Fucking OVER it senpai

Ex obese turned ex skelly turned ex skinnyfat here, I weighed in 16.9% body fat at 70kg (stopped working out for a bit over a month after my bulk, also 5 10' 20 year old here) and I'm at 66.5kg now. I think I should be completely done at 62kg, I'm 5/6 weeks in. I'm doing IF.

I feel so fucking done though. I can see the top 2 abs usually, esp. In good lighting though, but I still hate the fat on my tummy. I really hope I'm done in 4/5 weeks or I may actually die.

i just drank a bottle of wine
that works on a cut, right?

>4 dl of cold coffee
>4 dl almond milk
>50 g of cinnamon roll whey
>takes 2 minutes to prepare
>tastes heavenly
>guaranteed 44 g of protein first thing in the morning
I wish I had tried this recipe earlier. After years of intermittent fasting it's the perfect introduction to breakfasts.
I think I can finally start my cut in peace.

So, I'm currently between 260-270. 5'11. I'm taking in about 15-1800 calories a day, working out about 3-5 days a week. I looked back on my macros for one week and wanted to know if I'm making good or bad choices.

Carbs - 154g
Fat - 45.7g
Protein - 106.7g

Anything I should improve on? I did SS for about a month, but I'm switching to a week of 3 mile daily cardio to switch things up.

Finally down to 88 lbs. Five more to go. I still feel so normal. No extreme hunger yet, no cravings outside of salt (which I can happily and safely stop with spoons of Vegemite, at 9 calories per spoon, and has the additional benefit of being 25% protein). The hardest part, I think, was simply starting - now that I'm used to it, it's very sustainable and normal eating 300 calories a day.

215(iirc)-201

Cutting down to 190. Seeing all my lifts go down kinda hurts my pride I just wanna start eating at a surplus again

6ft btw

not that guy, but I went from 235 to 170 in 6 months or so and have a little bit of loose skin myself. I'll tell you what though, loose skin is a hundred times better than being fat.

The slower the weight loss the less loose skin you'll have down the line since the body has time to adapt.

Eternally cutting over here, it's brutal. These days i take heaps of modafinil which helps suppress hunger. Sometimes i push it too hard and don't eat all day then i smoke too much weed and eat $30 worth of service station food or someshit.

Getting my depression and lifting regiment in order now so i'm seeing more progress but still feel the end goal is far away even though i look good by normie standards.

It is my birthday today and we had a bunch of curry to celebrate. Mitigated losses by not eating any of the rice or naan

Happy birthday man. Good job being strong with the rice and Naan, if I get Indian food I can't resist it.

Who has experience with ephedrine hcl? I'm gonna do a 2 week cycle and want to hear your impressions on burning that last % of fat away

down 16 lbs tyvm now fuck off

Fuck, that's huge. I struggle with the discipline to gain weight at 6'1, I can't imagine the difficulties I'd have at 6'6

no progress this week :(

really off-putting to see your weight go up after a cut (although I was wearing heavier clothes and it was later in the day so I had waterweight)

fml

> tfw 10-12% bf by May 21st

I dont think I'm gonna make it bruhs

My fat ass when I started my cut at 205, I'm 195 now aiming for 170-180 no recent pics

Keep forgetting to weigh myself after I take a shit, but the mirror tells me I'm making progress.

6'2" here, cutting at 2500 cal/day.

I have such a big appetite at times, but I also have discipline and lots of caffeine.

Yeah, flabby belly

I'm tall so it's not much of a problem

Knowing anons like you that have made it this far is huge motivation for fat asses like myself.
Keep it up.

170 after being 280.

[spoiler]i'm like 5'8[/spoiler]
Feelsgoodman. Good work familia

I've plateaued recently. I'm supposed to be eating 1700 cals but I've only been hitting around 1500 over the past 3 weeks. Should I just do cardio?

Well Veeky Forums, I'm sitting at 198 as of yesterday afternoon( night shift master race here) dropped from 230 as of October. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos from then and haven't taken recently. 5'11 and I have 13 lbs left to go.

Terrible. I was 183 last year and now I'm 165. I've been stuck at 165 for months. I actually kind of hate myself for failing at everything I try to do.

went from 330-190 in like a year and a half, maybe 2 years

took a trip to america, ate a bunch of shit (like heart attack grill, lots of alcohol, cheap us shit)

few months pass, lose the initial drive, get lazy, currently at 235.

found the drive again
night gathers and now my watch begins

Did the same thing, literally my story. Don't fuck up again user. Thinking about all the progress that could've been is infuriating.

it's maddening to think about, but it's the best possible lesson we have learned which will propagate within our subconscious and provide us fuel for our journey towards the outer boundaries of humanity

6 week in
went from 150 to 143

daily:
2 protein shakes (morning and evening)
2 paprika
3 carrots
250g turkey

workout 4-5 times a week only lifting
no abs visible

that sounds like 1000 calories max

how tall are you??

I'm 5'7" and I went from 152 to 147 and I have had visible abs

I do have an extremely muscular core though

is it to low?

5'6"
5 month into lifting
chest and arms are nice, but the belly got a layer of fat yet

Recovering fatty here, 5'10. Been on a cut since September. Was 315 then, now at 275.

All I think about is food. I want nothing more than to just pig out on an entire pizza or something.

It's hell.

What are these fucking manlets doing here

being more muscular than you faggot

Weighed in at 176 and trying to get to 170 in 2 weeks by doing a psmf. I know I'm going to make my goal and problem a bit more considering I'm doing 3 miles of fasted cardio (mixture of low, medium and high intensity) the morning while take yohimbine and fallowing it up with ephedrine 2 hours later. I'm also lifting 5x a week and have yet to see any decrease in my lifts.

Lol
>147 pounds
>being muscular
Pick one

I am 6'1" at 240 pounds, and have partially visible abs.

is the anabolic window a myth?

does it matter when I get protein as long as I meet my daily protein goal?

fite me faggot

Not sure about its effects on fat burning but the blunting of hunger is very effective. I've been on an EC stack and it's worked well

Still got some baby fat, and the stretch marks will never go away, but i am 6 foot, and still cutting.

Being a previous fatty sucks sometimes. Came down from 280.

Dont kniw why it is upside down though.

Also. Didnt mean to add the second link. I must be tired

You look good, till people realize that you are just tiny. I bet those muscles would look little as fuck on a normal sized guy. Oh well, chicks dont know the difference. Good on ya man.

Ec stack is the best legal thing you can get. It is what helped me burn hella fat.

I feel like a fucking twink and contemplate ending it early every single day. Then I have a meal and reconsider my decision just long enough for me to hold out for my next feed.

Why aren't my bottom 2 abs not popping yet ffs I'm 30% done convincing myself i just have no muscle and should just go back to a slow bulk.

Then I realise i'm 1.5weeks in....

perks of being a manlet

I do fill out shirts though

> tfw blessed with naturally big pecs

>mfw actually getting irl mires after cutting for a couple of months

What the fuck, how tall are you?! 300 calories can't be healthy for anyone.

Protein is a meme. You only need like 0.5 per pound of bodyweight. You shouldn't worry too much about it. Just keep lifting and just eat lots of low calorie dense food. Try a vegan diet.

Whereas I'm starting at 190 and I'm fat

Shoo, shoow. Away with ye.

I'm being completely honest when I say that I would kill myself if I had to go vegan

You look great

Me too, when i buy small shirts. I am 240, and i usually rock a medium, because i spend a lot of time on back and leg gains, i kinda just look fat i a large. It is kinda irritating.

ya, I used to wear a bunch of medium, even large, shirts cause I thought I was gonna grow into them (kek)

once I accepted that I was gonna stay short I started getting small shirts that fit me better, pretty revolutionary tbqhwyfam

I also have large, broad shoulders for my height, which makes a lot of t-shirt sleeves flare out which looks awful

Honest question, is there anyone on this board who doesnt roid, and has a full sixpack at over 220 pounds? I have been working my ass off for nearly three years now, and pic related is all i have acheived. Granyed i am in the middle of a cut, and 230 plus pounds, but i want to think it is possible.

Fat is fat, and if i was at 10 percent that woukd still be 23 pounds of fat, which will hang nomatter how much muscle you have. Do i have to get down to like 5 percent or some shit?

I understand the plight of big breasted women. A large shirt hangs off of my back and chest, and makes me look like a chubby cylinder. A medium stays tight to my back, which is difficult because i have a pretty big back, and allows you to see that my waist is not that of a fatty.

It's actually really easy. I eat vegan 90% of the time. I eat meat when I'm out with friends or when someone cooks for me, because I don't want to be 'that vegan' guy.
My lifts are stable and some have even gone up. I've also went from 18%bf to 11% without counting calories or feeling like shit all the time like I used to when cutting. Cutting and bulking is a meme designed for roiders anyways.

I usually would agree about cutting and bulking, but I'm on my first actual cut because I gotta get festival ready so I can fuck a sloot

I bet your lifts are qverage at best. On my last bulk i hit a 5 plate deadlift, and i dont roid. Bulking is fun as shit, and is the only way for a natty to get big, and cutting is necessary to not stay a fatty afterwards. Roiders dont need to cut, and often have no problem putting on size.

I've gone from 320 to 255 since February with massive DNP cycles, light weight training, and a strict clean diet. Tonight I fucked up and ate a single Pop tart and i want to fucking kill myself over it. My ex of 9 years left me and ever since I'm just an angry, weight loss machine. After I hit 200 I'm blasting Test E and getting fucking huge. Fuck that stupid bitch.

Does caffeine cut appetite? What does it do? I'll start my first cutt starting june but I'm drinking plenty of coffee during my bulk period

youtube.com/watch?v=ygF0VxmK6wI

For me it is hard to keep up the motivation to lift while cutting, and the caffeine helps make up for the lack of energy. Of course, a faster heart rate will burn more energy, so it helps lose weight too.

Also, you should be cutting now. If you start in june you will reach your goal just in time for winter, then nobody can see it. You bulk in the winter and cut down before summer.

slowly getting back on track after Easter binges with sweets and other goodies and other minor family obligations. I'm a fancy man today but hopefully there won't be another 96 kg bouncy bounce.I put my goal weights in 2 kg(aprox 4.5 pounds) increments, helps me with motivation and I only lower the bar after I've been at that weight or under for at least a couple of days.
If you're slightly less autistic I would recommend less frequent weigh-ins ,pref once every 3 days or weekly.
Always do it in the morning after you've pissed/shit,otherwise it's useless.

My lifts are pretty average I'll admit that. I just don't really care about some arbitrary on the plates. I care about how I look in the mirror. I look really good now, especially in combination with being Veeky Forums.
I'm doing really good with the girls now. Girls don't really like big guys that's the truth not a Veeky Forums meme. I also just feel way better being lean. I got loads of energy.

You must be very short, mane

I'm 6'3"

Yeah 5'8

You can make it, bro

You're already short. You don't want to be fat and short.

>getting pretty fucking impatient
>only lower ab fat left
>cutting on 1000kcals a days

I just want to finish this nigger bullshit already

Cutting is going pretty well. I've been studying abroad for half a year now, living by myself and am trying to lose as much weight before I'm going back to my frat house (Eurofag here) and will probably drink a lot again.

General question: how hard is it to gain muscle while losing weight? I've been eating under my maintenance level for a while now, and I have the idea that I'm also gaining muscle mass. Is this possible or is it just more visible?

I go to the gym 5 times a week and do strenght plus HIIT everytime. I eat a lot of protein (120-200g per day), so could I be gaining muscle while losing fat?

If you eat enough protien and stay a little under your tdee your body will use the fat to make muscle.

What do you guys think about jarred jalapeños? I've been putting them on my salads lately cuz the juices work as a nice dressing.
Too much sodium or nah?

same.

I'm down from 196lbs to 180lbs in 3 weeks. Feels good man.

oops, not OP

Terrible. Trying to subsist on as few calories as possible. Ate 1200 calories yesterday, lifted, ran, and other shit, went to bed at 9. Woke up at midnight starving. Held the tide for 3 hours. Ate a can of tuna. Held the tide for another hour and then said fuck this shit and drove to the grocery store and ate trail mix and an entire jar of almond butter. was up till 4 then slept directly after binge. NEVER GONNA MAKE IT. KILL ME NOW BREHS.

What do I do when the hunger pains hit,
And when my tummy growls in public

Went down two pants sizes on 1200 calories. Took a week off cause of my birthday now I'm on 1500-1600. All good I wanna bulk but first I gotta lose this belly. I've added strength and muscle so weight hasn't dropped drastically but pant sizes have.

Salad the fuck up and drink hella water

Is there a good approximation of how many calories one burns up by running a kilometer or a mile?

Its been almost 2 weeks and ive lost 5 pounds, is this good progress?

That's good progress but check how much you lose the next two weeks because those 5 pounds could've been partially water weight

Around 92kcals per 1 km run

Water weight etc.
Don't use a scale, use the mirror.

Lost 3kg in 3 weeks following Lyle McDonalds articles on nutrition.

I was on steady 500-1000 cal deficit for past few weeks, but haven't lost a fraction of a pound. Started at 171.2.. still at 171.2. I'm fairly confident in calorie defecit numbers, however, I've also started taking creatine few weeks ago. Can I assume the lack of weight loss is due to creatine plus water intake? My proportions do seem to shift a bit.. pants that were tight now fit looser, but shirt that was loose now feels tighter.

I look better in the mirror, less stomach fat, my clothes are fitting better.

If I'm no supposed to use a scale, how do I accurately track my progress? I'm doing 1200 cal a day and have not gone over. Some days I'm actually very, very under (like 750 cal in one day under)
