Who is /fat/ for? Fat members of Veeky Forums who want to learn how to eat right, lift weights, and lose fat. Here we ask others for advice and give moral support to one another. We all know how hard it first is and we all have to get through it to better ourselves. At the end of the day this is a support general whose goal is to help and motivate the chubby channers who need it. Please be warned that there are some chronic idiots who post in this general giving horrible advice that doesn't work for them or anybody. If you see something that contradicts what the sticky says, ignore it.
I think I am hitting well below my calorie goal but I feel like I am eating enough but I don't want to slow down my metabolism
Landon Wood
What's the best sugar substitute for black coffee?
Christopher Thompson
taste buds
Logan Cruz
This is it boys. In 12 hours I'll be on a plane to bootcamp. Thank you all. This thread and the fph threads got me from 285 lbs to 215 lbs at 5 foot 11 inches. It's going to be hard.
I'm scared.
But thank you all. Any advice?
Alexander Gonzalez
Not being a bitch and drinking it without sugar
Christopher Mitchell
I've managed to lose 45 pounds in 6 months and that is including some added muscle. It's really nice to have better fitting clothes.
I was just stretching on the floor and while laying on my side, my hip was resting on the floor without a bunch of fat in the way for the first time in a decade. it was an odd feeling for sure, but good.
Also, who else is playing sports to lose weight. I've been practicing basketball since the first of the year and my game and cardio has improved. I can't wait until the grass is dry enough to play golf.
Take care of your feet. My Dad was in the army and he said more people washed out because their feet couldn't handle all of the work in the army boots.
Benjamin Sullivan
Buy better coffee so you can drink it without sugar
Joshua Nelson
reporting in, 600 kcal PSMF
Jacob Murphy
Ice
I always make iced coffee and chug it. I am also almost always in a rush in the morning so there's that
David Martin
i play racquetball for cardio. incredibly intense game.
need to learn to control my anger though, that fucks you over in that game hard.
Eli Davis
Tell yourself that you deserve this. And that you're making it all "fair" at last; you're no longer gonna be the fat guy in the room if you stick to this for a few months
Luis Cooper
what branch and MOS user?
Christopher Cruz
I remember you from previous threads. You must be nervous and restless, iktf bro
Just stay strong and don't let any of it get to you, it's for the best.
William Ortiz
gl bro, embrace the suck
Lincoln Taylor
>my hip was resting on the floor without a bunch of fat in the way for the first time in a decade. it was an odd feeling for sure, but good.
Definitely relatable. When I lost 30 lbs 5 years ago I remember being able to really feel my hip bone in a long and being so shocked and pleased.
>tfw have to lose another 40lbs before I will feel that again
Kevin Reed
Congrats. I'm losing weight to play sport again, basketball too, down 12 lbs in 2 weeks.
Brody Wood
Does anyone else here like to feel their newly uncovered/developed muscles? It seems like I discover a new set of muscles every week and am in awe of my metamorphosis.
Alexander Foster
Is 1g of protein/lb really what I'm supposed to be eating on a cut? Anyone stick with this? Am I gonna have to eat 295 grams of protein a day?
Jayden Myers
1g per 1lb of LEAN BODY MASS.
Grayson Bennett
1g/lb of lean mass, not overall bodyweight.
Aaron Wright
6'2 308lbs -> 180lbs One Year.
Cut out all carbs, ate only a 1000 kcal a day and one kale smoothie (just water and kale)
The trick is hating yourself so much that you derive joy from the physical pain you get from the constant hunger.
Brandon Butler
>12 lbs in 2 weeks Nigga how
Not really about muscle but more about my fat. Like I notice earlier today how much smaller my arms are and sometimes I feel my thigh and I am like...nice
No. 1g/lb of lean muscle. And use your goal weight. If you're aiming for 200lbs, eat like....180g of protein. Someone verify this though I am not 100% sure.
Benjamin Perry
>The trick is hating yourself so much that you derive joy from the physical pain you get from the constant hunger.
O-okay...
Nonetheless congrats user! Still hate yourself?
James Parker
>Still hate yourself? Yes, but only because I'm not muscly.

Bentley Morales
You looked best in the second to left photo. Most current one you look kind of like a meth head and the haircut is bad.
Dylan Bell
I'm 6'9 350lbs with a TDEE of more than 4000 cals with just work. Can easily get it to 5000+ with working out.
Christopher Peterson
Congrats, did you any cardio or lifting too? Lots of loose skin from the loss?
Ian Baker
>cardio or lifting Rugby and manual labor work. (Digging ditches and carrying concrete bags.)
Aaron Wright
Good to know. They give us tennis shoes now.
Thank you
Navy. Undesignated
I'm so nervous. I'm scared. I miss my cat so much. I'm a little birch
Thanks. I hope my cat doesn't forget me.
Henry Campbell
a little birch?
Hudson Johnson
Yeah I meant bitch.
I'm going to fuck up in btc a lot I can tell.
Aaron Roberts
I'VE BEEN FAT MY WHOLE LIFE
I ENJOY CARESSING MY TITS
I USE MY T-SHIRT TO WIPE THE SWEAT FROM UNDER MY BOOB
THE WET MARKS ON MY T-SHIRT MAKES UNIQUE SHAPES EACH TIME I WIPE.
GUESS THE SHAPE YOU PLEB
FUCKING CASUAL DONT TOUCH ME
FUCK YOU FUCK OFF
Noah Sullivan
I just need to lose 14 lb but it's so fucking hard.
You overeat without even fucking trying to. Fuck my life.
Gonna just cardio 500 calories a day while eating 2100
John Gonzalez
Lowest calorie day in months and the feeling is of pure, ascended pride. Who /resilient/ here?
Jacob Gutierrez
This. Buy whole bean, keep it in an airtight container, grind right before using as you need it. I've NEVER put sugar in my coffee again.
Adam Murphy
when, as a fat fuck in recovery, is the appropriate time to start strength training? I'm currently down to 370. My idea was to get down to 250 before I get into some sort of routine, but I don't know what I'm doing so you tell me. I probably wouldn't even be able to do a single squat at this point.
Jeremiah Thompson
>breakfast >lunch >dinner >go to bed without shitting
>feel scared as though that weight is gonna stay instead of disappear cause you haven't shit recently
;~;
Cooper Phillips
should do calisthenics by 250 and weight training 200 I say but focus on losing weight m8, if you're not training or retaining much muscle mass you can just cut the calories harder
Austin Hill
2nd right picture is better imo but that's cause you have a better haircut
Dylan Hall
Guys I'm really scared.
I'm scared that I'll finally hit my weight goal and that I'll be skinny and happy, and then it'll all go to shit and I'll have to have surgery (I have a lot of medical issues, usually require one surgery a year but miraculously I haven't had one in three years) and I'll be back to being fat.
Christian Edwards
thanks bro. I figured focusing all of my energy on proper diet and cardio would be the way to go for a good long while until I'm "normal" sized and then start a strength training regimen.
Gabriel Rodriguez
80% of fat you breathe out dumbo.
Kayden Cruz
If i dont make the meals myself how can I calculate the calories?
William Parker
time to be a big boy and make your own meals. either that or get your caretaker / girlfriend / mom / whatever to do it for you. stress the importance of it.
Juan Fisher
There's no such damn thing as metabolic slowdown, on a study they starved people for a month and it barely decreased their metabolism by less than 10%.
Christian Morris
prove that metabolic slow down is a meme? i didnt know this, if this is true I can cut even more for faster results
Jacob Murphy
Joining the military with a girlfriend is just asking to be cucked.
Ryder Lopez
True unless thyroid damage
Google it on scholar. They have also studied metabolism on refugees and famine victims over several years, and the result was a marginal decrease which can be explained by decreased weight (and therefore a smaller engine to burn calories).
Is this thread a bait thread? One of the few times on Veeky Forums and it seems that you're all just as dumb as the general population with regards to weight loss, talking about "metabolic slowdown" like DUDE LMAO body generates 37.5 degrees out of magic or what. And "500 calories in cardio"... are you planning to run for 3 hours straight or what? And thinking you poo out most fat.
Eli Lee
Doing so well Keeping to my calorie count Ate a kfc burger
200 calories over my daily goal will make it but today was not a good day.
Nathaniel Richardson
good luck man
Jace Garcia
My smile and optimism: gone
Ayden Barnes
damn thats good
Eli Howard
>being fat is the path to true happiness
at last I truly see
Aaron Parker
I was 171.6 before playing soccer and 169.2 after, 2.4lbs of waterweight? is that normal?
(I never weighed myself after working out before)
Dylan Nguyen
no you definitely lost 2.4 pounds by playing a soccer game, well done m8
Landon Reed
maybe the scale is just broken then... fuck
Christopher James
>tfw ordering new clothes much nicer than anything you have now because they are in human sizes
good feel
Owen Smith
>can see ribs a bit when I lift my arms >still have love handles and fat ass Have I achieved skinny fat mode? Is this just shit fat distribution or do I keep the cut going?
Current stats are 6'5", 215 lbs, bf% I don't know.
Caleb Sullivan
From the side
Jaxon Green
if i go nofap will that help me lose weight any faster or does it just help make gains a bit easier?
also im day 2 on nofap. im getting all antsy and shit and want to just stop, how did you guys get through those early weeks?
Hudson Diaz
is this literally another bait?
Ian Jenkins
nah mate im being serious. i just want some quick info and then im gone.
Jayden Morris
It's funny to see how your expression on the last pic is so much different than the others.
Congratz famelam, welcome to skinny life.
Camden Nelson
There are literally no benefits to broscience on wordpress of no masturbation. Masturbation in itself may use 5-10 extra calories.
Grayson Howard
I don't do nofap because I'm not a retard who falls for pseudoscience bullshit, it's no better than homeotherapy. The only possible reason anyone could have for nofap is either because they've just had testicular cancer surgery or they're trying to cold turkey as a test phase for quitting smoking.
Leo Jackson
I would recommend walking
Doesn't make me hungrier while still burning calories
>tfw u currently walk 2hours (approx 14km) a day.
Jace Lopez
noted. k im done thanks guys.
Kayden Garcia
Your an idiot and your wrong
Asher Martin
>he doesn't know there are paid shills operating on Veeky Forums from the masturbation industry
good goy, nofap is just a meme
Bentley Gomez
Now I'm imagining Japs sitting at Tenga HQ and condom manufacturers frantically shitposting all over Veeky Forums
Noah Anderson
>ex bought me one of those eggs >dick explodes straight through it after the second use what a meme
Owen Cook
>tfw looser pants, boxers, and shorts >tfw ayy lmao arms >tfw no more jiggle on the bus I need new clothes too

Anyway, I used to be 260lbs, the walking thing is just what helped me (so that is why I recommended it)

Brayden Myers
207 down from 313. Im 5'7"
Im planning on getting down to 160-170
Jonathan Young
That it the entire point, user, and what happens when people lose weight. They don't plateau or go into starvation mode, their body shrinks and needs less fuel to do basic functions.
