HELP

>>42403248
How are you measuring your BF%?

>>42401612
Your brain can only run on glucose, so if you don't eat any carbs, your body begins to degrade proteins (google "urea cycle") just for some brain food. And that's a waste of muscle

>>42403259

An electronic scale. I know they are somewhat of a meme but its still saying the same when it was going down previously.

>>42403143
5'11" here too, 166 now but was 140 a while ago. At 140 was pretty nice and slim, but also had absolutely no muscle or weight lifting experience whatsoever so it'd probably be a higher weight now with the muscle. Probably depends on bf%

time to lift

18 years old, 175 cm, 66-something kilos
In no way do I want to get buff, I just want to look slimmer. How much weight would I have to lose to manage to do that?

>>42403310
Are you me?

>>42403313
Will it actually help? I stopped losing weight when I reached 80 the first time and started lifting but there was no effect, which is why I have been cutting to (so far) 65. I guess now that I'm at 65 it will magically become effective?

>>42403338

I'm going back to uni in about a month and am going to be eating at the cafeteria there. Usually eat the same thing every day; eggs, Greek yogurt, protein bars, salmon and lentils. Seriously doubt most of that will be available daily. Also a pescatarian.
Any advice for sticking to healthy things without having to buy a lot? Have a meal plan and don't want to waste that but also really want to stay on track as I feel so much better when I am.

>>42403353
5x5 deadlifts, squats, bench press and 3x10 back extension for 3 months

>>42403379
were you adding weight?
what was your calorie intake? protein?

I literally don't know how you couldn't see progress doing that for that long.
But yeah if you just go back to that or SS/SL/GSKP, but with a calorie surplus and a lot of protein you'd probably look a lot better than you do now in a couple months.

Anyone here have back pain because of how fat they are? I have a bad back already, but my weight makes it worse.

Feels bad man.

>>42403532

Please realize your choices in life and pick the right one

>>42403406
I went from 1pl8 deadlifts to 2pl8, half-pl8 presses to 1pl8, back extension was at 100lbs at the end (don't recall what it started at), and squats were at 1.5pl8 starting at 1pl8.
I was doing ~1g protein per lb.
Of course I saw progress, but not the progress I care about foremost (getting rid of the fucking mantits and belly).
Although I also don't know if my progress was good or bad, but at least it was going somewhere.

My fat ass self started going to this local gym two months ago, been cutting good and working out.

Then three days ago I unknowingly scraped the back end of one of the owner's brand new bmw with my shitbox in the tiny ass parking lot. I sorted it out with her yesterday, and it took a lot of strength to overcome my autism and go to the gym the same day. I'm not going to bitch out, I'll keep going, but how do I overcome the awkwardness of damaging her brand new car in what seems to be something she purchased in pride of her success? Fuck, it makes me not want to go back there.

>>42403997
Put it behind you, you can't change what has already happen.

>>42403710
well your only options are to start lifting or keep cutting. But if you are pushing underweight I'd say just bulk a bit, accept that you might gain some fat back and then cut.
Even if you still have some fat in those areas after you'd look better than if you just kept cutting until they were gone.

>>42403364

that happens to me when I haven't eaten much during the day, it's not really a good sign, yeah. Stop following meme diets.

Wait, can you seriously just log onto MyFitnessPal, not put anything on it, and still get your streak extended simply for being on the page? I was out late last night running errands and didn't get home until after midnight, realized that I didn't log any food, but the fact that I went on the website before running errands extended my streak?

How does anyone in these threads who is trying to lose weight allow peanut butter in their house? It's not just you anon, but so many of the fucks in this thread eat peanut butter, once of the most dense caloric foods ever, and think it's all going to be okay. It's batshit insane. Throw it away. Just fucking dump it.

(eating a lot today because I will do a full day fast tomorrow which I do every sunday)

Weekends are horrible.
I get so restless sitting infront of the screen, not having any obligation to get up early on Saturday or Sunday. Lonely - knowing I will stare at this blue screen all day, and my only comfort is food and beer.
Then I get hung over, skips gym as I had planned to go to, eat two portions of pizza. Had frozen them in different plastic bags for it to keep more days, but hey, why not take two of them.
And ice cream, since I had intended for that to be my cheat this weekend. A good, tasty, expensive ice cream that I would cherish. Hah, ate half of it after the pizza..

A part of me rationalize it with having a fresh start. Like now, I technically don't have much junk food in the house since I ate it. So next week will probably repeat itself. I will not eat much from Monday till Thursday, decide that since it's weekend, I should get a treat, and that includes alcohol, since some deluded part of me wishes to be invited to a gathering with actual people and have a few beers and a good time (tfwnogf). Not sure if I want beer or wine, so why not both?

It's mostly lonely.

>>42403532
Stop drinking alcohol at least for a while

>>42406729
If you can't handle over eating shit then you should throw it away. I don't keep zebra cakes and Doritos in my home because I know I'd just eat it all. Everyone has their weakness.

Why not just toss the pee nut bluber?

>>42406762
>my only comfort is food and beer.

It sounds very miserable relying on happiness on such dangerous and capricious things. I don't want to sound high and mighty but look into Buddhism and meditation.

>Then I get hung over, skips gym as I had planned to go to, eat two portions of pizza. Had frozen them in different plastic bags for it to keep more days, but hey, why not take two of them.

You can see your own cycle of destruction and suffering... the wise thing to do is to not repeat that same cycle of sufffering. Restraint is the key. again, sorry If I seem high and mighty but this verse is very relevant to us here in /fat/:


Verse 231. The Person Of Bodily Discipline

Rough action one should guard against,
be with body well-restrained,
bad bodily conduct having shed
train oneself in good.

Explanation: Guard against the physical expression of emotions. Be restraint in physical behaviour. Give up physical misconduct. Practice wholesome physical behaviour.

>>42406762
>not having any obligation to get up early on Saturday or Sunday
Go to Church.

>>42406762
>>42406853
Unironically this. Doesn't even matter if you don't believe in it. Church is a wholesome environment that will take you in and help you get to know locals.

>>42406812
I forgot masturbation though. It's in there somewhere too. Leaves me drained and the hung over horniness is a bitch. It doesn't give me anything, it's just a chore.
My biggest issue is the time aspect. It's so long till I'm in demand. 60 hours or so where nobody has any expectations of me, it's too much. I don't know what to do with it. What makes it a paradox is that if I have plans, my entire weekend is ruined.
I got plans to play tennis tomorrow, and I will go, but I can't help but to obsess over it. It's been like that for a while, when I was studying aka not attending lectures, I was a volunteer in a student group. Even if I had a shift a month in advance, I just counted down to the horror of having to do it. All the things that could go wrong, all the things I would mess up. The simple things "everyone" knew, I failed to do. Common anxiety really.

It's so frustrating to having to work against your upbringing, your thoughts, your emotions, while receiving no support (some of the issue is that I don't see support for what it is), and at the same time using the same "broken" mental mind to fix or deal with what's broken.

>>42405516
1. Learn to fucking type and use proper grammar.
2. It sounds like you have an appetite but just for shitty foods. Just keep eating healthy and resist temptation and hopefully they will go away.

>>42406897
> I just counted down to the horror of having to do it.
I feel you on this one

I do this all the time when I'm at work or at school instead of just living the moment, I'm somewhere else, either counting down the seconds until I'm free or figuring out ways to get out of the responsibility.

I say you learn some meditation, man. It's like the mental version of fasting. Go Heal, repair, relax, and be at ease.

>>42406762
>i'm lonely and have nothing to do
>i sit inside all day and stuff my face
>i skip the gym

You have the best kind of problems, ones you create for yourself. This is good becaue it means you can easily fix them. Wake up early and go to the gym. Go to the park for a walk. Try and make plans with people you know and if that's not an option then look into ways to meet new people. Get a fucking dog. Go make an account on a dating site. Fucking go do some bullshit hobby like bowling or golf. Create some amount of excitement in your life.

>my mind on keto
Lemme get uhhhhh a carton of eggs scrambled, the whole package of bacon and a gallon of water

>>42406981
That's true. I do however, have an issue with independence. I'm like a slave that's suddenly freed from his master and then left on his own. All that really happened in the analogy is that any stability and decissionmaking is now gone.
Riddled with anxiety when I'm outside. Doubting myself in every minute way. I don't want to do that, I want to have something constructive to go to. I have as long as I know wanted something to do, to look forward to when I had enough free time.
The issue is that I had the opposite problem, I had too much free time. I never understood how people could juggle spending time with friends, playing football, doing homework since I did neither of that.

Like with planning dinners for next week, or have some overreaching arc of what I'll have. What I end up doing is waiting till Monday. The whole day tomorrow will mostly be waiting for "eating healthy", and actively not eating crap. Constantly thinking about how I shouldn't eat cookies at work, have hot chocolate from the coffeemachine, and not use too much butter or any at all when searing whatever meat or vegetables I'm having. Not take two portions, but still make enough so it's enough for two so I have dinner for another day - another day of waiting with the exact same things.

I'm the kid that looked forward to school starting in holidays since that meant order and structure.
Another issue with working out and diet is that most of it comes from absence. You don't get three hours during the day between work and bed time where you eat healthy and improve or get enjoyment of doing the activity of eating healthy.

I guess i can say now that I look forward to Monday since that means going to the gym, and then I can be acclaimed as someone who went to the gym.

I'm somewhat aware of my issues, where they stem from, what they consists of, and while the solution seems straight forward, the act of not ruining the way to success is hard.

All I want is some god damn cake.

I've been on this diet for 2 months now. I've lost 20 pounds, but all I want is some fucking cake.

I don't even want that much cake, like a slice of vanilla cake. I could go to publix right now and get a slice of cake if I really wanted.

I can literally taste it. I know exactly what I would feel when it hit my tongue. I want it so god damn. I can't even describe with words how much I want to taste that cake right now.

Hell, I'd at least be at break even for today even if I got the cake, I bet I'd still be under TDEE. I've only eaten 1700 calories so far. One slice of cake isn't going to ruin my diet.

But I'm not going to get it. I can't buy that reasoning. I can diet all I want, but I'll never make it if I let myself think fat.

It's not about the calories, it isn't about the math. The impulse inside me that drives me to want that cake is the very reason I can't allow myself to have it. I'm not making deals with or rationalizing with that part of me anymore. I'm beating it into submission and dictating the terms.

Fuck that cake.

Have you had any cheat meals?

Cheat meals are actually great since they supposedly keep your body from "getting used to" healthy foods. I notice the most relief from the psychological boost they give. Keep them to where you go no more than 750 calories above TDEE and no more than once a week.

>>42407121
I felt like you for a long time. Trapped in a shitty cycle of drinking and fucking up everything on the weekends.

You've gotta find something. I've been going outside, alone, on hikes every weekend. At first it was a struggle but now I really look forward to it. I get up early just like I would for work, sometimes earlier, but I go to a trailhead instead of my job. It's really rewarding to complete a hike or reach a summit. I'm not saying it's gonna be your thing but it's a new hobby I've embraced that also fits in with my health goals. I know you can find something too.

You'd be way better off walking a further distance, than running a shorter one.

Weight loss is 90% diet and 10% exercise, I think your focus is in the wrong place. Count your calories and come up with a TDEE, eat below that. Thats how you lose weight.

do you get stronger boners when you lose weight?

If you are decently rotund young/middle age male, if you eat 1500-1800 calories a day, you will lose weight. Everything else besides that is window dressing. Religiously count your calories, weigh your food and eat that many calories and you will lose weight.

Be sure to eat foods high in fiber and or good fats, as those will make you feel full.

What hobbies do you guys have? Looking towards getting into some that require me to be somewhat active? I was looking at woodworking or welding.

How are you guys on social skills? I was hoping to improve them a bit, I can talk to people easily in a work environment but not so much in real caring way.

Lastly, what's your favorite thing to cook?

I must confess

>>42408204
I enjoy reading, writing, hunting, fishing, running, cooking, and hiking. My social skills are decent, I hang out with friends at least once a week. I like to cook chicken tacos or chicken enchiladas though since i've been losing weight (I've lost 85 lbs) I haven't had them much

I've been half-assing it at the gym

today I was doing well, logged into MFP and charted my calories, and was set to hit my calorie goal and then I went and ate two cinnamon rolls my mom brought home

I'm essentially falling back into a state of indifference. I want to keep losing fat but I've lost my drive

forgive me /fat/her

>>42408204
It's not something everyone can get into because space is an issue, but I enjoy gardening. Growing your own fruits and vegetables is rewarding and delicious.

My social skills still suck, yet they have improved. Perhaps finding friends online and talking to them in a call will help get you on the path.

I'm not going to lie...It's brownies with a dark chocolate ganache and buttered, salted pecans.
For something healthy, cutting a large pork loin into thick steaks and cooking them on the grill. Lots of proteins and awesome flavor. Tastes great with a spinach salad or cucumber and tomato salad.

>>42408289
Start counting your calories again,start putting effort into the gym and whenever your given a fatty food just throw it into the trash, only then can you be forgiven

I'm still in noob mode so I was only at 20kg press / 25kg row

I can't get into the habit of actually losing weight. Every week I put in a bunch of effort for a couple days, doing exercise and cutting 500 under or outright fasting, I half-ass a couple days with no exercise and maintenance, and one day I somehow wind up with a cheat that goes 500 or 1000 over maintenance. I wind up losing like a half lb a week.

How do I undo my retardedness and cut properly? I feel like I'm putting in a lot of work when I do it, even though I kind of hate it, but any kind of laziness or cheating cancels it out. Even on a perfect week, I only lose 1 or 2 lbs, and I never keep that up because I'm retarded. What can I do to coerce myself to actually drop 50lbs in less than a decade?

Just have your fucking cake. If you don't learn how to treat garbage food as a rare but normal treat you're not gonna make it. Someday in the far future you're gonna crack.

>>42402822
Anyone else here tried 5-HTP? I just got it today after perusing Examine.com about it, it's supposed to keep carb cravings down and thus far today it's worked like a charm. The science behind it seems legit

>>42407686
I wish Murrica had less calorific options for treats. Any other country offers smaller portions as well, and even the same portion size has half the sugar and less fat but is still a decent bit of cake.

MAXIMUM SUGAR is great sometimes but when its the only option, I don't even want it because I usually just want some normal fucking cake. We're capitalists, why are lardbaskets the only demographic that groceries cater to.

There is no magic trick. You just have to want it, got to make the decision that your health, looking good and getting mires from girls is more important than ordering that pizza. Once you can say no the first time, it becomes much easier to resist after.

>>42408736
Pizza has an insane amount of sodium so your body is now retaining 6 more lb of water. It will come off in a weeks time of regular sodium intake.

>>42408470
Your desire for your goal body needs to be stronger than the desire to put that extra 500-1000 calories in your mouth.

>8-10 lbs a week
and approximately how long do you expect to live

>>42408838
I mean I'm no expert myself but 8-10lbs/week is pretty fucking insane ins't it? That's the kind of shit you see on the Biggest Loser and they do nothing but cardio and shit every single day with world class trainers and their meals taken care of for them.

I had really bad crippling lower back pain.
When I dropped 40-50 lbs it mostly went away. Though I'm about 20-30 away from my goal so it stands to get better. You put in the effort and your back will love you for it, trust me.

370lbs / 28 m reporting in.
When do I start strength training? More than light cardio? I can't even touch my toes how the fuck am I supposed to pull off a proper squat form? and isn't it difficult to cut and strength train at the same time?
currently I'm eating at 50% deficit, low carb, enough protein, and whatever is left with fat.

>>42409810
I wouldn't start until you're close to your goal weight

can still lift just don't be trying to bulk and gain strength, just focus on losing weight first

>>42409810
If you start lifting now you won't get enough success to keep you motivated and you will fail at weightless AND weightlifting.

Better to just lose weight for now and succeed. Then you can build on your success later.

>>42409810
Just focus on cutting for now. If you stick to a 50% deficit you'll lose a lot of weight really fast. I would wait until you're at least under 300 before really worrying about lifting or serious exercise. Of course walking will do you plenty good though.

Also, what's your height? That really makes a big difference.

>>42409987
6'0"

>>42410008
6'0 at 370lbs puts you at a 50.2 BMI. I'd wait until you're closer to a 35 BMI before getting serious with the exercise. But really it's up to you, do what you think you're able and comfortable with and ask a doctor if you're truly unsure.

please, I had 286 (or around that) triglycerides after 2 months of keto diet

>>42411110
Wow 160 lost that's impressive, nice work. What's your goal weight?

>>42411173

155-160 and then I'll start to permabulk (+250cal) to build up some muscle mass, for now, the only progress I made into the gym are strength related which is really good, but i didn't gain any actual mass since 2 years ago, luckily I was enough active to have somehow a bit over average (for a 354lbs man) lean mass (big calves), anyway, losing weight it's the easy part, the hard part is the skin... The fun part is, I don't have excessive skin where you expected to be, genetics, go figure.

If your diet is on point and your losing weight each week just enjoy some junk on one day a week or every two weeks.

>>42412085
I don't have any diet.
I just eat less and eat something more healthy like fruit salads, chicken breasts or curd with banana mix.

>>42412131

There are a lot of those posts, but also a lot of other posts from people that lost a lot more. But yeah, for every one of those posts there are probably a couple other lurkers they tried for a week or two and gave up.

I remember there was this one guy that posted every day about how he was losing weight eating waffles and crepes every day because of IIFYM and people would call him a retard that was never going to make it, and then they just suddenly stopped one day.

So what is the recommended amount to lose without getting loose skin? It's about 2 lbs max you can lose a week right?

What happened to the fatfuck that posted his pic every day? Already gave up? He didn't even last a month.

>>42412163
Loose skin is more about your age and starting weight. If you are big enough there is no way to get rid of it without surgery, but EVERYONE is better off with loose skin than being obese.

2 lbs a week is just the maximum recommended sustainable loss rate for minimizing muscle loss.

>>42412172
I miss that guy. Really wanted him to make it.

>uni starting in a month

When I hit add food in the diary section it only suggest me to create my own meal and fill the callories myself.

Can anyone explain to me the concept of rewards and cheat days?

>>42412842
Misguided people think it makes it easier to persevere as you're "looking forward to your cheat day" and thus are less likely to cheat out of schedule. But in reality, all it does is make you want food real bad outside your cheat day.

>>42412842
>rewards
don't reward yourself for doing good. the 'I did so well at the gym today I deserve this ice cream' is how fat people fail

>cheat days
no one is perfect, sometimes you fuck up. Sometimes you go out with friends and want to have a good time.
Eat more than you typically would, but do your best not to go over TDEE, don't beat yourself up if you do, just go back to hitting your deficit.
A cheat day every other week isn't going to kill you as long as you are smart about it.

I think the best way is to cut that shit out of your life, do not associate it with 'good'. In fact do not associate pleasure as a 'good'. Pain and sacrifice that leads to meeting our goals in pursuance of virtue is the only 'good' make sure your values, your idea of virtue align with the actions you take and what you REALLY want in life and you'll not even want to eat shit food regardless of how it tastes.

>50lb fat loss
>40lb to go.

Will I make it?

>>42412842
>>42412877
>>42413152

Bro tip: you can't cut out tasty shit from your life completely and permanently. Unless you're the next embodiment of God, you will not be able to live the rest of your days on steamed veggies and turkey breast. If you believe that, you're still in "I'm on a diet" mode instead of a lasting lifestyle shift. And for that you need some form of unhealthy food management system and cheat days are just that.

>>42415663
Confidence increases social skills, losing weight takes effort, putting effort in things increases confidence.
Also you won't sperg out whenever you see your reflection somewhere.

I guess that doesnt matter if you were sperg before gaining weight. Does weight loss increases T level?

I'm looking but no dice. Main thing is humidity is like 98% outside with 35 degrees heat, secondly I don't want to see anyone, don't want to talk to anyone, one part of me just wants to die and disappear another part wants to improve and live my life. I'm just so fucking sad and out of energy all the time. I was diddled in the butt as a kid so I am distrustful of everyone I meet and I feel like half a man because of it.

You can't even weigh yourself properly, a task a 7 year old can accomplish but sure keep telling yourself that 10lb shits are possible.
Also C25K is a program designed for someone that is already in shape but wants to start running, not for morbidly obese people. All you are going to accomplish is to blow out your knees within 2 weeks.

Dropped from 220 to 211 but now it's stuck there. I guess it's time to change some things up with my diet and routine. I'm going to make it, and so will the rest of you.

In my >4 years of trying and failing, getting hurt by one of you peoples' meme workout programs and getting sick trying my damnedest to stick to one of you peoples' meme diets after another, the primary thing I've learned?

And I bet that's exactly what the sticky was engineered for, wasn't it? All of it and the rest of your "hurr broscience & supplements, durr worship roiders who die in their early 20's, herp cardio killz gainz, derp fat powerlifting the One True Way all else is gay" culture of circle-jerking idiocy is nothing but one giant troll.

Whelp. You did it. Successful troll is successful. Congratulations, you got me. Clap clap.

I wish I had never discovered /fit/, I wish I had just remained >400 lbs and hopeless instead of following your squatz and oatz dangling off the end of a stick, it slowly dawning on me that the only thing at the end of the line to was to look like a melted candle rather than a water balloon, to feel hope for the first time in my life only for it to be smashed over my head, and for what? For a few anonymous chucklefucks to have a giggle, m8y?

do things that lift your mood and keep you busy

cheat day,after a month...gonna reward myself with pb and j sandwhiches and a glass of whole milk.will i still make it?

don't think I've ever had a cheat day

I've told myself lots of times that when I reach the next milestone I'll allow myself one small indulgence, but what happens over and over again is I end up over my limit early in the day, write the whole day off as a failure and stuff my face on whatever is available until I go to sleep

On good days, I don't see a reason to cheat because it's wasting a good day.
But I don't choose the bad days, they strike at any time.

This has gone on for over a year now

>>42417474
Teach me how to be more autistic, senpai

>>42417448
start small work your way up. Start with counting calories and trying to eat under you TDEE. Then gradually increase that until you find the least amount you can eat without too much issue. It's a long process and the more you rush the more likely you are to fail

>>42417612
track literally EVERYTHING that enters your mouth.
If you suck cock and swallow, spit it out, weigh it, count the calories and then swallow again.

After doing that for 6 months you'll be able to autism track in your head and will never be able to eat something bad without making yourself feel like shit about it and thinking about what you could be eating instead for the same calories.

>>42417453
What do you think then? I want to make sure I'm running and getting the PHUL days in.

Should I only 1xF push-ups and sit-ups once a day?
Only on rest days? I need some advice.

>>42417646
I already track all that shit, nigga. I meant for my workout schedule.

>>42417660
Just follow literally any beginner linear progression program. SS/SL/GSLP pick one and stick to it.

Do cardio on your rest days if you want.

>>42417663
I've 'graduated' from SL, hence the PHUL.

The C25k is to increase my cardio
The push-ups, sit-ups and bodyweight routines is to make sure I can pass the APFT.

I'm going to boot camp in a few months.

>>42417794
don't know why I didn't see that. Most people on fat that post that kind of shit are utter complete beginners.

idk man I feel like if you've already completed SL you should be able to do enough push ups and shit to pass that. Maybe just do the bw stuff and cardio to make sure you got that shit specifically down.

>>42417865
My only real issue is stamina for the long-distance cardio. I can do the push-ups and sit-ups right now, I just want to be able to do more. Ya know?

Maybe I should just balance it... Push-ups and sit-ups in the morning, dips and pull-ups at night?

It depends on what cheating means. Don't go over your TDEE and you'll make it.

Also that kind of seems like a boring shitty cheat, but if that's your deal go for it.

This was my cheat meal two weeks ago. It was excellent.

>>42417527
That's kind of messed up. Try to deal with that. I'm not perfectly on my diet goal every day, but I can comfortably be under my TDEE and feel good about the day.

Even eating at TDEE is fine, your aren't losing progress. Just going crazy really is failure. Do you even count calories on those days?

>>42417794
If you're not already able to pass the APFT that should be 100% of your focus right now. You'l have plenty of time to progress your lifts in the military after BCT. Push-ups/sit-ups to failure multiple times per session and focus on running as fast as you can as far as you can instead of trying to grind down your 2 mile time.

>>42417880
If you temporarily drop the gym you could probably just do all of them twice a day with the cardio.

I just really don't like the idea of doing push ups and and dips to failure then trying for a bench pr later that day, you feel?

>>42417893
I can pass all of them now, I just don't know how long I can run for. It takes a lot of focus and will to maintain the run for 30-45 minutes and I can only assume its going to be a lot more than that. I'm already older than most of the kids there, can't afford to be slow.

>>42417920
Valid concern. Maybe I should just do push-ups to the APFT standard I want to meet?

1x40 for push-ups
1x45 for sit-ups

Then for dips and pull-ups just... 1xF?

Thoughts?

Local supplement shop does free meal plans and inbody scans. I did the calculations and this comes to 1845 calories without the 5 servings of veggies. That leaves me with 155 calories for veggies if I want to be at 2000 calories. What veggies are around ~30 calories per serving?

Hey guys. How effective is a stationary bike in losing weight? Is it a waste of time? I know it's kind of stupid and lazy. I was just wondering...if I'm going to be on my laptop doing something, I could also be on my bike for hour or so and turn up the resistance.

I'll be stuck indoors working for most of the summer so I figure that I should try to do something like this.

note: Lost a lot of weight due to being a starving student but haven't exercised.

>>42418119
It's fine. Do it. Your main weight loss will still be through diet, using a bike will increase cardiovascular health and help you lose 's more.

Walking and cycling are good exercise, even if they aren't crazy exhausting exercise.

>>42418145
>even if they aren't crazy exhausting exercise

You're cycling wrong.

>>42418116
Lethargy and fatigue usually stem from malnutrition
a balanced diet that hits all your nutritional needs fixes the problem the majority of the time, there are some exceptions, but those are significantly less common

I'm getting really fat.

How do I start a routine and stick to it ?

>>42418217
my diet is chicken, fish, pork, rice, bread and mixed veg with most things
daily calories is around 1000, give or take, and I pop a multivit every morning
I also try to get in 5,000 steps a day, but my mood has killed my motivation on that endeavour
oh, and I'm 6'1, 145lbs

what can I be doing better?

>>42418215
I suppose I shouldn't have assumed a guy asking if cycling was even worthwhile wasn't going to go that hard?

I'm 79-80kg at 186cm (176lbs at 6'1)
I'm kind of on a skinnyfat side and i'm really not happy with my body, my goal weight is around 70kg/154lbs.
So the question is, how fast can i drop 8-10kg? How far bellow my TDEE should i go? How much cardio do i need to do while i'm at it?

Wrong question. Speed is not a virtue when you are losing weight. But if you go hard with cutting and exercise you can lose 1kg a week safely.

>how far below TDEE should I go?

Cutting 500 from TDEE is pretty standard. Don't go below 1200 per day.

>cardio

You technically don't need to do any, but obviously it would help. If you are walking do it every day. If you are running, jogging, or doing Couch to 5K do it alternating days and walk in between.

>will need a year to solely not look like a skinnyfat incel, let alone lifting

Is it possible to lose 40 lbs in a healthy manner in 6 months?

Also going to a gym for the first time in ages with friends today. What muscle do I work on to actually be able to do a push up?

>>42418547
Possibly. I have a shitty female metabolism yet still managed to do that by dieting without any exercise. As long as you do hardcore shit like HIIT and lift as well as avoid insulin-raising shit and empty calories, you might be able to pull it off.

>>42418547
Best way to get better at push ups is to practice push ups(and lose weight).
Start on your knees and work your way to doing real ones. Other than that, just do normal upper body work. Bench, OHP, skull curshers, w/e floats your boat.

>>42418547
Bench press is the equivalent weighted lift to push-ups. However as >>42418649 said get better at push-ups by doing push-ups. Go look up Convict Conditioning, it's got sections on advancing each of the main body weight exercises, starting from intimediate all the way up to master >>42418649

>>42418649
>>42418711
>>42418579
Thank you all. I'll look into the convict stuff and start on my knees. Been dieting for a bit already though.

>>42418711
a lot of the difficulty in the push-up for a fat person is keeping the body straight when in the pushup position. the 'pushing' isn't as hard as having the core strength to hold all that weight off the ground with the feet as the pivot. so yeah using the knees makes it a bit more manageable. and benching doesn't improve core strength because you're laying on your back and only working your upper body.

>>42418751
Awesome man. Keep it up, little victories builds great results
>>42418790
Absolutely true. And summed up far more concisely than I could ever have. Thanks anon

when I fist start lifting should I give my muscles a couple extra days to heal? Or stick to the three day split?

My arms seem fine since they were already a bit built but my legs feel powerless and ache after just one session. Squatting fucking sucks.

>>42419081
Just keep the weights lighter than your max, and push through the pain to make each session

>>42419081
Yes, you should feel no aching as you are ready to start your next gym day. Either decrease weights or let it heal further before doing relevant exercises.

>>42419125
Not that anon, but really?

i.e., using a very light kettlebell with squats
>only do 20
>feel the burn the next day
I'd think I would need to do more, not less.

260lb here. I tried running last year but it seriously fucked my knees. it was really difficult and I managed to progress a bit with couch to 5k but my knees hurt so bad I had to stop, It kept me awake at night. is this just the regular fat guy experience? should I try again and just push through or should I wait until I drop a few pounds? if the latter roughly how heavy should i be before trying again? I want to put that work in but don't want to ruin my knees for life. thanks for the threads anons, they really help

>>42419230
Example: if you do squats every other day, you should feel fine on day 1, aches after the exercise and on day 2, and nothing on day 3. If that is not the case, you should reduce your weights (or increase, as appropriate). Normally after a month or so you should no longer be bottlenecked by your body's slow recovery rate, though.
You can also push through if you want, but it is extremely likely you will be struck with a more serious injury which could take you out of the gym for weeks.

>>42408248
its over 100 outside
i cant stop eating popsicles help me father

>>42419370
Turn on the goddamn air conditioning. Make your own Popsicles so you can make them healthier. Cool some beverages that are no - cal and drink that shit.

>>42419339
There's no reason to do an exercise that is seriously injuring you. Walk or use the eleptical (or cycle ) until you are lighter, and then try running again if you really enjoyed it.
