>been fatty all my life but decide to get my shit straightened out
>25 years old at 225 lbs >quit smoking >got myfitnesspal and tracked calories and made sure to stay at 1500 >got a gym membership and do cardio and strength training for 6/7 days of the week
Weighed myself at the end of the week at 225 still. I wrote it off as, well, maybe fat turned to muscle or something.
>Another week passes, do the same routine >Eat nothing but eggs, turkey bacon, yogurt, string cheese, and rarely oatmeal, special K cereal, and wheat bread >But still stay at 1500 calories >Adopted 16:8, my 8 hour feasting window was 11am-7pm >Made sure to drink at least 12 cups of water every single day, counted every single cup >Weigh myself at the end
Still at 225.
What do I do or what can I change? For daily pills I take a multivitamin, fish oil, l-arginine, and red ginseng. I know I don't eat any vegetables or fruits but I wanted to keep counting easy and didn't know how to properly count calories when eating vegetables, and I think my multivitamin helps covers that?
pls halp, I was so happy and excited to be Veeky Forums and I used to go to the gym for those 2 weeks feeling all pumped and happy but now I can't help but feel depressed and hopeless
Wyatt Sullivan

stop cheating on your diet you fat fuck
Ayden Sanders
drink sips
Brody Morales
Keep at whatever your doing, if the results are the same after two months then youre doing something wrong.
Julian Lopez
Only explanation is muscle growth at a perfect ratio to fat loss that is keeping your weight the same. If you're eating less and working out more there's no way you're not burning off excess fat unless you have a legitimate genetic issue.
Adam Allen
>Eat nothing but eggs, turkey bacon, yogurt, string cheese, and rarely oatmeal, special K cereal, and wheat bread How much of these do you eat? What do you eat them with(cooking eggs with butter, eating with ketchup, milk in cereal, sugar and raisins in oatmeal, jelly and butter on bread, etc.)? Do you eat anything besides this?
Jordan Watson
if its point for point exactly and there's not even a slight variation maybe there's something wrong with your scales? sounds like a cop out but not going up or down by even 0.1 of a pound seems weird
Evan Ramirez
You gained in water weight what little fat you lost in that period.
Keep going.
Bentley Price
Eat more veggies
Don't eat string cheese.
Learn to count ur calories
Jace Lee

Samuel Turner
you need to cut out the > eggs, turkey bacon, string cheese , special K cereal and wheat bread
thats SHIT food to lose weight.
stop BREAD its basically sugar. stop Special K its basically sugar stop yogurt, its basically sugar, unless you get the disgusting sour tasting kind, then still its a lot of fat stop the bacon, seriously are you this retarded. stop the meat, you aren't trying to gain mass you want to lose it, have a miniscule tiny piece a day
get your diet on check, also calorie counting is retarded.
Zachary Hernandez
Have you tried Morning fasted cardio for an hour? everyday? HIIT training for 20 mins twice a day 5 times a week? >got myfitnesspal and tracked calories and made sure to stay at 1500 1500cal for men is too damn low. Your body might be holding onto everything it can. Just eat 2200cal and burn off your calories from Cardio....
Samuel Price
>stop the meat don't you want a decent amount of protein while losing weight to ensure you don't loose muscle mass as well though? or is that broscience
Adam Lee
If you are really that desperate you can literally just starve yourself as long as you don't care about losing muscle
Nathan Williams
It's water weight or OP can't count.
Hop in a sauna if you want to see the couple of pounds you lost OP, or learn to count if you always drank that much fucking water.
Nolan Moore
Snort some creatine after your workout
Andrew Butler
keep going for at least 2 more weeks and see what happens. make sure you're tracking your stats as accurately as possible.
Carter Thomas
I cook eggs and the turkey bacon with butter; no ketchup, I use 2% milk and definitely account for that, and just butter on the bread. At the moment I'm eating nothing else.
I definitely do need to eat more veggies and I guess I could cut back on the string cheese; its just so convenient to have around as a snack...
I could try to cut back on the turkey bacon, but... It's 30 calories per strip, it's so so good.
Hmm.... I could try bumping it up to 2000/2200 if results are the same after this third week
yeah but between all the dairy products I'm eating, it's possible that I'm just consuming wayyy too much protein... if that is even a thing. but I AM going to the gym and doing strength and cardio so I dunno...
Xavier Nguyen
>it's possible that I'm just consuming wayyy too much protein that wasn't what i was talking about, was just surprised at the user saying to cut out meat totally, pretty sure you won't put muscle weight on without a calorie surplus no matter how much protein you get
Wyatt Rogers
eat some salads , you need fiber do you ever poop?
Owen Rivera
you're underestimating the amount of butter you're putting on your bread and in your eggs and turkey bacon. for the love of god, just get a nonstick pan you mongrel.
why don't you eat an apple as a snack?
you don't "hold on" to everything you can, particularly when you're eating 1500 calories of what amounts to junk food.
Ryder Edwards
2 weeks is not that long
Lots of people forget to account for stuff, like if you're cooking with butter you need to add that in to your calculations for calories
When you start drinking lots of water and start working out for the first time in a long time your body retains extra water for a few weeks, then settles down to normal
At the rate you're going you should've only lost about 2 pounds anyway after two weeks, don't expect what took you years to put on will take months to fall off
Always remember, nobody is immune to the laws of physics, if you're not losing weight it's not because your body is magic, it's because you're not doing something correctly.
Noah Baker
>stop yogurt, its basically sugar, unless you get the disgusting sour tasting kind, then still its a lot of fat it also gives you an insulin spike that increases sugar absorption into cells.
Julian Hall
Probably once a day?
Never really thought about it, but I guess you're right! I'll go order a nonstick pan right now off amazon
thanks for the encouragement, i'll try to keep it up!
Charles Hughes

Joseph Collins
>2 weeks weight fluctuations can be very random. gains in muscle mass, water retention, constipation.. there's a lot of shit that goes on in your body that you cant directly monitor.
keep up what you are doing for a month, maybe two. track your weight every day at the same time and write it down. after 2 months you will definitely see a consistent downwards trend. if you don't, then think about seeing a doctor.
Anthony Myers
Eat a vegetable. Holy shit. Have you even had a bowel movement this whole time?
