That's really not impressive if you started at 372, but it's a start nonetheless.

Diet is the most important!!

>>34566485
You don't jump right into the deep end with exercise if your legs barely support your mass.
Walk. Diet. Bodyweight exercises.

>>34566485
change your diet and go walking at first, if you're too heavy the weight will just hurt your joints.

i personally wont make it but i appreciate the thought

keep up the good work

>>34566485
That's the first time faggot, read >>34566518 it's all about that diet.

>>34566454
Not to be a dick but 2 pounds is within the normal range of daily weight fluctuation. So 2 pounds over a month is virtually no change at all. If you're serious about losing weight you need to work much, much harder.

>>34566454
just keep going man
no matter how slow you go just dont give up
youll get there eventually

Good job, but it's gonna take you 7.5 years to lose 180 lbs if you're only losing 2 pounds a month.

>>34566485

The one positive thing about being fat is how many calories you burn just by being alive. Use a BMR calculator, eat 500 calories less than the result, and you could lose weight without moving a muscle.

>>34566454
We are. I've started looking forward to another one of these threads

Can any lurking /fit/bots tell me if chugging massive amounts of water every day is actually worth it?

I don't get thirsty a lot. My usual drinks are coffee (with a bit of half and half only), black tea, and diet soda. I usually have a mix of three cups of the above throughout the day and sips of water if I do get thirsty.

Is there a point to drinking an excessive amount of water?

>>34566580

Fatbots need to stick together. Most robots grew up as picky eaters due to autism who turned into skellingtons.

Why does water taste so gross bros?

I keep trying to switch from Code Red to water but I literally feel like dying if I drink more than a small cup of water and the nauseating feeling continues until I've had some Mountain Dew.

>>34566557
Not really.

BMR doesnt really work on obese people due to their fucked up metabolism.

>>34566454
Losing two pounds in a month is laughable for someone your size. It was likely only water weight. If you were serious about your dieting and exercise you'd have no issue losing at least 10 pounds in a month.

So what's the best way to lose weight? Currently at 190lb, thicc at the thighs and ass, want to get down to like 150.

I'm supporting by being honest. Everyone congratulating a 350+ guy for losing 2 pounds in a month is being retarded because its practically not even weight loss. Maybe 1/2 pound of it was body fat at the most and the rest was likely water weight.

This the fat general now then?

My stats are
5'6 SW:212 CW:204 GW:160 (150 as secondary goal)

I started on Jan 9th and have so far dropped 8 pounds, already noticing things like stomach being smaller and not chaffing as bad when walking, started doing dumbell exercises on a 3 day split at home and walking from work to home every day (15 mins or there abouts) I power walked at first to get a sweat on but now I walk half then full throttle sprint for a good minute at random intervals just to keep my heart pumping fast. I really feel like the first time in my life im going to make it. Going to start the gym after dropping around 2 stone or 28 pounds and then try to build some muscle.


Question for fatty to nattys, how did you deal with loose skin? Im worried because im short my skin wont go back to normal. I mean its not a problem because I did this to myself and should have to live with the consequences just wondering if you have any tips to reduce sag.

Sorry for the blog post. We're all going to make it!

I've lost 30 pounds these past months. I am becoming more dedicated to the gym and I love seeing myself get stronger. I was reading one my earlier entries in my journal from 2015 and I was so disappointed I couldn't do one push-up and now I can do 20 in a row.

Made a new years resolution thst I am going to lose 40lbs by october.

Dubs decide if it happens or not

>>34569419
Tell the manager. No respectable gym will put up with that shit, they're more likely to turf out the people harassing or give them a verbal warning.

It's hard to believe there was a time in my life that I couldn't even run a mile without vomiting and was 90 pounds overweight. If I can do it, all of you can do it too. I believe in you fucks. If you're fat, change your diet and lose some weight before you decide to start exercising. It'll make all the difference in the world.

>>34570243
I seem to max out at just around 200 so i guess i can be grateful for that. Most i actually saw on a scale was 190 and that took alot of effort/over eating.

Ballooning to 170 from 150 is way too easy though and its hard for me to keep weight off.

I hope you have some luck in your goals annon.

What are meant to eat? I've basically lived on sandwiches my entire life. Not to say I can't cook,I just have no idea what your daily caloric intake is meant to look like. I've just been eating less and cutting out sugar. I don't know what else to do

I don't think I lost any weight last month despite dropping alcohol and takeaways. Used a fair bit of heavy cream and olive oil in my cooking. Can that be as bad, do you think?

>>34570408
Thanks m8. I'm doing the small things to start. 2 slices of pizza instead of 3, fruit with a sandwich instead of chips, no food before bed, shit like that. Luckily I only drink water and sometimes diet tea so I don't have issues there.

I was drinking over 2k calories of alcohol alone no matter what I drank. I drank all day and night. Doesn't matter if I drank 5.5% beer, liquor with diet soda or malt liquor ... I knew my limits and drank until I reached that limit and stayed there for hours until either I ran out or it was getting late. I'd usually stop drinking 2-3 hours before bed. I'd stop drinking, eat around 1k calories worth of actual food, take my vitamins and drink plenty of water. Never had a hangover. What I'd typically drink is 3-4 40oz of OE malt liquor since gas station is closer. A little over 700 calories each 40oz. If I drank beer, I'd get 2x 6packs of 16oz Bud Ice. 160 calories per beer. Liquor, about the same. I'd drink a little more than half a 1.75L bottle of liquor. Yes, I drink the cheapest shit with highest alcohol. No natty ice at the gas stations around here, just natty light.

Damn dude I'm surprised you were able to quit in that small of a timeframe considering you were drinking that much. I would never have been able to handle all of that beer weight wise. I would have ballooned to god knows how much. I was only drinking around a third of a 1.75L bottle a night after work at my peak, couldn't drink during the day unless it was a weekend. Glad you were able to get off the stuff.

I don't mean to be rude anon, but that's very marginal for a month.
If you were gaining weight prior (as opposed to being at a certain weight) than it's much better.
Anyway keep it up.

Went from 229 to 172 after months of exercising.
Well desu 4 months of exercising every single day. After that i dialed down, but also started eating more so i'm stuck at this weight right now. Been that way for about 5 months.
Funny how after all that i look more strong fat/skinny fat.
I thought the fat would be gone after all those pounds.

Please anons, the most important thing is to get fit. If you're fat, try couch to 5k. If skelly, gomad+SS. This is a lifestyle change that'll make you feel physically good and probably raise your self-esteem a lot, and all it requires is like an hour a day of your NEET time 5 days a week for optimal progress.

You probably only weighed less because you took a shit and piss before you weighed yourself

>>34570632
I'll bear it in mind. Had a rice dish today actually. Boiled too. So there's that. Still feel like I ought to be seeing returns on the changes I've already made though - if only on vodka, balti and Domino's

Anyone have a good exercise routine for a robot without gym access or the ability to do shit outdoors (live up north and it's winter now, will change in the summer)

>>34570649

>>34570751
Alright then, duly noted. I hear creme fraiche (reduced) and soured cream are a much better bet and function the same though?

>>34570736

If you have a step in your house, walk up and down that over and over while listening to something really intense, like power metal or extremely fast electronic music. Jumping jacks also work, though they're probably not great if you're fat. Don't worry too much about working on your muscles until you have lost some weight, but I would recommend leg raises for your core, wall sits/squats for your legs. Start doing push ups once you've actually lost some weight and it no longer hurts.

is there any way to burn calories and lose weight while your sleeping?

>>34570797

They're no doubt better than full fat cream, but still not optimal. Make slow and steady adjustments to your diet and lifestyle so you aren't overwhelmed by too much at once.

I've "quit" several times. I have a prescription for benzos and beta blockers and had a little reserve after missing doses or only taking half a dose over the years. They helped me every time I wanted to quit and had minimal withdrawals. Withdrawals are gone usually gone with 3-5 days. Every time I quit, I'm up to around 300 pounds with a fatty liver. I may have to quit for good this time unless I want to die a painful death from liver failure. No way I'm ever getting a liver transplant nor would I want one, it would be a waste. Addiction sucks, especially when you use drugs to self medicate because pharmaceuticals don't work or are complete hell. I plan on tapering off the benzos too soon. I think that's going to be the hardest, read a lot of bad shit about withdrawals of that but I'm not taking that high of a dose.

Just how calorie-heavy is pasta? Some sites say it's like 200kcal/100g, others more, the packaging says it's 330. Who's right?

Just make sure your almonds are activated and you should be fine.

>>34570736

Spend about $20-40 on some dumbbells. Plenty of exercises you can do. Don't worry too much about cardio. Even just walking around the block for an hour straight would be good. Once you trim down a bit you can add in some bodyweight shit and not hurt yourself. The main thing to weightloss is diet. Just avoid obvious shit like sodas, ice cream, chips, etc. Try to eat enough protein to minimize muscle loss. Just eat well and spend 30 minutes every two days lifting those dumbbells. 3 sets 10 reps is what's usually good. Make sure you get enough weight to where you can barely get 10 reps in. Usually 15lbs is a good start. Although you will be losing fat, you will gain some noob strength and should be able to move up weight eventually, if you want or just do more reps if you're that cheap.

>>34571138
that's completely fine of course. i do it all the time

4 months right?
people say 8lbs a month but 10 should be possible if you work extra hard. i'm eating 1000 under BMR and being verrryyy conservative with calories, rounding everything up. i always walk 3 hours a day

also, calipers say i'm 25% bf, what kind of drop can i expect with going to 160? i'm sure it's not as simple as 40lbs = 20% of 200lbs = landing at 5%

if you know your exact body fat % it works fine, plugging the numbers into a calculator however doesn't because it usually assumes a normal fat to muscle ratio.

>>34571324
you're doing great progress my man
regarding the calories, as long as you stay lower than your maintenance you will still lose weight. even if you go higher than 1500 a couple of times it's not the end of the world

you should calculate your calories maintenance level and then go -500 to -700. Going too hard at once will be difficult and make it easier to give up

water has a flavour retard. it's an incredibly mild flavour, but it's a flavour.

You should at the very least be losing 2 pounds a week.
If you're that overweight losing 20 pounds the first month(s) is not an exception.
2 pounds difference can just be from water fluctuation.

i feel fine though. i'm doing IF, i don't eat in the morning or at work, then i have 1500 cals when i get home which means i'm not hungry all evening. night time eating and drinking is what fucked me

Those 3 pounds are mainly water, a pound of fat is roughly 3500 calories, I doubt you ate 10500 calories extra on top of what you burn in 2 days time. Don't sweat it you're making good progress.

Are you excersizing different parts of your body, if you focus on the same parts they won't have time to heal and it won't do you any good

Just went on the BMI calculator for my height and it said I want to be losing ten kilos. That's more than I want to lose desu, but obviously I want to swap some of the fat for muscle.

How do I get fat bros? I've been doing all I can to gain wait. Eatting all of mummies food and then some more. Starting snaking on all rhe yoguets for protein gainz and went to gym for a few months but barely changed. I need to gain weight so I can get into boxing


I am 5'8 167.5 lbs btw. Is that too skinny?

>>34571812
count your calories. guaranteed results

>>34571874
How do you keep track of calories? I usually just stuff my face full of shit and hope for the best. No labels on cooked meals, afterall

>>34566485
Try walking first. Develop a routine.

>>34571926
there are good apps for it, such as Myfitnesspal. but i have only used it while cooking my own meals. when it comes to eating out and others cooking for you, then you might have to make an estimate.

but seeing as you've almost made no progress at all at the level you're currently eating, you have to increase your intake a lot more. nuts are a good source of both calories and protein

you should consider a fitbit.

I got a fitbit HR for Christmas, it tracks heart rate, exercise, steps taken, etc. I would've never bought one with my own money, but it's actually been a great weight loss tool.

I lost roughly 7lbs in January entirely because the fitbit tracks almost exactly the amount of calories I burn during the day (something like 75-80% accuracy) and puts it all in fancy little graphs, so I can just budget my food intake with whatever I feel like eating. It makes calorie counting retardedly easy.

It keeps me from over eating shit like I used to, but I can still eat shit like a whole frozen pizza for dinner, because I've already budgeted the ~880 calories into my daily limit and know exactly how much under or over it will put me. Works much better than when I just tried to eat healthier foods and ended up just overeating on yogurt and fruit.

>>34566454
Congrats man! I was 365 at the end of the summer, and now I'm down to 320.

My problem was smoking weed and then having awful munchies, going out to mcdonalds and binging. Now that I've got my munchies under control, Im doing well.

The only downside is I've noticed that my depression has gotten worse even though I'm losing weight. It really kills the motivation; but then I look at myself in the mirror and regain focus.

>>34570806
Yeah just gain more muscle mass. The more muscle your body has the higher your resting metabolic rate will be. You'll still have to work hard to gain muscle though and if you're trying to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time you're going to need to eat almost exclusively protein.

>>34572030
This sounds really good. Does it do things like tell you what calories are needed to maintain? How does it work it out?

>>34571724

depends on how cold it is where you are, coldest I've biked in is -15c.

It's important to remember that when you're biking, you're inherently creating windchill equal to whatever speed you're going, so whatever you wear to keep warm normally you're going to have to increase.

wear warm gloves

wear a hat

wear something with a hood to minimize windchill on your face & ears

if it's really cold, consider wearing a hoodie under your coat or even 2 coats. 2 coats + cardio you will be warm as fuck even in really cold weather.

your legs will be the coldest part of your body so get some thermals and/or insulated pants.

once you get into the rhythm of the exercise, and you're bundled up properly, you won't feel cold. all the body heat from the cardio will have your body temp. high, and the excess heat will be sent naturally to your legs/arms/etc. keeping you relatively toasty.

>>34572210

it tracks the amount of calories you burn in a day based on your activity levels, weight, and height. Then, based on the weight loss level you've chosen, it will automatically shave 250/500/1000/etc. calories off of that number and set it as your daily limit. the number constantly changes during the day, so you can do some exercise, see your food limit increase by like 300-400 calories or more, and get a really nice dopamine hit from it.

>>34572125

>The only downside is I've noticed that my depression has gotten worse even though I'm losing weight.

probably because eating food makes you feel good, same reason I play video games like 4-6 hours a day. just gotta find something else.

>>34566940
Originally laughable.

>>34572283
There are a ton of different types. Does it matter? Do you get what you pay for?

>>34572483

I have the fitbit HR that tracks heart rate, only one I've ever had.

I'd honestly recommend the HR simply because by keeping track of heart rate it can actually keep track of and estimate calories burned on a day to day without manual input. It will know you got 15 minutes of cardio at 4:05pm and increase your calories burned accordingly.

most of the models are designed for people into sports and exercise in general, like the one made specifically for bikes, so a low effort general use one like the HR is best if you're just counting calories.

>>34572902
Unsweet tea is another option

>>34572995
I've tried tea twice and spit it out both times, I hate it

>>34572902

unsweetened tea, low cal drinks, etc.

if you want the sugar, iced tea is a good choice, it generally has the least calories of any of the sweetened drinks.

>>34572903

the HR has exercise settings specifically for running, weights, treadmill, "workout", elliptical, bike, and interval workout.

you go to the exercise menu, tap it until it's at the exercise you're doing, hold down the button until it starts, it'll show a timer and some general information that cycles. When you're done, you hold down the button again, at which point it'll give you some general info about duration, avg heart rate, average calories burned, etc.

So now that I'm 2500 over my goal, what do? I feel like shit. What do? Right now I'm thinking eat normally tomorrow and exercise, then fast the next day, eat normal the day after that, then fast again.

Is this a bad plan? A week's worth of progress in one night... that's just too much to let go by.

>>34576689
No, my pal. You must just chalk it up as a bad day, forgive yourself and get back on the horse. No unsustainable drastic action, just resolution to persevere. A human falters, but a man tries again.

>>34576781
Thanks, man... it's just so hard to forgive myself because literally every day is a struggle. I don't get how I can get through weeks without binge eating but then lose control in one night. And for what? I just feel sick now, and half the stuff I ate didn't even taste that good, I guess I just miss that simple freedom of eating whatever you want when you're fat.

End blogpost, sorry about that.

>fucked up thyroid

>I actually feel good when I go with the paleo meme
>hate every minute of it

Stopped eating fast food, unhealthy snacks, sweets and sweetened drinks 1,5 week ago. I know it's not much, but already I'm seeing some difference.

I hate how slowly I'm losing weight. If I stick to my paleomeme diet 100% I will maybe loose 1kg (2.2lbs) every two weeks.

I want to go from 67kg (147,4lb) to 58 (127,8lb). It will take so much time, fuck, I am already hating that thought.

But at the same time controlling what I eat gives me a sense of control over my life, so that's good.

I still only stick to my diet 80/20, I will sometimes eat something with gluten/a high carb meal.

I'm kinda proud of my body though, since I really just stopped eating everything I mentioned above and I don't even feel that tempted when my diet is well balanced.

>>34577536

Hey op just remember: you didnt get fat overnight. You spent years, maybe decades to get to that size. It's going to take you years to get healthy. Just keep working on it and find other motivators besides numbers. For example, notice if your clothes begin to fit looser. Notice if you sweat less in summer. Stuff like that.

>>34577242
The slower the weight loss, the easier it is for skin to get normal. If i was guy in pic, i would consider getting surgery to remove the excess skin. Hes probably saving enough in healthcare, food, and clothing expenses.

Aah man cheers, it looks like a tremendous achievement but it's really just a easy little achievement every week, you'll get there too.

>>34577831
Well you ought to be proud of yourself - anyone can lose weight and put it back on in a month. It's fortitude that is worthy of respect.

How do you avoid saying 'fuck it' and ordering that pizza or drinking a bunch or whatever it was for you? Last thing I somewhat regret was having a sundae for making it to a month.

>only gained 10 pounds last month
>Over 140 pounds away from my 300 pound goal

>>34577882
I had a bunch of setbacks like that too, that attitude of 'fuck it' was all habit and addiction for me. It was fucking hard at the beginning but every week I forcibly put down the cake was a week closer to creating new habits.

I always kept in mind I was trying to overcome 21 years of fucking horrific eating, so of course it felt like shit but as I cemented one healthy habit after another, one week at a time, it was a snowball effect that got easier the longer I held out. If you can smash a month I'd say you've got it in you too.

Somewhere along the line I got in to thai kickboxing and the idea of competing keeps me in gear too, so the sport / competitive angle is good motivation

>2 pounds in a month

nigga i lost 5 kg's in 2 weeks from 86kg

apparently I have 20% body fat. I'm 5'10" 190lbs. But I feel so much heavier and fatter. If I lost only 10 pounds to be at 180 (which is still overweight according to a BMI), I would have a body fat % of 16, which is good.

Is it normal to feel this out of shape and overweight, when I'm actually not that bad because of the muscle mass I have?

>>34578169

If you think you lost only 2 pounds in a month, you're wrong. You've lost nothing. You took a shit at some point which reduced your weight by 2 pounds. If you're that fat, you could be losing more weight in a month. More than 2 probably not over 10.
