Is it time to fall for the waterfast meme, can I make it?

You've got this man

You must look much better than you did before; just continue whatever you were doing. If you fast, you may end up gaining (through overeating when the fast is done).

My progress so far is 147kg-121.5kg.
Im 188cm and i started cutting on march 11th.
So far no loose skin. Entire time i was using this lotion and it worked pretty well i think. Or maybe i have good genetics and im still pretty young (19) so that helped with skin elasticity. I hope i wont have any notable loose skin when i reach my target weight.

>actually thinking about eating nothing for a week so you can impress some girl you imposed your pathetic beta insecurities on to the point where you unironically her a "oneitis"

stop dude
I'm telling you right now that girls sense insecurities from a mile away and if you put this cunt up on a pedastel you're going to have your heartbroken guaranteed

dont think so much about your interaction with her cause I bet your ass she isn't thinking about you right now
literally just >burself and keep doing what you were doing to lose that 60lbs
don't change the shit that works just to impress some girl

Just remember, no matter how much weight you lose, your mind is still the same.
In other words she still wont want you but she'll at least let you talk to her before deciding.

>tfw got myself banned on wow to stop playing this shit game
had fun too getting banned atleast

I took one day off from the gym to go to a birthday party, didn't even eat a fuck ton and gained 5 pounds, I want to cry

What do you guys do when your motivation fails you? There's nothing I want more than to lose weight, but literally one day into a new lifestyle change I start to crave my old ways to the point where it feels like I'm a fucking drug addict trying to go cold turkey. I almost always end up giving in ;_;

tl;dr: What can I do when I start craving chocolate guys?

water and glycogen
use ur brain

承认 (CONFESS)

restrictive eating disorder relapse

90 here I come

I ate 300 calories over TDEE yesterday.

thin fuck

fat fuck

been binging the last 2 weeks to even 7k calories some days

Lost 14 pounds over a month and a bit, really enjoing it. How do you stop your nuts from loosing circulation on the bikes?

Weighed myself this morning and I lost 6 pounds this week but I had 3 slices of thin crust supreme pizza from papa johns last night

Still didnt go over TDEE

How bad is to drink coke zero?

Thanks this is what I needed to hear. At least we're doing something I will enjoy regardless of the outcome of the social interaction.

better than normal if you have to but dont get addicted cause it wont have an effect as food suprresant anymore
.t used to drink 2 bottles of 2l a day

neutral. just dont drink gallons of the shit because its not real

anyway, im back at square one. throughout the semester, i ate my feelings and i lost that weight so im at my original weight of 180 pounds. fun.

I trying to kill sugar addiction by switching to zero instead of regular coke.

Ate 1600 calories yesterday; 100 below my goal maximum intake, and 150 above my average intake. Lost .8 pounds and I'm on track for 2.5 pounds by Friday weigh-in. Annie I'm coming for you.

¿height?

a;lmost 5'5
girl

Your better off drinking something else then. Zero will remind you of the taste of the sugar stuff. Try drinking strong squash (cordial) or something as the sweetness for me reminds me of sugar but dosen't actually contain any.

>literally waiting at a domino's cuz my brother and mom wanted pizza
didn't get anything for myself, but please sensei give me the strength to resist. have my weigh in tomorrow and I want to see a 85 on the scale

>Zero will remind you of the taste of the sugar stuff.
Yet strangely i dont crave for sweet things even after drinking it.

still though I hate water weight one day I weigh a good amount next day I'm 10lbs heavier it's dumb

Cutting fat isnt everything, you are supposed to gain muscle too, otherwise you end up a skinnyfat and unhappy anyway.

funnily enough I could guess that from your usage of "fun."

It's okay lass, what happened? I'd recommend that instead of food, indulge in some other, relatively healthy behavior. Channel it somewhere like writing or exercising. I used to run in an arboretum when i broke up last year (ofc I did it so much I got a stress fracture but that's another story).

school just stressed me out. im very socially anxious, my depression was really bad, but now im working on it. i just have so much weight to lose so i think about it at 20 pound intervals so i dont stress myself out

Is it worth spending a bunch of money on a burr grinder to grind your own coffee or is it just a meme

Nice mate. Did you do something special to break the plateau or did just waiting it out work?

Waiting it out. Cutting calories even more aggressively. Working out harder. For me, it was incredibly motivating. It tested my will - I proved to myself that numbers on the scale can't deter me. It made me more determined than ever. White knuckle it, and gut it out.

Right, the numbers on the scale are only numbers. If you keep at a deficit there is no way to not be losing, no matter what the scale says.

Why is the rest of Veeky Forums so against fasting and keto?

23/1 with a big keto meal is the only thing that has allowed me to ocntrol my cravings and lose weight


Simple calorie reduction aways makes me want more food and I gain weight back

Redpill me on these lotions. Are they real or is this user just lucky/taking it slow enough?

I'd suggest going to a doctor for your anxiety and depression. Life with depression and anxiety is awful and super debilitating and it infects every other aspects of your life, so it makes sense to treat the biggest problem. Do it, and you'll be genuinely glad you did. I went to a specialist to years ago for my anxiety and my life has improved by multiple folds. In hindsight, it was one of the most important decisions I ever made.

The craving lessens as time progresses. This is true for any addiction. Going from 2452 days sober to 2453 days is easier than going from day 1 to day 2. Going a day without smoking is easier when you haven't touched a cig for years than when you just quit today.

The first part is always hard and I don't know what to tell you except don't give in. Outlast it.

It sucks you can measure your blood pressure in every drugstore here where I live but none of them have sclaes to weight your ass.

Most of Veeky Forums is laso into exercising with an emphasis on wieghtlifting and strength/size progression. Can't fast and still have that.

Get a buddy you can call, chat with, whatever that can talk you out of the daily temptation.
Start some public accountability social post (progression pics on facebook, tumblr, reddit, here) and look at that every day.
Drink water every time you feel a craving, for anything. 4 liters a day will more or less keep your stomach perma full.

I'll try to remember that when the cravings hit, thanks user.

I don't have any friends I can call, otherwise those are good tips. Thanks.

>tfw shitty week makes my month feel shitty

If you can't cold turkey, then start slow
for the first 2 weeks or until you feel confident enough to move on, don't eat processed food, that's it, don't count calories or anything just eat anything that isn't processed as much as you want from it. See how it goes

I abandoned /fat/ and threw out my whole diet over the last week. My father had a heart attack, my brother physically assaulted my mother and then attempted suicide. I fell back to stress eating/drinking to cope. I'm nowhere near being ready to restart again but I just needed to tell someone I'm flailing and falling back to fatassdom at this rate. I'll stop the drinking this week (I finished my last bottle last night) but diet is still ducked for now

/blog

went a little bit over yesterday but had a 4.25 mile walk.

weighed in this morning and finally broke below 310.

>feelsjohngoodman.jpg

I drink 1-2 cans of Cherry Coke Zero per day. I don't think it's slowing me down, but something could be.

I've been wondering where you were rainman but holy shit I didn't know things were that rough
genuinely sorry about all that, bro. How is your dad now? How about you brother and mom?

Im around 230 right now, and I know its far down the line but when should I stop eating at a big deficit? Im lifting weights 5 times a week and doing cardio as well and I just want to know so I dont end up a gross skinny fat. I guessed around 170-180 (my goal weight) but I just wanna be sure so I dont throw away any gains by eating less.

fat fuck

i have, thats how ive dedicated myself to losing weight and lost the depressed eating weight

Sorry to worry you man, yea it was a hell of a week; I finished work at midnight Saturday and came home to...everything. From there it just went downhill all week. Dad is back home after heart surgery; he's a diabetic and the heart attack came on from a diabetic fit/coma (fuck Indians man). Mom has bruises and swelling but it's going down. Brother is a cunt and as far as I'm concerned I'm pissed he failed.
You're right and thank you

What method do you use?
French press is really the only common method that takes a specific grind but even then you just learn with trial and error.
Personally I just use a shitty walmart one and it just werks, 2 seconds and I'm done and am able to use it with a french press.

>tfw paranoid to go to therapy for years (and poor), especially with the current administration in America
>tfw don't want to be on a list

He got lucky. If you're young and drink enough water, your skin will most likely recover.

I just buy grounds and use a pour over. Am I missing out by not grinding beans?

Stop playing? Are you that pathetic and weak willed holy shit kiddo. Way to waste god knows how much progress because you can't control your stupid monkey brain now.

goddamn lad, really sorry all that shit happened. Really hope your parents feel better really soon. I'm Indian too and my parents have both diabetes and hypertension so I kinda understand your situation. Just take a deep breath and time just to yourself whenever you can. Tough situations will always arise, but you're a strong lad, and you will come out stronger; I know it.

it's 19:30 and I've only had a piece of toast all day because I fell asleep then went straight to work.

is the universe telling me I can have burger and chips tonight?

dw lad, if you find yourself on that list, I'll already be right there with you

The first two weeks of freshly bought beans are heavenly.
After that it's still better but maybe not worth it.
Definitely recommend at least once, if you really like it either buy it in small quantities (more expensive) or buy it green (more time intensive, have to roast them yourself).

The ritual can definitely erase the routine of breakfast though.

Yes. It's very different. You should also go for the fresh roasted stuff. Beans are best within a couple weeks of being roasted

These negative thoughts caused you to not get quads. Don't do it bro!!!

Fruit, veg, and water is the cure to fat, sugar, and salt; cravings will subside over time as long as you don't jump off the wagon and get good food in every meal. It gets easier. I took a Vegas vacation during my longest period of sustained healthy eating and by the time I got home I was craving salmon and lentils because Taco Bell and In & Out were making me sick.

Five Guys for breakfast again. All the salt in the peanuts is going to hurt my weekly abdominal circumference measure.

Artificial sweeteners still fuck with your metabolism and blood sugar. They will hold you back if you drink too much.

Have a double helping of salmon for dinner.

perhaps its just you then. I did that originally with Fanta Zero and didn't work.

why not?

>eat out of boredoom
>dont go do something productive thats not releated to sitting at home because im ashamed of my body not to mention my only knowledge in terms of WoW will get my anywhere
>repeat

decided against the burger and chips
there'll be plenty of time for burgers later

(-_-)7

Well this was a fun vacation.

15 lbs until I make it. 6 days of PSMF left and I see roughly a pound fall off a day on it, so 9 lbs left when I enter my refeed window, eating at 1700 kcal for 3 days. The reintroduction of carbs may fuck me and make me retain water, so I expect to be stuck until I lose the water again. Gain maybe... 3 lbs of water due to the reintro?

Jump back onto keto for the last 12~ lbs? Or maybe just PSMF until I hit my goal... but could I do it for another 9 days? Its been a slog so far.

what the hell did you get up to?

im scared
i have huge boobs but i need to ose a significant amount of weight

help
they will look like shit and i dont have money for surgery

>last week was 200lbs
I'm going to be happy if tomorrow I'm in the 100s, haven't been that light since middle school.27 now

For 2 weeks I sustained myself on nothing but sweets, snacks, barbecue and beer.
The most unhealthy, processed, calorie dense food you can think of, I ate it, I ate it all.

>The urge to eat until my stomach hurts and I feel that soothing feeling I feel when I eat too much is back
GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK

Drink water, and lots of it. Fight it bro!

my diet (what I eat) has been perfect for years but I still overeat and eat emotionally

Good luck bro! I'm currently at 205, I'm still about 2 weeks out, but I should be in the 100's club soon. I haven't seen 100's since I was about 23 (27 now)

what are you going to do when you make it? I'm going to get one of those ugly Christmas sweaters,turtleneck and feel good in them.

Make it for me is probably 180-185. I'm going clothing shopping when I hit the 100's club, and shopping again when I make 190 (my first goal weight.) I haven't decided about my final reward. I'm not sure what 'final' is. It may be a combination of muscle mass and weight. Maybe I'll have my 190 shirts tailored to contour.

I feel like even if i'll reach 100 kg, i'll still be a fat looking.

Depending on your height and the amount of muscle you have, yeah, you might still look fat.

drank two beers and ate pizza yesterday

fat fuck

I'm disappointed, user. I'm not even going to call you a fat fuck.

so it's not that perfect, is it?

Fuck you.
Thank you.

>Depending on your height and the amount of muscle you have, yeah, you might still look fat
Oh, it's 194 cm aka 6'4. I dont know about joining gym because i dont know how long i'm going to be in one place and throwing 20 euros just for couple of sessions is kinda pointless.

would two of these a day have an impact on my weight loss?
I have a pretty bad caffeine addiction and feel like shit if don't have atleat one or the equivalent of coffee a day

More of an impact on your body and health than anything.
You don't want to get addicted to stims, having to take them more than 3 times a week is unhealthy.

Push ups and the like are free. It might not be the best way to built muscle but it works.

omg that pic ahahaha

What's the best way of recovering from an injury when on a diet?

>not tackling the addiction itself

this is why you won't make it

>Push ups and the like are free
You mean body weight exercises?
