So, I'm 28 years old, and nearly 400 lbs

Might as well post my progress

225 - 180

It can be done. It's rough, hurts like hell, but the rewards are more than enough to keep me moving forward.

biggest b8 ever. Two 300+ pound 'adults' debating over what carbs to eat with their skinless unseasoned chicken breast diet, and a former fatty with a success story on a diet that actually works isn't allowed to put in his 2c. This is why trump won.

>former

AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

>hey guys just diregard the correct macronutrient split for bodybuilding

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

your baits are so good im actually replying to them.

you CAN see that the image is dated in May of 2016 correct? or are you so retarded that your eyes have subjective vision

I've never been that fat but I was a bit chubby and what I had to learn was that to not be fat I had to resist eating shit most of the time.

I know how it feels to have a shitty day at work and solo a 16" pizza. You have to learn to make yourself happy with more sensible amounts of food.

Eating nothing but chicken breasts and broccoli and rice is a good way to instantly fail at your diet. 99% of people need variety or they will cheat like motherfuckers.

Then why don't you post a photo of you not looking obscenly fat?

idiot

Mirin that MAGA hat

user it's not too late if you start now. The most important thing will be making it a lifestyle change, not just a temporary diet.

I'm 19, 6'0" I was 331 when I started 6 months ago, and I'm down a little over 70 pounds at 258 today and still dropping.

The biggest key to achieving what I said above for me, was still allowing myself to eat those foods that I loved. You can eat anything you want and still drop pounds as long as you consume less calories than you burn.

This accomplishes two things.

You still get to eat the foods you love, so you're less likely to binge and fuck everything up

And it helps to create a healthier relationship with food. After a while, you learn that you'd rather have 200 calories of X than of Y, because one will keep you more full. I imagine my calorie limit for the day as an allowance, and everything I eat "costs" calories. It's maybe kind of autistic, but it helps me to consider the value of what I choose to spend my calories on.

How long did that take?
I'm trying from 206-180 RN you seem to be similar.

Anyone ever get mad when they see fatasses looking for someone to wipe up their greasy tears on here? We get it. You're fat. You eat too much. You're life story isnt unique. Eat less.

5 months. End of August to the beginning of January. I'll have to take a new pic soon.

>dat gut transformation
how
I have pretty flat stomach, except a lot of "pooch" and pretty much all fat no muscle.
I can probably effectively change quickly without too much effort but I need to do what you're doing

>(most people don't guess my weight correctly because my build evens it out fairly well)

they know how fat you are they're just trying to not hurt your feelings so you dont go down a tub of ice cream

This, ego death is a real thing and I've been through it.

I was 27 when I started.

Individual results may vary. Do what you will.

Damn user...
I've started browsing fit few years ago for the dank memes. Used to be a real Veeky Forumsizen, going to the gym daily. Unlike OP, I never been obese... But your respond spoke to me! The metaphor is right on point. Probably the best inspiring life message I've read on the web... Good job!

Great advice, man.
I recently came to a similar conclusion as you and It's been working wonders for me.

Damn dude, thats a whole lot of weight gone. Are you going to have surgery to remove excess skin?

What was your choice of diet and training? I'm 220 lbs now, I'm aiming for 200.

I'm so unsure how to do it. Should I drop weight first with cardio and low cal? or should I be lifting already now? Is it possible to lift and loose weight? Like 25lbs?

Mate, I've lost nearly 40kg in the past year - you can eat whatever you want, just track it. I drink, I eat shitty pizza, I don't exercise; those would probably make it faster, but I don't care.

Too many people get hung up on keto or skinless chicken and fruits and vegetables (which are good for low-calorie but filling), but it doesn't matter. Track your food, stay under your tdee by about 500, you'll lose weight.

You were not born fat. You should sue your parents and use the money on a home gym

What if my parents aren't fat but i am?

People are nice in general. You are not hiding your weight everyone knows.

You make your body what it is. its really that simple you can change it it just takes time, effort and a plan.

>pretty large build(most people don't guess my weight correctly because my build evens it out fairly well)
most people didn't guess you were a fat sack of shit directly to your face for the same reason that they didn't warn you that you were gaining 220lbs of fat.

read the fucking sticky. if you don't have hope after that just fucking kill yourself

first off, that pic is me over the last 1,5 years (6'4'' 375 lbs -> ~ 200 lbs)

>most people don't guess my weight correctly because my build evens it out fairly well

it doesn't. People can't guess your weight for the same reason we suck at estimating the weight of a building (I am not trying to be mean here, just honest)

>is there still hope for me, Veeky Forums? I've been fat all my life, and sometimes I wonder if at this point my body is so used to being obese and I'm so addicted to all the trash food I've been fed from birth, I'll just always backslide.

there is always hope. HAES was captured by fat femnazis but was originally intended to mean that you can't start living healthy no matter what size you are.

>some time ago I managed to improve. cut out all drinks except water(maintain that to this day), cut out all non-fruit sweets, and ate mostly just plain white rice and skinless chicken.

calories in < calories out and you'll lose weight. Don't create a crippling diet. It will only make you resent the weight loss process. learn to cook and count calories. Change your diet and stick to it. Don't try diet fads or starving yourself. learn moderation and stick with it for the long run!

Personal opinion:

I firmly believe that clinical obesity is the symptom of an underlying trauma. For me it was being neglected during childhood because I was a middle child. I hate for emotional support (also chronic masturbation). Really thing about your life and about why you might be unhappy and why you overeat the way you do. Learn to accept that your life may not have been perfect up until this point but it is in your hands to change that now. You are not an animal, food is not a reward or a replacement for love and affection. Learn to love and respect yourself. You need to learn that your life is of value and worth saving.

Not him. Im fat but hella short. 5'5 at 211. Used to be 225 at the start of the year. Ate at really low caloric intake and began running in the middle of the month. I REALLY have a hard time to like myself. I'm not the person I want to be and have been struggling to change for the better part of 3 years. I'm a leech to my family and I'm just a selfish person. I can only ever be honest to strangers on an anonymous board. Anxiety and avoiding social situations really hinders me to even apply to jobs. I know they are excuses but they manifest to make me continue to be a bag of shit.

and i thought i had man breasts

I used to be the same. It is a slow process and you can't microwave it. There is no 2 week course of changing your life.

Basically you make a card 7x7 squares and you check your box every single day you do your task. Start off easy by either eliminating one bad habit or try gaining a positive habit. The theory is that if you do something consistently for 7 weeks, you'll stop thinking about it and just do it because you've made it a habit.

Good cards to start are:
- counting calories for the day
- talking to one stranger (about anything, just a joke with the cashier or asking a stranger for the time)
- not smoking
- taking a cold shower
- going for a walk

I think it is great that you started jogging but considering your weight and joints I would advice going for a swim (I know that you don't want to show off your body half naked, neither did I, but swimming is the best cardio you can do). Speaking of cardio, the best thing you can do is start lifting, it will help you keep your muscle mass and help you lose weight faster.

You are not a bag of shit, you just feel like one. Think about what kind of person you would like to be. Would you like to be a person that is nice to others and is kind? Try to act the way you want to be and you'll get into the habit of being that person. This is a very stoic approach, but basically a thought without action is worthless. So when you think that you are a bag of shit, that means nothing. If you start acting like the person that you would like to be, you will become that person over time because your habits define who you are as person.

I know about the joints and the effects of doing HIIT at my current weight but not much else I can do in terms of cardio. I can't afford the gym or the equipment right now. I do remember the 7x7 post and the habit breaking just haven't put it into action. I did get some good advice on doing bleachers instead at the track
