I'd recommend Lyle McDonald's book, stubborn fat solution. It's a great read for anyone, but you'd benifit from it tons.
Hudson Sanchez
34lbs this year doesn't seem like a lot, compared to last year

thanks
calisthenics and cut at around 1700kcal
will look into
Alexander Martinez
How is it even possible to become obese? I'm a lifelong skeleton and honestly it's impossible for me to gain weight anymore despite being on a bulk. I eat shit like pizza and drink soda every day but I still can't eat sufficient calories to gain weight. Can you guys help me? I need to bulk up because I've exhausted my nose gains and need more muscles. And to get more muscles I need to eat.
Ethan Long
Mental illness mostly. You eat when you feel depressed or anxious. For me that's about 10 times a day.

34 lbs is still a noticeable amount, good job fatty!
>I eat shit like pizza and drink soda every day Unless you're eating a whole pizza and 2L of soda a day you're not gonna get fat, it's about quantity
Julian Miller
You have the same problem as they have, just reversed.
For example a fat person will be like >I've tried everything but I just can't get skinny you're so lucky! >as they continue to snack throughout the day because they never considered those snack to have noteworthy calories For you it's >It's impossible for me to gain weight! I eat shit like pizza and soda everyday! >Obviously I don't know your exact situation, but unless you're counting calories I'm willing to bet that you're not actually eating a lot of calories, even if it seems like you are always eating "shitty" foods and drinks
But cmon man this shit is explained in the sticky, so why the hell are you here being a complaincunt, gtfo and read it
Easton Jackson
Hey /fat/ I have finally found the perfect foods that keep me satiated throughout the entire day, I never feel hungry. [spoiler] Doesn't remove my compulsive need to eat deal with emotions and boredom, though [/spoiler]
Anyway the most filling, healthy meal is as follows:
1/2 a cup of brown rice 1/2 a cup of roasted vegetables (zucchini, sweet potato and onions) microwave that shit 1 cup of bean salad (beans, cucumbers and cilantro) mix everything and consume
i ate that seven hours ago and I am full as fuck
Caleb King
I got really upset and thought i wasn't going to make it then i realized i'm losing at the same rate you are
Nicholas Hall
7 weeks, down to 195 from 202. Just doing cardio every other day, hoping to add lifts soon. Going to do squat,bench press with the bar alone, but what is a good beginner dead lift?
Elijah Kelly
Height?
Nicholas Moore

Juan Cruz
>Tfw my mom's tacos might have pushed me over my calorie limit
A-at least I lifted heavy today right?
Eli Brown
You'll need to get to 1pl8 if your gym doesn't have bumper plates because the height the bar starts at is important. Just play around with it till you get the feel of how strong you are with DLs

Alright thanks, I'll look into the bumper plate thing
Adam Wilson
This is a chart I made last night, taking a few years of my experience. And what i'll be doing to re-lose all my weight. My take-a-ways are not much different than the common wisdom.
Doing a slow, steady cut is better in the long run for slight overweight people, (40-50lbs). What's even better for those "small fats" (ahahaha) Is to start doing cardio, even if you're really fucking shit at it. Improve as much as you can doing any cardio you can (best is running/swimming for bloodflow reasons) so when you can delay the period of treading water and having to waste 2weeks gaining some weight back and resetting.
For those 100+lbs overweight, a more efficient strategy is to just embrace the large cut. The fatter you are the further you are away from the Adequate nutrition line, and can spend a large period of time at a large deficit doing fine, frankly. And when you have to reset, it'll be far off, and once done should think about going to a typical cut. Building your endurance however you can during any phase will pay dividends with weight loss.
I'm about 40lbs overweight. Right now. My plan is to spend 1 week eating like I have been, but logging all my meals. Find out where my tdee is currently while I focus on improving my cardio as much as I can. While lifting 3-4times/week making sure my protein consumption isn't bad. After that I plan to do a -500 cal cut, and to try and match the natural tdee lowering with increasing cardio when I can. Delaying and minimizing the amount of calories you need to cut is the goal.
Nicholas Bailey
>You pinned all your hopes on that you were just fat and not ugly >You were wrong
David Lewis
Start drinking 2 large milkshakes a day on top of whatever else you normally eat
Xavier Ward
Did your stretch marks basically go away? I can barely see them now.
You got some pretty awesome genetics btw, though your fat storage sorta sucked.
Lincoln Morales
apparently leto drank 2-3 tubs of ice cream a day or made some kind of melted ice cream/oil/fudge smoothie
gotta eat big to get big
Nathaniel Bell
we're all gonna make it
Ya pretty much, it's weird they were still really bad for a while then when I hit the 160s they all went pale within a week. They're just thin little raised bumps now.
Liam Cox
Hello fat
I've been doing steady weight loss about 2 to 3 pounds a week, now I'm asking seriously I'm not trying to shitpost but I have to ask, how much more frequent and bigger were your bowel movements during weight loss? When I wasn't giving a crap about life my poops I'd say we're average size and I'd do them every other day or so, now I'm taking a dump every day some pretty small and some I feel like I've birthed a child.
Ayden Miller
> tfw people are still struggling to cut when they could just do fasting and watch the pounds melt away with 0 effort.

Any dedicated fat losing bros wanna be MFP friends? Nice to have competition / motivation, helps keep a guy in line

When I ate like a piggy I only shit little pellets like twice a week, now I'm cutting and eating healthy and I have a small log daily

Wyatt Brown
overeating in the meal window
Robert Price
1 full plate for only 400-450 calories. Not bad
Isaiah Lee
REALLY need some new pants I'm wearing 42" waist jeans with a belt You could fit two of me in these
Cameron Johnson
Aww fuck the depression is back. What's the point of losing weight when we'll all be dead within 80 years anyway? Back to the nothingness for eternity.
Jack Bailey
I'm drinking too much tea (5-6 big cups a day) but they help me to not get hungry every hour until my next meal. Is that bad or I'm just a paranoid fatass? I use stevia btw.
Easton Richardson

Ryder Rogers
Further info - 6'1" 210 rn. Dropped down to 190 then I caved and ate my way all the way back to 243. Turns out I have an addiction to food and an eating disorder, and I'm focusing on reducing how much I binge and restrict while still losing weight reasonably at the same time.
Anyone have any advice for a guy who has a terrible relationship with food?
Samuel Wilson
Hey fat how you doing? What's good? What's real good?
Posting late at night because I can't get a fuckin wink of sleep.
While I'm at it I'll ask ya something.
How many of you exercise from your job? I'm about to get into a night shift warehouse job with some close friends. Apparently, it's 8 hours of a lot of walking and moving boxes and shit. Friend I got tells me he lost weight from how hot it was in there and the physical activity from doing it full-time. If I get in I can expect the same level of work but will probably have to adjust my diet a bit because of it. My question is how many of you use have jobs that let you lose weight while working? What jobs are we talking here?
Robert Brooks
Go vegan. It's helped me a lot with my cravings because most of the foods that are bad for me I can't eat anymore. It's also much healthier.
Brody Reyes
FUCK OFF
Austin Stewart
Yeah not interested, sorry. I'd rather keep doing dnp and methamphetamine cycles than go vegan.
Ayden Ortiz
This is my nightmare. I'm. 6'3" 214 down from 240. I'm eating 2000 calories a day which is enough to barely lose weight and not enough to progress on lifts. Feels bad man.
Jayden Hill
Please stop shilling in every /fat/ thread.
Noah Perez
That was where I was at for approximately 2 weeks at 190. I ended up bending to my cravings after a girl rejected me and I ordered takeout and played runescape for 4 days straight. Ended up falling off the wagon completely and just started eating like shit all day again.
Looking back on that event is how I realised food is my addiction and my coping method. I've done cocaine, cannabis, opiates, methamphetamines, MDMA, liquor and a whole host of psychedelics, basically every substance under the sun, and many at the same time. Yet nothing compares to the euphoria I get from a big greasy takeout dinner in front of my computer. Thinking about seeing a therapist to try and fix my food dependency for when I'm depressed.
Ethan Bennett
Hey guys. First time poster here. Long time lurker.
I'm at around 265 right now, and abour 6 feet tall. I wanna get to around 200 by July. Is this possible? What's the best way to achieve this? I mainly walk about a km to the mail box every few days now and I especially struggle with chips and greasy food cravings. And soda. Any advice on how to lose weight in a healthy way within a few months? Also don't have a gym nearby unfortunately so I can only go once in a while and my bike is really uncomfortable and I live in a small town. I will swim in the lake in the summer. Any tips? Please help. Always struggled with gaining and losing and gaining again due to anxiety/depression/loving fatty foods.
Nicholas Edwards
Hey /fat/
I'm the guy who started his fourth time after being on Veeky Forums for a few years now.
I don't get it, I have a nice job now, a free sport membership to go to the gym or a swimming pool, but i just stick to cutting my TDEE and nothing more. It's like I'm too autistic to go to the gym, since I'm afraid of all the hassle of carrying around a bag with a towel and workout clothes all day, since there are no gyms near me and that's the only way i could do it. Does literally anyone else think so much about such a petty issue?
As for my diet, I fucked up yesterday and went a little over my TDEE, but in managing it - not a problem, since i fucking adore steamed broccoli and chicken. Need to get a rice cooker somehow, but these are fucking impossible to find in Poland.
Cooper James
I feel ya user. I always have struggled with food addiction too. I need a good plan to finally break the cycle. It's so hard. Cravings suck.
Aaron Miller
Read the sticky. Eat below your TDEE. Exercise at home. It's not entirely impossible to lose that much weight in few months, but it won't be easy.
Luke Long
I think talking about it and focusing on my goals has always helped me move past cravings. Also reminding myself that food does not control me, but I control my food. I don't need to eat to feel happiness, I can find happiness from within.
Lincoln Powell
>It's like I'm too autistic.
Stopped reading there, you fucking mongoloid. Get off your fucking high horse and deal with it, retard. Everyone has problems you're not a special snowflake.
Also just because you are cutting doesn't mean you can't do other shit you'd normally do unless you're too stupid or lazy to balance it into your life.
You don't deserve this advice if you're not willing to look at yourself first.
Isaiah Brooks
Hey fats, anyone got any tips on how to not fall back into a binge and restrict cycle after a cheat day? I want to go out on the weekends and get fucked up and enjoy a fat dinner afterwards, but I don't want to destroy my progress at the same time.
Connor Harris
Hey /fat/
Who /looseskin/ here?
What do, guys?
Juan Williams
anyone on MFP add fakomilif
I used to have a few friends from fit but they're all inactive (sleep tight porkers) just fun to check the progress directly from other anons
Joshua Foster

>I want to go out on the weekends and get fucked up and enjoy a fat dinner afterwards, but I don't want to destroy my progress at the same time.
Choose uno fatso. You have to earn these nights out.
Elijah Baker
How much water weight do people usually lose when they start losing weight? I'm down 17lbs, in 2 weeks, how much of that is just water?
Juan Garcia
Don't think it's possible to lose 65lb that fast. You'd need a 2500 calorie deficit a day which is impossible without medical assistance.
Easiest thing is to cut drinks, only drink water. A cup of juice or milk at most a day for the nutrition. Portion snacks and sweets properly. Exercise you can just do basic cardio programs where you can increase in duration every week.
Jacob Bell
why is everything kitchen related expensive or shit? A big pan that doesn't have awful reviews on amazon starts at 50$, a big pot is 25$ if you also want a steamer and rice cooker you can easily hit 200$.
Leo Jackson
Half the fun of going out is getting a big greasy 3am pizza afterwards with the drunk slut you picked up. I just want to keep losing weight with that extra 1000 calorie day. Maybe I'll do an extra hour of cardio beforehand so I feel like I've earned it.
Cameron Lee
How fat are you.
Caleb Jones
yup but you'll also lose the most fat when you start too, compared to the final pounds
Henry Martin
Holy shit just why are you complaining about pots and pans on Veeky Forums, go to a thrift store or something fuck. If you have such high standards go steal them and work on that chub while you're at it.
Elijah Fisher
Take a two week break, slowly go back up to maintenance. Start adding in cardio to make up your deficit instead of subtracting calories.
Cooper Evans
I'm 6'9, 350. Got about 100lbs to lose.
Jacob Clark
>eat some oatmeal >it was low calorie and rich in nutrients >but it tastes delicious so I still feel guilty I'm more fucked up than I thought
Sebastian Carter
Get really lean, empty that skin of fat. It'll receed more that way. It'll take a while, regardless and might not ever go away. You can "fill it up" by bulking a ton, but that has it's limits. After a few years and you're more a huge muscle head and still have it, consider surgery.
Michael Lee
You can never exercise enough calories don't do this. Honestly 1 solid pound a week is perfectly fine.
Nicholas Gonzalez
Hey same thing here
Somehow singing in my car is helping I don't know why
Even when it's shit like Komm Susser Todd
Henry Davis
Yes, you can. Doing 500 cal of exercise/day is no big deal once you've trained the endurance. Don't be a lazy faggot.
Alexander Cruz
last year i got a job at a water park selling lifesavers, inflatable toys, and shit like that, i had to walk like a clown with lifesavers all around my limbs for like 6 hours but i made a stupid amount of money, literally sold out everyday and had to restock for the next one, i think i made like $350 a day irrc
Connor Cruz
Not surprised if it's water weight or the amount of food circulating in you before you take a shit and empty yourself.
William Jackson
hit up family dollar
seriously i bought this stupid pot set for ten bucks and only one killed itself so far on me
walmart can have pans in the twenty dollar range that are decent
Carson Cruz
I know it isn't all water because my waist is down like 3 inches, I'm at a pretty severe deficit compared to what I was while I was still a fatty.
Parker Cook
I've been doing two servings of oatmeal + almond milk and one small spoonful of peanut butter mixed in. Probably not the best thing in the world but it's great after workout and keeps me full for hours.
Jace Turner
anyone else get extremely cranky and mean spirited at a calorie defecit? I've pushed away a ton of friends because cutting makes me hate everyone
Robert Hall
You could've been bloated m8
Tyler Thompson
That's part of your weak willed shitty personality.
Fix it.
Charles Cooper
I do too user. It sucks. I have to be alone or rarely see people now.
Austin Bailey
Yeah, Considering I've been at a 2000kcal a day deficit for 2 weeks, I'm willing to bet at nearly half of it is fat.
Matthew Jones
Are you cutting too low? If you can maximize the amount of calories you consume and maintain a slight deficit (while maintaining good nutrition) your mood will improve. In my experience at least.
Colton Rogers
it isn't really high standards if some reviews for the 20$ and cheaper pans are the bottom of the pan is deformed and can no longer be used for cooking after 1 month of use. Why post in fatty general? Because i'm trying to eat properly, that involves cooking pretty much everything myself.
no walmart or family dollar in my country, however i will try to find something cheap in the super market i go to.
