I've been struggling to decide whether to eat an extra 6in subway sandwich which is about 500 kcal. if i do eat it, it'll put me at tdee.
plus im gonna go on vacation for five days and i dont know if i should stick to the cut.

I'm eating below my limit but I feel no progress

Remember guys, sometimes when you think you are hungry, your body is actually thirsty.
Drowning your hunger works.
Also something that helped be stop my cravings was understanding how they work. At the end of the day, it's just the glucose in your brain telling you to eat shit. It's just a mind game with yourself that you can win

Hey, so if I exercise 3-4 times a week with a 20-25min cycling session of an average 18mph combined with various other exercises for the upper body and eat around 1500 calories per day - am I making any progress or am I just being retarded?
18, 6'1 and around 220lbs. First time getting into the whole weight loss thing, so I apologize if something I said is stupid but it's been long enough being fat and I'm done with it, any additional info would be appreciated.

Did almost exactly that (cant squat) atm and lost 8kg so far, now Im 89kg/188cm at 1300 kcal.
Lucas Butler
How long have you been going at it?
Kayden Hill
5 1/2 weeks now. Add 1 week of if at higher calories to get used to it. Want to go down to 80-85, you?
Dominic Sanders
Honestly I don't like putting end goals for myself so early, for now I just want to go under the 95-100 range. After I do that then I set my next target until I like how my body looks and feels.
Adding to that, just getting rid of the manboobs is a milestone of its own as well.

you all type very smugly, and I'm not sure how a morbidly obese person has the gall when you're all so low on the social hierarchy
you have done irreparable damage to your bodies. nobody will ever truly love you because your body is so revolting. nobody will ever respect you because you are ugly. you lack the willpower/discipline to lose weight because getting that fat in the first place is a mental illness - and even if you did, the result of all that weight loss will be a saggy mess of loose skin even more unsightly than what you look like now. either route you go you will never be happy kek
I will cry you a river with tears of sympathy if you'd like, because your life is and always will be a shadow of what it could've been. are you a virgin? have you ever kissed a woman? as a normal person, I speak on behalf of everyone when I say when a fat person is spotted, we mentally judge and laugh, but mostly silently thank god we aren't you.
I mean, RIGHT now, you're a fat sack of shit sitting down, mantits sagging over your belly with stretch marks covering the contours of your greasy cellulite ridden body posting on Veeky Forums while I have sex with my red lipped blonde girlfriend daily. do you really think anybody is going to get offended by anything you say here? you literally have no dirt on me. you can't offend me or anyone else on this website when you're in your position. which I will reiterate: a position which you CANNOT get out of. your only saving grace and chance of happiness is literally suicide and hoping there's an afterlife or you can reroll as someone else.
>a woman will never love you have you got a fat wojak reaction pic for that?
Blake Mitchell
I still have them, but only a bit left, you are gonna make it.
Kayden Diaz
Thanks mate. One more question, do you eat anything specific in your diet or do you just eat whatever to reach the goal?
Alexander Jenkins
>a woman will never love you >implying women aren't creatures created by the jews to subjugate men into the new world order
Isaiah Ortiz
Plateaus are rough. Sometimes I have periods where I'm just fuckin RAVENOUS so I give myself a week at maintenance and that usually takes care of it--however, don't use the extra calories to eat like shit, make sure it's a clean surplus with lots of protein.
Also think about what is saying and if it applies to you.
Isaiah Martinez
any cheap laxative food ?

Jaxson Hall
I have a meal plan that i follow everyday. Done 2 clean refeeds so far and one cheat day and will be doing another one this weekend as i work part time in a physical demanding job. I think if helped me to stay on track, also allows for fasted cardio in the afternoon. I weigh myself everyday to get my weekly average and go from that.

>being this edgy and dramatic
Ehh people here are trying their best to better themselves and get healthier. From what I gather a lot of other people here (including me) are not even obese, just overweight - I'm right in the middle of a healthy bmi myself but just use these for encouragement & motivation to cut down to where I'm really lean and muscles are visible before clean bulking.
Besides seeing really overweight people succeed and make it makes me extremely happy and is wholesome. This general is the most pleasant and positive niche in this board in my opinion.
You probably shouldn't take posters like LargeMan as a representative of the general. He can make it too though, I don't think he's an evil unsavable lard like you probably do, because I'm not an empathy-devoid asshole
Kevin Ortiz
why does the media push this meme that you can only lose 1-2lbs per week? I've lost triple that and felt great
David Jones
I know someone's going to slate me for >reddit but does anyone remember their fat people hate subreddit?

Thomas Lee
He's obviously trolling my man, imagine how "good" his life is that he has to go in threads to talk shit to people who are hustling to change their lives for the better. He's nothing more than a degenarate, let him be
Jaxson Reed
It's different depending on your weight. Higher weight, higher weight loss potential. This isn't rocket science.
1-2 lbs per week is sustainable, healthy loss for normal people. It also minimizes some issues.
Hudson Moore
Because not everyone is a 300 lb hamplanet like you. Some people just want to get ripped
Robert Wilson
anyone tried fasting here ? eating nothing for some days, only water .
Luis Gomez
SW: 425 CW: 326 Height: 6'4
Scale hasn't moved much in the past week, and I'm eating 1600 cals a day so I feel like my deficit is too large to really plateau at this weight, should I just keep the same deficit or eat more for a few days, I read to do the latter to jumpstart my metabolism but not sure if that's meme science or actually true
Benjamin Miller
Enjoy becoming skinnyfat then obese when you start eating again.
Isaiah Watson
It's a pasta my G. He just hit crtl v pay him no mind.
Carter Cooper
I'm using it too lose weight. I'm starting to workout during the fasted state too which helps
Aiden Foster
How do retards seriously believe in "plateaus" and shit. The only true plateau is due to water retention increase due to your body adapting. When you eat a normal days worth of calories or just continue to diet, you'll piss like a race horse one morning and "lose" 6 lbs.
You aren't special, your body is fueled by something and if you are really keeping your diet (I bet you aren't) your body will start to take from fat stores to make up for the lack of energy intake.
Your body isn't that much different from a car. Your car doesn't hit a fuel plateau, the dial is always dropping if you don't refill.
Nathaniel Myers
'Sup, papa. First time I haven't sinned - I started a IF diet 18:6 and I feel great. I even sinned a little and ate a french sweet bun with cottage cheese, and I'm still far below my TDEE. This is amazing, my fast starts in 10 min.
Oliver Gomez
Ate a Crispy Chicken -meal. But with Coke Zero so it's ok :)))))
Gavin Green
I can usually handle minor hunger pangs, I just drown it out with water until my next meal. But sometimes I get so hungry I start to get lightheaded and I tremble slightly. I *have* to eat something because I can't handle it for too long and drowning it doesn't work. How can I prevent this from happening?
Hudson Barnes
That's low blood sugar for you
you probably were nto used to having a low blood sugar.
Ease into it
Ryder Taylor
Except the human body isn't a car, a car doesn't produce it's weight in fuel every single day and change it's internal workings based on its environment
If you eat less calories than you spend then you will undoubtedly lose weight, but lets not pretend that it will be 100% consistent and reflected on the scale
Dominic Stewart
Well, apparently I do have something on you - I'm not and edgy asshole.
Also, high five, I'm 182 cm and 150 kg, but I'm with a hot nerdy blonde - she likes "bear" guys, and says that if I wanna diet, she only wants to help me for health reasons, she's satisfied with everything else. I'm glad I have someone to work out for. I'm sitting here, happy, while you're embarrassingly sitting alone, reading replied to your bait, thinking you accomplished something. Here's a (You), kid.
Joseph Peterson
Well shit, I never thought about that. How do I ease into it? Whenever it happens do I just eat something small to keep it away? How the fuck do I even prevent it anyway?
Elijah Perez
I ended up buying a Wal-mart 8 piece fried chicken yesterday since I was hungover and was just really fucking hungry and craving some.
Was dry as hell, but I still ate all of it.
Jaxon Reyes
Don't waste your life being fat guys. Always been good with women but 50lb down and they are fucking fighting over me. 20lbs til I truly make it. Keep at it everyone.
Dominic Adams
YMMV but
Start cutting down sugars and processed carbs
I started IF but with 3 meals, now I'm down to 2 meals. The transition from 3 to 2 is when I started eliminating sugars and processed stuff.
Cooper Flores
Okay cool. Sugars I'm already cutting out but processed carbs are gonna be hard. Or easy, I gotta look up the difference between processed and non-processed carbs. Thanks user.
Anthony Kelly
>tfw the fupa hasn't shrunk after losing 100 pounds
Brandon Foster
I don't mean to be an asshole, but you might want to start setting aside cash for skin surgery when you're at your goal.
For now just drink a lot of water and rub coconut oil all over that shit.
>next meal
Try eating smaller, more frequent meals instead of 3 bigger ones. If portability is a problem, try baggies of nuts or protein bars.
Ryder Stewart
Processed carbs fill you up fast but keep yoo satiated for a less time
Unprocssed Carbs are the same.except they have more vitamins and nutrients and keep you full for longer periods.
Liam Lopez
My skin's fine I think, it's just one fist sized lump of fat that won't fucking budge.

It's a pasta. I saw it in another thread.

You won't be doing work or anything strenuous But you consider eating more
Camden Ortiz
this is fresh (but terrible) pasta. It was a dude replying to a 500+ lb dude talking shit in a thread earlier.
Ethan Sanders
It got a load of (you)s, so it worked
Bentley Bailey
1500 is too little, hit atleast 2000
Jace Brooks
I always weigh on tuesday mornings after my shower. Yesterday I was at 71.8kg. Down from 90kg last august, so I was practically crying with happiness.
Weighed myself this morning for no reason (maybe just to see that number again) and I was 74.6kg
what the fuck? is it almost 3kg of water and food?
Leo Martinez
water weight is a bitch
Ayden Hall
If you weigh yourself every day you'll be able to better discern trends
Did you eat more the day prior to your weight-in?
John Perry
As I said, I'm new so why would eating more benefit me losing weight?
Evan Adams
Yep. I weigh almost daily. Check out the last few days:
Did you eat stuff high in sodium? Water weight can really surprise you after a night's worth of salty food. As long as you're honest with your food logs, 3kg's worth of calories will never magically put themselves into you.
Juan Rodriguez
Been having success with 16:8 over the last two months. I feel like I have a lot more control over my hunger, so a lot of days I end up doing more like 20:4 because I don't feel like eating anything until 2 or 3pm. Then I have a light dinner because I had a late lunch.
John Carter
Mein Neger, whats your goal/starting point?
Try this for a start 1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ Then do the weigh yourself everyday thing and make a little excel sheet for it and adjust from there.
Kevin Butler
Don't listen to He's a retard. If you don't feel like you're starving on 1500 cals, eat 1500 cals.
your sedentary tdee is 2486 cals, so eating 1500 puts you at like a 1k deficit. That's a little high but not too bad. If you don't feel like shit, keep it up. You'll drop the weight in no time.
Also, stop with the bitch workouts and start lifting.
Isaac Cook
I'm just like you and wonder if I can do monk mode (only 1 meal before Noon). Hunger isn't as bad anymore after IF, I felt it really fixed my insulin mechanisms.
What do you eat?
Kevin Brooks
>tfw lifting and cutting >magically dont lose strength cause based genetics and eat mostly protein and little carbs >when myfitnesspal says "stop goy your not eating enough" and im like "FUCCCK YOU" >tfw undercounting exercise calories and overcounting food calories
it works
Joseph Cruz
No, my diet is very stable. Also I weigh myself before I eat specifically to avoid the food/water fluctuations.
Can sleeping patterns make your weight fluctuate? Really, the only thing I did differently between 71kg on Tuesday and 74kg today was staying up all night.
I did, actually. After I weighed myself the first time.
Jaxon King
this. lifting once your conditioned into it. gives you endorphins like cardio can never do
Connor Williams
>counting exercise
its like you dont even want to reach ghoul mode
Connor Hall
I started at 328 on Feb 11th.
I have no endgame. As of right now, cutting to 180, then gonna see how my body looks and decide whether to keep cutting or start a bulk while still doing IF ala leangains. My only goal is death, because that's when I'll stop, but I've changed how I'm going to live until I get there. Hopefully those changes end up postponing that.
Levi Rivera
None this week father
Aiden Young
the exercises calories are irrelevant since i eat from 1000-1600 routinely
Luke Moore
>tfw undercounting exercise calories and overcounting food calories
I feel like I'm addicted to doing this. The high of "cheating the system" has yet to wear off.
Luis Howard
After a year of using MFP I've slowly stopped using it because I know the caloric content of most things I eat by now. Also I make all my own food (eating out is expensive and I have a lot of free time atm) so it's easy to keep track.
Are you supposed to phase out counting calories, or do you have to stay vigilant with your counting in order to make it? I'm still steadily losing weight without counting but I'm also afraid I might be playing myself here.
Elijah Bell
Right? It's like getting A on an assignment. You don't need it to pass, but it feels better.
James Martin
I've hit lone-autist mode. I regularly eat straight from the pot and sometimes even with the cooking utensils.
Ian Taylor
But cardio has other benefits, one of the boggest mistakes for me was the no cardio meme.
Nice, almost same weight goal and life goals haha, keep it up.
Aiden Murphy
I have "made it" and just enjoy counting calories because I like being able to look at the data, as well as being able to plan around times when I indulge. Seeing two 3000+ calorie pillars from a weekend out in the graph is a reminder to casually cut for the next week or two.
Brayden Sanders
kek, I'm proud of the fact that I use only 4 utensils per day
Xavier Taylor
When I said I workout I meant I go to the gym. Lifting is the main thing I do and at the end of my workout I just go on the bicycle.
My upper-body workout consists of some Dumbbells, EZ Curl Bar, Lat Pull Down, Bench Pressing and 1 or 2 more for triceps. Had to basically google their names in English, my bad if something sounds awkward.
Thanks for the cals info by the way.
Jose Nguyen
yeah, that why i do cardio in cooldown when all my muscles but my legs are fatigued
sprinting on painkillers is great
Robert Adams
I have a strong jaw that even shows through my fat, fight me faggot
