I've been eating 3000 calories a day and going to the gym 3 times a week since April 11. When I started I weighed 125lbs. I now weigh 150 and my chest and arms are filling out. My goal is to bulk up to 200ish over the fall/winter/spring and then cut down to 180 next summer.
I've been bouldering and doing supplement chest/shoulder/core/leg workouts.

I hate the way muscle looks, I'd rather not have any at all really. I try to avoid gaining muscle and only work out just enough to keep losing weight.

>>24026356
I carry 100% of it in the gut and thigh. I look like I'm 3 months pregnant if you see me from the side. That's why Id rather be a little underweight to even it out. I'll take the slight health risk in order to not be seen as obese just because my fat distribution is fucked.
>>24026389
well damn.
>>24026391
That isn't a picture of me anyways lol. That's what I wished I looked like.
>>24026389
Good point, I knew a girl who was almost 140 and I figured she was lower because she just didn't look it. And what do you mean by Midwestish
>>24026456
Like, my sister was 100 lbs in high school and she still had a gut, so who knows if I'll ever not look disgusting. Body type just sucks ass. I'd trade the hourglass hips and tits a million times over just to be a rectangle. I'm slowly learning to accept what I can't change, but it's a challenge. I'm starting to accept my thighs will always touch due to my hip shape and the fact I retain muscle so well there. Right now I'm just going to keep dropping until the guts gone at least, or until I hit 100, in which case I'll give up (andprobablyanherocough).
I'm technically classified as midwest but I'm on the edge. That's as far as I care to disclose.

AFAIK swimming builds muscle quite effectively so you might want to cut down if you do it very often.

>>24026547
Since I've been home for the summer I haven't swam at all, but when I was in school I'd go for like 30 minutes every other week or so. I was just trying to find something that I can do on my bum knee other than walk. I can't even run. Shit sucks.
For the most part I just watch what I eat... and pop adderall kek.

lost 100 pounds over the last three years, I am working on gaining some muscle now, I wish I had more pics of the change in my body but when I was fat I didn't like to take pics of myself so all I have are the changes the fat loss did to my face which as you can see are dramatic.
>>24026567
Big part of all of it is the mental determination, I used to lift and one good motivation came from seeing results. Lol and I'm sure adderall definitely helps with food. Fuck that shit made me skinny and boring

>>24026567
Ah right, nevermind then. Considering your knee swimming probably is best and since you're eating at a deficit you won't put in any muscle.
You should consider planning your meals or calorie counting if you aren't already. It really makes losing weight a lot more efficient.

Well most professional athletes sit at 7%. I thought about it I've only ever browsed
>>24026311
your BMI is 21-23 which is perfectly healthy actually
you should have some muscle, enough to classify as fit or athletic.
any less is unhealthy
>>24026820
Thanks! I still have a few areas with too much fat, though. My stomach isn't quite as flat as the lady you posted and there's still too much fat in my face for my liking. I'm hoping within the next 15 lbs or so those issues will leave me and I can stick to just focusing on muscle.

>>24028367
That's some willpower to keep eating the same thing, anon! Most of /fit/ only talks about chicken breast for some reason, but pork tenderloin is a wonderful option as well. If you can find it on sale, it could be close to the same price as chicken breast. An entire pound of pork tenderloin is less than 500 calories while being almost 90 g of protein and just as lean as chicken breast.
Regular pork loin isn't as lean, but it's often cheaper. At about 200 calories per 4 oz and 26 g protein, it's still a great option if you're tired of chicken. It tastes amazing cut into steaks and cooked on the grill and it freezes well, so you can make a bunch, freeze the steaks and just heat them up for a quick meal whenever.

I only consume around 1,700 calories a day if I eat chicken, if i have fish its around 15-1600 but im okay with up to 2100. I usually buy for just the week and spend anywhere from 30-60$ on food.

Right now my goal is to build up my neck by October. The Army uses a very outdated taping method to determine BMI, and if you have a small neck (common in large weight loss cases), they'll try and kick you out even if you pass your fitness exam.
Any advice on building up my neck circumference without gear would be appreciated (studying for my job keeps me from being able to hit the gym).

Hot damn. You lost the weight but kept the ass, thigh, and hips. Looking sexy as hell.
>>24030263
I agree with that completely. Even though some people like fasting, doing it made me have absolutely no energy. It was a bad habit to eat in one meal for me when I was younger and I was starting to fall into that again until recently. I'm glad this thread popped up to remind me to keep eating like a normal person.
>>24030893
It's wonderful to see a guy who feels that way. I lurk so many boards and see the exact opposite all the time. Even though I understand, it's still a bummer people are afraid to like what they like.
You wouldn't happen to be the guy who posted the blonde girl in the polka dot pajamas in his posts on ideal mate threads, would you?
What made you come to the conclusion 4chan wasn't a place to find love, though? There have been some happily ever afters on the site before. >>24031201 Nice, anon! I hope that we have these threads once in a while so I can see as you get the body you want. You look like another guy who has a great frame with your shoulders being a good deal wider than the hips.

Where in NY are you?
Not as major as most people's, but somewhat satisfied. Jan 14 - March 24, I was 210 and went to 186. After another month and a half back up to 200look the same just been floating around 202 -196 consistently. But I notice my shoulders getting bigger and chest which is nice so I know I'm gaining muscle. The diet is what really sucks.
>>24032489
Yea I only have one large meal a day its also more convenient

That's terrible you were treated like that in ideal threads. Have you ever tried going into those chubby/big girl contact threads they sometimes have on here? If you ever feel like giving 4chan a try again, I think it would be easier there than the ideal threads and you're not going to be bombarded with comments by gooftards.
There was a lovely couple that found each other from those chubby contact threads and despite them being from different countries, they've made it work just fine. It sounds like the girl is thinking of moving eventually, so there is hope for finding love here.

That's some fantastic work in just a few months. It's amazing how much of a difference there is in your face as well as your body!

I was 350lbs of pure fat 3 years ago AMA
>>24033832
Was loose skin much of an issue for you? You're a tall guy, but also just a bit older than some of the other men around losing a good deal of weight, so I'm extra curious.
What was it that got you to change your life around?
Did people treat you differently? Did you become bitter like some of the people on /fit/ or are you cool with it?
Also, how often do you get asked about loose skin? pff
>>24033832
Gimme your numbers breh
>>24033641
Thanks! My friend was in the Marines and he got me back into it I thank him for the most part. That was a few months ago now I've put in more mass. Mainly in the shoulders, back, and legs.
So after a year I should be where I want to be for the most part. Just eating clean lean meats in a daily basis really sucks especially the first month. High protein intake and try to only eat high carbs in the morning. After that it's chicken or lean beef with protien shakes and creatine. That's about it.

>Was loose skin much of an issue for you? You're a tall guy, but also just a bit older than some of the other men around losing a good deal of weight, so I'm extra curious.
Extra skin was and is an issue. Although not so much now, 2 year after being at an all time low of 180lbs. I attribute some of my luck with my skin to having bulked back up to 250lbs before cutting back to 200lbs and to always staying hydrated/ just good genetics.
>What was it that got you to change your life around?
There was a lot of small things (buddies busting my balls, girlfriend saying that i'm not attractive) But when I went to the doctor for chest pains, and was told that it was due to the caffeine in the 4+ energy drinks/day that I was drinking… And that I was pre diabetic.That combined with having been recently single, I had decided that I was going to do something about my weight.
>Did people treat you differently? Did you become bitter like some of the people on /fit/ or are you cool with it?
I notice that some people in my life that are less successful with their weight losses seem to be encouraging me to fail. Or people seem to assume i'm a douchebag now, rather than the fun fat guy. Not sure about the "bitter… "
>Also, how often do you get asked about loose skin? pff
Less than you'd think I guess… Mostly girls in their 20's who find out about my weightloss. I don't talk about it much. I'm almost more ashamed that I became that person, than proud that I overcame it…. If that makes sense.

Here's a "before" picture…
I was already just about 30lbs down by this point. I thought that'd be happy to just get under 300lbs, and I actually thought that I was looking pretty jacked in this pic haha
I was just doing some dumbbell bullshit and bench press at home, and going for an hour walk when my hips could handle it.
>>24033641
Yeah, thought about it. There's just a lot of dicks in those threads. Literally.
>>24034268
You've got a great friend! I had somewhat of a similar situation, but those friends didn't know they were what helped me to start bettering myself. It's also good to hear you're not skipping on legs and you're building muscle there as well. I'd wish you well on continuing to reach your goal, but I don't think you need any shitty wishes with that determination and mindset hah.
>>24034541
I'm afraid I'm a phoneless pleb. I do have an email I use for the site and skype, though. I realize it's pretty inconvenient, but I'll leave my email for you or anyone else just in case.

That is very, very true. I sometimes lurk and when a girl happens to post, I get ready to refresh in ten minutes to see 20+ men leave their contact info. Even if it's ridiculous, that is exactly how that couple I was talking about met.
>>24034669
Holy moly, you look outstanding! Seeing you has me pumped and gives me a little hope. I'm not delusional thinking I can come out of this looking that great, but it's lovely to see your transformation. Thanks for posting your pictures and answering all my questions.
Some of the reasons you turned your life around sound absolutely brutal, but I enjoy hearing another person who was that large using it to push them into becoming healthy. I bet you have killer calves many men can only dream of having.
>I'm almost more ashamed that I became that person, than proud that I overcame it…. If that makes sense.
It makes perfect sense. I've seen many, many anons who feel the exact same way. I'm mostly pissed off at myself because it's much easier than I thought it would be to lose weight and work out. I was my own worst enemy telling myself I couldn't do it and I'd fail for years.

Took me three years to find out lifting wasn't enough to fix my insecurities. Trying now to focus on having a better mindset. The only thing that keeps the feelings of inadequacy away is looking in the mirror and seeing an improvement but improvement is coming slower and slower these days.

Currently serving in military, done with my first week. Everything went better than expected. Yesterday we marched the first time - 5 kilometres/ 3.5mi, with 40kg/90lb of equipment.
Went quite well. I was 111kg before this week. I think I'll be quite fit at the end of my service/training.
K that was all

I don't really care to be the perfect picture of health. I don't wanna be on my death bed either, but I'm really 100% in it for the look (and dudes). I don't like how muscle looks. I just wanna be as tiny and feminine as possible. So I'm ok if I'm slightly unhealthy to achieve that.

yes, actually. All soldiers get issued a Victorinox Swiss Army 08.

Been gradually working on loosing weight for about 6/7 months now, lost about 35lbs so far and almost hit 300lbs when I started. Doesn't help that I'm a dev and I'm sat down most of the day.
>>24026486
You are a crazy person
>>24035862
It's actually pretty rare for men to post their weens in those threads from what I've noticed. There will maybe be one or two while most just post their face, chest or nothing at all besides their details or contact info.
I swear I don't lurk them that often!
>>24037687
What made you ask such a question, anon? I'm the worst person to answer since I'm still large and plan to be on the bigger side than the norm, but I will never be hesitant to be friends with someone who is fat or unattractive no matter what. All I care about is if they're a kind person and I enjoy their company.
>>24037721
>I'm a dev
Neat! What do you do exactly?
And keep up the good work! It's great to have another person posting who used to be close to the 300's and is currently working on their self.
Have you felt a change in your body, attitude, endurance and clothes yet? I can't remember when I really started feeling the change. If it hasn't happened yet, I'm sure it will soon enough.
>>24037801
Basically I code server side and client side apps for a pharmaceutical company. So I've noticed I'm losing a bit of fat from my face, also I currently have to wear a belt with my jeans (until I get new ones.) I have a bit better self confidence, but I seem to hit alsorts of non /fit/ issues which knocks it down. Not really noticed much on the endurance yet. But I'm looking at having a higher protein diet to help with my metabolism etc.
>>24037801
I just have a slightly different experience from lurking, but I may try again.

Gym or outdoors. Started cycling 9 miles everyday. Commute to and from work for the past 3 weeks but scale isn't budging. Sigh

Diet is far more important than exercise when it comes to weight loss, work on that first. Find your TDEE and eat 500cals below that. If your weight goes down good. If not lower your calories again.
Is myfitnesspal actually worth using? I find it extremely confusing cos I don't know anything about food (which is probably why I'm a fatshit)
>>24041733
It could be if you learn about food etc then year, I mean for me I've mainly cut my portion sizes and cut down on take outs and junk food.
>>24041821
Part of what's confusing me is my daily kj intake. The average is apparently 8700 but mine says to aim for 9.5k?
>>24041867
use calories not kj, and it'll work if you find it hard keeping track of what you eat.
