Former Fat asses of /fit/ post your body's and what being a fatty has done to them. Fat fucks who are trying to drop weight may join in and post as well.
>How long has it taken you to get rid of the weight?
I dropped 100 pounds this year and as you can tell my body is fucked up from it.
>How long were you fat for, why did you get that way?
For me I've been a fatty throught child hood. My parents never really cared and feed me whatever and I didn't know any better. Ballooned up to 290
In highschool playing football. Once I graduated I found /fit/ and started working out and dropping the weight. Following a strength routine.
>Current age, weight and hight and how long you've been lifting.
Just turned 20 years old
195 pounds as of this morning
And I'm 6'4
Been lifting for about a year following proper "nutrition" and a routine
>What do you plan on doing to try to help with the problems you're facing now?
Well I plan on cutting till New Years then maintaining my calories for a month or so and "lean bulk" so I can hopefully pack on some muscle and help fill out my nasty loose skin. Then cut and rinse and repeat. Granted I know I still have fat to get rid of but I'm going to put on some muscle first since I've been dropping weight for so long. And hopefully I'll look better when I decide to cut in the future.
I know my lower stomach is nasty as fuck but I pulled them down lower so you Guys can see how fucked it looks. But if I wear then normal you can't even tell I was a fatty
As a fellow former obese/cut 100lb+/loose skin/mediocre physique dude I warn you that the weight comes back on fast
>>35403194
I'm sure it does bro that's why Imma "lean bulk" so pretty much keep my same diet but just ass 1/2 scoop of oats.. I'm scared to get fat again bro
>>35403153
sorry for your insanely wide hip bones
>>35403153
Great job and progression in just one year. Well done. Be proud of yourself.
And when it comes to the lose skin, as a grill I can say that your situation isn't bad at all. You've got nice muscles and you are tall, so don't you sweat too much about that little detail. I assume that you live in the States and most people aren't even in that good shape that you are right now. I live in Europe, and with that physic you'd be in a better shape than an average dude, a bit lose skin or not.
And you are young so chances are that it'll get better, especially as your muscles grow. And forget about what he said >>35403326 in a sense of what comes to femails, average chicks doesn't notice such stuff nor they really know what's ideal in bodybuilding and what not. Most girls really just care about your height, shoulders, abs and biceps.
Worth mentioning that I'm fit and I've never been fat either.
>>35403326
Hahaha I know bro I guess I'll just go fridge mode. I'm going to really focus on my lats and shoulders when I decide to bulk and try to fill out my 6'4 Frame

I know my skin isn't that big of an issue.. I've been with girls and they didn't even say anything or ask about it. I'm just really self conscious Coming from a fatty And in my mind I'm still that fat fuck. Also truthfully the bathroom lighting makes it looks way worse than it is. And I could care less about my hips it's not like I'm going into competition for body building or anything so it's Meh. But thanks it means a lot even if you're really not a girl lol
Bump a rooooo
>>35403429

>>35404596

I'm bulking again, back up to 195, still have the outline of abs.
That pic is from end of July.
Gonna do an 8 week cut in a month and take some more pics
>>35403153
>body not fuckd
>just keep working and getting healthier
>it will get better, trust me
>>35404574
Nice !
>>35404574
Damn bro nice
Wanna go I to further detail on what you did and how long it took? I'm sorta scared to bulk
>>35404631
I plan on it anon..
>>35404623
really great work
i started skinny fat and have been working out 18 months and dont look anywhere near as good as your final pic yet, i look closer to your pic at 200ish
you look like you had some solid mass at the start though, so I guess that helped
fuck you GOMAD for making me fat as fuck and having to waste months cutting down
you have any measurements for your final pic? arms, chest, thighs?
>>35404688
so like >>35404623
that has the rough time line.
always have done P/P/L, auto regulated. so compound (pendlay row, bench, press, squat, dl) in some rep scheme. between 3-8 rep scheme, lower when bulking, higher when cutting. then accessories, when i cut i dont max, just train to failure and try and not lose too much strength, do more accessories though and lower rest times.
as for diet, recomped i just counted cals and protein, was like 3k cals 200 grams of protein.
first cut i did higher carb low fat(bad idea) and around 220 grams of protein, ate 2750 cals. Bulked on high carb, lowish fat(sorta useless and made macro portioning hard, got bored of pasta)
Last cut, ate 3350 cals but did between 700-1000 cals of cardio a day, prob round 260 grams of protein(for satiety not muscle building), high fat, and low carb(for me, still like 200 grams, and all around workouts).
Anything else you wanna know?
>>35404710
No lol, I dont measure
here is a more recent pic from a couple weeks ago.
I've basically added about 50 pounds to my Dl, 100 pounds to my squat, and 50 pounds to my bench this cut(bench gains came from some cue changes and 30 of those within the last 2 weeks)
>>35404792
sorry this bulk,
also for nutrition this bulk i started on high carb low fat(theres some science to this for initial stages of a bulk i dont feel like explaining) then lowered carbs and upped fat, from like 80 grams to maybe like 10, and carbs from around 700g to 550.
Eating like 180-200 grams of protein and around 3750-4k cals daily. Although I've sorta started a mini cut since i took that last pic, because bulking is too hard at home(back for winter break).
Current weight is 192 at 6'1" highest weight was 265. I dropped 30 lbs. from last August to October then held that until the end of this past June. Got down to current weight by about mid-September and decided to stay here for awhile and put on some muscle and so I had the energy for cross-country. I feel and look like such a fat piece of shit, I hadn't been able to run for the past 2 months due to a knee injury and now that I can I have no motivation and i struggle with eating little enough just to maintain. The weight had been falling off but I am always hungry now and I lost the willpower not to stuff my face. Can someone please tell me we are all gonna make it.
>>35404792
>>35404710
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIl1VFkyr0o here is about a month old vid of me benching? ironically can see my legs here.
I'd like to add that im aware how bad this bench looks and have fixed a ton of stuff(way over tucked, elbows not straight) since then and can now bench that raw(and added 35 to my slingshot bench)
anyway ill answer questions but ill stop turning this into a personal blog.
>>35404792
how the fuck do you add 30lbs to your bench in 2 weeks while on a cut
ive not even added 30lbs to my bench for the whole year
>>35404979
sorry i meant to say im bulking right now.
as for the increase, if you watch that video i posted, I'm way over tucked. I'm not flaring my elbows out, and overtucking them means I wasn't forming a 90 degree angle from elbow to pec and that my forearms weren't vertical.
Fixing that alone has added the 30 pounds just in the last 2 weeks, I've PRed every workout since I fixed it. In fact I PRed twice today, I figure ill be benching 3 plate within the next 3 weeks.
26 years old, 5'10" and 151 pounds in these pics. i was 210 pounds last december. was 255 pounds in high school.
need to keep cutting. my love handles are thighs are horrible. man tits and stomach are getting better, though.
>>35405036
I think you should bulk man. I'm>>35404574
If you were to cut even another 3% bf, which would suck, youd still look the same in clothes.
Who cares what you look like naked at the moment.
Bulk, I know thats scary but do it with the same focus and control you do with cutting.
Then cut again, and youll be juicy.
>>35405021
i shouldnt overtuck, right?
im 99% sure i undertuck, my elbows are further away from my body than my wrists
dont really know how to get my arms to form that 90 degree angle, because as soon as I put any considerable weight on the bar they start to flare
>>35405036
Man dont cut anymore or you'll go straight to Auschwitz mode those flabs arent fat you've just lost 100lb its just loose skin. Slight caloric surplus and training would be the best at this point. You'll get muscle to "fill" that loose skin and look more ripped than if u were to cut more. Great job on losing weight though.
>>35404623
mirin dem gainz brah
>>35405132
those flabs are definitely fat, trust me. i want to bulk but i can't stand for my love handles to get any worse. they're just now starting to get acceptable. when i was 170 pounds they were fucking disgusting.
No recent/good pics... but Ive gone from about 275ish to 205 in about a year, 6'1. Now Ive been at a stall for quite a while, and depression is kicking in. I have a feeling I'm not going to make it
>>35405202
Fine 265ish to...
>>35403194
What does this mean? Comes back on fast if you abandon your healthy ways and start eating like a fat fuck again? No shit you retard.
>>35405202
>>35405289
2 weeks ago.
I look like shit shirt off, but atleast now anytime I get carded I get a 5 minute conversation reminding me how I'm not AS fat anymore.
Former Planet, recovering fatty here. 6'4"
Was pushing 450lbs at 20 y.o. Currently 285ish at 23 y.o.
>How long has it taken you to get rid of the weight?
Currently at 2.5 years. Almost 8 months of which was me fucking up. Realistically 1 year amd 8 or so months
>How long were you fat for, why did you get that way?
Since Sophomore year in highschool. Always chubby as a kid but highschool is where I ballooned. Won't get into too much but at a younger age (15ish) I was forced to grow up quickly due to certain family and home problems. Was the acting "parent figure" for my younger sister for a while. Drugs and alcohol were part of the reason for family woes so I never turned to them for stress relief. I turned to comfort eating.
>Current age, weight and hight and how long you've been lifting.
Not an ameuter nor a pro for lifting. Maybe 2 years accumulative lifting experience. Not currently lifting, dieting only to the tune of roughly 2-2.5lbs loss a week. 23 years old now. Didnt start truly trying to lose until I was 20 almost 21. Family problems worked themselves out and everything got better at home, but I didnt get better. I'd be dead by my own hand by now if I didnt start losing and changing.
>What do you plan on doing to try to help with the problems you're facing now?
Stick to my diet like I have a gun to my head. Continue my weight loss. No cheat days because that leads to cheat day(s) back to back. Maybe start to like myself and not want to throw something at the mirror every morning.
I eat around 100 calories a day and drink 4L (154ish oz) a day of water. In that 1000 calories is about 120g protien. Sometimes I have to cheat a little to not get dizzy so I might have as muchvas 1150 calories.
Any tips and tricks are welcome from those like me.
>>35405089
So the the degree you should tuck corresponds to how long your humerus is in relation to your forearms. Basically you want to tuck as much as possible(tucking is safer) but only to the point where when the bench is at your chest, you have totally vertical forearms and your elbows are under the bar, this requires a degree of flare.
You have to basically play with a combination of tucking versus flare, where you bring the bench, the more you tuck the lower on your body youll have to touch the bench to achieve the above(without going too low).
It all just corresponds to your bone length and how much arch you want.
Basically i finally found my optimal position, so ive added tons of strength.
>>35405202
Don't do it man. I went from 275 to 210, then 3 years later I was 275 again. Made me want to kill myself.
I'm currently sitting at 230 trying to lose the weight, do not make the mistake that I did. It isn't worth it. Depression will only get worse.
>>35405497
Idk mang, I hate this feeling of being hungry all the time. Of having to lose literally all of my gains to get rid of this belly fat /love handles. I hate all this work I'm doing for nothing in return. I just want to go back into neckbeard hermit mode, and die
>>35405331
I wanna know what this means, too.
I dont plan to eat the way I was when I was fat ( my stomach literally cannot handle that volume of food anymore).
My surplus after cutting is gonna be made primarily of fruits/nuts/oils
>>35405289
>>35405358
Dem face gainz doe
I am 6'1" 280
What should I do to get /fit/ and make gains by this time next year? Yes Ive read the sticky. I am just wondering what worked for some of you guys
>>35405814
Read the sticky again
>>35405629
Same here
I am skinnyfat mode after losing 80 lbs and i am always hungry
Knowing that i need to spend a other uear busting my ass just for minimal gains makes me want to die
>>35405814
>Yes Ive read the sticky.
Now implement the advice in the sticky
>>35406319
Theres not only one way of doing things which is why I asked for information
>>35406465
yes there is.
the sticky.
>>35406465
top tips are to
1) Do Intermittent Fasting.
2) Do Intermittent Fasting
3) not lift too heavy, fuck the whole 5x5 bullshit, aim for 8-12. i find the workouts more satisfying and with better form i feel it much more in the muscles
4) Do Intermittent Fasting
>>35406585
Thanks
>>35405808
Thanks. Looks better without shit tier beard... but then I look 18 instead of 28. Still hasn't made grills like me :/
>>35405814
Ec stack. Cardio. Both at the same time if you can handle it/ accept natural selection weeding you out.
>>35405358
>>35405289
I did that eatting 3k+ a day fast food(full fucking pizzas and carne asad fries). Drink tons of water, watch shit on YouTube and bust out 1 hour twice a day on your choice of cardio equipment.
>>35403153
>42.5kg down
started at 114kg, 6'1 at the start of the year
first pic was taken after i got to ~105kg
Started lifting after the 3rd photo, August.
Last photo was taken after the day after Christmas dinner.
fwiw I'm starting my bulk in a few weeks, done with cutting as I look really small in clothes.
>>35405358
seriously mirin your hairline/facial aesthetics.
>>35406955
Good job bro keep it up.
6'4"
260->193 (today)
Want to get to 10% BF, my guess is that I am really close to 15% right now, so about 10 more lbs to go.
Started 1/1/15, so in a year I have lost 67lbs
>>35407339
Damn bro nice... I'm op and man you got luck with the skin huh.. I got loose skin but truthfully the bathroom lighting makes it looks worse than it is.
>dropped 50lbs
>got a gf
>first regular sex since about 4 years
>one day, fucking her doggy style
>happen to look down and see my loose gut billowing in the wind
>boner is kill
>she thought it was somehow her fault
Bad feels.
Tell me the skin goes back to normal eventually, lads.
>>35407530
Fuck bro I know that feel
I'm >>35407488
>>35403153
>tfw fucking girl doggie
>tfw flip her in her back and climb ontop
>tfw look down and see my fat loose gut hanging
>grab her and make her get ontop
I love being on top so much yet I hate that feeling of the loose skin. Girls don't seem to mind it tho
>>35407488
Thanks, and grats on the 100lbs.
I can't wait to stop eating at a deficit but, getting this fat off is more important than weight room gains.
>>35403153
>How long
lost 60-70lbs over the course of about half a year, give or take. Not exactly sure how bad I was when I started, and I also did some bullshit "working out" before I really got serious (although I think the bullshit did help marginally, just because I was such a fatasfatass)
>How long
Got chubby in middle school, fat in HS, back down to chubby when I did XC, then just gained weight until senior year of college. Basically maintained first semester senior year, and then started actually losing weight second semester until now.
>current stats
23 yo
155-160lbs now
12ish% body fat?
5'7" manlet
Been lifting for a little less than a year now
>what do you plan on doing
cutting until ~8% body fat and then lean bulking until probably about where I am now. Probably going to be way too hard to cut to that level, but I want to be sure that there's a nice amount of buffer to bulk, I'm terrified of getting fat again. Being fat is the worst thing in the world.
Ignore the caption on the last set of pics, they were taken a few months ago. If the thread is still around when I get up, maybe I'll snap some pics of how I look now.
>>35407683
(also, the first pics aren't me at my worst, that's after a [maybe 2?] month[s] of seriously dieting/lifting)
>>35407656
Yeah I know bro.. I'm sorta scared to bulk I don't wanna get fat again and thank you
>>35407683
I'm op
And I feel you on getting fat again.. Like I should really drop more weight and get to a lower bf% but I've been cutting for so long.. Plus it will be easier if I have more muscle mass.. I plan on "lean bulking" till April then cutting back down for summer.
But congrats on the weight loss bro.
>>35407812
you too man, we're all gonna make it
also what's the deal with all the former fatasses having fucking stupidly wide hips it's awful and I hate it about myself
>tfw got down from 300 to 270
>been stuck at 270 but have been more rigorous about my diet and down to 265.
some day.
>>35407865
Lmfao I don't know bro I've always wondered this as well... I'm just assuming it's cuz I'm 6'4.
