How many flights of stairs can you climb before you get winded?
Two I'm ok, three I have to breath heavy to recover. I'm hoping to climb a mountain next year so I'd like some perspective.
Before I started losing weight, this 1156 step stairway totally wrecked me. I'm hoping to try it again soon.
Sebastian Sullivan
Really tired to the point of passing out tonight. I still hopped on my bike to work out because this is the time I usually work out.
Whatever it takes to make it
Carson Russell
Going on holiday from tomorrow
Will probably break diet a bit, but I am going to be walking many hours each day so hopefully that justifies it.
William Davis
That's the spirit. Just don't hit the "pain is good" mindset, if you have an injury stop and get it checked out.
If you are the same guy from last thread, you can be aware to some degree of how many calories you are eating and burning, even on vacation.
Bentley Sanchez
Nothing so fucking strange than family, friends and coworkers trying to sabotage you... I can only imagine it's not malicious but its so strange.
>I know you're being good but have some of this giant giant cake No thanks >go oooon No thanks >Have some! Repeat
I'm down 64lbs and it's beyond irritating not to mention i'm beginning to resent some of these people
Camden Lee
iktf. My mom is completely idiotic about diet and nutrition. Knows absolutely nothing and has an unwillingness to learn. Her knowledge is limited to whatever fad diet or meme advice she maybe one time kinda sorta heard.
My sister also bakes a shit ton of sweets and just leaves it around the house even though she's supposedly on a diet (her body says otherwise). Luckily I hate her too much to give her the satisfaction of eating her food, so it's not tempting. Thanks, spite.
Christopher Richardson
>started at 315 >goal is 175 >currently at 246 >tfw almost at the halfway mark
I'm gonna make it, anons.
Levi Moore
I never had this problem before I started losing weight, but I'm down 75 lbs now and feeling great about my progress..BUT... I don't feel like doing dating(OKC, POF, Tinder, etc) until I make it to my goal weight. Part of me now feels that I am worthless unless I make it. Is that weird?
Levi Peterson
2nd day back on the bandwagon of good eating, first day back in the gym. Cigarettes die tomorrow. It's easy if I just don't have one in the morning.
Went on a week long binge of shit food and alcohol. Scale didn't move at all. But I realized I didn't feel any better or happier, so what's the point of doing that shit? Literally just slows me down.
Onwards. Sort yourself out.
Owen Nguyen
Gj keep that shit up
Kevin Richardson
Starting my 20 day water fast today
Wish me luck
Will only be taking salt and bcaa pill once a day
Nicholas Thompson
RIP user.
No one actually do this please. Keep a realistic deficit and exercise if you aren't losing as fast as you want. It's a crazy idea, but it works.
Dominic Murphy
imo the people who do these "water fasts" are fatasses who won't a magic lose-weight-quick option because they have no willpower, which will cause them to break the fast after a day and just binge themselves.
No one who is healthy would ever advocate extended fasting.
Noah Morris
Do it nigga
Hiking is the best
Alexander Carter
I need to restart by body and stop my addiction to glucose
Evan Bailey
I MADE PEPPERED BEEF JERKY AND ROLO COCKTAILS IN MY MOUTH AND IM NOT SORRY
Brandon Richardson
>plateau at 183 >cant stop thinking about food
Gabriel Stewart
Maybe you've noticed other benefits on the way to making it /fatg/
I went over in my calories today. Though I did increase my bench and deadlift. I plan on making homemade pretzels tomorrow. I have no clue how many calories they have. Sorry in advance.
Andrew Morris
My shins hurt and I ate a whole carton of laughing cow

William Richardson
181cm. I jumped from ~80kg (already fat) to ~90kg after taking meds that makes me gain weight. Stopped taking them but never lost weight again. Started practicing sports 5 months ago 4 times a week. Didn't make a difference still at ~90kg. I don't drink or smoke, stopped drinking carbs 2 years ago. Hard to drop sugar but even cutting all sugar I don't seen to lose weight. Even so I think I'm eating way less than 2,7k cal a day thats my TDEE.
The only thing that worked for me was keto, and I gave up after less than 1 month. Started lifting 2 weeks ago. Keto is incovenient but I don't know what else to do.
Jace Carter
Stupid question for you. On the diet side of things, is the change in ingredients in ON protein powder that people are spazzing about on amazon actually an issue?
Is autism about sucralose and xanthan gum an issue?
Jaxson Mitchell
Honestly, I hate heights. But I feel like it's a goal worth setting since I'm getting fit anyway.
Jaxson Watson
If you are making them, you know what's going into them. You can find out the calories in that shit, man.
Landon Martin
second half is harder than the first. good job user, don't stop.
Nathaniel Rivera
okay well I'm pretty sure that you could accomplish that in 2 or 3 days at the absolute most. don't put yourself totally out of commission for 20 days, that's bad for you in ways other than cico
Austin Garcia
>sucralose Personally I don't like this one because it seems to mess with my blood sugar. Usually gives me low blood sugar. Lucky me though I got a big bag of the old stuff that should last me a good while.
If it bothers you then buy another brand or use ON naturals.
Yeah, after looking up all the ingredients and doing the math. Total pain.
James Russell
You can import the goddamn recipe into MFP. Do you want to make it or not?
I just did it for you. I'm so upset with your shit you've given me more motivation to not half ass it like you.
Kevin Anderson
lost an absurd amout of weight this week (2,5kg), didn't trust my scale, moved it to my kitchen with a more even floor, still says i lost 2,5kg. I don't believe it.
Gavin Wright
Do core exercises for flatter stomach, like vacuums, planks and such. When your gut hangs like that it means weak core muscles
Adrian Barnes
>I think I'm eating way less than 2.7kcal
I found your problem. People always underestimate their own caloric intake. Actually find out how much you are eating, and then cut it down to 2,000 kcal (if your TDEE is really 2700).
Gavin Clark
>You can import the goddamn recipe into MFP. What do you mean? Look up flour and make an entry?
Sebastian Lopez
could be the result of a water weight fluctuation. don't let it get to you head or distort your expectations. progress, as measured over 3 months or half a year, is much much more meaningful than progress as measured over a week.
that being said, don't become discouraged if next week you weigh in and you weigh the same amount. it doesn't necessarily mean that you're plateauing - your water weight loss might have just reversed. water weight fluctuations can mask fat loss just as easily as they exaggerate it.
if you get stuck at the same weight for a whole month, then you're plateauing and you have a problem. but don't let the exact week-to-week numbers get to your head too much.
Christian Gomez
No, you can literally copy and paste the text right from the website in a single block and it'll give you approximate matches. It's not as accurate as doing the work yourself, but at least it isn't completely giving up.
Colton Johnson
In conclusion, don't you quit on me you fat fuck
Cooper Robinson
>tfw need to lose another 40lbs by august 21st for when me and the lads go to greece
dont think im gonna make it
Hunter Hernandez
Height?
Cooper Anderson
What's your height and current weight?
Nicholas Morgan
>6'2" >220lb
Landon Ward
Yeah 40lbs in less than 2 months is not likely. But aim for 20 m8. I believe in you
Aiden Thomas
Help me out here /fat/, I need some strategizing for these next couple of months.
I'm heading back to school at the beginning of September and want to look slimmer than I am now. I'm currently weighing 204 lbs. and measure at 5'10", floating around ~26% body fat. My current method is cutting at about a 800 calorie deficit to slim up, and participating in martial arts a few times a week. I'm not sure what end weight I'm aiming for, but I do want to be within the range of 20% body fat.
Should I stay on track with cutting and exercise? or would I likely look better if I went for maintenance and exercise? Or would bulking & exercise for muscle gain be worth it at my condition?
Ian Roberts
I just did it manually because that import thing is crap. Lot of calories for some damn Pretzels.
Logan Rivera
why did you go over in calories today?
you could've said no to the donut even if it is offered to you.
Ayden Russell
i have lost over 30kg at this point, i'm not mad or discouraged if next week is same or even higher than it is now but i'm just not trusting that scale anymore.
Landon Hill
FUCKING SHIT
I saw the 1800 cal limit and I was hit with an intense wave of raw, unbridled envy. Budgeting calories for a 5'5" woman as opposed to a man is so incredibly frustrating.
>mfw I have to budget for 1200 cal each day >can't have any sweets or it wipes out almost an entire meal >sweet tooth stages a riot every evening and I wanna scream I'm so freaking addicted to sugar, it's insane!! I won't quit no matter what, but I'm going to be sour about it the entire way down to 125 lbs.
(Anyway, good on you for not going wildly overboard. You're gonna make it, dude!)
Charles Hall
Eternal skinnyfat here. Used to be overweight but got super depressed and stopped eating, went all the way down to 180 in 5 months. Back up to 195, healthy weight but the 15 pounds is all fat and I have no muscle.
Curious what everyone's perspective is on shit gyms. My anxiety will not allow me to go the uni gym, I usually go hungry instead of going into stores and that's the only reason I'm not fat anymore. I have one other gym I could go to, it hardly has people there and most of them are old. This is because it is a gym for the hospital, so there are almost no weights. It pretty much has two benches and a smith machine.
My OCD forces me into a "all or nothing" mindset very easily, if I can't do compound weights correctly I don't want to do it at all.
Any advice m8's? I have no concern with changing habits and doing shit, I'm not lazy and have changed my diet many times. My troubles are focused more on autism.
Alexander Stewart
this argument just doesn't make sense, you eat less yes but your body also needs less. You shouldn't be hungrier than an average man trying to lose weight.
Aaron Gray
Pretzels are just bread, of course they have a lot of calories.
People think pretzels are healthy because they aren't fried, but they are still calorie dense.
I'm glad you learned about what you were putting into your body.
Gavin Thomas
I wasn't making an argument. Just envious feels about being able to eat more, even though it only means he needs more.
Levi Butler
I kind of see where she's coming from... eating more is more satisfying / fun. it just feels better to eat more substantial portions, I think, even though your needs scale according to your size
Isaac Collins
>I saw the 1800 cal limit and I was hit with an intense wave of raw, unbridled envy. Don't be that jealous. I started at 256lbs and I'm down to 237 in less than two months. A severe deficit for my height and weight. Also that one log has more snacks than I would normally eat, meaning usually it is no snacks.
Hunter Ramirez
>I can't have sweets or it wipes out almost an entire meal
Eat smarter, not harder. This is my treat every day, one square of a Cadbury chocolate bar.
Logan King
So close I can taste it All I want is a good body now. It's my only constant in life is my weight loss, It's all my life is. So close
Daniel Mitchell
>tfw skinny 6'3" lanklet and have a TDEE of ~3000 calories
Jack Roberts
>tfw skinnyfat 6'6" lanklet with a TDEE of ~3400 calories
Cameron Russell
Maybe don't make pretzels? You ate enough for 4 days.
Alexander Evans
You are fat enough to gain on a cut piggie so keep cutting.
David Bennett
Cutout the butter, dressings, and deserts and you have yourself an easy way to lose weight user. >inb4 I need dressing You learn to like vegetables.
Zachary Foster
keep at it buddy, im the same, used to eat 2 pints of ben n jerrys at one go then i quit cold turkey, now the cravings for sugar are a lot less. also lost about 22lbs lifting and keeping track of calories, so theres that.
Bentley Hughes

Jaxson Cooper
>want to look slimer >decide to eat less >"help /fat/" ???? Do you want /fat/ to give you magic berries that convert fat into muscle tissue?
Oliver Bailey
Just got my first pair of athletic shoes. I always assumed it was a scam, but man are they comfortable.
Nathan Roberts
Hey fat fucks. Veeky Forumsizen here that never went over 15% bodyweight ever. You jealous? You mirin'?
I hope all of you make it. Good luck!
Aiden Collins
its hard to be jealous when you are what is normal, but thanks for the best wishes m8
John Martinez
>join /fat/ and get super excited >make a bunch of bernds and spend a few hours a day on Veeky Forums >go from 103kg to 87kg >actually look good with some muscle definition from running and bw exercises >stop coming to /fat/ >balloon up to 93kg >come back to /fat/ >go down to 89kg >look like absolute shit because I simply lost all the muscle and look fatter than ever every time I lose weight I lose it from everywhere except my man tits. Every time I gain weight it goes straight to my man tits. What the fuck is going on, they're just comically large now. Should I just become a trap?
Thomas Harris
The real hard part is maintaining the weight you lost. I lost multiple times weight just to gain them again and some...
Julian Ortiz
New Balance are an underrated brand. Every pair I've ever bought from them is comfy as fuck
Grayson Reed
Yesterday I binged and ate at maintenance :(
Ethan Jackson
Is it possible to lose 2kg in 4 weeks?
Isaac Sanders
Yeah. I've lost 6 in a month which is roughly 4 weeks
Ethan Williams
Yeah, that's like a pound a week. I think you can lose up to about 2.5lbs a week without problems, can't remember where i got that from though
Kevin Murphy
yeah 500 calorie deficit will do it
Alexander Kelly
4 weeks = 28 days, 500 calorie deficit per day --> 28*500=14000, a kilo of fat its around 7000 calories so that your two kilos right there
Isaac Ramirez
You can lose 2kg in 2 weeks safely, my guy.
Bentley Powell
Lost 5 pounds in two weeks on a 700 cal a day diet :( Hard work for meager results.
William Rivera
I've started a routine of deadlifts, bench presses, and squats every day. 50 bench presses and 50 deadlifts with 25 squats (genetic issue causes horrible knee pain, thanks mom).
Should I be doing more or less? And how long should I be lifting the same weight?
Landon Turner
That sounds like dangerously high results to me
Sebastian Fisher
1. That's probably bad for you, just eat like 1200-1500 and exercise a lot more. 2. That's pretty damn good, -10lb a month is great.
Wasting a lot of time if you aren't adding weight almost every session as a noob.
Not sure what to do about your knee pain though.
Jackson Morgan
Thanks. And yeah, it kinda blows. My mom's side has had bad knees for generations.
Austin Cooper
>implying the 15% isn't when I'm bulking I still legit hope all of you are gonna make it.
Jayden Jenkins
I overate today. 2800 calories. Was originally at 2300. Hopefully tomorrow goes a bit better for me.
Michael Gonzalez
Im on a 2800 ish daily deficit, eating around 1400 per day with 2 hours of exercise everyday im down from 322 lbs to 307 in just a few weeks and it feels amazing
Luke Sullivan
How do you make oatmeal not taste like shit?
David Baker
Put some peanut butter in it. Just a wee bit of course.
Cameron Gray
I'm in the same boat user. I'm borderline cocoon mode. I go to work for my weekly shift. I have one friend I visit twice per week (I don't have a yard, so we're doing a gardening co op at his place, and we go fishing/hiking one a week), and I go grocery shopping twice per month. Other than those activities, I spend all of my time on physical and mental fitness. I kinda wanna shock everybody when I make it. I just fell off the face of the earth when I decided to get my life on track. I'm down 70lbs now, and when people see me at the store, they notice. Feels good, but I still feel like a disgusting fatty. I get embarrassed when people tell me I'm looking good. It really rustles my jimmies when they tell me I'm looking slim. No, maybe less bloated, but not slim. I'm 5'11 and 280lbs, down from 350. Feels good, but bad at the same time. At least I'm down from morbidly obese to regular obese. I find it more motivating to ignore my progress, and instead focus on how much farther I have to go. I use my depression and self loathing as fuel to improve my life. Got off track here, sorry.
