I used to be Veeky Forums and lifted everyday. But by doing so I became bulky to the point of achieving turbomanlet status and now I hate myself
What's the best way to go about losing muscle mass while still remaining toned ?

dieting and running and isometric exercises worked for me. I was 5'8" and 128 and looked ripped to the point where even straight guys were checking me out and catcalling me. Having a tan also helps
Michael Cook
calorie restriction, avoid heavy carbs keep working out but not too heavy to keep muscle mass, you'll still end up losing some, stop and maintain when at your goal weight.
>my stats height 6' /183 weight 140 lbs / 63.5 kg goal 132 lbs / 60 kg aesthetic: lightly toned last week i was 66 kg so I lost 2.5 kilos, pretty heavy restriction though I'm not counting I eat low calorie foods. Somewhere around 1000-1400 Kcal a day I need to start cardio. Should hit goal weight by end of the month, but my muscle/fat distribution within 1.5 months b/c I'm skinnyfat af

Adrian Ramirez
I'm skinny in most parts of my body, i.e. arms, lower legs, upper body, neck, face, but my thighs are kinda chunky. Idk if it's my hips or not, but I still feel my thighs are too big. I can pull off thinspo fits and the Saint Laurent/All Saints shit, I just want to slim out my hips and thighs to not have this rounded look to my legs. Would running and calorie restrictions help? I used to do long distance for cross country and track and it made my jawline and face the best looking they've ever been. I just don't want my legs to go Veeky Forums mode and look like drumsticks. I've downloaded a calorie counter and am eating less. Please help, slim pants fit everywhere except the thighs are a bit tight, but straight is a bit baggy. :(
Dominic Edwards
yea, enduro is best for toned legs my mate was a New Zeland pro marathoner back in the 80s. His legs, when he was running, were excellent. sprinting will tree-trunk you.

Connor Watson
Just fast for the rest of today + tomorrow. Easy fix.
I need to learn how to not binge eat junk food and how to say no to eating out :/ Any tips?
I also have a lot of tummy fat I'm hoping will go away as I get more regular in going to the gym. (I just started going this past week and am going every second day.)

I'm 5'8,5" @ 125lbs and I'm fat as fuck. Especially stomach and thighs/ass. You're probably gonna need to go lower than that.
I put on a bit of weight when I got clean, so now i'm struggling to stay low without using.

Who else here trying to /recover/?
I'd much rather be ottermode and healthy than having a muddled thought process.
I had my first session today but the woman was a bitch, drawing parallels to alcoholics and drug addicts and shit.
Tried bringing sexuality into it too.
Are psychs and specialists a meme?
Caleb Perry
What is the ideal weight for 5ft 9.5in? I’m underweight right now at 52kg.
William Russell
No, but they have different methods that definitely don't gel with everyone. I totally recommend therapy but if you don't like a therapist after 1 or 2 sessions then keep shopping around.
I was definitively anorexic around a year ago and couldn't focus on classes anymore. I'm trying to eat more and work out some, but it's rough. GL user
Austin Richardson
Thanks user, I'd be the same as you, I need my mind to be going at 100% for the shit I'm dealing with right now, and the whole anorexia thing is not helping one bit.
I decided to visit a specialist and I only had my first session an hour ago. I don't think I like the psychs approach.
She was trying to draw up a picture of me and was pigeon-holing.
I think I have the power to overcome it myself. That could just be the elusive nature of the disease shining through and I'll be even more fucked after working out of it, but we'll see.
Wyatt Perez
nah dude, you're not thinsspo. You're a marfan's having fucking freak. You have a DEFORMITY. Your pectus excavatum. Your scoliosis. Your high pallet. Ugly as fuck elongated face. You're a disgusting fucking problem that occurred in the womb.
Lucas Morgan
Moderate intensity jogging or walking will help as suggested, and anecdotally I can say that walking for ~ 2 hrs (10-11km) every day helped fix this problem for me. OTOH, your legs could just be where your body naturally stores more fat %, and you'll have to lose a bit more to see results.
Gavin Wright
I've been fasting recently to try and once again become really thin. I've clearly lost some weight already, I'm thinner after just three days. The FAQ says this is just probably water weight... what does this mean? Also, do I have to keep this up forever if I want to keep the weight off? Or do I just do it until a point where I can eat normally again and keep the weight off because my body accepts the new weight, or some shit like that?
pls help

Carter King
Do 1000 calories a day, and roll over calories to save up for junk food you want. Lost 11 lbs in 3 weeks, nothing amazing but you don't have to starve all the time.
Landon Baker
Normally your body stores some of the water you ingest. When you fast, you lose some minerals that help to hold the water and you lose it. When you start eating again your body starts to hold some water again.
When you lose fat and/or muscle, your body starts burning less calories per day, which means to keep that weight you will have to eat slightly less than you did before. But no, you won't have to diet or fast forever.
Ryan Lopez
Thanks. Does water weight make you look any different, or just weigh more or less? If I start eating and drinking normally again will I put back all the water fat on or some shit?
Angel Smith
It can make you look slightly skinnier if you lose the water. It's not a big difference though.

damn son i'm mirin' hard, I'm the same height as you and I'm at 150 lbs. I've lost over 50 lbs the past few years and trying to get below 145 is a struggle for me.
I'm pretty sure if I keep up the diet that I currently have, I'll be around 140 in April, good luck losing those last 5 pounds though you're doing good.
Daniel Fisher
looks cool to me, post pics
Anthony Smith
Much appreciated and congrats on losing 50 lbs, that's a lot of weight to lose even if it's throughout the span of a few years.
At this height, what aesthetic are you trying to go for when you're finally thinspo ?

Joshua Thomas
What was the therapy session like? What did they say to you? How were they pigeon holing?
Luke Hernandez
If you are anorexic or bulimic, please see a doctor. Make sure you get the right nutrients your body needs in order to stay healthy. Cutting back calories and doing cardio is fine, but unhealthy dieting will make you look gross and possibly dead.
Good luck slimming down, and stay healthy!
Josiah Lopez
Good on ya. Like said, different therapists have different methods. If you don't like that therapist, look for a new one.

Might not be the right place for this question but... How can I let go of the idea that I need to be within modeling measurements in order to be beautiful? I think I want to be healthy, but that would mean being fairly larger than model-size which would be distressing mentally.

>Are psychs and specialists a meme? Yes. It's not a science, despite how much they often pretend it is. Their "studies" wouldn't pass as following the scientific method in any other field, considering how poorly designed, poor sample size, ad-hoc, often non-double blind they are. That's the ones that even attempt.
Andrew Edwards

Statistics aren't a meme. Sure, there are shit studies in psychology, but there are in any field. There's plenty of numbers science behind it and you're delusional if you try to write off the whole field.

Damn that's my realistic goal bod. I'm also 5'7, but 150 lbs. Gained fucking 20 lbs my last year of college from being a lazy depressed stoner. Do you do any exercise to maintain that body? Diet?
Josiah Gray
.. i'm model size and i'm healthy. I've always been skinny though, dont know if that matters. (6'2, 124 lbs / 188 / 57kg)
Aiden Jones
I've always been skinny, just not always model skinny. If I cut down to a BMI of 15.5 I can get my hips to 34.5-35", and 36" and a BMI of 16.5.
My problem is that with my current workout schedule I'm finding it impossible to cut (constantly hungry and tired) and I really want the health gains that come with a good workout routine. At a BMI of 15.5 I was also having worse health problems like being cold all the time, not being able to sit on anything not fully soft, dizzy spells and fatigue.
Chase Rivera
>anything Sorry, maybe i misunderstood. Are you a female?
If not you don't actually have to drop your BMI to 15.5 or anything like that, really. Not too sure about the accepted measurements for girls, but mens modeling is veeeeery liberal these days. My agency is very relaxed... I mean we're all skinny boys but it's not like they will tell us to diet or anything
Idk how to diet. I say I want to diet, then I overeat. Then I feel bad and do it again the next day.
Asher Lopez
ballerinas have thicc thighs from muscle tho
Ian Roberts
I wish I could tell myself that but I need to lose just a little more
Yeah I do cardio at least twice a week and I walk about 3-5 miles everyday or so. I don't exercise as much anymore as to be careful not to gain too much muscle again. But when I do, it's either push-ups/pull-ups or just general weight training with light volume. Abs every other day though.
And for dieting, I am heavily restricting lately (

I'm jealous that you actually have to be careful NOT to gain muscle. Like wtf
Owen Smith
Does regularly being in these threads actually help motivate anyone to lose weight? I don't really come on Veeky Forums, just /ic/ sometimes. I don't want to be model-skinny as in looking stick-ish, but fit and slender on the top with just the right amount of thicc in my thighs/butt would be ideal. Which sounds pretty easy, just run with ab exercises and do squats and such in addition to dieting. But man my biceps. They've always been my body's most ideal fat deposits. It's not like they sag, but I can easily pinch it and hold a bunch of fat in my fingers. Has anyone here won the battle with fat arms?
Charles Ross
It works for me. I have the opposite problem, my arms are sticks, but my thighs and ass are fat. Can't do shit but lose weight untill even the stubborn fat goes away.
Gabriel Wood
I eat over 2.5k calories a day, that's why I'm so scared of my own body, I feel so ugly sometimes...
Noah Richardson
How do you guys accurately calculate BF%? I've tried multiple calculators online with my measurements but I keep getting stupid results (-0.8%). Is there any way I can get a realistic result without going to a dietician/ doctor?
Christopher Hughes
buy a scale that measures bf
Henry Brooks
i'm just starting to take this shit seriously, how long would you say it takes to get used to going from about 1700-2000 calories a day to 1000-1200? i'm 6'2" and skinnyfat, not sure if height makes any difference. just wanna get that slp aesthetic down within the year
Levi Flores
>tfw /fitfa/ and eternally struggling with wanting to gain muscle mass and wanting to be skinny i swear i gain one kg and then starve myself because i think i look fat. mental illness and body dysmorphia are the biggest hurdle to being aesthetic.
depends on your willpower and what you eat. eat a lot of protein in the form of lean meats and veggies like broccoli and brussel sprouts. carrots, onions, mushrooms, etc... anything that is very calorie deficient but will fill you up helps when you first start too. as long as you eat smart and keep your health in mind, a caloric restriction is super easy. also pro-tip, ask yourself why exactly you want to be skiiny/aesthetic and be honest with yourself. i do it for a girl and i'm ashamed of it but she's the only source of true motivation i have.
Evan Brown
I am the same way user, it sucks. At this point I have almost no boobs and what might barely be considered okay for arms. Life is suffering.
Jacob Garcia
only meme answer to my questionwell that's rude
Samuel Sanders
What is your bone structure like? If it's naturally wide, there's not much you can do to fix that.
Aside from that, make sure you drink A LOT of water if you aren't already. Not being hydrated enough causes your body to retain water even more so on your face.
Jaw exercises maybe? Other than that I don't know what else to say. It may also be likely that your body naturally stores a lot of fat on your face and again, that's something you can't really change
Anthony Cruz
You can be model size and healthy. Liking models have definitely warped my perception of beauty though. Yesterday I met a beautiful girl that has the style I like from head to toe except that she wasn't thin. Not at all overweight (no hanging flab), she was average, but to me she looked fat. I knew I was being unreasonable but she simply looked fat to me. I think a way to solve this is just take some time away from fashion or fitness or Hollywood or social media and deprogram yourself, eventually your tastes will change back to a more balanced view.
