187 for a 6ft manlet isn't so bad. Remember that you won't gain muscle if you are on a caloric deficit, you can roughly maintain it but that's about it, going over and you can risk burning it instead of fat so watch your protein intake. Cardio will make you lose weight, but it also matters how much you are sitting down during a day, and how much water you are drinking.

I would recommend you bulk into some strength unless you think you can eat less than how much you're working off and burning naturally in a day, which would be a lot harder than just eating what you want and lifting heavy shit with the same amount of cardio. Because we all know how silly one looks with all upper body strength and no leg strength…

Form over reps. If you aren't swimming, lifting, and running correctly you can end up destroying yourself before you even start. Remember your warmups, and don't fucking forget to stretch before AND after. Conserve and expend your energy wisely - fat is energy. Ignore women, keep jacking it to cartoon women, and don't fucking work out with that stupid belly ring in… Don't buy into those silly advertisements that tell you to eat a certain food everyday or avoid a certain food everyday. Use your best judgement. Don't forget to exercise your brain.

>>122772

Bruh, them titties say it's been a while. Lol.

I can already tell that by your physique in the pics that you aren't old enough to be working 60 hours a week. No one should be doing that shit really unless they're struggling to support a child, pay insurance, and pay bills. 2 of which I would already wager you don't worry about.

I was going to give you all this invaluable advice that would have saved you fucking months of front page search engine advertisements and waiting for bad criticism from random dickhead fatass anons talking about how healthy a starbucks protein shake is, maybe even an expensive health bill from a doctor.

But since you know how to lift, and >>122756 you know how to run and swim and that you're just fat, how about you go ahead and unblock them cheeseburgers with a timestamp, you attention whore?

You would be well advised to go to college first and join ROTC and jump right into officer training so that when you join the Navy you'll go right in at a higher rank and higher pay grade already leading men into your shoes. Just know that not all colleges offer an ROTC program, and every program is specifically designed and set up for officer training into a specific branch - meaning not always the Navy.

ROTC scholarships will pay for your college and give monthly allowances if you're made of the right material And you can still apply by your senior year, there isn't really a deadline unless you consider the start of the semester.

Might be a really gay thread, but you're still a bro.

>>122775

Well, there are deadlines. I mean to say you can still apply when you are a senior in college as opposed to missing the opportunity when you were a senior in highschool. The scholarships aren't that restricted from what I've been told.

And I've heard tale that the ASVAB doesn't even matter if you've gone through ROTC in college. Something, something, probably wouldn't put your chips on the thought. But it is something to remember asking a college recruiter.

And it's not too late to apply to colleges, Anon. If you choose ROTC (not JROTC, that's highschool) you can join in your second semester if you aren't ready for the fitness. You'll likely have to consider a major and/or minor that you can utilize in the military if you go through ROTC. Criminology, psychology, military science, health sciences, etc.

Why the Navy though?

>>122775

>>122778

You think this is the first time someone decided to delete one of my posts? Lurk moar faggot mods. I should say thanks, I wanted to edit that post anyway.

>Now let's see how well my memory holds up against the sands of time - reveal my post!

I should say there is a deadline, but what I mean to say is that you can still apply by your senior year in college as opposed to missing out on the scholarships completely by your senior year in high school. So you can wait a semester to join ROTC (JROTC being the high school program) if you aren't physically or mentally prepared.

I've also heard tale that if you go through ROTC in college you don't have to worry about your ASVAB score. I wouldn't put my chips on this thought though. But it is definitely something to ask your college's ROTC recruiter about.

You should consider choosing your major/minor accordingly as, from what I've been frequently told, most degrees will hold no use in the military, especially for an officer. Majors and minors recommended include things like psychology, criminology, most sciences, technology, military leadership and science, and even filmography..

>No one should be doing that shit really unless they're struggling to support a child, pay insurance, and pay bills.

Alright, look you little shit. I know it might not seem like it, but I have to take care of my two little siblings and my ma'. Since late April my days have consisted of working 8 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday in manufacturing, then working 8 hour shifts at my other job Friday-Sunday in retail. Sometimes it comes out to 50 or 55 hours, but other times it comes out to a little over 60 hours. As much as I hate dumb fucks saying "you don't know me" to justify their shitty lifestyles, you legit don't know me. Thank fuck my boss at the manufacturing job is gonna keep me on so I'm quitting my retail job, but fuck off.

>I was going to give you all this invaluable advice

Take it and shove it up your ass you snarky cunt.

>>122775

>>122778

I already have my degree. Like I've legit completed 100% of my requirements to graduate I just have to apply for graduation. I have all my electronics technician certifications, but I lose my private scholarships if I claim my degree, and I'm using those private scholarships this next year to pay off about 1/2 to 2/3rds of my student loan debt I took out to keep my family from being homeless. I'm only about 11k in debt, which for four years of helping with rent I don't think that's that horrible. I'm just getting my CISCO CCNA certifications/learning convo Russian next year, might pick up some carpentry skills if I can make the time/if my Russian courses get canceled. Talked with a representative from Solidworks who'll let me get my private CAD certs for free even if the school refuses to give me the voucher due to not taking their "advanced solidworks" class. Right now I'm going to a CC but the trades departments I'm through are almost completely isolated from the shitty environment of the main college.

>Why the Navy though?

I'm literally just joining the navy for tax credits/job experience because in this fucked up economy, an infantryman veteran who drove trucks is worth about the same amount to a company per year as a technician with 2-4 year's experience in their trade due to tax credits. Once I get them there vet tax credits, I can go work for a wastewater facility making $25/hour starting out. I might as well bank on the military worship circlejerk in this country for job security while getting stationed somewhere comfy working on ship servers and communications equipment/getting to visit foreign countries and fuck around, and if I like it I'll make a career out of it/go officer, or if I don't I'll just fuck off with my vet status after serving my minimum 5 year contract as a technician.

The reason I decided on Navy specifically is because private companies consider Navy training as being superior to ChAirforce training in the Electronics/Electrical Technician field (and we don't talk about the army when it comes to technicians unless they were helicopter repair technicians, damned window lickers). Navy has limited space on board their ships, so they train their techs to do about five different jobs whereas ChAirforce has their techs on-base where they get specialized training in one category and can't do anything else. Army is out of the questions for spoilered reasons because it puts me in the middle of the wasteland where I get shot at by durka durka jihadis and left in shitty conditions that'll see me in a VA's office once a week for the rest of my life. Marines is out of the question because, once again, I'm not a window licker and similar reasons to why the Army is no-go. Since I want to go overseas anyways and planned to front the money for it privately, I might as well abuse the Navy to try and get a free trip to different countries. Now watch me get stationed on some coastline in the US.

Anyways, gonna make an excel spreadsheet of autism relating to my diet and fitness plans for the next 10 months since my schedule SHOULD be relatively stable now that the manufacturing job has become permanent until I go into the Navy and they're aware of my plans to go into the Navy after I officially graduate.

Current Stats:

224lbs (long story, lots of drinking and eating out because of the move)

6'0"

22 years old

>>124182

Aight, here's my current schedule that I'll have in August. Right now I have free time in the evenings, so I'll just work out earlier/longer in the evenings. Once the school year starts, I want to get used to getting up at 5 AM instead of 7 AM so I won't feel like complete shit when I go to boot camp. Otherwise I could probably get 90% of my workout done in the evenings.

By Calisthenics, I'm referring to…

<Pushups (alternate closed fist/open palm every other day)

<Situps (stupid, but Navy uses these for PTs)

<Pullups (if not a weights day, otherwise just incorporate into weights)

<Third World Squats (to improve squat form)

By Cardio, I'm referring to…

<Running outdoors where applicable (C25K)

<Running on a treadmill when not applicable (HIIT derivative)

<Swimming (mainly breast stroke, occasionally freestyle or back stroke)

There's a martial arts place near my house, so I might see what their rates are and replace evening cardio with MMA training.

Weights shall hereby refer to one of the following two routines…

A Days

<Squats

<Deadlifts

<Bench

<Farmer Walks

<Pullups

<Flyes

<Skullcrushers

<Neck Exercises

B Days

<Squats (or Leg Press)

<Cleans

<Push Press

<Incline Bench

<Pullups

<Shrugs

<Forearm Curls

<Neck Exercises

"Neck Exercises" shall hereby refer to strapping a leather belt around my shotshell box and doing hypertrophy reps with it in the form of extensions, flexions, and lateral flexions. These are to help build neck width as this is a major thing with determining body weight in the Navy (E.G. thicker neck=more fat you can have=more you can eat like shit).

Mondays are guaranteed rest days, however, Sundays shall be observed as a potential rest day depending on which religious fasts are being observed, how my body feels, and other factors.

Diet shall consist of whatever the fuck I want, with only three goals that must be met:

<Minimum 100g protein/day

<Minimum 125% Daily Calcium Reccomendations

<Caloric goal of ~2,000-2,300kcals/day in order to hit a deficit equivalent to 300-600kcals/day or about 1-2lbs of fat per week until I get to about 200lbs.

As of right now, I'm around 25-27% bodyfat. At 200lbs I have about a 38" waistline which is equivalent to around 22%, and at 190lbs I'm around 18% bodyfat at a 36" waistline from previous experience. So goal right now is to get down to about 190. Since I don't have to be in shape until February/March, and I only need to get to 23% bodyfat, this gives me about 4-5 months extra to prepare my body than I actually need to get to the point I need to be at (~203lbs), which is the short term goal. Since about 7lbs of that is water weight from experience, this short-term goal should be reachable by… Eh, late October if I'm lazy? These are just rough estimates knowing my body and having done this before. This time I have a goal I have to keep in mind instead of just wanting to do it to "improve myself" though.

Aight, I need sleep. Work in seven hours.

>>124182

You're a bullshitter and I don't believe more than half the bullshit you've said. At least I'm not living in the fucking 1800's and early 1900's, where kids have to support their families. You have fun with that degree of yours', and good luck paying off small increments of an 11k debt over the next two decades.

>going into the Navy for the money

>only knowing anything about the military that you learned from movies

I really do hate people like you, with a passion. You might belong here, but it's people who think like you do that make me sick. It sounds like you think you're superior to others because of the troubles you've faced in life. Don't kid yourself. You're a fucking slave. This isn't your fucking blog and if you don't want advice and opinions and you just want to shoot down and deny anything anyone is going to say unless it pertains to some slob-catering meme, or they don't bend to your sob story bullshit, then you shouldn't be here. Yeah matey, you're not to hard to figure out.

Fuck Zyzz.

>>124213

>and good luck paying off small increments of an 11k debt over the next two decades.

It's gonna be about a 4-5k debt by this time next year.

>going into the Navy for the money

For the tax credits/future job security. There's a difference. The money is a shit when I could be making $25/hour starting wages as a technician for the wastewater plant. The tax credits/veteran status are priceless in convincing normalfags to hire you or to get them to shut their mouths.

>only knowing anything about the military that you learned from movies

A) Where the fuck did you get that statement from?

B) There's only two people I ever hear say this- Egotistical reservefags who like to pretend they actually matter, and butthurt milfags who never got promoted past E4 maybe E5 in rare instances based on pity who served in a largely useless position, but took their jobs way too seriously and need to somehow justify their existence. I've got enough military friends/acquaintances to recognize this behavior from a mile away.

>It sounds like you think you're superior to others because of the troubles you've faced in life.

Dude I'm a fatass who's hobbies are shitposting, reading weeb light novels, lifting weights/cardio, and eating. I know you're a Stirnerfag who has to project, but the only people I feel superior to are the kinds of ham planets who get posted in FPH threads. I have no desire to deal with your delusions just because I didn't consider your "advice" to be some godsend.

>and if you don't want advice and opinions and you just want to shoot down and deny anything anyone is going to say

I never said I didn't want advice and opinions. Frankly I appreciate the anons calling me out as a fatass. I just don't want your advice and opinions. You gave generic advice that is common sense to anyone who's done any routine other than crossshit, shit it's common advice listed in the fucking sticky. When I calmly told you I already know that shit, you flipped shit and became an egotistical douchebag. For fuck's sake dude, you could have just posted "read the fucking sticky" and you would've been less of a dick than you're being right now. Given you're ego, you'll probably come back in a few months when the progress pics start showing progress and be like "hurr I did this by being hard on you durr" but I really don't give a fuck at this point. If you have nothing to contribute other than that ego Stirner blessed you with, then just don't contribute leftyfag.

>>124214

>Lol, god fucking damn it.

I think calisthenics are largely pointless at this stage in the game (maybe when I was just starting as a lardass back in HS but not now). That being said, if you don't practice, then no matter how good your bench is or how strong your core/pectorals are, you won't be able to lurch out the necessary pushups/situps. Second pic related. It's a mindset thing- if I do the PRT pretty much every morning, then by the time I do the real thing it'll be a breeze. It's like studying for a test, but the test involves your body instead of learning shit.

Here's your timestamp, faggot.

>>124396

My only regret is we weren't able to keep the project going long enough for me to send that $100 gift card since almost everyone dropped out…

>>124458

>>124465

>>>122774

ayyy that's me!

>then just don't contribute

You ungrateful fatass I've been here with you since day one of this thread and I'm still here because I know damn well what you're like and I know damn well what you can be. I've been dropping advice and giving comments at every corner, and whether you like it or not, and until I'm bent for any reason, I'll be riiiiight here. I know another person EXACTLY like you - he used to be a best friend of mine, somewhat younger than myself and always called me sensai since day one - in regards to taking advice and hearing out reason, and it's not that you're being incompetent. I believe it's because you think you know exactly what you need to do for yourself, or that you believe you know exactly what is right. And I think that's very admirable and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't the exact same way.

So I'm not telling you to take my advice, I'm not telling you I'm in, or was in, the military, and I'm not telling you I'm fit. I'm 21 and I'm pretty chubby myself, but I was a pretty active child for most of my life and I've been on and off workouts for a bit now as well. I haven't had a job in almost two years and I'll be going into college this semester racking up thousands of dollars of debt as well since I blew all my financial aid in the past on beer, pizza, video games, driving around the central and west coast of America, and cigarettes. And I missed deadlines for scholarships. I still don't believe you're working that much to support the family that is supposed to support you. I think that's just going overboard. You don't have to impress anyone here, you know that right?

>>124466

Try it. But you shouldn't name the contest after some dead faggot. Hell, I'd chip in on the cash prize if I knew this board had more activity, like taking out a site-wide board advertisement. The fear of halfchan traffic speeds and thread making and knocking is real though.

Maybe your contestants were too lazy to make fake emails in fear of being doxxed. Did you work out the possibility that some people might have posted pictures of themselves long ago, or of a friend, and then cheated for the money? You should make rules for exif data checks if people really do want to enter into the contest/project.

>>124530

Say that to my face, fucker, not online and see what happens.

>>125456

I was actually gonna post a pic tonight. Even have it saved on my phone, just went to lunch.

Current stats: 230lbs (mostly water weight, this happens every time I start back up and I'll rapidly drop in about a month)

All my lifts have gone to shit, but expected this much. It'll be a month or two before I can diddylift 370lbs again. Push Press has somehow not suffer at all/still at 165-175lbs.

Spent most of the month getting my shit together routine-wise. Plan to spend next month getting my diet back together.

I've cut out beer almost completely and only drink a single or two on the weekends (I was drinking every/,every other night). Withdrawals suck, killed my routine this last Saturday but I'm getting better.

Work changed my hours slightly so I go in earlier now. Will probably just do intermittent fasting since my job isn't physically demanding any more, and eat a small meal before leaving so I don't go out and buy fast food on my way to school.

Here's a side view.

>that receding hairline

>them juicy tits

>them child bearing hips

>dat 40% body fat

you're not going to make it, enjoy your loose skin and stretch marks you subhuman,

it is a punishment from god for gluttony.

>>125501

>Receding hairline

I've always just had a big forehead. My hair is actually so thick it causes professional haircutting razors to get stuck in it if I let it grow too long (hence I'm shaved near-bald in the OP) and my dad's entire side of the family went bald by age 21, so I'm not too worried on that front since my dad's the only one who didn't inherit that gene.

>them juicy tits

Was in my momma's womb almost an extra month because the doc fucked up. Came out 10lbs, full head of hair, and gray from iron deficiency. Pretty sure I absorbed too much estrogen as a baby and that's why I've got these suckers. I've had them since 3rd or 4th grade. They don't go away even when I'm lower bodyfat, but they at least go from a size D down to about a size C (but if I keep my shoulders back and wear a tight shirt at lower bodyfat, it just looks like I injected synthol into my tits).

>dat 40% body fat

It's actually closer to 26-28% based on my neck thickness, hip thickness, etc. Stretch marks and loose skin are a sign of honor that I'm proud of as they show what I've overcome (I was 260lbs my Junior year of High School before I decided to get my shit together and start my /fit/ journey some 5/6 years ago). At least I don't live in a country where they have to beg people to fuck because living conditions are so shitty, and being /fit/ is considered a sign of being a faggot, nip. :^)

Walmart has these $1 loaves of Italian and French breads that are like twice the size of a foot long loaf from Subway. And I think the cheapest you can buy a pound of sliced sandwich meat in a bag is like $3, with some cheese, a few all-purpose veggies, and some sauces/toppings shouldn't cost you more than $30 for a hearty home made meal once a day for a month that isn't canned beans and poorly cooked rice.

If you want, you can also consider buying into those $1 frozen meals, easy-prep soups/noodles, and burritos. But the best advice I think you'll be able receive in all seriousness is to eat plenty of meals throughout the day that aren't as calorie dense (snacking throughout the day), if you can't manage only 2 or 3 light meals a day within your calorie range.

Also remember to look up how many calories are in your foods if you happen to eat out, eat something your parents bought from a drive-thru, even almost any beer out there. People work hard to provide the public with the proper calories in most foods and beverages. And of course, it should be noted that you must be counting your calories, as much as you can, every day at best. Just friendly reminder.

Hey buddy, don't listen to everyone here. They are negative assholes and they are most likely having a hard time in life themselves. They are just jealous that you are improving your life and bettering yourselves while they are rotting in the basement. They want to see you lose and you can't let that happen. In fact I sincerely hope you complete your fitness transformation so you can enlist in the army, only to be deployed to some shithole destabilized country like Afghanistan and be captured and tortured. You will then go back to America were they will spit on you just like they do to all veterans, when the harsh winters come you will freeze to death in the streets.

I just want to say that I can't stick around to see your progress. I told you that I would, >>124525, and I just want to come clean and be honest with you instead of just fading away without a word. I want you to keep working on becoming fit and healthy. But I want you - more than anything else should ever want of you - to be happy. I can't stick around. I type too much and my ego isn't going to allow me to just sit idly by and not post alongside you guys, so I've gotta bounce. Godspeed, fatass. You're going to make it.

Will post results some time tomorrow morning. No car, gym fucked me over, realized my dad was a gains goblin, but I bought a truck, told my gym to fuck off/signed up for 24 hour shitness membership, and my dad is once again about 11 hours/750 miles away from me, so I won't have any excuses this coming month.

>>125853

Yeah fuck it. I can't help myself. Where's tubby?

You still own this garbage? >>126225

Show us some pics you fatass. Someone post some pics.

I won't make excuses. I fucked up the last two months, but that's why I'm nutting up and posting anyways to show I fucked up instead of trying to hide it. Better to face the shame head-on and learn from it than to try to hide and pretend I never said what I said. The scale is showing my weight has remained stable from minimal exercise, but my waist feels about two inches fatter. My new gym sucks and is super busy during my normal hours, and the locker room reeks of feces (it's what I get for going to a ghetto-ass 24 hour shitness, but I needed the late-night accdss). I have to do deadlifts with bumper plates because it's not allowed except in the "olympic" area which hurts my ego, and bitches are constantly bitching to the gym staff because a fat guy is sweating up a storm on the treadmill next to them. My mile time has decreased by almost three minutes and I feel constantly short of breath. I'm irritable at work, I have bruises on my feet all the time, my index fingers are bruised to hell, and I feel like my life is falling apart. I need to get my cardio in, but with how disgusting the locker room is, I'm convinced I'll get parasites if I use the swimming pool instead of running. Surprisingly my lifts didn't suffer too badly and my calisthenics are slowly improving despite seeming to put on fat mass.

These last two months I've gotten peer pressured into going drinking and such at least twice or three times per week, and I can't go into too many details about this yet on an imageboard that could one day be linked back to me, but I'm being pseudo-blackmailed by my family members into these drinking sessions among other things. I feel like shit, I look like shit, and I can't get into the gym enough to fix this/stop shoving my fat gut full of shit food when I get up at 5AM for work and don't sleep until nearly midnight. To top it off, work is gobbling my gains by having me work my days off. I'm so tired on the weekends I end up sleeping from 2PM when I get off work until nearly 9PM at night, and virtually don't get out of bed on Sundays.

Things I've done recently to improve my situation:

1. Told my manufacturing boss that this Saturday was the last time I'd work overtime, and after the new year I'm going back to part time or they're giving me a raise/bumping me up to full time if they want me to keep working full time hours.

2. I've decided to quit all alcohol and other substances cold turkey, and go completely straight edge. I'm giving up caffeine except for tea and foods that contain it as well, and won't buy any more caffeine-containing supps after my current vitamins run out. Blackmail consequences be damned, I won't do it any more. Beer/wine is the devil and is the #1 contributor to my lack of progress.

3. I'll man up and risk getting parasites by using the gym's pool. Worst case scenario I lose weight from the parasites I figure.

4. I'm going to get my CCW and start working on getting my passport this month or at the start of January if I can't get an appointment in before then. More /k/ related than /fit/, but I feel like this will help build up my confidence and will give me more excuses to go to the range and shoot shit to blow off steam.

5. I quit one of my classes in order to free up more time in the evenings for proper gym work. I've figured out how to condense everything to two days per week next semester as well.

I'm still in the game and can only look forward past my mistakes/look for ways to fix them when they happen. I hate myself right now, I hate my siblings even more, and I hate that I haven't made any actual progress in half a year because of school/work.

>everyone laughing at OP, man who is aware of his problems and that wants to fix them

>none of the fags that laugh at him posts their gains

>How much did you weigh at the start of all this, and how much do you weigh now?

Define start of all this? I've been exercising off and on for a long time.

>And can I ask what it is you're eating exactly? Keep it all relatively simple could you?

Morning at 5-6 AM: Generally carbs that can be made in a hurry like rice/oatmeal or fruit, maybe a little milk. ~200-500kcals

10 AM Break: ~100-200kcals in fatty foods like nuts/seeds to keep off the hunger so I don't binge at lunch.

Between 12 and 1 PM Lunch: Meat, cheese, and bread sandwiches. Occasionally an energy drink on cardio days. Roughly 500-700kcals

5 PM After Work: ~200-300kcals in milk or whey shakes to keep the hunger at bay

At this point if I have classes, skip this number ahead two hours

8PM After Gym: This is where I fuck up and generally don't track good. After accounting for daily cardio I'll usually have about 600-1,200kcals I can burn through while still losing weight, and I'll eat accordingly while getting my vegetables in here, but then I get forced into drinking and then I tend to eat shit after getting drunk on top of the alcohol calories.

I'll get roughly 100-150 grams of protein throughout the day which is reasonable enough, and I'll generally try to eat more fats than carbs since they keep me full longer.

Sleep begins between 11PM to 1AM depending on how tired I am, start it all again the next day.

>And could you tell me, and try and condense your exact reason(s) as to, why you want to be fitter and healthier?

At this point I'm just doing it for the Navy and because I hate being a fat piece of shit. I stopped giving a fuck about girls after my 1st year of uni because I have more important shit to worry about, and I'm too autistic to give a fuck about what other people think of my body. I just have always liked exercising and playing sports, and I also like eating shit, and being fat makes it hard to exercise/makes the eating shit part feel more like a chore/addiction rather than a pleasure to help fuel my exercise.

>and if you want to share, what gun have you got? I bet it's some cheap, knock-off, glock model

I've got a Mossberg 500 for home defense, and a S&W M&P Shield 2.0 for my future CC gun.

>secret clearance

I think you mean security, and come on buddy. Who gives a shit? If I were applying for that shit, which hopefully some day I do, someone is probably going to see what fucking shit I jack(ed) off to, and the things I've downloaded and said. And none of it is going to look very good. But I'm not worried.

>I figure the Navy will help me learn those anyways

Don't count on it bro, of course, immersion and living day to day in a culture is and always will be the best methods of learning a new language, but don't count on that too much. A friend of mine from the Marines said over the span of 4 years deployment he visited at least 15 countries, Norway being his favorite with all the blue eyed, blonde haired babes. But the longest amount of time he spent in one country was like 3 months, and the shortest being around 3-7 days. Besides, it'll look better on you if you know the basics and common word usage of at least one language ahead of time.

so in 6 months you've managed to accomplish nothing at all.

have you considered trying?

>>130241

Yeah my friend, it's a courtesy to call it an addiction; addiction to food, and probably video games, alcohol, and most likely drugs. This shit is real fucking common, and not always easily remedied, solved, let alone realized or understood. Probably doesn't help that he likely has no hobbies or interests.

It's not my problem, and I don't really care what OP does in his free time behind closed doors. But those kinds of things can easily distract someone from taking something as serious as a drastic lifestyle change to heart, especially from the coddling of a bunch of random fags on /fit/ telling him to keep up the good work. Of course, it's his choice regardless. But do you think it really matters? Does any of my post even matter? Nope. But do I have anything better to do? Nope.

He probably cares about fitting into this community. He probably thinks to do so he has to twist the truth a little, being that he's tried to make some efforts towards furthering himself, to at least the starting point of his goals. Step one is eating, which will be hard enough for someone like himself in a part of the world where cheap food comes at a disgusting nutritional (or lack of) cost. Will he try and learn to cook? Probably not. Will he try to get better sleep from his bullshit 'job' (video games)? Will he risk losing his friends that keep dragging him through the dirt of alcoholism and drug abuse? Probably not. Do you think he even has the best home life? Probably not. Do you think he has any clue how much extra weight he's carrying around and how hard it's going to be to (almost every day of the week) walk around at the least, running at most, with that much extra weight? And with less than, or around, 100g's of sugary/oily treats a week as any rewards for his efforts? Nope. Do you think he's going to go out and spend money on a food scale, real food, cooking supplies, beginning workout equipment, and take the effort to research what exactly he needs to do in order to lose fat and gain muscle efficiently without the expensive advice of a trainer and nutritionist? Or can he even afford these things? Probably not. Are these any viable excuses not to leave the past behind and move on with building a life for himself and changing his unhealthy ways? Nope. Does this bullshit generate traffic and interest in the board in small gains? Hopefully.

Rocket Tits!

You should keep us posted with what you've been eating and drinking, each day. You've got around 750 posts a thread right!? That's plenty for shitposts and your progress.

>>130245

Yeah man, once you start on your fitness journey, you sacrifice your previous self into the pyre and you don't look back.

When you go from one physique to another, it's much more than skin deep. You become a new person. But some people don't understand that. It's a shame.

>>130405

You really think so? I still enjoy all the old things I used to, even the junk food and games, when I can, especially all the porn. There might be a few things I've grown out of, and plenty of new things I've tried and now love. Does that make me a different person? Just what makes a person unique?

I don't live in the past as much as I live in the present, and I probably don't look towards the future as often and as in depth as I should. I seek to improve myself, not change every single aspect of who I once was into being something completely new, or "different". Because I'm still very young, and constantly changing, every day. I still wear the same clothes I wore in middle and high school, 5 years later, and I still wear my hair the same way. I still speak the same way when I can, and believe in most of the same things. Because when I was younger I valued who I was as a person, not what others thought I should be.

Because I stopped smoking, moderated my drinking, and started working out and eating real food that I always had a desire since middle school to learn how to cook; does that all make me any different as a person? And if so, from who? My former self? That's always a cop out. People who become the type of "different" you're implying are those who have undergone such drastic changes to their mental and/or physical properties that they are almost completely unidentifiable by anyone who knew the person before and after any changes. OP doesn't have to change who he is as a person if he wants to just lose weight………………………………………………………………………………………………………

>so in 6 months you've managed to accomplish nothing at all.

Realized how stagnant non-physical jobs are and that I'm fucking up my body with addictive substances, so yeah, nothing at all.

>Have you considered trying?

Would I post here if I didn't have every plan to? Have to wrap up IRL shit that can't be put off any longer, but after Sunday I'll be back into exercise mode/making constant updates will stick to only responding on the /fit/ thread. I got cold feet going to a new gym and fucked up. It took pretty much all my willpower to switch from the YMCA to Trufit, and that was after two years of getting jewed. I know the fat isn't helping my willpower/is making me even more of a spineless faggot than I normally would be.

>>130245

>addiction to food

Yep, but the splorge can be controlled with exercise.

>vidya

Haven't played vidya in about 6 months because no time and my PC's hard drive went and let out all the smoke so I'm doing everything on a $99 laptop that can barely run an internet browser, let alone games.

>Alcohol

Yep, I was drinking a 12 pack a week. I'm letting the alcohol slide a little bit until the end of finals (at which point we'll be going cold turkey in earnest), but I've severely reduced the input over the last week or so.

>Probably doesn't help that he likely has no hobbies or interests.

I have hobbies and interests (other than exercise I like shooting shit, camping, reading, singing, etc.), but it's kinda hard to afford most of them (either monetarily or time-wise) when my life has been revolving around going to work, school, or the gym.

>Will he learn to cook?

I know how to cook.

>Will he try to get better sleep from his bullshit 'job'

I just got a promotion to CNC machinist. CNC machinists work in a separate area without supervision, and my trainer is leaving on Friday, so I'll take pics as soon as feasible as proof.

>Will he risk losing his friends that keep dragging him through the dirt of alcoholism and drug abuse?

I've spent the last six months breaking off contact with them. I don't have a fagbook any more, I don't interact with 90% of them any more, I'm not gonna go "woe is me!" but it's not easy breaking off contact with the folks you've spent the last three years partying with, bro.

>Rest of post

Yeah whatever. Too tired to give a shit right now. Have spent the last week catching up on/getting through pic related. Keep having my twitchy meth-head little sister come in and pester me every five minutes even when I'm doing shit, takes everything in my power not to call the cops on her since I know it'd get my fat mother arrested as well.

>>130316

Sarcasm aside at least I'm reading your post sarcastically, I'm probably gonna start up a daily log of what I'm eating/doing as of next week like I tried to do, but I'll probably keep it on the other board and just reply to stuff on here. I could post this week, but I'm gonna be eating like shit this week since the dopamine rush keeps me focused/studying. Not gonna lie about that either.

I dunno. I'm on day 3 of getting this stupid CCNA shit done for the semester and I know I still have another 20 hours worth of studying before Sunday if I want to finish it. I just took a break because the reading is killing me, but I feel lethargic right now.

I've been vehicle-less since Friday. I hate my family more than ever for being conniving little shits. Been walking two miles through 10-20 degree weather at 10:00PM at night to get to the gym before getting home at around one in the morning because fuck all of them and fuck you faggots too. This is why I switched gyms was because I knew this would end up happening. Fuck this shit. I hope you all get cancer. I have to go chauffeur around some ungrateful brats so I can at least have access to a vehicle tonight.
