/fat/ to Veeky Forums stories

I didn't take a before pic. Too ashamed, and I didn't really go through a massive weight loss. It was extremely gradual.

Late Teens: ~30%
18 to 23: Hovering between 15 to 20%
23 to now: 12%

This was me when I was probably 16 or 17%

Lost 100lbs, recently got a new job and my coworkers treat me like I'm one of them. They think I'm a bit thick but it's actually my debilitating social anxiety making me stutter and be non sensical at times. What you gonna do lol?

Can confirm. Got fat but kept my martial arts quads and calves. Building the upper body back up with lifts as I cut, but already my calves and shit look hot.

I'm 5'11 and went from 250lbs, fat and weak to 215lbs, lean and strong in about eight months. I'm on my second cycle of test which helped a lot but I also ate extremely clean and spent about 2 hours in the gym, 5 days per week. I had to change virtually every aspect of my life to make such a drastic improvement with my body. It feels really good. I have had ex girlfriends coming out of the wood work and I get a lot of attention from girls in public and get respect at the gym for lifting big/having an intimidating presence.

>Tell us how you got fit,
Veeky Forums helped, I had mucked around for years before finally losing it all/lifting. For ages all I did was cardio, didn't even work on the shit I was eating. I knew I started putting weight on in highschool but it was partly due to muh issues that it took so long to overcome.

>wasted years

>and how people's treatment of you changed afterwards.
Family acted all silly saying I was anorexic and shit even though I clearly wasn't and not to lose anymore as I was "wasting away".

Got a lot of attention after I lost it (strangely still got attention when I was obese though).

Ive told this story before, may change from earlier versions but that always happens

I never felt like people treated me poorly when I was fat because I was nice. I'm still nice, but I'm also skinny, so people treat me a lot better than they did before. Reaching a milestone where people you know are saying they're proud of your accomplishments is the best feeling in the world, especially when it's something that you spent every minute of every day working on for months on end.

Pic related, face differences. Don't have any pictures of those similar angles in the past few weeks, but nothing has really changed. my friends say I have a great jawline but I can't tell if serious

>they either don't believe me or they pick out one part of my routine and go "OMG that's bad for you" (coffee for breakfast, diet soda, eating lots of meat, etc.)

Fuck 'em, good on you for getting back into shape. It's so annoying when you have a routine that works, and you're seeing progress, only for someone to nitpick one specific thing and lower your self-esteem

>Family acted all silly saying I was anorexic and shit even though I clearly wasn't and not to lose anymore as I was "wasting away".

Same shit happened to me. 5'11 180lbs, still cutting from being a fat piece of shit and still in the overweight area of the BMI chart, my mother would see me and tell me to stop losing weight, since I was skinny enough, and that would get me pretty pissed because I knew that wasn't right at all. You look great man, it was in your best interest to lose weight and you stuck with it which is what matters/

Went from 110kg to 90kg but gained a bunch of muscle so the total fat loss was like 35kg probably.
Have stretch marks and sort of loose skin on belly as you cant really fill much muscle in there
Girls used to like me and I had several chances of getting a gf (wasted them all). Now girls appear to hate me and am a fit no gf virgin

I feel you.

Same thing at 18, why did I restrict calories back then? I was always in the gym. Do valet through my 20's with no gym time, start desk job at 30, 2 years later had to upsize my to wardrobe.

At least losing weight has been easy since I woke up.

I shouldn't read threads like this at night. I'm down 30 pounds. Makes me want to throw around kettle bells.

Also, OMAD makes it impossible to eat more then 1,200 calories a day. Fuck it I still lift heavy and get enough fats/protein.

>Tfw you put 20 pounds on your bench, 50 on squat and lose 30lb at the same time.

How tf do you increase your max when you're cutting?

Noob gainz?

310 down to 255. Im doing it Veeky Forums

You look great user. Keep it up!

thats pretty kick ass dude keep tha good shit up senpai i believe in you

Thanks man! First time I've posted, i was really anxious about it but that made my day.

>I fly high performance aircraft
is it possible to specifically apply to be an AWACs pilot?

Why is it women never seem happy with their friends weight loss but men always are?

Over the last 4 years I have tried to lose weight time after time, but I always failed. I am now back at it again.

The difference now is that my sugar addiction is virtually gone, which will make a huge impact. My family is also cutting down carbs and serving better options. These factors were not prevalent in my previous attempts. I also have a friend who will not stop nagging until I come to the gym with him.

Heaviest 255 lbs, currently 242 lbs. No real difference, but still on a great path.

My motivation now is a certain girl, I know that the more fat I lose = higher chance to get with her. However cliche that may sound it gets me to the gym and makes me skip unhealthy food most of the time.

Even though I have not yet succeeded my tips are:
1. Never give up. Even if you fall one, two, five, ten times, just get up once again. In the end this is your only choice if you want to succeed.
2. Find the root of your weight gain. For me I have periods in which I gain large amounts of weight. All these periods were when I was living alone and got bored and fed my boredom with large quantities of bad food.
3. Get addicted to the lifestyle. When you start going to the gym more and more, your reward system primes you for it and you actually start feeling good about working out. Also, when you are in a training phase you do not crave bad, greasy foods. You crave healthy foods that builds your body.
4. Find a training form that you actually enjoy.
5. Surround yourself with people who enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle. I am lucky in this regard because many of my closest friends are gym rats who are seeking aesthetics.

You're making Zyzz proud, mate. Keep going and never stop.

You can increase your max when cutting from noob gains. So as long as your defect isn't too severe youll be ok.

So I started taking eating and fitness seriously, lost 40kg, am currently at 100kg, 13% bodyfat.

I started training towards the army, got in, then medically discharged due to broken L5.

It made me honestly feel like a completely different person. Both from my perspective and other's. It's honestly amazing how much better people treat you just by looks alone. Though, I wasn't the biggest fan of it at the time.

Solid shit man.
I am basically in the same boat. I started at 315lbs and am now at 230lbs.
Lift weights too!

Im 250 now. Still working on it guys. Decided I dont wanna be ottermode again and im going for athketic/built

I got knocked down pretty good and spent fat too long trying to recover in comfort. Anyone else make this mistake?

sounds kinda pathetic

You made it brah.

Honestly it was, handled things pretty badly and given my time again id've done things very differently. But im here now on the right road and thats what counts

m or f?

You're an inspiration man, thanks for sharing your story.

He fucking made it.

More female interest. I’m still skinny just not dyel skinny. I’m 170 at 6’2 and 12% bodyfat so it’s skinny enough where I look decent for girls but dyel for fit standards.

This is me now, we’ll about 3 months ago before I started my bulk again. Back up to 88kg but lifts are dramatically increasing.

To anyone who’s been fit and got fat and wants to restart; don’t think of it as retracing steps. All you’ll do is depress yourself with thoughts of “Ive been here before.” This is a new journey into a new you, sure some lessons will be the same but this isn’t the same journey, don’t compare yourself to what was, but focus on what will be.

we're all gonna make it

Just more motivation to keep going, I suppose. I told myself I’ll stop once I feel comfortable taking my shirt off and/or I lose my FUPA and get all my dick length back, so I’m thinking I need to lose another 40lbs at least.

Root for me boys. Gonna run as long as I can when I hit the gym in an hour.

>275 lbs
>natural musclar asthetic

u have 70" hips lamo

My body perception never matches my actual weight. I mean, I wear size 40 jeans right now. Plus, my upper-upper body is the part that looks decent contrary to my weight. Broad shoulders, nice traps, upper chest is getting flatter, etc.

stretch marks are badges of battles well fought user. I am proud of you

my auntie asked me if I started doing sports, that's pretty much it

because women are shallow pond scum

confidence is good

but everyone has work to do

pics

On phone, sorry if the picture is rotated.

Me at 325lbs-330lbs in September.

1/2

At 285lbs-280lbs few weeks ago.

I know I have a long ways to go still.

looking similar to a buddy of mine
he lost a ton of weight too over a small amount of time with the right diet and going to the gym with me
just keep on and you can do it bruv

in sophomore year of high school i got really thin, lost 40 pounds.
nobody noticed besides the teachers

fantastic work my bro, keep it up

From
280 to 170
Fat woman ignore you like the plague. Shit ton of attention from 6's and 7's sometimes the odd 8.
Weak men look at you with a fuck you attitude. Strong men are friendly and like to talk. But everywhere you go heads are turning. After a while you accept you are attractive now. Gets pretty annoying sometimes.

Down nearly 40kg, just for off diabetes meds after being diagnosed 9 months ago. I feel fantastic, but I still have weight to lose and muscle to gain.

People I know are asking me how I lost weight, but otherwise I haven't noticed much change.

Thanks guys. I’m kind of in this by myself so the encouragement really is welcomed.

youre not alone because were ALL gonna make it

Dont let the fat powerlifters get you down bro, you fucking made it.

Kek at the boxer bro. Keep it up you just might make it

>Automatically being respected everywhere I go

Feels bretty gud fammy

Gym chad who fucked like at least 6 girls from the gym in the span of a year became more hostile towards me, tried dominating me like a bully and then when I didn't budge, he became more friendly with me and now I've been hanging out with him every now and then.

Women are wicked creatures. Glad you made it, user.

I'm still going but, fuck, I can't even imagine what it's going to be like when I lose the rest of this weight.

I'm more angry with myself for not divorcing sooner and getting my head sorted out, feel like a blind man seeing for the first time.

Nice work dude

I've heard a similar story before but I never really wanted to ask an IRL friend this. How does a girl stop you from lifting and training, like what does she say and why do you think she said it?

>tfw OMAD at 3100 calories

Life is good.

...

This is hitting me in the feels because I'm a dad. My boy is four and no matter how active I keep him and no matter how healthy I feed him, he keeps gaining weight because his mother feeds him garbage and makes him watch TV all day. We trade him every Friday and keep him for a week. She is a genuine piece of shit person and mother and I'm trying hard to get full custody before he starts kindergarten to avoid him having a story like your's.

Walking into me, doing things as slowly as possible if he saw I was waiting to use the machine/rack/faucet he was using, staring me down etc. Really autistic shit.

Male, I just like long hair. someone on Veeky Forums thought I was trans when I posted a face pic. Do I just look androgynous or something? I always thought I looked distinctly male

Not great advice but I just lifted when I felt recovered and ate less. Had no program but I guess it just worked cause I was young. More fat to Normie than fat to fit desu, have been doing 5x5 for a couple months though. Still scared to gain any weight back lol. 25 pound differences btw

This

saaame
Im currently losing weight and I've noticed my calves and legs are huge compared to most people. So I won't worry about growing them, I just have to maintain them and get a stronger upper body wise.
