280 for me and that seems huge.

>>40977229
a lot of fat, son

>>40977089

Diet is the biggest factor by far when it comes to losing weight. In the beginning it's rough, but if you stick with it, you'll educate yourself on making better food choices out of necessity. As in "wow if I eat a lot of carb heavy meals and stay under my calorie limit, I'm fucking starving all the time. Oh hey, meat keeps me full longer. Oh hey, chicken is cheap and keeps me full." And so on and so forth

>>40977229
You have a fucking 44inch waist, are you serious?

>>40977133

Kek, struck a nerve I see

>>40977254
Maintence calories is eating at exactly your Total daily energy expenditure, which is the amount you have to eat for your body to maintain, that is not to gain weight or lose weight.
Eating less than your TDEE will mean you lose weight, generally go for 500calories less.

>>40977254
>Is that how much food you eat per day to stay at your current weight?
TDEE yeah. If you increase your cardio, but stay at the same caloric level you'll lose weight.

Hi I drink 8-9 cups of tea every day with 3 sugars in each cup. Is this over the daily sugar limit?

I have a shit ton of homework and exams this week
I think i'm going to miss the gym and i'm scared that will snowball
pls help

>>40977307
easily
also that's too much tea

>>40977286
Oh cool thanks. Also is it dangerous to lose weight too quickly? I think I could eat 1000 less per day but my friend told me it would fuck my body up or something

>>40977330
Use the gym as a tool to clear your head to help you study. If you can't do that, skip the gym, school is more important.

>>40977307
Pretty sure that's only the amount in a bottle of coke anyway.
You'll be fine, at those quantities i'd be more worried about your teeth desu, all that tea will stain them.
>>40977330
Any chance you could do just some general body weight stuff? probs good for you anyway, take a break from studying every 30mins or so and do some pushups or situps or planks or squats or some shit

>>40977330
You should go to the gym in between hw for a bit. Take a break after 2-4 hours.

>>40977351
Generally it's advised the lowest you go is daily intake of 1200cal for women, and 1500cal for men.
Below that and it's gross, however if you're new to weightloss I would advise not cutting that hard as you'll just end up bingeing, take small baby steps, and slowly build discipline.

Been at the same weight for 2 months...Is this a "weight loss plateau"? What can I do differently to start losing weight again? I eat the same amount of calories and do the same exercises

>>40977431
Just means you are eating at TDEE, drop calories

>>40977431
2 months is the point at which I begin to question your calorie counting, a plateu usually only lasts 1month max.
Firstly have you recalcualted your TDEE after losing weight?
How accurately do you count calories?
How do you keep track?
Are you recording everything that touches your mouth?
What about cheat meals/alcohol?

>>40977229
>98 fat mass
>female

It looks like you set it to female. Which would make you a blob. If male and cut then take note those things don't take into account muscles.

How long does it take for a fatty to lose weight? I'm 250 lbs. If I start cardio for half an hour/day and eat 500 fewer calories/day as I read above, will I see any noticeable results in 2 months? Or does it take longer? Not expecting to be thin necessarily, just how long it takes to first see even a small amount of change. My main motivation to lose is that my face finally got fat and i can't deal with it

>>40977469
there are 3500 calories in 1lbs of fat, eating at a 500 calorie deficit from your total daily energy expenditure for 7 days will be 1lbs of fat.

>>40977469
You can do 1-2 lbs a week for a while before it gets harder. If just starting its possible to lose 10-20 lbs first few months from water weight and immediate calorie reduction, such as no more soda and such.

>>40977486
>>40977492
Was about to answer him but you guys beat me to it, good work /fat/ keep spreading the good word

>>40977457
>>40977450
TDEE says I should be eating 2.6k calories to maintain weight, and I've been eating at 1500 since I started to this weight loss, which was on December 1. Should I decrease it even further?
I put everything I eat/drink into MFP(except water)
I don't drink alcohol and cheat meals are once a month. I record everything that I eat, even the smallest things.

>>40977528
Bump up activity instead.

>>40977528
Well I mean something isn't adding up if you haven't lost anything for that long and you're confident in your counting.
If you're 100% sure, I would suggest checking with your GP incase of thyroid issues.
You could also be under going body comp, very unlikely but have your lifts been increasing/your measurements been decreasing?

>>40977553
>>40977563
Measurements exactly same, and lifts have been increasing, but only very little. Should I start to do even more cardio? I do 1.5 miles a day, with a pace of around 8min/mile.

>>40974617
I used to walk on the sides of my feet as well. Been morbidly obese my whole life. 400lbs at age 15, got down to 280 by the time I graduated high school, then slowly crept back up to 350 over the past 4 years. I'm now back down to 326 as of last week, weigh in tomorrow. I've always waddled more than walked, but I think I'm getting better with it. I go for long walks and focus on my form. Sometimes I'll even force myself to walk on the insides of my feet to try to stretch/strengthen the muscles. It's probably terrible for my ankles though. Just take walks and focus on walking properly, might help you out.

Hey I exercised for 60 minutes yesterday on an exercise bike. First time in years and I started pissing blood after. Luckily my piss is normal again now but it spooped me. Should I see a doctor?

Also can I have saturdays and sundays off exercise or do i have to keep going every day?

>>40977580
More cardio can never hurt but you shouldn't need to to lose weight further, if you're 100% confident in your counting go see a GP, there a certain conditions that can effect weightloss.
>>40977598
Firstly, there is no need to excersise that much to lose weight
read this post -> >>40977044
As far as the piss, you may have just been very dehydrated, I would go see a doc just to be safe though.

>>40977598
Jesus christ dude. Yes, go see a doctor as soon as fucking possible. Pissing blood is NOT normal under any circumstances. Might be you triggered a kidney stone to pass and it's now in your ureters.

Exercise as much as you want. Taking the weekend off is fine.

>>40977469
You're gonna be ready for summer. 2018.

>guys how I undo years of nutritional abuse in a couple of months

How to lose fat on my torso? I look very normal, but when I take my shirt off it's disgusting. I've been running more, and eating less. Haven't helped though.

Hey /fit/, if I get thin will society like me again? Or am I hated forever because I was a former fatty?

>>40977698
>How to lose fat on my torso?
lift and eat less.

>>40977698
Gotta lose weight through diet. Your torso is fat because that's where your body is storing all those extra calories you've saved up for winter.

>>40977700

the only people who hate exfatties are the fat acceptance people, and you don't want their company anyway.

>>40977357
Nope. I wont be able to finish everything as it is. I have two exams back to back and homework assigned with it and homework in another class. My college is on spring break after Friday, so we're getting 2 weeks of work.

Hey guys, I started really counting calories and cutting shit out of my diet last week. Was 6'1 237 lbs, but down to 230 in one week. I had roughly 1400 calories a day on average, but I'm sedentary as fuck. Is it normal to go down that much or is my scale broken?

Should I start on the amount of exercise i want to do or gradually build up to it?

>1 tb of soy oil is like 120 calories almost as much as 2 eggs

>>40977829

>>40977834
Use a few tablespoons of water or bouillon. No reason to add fat to your diet.

>>40977844
I still live with my family and much of what they get is junk food. Went from downing multiple sodas and other crap a day to basically water, black coffee and oatmeal/protein bars

I think the only reason I got big was because I'm a lazy shit, not necessarily because of the food
