Now im back to 200 and i dont know what to do, I feel like im a literal Jason Genova.

These last few weeks ive begun eating less to try drop back down again to the 160s.

I don't understand how I can gain the fat back so god damn easily, it literally takes no effort to gain the weight, but FUCK loads of effort to lose.


Pic related is me AS OF TODAY: im bout 195 pounds here, 5'7.

I am not happy with being 5'7 195, even though I still look fine. I just look insanely good in the low 160s due to how shredded I get at that weight.

I actually do feel a lot healthier at 160s then I do in 190s as well, my asthma pretty much goes away in the 160s, so it's not just aesthetic reasons.

I lost x lbs because i stopped eating as much as i did before.

>>37214157

I started mid October 2015 at 6' 270, smoking a pack a day and hating myself.

Eating better, lifting 3x a week and cardio 3x a week I'm down to 220 now. Seeing veins appear on my arms again and feeling stronger like I did when I played sports, good feels.

Weights are plateauing now and it gets tough sometimes after eating a deficit for this long. I'm going to keep cutting to 190 or 200 then recomp. I have a large frame and had okish lbm so I'm hoping I won't have to cut below 190 to look decent. We'll see!

Lost 16lb since March from 220lb at 5'8. Been doing at least an hours exercise a day by either progressive weight training or sled pulling. I still eat whatever I want but as I've got healthier what I've wanted to eat has changed to mainly meats, fruit and vegetables. This slower rate of loss is going well, I have so much energy.

i never understood that mentality.

how the fuck can you still consider yourself 'pure' after repeatedly getting a dick in the mouth. Granted, if she was super paranoid about pregnancy, which is legit -- then cool.

but rationalizing not having sex, but still sucking dick in terms of purity/religion is just fucking stupid.
>>
>>37215062
There were a few different reasons, Not wanting to get pregnant was a small one. Her parents and grandparents are really religious and are against birth control and aren't keen on the gynecologist either. She's not as religious and recognizes that that's all asinine, but still attends church (albeit a very progressive one that's all for the lgbtq community and such).

I've always just wrote it off as something her parents ingrained in her and wasn't worried about it.

Not gonna lie though, little nervous there might be psychological issues with sex later on

In conjunction with the strength gains, I think that's pretty good progress. I still have 70 more to go though.

>Lose 10kg for a boxing match
>Six pack. Everything is toned and nice. For the first time in my life I look good without a shirt on.
>Won my fight and decided to take a break from boxing

2 months later and I am 10kg heavier; my six pack is not visible as it's under a layer of fat and my face looks fat, my cheekbones are gone and nothing is toned. I hate myself.

I had a break with the intention of getting back in shape after; but I can't seem to diet like I could last time. I feel hungry 24/7 and I've tried everything; even eating high protein I can knock away 3000 calories of chicken and vegetables. I've upped my carb intake, lowered my carb intake, tried drinking more water, tried drinking less water, banned foods from my life but I still can't seem to eat under my goal calories.

I found it easy living off fish and vegetables for my fight; now I could eat 2000 calories of porridge in one sitting and be peckish about 30 minutes later.
>>
Here's a lesser story than everyone else's but it makes me happy.

I started trying to lose weight and get in shape for the first time a month ago. Since then I've lost about 5 lbs and learned, in just over a week, how to count calories and eat at a 500 kcal deficit (this is hardest part of losing weight imo).

Also, I feel like this is something that I can keep up for the rest of my life.

If you love to lift then lift, and maybe 1 or 2 times a week do some cardio

Age 27 Vidya playing Skinnyfat 150ish pounds, made fun of people who went to the gym, alt-tabbed between /b/ and WoW Battleground ques all day every day.

Mistakenly end up on /fit/ one day. What the fuck is a Zeez. Who is this Scooby, he can't cook for shit. Why and where does everyone want Jeff Side to go?? These idiots don't know anything about fitness, I learned in PE that you gotta run and do burpees to get muscles, everyone knows that.

Read sticky.

Fast forward two years of lurking, learning, fapping, lifting, and not a single minute of cardio.

Present day, chilling on balcony, made some gains, feel confident enough in myself and my body to post progress pics. People respond nicely for the most part, decide I'll try and stick around and share the leanings and mistakes I made along my way.

Kudos girl. Proud of you for publicly acknowledging/admitting the truth about your former views/mindset as well. Goes to show that we're only ever seeing part of the story when we see someone with a view that conflicts with our own. Not always matter of who's right or wrong, but understanding *why* they feel that way. Opinions evolve as we evolve ourselves, gotta give people time to sort themselves out instead of shoving change down their throat. Of course extrinsic reminders from others can help trigger that change, but as the old lady did for you, there's a supportive way to do that versus a hurtful and destructive way.

So in the past 4 months or so I've just ran my ass off and cleaned by diet up like crazy.

I'm 6'4. Eat extremely clean. Brown rice or potatoes for carbs with a little salt and butter. Mostly all fish and chicken breast for meat. Lots of veggies. Every single day. Doesn't even bother me. I got fat out of eating shit out of laziness of not wanting to cook.

Thanks man. The fact that she was so kind and honestly wanted me to be a better version of myself hit a nerve that i didnt even knew i had, and saying 'wow, i was so wrong' was probably as difficult as it was to actually get my shit together.

The sad thing is, i know what goes on in the minds of the HAES crowd and it mostly is trying to find a reason to wake up in the morning because they honestly think they'll never make it, that they will stay that way the rest of their life. I've been there, and its sad.

This isn't my first time getting /fit/. After college I lost about 40 lbs and started doing triathlons. I accomplished my goal of completing a half-ironman and was feeling pretty good.

Then some personal stuff happened (death in the family, changed jobs, moved cities, relationship ended) and fitness started taking a backseat. I ballooned up to 265lbs at 6'0" in August 2015. I was tired of being disgusted with myself and wanted to get back to where I was. Easter 2016 I was 225 lbs and today I'm at 212. Progress has been kinda slow, but it feels good to see the numbers on the scale go down and I don't feel like a waste of life anymore

But we persevere regardless, save up the money, lift weights and get the surgery eventually.
