Anyone else a recovering fatso?
Currently unweighable as scale only goes to 400 lbs. 5' 11" age 34
Holy shit
Why
JUST
plenty of people are 'that big' but not a lot on this board. Start hitting the gym and read the sticky mr F for fedora
Just start working out.
Read the sticky.
I was fat once.
Now I am not.
>>34991309
SS+GOMAD u can thank me later OP
/b/ in a nutshell
>>34991309
when you're that big dieting is easy as fuck
just eat whatever you want and keep a deficit and you'll easily lose 100 pounds
>>34991309
ss+gomad
>>34991359
Don't fall for this troll OP.
GOMAD is a retarded way for skinny guys to gain weight.
>>34991359
I wish people like you would die.
>>34991359
>>34991309
nice tits bro. if i had tits like this i'd stay at home all day to play with them.
ignore all the haters and trolls trying fuck with you, the fastest way for you to get fit is ss+gomad
There is literally a dancing dinosaur begging to teach you everything about fitness.
How did you miss it?
The calorie thing says I should eat 5000 calories a day to lose weight.
Seem right to you guys?
>>34991309
Recovering fatso here. Good for you to start the /fit/ journey. Never been your size though.
If the weight is hard on your joints I recommend swimming as a start. you can gain muscle and burn calories without killing joints and tendons.
What is your current diet?
>>34991381
>at least I got a foundation now
oh my fuck
>>34991411
It's the /b/tards, what you expected?
>>34991309
Ready the sticky.
You can do SS if you want. Just don't do GOMAD unless you're retarded enough to think drinking a fucking gallon isn't going to make you fatter and look like shit even if (and that's a big if) you manage to gain some muscle.
If you are so fucking lazy you cannot read the sticky, do a 500cal deficit (or just search up Scooby's calculator and use the value you'll get there). Download the MyFitnessPal app to help you count. Also eat clean, or at least try to fit you macros as well. No need to be too religious about it though.
>>34991424
Dude that's a lot, a normal adult eats like 2000 calories a day, if you want to lose weight don't go over that.
GOMAD is for gaining weight and a lot of beginners get trolled by it.
Don't do weight training until you're down to about 300-350, your joints will thank you.
Do light cardio or swim if you want more and focus on your diet for now.
>>34991426
Current diet is mostly fruits and veg, beans and tuna.
Removed processed foods.
Trying to change my life, anon.
>>34991452
Swimming is a good shout, Don't try fucking running, at your size you will fuck your knees.
>>34991390
I used to play with them a lot. Got bored of it.
Still like my nipples pinched.
>>34991484
By light cardio I meant walking.
>>34991309
It's not too late man.
You should aim for a slow weight loss, like over 2 years.
Diet obviously needs to be fixed, and it won't be easy, just like someone that decides to stop smoking, you're gonna get cravings.
Just like quitting any addiction, you need to take it one day at a time and focus on the positive positive side-effects you will experience (looking better, more stamina, more agility, etc...)
Read the sticky and good luck anon
PS: if it's processed food, it's bad for you. Water is the only thing you should drink. I would also recommend you to join a gym and focus on weightlifting instead of cardio for now.
As a former fatass, I can tell you it will be the best decision you will ever make in your life. You simply need to stay consistant and make it a lifestyle
JUST
>>34991536
2 years? Ain't got time for this shit bro. I'm out.
>>34991454
Don't fall for the fruit meme, though. Some is great for you (keep eating), but in excess they are sugars as well.
>>34991583
well shit you're over 400 pounds bro...
if you lose 2 pounds each week for 2 years, that's 200lbs.
You could do it in one year or less but you're gonna have extra skin all over
>>34991309
just how? i started lifting and eating in january at 170 and have only made it to barely 200 and i've been puking in my sleep from eating so much. i haven't been able to gain a pound in a month.
>>34991536
You sound sincere.
Thank you.
>>34991583
It's more than likely going to be a good deal longer than that.
I don't believe you are OP though.
At least I hope not.
>>34991309
Not far off man. 5'11, 345lbs.
Youve made a good decision to get fit. Unfortunately I've just made that decision for the third time. First two times I got down to around 220-230, and ended up back where I started.
It's hard work, but you will feel better, and it will be worth it.
>>34991583
Not op.
Holy hell, i used to be skinny then i got fat by eating hot cheetos and mcdonalds every day during puberty. went from 140 at 14 to 240 at 18. can i become a skinnyfag again? btw im 6 foot
>>34991696
Op here. I'm thinking 5 years from now I'll look back and I'll be happy I started and never gave up.
>>34991536
what was your max weight?
>>34991766
Highest recorded was on a freight scale at 441 lbs
>>34991766
not as much as OP... 5'11 270 I think
>>34991774
do you have a lot of stretch marks?
also congrats bro
>>34991309
ex/b/tard here, used to weight 115 kg, now im 90 kg, read the sticky
>>34991785
Stretch marks all over the place.
>>34991765
You'll start to feel happy a long time before then. The empowerment of losing weight and gaining strength is liberating in itself.
>>34991808
do you hate it?
Alright. So I used to be a tub of fat as well. Biggest was 350 lbs at 6'3". I took the extreme root after I had some soul searching and decided I was done being a fat cunt. I went on 100 kcal per day for 45 days straight. Pretty much one scoop of the big P per day. (DON'T DO THIS!!!!) Lost 65 lbs in 45 days. Then since my stomach was so fucking small, it was impossible to shovel the ammount of liquid shit into my mouth that I had been previously eating. I lost 50 more lbs just doing nothing. Then I started the original P90 and dropped the rest of the weight over a few months. I lost 150 lbs in a year. It was easy for me to do, but people have said that I was really stupid for doing it that way. And I was. Do it the right way, by counting calories and busting your fat disgusting ass. Don't give up Jabba. You can do it. We believe in you.
>>34991765
Learn to love the journey, it's more important than the destination.
One day you'll be under 200lbs, but your eye should be on the next 10.
>>34991828
I'm at peace with who I am. It's all a result of who I was and the choices I made.
Cool thing is I'm making better choices so I can be a better man tomorrow.
>>34991846
it's not all bad, if someone asks you about it and you telll them you used to weigh 440lbs they won't think you are vain. And they will generally have respect for you, not everybody can come back from this.
>>34991846
How much do you weigh now bro?
I went 325lbs to 230 to 365 to 250 to 365 over 8 years. Skin is fucked.
>>34991837
Oh, and don't take a "break" once you hit your number. If you do, set a date on the calendar that'll allow you to start working out and dieting properly. This is not a one time deal. This is a lifestyle change. No fad diet will help. Only grit.
>>34991905
Yeah I'm guessing I'm gonna have a lot of excess skin ... surgery to get rid of it if it becomes a problem.
>>34991931
Excess skin is a myth nigga. Keep working out. It's subcutaneous fat deposits. Unless you're in your 40's, your skin should be able to come back eventually as long as you really work at it. That or my skin is godlike.
>>34991952
>a myth
You think this is going to spring back to how it was intended to be?
>>34991952
it is not a myth but it depends on certain factors
>how long you have been overweight
>how much weight you drop
>genetics
someone that was overweight only for 1-3years has way better chances of not having a lot of excess skin compared to someone who has been at that weight for 10years or so. Assuming they drop the same amount of weight.
>>34991309
You can loose it, but don't do it quickly or you'll be a skin bag (i.e. your skin won't keep up with your weight loss and you'll be posting on here in a year for advice about surgery to fix it). Little by little, my dear.
PS: lesen Sie die klebrige.
if you're fat you're used to eating a lot volume wise and calorie wise, to help you unfat yourself and reduce cravings for more food you can trick your stomach with low calorie high volume foods like cucumbers and celery for example, as an added bonus they are also high fiber and will make your colon plus anus work excellently, the trick is when you make a salad of them not to fuck up by putting too many calories in the sauce so really watch what you put in there
>>34992115
and of course the sliced cucumber salad with a yogurt + mustard sauce IS a meal in it entirety, eating "healthy food" doesn't help if you keep eating too much
>34 years old
>/b/, a board filled with literal teenagers
>owns that fucking ridiculous mask
>looks like that
how can you go so wrong in life
>>34992174
at least hes changing asshole
>>34991964
those are usually those gastric bypass fags who lose 200+ lbs in a few months
of course they're going to have extra skin
>>34991964
>>34991968
Mine sprang back. I'm this guy:
>>34991837
>>34992893
I was that size for 10 years and dropped 150 in 1 year. My skin is fine. I'm on a cut right now, but I'll be bulking later on. Gotta get them gains bruh.
>>34992724
This exactly. Gastric bypass is bullshit. It's dangerous and unnecessary. Course if you want to fuck your life apart then bmg.
Remove the carbs, Scotty W.
Sincerly, Quack.
Take it easy and one step at a time.
Don't let the bad days discourage you.
Don't listen to those faggots anon. Go for a low fat, high carb plant-based diet. Easy weight loss. E A S Y.
Carbs won't get you fat, fat will get you fat. And protein is just a meme, you only need around 50g a day. Carb up, anon.
>>34991309
Is this you?
I was 6'3 350lb when I was 21. Was a football player my entire life. Didn't get into any colleges after I graduated and kept eating like an athlete without working out. I'm 22 now and down to 260lb after cutting back on portions and drinking nothing but water.
>>34993145
No. I'm a bit better at life than him.
>>34991309
>finally understand fitness is important part of my journey
Every fat fuck gets a sudden burst of motivation at one point. The vast majority go back to shoveling shit down their throats after losing a few pounds. The odds of you going down to an acceptable weight let alone becoming fuckable are slim. Either way I'm rooting for you. Just don't take that as some kind of congratulations for realizing you're fat. It's a hard truth but remember that you haven't done shit until you've reached your goal
>>34991583
tbqh family, loose skin is damn near inevitable at 400lbs
>>34993096
>Macronutrients being a meme
>Following one of the most memetic diets of the 21st century
>>34991309
>That belly button
>>34991309
What is currently helping me the most is using a kitchen scale to weight every single thing I eat. Been eating mostly chicken breast with a whole spaghetti (or something like that, I don't know how it's called, but it's full of fiber and very low in calories compared to common kind). Between the fiber and water, it's not even being that hard to stay at low calory intakes.
Oh yeah, and water. I was a weird kind of fat in that I hated sugar, mostly. Pretty much all of my sugar intake was sodas, which I have cut completely now. At first I was trying to restrict sodas to sundays, but I started noticing that 1) it's not even that good, 2) drinking it makes me immediately hungry as fuck even if I just ate a lot and 3) it took multiple days for the hunger to go away after drinking it.
Sugar is poison, drink pure water and nothing else. You can also use popcorns (with little or no oil) to kill your hunger if you absolutely can't hold back any longer. It's not ideal, but if you're up against either 30g of popcorns or a lot of food, popcorn is better.
>>34991309
Is this the fatty limit?
