How many pounds/kg/stones/moonrocks have you lost since the new year? / Your stats? / How many do you plan to lose in the next 3 months?
Both male and female thinspo welcome.
I've been right around 400 calories for the past three days. Feelsgood
>pic is me
>>10918866
you look great, how is your energy? 400 was hard for me.
>>10918866
cool, nice way to fuck yourself up

How are your cholar bones looking at that weight? And what's your weight and height?
Could we get a thinspo snapchat desu? I'd willingly make up an alternate snapchat id to keep track of progress and sent other skeletons cute pictures that dont involve food since you guys are probably trying not to eat anyway :P
>>10918866
Height and weight?
>>10918902
Why not just post shit here? I get the groups on the calorie counters since can add friends and watch each others progress without having cancerous namefags on here, but snapchat you might as well just post here no?
currently aiming at 1100 kcal/day for the rest of the month. slow and steady.
>>10918918
and posting some faves, pics aren't me
>>10918873
Well I used to only get a couple hours of sleep. So once I started trying to lose weight I made sure I got enough sleep. So I'm used to the exhaustion. Now it's just a different kind

They're clearly visible. I just Wiched they would stand out more

I'm 5'8 115 lbs. Aiming for 100
>>10918918
Fuck you look great. Yeah slow and steady is much better imo. Or at least more sustainable.
How much further you going?
>>10918931
That's not him/her
>>10918931
sorry, pic isn't me. I'm 5'11", gw is 125. I'm currently 145 and I can't even look at myself in the mirror, lmao. Thanks though <3

Cuddlebud! Don't lose weight. You were already thin :'(
>>10918951
Eat some fiber cereal.
im too poor to afford a fitbit or something similar, can anyone recommend any of those step counting apps for your phone or are they all bullshit
>>10918953
It's less destructive than what I was doing before <3
>>10918951
coffee. lots of it. coffee and fiber.
I like the atmosphere in these threads
>>10918988
Very comfy tbch
Can we get more male skele thinspo?
>>10918916
Eh, it feels more provate, I guess?
I'd think there would be less shitposters or something, but I feel nervous posting here because I'm worried people would just tell me I'm never gonna make it and I'm a shit human so I get discouraged pretty easily
>>10919004
Gotcha. There are trolls but there are enough good people here it balances out well. But, can't hurt..set one up and see what happens!
It's easiest for me to confine myself to one large meal per day, desu. I've never had any success with the "lots of tiny meals" approach.
Is starvation mode real?
>>10919027
A happy medium of that i did for a while is a large lunch and then a really tiny dinner. Just enough to keep you from not sleeping if you are really hungry.
>>10919032
No. At the most, weight loss can slow down or you can plateau for a week or two. As long as you eat under your TDEE, you will lose weight.
Check for
>constipation
>bloating/water weight (related to sodium intake)
>not enough sleep
I'm M 6 feet and around 170 pounds. I hate myself for it. I'm going to transform my diet in coffee, sugar-free gum, cereal and cigs. Will this be a reasonable approach to go skelly?
>>10919065
Not really. At least not sustainably. Just calorie count your way down
>>10919078
What if I eat a normal dinner and practice some random sport twice a week?
day 2 of having to eat like a fucking pig to get through this blood test + physical
i'm full as shit
going from ~350 calories a day to probably 1500 is rekking me, guys. i'm praying it's enough to get me medically OK but who knows
should i be focusing on calories or vitamins???
5'5" 111 (but who knows rn)
>>10919084
Hey I remember you from last thread. Why do you have to take that test? They are testing to see if you are restricting?
But yeah eat those calories of all nutritious food and take a multivitamin that covers all your bases.
Can you look up the test and see what vitamins and things it tests for?
>>10919065
>coffee
sure
>sugarfree gum
sure
>cigs
stupid way of getting nicotine, gum or patch or vape
>cereal
an all carb diet will lead to flab. eat something with fat and protein like eggs.
anyway, if you're going to eat at a deficit, it needs to be a sustainable deficit. I'm currently at -1,000kcal because if I go any lower than that I'll binge.
>>10919094
they're making sure my electrolytes / nutrients aren't out of whack
which they probably are
i'm gonna take my vitamins but no, i can't see what it tests for; i think it's just a genetic blood test
i've had a protein bar, some fruits, pretzels + salsa (gotta get those carbs in), and a turkey sandwich on wheat bread w/cheddar and lettuce (no mayo or anything)
>>10919113
Are they doing it to see if you are restricting or for some other medical reason and you don't want them to find out you are restricting?
>>10919120
it's to see if i'm restricting. thanks, mandatory wellness assessment staff.
>>10919113
>they're making sure my electrolytes / nutrients aren't out of whack
>which they probably are
And this isn't a warning sign for you that your diet is wrong?
>>10919140
at least my roommate just came in and is eating the rest of the crap i could be eating instead of healthy shit
she's just not even thinking about it and she's had a bottle of full-sugar coke and 3 of those fucking generic sugar cookies with frosting
that's 700 calories just without thinking
>>10919052
Thanks! I was a little worried about gaining despite not eating much in the first place and kept seeing people throw that phrase around in weight loss threads .-.
>>10919052
ahem, def constipated though, but might need to check my water/fiber intake
>>10919083
Just eat 1000 cal a day, smoke cigs and drink coffee. Aderall helps if you can get it. Ritalin or other variations too.
This is a really unhealthy mentality, guys. We shouldn't be encouraging each other to develop eating disorders.
That said, ever since I moved into my own apartment and am responsible for all my own food, I think my calorie intake has gone way down and I obsess over what/how much I eat and not getting any fatter. I'm 6'0 138 lbs and I still have fat over my belly and it annoys the hell out of me
>doing good on diet
>wanna drink tonight
>the minimum of what i drink is already 550 kcal
fuck. time to eat even less than normal
>>10919222
>>10919228
No worries.
>>10919292
You get drunk faster though when starving. So there's that.
>>10919304
that's one good thing. do i need to drink less to get where i usually want to be when starving too?
Do thin girls like muscular men?
Tfw losing weight would be so much easier than gaining weight but I'm trying to get muscular because the life of a normie appears to be so happy
But deep down in My heart i know that true aesthetics lay in being effay and (therefore) being thin
>>10919318
My bf is as skinny as this thread and I detest it. I try to make him eat as much as possible but he just doesn't eat and that behavior alone is aggravating and unattractive. It's disgusting starving yourself; both the mentality and how it actually looks. You don't need to be muscular, you just need to not look like a fucking concentration camp victim and stop being lazy and learn how to eat properly while maintaining a thin physique.
>>10919318
thin girl here, i like waifs holy shit don't get swole
>>10919318
Imo being skinny only works out for guys that have feminine looks. If you still want to wear designer clothes you should go for ottermode.
>>10919318
who cares what other people like? you're better off doing things for yourself alone. I'm not losing weight for other people's approval, I'm doing it for my aesthetic goals. you can't please everyone.
>>10919318
Personally, muscular and big guys are more attractive. It's a Beauty and The Beast thing.
>/mental illness general/
>>10919326
Well like you said eating is a commitment in a way. If a guy is thin and a reason of that is him being lazy, then i can understand that this laziness seems unattractive. But it's a different case when it's about aesthetics and a conscious >habit
>>10919327
That's motivating :')
>>10919336
True
>>10919372
Yeah that's a cool mindset and i like the emphasis of one's aesthetic goals
>>10919389
This. my aesthetical goals for myself aren't harmonious with my dream qts i guess, but still it's romantic
>not hungry
>had two massive cups of coffee w cream and one cigarette so far today, ~300kcal
>no exercise yet, probably gonna walk it off on the treadmill later
today's been all right
>>10918813
Test
>>10918923
>I'm 5'8 115 lbs. Aiming for 100
>Aiming for 100
Just don't pls. 115 at 5'8 is perfect. Adjust your calories to match your maintenance (eat healthy foods, no sweets!), and go running.
I get these "shivers of guilt" every time I see someone starving themselves into unhealthiness, because I used to be someone who perpetuated this meme IRL and Internet - because of "muh fashion ideals". Now my own sister is probably anorexic and I can't get her to change her habits. Feelsbadman.
Just ate Italian food because of a thing for work. I was pretty good about not overeating, but, I know the scale is going to make me pay tomorrow because of the sodium and I'm sure I went over my calories today.
>>10919520
Also, I'm a guy and I always ate what I wanted, while I guilted my gfs into becoming stick figures. Men truly are pigs.
>>10918813
any of you faggots losing your eyebrow hair from nutrient deficiencies? might have hypothyroid but i also eat like shit since i started losing weight
>>10919539
This guy from the last thread was the best:
>>10917752
>>10919552
no but pretty sure i'm getting some peach fuzz on my arms and neck since I dropped these last 5 lbs.
If you're under 125-140, I don't care what sex you are, you're too skinny. Period.
My gf was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, she also barely eats and has an eating disorder of sorts. It's not anorexia because she does eat, but she is rail thin. She used to cut but doesn't anymore, I think she maybe traded the cutting for not eating, I donno.
Any of you like that? What do I do?
I feel like if I try to get her to eat more, it feeds the Borderline Personality Disorder for what I can tell... and maybe the eating disorder... I don't fuckin know what to do.
Sorry if this is not for this thread, ignore it if it is too off topic but figured maybe some of you have delt with this?
I don't have any thinspo so here is a animu hug.
>>10919539
>>10919520
relevance? nice sob story but your feelings of guilt mean nothing to me. just like the rest of your feelings.

Joke's on you, I've been here since 2011. I used to post a lot in pro-ana threads (to which these threads are a successor).
>>10919619
I kno... sounds like of scary. I've been reading about it. It kind of explains a lot. But I don't want to just leave her...
>>10919604
brah, cutting IS not eating
what, she give up on squats too?
>>10919643
>I used to post a lot in pro-ana threads
Not that Anon, what were those like? Are these pretty similar? These are pretty tame, half or more are completely healthy just trying to lose weight
pls tell me a story familia
>>10919604
Maybe be a good bf? Do nice things for her? Listen to her, talk about her feelings?
Or you just run, that's like the easiest solution. I mean, you didn't "cause this problem" after all.
Do whatever you feel is right.
>>10919654
No, she'd like, actually cut her legs. With a knife..
>>10919665
How do I get her to eat something? I feel like that'd be the nicest thing I could do right now.
>>10919604
is she a latvian named inga
>>10919675
No.

Trying to "save" anons? Nice messiah complex. At the end of the day you're still trying to control other people's behavior. The only thing that's changed is your personal desires. Instead of badgering other people to be unhealthily thin to suit your tastes, you're badgering them to be slightly less thin to suit your tastes. You're still a scumbag & a troll's remorse is worthless.

No need to worry. 15 lbs definitely won't kill me. And I may nit be eating enough but when I do its healthy and I exercise everyday. I appreciate the concern but I'll be fine

>How do I get her to eat something?
Don't, you'll just revolt her. She already knows she has to eat. Tackle the problem at the roots, obviously she has an emotional problem.
>>10919660
>what were those like?
Similar to these threads, just with more inspo/screencap pics of literal skellies (ribcage visible, hollow eye-sockets) with routines like "eat only one apple per day", then also skelly fashion, and all that jazz. You'd be surprised how much of skelly fashion was around, they only recently clamped down on it.
Thinspo started out much tamer, and losing weight is healthy for sure, but some of what I'm already seeing I think wouldn't be considered medically healthy anymore.
>>10919673
Unusual technique for weight-loss. Filleting, I'm guessing?
Points for originality, but would probably hurt. Overall, bad idea
>>10919759
>>10919765
>>10919768
>>10919780
>>10919710
I don't care what you will ultimately do with your body. I just feel it's my duty to inform you that those who perpetuate skelly-aesthetics may not have your best interest in mind, but their "personal desires" as you correctly realised. Do what you like really.
>>10919783
>>10919789
>>10919799
>>10919710
Besides, the reason there were no pro-ana threads for a long time was that they were getting deleted. Keep going this route and the same will happen to thinspo too.
>>10919805
>>10919810
>>10919808
Not that Anon, but for the most part people promote pretty healthy weight loss here. Yes anorexia is discussed, but this is hardly a completely ana community here. It's a pretty big mix.
I'm not sure what the pro-ana thread were like because I wasn't around, but, if this was a "pro-ana" thread a lot of the traffic would be gone. I'm not anorexic, I just want to be thin and this helps.
>>10919818
>half the calories of oatmeal with equivalent volume
is this possible? Because if so I have found the holy grail
>>10919820
Why are none of the inspo pics of guys?
Also, if I lose far enough will I eventually lose my chubby cheeks? Already 6'3" and 135 lb.
>>10919826
>>10919822
Looks alright. I'd see how full it keeps you. That seems to be the trick with all this. Oatmeal keeps me fairly full for a while for the given calories. Maybe that is similar?
>>10919827
I just don't have any, guys get posted in these though.
>>10919831
>>10919835

I'll at least get to 105. Nice to know I have similar body type as a model
hey everyone
is there a way for me to guesstimate my size? i have no scale and no access to one but i know i am teetering on the edge of being overweight for my height and i am becoming so desperate to lose weight and have a normal body that i will do almost anything to lose it. i am also 25, going 26, with a serious case of depression and not giving a fuck so yeah advice welcome.
captcha about pasta or noodles, fuck you
who here /stop eating/ as a punishment?
I feel pathetic and suicidal more and more often. Drugs no longer help nd give me munchies and make depression and anxiety even worse
I'm going to fast tomorrow as punishment for being an all around disgusting subhuman trash can. I can't wait until I go from ugly chubby to ugly skeleton
>>10919982
i just posted >>10919907
i have been telling myself to go on a week fast for about a week now but haven't started yet. i have no drugs or drinks or anything and the only persc i have are anti depress that i don't take anymore cuz they don't work
>>10919987
A week fast wouldn't be pushing it? If you tell yourself your gonna go on a fast for that long, it might be a little hard to get it going :/ Plus how will you get nutrients and such?

Hey guys I have a condition in which my breastbone mildly sinks in to my chest called pectus excavating. Is there any hope for me staying skinny? I've been skinny all my life as of now I'm 6'0 125. Should I get surgery or start bulking and try to get fit as surgery is very expensive?
>>10920050
pectus ex is /fa/ as fuck
Ok I'm 5'7 and weigh 108lb atm, I'm in therapy (maudsley, I'm being weighed weekly and monitered like crazy) and I'm fucking sick of it. At my lowest I was 95lb, but I want to get down to 90. How do I cheat the system?? They'll stop weighing me so much when I've reached 112lb (disgusting). So what do I do till then, to make them think I've gained? Also, do laxatives actually work for purging or no. (By the way, I'm 18. Just still in school and living under parents b/c I was a dumb kid and got held back. I already don't eat at school and puke whenever I can, but I'm still gaining, slowly. I don't want all my work undone.)

Any tips are starting to go skelly? I imagine just suddenly starting by going to 800 calories a day isn't the best idea.
6'4", male, 190ish. Looking to get down to about 165 - 170 lbs
>>10922730
Calculate TDEE, then subtract 750kcal for how much to eat per day. That's a pound and a half per week.
When you get lower and your TDEE is getting to be really low, then do -500kcal for 1 pound per week.
Slow and steady. 800 calories isn't needed to get to 165
How am I?
>>10922701
so should :^) I hate that smug little bastard

Do laxatives actually work for a purging method? Still live with parents and am being forced to eat, supervised. I already hide food and spit and puke when I can (I take special care of my teeth after though) but it's not enough. Tips please
>>10923660
no, just eat dinner and dont add anything to your food, avoid the bread/cheese/butter/sauces/etc
>>10923660
Don't eat less food, eat better food. Also, try and avoid food with too many chemicals.

Going to a psychologist for gender dysphoria and hopefully hormones soon. I just don't want to look like a guy.
I'm 5'7 at 155lbs and eating 1000-1500 calories a day. It's fucking hard not eating when your mom makes delicious food all the time, these fucking skellys must have shitty parents who don't love them and don't care about them baka

You can't spot reduce. You're always going to have /some/ fat on your stomach unless you do really stupid shit like abuse laxatives and dehydrate yourself. Thighs might be muscle from walkng around a bit of your body shape.
Post a picture.
im 5'8''/173 and 158lbs/72and have been eating400-500 kcal for 2 days now and i plan to eat like this for at least a month, will i see results in amonth or should i aime for 3 months will this caloric intake?
>>10924147
Every 3500kcal in deficit is a pound (I think), so I imagine if your TDEE is something like 2000kcal, and you eat only 500kcal per day, then you should be losing a pound every second or third day.
I doubt you'll be able to keep up eating only 500kcal for months though.
>>10924154
my tdee is 1500 i dont move that much just some light walking to school, id like to think i could keep up 500 for at least a month and then eat a little more
>>10924260
Jesus fucking Christ you're so stupid it actually hurts.
I truly hope you develop severe body/eating issues after your little diet, end up in a hospital and die, you pathetic excuse for a man.
>>10924264
i am a girl and girls are stupid so its ok
>>10919084
Keep us updated. I want to know if this actually works.
>>10918813
Does any chick who loose weight end up with a awkward skinny 'hourglass' shape body instead of a boyish figure? I'm only 52kg/5'7" on a 1100 cal diet and I look like a creepy hourglass, what am I doing wrong?
>>10922811
feminine hips
>>10924551
Nothing, those are your bones,you have an hourglass figure, nothing to do about it.
>>10924260
You can try, but, honestly think you are better off eating like 1000kcal per day. It's more sustainable and you won't be at risk for things like fainting or mal nutrition.
>>10924619
nothing wrong with it, even male models have hourglass figure
Is this effay thin?
>5'11
>between 125 and 130
I have good metabolism that keeps me in this fresh skinny hell

Please educate yourself before posting
one month progress
>>10925240
what's your secret?
>>10923553
A faggot
This has been a really bad month for weight loss, only 3-lbs. I've just been so hungry.
>>10925240
nice hourglass
>>10925240
Hi cyclebro. What group set do you have?
>>10918887
>avg american eats excess of 3000 calories per day
>1800-2100 is optimal @ basal metabolic rate, on average
400 is perfectly fine tho
>>10925298
1000 calorie deficit every day without respite, with a few days being in the triple digits in net calories
>>10925337
what is a "group set"?
>>10925240
Have your facial aesthetics improved?
>>10925396
It is hard like that. I mean after having some visible success / weight loss it gets a lot easier, but then I have these periods where I just don't seem to make much progress and I'm more hungry than usual or tired or whatever. It seems to go in spurts for me, but they are getting further apart as I get lower in weight.
Like last 30 days I've only lost 3-lbs. I've had some slip ups but overall had felt I was being pretty good. It's just slow and tedious sometimes.
We're probably focusing on it too much also. But, for me, documenting weight every day and meticulously counting calories is the only way I know to drop weight.
>>10925390
I would say so, my cheekbones are more defined than before
>>10925429
That's reassuring. I'm trying to drop my bf% to get rid of my baby cheeks. Terrified that they will still be there when I reach my goal weight
>You should never eat less than your BMR because your metabolism will actually slow down, causing your body to go into starvation mode so that any weight that you do lose will be muscle weight, not fat weight.
>To lose weight, we need to create a caloric deficit.
To safely create that deficit, we need a number between our BMR and our Daily Caloric Needs number.
Wait is this true?
>>10925440
no, your body evolved (was designed?) to preserve muscle in times of low calories, its the reason you store fat in the first place
>>10925440
I have always heard that starvation mode doesn't actually exist, I don't know for sure though.
>>10925440
No, that's bullshit. And I recommend eating a pretty high amount of calories per day compared to some on here, but nothing wrong with going below BMR while dropping weight. If you are sedentary your BMR is pretty close to your TDEE.

So can someone link me to a weight loss calculator that I can trust?
>>10925497
They are all pretty much using the same formula:
http://www.iifym.com/tdee-calculator/
But like MyFitnessPal and so forth will give you the same results.
Just calculate your TDEE and subtract 500kcal for 1lb/week, subtract 1000kcal for 2lbs/week. 3500kcal over time in deficit should equal a pound of loss. Obviously that's all rough but it is all legit.
>>10925510
>can only eat 1000kcal if I want to lose 2lbs a week
Oh dog.
>>10925523
Yeah so eat 1500 and it will take longer but not be so painful.
>>10925531
For some reason MFP told me with 1500 I will lose 2lbs/week.
