Been trying to lose this last ring of belly fat for about a month now without any success. Can someone just shoot me? I’m not worthy of being on this planet
Luis Jenkins
Daily reminder that fasting is the way to go. CICO is not all that bad, but forcing your body to use its fat is the best way to get rid of it.
Lost 75 pounds in 6 months and 25 this past month. No loose skin, never got sick.
Aiden Cooper
Carb/calorie cycling (leangains or lyle mcdonald's stubborn fat diet or the like) or plastic surgery.
Christopher Ramirez
Nah I just need to stick to 1200 cals/day but I don’t have the heart
William Gonzalez
I know you are not serious, but saying shit like that about yourself is a good way to completely ruin your self esteem. Cut it out.
You'd never say it about someone else, would you? Why on earth do you say it to yourself?
Elijah Torres
water fast for 2 weeks, I have fasted over 60 day snow and lost over 80lbs of fat
Henry Scott

CONFESS
Mason Young
Didn't take before/after pics but started at 265 with 47'' navel but now 190 with 36'' navel. Overall feel and look a lot better.
Elijah Cruz
Don't let the dysphoria win, you've come a huge way and you're nowhere near as bad as you think you are. You got this, just keep working. Be kind to yourself bro
Hunter Perez
What's "trying"? Eat 1000 calories a day of mostly protein, swim for an hour every day, and lift every other day
Juan Foster
don't let this faggot trick you when it comes to being lean having chub is a stone throw away from morbidly obese, get 12% and under or you are scum remember that, literally no one wants to see a chub physique no matter how little chub
Brayden Jackson
That's still impressive. You should take pics the next time you get fat. :^)
Angel Bennett
this idiot thinks highly restricted calories is either healthier or more effective than fasting JFL @ YOU
go look up some research loser

Is drinking diet soda once a week okay?
Benjamin James
Weighed in at 215 today, started at 249. I usually cheat big on Saturdays but I chilled out and maxxed out at 1500. I'm so goddamn ready to see 20X and I don't want it to take until December to lose 6 lbs. I hope I can hit 209 before December 1. I'm really motivated to not cheat for the rest of 2017, but I'm not sure if I can handle fasting every Sunday which would greatly help. I'll try though.
Blake Morris
Weighed in today just at 211.8. >started at 301
Just not seeing it with these moobs. They literally will be the last place I lose weight.
We're all gonna make it boys.
Evan Thompson
>you’d never say it about someone else, would you? Do you realize where you are nigger
Michael Davis
Yeah, but here it's pretty obvious the self loathing is a bit more serious. He says that kind of shit about himself, to himself, all the time. I know I used to.
Evan Clark
Think I ate too much today. Will eat less tomorrow. All good.
Evan Lewis
Nothing to confess today, as long as I stay good for the next two and a half hours >just keep drinking water
Luis Hughes
77.2kg today (170.19lbs).
Could hit a healthy weight range starting at 66kg by March, theoretically. And I think my moobs are shrinking. My chest is going to be awful at the end, even with lifting.
Noah King
Planned on grabbing a large chili from Wendy's when I was out doing shit earlier. 300 cal for the large, 30 for the sour cream packet, counting as 400 total. I dunno how in the hell I used to eat one of these along with a double stack, fries and frosty. I had all of the large chili with water and I am uncomfortably full.
800 cals down for the day, 600 left. Won't be remotely hungry for another 3 or 4 hours... it's weird but awesome.
Benjamin Williams

Jace Butler
Yeah, if it's not a ridiculous amount. Just don't use it as a crutch too often.
Elijah Hernandez
A friend of mine gave me a box of fancy Halloween chocolates as a gift.
I didn't even know they made those. I'm gonna eat one a day as dessert until they are gone.
Remember friends, moderation can save you.
Ian Martin
Here's a question for you, /fat/: how would I track calories from a bowl of cauliflower and broccoli? I know the weight of the total vegetables, 800g, but I can't be assed to separate the cauliflower from the broccoli to know how much was in each of them. Google gives slightly more calories for broccoli than cauliflower. Should I just ballpark it and round up? I'm thinking of just saying 250 and calling it a day. What would you guys do?
Owen Morris
When in doubt, track the maximal possible calories.
Sebastian Stewart
Yes, just ballpark it and round up. Don't stress about little stuff like this. Just remember to add the fat you used to cook it, if you sautéed.
Camden Garcia
>tfw eat 800 calories at 12:00 >mfw feel hungry 2 hours later How do you ignore the cravings?
Elijah Johnson
HOW DO I STOP EATING AT NIGHT?!
Ethan Johnson
I swear to Christ this isn't a brap post. I used to eat refried beans all the time and had no problem. Year and a half of dieting later I decide to have a cheat meal with the beans. I CANNOT stop farting. I'm trying to sleep. And my stomach hurts too. Fuck.
Hudson Brooks
Go to sleep.
Julian Lewis
...
Oliver Morgan
What's worked for me is that I don't. I just plan my calories around it. So I eat far less for breakfast and lunch. When I'm at work I can't eat anything but what I bring anyway.
That way once I'm home, I can either eat until I hit my calorie goal, or exercise some restraint and make it even lower for the day.
Gabriel Howard
Agreed, I do the same ('cept I work from home). I don't see how some /fat/ties can go from higher calorie meals to lower cals throughout the day. Never worked out for me years ago.
But it's up to each person to figure out what works for them and stick with it.
Landon Ward
You should add these things in the OP, >calorie amount for each meal >eat something, snack or meal, every 3 hours >cardio exercise duration and target heart rate zone >supplements for fat burning/energy
Jaxson Gonzalez
Do intermittent fasting. I'm never hungry after waking up anyway, and it's easy for me to hold off on eating for a long time. But once I start it gets more and more difficult to stop. So just limit your eating to an 8 hour or less window and it makes things easier. Though it is best to stop eating at least 3 hours or so before going to sleep. But do what works best for you.
Nathan Collins
Can people post sample diets? I need a variety of shit since I never grew up with basic foods Off the top of my head and written in front of me, I could only come up with like four things I can make that isn't total garbage fatty foods
Josiah Ward
This happened yesterday. After I came home from the gym my roommate told me he would grab some shit at the new fish&chips restaurant nearby.
Leo Lee
I can summarize what I ate today:
Dave's killer bread, good seed, mini-slice toasted: 70 cal with 50 cal peanut butter, 120 cal
Pure Protein bar: 190cal
Large chili from Wendys with sour cream packet: 300/30 (counted as 400)
Glass of psyllium husk water, 50 cal at most
One bartlett pear: 100 cal
1 slice pepperoni pizza: 400cal (probably closer to 300, but playing it safe)
1/4 cup HaloTop: 70 cal
Comes out to 1330 for the day. I wouldn't exactly call it a particularly healthy day, but it's under my goal of 1400 cal (bmr 1650, tdee 2100).
Levi Richardson
Go to farmers market, pick up literally anything, mix and match as you see fit, prepare in any way that doesn't involve adding fats.
Tyler Reed
288 mid-April 5,9
feels good man
Anthony Rivera
Pretty much all of that is to some degree subjective, man.
Calorie amount for each meal depends on your TDEE/deficit/# of meals
Some people stand by OMAD or even water fasting, so obviously they'd object to being told to eat every 3 hours. I eat frequently but every 3 hours sounds unnecessary to me.
Cardio exercise duration obviously depends on current fitness and ability, as I assume does target heart rate
Supplements for burning fat are entirely unnecessary, as are energy supplements if you are getting proper sleep. And to top that all off, it's incredibly clear very few people even read the OP.
Angel Anderson
Too much salt dude
Lucas Cox
Yep, agreed. I should have saved the pizza for the next day and sauteed some zucchini noodles (garlic, EVOO, pepper) instead but I was being lazy today.
Aaron Parker
To keep the body's metabolism going it needs fuel of some sort at least every 3 hours; and yeah some people burn 3k cal resting daily and other 2k so the calories for each meal would be dependent on that. I eat about 250 cal for each meal, my snacks are between 100-200 for a total of around 1100 calories of food daily.
Michael Price
>get woken up multiple times at 2-4 am by the same drunk who keeps banging on my doors >can't back to sleep because I'm starving >make myself a entire pack on pasta >finish eating all of it, feel way more hungry than when I started
carbohydrates are a meme
Benjamin Rodriguez
Genetics. You don't get to choose where you lose fat.
I'm the same way. Chest fat is always the last to go.
Samuel Garcia
Got shit from my mom again regarding the keto diet. I swear she probably used every retarded diet-related myth imaginable. >eating fat makes you fat! >not eating carbs will make you go into starvation mode and when you stop the diet you'll gain back all the weight and more! >fat is bad for you! >how do you expect to lose weight by eating bacon? I swear to God.
Alexander Perez
Great job m8! Keep it up and whenever it seems like it's too tough just remember how far you've come. Also be sure to relish dat dropping below 200lbs feel. It's a fucking great one.
Elijah Thomas
Me too =(
Dropped 3 waist sizes, stomach fat is finally starting to go, but only seeing minor moob reductions
Joseph Moore
Lol. I've dropped almost 80lbs and was contemplating trying keto just to see if it would help boost my currently declining rate of weight loss. I mentioned it in passing to my mom that I might give it a shot in the coming weeks and she flipped out saying that it was unhealthy and that I should stop losing as I've already lost enough (i'm barely into normal weight range) and that keto diet is dangerous or some shit.
Anyway, be sure to show your mother the results of the diet and prove to her that just because you eat fat and bacon doesn't mean you can't lose weight. I find it funny when I tell people that counting calories is the only truly necessary thing you need to do to lose weight. Calories in/calories out deniers amuse the fuck out of me.
Ayden Wood
>Anyway, be sure to show your mother the results of the diet I'm doing just that. I lost 3kg so far (~1.5kg water and 1.5kg fat over nearly 2 weeks). Just told her that I'll keep trusting my research and the numbers on the scale over her opinions. I could have just gone CICO but I kinda wanted the weight loss to be as fast as possible and reading that keto could boost it a bit I figured I might as well try it. I didn't really notice the keto flu, I guess I might have been slightly foggy during the first few days but I never felt like I might faint or anything, even while lifting. I do piss about a million times a day though.
Luke Moore
Holy shit this is awful. That aftertaste.
Xavier Collins
Your mom's smarter than you.
Noah Johnson
So I recently asked out this girl I've had thing for a while and she said yes. I was so happy until I looked in the mirror and realized what she said yes to. A girl like that deserves me at my best, not this 240 pound slob. I'm bitting the bullet and getting Veeky Forums. I'm going to the gym Monday and starting a beginners 5x5 of squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. I also decided to cut junk food and sugar completely. Some anons talked me into water fasting. How does this all sound?
Jaxon Walker
Pathetic.
Nicholas Lewis
>Consuming sugar alcohols
Jace Richardson
Should I do this for me instead?
Daniel King
You should do most everything for self improvement. The rewards come from being a better person. I only worry that if you're doing it for a girl if it doesn't work out you will lose motivation instead of becoming a better you, man.
Adrian Morales
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting
Asher Ross
That's the problem. I can't do it for me right now. All my life, I've been treated like trash. Ive been neglected by my family and left to rot. My foster parents are just as bad and as abusive.At least the cartel treated me better than these horrible excuses for parents. But this girl, makes me feel like I'm worth something. And if she's happy with me, then I maybe there is something good about me. Maybe I can use her for temporary motivation until I can love myself?
Daniel Richardson
Today I have hit 81.5 kilograms The lowest I have been since like 2012 For reference I started my journey in April 2015 and I was at 120 kilograms, the highest I ever was. Also buying clothes that both look good and fits great is the best thing ever.
David Morales
Started in January at 302lbs, weighed in at 250. Goal is at least 220. Am I gonna make it?
Ayden Martinez
I'm neither ironic nor shitposting. Fat makes you fat and is bad for you and you will yoyo back. You're like every other gullible retard who thinks they found a life hack that lets you lose weight while snarfing down bacon and fried cheese. Come back in a year or two and tell us about your amazing permanent weight loss on your keto lifestyle.
Cameron Fisher
Bacon is perfectly fine as long as you're within your calories and hit your macros, and the only "yoyoing" that will happen is gaining 2 or 3 pounds of water when getting back on carbs. You're retarded and will remain fat forever.
Asher Bennett
Your "macros" should be like 90% carb, that's like a thin slice of bacon once a day. And that probably also fills your sodium quota for the day. My BMI's 21, what's yours?
Jack Allen
You could just eat a protein bar.
Isaiah Carter
>90% carbs >like a thin slice of bacon a day What the fuck am I reading?
Luke Brown
I don't buy any snack food unless I immediately need it because otherwise I'll eat it
Charles Ramirez
You're gonna make it for sure user, keep it up!
Colton Mitchell
You have no self control fatty. You never going to make it.
Grayson Carter
lol jokes on you I've already made it (110kg -> 70kg) despite having chronic low testosterone but I wanna go for skinny boi aesthetics so I'm trying to get down to 60kg
I've managed to resist eating anything all day anyway, I just need to push on till tomorrow and I can eat again. This hunger is my penance for being an impulsive fuck
Bentley Jackson
Don't be a dick. Veeky Forums is a self-improvement board, user will make it if they really put themselves into it.
Fat/former fat people are notoriously bad with controlling themselves around food because they are physically addicted to it, some of them have a binge eating problem. I have to do the exact same thing as user and not keep that shit around, because I've lost 130lbs but the urges don't go away if that shit is in my house.
Brayden Martinez
>lol Yeah anyone who starts a sentence like that hasn't made it thanks for proving me right.
I'm saying the truth sorry it hurts fatty.
Blake Carter
Get a girlfriend and lose your virginity user. Spending too much time trolling Veeky Forums isn't healthy.
William Scott
Why are you not climbing stairs right now friends?
Sebastian Stewart
I have a girlfriend but you wouldn't know since you are still fat. Maybe if you got skinny like me you would have one.
Oliver Martin
get fucked loser
we're all gonna make it brahs, even a zero willpower shutin who hates exercise like me made it

how about you post an image of yourself now?
Cameron Young
New fatty trying to get Veeky Forums, I'm starting a beginners 5x5 of squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. Is there anything else I should add or is this ok for a newbie?

You are the one tricking the fatties here. You keep posting pictures of people who aren't even you man.

Hey fatties i need help, what size of underwear do you wear if your pant size is 40/30 or 38/30?

Give up underwear. It's a Jewish plot.
Juan Torres

Samuel Turner
i planned on cheating today but i just couldn't bring myself do it. Not only would the pizza be significantly more expensive than my usual meal, i also haven't eaten anything greasy like that in over 200 days and don't wanna deal with potential stomach problems and of course it would be ~1500 calories for something i probably wouldn't even enjoy.
Kevin Thomas
>forcing your body to use it's fat what do you think cico is lol
Nathaniel Perry
>To keep the body's metabolism going it needs fuel of some sort at least every 3 hours lol no it doesn't. i don't like these water fasting fags but they eat nothing for days and are fine. also caloric need is almost completely dependent on weight. from my calculations you need about 100 cals for ever 20lbs of body weight. 2 people of the same weight and activity level will most certainly have near identical tdee
Asher Barnes
>eat like garbage past two days >pizza, candy, fuck ton of bread, etc >lost a pound i dont understand. i didn't exercise or anything but i wont complain i guess. thankfully my stomach is in shambles so i wont be doing that again any time soon
