Yeah, no kidding. This is me 5 minutes ago. But hey, "don't lose any more weight, user, you are getting too skinny - here's some ice cream with chips for ya!"
Meanwhile I absolutely hate my body and I'm starting to lose hope of ever looking like a normal person ever again - let alone being Veeky Forums in any way.
> 6', from 90kg to 84kg
> Still overweight but lost fat
> Healthy lifestyle changes and frequent jogging
>>>If I don't jog or maintain my lifestyle, I feel like I'm 100kg
you can do it man. Just stick to your diet and work out some. don't listen to other people trying to feed you. also please shave that hair or atleast trim it short
>Just stick to your diet and work out some
Dieting is the hardest part. I lift 4 times a week.
>shave
Never.
Just lift and eat a slight deficit, clean as possible. Few months later you could get pretty decent body
There was a similar thread about this last week. Some user pointed out that people are just not used to you making these changes, and they're pretty much forced to reassign the way they see you, which requires work. Since it requires work for them to change their pre-existing notions about you, they're going to try to fight against that and push you back to what they deemed normal and familiar.
user, keep cutting, and if anyone keeps pushing you to change back or sabotaging you, cut them off from your life either indefinitely or until they finally accept this new permanent you.
Thanks.
You can do it bro. I'm following the same journey. Used to be 325 at my highest, I'm down to 288. Diet is super important if you want to lose weight. For a year I tried to lift and make myself lose weight but 95% of it is diet.
Hang in there dude, stick with it. Your will is iron and will not be bent.
I want to go down to 130 and they tell me that's too thin.
This is the most annoying shit. Family thought I had anorexia. Still got plenty of fat on my stomach.
>start to do lots of exercise
>start to eat way less
>get MORE stretch marks
got the opposite problem, I'be got stretch marks from my underarms to my pecs and along the insides of my thighs from lifting now, but I guess I have physically evidence of progress. Still ugly tho
Fucking endocrine system is straight shit going trough puberty fat as fuck i have high estrogen (wide hips, bitch tits)
>never shaving, lol
then stop making threads and reposting your pic fishing for 'atta boys. your body hair is not attractive, shaving it would benefit everyone
Nobody will ever see me naked apart from these pics so who cares?
>Needing to be full
Not hungry is good enough for me familia
Also, didn't understand this part:
>fishing for 'atta boys
>I have collar and hip bones
Tfw so fat even after losing weight body still looks like shit from loose and saggy skin
Still never gonna be able to wear a swimsuit or tight clothing, penance for gluttony
Depends on height.
I'm 5'10. Came from 250, and when I hit 180 I was still a bit of a fat ass. Difference was that I packed on muscle mass. Right now I'm shooting for 165 so hopefully I'll have something better to show this summer, and that stupid pouch on my stomach that haunted me last year would have finally gone away.
Not sure if it's loose skin with some fat, or that rough last few pounds, but fuck me when I keep looking at my pics from last year, I can't help but gravitate to that spot and get infuriated.
>joocy calves
T H I S
I was raised with the mindset of
>Full = Stop eating
>Not full = Eat again
When it should be
>Not hungry = Don't eat
>hungry = eat
I'm nailing my cut just by changing my mindset. It's not as hard as I thought it would.
Food as fuel, not as fun. Keep it as your mantra anons, we're all gonna make it.
>Went from a 240 fat fatty hambeast to a 120 little twink
>Now back up to 170 single digit bf%
Oh how I remember the dreaded circumstances where I had to take off my shirt to get into a pool or something gay like that.

I can see my ribcage through my chest, but at least bulking back up will be cool because I have very little appetite for shit food but I can still eat a lot of food like a fatty.
>loose skin
>mfw I'm down to 160kg/353lbs at 6'5 (started 190kg/420lbs) and it's already starting to feel a bit loose
At least I'll be able to use my extra skin to glide like a wingsuit
>Dropped 20lbs
>In the past year
40lbs more to go, then I can spend 2019 bulking
299 to 250 here, be strong brother, we're all gonna make it!
kys you've already ruined your body, things will never be good for you looks wise.
No you don't mate. How I would love for my folks to be supportive. No. "Your cousin got anemic from losing weight!" Yeah ma, my cousin who starved herself all the way to the hospital. "Oh look at your other cousin anonette, she does zumba and weighs all her food and measures and she's so pretty! Why do you always weigh your food?! It's irritating! You can't go running five miles every other day, you'll die!" I fucking shit you not. That bit about weighing my chicken or fish to get the cals and macros, holy fucking shit user. The anger I felt when not ten minutes before she's going off about my cousin who does the same and is sooo healthy. That was the day I stopped letting her cook for me, period.
You listen to the people who don't want to see you succeed and you never will. Give thanks you have something giving you a positive push and not trying to hold you down.
Lets be honest, it's all about how you look.
If you look great, then maintain, but remember men can often be pretty biased towards there own body (think they look better than they are) while women often go the other way (think they look worse than they are).
72kg at 5'7 can be both good or bad (depending on your frame), but good on you for going down 8kg.
20kgs in 3 months, do you think it's possible? (6'2, 100kg -> 80kg)
It's the first week and i'm already down 5.4kg (I know the first week is often the best), eating very little cal and LOTs of protein, and I can overcome the hunger. But will 3 months be enough time?
Keep going, you're almost there!
>loose 23kg
>nearly at my initial goal weight
>built a lot of muscle
>tfw you spent so much time looking at pictures of buff guys, you're now even more unhappy with your body then before
>tfw your current body only looks good in comparison to old photos
>tfw you realize that a fit body doesn't make you attractive and that you still have an ugly face
>never good enough
Dude this is exactly me.
Not normal-sized yet but I have a question
I went from 104kg to 83kg and now I don't only see any changes but feel more anxiety and insecurity than before.
WHY
>you look good now, just put on muscle
>At fucking 18% bf
Possible. A bad idea unless you want loose skin.
I'm still losing weight, but it is a glorious feeling
>don't crave junk food
>don't crave sweets
>don't feel like overeating
>need to remind myself to eat even
>a meal the size of my fist is extremely fulfilling and even makes me feel bloated
>that amazing feeling when you stand up and your pyjama shorts fall
>that amazing feeling when shirts and pants and shorts that you couldn't even close now all fit you
>that amazing feeling when you motivated people to lose weight (and they actually lost it)
>wear your old clothes and they are basically oversized clown clothing now
>can normally sit on public transportation without feeling bad for taking up too much space with fatness
I don't even care if I will have some saggy skin on my stomach once I'm done.
Now I can hike, now I can walk for long, now I can do all the shit I wanted to do.
Doable, horrible idea though. Your body (and you) will struggle real hard
>Lost 100 lbs
>Still a bit of a gut
>Know i'm on the home stretch
>Keep getting discouraged
>Get stoned
>Eat a box of ice cream sandwiches
>Stare unto the fatty abyss
>See it staring back
>Been losing the same 15 lbs for 6 months
Not going to make it.
>loose skin
Would this (the amount of loose skin) happen regardless? Or would taking more time give more time for muscles to grow, making loose skin less noticeable
What would be some warning signs? I'm fine at the moment (if not a bit more tired then usual).
>Get stoned
Lad, if you're tired then you're lacking vitamins and/or minerals.
Be smart about your low caloric intake.
Welp, off to the pharmacy then.
It's the first week bruh, that's why
You will lose too much muscle, you will be tired all the time, it will be hard to stick to, you will probably get deficient in some micronutrient, your hormones could get fucked up, your skin can't adapt and you will get tons of loose skin etc
Not him, but I gained muscle while lifting in extreme caloric deficiency and was (still am) more energetic.
I think you are right about the micronutrients, but I am eating a fuckload of protein and working out. I'll head to the pharmacy and buy some fish oil and multivitamins.
You already look 'normal' just not good at all
They don't know shit anyway
>Family thought I had anorexia
>Eating 170g of protein a day and getting all my vitamins
when will they learn
Veg. last meal i had 150g brocolli, 80g peas, 80g carrots, 100g green beans and 1/2 a white onion. All shoved in with some chicken to make a pot pie mix without the crust. I was so fucking full and im an ex fattie who could eat SO much food before.
I just eat a few chicken breasts everyday, fish is way too expensive
THIS
Holy shit this makes me angry as hell. Why the fuck do people do this?
Vegetables. Fiber supplements. Anything and everything to keep your stomach feeling heavy.
You can fight big appetite.
They're gain goblins trying to stop you from making it
> ex fatty
> bulking
Nope. Ex fatties can't bulk. Your body will prioritize making fat over muscle. You'll never be buff.
>Ex fatty can't bulk
>Using meme anecdotes based on no science
>skinnyfat af
>I still need to lose at least 10 - 15 pounds
>all my friends and family think I'm starting to develop a problem with weight loss
wut
> meme anecdotes
Enjoy getting fat again.
Reminder to lift even when cutting. Noob gains will help you establish an idea of what your body will look like with some muscle and help you approximate what weight you're okay to stop cutting at.
>white stretch marks from being fat
>red stretch marks from gaining muscle
I look like a badly cooked piece of meat
Drives me up the fucking wall.
Same 18% body fat percentage. BMI 22 in the upper green/median take my fucking supplements, greens and protein cut at a modest 500 kcal.
Mom, Dad & Stepdad all saying "You are getting too skinny user", "You'll get anorexia if you continue", "You look fine no need".
Mean fucking while I have a little brother who has obesity who they don't (dare to) bother with this shit. Brought it up once to my dad. He could not answer and changed the subject.
>Brought it up once to my dad. He could not answer and changed the subject.
>Mom, Dad and stepdad
Well no shit he couldn't face a hard question, he's obviously a beta cuck
ikft
I've actually been contemplating suicide for years and your post pushed me over the edge. Goodbye.
>I have a little brother who has obesity
Call child services on your parents.
Meat is still better than shit
>loose skin from dropping 24kgs, so no sixpack
>Tfw I just ate mac do
Not even at my fattest.
>tfw I lost 150 lbs
>Tfw loose skin
>tfw gyno
>tfw still have stretchmarks
I actually dont give a fuck and feel a shitload better now
You've activated some deeply repressed feelings from me. I'm down 20 lbs from my heaviest (190) and have 10 more to go by my family insists that I'm a thin twig already. That must explain the saggy bitch tits and why I always wear a jacket cause I'm ashamed of my body
My gf is 5'4 and 100 pounds. People give her so much shit for being skinny to the point where she binge eats ice cream to try and gain weight. It's really fucked up and I just want her to be happy with her weight because she is stunning
You made it bruh, your skin will get better.
How long ago did you startlosing weight? It takes two year from the point yoi start losing alot of weight till yoir skin retracts completely. I'm the guy above you and my tits are still bad but they were horrible, truly horrible at the start of losing weight. Filling it up with muscle also helps alooooot. Get over the shame aswell, you probably try to hide your tits by leaning forward, yes it makes it look better in clothes but makes it wprse in the end. You'll get forward rolled shoulders, tightening your back and keeping your chest forward and proud will get you alot better results in the end. Stand proud my man.
As fpr your folks, fuck what they say and dk what you want. Make it clear to them that this is what you want and them naggibg about it not only demotivate you but also make you feel like shit and ashamed. If they continue with it just say "Why are you saying this? Do you want me to feel bad? Have I done anything wrong to you today?" They will start to think about why they do this and eventually stop. This is psychology and it works unless they truly are dickheads or have traits of a personality disorder.
Thanks bro.
But I have gyno under this. It already contracted to it's max but I can still fill it up a bit with muscle. As for the stomach pouch, I will get surgery, it's the only thing that bothers me and it does get in the way when I'm on top in missionary.
But like I said I dont care, at the start I really was ashamed of it but after I got a 9/10 qt as a FWB who didn't mind it the shame went away.
Jesus Christ. Why do people do this. My parents have literally told me to stop losing weight on several occasions and I easily have amother 30 - 40 lbs to go
Your skin will get better as you lose more fat from those "pockets". And then you can get surgery. Also, I don't think you have gyno, only a combination of loose skin and small amount of fat. Pic related is gyno.
Congrats, you already look way better than me.
t.
Are they fat? They're just mad you're succeeding where they failed.
I have never had a healthy person say that to me.
Actual gyno from years of being fat and that estrogen. It's going to haunt me forever. I'm gonna have visible abs and flabby tits.
>Never even really that fat
>Get to super low bf
>Gyno nips wont go away and lower abs are forever hidden
I don't look TERRIBLE but unless i wear a tanktop underneath everything i wear i look fatter than i really am thanks to nips.
I KNOW THIS FEEL
my room mate actually actively dislikes me now that I'm thinner. It's retarded
I have no problems feeling full. But I miss eating whatever whenever.
fuel makes you fat
How to avoid loose skin? If you do get it what can you do to fix it?
How to avoid stretchmarks? If you do get them what can you do to fix them?
I heard coconut oil is good for both so I'm doing that right now.
