/fat/ making it edition

>Who is /fat/ for?
For feta orbiters who want to better themselves through meaningful hard-work, strategy, and dedication.
This is not QTDDTOT, stick to questions on fat loss

>What do I do first?
1. Read the Yas Forums sticky
liamrosen.com/fitness.html
2. Calculate your Body Fat Percentage
fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy
3. Calculate your BMI
nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm
4. Calculate your TDEE
sailrabbit.com/bmr/ (complex)
fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html (simple)
5. Plan your weight loss week by week
losertown.org/eats/cal.php
6. Track your calories and macros with MyFitnessPal or Cronometer. Don't listen to memes, either of these are fine based on what you need
myfitnesspal.com (better for packaged food)
cronometer.com (better for generic food/tracking micronutrients)

>Now what do I do?
Count calories, all of them.
Calculate your TDEE at sedentary
Buy scales, be accurate in your measurements
Learn how to cook. Try to stick to lean protein and green vegetables.
Eat a lot of protein. 1g per lb of goal body weight.
Do cardio. Even if its just walking, cardio will improve your health which is sorely needed. There is no such thing as a healthy fat heart, but you can off set the risks.
Lift weights. This will keep and gain muscle mass and burn fat much quicker. No lifting results in the body burning away muscle AND fat. You don't want this.
Post your height/weight/screenshot of MFP/Cronometer food log when asking for advice

>DON'T
Eat refined sugars, they're terrible for you regardless of calorie count
Eat processed foods, or at least try to avoid if possible
Drink your calories. Alcohol, soda, hot chocolate, fancy starbucks shit. forget it.
Freak out over a stall in weight loss. Plateaus can last up to three weeks.
"Reward" yourself.
Be a retard.

How close are you to your goal? How long do you think it will take you to get there? Are we all gonna make it? I'm just 2kg away from reaching my goal and it will probably take me around a month to achieve this, it's been a long journey /fat/ but we're all gonna make it

>How close are you to your goal?
I started two weeks ago and don't even own a scale yet, so far, far off. I'd assume at least 18 months away.

any pro strats to stop thoughts of food when they're happening? im fasting so i cant eat a stick of celery or some gay shit like that

Do something that distracts you. Preferably not at home so you're not right next to food, even better if it's exercise.

Height: 5'8", Original goal: 140lbs
Aug 2018 -> Oct 2019: 260lbs -> 155lbs
Oct 2019 -> Jan 2020: 155lbs -> 170lbs (started lifting, consciously went on a surplus)
Jan 2020 -> May 2020: 170lbs -> 145lbs (kept lifting)

its super cold where i am and with quarantine im always home but the thoughts i get are for like fast food n shit so there is 0 chance of actually getting the food, but my brain just wont shut the fuck up. hopefully when my jump rope gets here i can just smash some of that out when it happens

Jump rope works, or just doing pushups until you're physically unable to or something.

fuck i completely forgot bodyweight exercises exist lmao, thats a good ass idea

for me vidya and reading science fiction or fantasy always helped. Getting immersed into another world makes me forget about hunger

I've put on nearly 30kg in a year from drinking and the stress of work. I was looking so good before this. It's a rollercoaster for me as the year before that I was the weight I am now and lost it all through fasting. I'm going for it again lads. Least I know how to lift now

go outside and do yardwork or go for a walk if you live in a city. its an addiction you gotta get away from it

yeah vidya isnt doing it for me atm, fps can be really tilting when im struggling, other than that i went full autist on bannerlord when it dropped so kinda burned out from that still. might need to find some older single player games or something

Dropped from 325 to 220, and now it's as if theres a huge barrier that blocks me from getting below 220 despite fasting on a deficit. It's frustrating

try RPGs, I've fasted a couple of times by accident thanks to Witcher 1,2,3

I expect you're exactly as I'll look like in a year

>How close are you to your goal?
Still around 20lb off.
>How long do you think it will take you to get there?
Realistically a long ass time; I’ve only lost 4lb in the past two months, but if I restrict any more aggressively I just wind up binging. Probably end of the year at this rate.
>Are we all gonna make it?
Maybe.

What? Did you just have a stroke typing that?

Started 290
Now 230
Goal 130
5'9
Could get there in 7 months if I just stick to fasting. I plan to do just that. 210 day fast is kinda scary to think about, just for safety reasons, but mentally? I'm prepared.

>goal is 5’9” 130
Even if you’re female that’s way too low.

Ok fatass.

Hey, you have the same scoliosis as I do.

Two months into lifting. I don't even crave junk food anymore because it doesn't have enough protein and my biggest source of stress is getting enough protein in my body without constantly eating.

Started at a big 135~kg place, right now I'm down to 117kg after two and a half months, I am not sure on my goal weight, but what I try to go for is a pretty slim/thin body. Will probably get to that at the end of the year/start of next depending on how it goes. Right now I do OMAD/48 hour fasts with a 72 thrown in, usually 1000-1500 cal meals.

Plan on 2 lbs per week as a chick, so one year to get to that goal weight.
You can (and probably will) do it quicker but I can tell you that 2 lb per week plan works very well for most people.
Good work so far.

>someone retarded enough to near 300lb calling anyone else fat
You would need skin removal surgery for 130lb to not be massively underweight accounting for the weight of the skin idiot.

How tall are you?
Good job so far.

What /fat/ thinks about T25 or nigranity

ngmi

about 50 pounds away from my goal weight, can get there in 6 months if I lose 2lbs a week. Currently cutting at 1000 cals or less per day.

Doctor, if possible, I think I forgot to check in last week and might be kicked out.
If so can I get back in?
This plateau is just fucking killing me
