Jaxson Roberts

Ian Torres
Sleep is when gainz happen
You can't get gainz when you don't get sufficient sleep.
Make sure you sleep within optimal circadian times from 9-10PM. Sleeping past 1 or 2 really fucks up the recovery stage. You may as well not have worked out because the body cannot repair the muscles. Also, slows your metabolism the next day and makes you hungrier.
Sleep is essential.
Jason Cox
Job well done lad. How're you feeling about the body? Feeling confident in your skin now? Got a flat tummy?
James Sanchez
i ate a few rows of smartie block while watching game of thrones ive eaten about 5-6 mandarins today as well
Brandon Turner
Broke my fast with this
No cheese though
thoughts?
Ryan Sullivan
Decaf coffee is for Cucks.
Why not drink tea?
Chase Sullivan

Jaxson White
sick to death of thinking about food it's obsession at this point
Michael Torres
How do I stop myself?
David Russell
Yeah and sufficiently satiated and not at all hungry
I also biked all the way to get it and back home.
Asher Ward
Literally eat less you fat fuck. It's THAT easy.
People like you make me mad.
Alexander Foster
Not him but just saying eat less is like saying be yourself.
He/she has to destroy and go against years of conditioning and bad habits.
James Phillips
Any of you niggers doing FASTING ever gonna post some results?
Mason Hall
it's that *simple
Cooper Gray
>sufficiently satiated and not at all hungry seems good. keep the good eating up. don't fuck up.
in case you do, CONFESS
Jackson Rodriguez
So? We've all been where he's at. We all had to stop the delicious carb filled junk food. Why could we do it but he can't?
Eli Campbell
When I succesfully hit my target weight (139 lbs), sure.
Jack Perry
at this point my pointless eating is just a reflex. sometimes i dont even realise im doing it. you do realise what thread youre in, right? did you come here expecting anything else?
Hunter Jenkins
Willpower.
instead of saying eat less, say get more willpower :)
Semantics but you get my drift
Ryder Phillips
You won't, cuz you'll still have your ugly skinnyfat gut and you'll be asking us how to get rid of it.
Alexander Taylor
tea also has caffeine in it, or is decaf tea also not good enough for you?
Jackson Lee
I didn't have a huge belly but when I fasted, I noticed it was quite small actually.
But yeah I don't care I will post my bod when I hit 139. When I hit 139, I'm going ham in the gym.
Wyatt Collins
and thats why no one's posted results.
Lucas Sanchez
>im going to take 8 shots of vodka tonight What's the occasion?
Nathan Evans
that's my goal weight too how tall are you?
if you're 6'1 then we have lots to talk about
Jose Peterson
And that's why fasting gets you shit results, which was my point.
Untill someone posts solid results (a decent looking body) from fasting I won't take that method seriously.
Colton Cooper
family is visiting. only going to have a protein shake for breakfast and lunch to make room for it I guess
Jason Roberts
exactly. fasting is fucking retarded. lifting at a caloric deficit of about 500, omad or if and doing cardio is the only way to not look like shit. people that fast are just lazy, it requires less willpower than lifting hard and working out.
Dominic Myers
5'6
IF is great, and generally not overeating is great.
I noticed before IF I was constantly digesting food, not giving the tummy a break. Now that Ive gone extended period without food on a regular basis, I noticed I have less puffy nips and less bloated tummy
Dominic Hill
>people that fast are just lazy, it requires less willpower than lifting hard and working out.
>not working out in a fasted state
People can do both you know
Landon Parker
Okay I admit that if you're fucking obese, fasting might work, but if you're just overweight and you're looking to get slim, fasting is retarded.
Colton Wright
I use fasting to regulate my eating times and my appetite.
I'm also less dependent on food cravings and I don't snack when my mind craves it.
Fasting overall is a healthy thing and has many benefits.
But fasting for aesthetics is different thing, for sure. It's should be combined with exercise.
Dominic Allen
Used to be fat here. From 250 down to 160 then packed on some muscle back up to 220 from lifting. Complete transformation over three years. No I'm not going to post pics because who the fuck does that. But ask me anything, diet, excersise, weight lifting, whatever. I'll try to answer as many as I can.
Hunter Smith
Mother has been baking every day since I told her I'm trying to lose weight, I cracked and ate ~6 Za'taar buns, 2 slices of lemon drizzle cake, a chocolate brownie and a bit of shortbread. It all happened so fast. I had a fast day to make up for it but I still feel like shit, how can one man be so weak willed?
Ian Cook
this is my second time losing weight
Alexander Rivera
why are you so discontent with your own accomplishment? you should be moving onto bigger and better things, not dwelling on where you were
Jeremiah Fisher
that's unsustainable in the long run and you gains and lifts will be shit. it makes no sense if you want to look good. like the other user said, unless you are morbidly obese it makes no sense. you gotta take your time losing weight and build muscle, if you fast too muc and end up looking like a skinnyfat faggot you might get discouraged and rebound. but if you look tones or even shredded the chances will be very slim that you won't like you body and feel like you've accomplished something.
Juan Gray
I've got about 20 pounds to lose
How do I make sure loose skin is not an issue? Do I combine my fasts with specific exercises?
Alexander Stewart
How long did it take you to lose the weight and did you follow a strict diet plan?
Christopher Reed
For cardio it's ideal for lifting it is not.
Thomas Wood
post your streaks fatties
havent missed a day since i started logging back in april
Dylan Richardson
much prefer using my own spreadsheet, but MFP is somewhat convenient
Ryan Rodriguez
No, actually working in fasted state, you get HGH to protect and encourage muscle gains.
I'm still gonna do my IF, and I'm still gonna do my HIIT skip ropes and BW exercises.
What do you suggest (which lifts) I do to not descend into further skinnyfat whilst losing weight?
Mason Garcia
1. 20 lbs, or even 100 will not give you lose skin. (For most people) 2. Fasted cardio is ideal, for weight lifting eat a meal with about 20g protein for 30 grams of carbs (clean/complex carbs) about an hour before you lift.
Alexander Murphy
166 lbs lost thats incredible, whats your starting weight and current weight?
Matthew Russell
extremely weak user here due to bone problems and incredibly under used muscles, i cannot do shit. i cannot pump iron, i cannot run marathons, not a great swimmer or biker what exercises/activities can i do to gradually build myself back up to gym level?
Logan Bailey
It took me about a year and a half. At first I was just reducing my calories to about 1500 a day, then I learned about Marcos, etc. and the weight really started dropping off.
Kevin Hill
Thanks.
I'm currently doing skip rope and BW in a HIIT fashion to increase fat burning.
Looking to graduate to weightlifting, what's a good program to encourage a toned, or ottermode look?
Anthony Gutierrez
308 starting 142 as of this morning
it's getting really tough, up until about a month ago I was on cruise control but now I'm counting the hours in the day
if anything the whole experience has taught me that my problems don't begin and end with overeating
Jack Lewis
Look up a push/pull routine and start with light weights. Also same with cardio, start small, then gradually increase when your body adjusts.
Julian Thomas
pretty much any beginner routine while not on a caloric surplus
Jeremiah Collins
can someone post some motivation that works for them? bout to hit the gym for the first time in a long time
Robert Rogers
Look up a basic push/pull routine. Make sure you up protein and lower carbs. Also, HIIT is the single best method of cardio for shedding fat, if you do it correctly. You should be pushing yourself as hard as you can (till you feel like puking) for around 20 seconds, then rest for 2 minutes. Intensity is key in HIIT.
Joshua King
Tell me about macros, I'm currently focusing mostly on proteins and fats and my carbs are very low, should I balance them out and add more carbs?
Jackson Carter
>zaatar hnnngg thinking about that gives me a boner. probably shouldnt mention this but have you ever had jebneh?
Jeremiah Martin
honestly? my dog. i let him and me get way too big bc my pathetic ass dont have the willpower to take him for a walk at least once a week and as a result we're both fat depressed fucks who wont get out of bed. i owe it to him to get him out of the yard and see the world, i owe it to him to run with him by the water i wont let my own problems get in the way of his health anymore, and if i can burn away some fat and become a healthier person alon the way? thats just another bonus
Brayden Hall
If weight loss is the goal carbs should be kept to around 100grams a day,( if you're not very active due to your job, if you are more active, you're aloud more). Protein should be about 1 gram/ lb of bodyweight i.e. if you weight 200lbs eat 200g of protein a day. ALSO, make sure to only eat complex carbs, and plenty of fiber. No breads, sugars, etc.
Brandon Campbell
work out your abs, hit your obliques. not working your core is retarded. the ab routine by athlean-x is pretty intense for beginners and it's just like 10 minutes a day. >inb4 shill
James Taylor
I gained back ~10 pounds, but I'm officially back on track. God, what a stupid waste of two weeks. It wasn't even good.
Lucas Lopez
Yup I always feel like puking, like a dryness in my throat and a big urge to just yak a sour saliva.
Thanks for the advice, i'm keeping it my journal
Jackson Thomas
Anyone wanna do a (anonymous?) snapchat or discord group motivating each other to eat less?
Hudson Robinson
That feeling like you're going to die, is your body's CNS kicking into high gear.
Cameron Perry
>tfw vast majority of /fat/ will put weight after losing it
Matthew Ortiz
>discord
Nty. Maybe irc
Christopher King
what do you think /fat/ is user?
Matthew Murphy
I love it though, the natural high after that intense workout.
Tyler Peterson
can you have irc on your phone?
i knoowww, but with snapchat and discord you can have notifications on mobile etc to remind you to stop being a fattie :( I only go on Veeky Forums on desktop so thats not a lot
Levi Miller
its alright, guy. the world is gonna keep on turning and you just gotta keep moving with it.
weight doesnt stay put even with the strictest of diets. whats gained can be lost
Jose Hill
I'm fat as shit. Please tell me how to fix this.
Jeremiah Martinez
by not being a faggot
Oliver Miller
only real fatties allowed get out
Adam King
I'll keep this mind, user. Thanks.
Isaac Wright
I think so.
I always hated Discord, or just generally having a solid ego/identity is very offputting. I much prefer /fat/. If there was a way to anonymize Discord, I would.
Aiden Reyes
No, but fuck me that looks delicious.
Brandon Phillips
I don't want to be anal about my calories since i'm going to be doing this for a long time, i hate the look of myfitnesspal anyways so i haven't been counting calories and only vaguely calculating them in my head, and im losing weight, if i plateau i'll go back to counting
Austin Wright
>Those delts Lmao go post this in in /fraud or /plg and see what they say buddy. Not even decent enough to troll /fat with haha.
Zachary Davis
Dude, I'm fat as hell. The Fuck? I need to lose more weight, faster. Any tips?
Anthony Torres
Birthday is coming up, what's the best way to handle myself? Do I just go all out and fast the day after to make up for it or is it possible to enjoy myself without going full autistic and refusing to eat cake and other goodies?
Jordan James
Just manage the calories and forgoe the nutrional values
Austin Cooper
Depends on what you planned for your bday. Nothing wrong with going all out once every other week or month, depending on what that means for you.
Robert Gonzalez
>I'm fat as shit. Fuck off why are you even here
Joseph Torres
I'm so close to hitting my first milestone. I started off at 260.4 lbs. (I'm 6 feet tall) on July 23, and as of this morning I weighed 250.6 lbs., and I really should be under 250 by the end of the week unless something goes horribly wrong. I can't really see the difference in the mirror yet, but my clothes already fit better. It feels really good to be making this progress, and I'm optimistic I'll be able to keep it up, although probably not at the same rate.
What I've been doing so far is mostly about diet. I've been preparing all my meals at home (mostly homemade, but a few prepackaged) instead of grabbing fast food or ordering a pizza. No fast food, nothing from the vending machines at work, no sugary drinks, and way less snacking (and picking healthier, lower-calorie snacks). I've been tracking my calorie consumption every day and keeping it around 1,800/day. I've also been getting some light workouts -- walking/jogging 3 miles -- aiming for 3 or 4 a week.
Your doing everything right. Gradually increase the excersises and push yourself during them. Advice is to learn about Marcos and how each one effects your body.
Adrian Morgan
>. Advice is to learn about Marcos and how each one effects your body.
Any resources to get started on this?
Mason Gutierrez
>Gradually increase the excersises and push yourself during them. Yeah, I'm trying to improve the jogging/walking ratio as I go on. Between getting acclimated to working out again, improving my fitness, and decreasing my weight (and thus the beating my ankles, knees, and hips take), the workouts keep feeling better. I have been dealing with shin splints, though, so maybe it's time to get some new shoes, or at least inserts.
I really wish I was closer to the trail that runs between the two big parks in town. I'd love to be able to just hop on my bike and get on the trail. I like biking a lot more than walking or jogging, and I'm able to get a better workout with it, too. But I have quite a bit of a ride to get to the trail in the first place, and it seems like there's a new "cyclist hit by car" story in the newspaper every week or two.
Cameron Cooper
Any tips on boosting bench press on a cut, it's taking me a bit of time to up the weight now at 5x5 75kg
