Hey guys! Been lurking here for a while.
So here's my situation, if anyone cares.
Been kind of heavy all my life, haven't been under 200 since sophomore year in high school.
22 now, 6 foot 235..
About three months ago my girlfriend of four years and I split up. Started eating really bad, smoking two packs a day, drugs, alcohol etc.. life kind of spun out of control. About a month ago I decided enough was enough and decided to dedicate every day to looking and feeling better.
Quit smoking, cocaine, weed, and only drink small amounts on weekends with friends.
Began eating better a few weeks ago. Chicken breasts, greens, pretty much paleo Diet. Only drinking water etc.
I started running every day and lifting weights I feel great.
I guess i just have some questions for anons who've maybe been in a similar situation.
1. Can anyone refer me to a site our app that can help me with weight loss, calorie counter, calculators etc? Something to help me along the way.
2. It seems like every time I research vitamin supplements some site is trying to sell me something. Is there any supplement, that along with good diet and exercise, can assist with weight loss? I've been taking stacker 2 and that really helps me curve my appetite.
3. I guess my last question, how do you all stay motivated to keep moving up the ladder? I won't lie, there's some days where all I can think about is her and get depressed and the thought of getting out of bed, let alone working out, seems impossible.
Be harsh if need be I don't mind just thought I'd ask you anonns for advice because i just want to be better.
Also General inspiration thread i guess.
Shameless bump

1 - Myfitnesspal
2 - Caffeine and nicotine, most supplements are bullshit
3 - JUST DO IT

I just quit smoking why nicotine..
>>34959558
Suppresses appetite. You shouldn't smoke though.
You shouldn't even need a supplement to assist with weight loss. The supplement industry makes you think there is a pill for everything, but there isn't. People buy all kinds of shit for "quick and easy" results, so they make loads of money by making snakeoil products.

2. green tea
>>34959609
I think the only thing that's really helped me with cravings is that stacker stuff. Maybe it's just the caffeine in them who knows. But I really don't want to use nicotine again because I know I'll want to smoke. I've heard green tea extract can help? B.s. or?
>>34959629
Any experience with it anon?
>>34959648
I drink a cup of it on a daily basis for a couple of weeks now, don't really know if it helps with fat loss yet. worth a try tho

Discipline yourself and create a routine. After a few weeks of doing the same thing it will be natural and you'll want to do it.
You are the sole person responsible for your future. You and you alone need to justify your decisions, actions and only you need to deal with the consequences. If you cheat and skip a workout because you were feeling lazy or have a chocolate bar because you were craving one then you have failed yourself. The stronger you are in your day to day life the stronger you will be when dealing with hardships. Never wish for a lighter burden, instead work towards broader shoulders.
Also, is there a site or app that can help me develop a detailed workout plan that any of you have used?

Very good post
Op here, If anyone is still in this thread, my breakfast consists of eggs and fruit. Is there any fruit that I should be eating over other? Usually Apples and oranges for me. Is there a better alternative breakfast for weight loss?
>>34960957
Vitamin C fruit is god tier.
>>34960989
Nice I'll keep that in mind. You guys think that's a good breakfast for weight loss? Usually two eggs, an Apple and a huge glass of water before I go on my morning run.

I've read multiple articles saying that oats and avocados are good, but wouldn't that be ideal for weight gain not loss?
