to what degree can raw (shredded) cabbage replace bread? it turns out I eat about ~2600 calories a day. replacing ~350 grams of bread (~850 calories) with ~350 grams of cabbage (~90 grams) would make my daily intake drop from ~2600 to ~1840. seems too good to be true as what worries me the most is length of fullness as I aim to maintain 3 meals with no snacks. also are there any particular veggies that provide fullness? and does cabbage have to be washed beyond throwing the outer leaves into garbage?
>>77589010Soups made from roasted vegetables are delicious. Wish I could make them more often. What do you think of miso soup? Japanese eat them for every meal and they're filling and customizable. They take 10 minutes to make because you're just stirring dashi powder and miso paste into hot water, but they have a lot of flavor. Add rehydrated wakame or some baby spinach for fiber and firm tofu cubes or an egg for protein.
>>77587933I think it's easier to restrict, mark certain foods as off-limits. I find it difficult to stop at a moderate portion when the food is right there. Constantly tasting a bite of the food here and there is just reminding me that it exists and keeping it at the forefront of my mind. If I decide a food is off-limits, then that is the decision being made and I don't have to revisit it or renegotiate every time I see the food in the kitchen.
>>77589559>are there any particular veggies that provide fullness?potatoes are the GOAT.>does cabbage have to be washed beyond throwing the outer leaves into garbage?yes. thoroughly.
>>77589580>potatoes are the GOAT.about time I started baking some potatoes. hopefully white potato (europe) will do fine.>yes. thoroughly.thanks!
>>77589580>>are there any particular veggies that provide fullness?>potatoes are the GOAT.I believe you need to eat them with the skin for the best effect?
I’ve been isolating myself for a while due to how disgusted I felt at myself. I hope that people will treat me with more kindness after losing weight.
>>77589372Ok.Just don't eat. Like skip a week of food and see what happens.How many of these duck and nune images exist?
>>77587933What worked for me was not buying any junk food anymore at all, however not banning it completely either. If I want to eat it I have to make it myself from scratch. If I bake something like brownies I preportion it and freeze them. thawing them naturally takes a while so I let one piece thaw and I can't just binge them all at once.>>77588258When I start hating my lifting routine I either switch it up and just do my favourite exercises for a few days or do some totally different workout like going for a long bikeride or a swim. The most important part to not spiral into quitting is to at least keep the workout days active.

>put on an XL size shirt>too big, hangs on me like a gown>put on an L size shirt>slightly tight and uncomfortableWhat is this cursed fucking stage
How do you former fatties get over the mental block of bulking?>Spend years fighting against your own ravenous appetite, denying yourself food, counting every calorie, and basically having to fight your own body every single day just to stop being an obese fuck>Finally manage to lose the weight after God knows how much effort and self-denial>Still don't even look particularly good, just halfway decent with that weirdly soft, bulbous look>Apparently you need to bulk to look decent WHAT? You're telling me that after spending years teaching myself to eat LESS, fighting the urge to eat more at every opportunity, and living in constant fear of putting the weight back on, I'm now supposed to deliberately reverse course?Eat MORE? On PURPOSE?Watch the number on the scale that I've spent years desperately trying to bring down start climbing again?And somehow trust that this time it'll magically make me look better instead of turning me back into the fat fuck I spent half my life trying to escape?I understand the logic of building muscle intellectually, but emotionally it feels like being told to walk straight back into a burning building I barely managed to crawl out of.I just can't get into it. Even the thought of deliberately gaining weight makes my stomach turn. How do you get past this?
>>77589811If you look soft and bulbous, you can probably stand to lose some more weight. Or try recomping firstIn any case you shouldn't be going more than 100-200 calories over your TDEE, so psychologically just treat it as eating maintenance + a little bit more protein than usual instead of "bulking" = time to pig out.
>>77589819>you can probably stand to lose some more weightYou're almost certainly right... back to it then>100-200 caloriesWait that's it? The way anons talk about bulking I somehow assumed it was 1000-2000 extra, not the equivalent of an extra sandwich
>>77589839>1000jesus no500 is fine with regular bulk cut cycles but if you're still kinda fat then doing some maingaining bullshit like with super small surplus like that anon said might work out for you

Fatty Contestyamiba169.4lbsweirdly the site didnt update last time, so i missed a week hm
is anyone else too fat to sit normal in computer chair. I need to recline.
Day 1I dun goof'd this week. No more thoAround 15 kg to lose
i was hungry for a snack so I had 3 scrambled eggs and some pickled red cabbage in a bowl, being on a deficit makes me commit absolute crimes against the culinary arts
>>77589973
>>77589929no but I had to buy a chair with the highest weight limit I could find(outside of those specifically for obese people they sell in murrica) because I kept breaking them after a couple years the ones at work are kinda tight but I still fit >>77589973pickles are good because they're strong in flavor and low calorie(if you get ones that don't have sugar in the brine) I bought a bunch of pickled onions, garlic, and cucumbers and I eat some when I'm feeling like a snack.
How do you deal with someone who is fat but doesnt want to listen to anything. My brother wants to diet, we are the same height he weighs about 230lbs and I weigh 170lbs. So im telling him about what I do to diet. Calculate my calorie goals, eating less than that, working out, etc. He has a list of excuses everytime>2000 calories is too little. Id get light headed>I cant not eat breakfast. I have to eat something>macros dont sit with me, I can eat protein but fats and carbs make me bloated>if I work out then it makes me hungryIs it even worth trying to convince him that hes wrong? Everything I say he says "I tried that and it didnt work". Makes me want to yell when ive lost weight, am continuing to lose weight, and he thinks the absolute basics dont apply to him. Meanwhile he eats chips, drinks diet soda like its water, and constantly tries to rationalize eating mcdonalds
>>77590044Spike his drinks with crystal meth or amphetamine to lower his apetite
>>77590044unfortunately your brother is a fat whore
>>77590065I literally suggested metamucel and he said it would curb his appetite and make him not eat. Which i told him, isnt that a good thing, to him replying it would make him hungrier and overeat the next meal>>77590066I think hes a lost cause. Hes been fat all his life except one year he managed to drop to 165 but he now says it was too unsustainable and he didnt enjoy losing weight by being super strict
>>77590044>Meanwhile he eats chips, and constantly tries to rationalize eating mcdonaldsjust have him quit those as a start.>drinks diet soda like its waterwhat's the problem? as long as he's drinking real water too, he's fine.>>77590097>I literally suggested metamucel and he said it would curb his appetite and make him not eat. Which i told him, isnt that a good thing, to him replying it would make him hungrier and overeat the next meallmao are you sure he wants to lose weight and it's not ypu pushing him? just leave him be until he actually wants to lose weight.
down to 75g, still got bit of belly fat. sad.
>>77590355Body dysmorphia or manlet?
>>77590363yes im 5'4''
>>77590363i am 185cm but idk
I am still not used to drowning in clothes that used to be fairly tight fitting on me.
I ate breakfast at ~8am, its now 1pm and I'm getting ready for lunch. So far no binges or extreme hunger. I know its nothing, but I'm still happy and a little proud of myself
are u guys locked into your diet now? I am almost done week 5 and it feels like cruise control now.
>Reta vials just arrivedSee ya later, suckers
Making a plan to indulge on Halloween weekend but it's so fucking hard. I want to make and eat so many things but the calories alone would fit an entire week of maintain just for 2 days over the weekend. I want to say fuck it and just go for it but at the same time I'm scared to death of losing my progress and spiraling. BUT I really want to get into the Halloween spirit at the same time and some tasty snacks would help :( What do?
>>77590471You can still get into the spirit without eating every last thing. You can have fun making the stuff and keeping them around, but moderate your intake.
>>77590471fast for the next 48 hours, then you can 3X eat
>>77590471Halve the amounts or choose half of the things to make
>>77590465What have you been eating? Anytime you've been doing to make it easier to adhere to?
>>77590520I am doing 1200 kcal/day keto.Each meal is basically a protein and a keto side. Like 8oz chicken breast and kale salad. Or 4oz steak and trail mix. Or like cashew butter and baked veggies.The meals are like $5 or under.
Down to 105.4kg from 115.5kg as of this morning... just cleaned up my diet and started lifting again. goal is ~80kg by summer. So far so good. i had to let go of beer and bread completely, because i cant control myself.
I think I did some good progress today, I’m happy. We’re all GMI!
>>77590465I was locked in for a month + but i allowed myself to get depressed and used it as an excuse to fall off the wagon for 6 days. I am 11 lbs up now.
>>77590572did you consider talking to a therapist about your eating disorder and how to manage it?
>>77590465I started a year ago, got about 9 months until I got frustrated at a big stall at 310 pounds in the middle of summer. I stopped and ate at maintenance (strictly, I didn't cut loose) for about three weeks, then got back at it. Now I'm down to 260.
gilbert's syndrome sucks
>>77590498>>77590511Thanks anons, I halved most of it and I'll come up to about 4,000 calorie deficit for the upcoming week with the weekend included IF I don't manage to fuck it up and pig out>>77590502I do it most of the time but still it'll be a big party that not even fasting could salvage if I go all out, which I don't want to and tried cutting almost everything in half
>want to get in shape>get an EDFML
>>77590618It's pretty depressing when you're oldfat and you go on a big successful diet and you're proud of yourself, but the diet is the final straw for your baldness
>>77590401I have a winter coat that was too tight to zip up last year and which I had to hike up over my stomach to be able to sit down without putting myself in a tourniquet and it now is like a sleeping bag
i think i can physically feel my muscles shrinking, especially in my right arm. its like tingling and my fingers feel numb at times
>>77590661is any "muscle sparing" weight loss without steroids/TRT even real
>Morning group hike got canceled because of weather>Can't spend time on rowing machine because of DOMS in thighs>pigged out on fast foodIt's over.
>>77590676maybe a nightmare keto diet where you only consume protein powder while lifting idk
>>77590692actually, would it be possible to die of rabbit starvation this way?
>>77590587 I've had one since the 90s. I am considered incurable at my age. It used to be full on bulimia. I should probably go back to purging seeing as i gained 11 lbs
>>77590676Low glycemic diets like keto or fasting preserve muscle mass.Muscle loss during weight loss is caused by eating carbs. Carbs raise insulin. Insulin blocks fat burning. When fat burning is blocked you lose muscle.
SylveonXGlaceon Day 44/500 of weight loss completeShe began drinking water with salt and potassium in it yesterday. It should help with fasting but really it's just making her poop straight liquid and very often, as well as often having to urinate. Maybe she'll get used to it. >>77590044It's difficult to lose weight for yourself and you have full control over your own actionsTrying to do so for someone else, someone you have less control over, is nearly impossible. They have to be the one that wants to lose weight and willing to make the sacrifices required otherwise it'll rarely go anywhere unless you have some kind of extreme power dynamic over them (typically parental though maybe spousal or work related) which offers you a lot of control over their life. Someone saying they want to lose weight doesn't do anything if they aren't willing to do what's necessary to achieve such goals. >>77588869VGHFineShe can use a name and trip. The posting habits stay however.It's just annoying to have the trip up because next time she posts if she forgets to clear the name field it'll stay filled and a random post on another random board will be forever attached to this tripY'all don't need to see her fetishes and her shitposts. They're both quite awful.>>77588911She merely desires attention but she can live without it. It's not strictly necessary. >>77588928The ability for others to ignore her is also a big part of why she posts like she does. with the name and trip it becomes easier to ignore her. She's okay with this however, filter evasion is a step too far from what she's okay with doing, so despite her dislike of other people being able to filter her she won't be doing anything to prevent them from doing so if they so wish. Filter evasion is a constant game of cat and mouse she doesn't feel like playing anyways.
>>77589372>decide to get a treat of ice crean>figure it'll be 500 calories>eat half>it's over 1000 for the containerdamn you ben and jerry
>>77590928A standard tub of walmart ice cream is a little over 2k calories. Eating a quarter of that, which fills up an entire bowl, every few weeks is close to 500. Fudge tracks is my favorite.
>>77590850We aren't mice though. I've cut on keto before and lost the most amount of muscle that I ever did. Definitely can lift more eating carbs.
I drink black tea as a hunger suppressantI eat fiber as a hunger suppressant.
I recently weighed myself and discovered that for the first time in maybe 25 years I am no longer in the obese category according to the BMI calculator. I started at 300 pounds about 13 months ago and constantly tweaked my diet and exercise to be healthier. My day job keeps me in shape but I want to get rid of the excess weight. Keep it up, it's very much a mental thing as well as a physical thing. 39 y/o, 230 pounds, 6'2".
>>77591063nice
>>77590946Post body.
>>77591148Right mogs you tho
>>77591180Yeah being fat is way better than being lean.
52 week timelapse is done.Next time I post a visual update is at goal weight.
>>77591247amazing progress but your hair looked best at the beginning. i think you need wider glasses too. yes i'm the same anon from the last time.
>>77591253Yeah I agree on the glasses, I've been struggling to find wide frames that actually stay on though because I have pretty small ears.I'm growing my hair back out again, it's black and slicked back right now to prepare for a Halloween costume I'm doing with my girlfriend.
>>77591266there are nose pads that sit lower on the nosehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-HvocXg9Qs&t=22
>>77591281Oh yeah everything the person in the video is talking about is what I deal with.Thanks, anon.
>>77591247Awesome. I wish I had done that with photos but I was too disgusted with myself to have the bravery for it. I was too pussy to even weigh myself until I'd visibly lost so much everyone I knew was pointing it out.
>>77591312Taking a picture each week has been one of the things that keeps me honest with myself. Some weeks there's not any noticeable change but I take it anyway.
>>77591247boston-kun.. ur on ur way to being too slim to post here
>>77591328no long american fat, but still european fat for now

Fatty contestwawawewa83.6kg
>>77591247i like the smiling photos more, start doing those again
>>77591464wheres the food..
>>77589811surplus needed to gain is so small it sorts itself out for me anyway. I never really "bulk", I either just cut or not. Keeping meals pretty similar helps too, I just add or remove refined carbs as needed.So I'd recommend not worrying too much about it for a while, just eat what you imagine is your maintenance and go hard in the gym.
>>77591247Damn, it's even more impressive in the timelapse. Great work Boston.
In a moment of weakness I bought tons of sweets worth easily 6,000kcal+I'm such a fucking retard
>>77591584Just eat them over the next month. That's only like 200 calories a day.
>>77591598Probably the best idea, I don't even crave them right now and they're just sitting in my pantry. I just started grabbing what I saw at the store like a tard kek
Fatty ContestGarrote77.5 kg
>>77591584do you guys not get bored of sweets? the older I get the less I care about themand all the sugar makes my teeth hurtI still like pastries and ice cream though
>>77591684Well I'm in my mid 20 and I still enjoy them, though I haven't had any sweets for over half a year by now so maybe that's why I gave in
>start gym>hire a female PT to help with learning exercises first couple weeks>second day she talks about her son for no apparent reason during a break between setsI guess this is her way of announcing "don't try your luck"
>>77591684Chocolate, pies, creamy pastries etc I could probably eat a shit ton. Sweets, I don't get either.
>>77591247Did you dye your hair at the end lol. Grow the beard backNice progress though, keep it up
>>77591783Yeah I’m doing a joint costume with my girlfriend and I hate wigs so I just dyed it black.
darn. I did not magically lose 100 pounds between Wednesday and Friday weigh ins.
>>77591841keto would make you lose that
>>77591842I am in keto. I need to get more chicken and beef today.
>>77591846You were probably within the vicinity of some carbs over the last two days and absorbed some through osmosis. Keep all carbs at least 15 feet away from your body to maximize ketosis, and you'll lose those 100 pounds by Monday.
>>77591851I ate a chocolate meal replacement with 35g of carb for breakfast.I am just going to eat meat and peanuts for rest of day.
Is it possible for me to go from 98kg to 85kg by next year? I have a bit over 2 months. I'm trying my hardest.I go to the gym 3-6 days a week and strength train.Should i walk or add cardio?Should i just eat less?Please help
>>77591912Perhaps if you don't eat at all and keep that gym routine, probably possible
>>77591912How long exactly is "a bit over". To accomplish that in 2 months you'd have to lose nearly a half pound a day. Not really doable.
>>77591912If you're short and thus relatively very fat it's possible. Eat 500 cals a day on average for the next two months. If you're tall no.
>>77591912it would take like a 1600kcal deficitso if you eat 1000kcal and go to the gym every single day you might about make it but you won't last two months of that without injuring yourself or giving up
Fatty Contesthitodenashi128.6lbs
>>77591917>Not really doable.It is if he wants it bad enough. I went from 95 to 83 in the span of 8 weeks.
Feel like me going from 72 kg and 67kg (aiming for 58-62kg) is going to get me into ED theory. I can't even eat at maintenance. Feeling nauseous but it's mostly psychological it seems

>>77591912>Is it possible for me to go from 98kg to 85kg by next year?Of course it is possible. Ultimately you need 1600 calories less than maintenance for 60 days to lose 28lbs/13kg.>I go to the gym 3-6 days a week and strength train.>Should i walk or add cardio?Strength training uses very little calories, almost none. So adding cardio is definitely a good choice.>Should i just eat less?Yes.>Please helpCalculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure or TDEE with an online calculator, try eating 1000 less than your maintenance calories and then walk at 3mph for 2 hours every day.It would also be ideal to lift and eat a lot of protein so you dont lose too much muscle mass.Honestly that seems a bit extreme, I suppose it is doable for some people, but if you try it and its too much then aiming for the end of January makes it a lot more doable, youd just need to reduce daily calories by ~1100 which is a lot more manageable.
Holding strong today, wanted to pig out but I think I can wait until tomorrow and go from there
>>77592062You must have something wrong mentally if you are yoyoing up and down such huge ammounts and based on your post you seem to have self esteem issues.Luckily you already lost the weight before and each time you gain it you dont gain as much, you can definitely lose it again.You will just need to be stricter with yourself to keep it off.Humans remain capable of adapting to exercise at all ages so you are never too old to be healthier.
>>77591912it might be possible but it won't be easy.I did 92,5 to 80 in 2 months. Caloriegoal of 1850 but most days were between 1200 and 1600. I had 4 days where I binged way over my calories but all other days pretty strict. I strive for at least 100g protein and 60g fats.8k steps a day minimum. Weightlifting 3 times a week. Swimming twice a week for at least 30 mins but most times 1 hour. Lost no power in the gym (some lifts even went slightly up) so muscle loss should be minimal.
>>77591934>58.332 kgYou're fat at that weight?

SylveonXGlaceon Day 45/500 completeShe ate very early today. It's not like it breaks anything, it's been 1 hour anytime during the day since the beginning. Technically this can make her fasts about as short as 48 hours or about as long as 94 hours but usually it bell curves such that her fasting length is within about 8 hours plus or minus of 72 hours. Had some trouble falling asleep. She'll try much harder this time. Also hopefully this trip works. >>77590465It's going pretty easy for me. 45 days of the same thing will kinda make it a habitShe feels like if you need to be "locked in" for your diet to work then it might not be the right diet. Ideally it should come easy to you after a few weeks. Unless you think you can stay "locked in" for however long it takes to lose the amount of weight you are aiming to lose (realistically impossible if it's for over two months or so) it might be better to do a less stressful diet.>>77590605Worst character. How did we go from Benny and Effie to this midgame junk?>>77590687Do you not have a hallway you can walk back and forth in? You don't need to be outside to walk.>>77590900Whoops Not sure why the tripcode didn't workLucky it was just random letters and numbers. Oh she used ! Instead of #Her bad she hasn't tripcoded in forever.Obviously she's using different letters and numbers now. Basically uncrackable unless you find 4chans salt (which happened when 4chan was hacked but they changed the salt afterwards) or spend thousands of years making posts with random tripcodes (due to the 1 minute cooldown on posting)Hopefully this works.Remember to add her to your filters if you don't wish to see her posts.

Fatty ContestPonponpon253lbsIt's been... longer than a week. not sure if this'll cheat the weekly score, but obviously I didn't lose 20lbs in a week
Ive realised I cant diet by eating normally but just eating less. I need my 'diet' programmed food to tell my brain we are not doing regular scheduled programming. This way all my body systems are on the same page and work together to get the job done.
>>77592062I don't mean to be mr. fasting pseudoscience but just try fasting. I don't have any physiological explanation for it but I think certain mentalities can handle it pretty well. Just don't eat for three days, then eat like 3K calories of healthy food for a day (whatever your chosen pseudoscience tells you is healthy; just count the calories - for me it's chicken, beans, and half and half in my coffee), then fast three days again. If that sends you into a tailspin of nausea and dizzies it's probably not for you, if you realize it didn't bother you much until the afternoon of the day threes you might have a good brain and organ setup for losing a lot of weight by fasting.
i think i'm getting myself back under control. >2 days of 1600>1 day of 2200>1 day of 1200wagmi

you never realize you're addicted to food until you try fasting

>fell for post coom hunger yet againat least i'm within my calorie limit>>77592909some anons do protein fasting PSMF
>>77592909Get a Flying Dutchman with onion and dont eat anything else for the day
>>77592676It depends on what you're doing. If you're doing accessories, then 3-5 minutes is a waste of time. But if you're doing top sets of squats, then you might need it - I rest for a similar amount of time. But if you feel like you're resting too long, then you probably are. Or more likely, you're just not lifting heavy enough weights. All that matters is that your rest periods are long enough that you're reasonably likely to make the same number of reps in your next set.>I dont see much resultIf you couldn't lift a weight last week and you can this week, then you're making progress. Not sure what else you're expecting.
Is working out on an "extreme" (~500-1000kcal) diet useless? I already feel like shit and have no energy most of the time, I can't imagine adding lifting to that
bought one of those debloat powders from the tiktok store and holy FUCK it tastes like shit, maybe it actually works

>>77592995people are advised to do diets they can stick to. if working out makes it too much, then don't.you might also think about going with a less extreme diet and working out or even just to not feel like shit.>>77593019rip in peace
>>77592995Working out is non negotiable.If you have to increase your calories a bit then so be it. Try a higher protein diet if you arent already.You dont want to be skinny fat forever and you dont want to have brittle bones when you are old.
caved in and got a 3x3 animal style. up to ~700 calories today when including my coffee.
I’ll be at an event with lots of junk to eat later today, I hope I won’t sabotage myself too much
>>77592287>SEP1Wait so you did it in 2 months? damn
>>77592676I rest until I feel ready or when a 3minute timer goes off. Minimum 60seconds though, if I feel ready earlier the set wasn't intense enough to count and gets written off as a warmup.
>>77591186Who is that lad on the right?
I checked and as of this month I've been failing for 20 years. I want to get off this ride.

>>77593289yeah day 61 today, been stuck on 84-83 for a week now so fingers crossed water weight is going to flush away soon and i get a new LW. for anyone interested i walk an average of 12k steps a day, full body lift 3x/week, 1h stairmaster 3x/week, 1500 to 1800 cals (with quite a few +2000 days), 3L water, 100g min protein, then i take creatine, omega 3, magnesium and vitamin d sounds like a lot written down but if you just go to the gym in the morning you get it all done early and can be lazy and fuck around the rest of the day
Fatty ContestGarrote77.2 kg
>>77593366i do most of these, other than stairmaster, my gym doesn't have that. I guess I'll just walk
>>77593313It's time to look into GLPs brother
>>77593385it's just intensive cardio, replace it with something that will get your heart pumping, incline walk at 15% will do just fine too. i know watches overestimate exercise calories but i dont stop until it says i burned 700.

>>77593453fanks fren, we both doing preddy well. it's nice to see others getting good results, motivation that its actually possible to get it done.the trick to the stairmaster is slow chill music to lower your heart rate and you get used to it pretty quickly desu.>would you recommend them?can't really tell you 100% if they work, but my lifts are improving, i sleep better at night and i almost never feel sore even training every day so i am sticking to the routine. creatine is supposedly the goat of supplements so i'd start with that one.
>>77593488>planned 20k calories>ate 4k calories at mostbe careful, fatty. you'll starve to death eating so little food.

>>77593678I did not poop for 4 or 5 days. I just had a round teaspoon each day.
Made cheesecake and some really fatty sauce with pasta, ate half of both and threw the other half away. Kinda proud of myself, 6 months ago that alone would be just an easy lunch for me.
>>77593686>made cheescake ... fatty ... pasta ... kinda proudNGMI
>>77593686I really haven't had any particular appetite changes after losing 180lbs. I can still wolf 7K of completely lean health food, as in chicken breasts and bean soup. Could probably eat 10-12K if peanut butter and cheese, and vokda, weren't cut out. All the "lifestyle change" shit where I'm just supposed to not have a fucked brain and physiology anymore never happened.

Fatty Contestbingingporkchop77.4kgNext week's weigh in is gonna be brutal... might take a week or two to work off this weekend
So, I started gym two weeks or so back. Following GZCLP.I had bit of scare a couple of days back. When I was at the hospital, I had my weights checked and I was shockingly at 79 Kg. I was at 77.2 before I started lifting. Was I being retarded with my diet? Idk but it bummed me out. Today I weighed myself again and I was at 77.9 kg which was a big relief. Both weighed in the evening . Still it's an increase from 2 weeks or so back. I thought I was eating at maintenence but Idk what went wrong. My cope is that it's water weight due to creatine consumption o algo. I will start using the treadmill on rest days just in case.
happy halloween /fat/
SylveonXGlaceon Day 46/500 of weight loss completeGot a bunch of Halloween candy. She'll probably be having one every day she eats for a few monthsTomorrow she'll begin walking a lot daily. By now it shouldn't cause too much stress that it causes me to give up. Besides exercise is good for her beyond just causing her to use extra calories.>>77593504Her body begins to break down when it gets above about 280 lbs. Aches and pains and rashes and constantly tired and out of breath. She doesn't know how people get to weights like 400 or 500 her body would completely break down by then, the highest she's ever gotten is like 320 and she began to develop at least two rashes. The thing is for her fasting is the only thing that has ever worked. You just have to remind yourself every day. Also it helps to slowly get yourself into fasting by starting with something like intermittent fasting or OMAD for a few weeks. Another thing is just say you'll fast, even if it's just here on /fit/. If you naturally want to avoid lying you'll continue fasting, though if you're a habitual liar this might not help you. For her she puts a lot of time and energy into these posts so to waste all of that by breaking the fast would be quite bad, and to again spiral up in weight would also be bad. She does this because she has no other good opinions. Plus the fat had been holding her back in many other ways in life for so many years. She just wants to put it all behind her. Also the dozens of suicidal atheists in this thread aren't going to like it but some of my strength comes from God. >>77593569If you ate 20k calories in a day your body wouldn't even be able to properly absorb all of that before it left your system. >>77593804The nothingburger of all time just dropped in Poland. It wasn't even big enough to start a civil war, much less war with any other country or a world war. /pol/ is the boy who cried wolf when it comes to WW3 everytime anything happens they sound the WW3 alarms.
>>77593839I've lost a lot of weight in a year and I got several-week-long measured stalls all the damn time, clearly from water, despite averaging over 10lbs a month lost over that time. And if I took a weigh-in at a random time of day I might be near 5kg heavier than when I measured it fully pissed and shit out in the morning. If you're tall especially you can't depend on getting a morale boost every time you look at the scale unless you have extremely regular electrolyte doctrine.
gonna work out, should I keep fasting after or get some korean fried chicken

Fatty Contest FairySchizo206.7 lbsShibuya for Halloween wasnt very fun. Not sure why I bothered since I didn’t plan to drink. Started going to the gym every week day after having a good time with a girl only for her to intentionally avoid me from there on. Such is the way

i feel like such a loser for giving into my impulses so easily

>>7759416250 lbs is a lot,did u take progresspics?
>12 am>900 calorieslike clockwork. the only upside is i managed to stay under 1600 calories for 4 of the past 5 days
>>77594104you need to be hydrated and have electrolytes if you are going to lift while hungry
>>77594041I ended up going to the korean fried chicken place and they wouldn't let you mix and match flavors on small orders so I ended up getting way more food than I was expecting (10pc wings when I came in only looking for 5) and because I had to wait there for 45 minutes to get my food (they were packed) they also gave me free cheese balls as an apology so now I have like 4,000 calories sitting in my counter

Recently did my blood tests. I am pretty obese I'd say, with around 31-32 BMI. My fasting and after breakfast blood sugar looks okay. But my triglycerides seem wayy too high. So, I'm back here after a long time of not exercising and dieting. How are you bros doing?
>>77594481Bros Gemini told me low blood sugar, paired with high BMI and high triglycerides is one of the earliest signs of diabetes. I do have a family history of diabetes but those usually showed up much later in life for them. The fact I am seeing those signs now is worrying.I saw one of my family members progressively degenerate from diabetes symptons, and she suffered a lot in her last years. I am absolutely offing myself if I get any hint of getting diabetes. Its more joever than I could've fathomed.
>>77594484You can reverse it with keto or you can keep eating bread and die
