Last thread at 300lbs 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 have a problem, /fat/. i've completely lost my appetite. i dont mean it in a "i cant eat 15 hamburgers like i used to", but more like "i struggle to get 1500 calories of junk food in my stomach over an 18 hour period". srs, i get hungry once a day but a single sandwich and i'm stuffed to the gills. some days i can only get in 1000-1200, but my TDEE is ~2900 with a sedentary lifestyle and i do 2-5 hours of cardio a week and do a modified version of starting strength on top of it. i have yet to feel any side effects, other than being a bit more sore after lifting or an extra hard cardio session, but i'm not stupid and its only a matter of time before my body starts to really understand i'm consistently undereating by a significant margin. even though i fucking hated it at first, i dont want to stop doing cardio or lifting but i also don't want to lose every bit of muscle and sanity that i have left while also fucking up my internal organs. >SW: ~198lbs @ 25-26% >CW: 180 @ 18-19% time frame: ~3 months i'm hoping to be near 10% by the time i hit 160lbs, but in order to do that i'll have to maintain some level of muscle and, by extension, a moderately healthy and consistent level of caloric intake >tl;dr fatty can no longer eat. needs advice on how to not ruin health and organs
Angel Foster
Have you recently had some drama in your life? Depression and emotional stress makes me physically unable to eat without vomiting. Why are you complaining though? Great way to cut down, just drink protein shakes or whatever high cal-protein heavy shit you can shove down
Julian Stewart
i have generalized depression and anxiety, but nothing out of the normal has happened recently. and having a reduced appetite isnt a problem, but being unable to eat to the point where you're eating like an anorexic seems like it would be a problem for someone trying to improve their health
Nicholas Myers
I'm about to have fast food for the first time in the month.
McChicken no mayo. Because my house is out of chicken and I can't go all day eating nothing but eggs and potatos.
James White
>eating potatos at all >not just eggs, all day every day never gonna make it
Easton Rogers
>already lost 20 pounds >all I'm doing is cal in cal out and watching my macros
I'll be fine, bitch.
Isaiah Young
sounds like a weak person making excuses. Sad!
Gabriel Walker
Tried doing Alternate Day Fasting a la Krista Varady and felt naseous as fuck on fast days for a week. Anyone else have similar experiences?
I'm just sticking to daily caloric restriction from now on
Angel White
>Cut for the Führer edition thanks for losing my motivation biggot op. Now I am going to eat the cake in the fridge.
Jacob Russell
hi nick
Carson Myers
i am the mentally strongest here
challenge me
Jordan Thompson
What happens when you reach your goal weight? I can't possibly keep logging everything I eat in mfp forever
Christopher Wright
thats why you want to get validation from a retarded online forum that is full of autistic manchildren?
Brayden Cooper
Ok. You asked for it.
Daniel Perez
Maybe you should try not being a little bitch. Nice trips though.
1) You won't harm your organs unless you eat
Kayden Nelson
>Mom asks me if I want a shamrock shake to go with my mcchicken >Say no obviously, but put it into MFP to humor the idea >73 grams of sugar
Yeah, how about never again. It's like you're drinking a glass of toothpaste with 73 grams of sugar poured into it.
Asher Turner
Post a pic of ur dick in a mousetrap
Carson Green
Why not?
Anyhow, the ultimate goal should be to learn and adopt a healthy lifestyle. After a while it will become second nature and you shouldn't need MFP to realize how much you should be eating.
Lucas Allen
im not gonna flaunt my superiority in public like some douchebag, obviously
Liam Stewart
The second I stop autistically measuring and recording everything I eat I start to gain again. I'm terrible at intuitive eating, but I don't want to live in fear of food or yo-yo diet for the rest of my life
Robert Morris
boggles my mind how I used to just mindlessly eat I'd buy a 4 pack of double chocolate muffins and eat them all in the same night usually after a whole pizza insane
Jose Hughes
i would sometimes get one of these and eat the whole fucking thing
old me makes me sick
Jonathan Peterson
Don't you learn to eyeball how many calories your meal contains after a while? As long as you eat the same few meals over and over and monitor your weight like once a month you'll be fine.
Alternatively, you could try fasting for a couple of days each week
Jason King
I worked at a bakery for a year and would literally take home 10kg of pies, donuts, scones, sugar buns, sandwiches, everything that was left at the end of the day. And eat everything. My lunch break food was somehow even worse
Camden Howard
oh yeah, I used to work in a food court and we got free meals burger king or kfc, anything 'within reason', 5 times a week sometimes I'd get some to take home too it was free, I couldn't turn it down lesson learned though
Levi Adams
6'4" finally below 230lbs. Was at 275 back in October. I'm hoping I'll be at 200lbs by July or August.
Kevin Hill
>was 103kg when i started exercicing >stopped after too weeks because too lazy >left gym with 96kg >i'm still the same weight since then
should i go back and try again /fat/?
Brandon Smith
losing weight is 90% diet but giving your metabolism a boost certainly can't hurt
Jacob Sanders
How did you stop? I just ate 7 clif bars and a bag of roasted chick peas after a 90 minute walk/run. Can't stop thinking about what I'm gonna shove into my face before bed and already thinking about cinnamon raisin bagels for tomorrows breakfast.
I want off this ride.
Ayden Collins
Ate breakfast and much clean, only at 1044 calories. Will it be bad for cutting if I eat a burger and fries or a small pizza because I can't make it home for dinner?
TDEE is 3200 cal
Adam Barnes
Help me Veeky Forums, my Mom just brought home a medium Dr. Pepper from McDonalds what do I do
Jayden Johnson
Ask her to drink it so you don't
Jack Scott
SHE JUST HAD MAJOR DENTAL WORK SHE CAN'T DRINK POP FOR A WEEK
MY DAD DOESN'T DRINK ANYTHING THAT'S NOT DIET COKE
IT'S JUST STARING AT ME, Veeky Forums HOW DO I KILL IT
Alexander Scott
I still love you Jeffrey
Isaiah Clark
i'm at around 30% body fat, will i have loose skin if i try to lose weight? i don't want to look like a fucking walking ballsack.
Parker Phillips
Drink it then fill up the cup with water and slam that shit for punishment.
Oliver Garcia
Not if you loose it slowly.
Xavier Moore
sure feels and looks higher than 21%
James Nelson
i just really wanted it man, woke up one day and was done fuckin around
Jackson Reed
DUMP IT
Kevin Bailey
I thought that was a meme? But if it's true if I lose a pound of week will I be safe?
Oliver Edwards
What do you expect it would look like at 21%?
Aaron Rodriguez
im hungry and tired and want to cry all the time
Gabriel Smith
Dump it down the drain man, the longer you wait the worse it's going to get
Jaxson Perez
even if you have saggy skin it can still heal over the next few years, the body can do some magic shit
Ayden Bell
Long time fatty, long time poster
Your op is quite edgy mein negger
Jaxon Sullivan
Tfw 52% body fat
Justin Martin
Skip the fries at least but honestly I'm cringing at the thought of all those empty calories
Daniel Reyes
You don't need to "kill" it. Think of resisting it as a test to your will power
Oliver Scott
better than this
those are my god-honest measurements, I didn't even lie about height like I usually do
Benjamin White
>if you fill your stomach with water you won't feel empty after meanls and will eat less can this shit actually work or am i just memeing myself?
Charles Perry
Yea I don't want to eat dirty I've been doing really good eating clean but I forgot my cooler with dinner at home. Only other option close to here is subway
Jacob Gutierrez
Is it OK to eat really big but low calorie meals? For example, I just ate dinner; chicken breast (boneless skinless of course) and an entire bag of brussel sprouts. I'm fuckin stuffed and according to MFP it was only 368 calories.
Carson Evans
it's quite a feat to become more fat than man
Nathan Nelson
It's absolute bullshit. You'll just be starving and bloated.
Henry Parker
did you eat your chest hair or what?
Matthew Fisher
>tfw 30% bf
Hunter Adams
It seems like you have a somewhat abnormal distribution of fat but still that looks about right
gif related is another guy about the same bf%
Jacob Reyes
Not that guy but you don't still have the cravings though? I want it just as bad as you man and I stay on my diet but I still think about binging and eating 25 packs of Welchs fruit snacks in one sitting. It's worse when I'm near my family, which of course is stress related. But still.
Colton Gutierrez
Top kek
Ethan Martinez
Hunger and thirst are triggered by different mechanisms. That being said, many people mistake thirst for hunger when slightly dehydrated. Try drinking the water first. See if it helps.
James Thompson
Interesting, and relatable, please elaborate.
Samuel Perry
Part native american, I've never grown any
I'm way down from my starting weight but I just want this wild ride to be over
The tits are a major source of insecurity for me
Ryan Morales
I know I was a lil turned off by the OP as this isn't /pol/
Jeremiah Scott
>TDEE is 3200cal No it isn't. Stop putting your exercise levels at anything but sedentary
Go to sleep
It's not bullshit if he drinks lots of water before and during meals, he will fill up way faster once some real food is in his stomach and it's a great way to eat less
Kayden Gray
Subway is still better at least you pretend you're eating clean
Gavin Cook
>the sight of a bernd in the ss actually discomforts you I don't post on /pol/ but come on guys, just because our bellies are soft doesn't mean your skin needs to be too
Christopher Sanders
>215 pounds >a single meal of 1200~ a day, maybe a couple of snacks for 200 >75-90 min of cardio 4x a week
How long until I wish to kill myself
Juan Sullivan
I did put my activity level as sedentary on multiple apps and it says I need to eat 3200 to lose weight.
Grayson Perry
Not the guy you were talking to, but I just got on the healthy eating ride about 2 weeks ago. I gave up soda last time I tried back in August, that was the hardest part for me, took months to get over the cravings for that. As for my current situation, I was literally eating nothing but pizza, mcdonald's, and baked goods. Once I started eating right, I haven't touched any of it, not even a little. For me the only way to get over cravings is cold turkey. The only thing that makes me want to go back to a shit diet is the dish washing after I eat, that shit sucks man.
I live alone though, so I don't have anybody tempting me with shit, besides friends trying to get me to go to the chinese buffet. Just think about how much you don't want to be fat anymore user. It should keep you going strong.
Sebastian Jenkins
>No it isn't. Stop putting your exercise levels at anything but sedentary
We aren't all sedentary manlets like yourself.
Carter Butler
You don't have a gf.
Ryder Thompson
Do you need lotion for your vagina?
Connor Campbell
DYEL?
Kevin Wood
I went from 57-58 to 55 kg, I'm pretty satisfied
Eli Peterson
My TDEE, according to MFP is 2960 at sedentary level, so it's believable, user is just really fat.
Cameron Young
Oh man. These are my weakness too. I love Welch Fruit Snacks. But you have an addiction and need to recognize it. No different than an addict with a needle.
Jaxon Sanchez
Trust me I know it sucks man but they'll go away if you get down to at most 12%
Hunter Flores
No joke I feel like living alone is an important factor in losing weight.
Aiden Williams
i feel the craving sometimes, but i quench it fast, i crave my next healthy meal instead, i crave some celery or spinach now
Chase Carter
has anyone else gotten depressed or bitter after losing weight?
i've lost 108 pounds in the last year but i'm even more depressed and angry than i was at my highest point. i don't know why but i think it's partly because my days have become so tedious and repetitive.
Noah White
6', did SS and Texas for a while, but moved to another city and fell in a rut. Felt that I'd rather lose 60lbs or so quickly and then get back mass slowly.
Jaxon Allen
I know it's an addiction and I'm eating clean and exercising but I still W A N T to binge. How do I cope with that?
Benjamin Parker
I consider myself to be really lucky because I've always had a healthy diet, never liked soda and alcohol, don't like sauces, never ate premade food at home, loved vegetables since I was a kid... So I've only had to do minor changes, like using less olive oil, eating less bread...
Gabriel Clark
IIFYM I love Brussels sprouts
Tyler Long
Just got over norovirus (24 hour vomits and shits) Lost 7lbs alone in these two days I've been sick
Is norovirus the key to cutting?
Asher Green
I disagree living with my college roommate makes me want to not binge because I want her to THINK that I'm a well adjusted human being.
Living with my parents/alone there's no consequence for over eating
Ian Green
Welcome to normie-hood
Angel Murphy
epic my brother *brohoof*
Jaxon Cox
Yes. It also destroyed my addiction to Musli bars when I got it because puking up oats isn't fun.
Logan Jackson
A lot of junk food cravings is the marketing. If you can avoid some of that it will get easier.
James Lewis
Fuck me dude The night I came down with it I ate a plate.of.mashed potatoes, peas, and corn
Corn coming out of both ends explosively is horrible Never again
Jack Robinson
I quit soda cold turkey about 5 years ago. I was a pretty big drinker, sometimes above 2l a day.
I was wondering, did anyone ese had nightmares when quitting? During the first 2 months after quitting I remember having nightmares were I drank soda and I woke up terrified and drenched in sweat. I had about 6 or 7 before they went away.
Juan Clark
Can someone help me understand if my jawline is shit or not? This is me from like 2011 back in high school (like 17, ignore the thug look I sucked at photos). Right now I'm overweight (6'2 and 220 lbs) but I've been losing weight, used to be 240 a month ago and was just wondering what I'm looking forward too.
Asher Reyes
This is how I looked 2 years ago for those interested
Tyler Morales
So about fat facial hair.
When you lose weight, does your neckbeard migrate from your neck to your chin?
Liam Jones
I had nightmares when I stopped smoking weed.
Now I have dreams that I'm smoking weed.
David Barnes
Bruh your jawline is fine
Josiah Nguyen
>tfw playing basketball with my buddy last week >my buddys fratbro says hi, nice guy, havent seen him in months >buddy tells me that his friend was asking him wtf happened to me, and that I looked really good d-does that count as a mire?
you look average to me desu. you'd probably be attractive at low bf% since your face looked a bit chubby there
