Gains are made in the kitchen, whether it's losing fat or building muscle.

Pick up some of your favorite fruit instead and have a sane portion.

hate some cheese on toast last night that came in around 600cals, still remain in a deficit though. lost 5lbs last week.

Forgive me father, I'm on a 33 day water fast but i bought some extremely reduced sweets and soups

-Oreo ice cream bars, pack of 6 for 40p x 3 2 regular, 1 peanut butter
-Fab lollies - 50 pence for pack of 8
-Fruit pastille yogurt sorbet lollies - 30p for 6 x 2
-halloween share bag of skittles, 60p for a part of bout 25 little bags of skittles
-turkey breast fillets, 1.20 quid each for 250g x 2
-4 packets of beef jerky, 70p each for 40g packs
-turkey breast slices - 70p for 8 slices
- tons of these protein souper cartons 10p each, like 30 in total, high protein low kcal soups, pulled pork/chicken/peppered steak - only real healthy buy except from turkey.

i dont know why i wrote out my shopping list, i havent eaten any of it yet but i gave into clearance/halloween buys.

Is it even worth cycling if all you have is plain roads, jogging is the most boring excercise ever

Idk, yeah probably. Whatever will get you actually doing cardio is what's best for you. Bike's not gonna do you any good if it's just sitting in the garage collecting dust.

This isn't for everyone, but I knew that making an investment in a high-quality dance pad to play Stepmania on my PC was the best way for me to guarantee I would get my cardio in 5 days a week or more.
>10's of thousands of official and fanmade songs to play
>can make my own stepcharts from my favorite weeb shit
>high-level DDR is essentially HIIT cardio
>gamification is already part of the deal, no extra incentives necessary

You need to find an exercise that you enjoy or a way to make it enjoyable. I used to jog at a local nature reserve. Ground was much more forgiving and the scenery was beautiful.

Fought off the temptation and opted for some strawberries. God damn, I sat there staring at that bar for a good three minutes. Small victories are victories all the same.

You're doing yourself a disservice by comparing yourself to other. Compare yourself to how much you've progressed, that's way more important. There are always going to be people stronger than you and that's okay, it's not what truly matters anyway

Something funny about DDR/Stepmania, in my city there are still arcades and they always have at least one DDR machine, the fattest guys are usually the best ones, to the point where even people stand and watch them dance. They will play 10+ songs and then leave.

bruhhh I am fucking proud as SHIT of you right now. It might seem small, but all of these small decisions you make will add up quickly. Keep it up, man!

What is water fasting? You drink only water for an x days?

Hahah, yeah man that's true up here too. We had a pretty strong competitive scene back in the day and one of the best players was Big Gay Seth. Dude had to be at least 300 lb at 5'8-ish and rekt faces in tournaments consistently.
Our arcades are always in food courts, so... yeah, makes sense hah.

just try and think beyond the temptation.
if you were to eat it, would you feel better or would you feel like shit?
exactly.

>80.4kg
>Birthday on Sunday
Doing intermittent fasting, exercising, eating less than 1,000 kcal.

Should be under 80kg for my birthday.
First time in like 20 years.

>lose 70lbs
>sitting on my ass isn't as comfy
I never asked for this

I went food shopping while hungry and bought peanuts. I ate 20oz (3400 calories) yesterday. Thinking of fasting today to even things out.

Here's a personal story I want to share to the fatties

When I was going through school I was an obese son of a bitch. Popular, charismatic, I had friends.. Basically everything about me was good except for my appearance. Friends would occasionally joke about me, whenever we played jumper cables people could grab onto my fat, and I'd never get picked in gym class but I never really let that be a bother. Well, after I turned 18 and graduated some months later I cut off all contacts and pretty much blossomed into a full-blown introvert. I was really out of shape and unmotivated to do anything. Then one day I was taking off my clothes to shower and I glanced in the mirror and was fucking appalled; My gut was all out, I had flabby titties, and thunder thighs. I just had this moment of self-awareness where I was absolutely repulsed by how I looked.

So I decided that this can't go on anymore. I educated myself on calories, TDEE, ect. At first I didn't count anything I just stopped drinking milk and switched to water (little gross at first but I 100% love it now). I used to drink these huge cups of milk with every thing I ate (I'll never forget the shock I had when I saw the sheer amount of excess calories I was consuming.). Later on I improved upon that by eating healthy food and properly counting my weight and calories.

Now I'm 133.6 lbs at 5'7 and just the other day I realized I have visible fucking abs. Abs that you can literally touch and put your finger in the crevices. Holy shit it feels so amazing doing it, the self-esteem boost is gigantic too. Also I wear a small. I remember putting on my old pants that I wore when I was younger and them not even being able to fit because the waist size is significantly smaller.

I just want to say that you guys can do it. I've been through what you've been through. The most important part of weight loss is teaching yourself that food isn't everything, don't let it dictate your life.

We're all going to make it.

I have the same thing. I actually have audibly yelled out in pain when I sat my ass down too hard on the floor because my tailbone smacked right into it.

No loose skin?

A little on my thighs and lower stomach but that stuff gets tightened up by muscle and it fades stretch marks a lot as a bonus. I wasn't morbidly obese after all. If you're fat don't just try to lose weight, you have to get Veeky Forums too. I'm currently in the process of it. This just takes time. Anything worth pursuing in this life does.

Munched a pack of nature valley popcorn bar things the other night, still under maintenance though.

My weight is 65 kilo ( I'm 155 cm "tall")
I want to loose 15 kilos. I started few days ago, hopefully in 6 months the fat is gone

thicc

Well, do you think if I lose 10 kilos, that I will look good ? Or should I lose 15 kilos ?

I'm the wrong person to ask, I have very high test

>5'7

Any of you had any experience building core strength with a totally fucked lower back? I'm getting my fitness together quite nicely in general but I still can't do a pushup without buckling at the waist, it's pathetic. I need something that starts off very gentle because I have herniated discs the size of frisbees.

fix your knock knees

air squats + machine crunches, and fix your posture in day-to-day life

Get to 10kg lost and go from there. From what I can see, you've got the goods but they're all padded up just a bit too much for my liking, to be brutally honest. If anything, you need to figure out nutrition NOW before it gets out of hand. Right now it will be easy, 6 months later will be a harder, a year will be even harder. Read the sticky, start measuring body fat %.

and the pigeon toed stance is cute, don't drop that.

Gross

What's upsetting is that there are desperate betas who will validate your shitty existence.

I don't have it lol

start counting calories and go lift. You will look good once you're done.

There is no secret, eat less and lift. Don't believe in those facebook memes motivation group or anything fake trainers tells you.

?

Yeah I'm a manlet. At least I'm not fat anymore.

I eat less, I dance (but not too much) I go running with my friend twice a week (just 30 minutes...) I also do squads
It is enough ?

Halloween. That is all.

Fuck yeah, brah! You're gonna make it like that! I love me half an apple with cashew butter to get over my sweet cravings.

Monday = 1100 calories
Tuesday = 1900 calories
Wednesday = 1400 calories
Thursday = 1000 calories ( I ate pizza as dinner :/ )

I did not eat candies, I drink green tea and water

boys how do i avoid eating like a pig late at night?

i have no problem during the day but like the last 1-2 hours before i go to sleep the urge kicks in and eating like a glutton is the only thing i can think about. it drives me insane

Mm, I'll have to try that. Juicy pears are my shit lately. I buy 4 bartletts and throw them in a paper bag. Each day I have one, by the 4th day the last one is glorious. i cri evrytiem

Had some chocolate the other day.

I recommend green tea

Macha is good as fug

I know so good

Had a bowl of oatmeal with half a cup of granola, a quarter cup of raisins, and a banana on the side for breakfast. Nothing too bad since it keeps me full for like the whole day but I'm going out to eat later today for my bro's birthday today and I'm just gonna have one mozzerella stick so I don't fuck myself over even more.

Yeah I'm working on the posture, it was absolutely terrible but I'm starting to feel like things are lining up more naturally when I walk now. I'll do a 0-200 squats app thing and see how it goes.

>four different tubs of icecream in fridge
>3 20 packs of soda in basement
>random candy in the cabinets
>junk food like chips stocked in lower cabinets

bruh, what can I make that will just immediately take my mind off this stuff? Like a fun recipe for something healthy might be enough to distract me.

I need to step the fuck up and get down to 210 already. It'll be an ego crush when my best friend hits 199 before me, the least I can do is not be too far behind.

Gonna have a praline for Saturday's cheat. Maybe even some egg nog. Egg nog will be a cheat item every week until it's unavailable.

Make your own egg nog. I know it'd be dangerous and tempting to have in the house, but it's way better.

Also, you can age it if it's over 50% alcohol. It's fridge stable indefinitely. It's odd to think about but it mellows the taste. I have been keeping a batch for about 5 months now in prep for the holidays.

Correction: 20% alcohol

Thank you for that man. I'm projecting to hit my goal weight in mid March. Things like these keep me going.

The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now. Get back on that horse right now and ride it to a healthy weight.

Mashed cauliflower with a quarter tablespoon of butter in a divet made with a spoon and black pepper on top plus either chicken tenderloin in hot sauce or tilapia with chipotle powder and lemon juice seasoning.

Jumper cables?

Nah the second best time is nineteen years ago

Form your hand like a crab pincer, walk up to somebody, and dig your fingers into their sides.

It's an ancient Chinese proverb I'm quoting. Don't blame me. Anyways you get what I mean you lovable cheeky cunt you.

Sounds better than the games we played in high school. We had one called Bangkok where you ask someone what the capitol of Thailand was and if they didn't know you punch them in the dick and yell Bangkok. I never participated and let it be known that anyone punching me in the dick would be getting one to the chin.

>We had one called Bangkok where you ask someone what the capitol of Thailand was and if they didn't know you punch them in the dick and yell Bangkok

starting weight?

>Lost 20kg
>Got a qt girlfriend
>Tfw motivation lost made me go back up 5kg

SHIIIITTTT

180 and that was when I was of course even shorter than I am now.

How do I get 150g of protein in a day if I can only eat ~1500 kcals a day?

>Was a fatfuck
>Got terrible stretchmarks
>Got really scared for my health and appearance
>Got kinda skinny and then kinda fit
>Have visible abs, women make me compliments about my appearance, recently a guy at the gym asked me how I got fit
>I still hate my body because stretchmarks didn't go anywhere and they look disgusting and can't get undressed in the presence of a woman
Fuck my life. To fellow fatfucks with bigass stretchmarks - don't dream about getting ideal body, you won't have it, it will only get you depressed. Just be somewhat lean and don't spend too much time in the gym for your health and pleasure.

Skinless chicken tenderloin. You can get ~200 for 750 calories

Lol literally my friend. Was motivated as fuck, got a gf who likes chubby guys and sweets (she's lean though) and gain some weight back. But he can exercise during working time at be work (they have a self-made gym right at work) so he exercise 5/7 and doesn't get more fat but doesn't lose weight either.

You must've had some really bad ones. I had a few on my stomach and now that I'm pretty muscular they're imperceptible. Same with my biceps.

>be eh looking
>6’0 230lb
>working hella hard on a cut, everything going well
>meet girl in art class, become friends and then get interested
>leave comfort zone to hold the L in an awful way, look really stupid
College dating is hard and stupid, but I’ve been more focused because of how dumb I allowed myself to look. These threads really keep me focused and give me the occasional kek. You fucks help my motivation, thanks /fat/. sorry for blogpost senpai

Coming up on 100 pounds lost. There so much further left to go, but this still feels like a huge milestone.

Some people said they look like scars not a stretchmarks, so yeah.

>>I still hate my body because stretchmarks didn't go anywhere and they look disgusting and can't get undressed in the presence of a woman

Use your dick to distract her.

Fellow girl here, slightly smaller than you height wise (145 cm), but with similar weight goals -10-15 ish to go, 13 lost so far. What are your daily calorie goals? It sounds like you’re doing enough exercise between squads, dancing and running (although there’s always room for more if you want to), but your calories are all over the place. Are you binging and then essentially not eating much the next day, or?

Also, don’t feel guilty for eating pizza, and if you want a few sweets then go for it. What you’re doing now is going to have to last you for the rest of your life, so you need to learn moderation. A sensible portion of pizza is fine once in a while, as is a small amount of sweets. Denying yourself of absolutely everything is likely to lead to binging, and lowering the chances you’ll be able to keep going with the new eating regime for life.

Keep at it though! My goal is 40-45kg eventually, so I suspect you’ll want to get down to 50ish? But as the other chaps said, lift and reevaluate once you’ve lost the 10kg!

Trying to figure out if this is just extra fat I need to lose or if it is loose skin.

Don't know why it is upside down. Down almost 60lbs so thinking it may be loose skin

started going to the gym. i readjusted my calories and it says i need to eat 3k just to cut. what the fuck

i would need to eat 650g of chickn per day

Definitely fat. You've still got a ways to go, boy

that's not a whole lot, dude

It's fat, as I remember I had something like this.

I am currently at 183 lbs trying to cut down to 170 or so. Should I shoot for 165? I am 5'11 by the way, thanks.

Why would you need so much protein?

>150
>So much
Really?

You don't have a lot of muscle so it might need to be even less. Although honestly, I wouldn't set a weight goal, just keep cutting until there is no doubt that you're lean.

are you a literal dwarf or something? 150g is perfectly normal

Weight goals aren't really good especially when you are lifting hard. Visible abs = you are somewhat good, no abs = control your intake.

Isn't the recommended amount ~1.4g per kg of a dry weight?

Thanks !
Today I danced for 35 minutes (kpop), enough for today.
Calories should be 1300-2300 for me

For normies. If you lift 2g+ per kg.

Chips and queso
Quesadillas
Champagne
Apple pie
I hate myself

sorry for long reply, dancing won't help much but i guess if you enjoy it go for it. Running twice a week is good, if you do squat 3-4 times a week thats good but you need to add more.

Buy a abs wheel and some like weight (20-30lbs depending) for about 100$ you should be good to go for a while

God bless femannon

>5'8 256lbs
>mom tries to say BMI doesn't matter when i tell her i'm overweight
>uses strongmen as an example of why weight doesn't mean anything

my water retention fluctuates very wildly from day to day or whether or not I drink creatine/protein shake/lifting hard.

I'm dilligent about tracking and stay under 1500, but it's disheartening to see the scale go up when I now I'm not gaining.

221 down from 237 6 weeks ago. I think I'm gonna make it, my goal is 200 by Christmas to impress family. IF and cutting out soda and trying to hit 10,000 steps a day is all I'm doing, I'm still too much of a pussy to try to go lift.

good shit user
how come you don't want to lift

After a month and a half of lifting and eating proper, I had to go off my bipolar meds and I went on a 3 week binge of eating awful and sitting around not doing shit.

Lost all the progress I made. It really sucks. Feelsbadman.jpg

Oh shit, I like dancing lol, well but kpop is kinda difficult
And running is hell for me, I once run for 15 minutes without a breake, I died
