You only live once, people. If you're losing weight for the sexual validation of a partner, you're doing it wrong. Lose weight to be more active, not for the women. (Or the men, if you're a woman or are gay)

Cutting calories, that simple. Namely sodas. I started drinking diet sodas and zero calorie energy drinks, and its been life changing.

My workplace has a gym with battle ropes in it. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't afraid of looking like a dumbass with them. After all, these aren't complete strangers I'm with, these are my co-workers who also visit the work gym. How do I get over myself and make myself go in that bitch and work those ropes like a caveman lassoing a runaway cavewoman to drag her back to make me a sandwhich?

Minimal sugar and no alcohol. I've been attempting to drop 30 pounds and I've lost 8 lbs in about 7 weeks so far.

I was pushing 108kg two years ago. Managed to get down to 102kg and maintained that until last October. Cutting calories, stopped eating processed shit since then, I'm down to 92kg and aiming for 80kg. I'd say "wish me luck" but I don't fucking need it. This is all me and I'm a put up or shut up kind of guy. You guys can do this, too. Work hard for it.

Don't do that.

For me, it started with deciding to stop drinking alcohol - and once I figured I can live without getting smashed every fucking night (because I was depressed and didn't give a fuck if I live or die) I decided to go full out. Cut out junk food, sweets, sodas, pastries, only eat meat and eggs, with veggies and fruits to kill that craving. For exercise, I realized that I would walk everywhere - so I had 10 kilometer walks daily. Go to the store? Walk there. Meet some friends? Walk there. Go to job? Walk there. Stairs in the way? Climb those fuckers.

By the end of month 2, I was 10 kilos lighter just from that. I started at 147 kilos (that's 324 pounds), I was at 137 after eight weeks. The hardest part here was the booze - my friends are heavy drinkers, but they ended up supporting the shit out of me. So it's really important to constantly remind yourself that you can do it, and if you have friends supporting you, the better.

At this point, you'll also get this question popping in your head: Do I really need to eat/drink this? You'll figure out that the answer is no, and the fucking amount of willpower you get when you figure out that you really don't have to eat or drink is incredible. Once you realize that you have that discipline and willpower to really push through, it gets to the next step.

For me, it was starting a small house gym. I was still socially retarded and considered myself an ugly fat fuck to hit the gym, so I decided to exercise at home. Bought a couple of kettlebells, read more about proper exercise routines, went at it. Organized my day so that I'd spend 1 hour walking to work, 8 hours working,1 hour walking home from work, 2 hours exercising, 2 hours for me time and 8 hours for sleeping. Sundays were rest days. Saturdays rotated - I'd either spend 6 hours exercising, or 6 hours outside visiting museums, art galleries, shit like that (of course, walking everywhere). Morning cardio is a must.

Once I had my daily schedule down, I went with intermittent fasting. Eat lightly for breakfast around 8 AM, last meal was around 2 PM. At first, it was a nightmare to get into it, my body wanted more food but I denied it. Remember this: knowledge is half the battle, the other half is commitment. Go for it. Really remember what you're doing it for - you're doing it for yourself.

If you want more cardio, go dancing. That will also help you with your social skills. You'll already feel more confident with how you look because you'll notice the changes, and that confidence will shine through. Don't go looking for sex - you're there to brush up on your social skills, and if something happens, great. If not, great - you've met some really interesting people.

What are the results from this? I can now hit 30 kilometers daily, lost 44 kilograms, got into mountaineering, had the courage to climb the Alps, and feel amazing. The mental strength you get from this is the best thing though - I managed to beat my depression into pulp by getting fitter.

Next step for me? Proper gym and martial arts.

We're all gonna make it bruh.

I lost over 200 lbs in the last 2,5 years but I already made a thread a month ago to get attention for that. Now I just want to motivate you with something simple I discovered: Sports can actually be fun. Not just the stupid "raises hormone x and y for 3 hours" kind of fun but actual enjoyment that fills some of the holes in your heart.

I only wanted to lose weight so I can have a family once. I didn't really care about any health reasons since, considering the life I lived, I had no interest in living that long in the first place. I soon discovered though that I'm still a social retard and an abomination so I got depressed again.

That changed once an old acquintance of mine recognized my weight loss and invited me to go bouldering. This fucking sport is one of the best things I've ever done. It's just amazing to see all the new things I can do now with my body. Everytime I go I learn something new and get to push my limits even further. It's really fulfilling and makes up for all the bad things that are happening to me.

I'm not telling you to neccessarily go bouldering. I want you to realize that although there are lots of sports you can do as a fat person, once you get thin a whole new world opens up and there's certainly some stupid sport that is able to captivate you. Stay strong.

Everyone who posts progress in these sorts of threads seems to be morbidly obese to start with. Not to shit on your achievements, but it's not hard to cut when you're 30+ kg overweight. Doing nothing more than abstaining from sweets, soft drinks, and fast food will have your fat practically melting off..

I'm currently hovering between 88-90 kg, guesstimating 25-27% BF, and I can't break this plateau for the life of me. Even when autistically recording my morning weight, my food intake, and my exercise in a spreadsheet, I still couldn't seem to lose any more - it's like my body adjusted to eating under for such a long period of time, which is probably what happened. When not having carbs (e.g. bread, pasta, potato, and rice), sweets, and soft drinks, the lowest I got to was 86.9 kg for a single day, while usually I was sat around 87.5-88.5 kg. After somewhat giving up and eating whatever I wanted (within reason), I moved to 88-90 kg instead - a negligible change, really. Even then I don't remember the last time I ate fast food or had a soft drink with sugar in it.

I think my body is retarded.

Oh, and while cutting hard I was eating between 1000-1600 kcal, and some days just entirely fasting. Every calculator I've used said my BMR is a little over 2000, and my TDEE a bit more than that.

Why do you want to lose that weight? Why not just make it into muscle instead? Maybe if you weigh that much and cannot lose more, you are meant to be like that.

Food for thought.

Alternatively, you are just eating too many carbs and cannot lose weight. When you say, "the lowest I got to was 86.9 kg for a single day" it sounds like you were going carbless for a one day. Cut them out for a longer time, it will almost certainly give you the body you desire.

>Why do you want to lose that weight?

Because I have the Alan Thrall physique but fatter - pic related. It sucks having feminine fat distribution; no pants look good when your arse is comically oversized, and shirts end up resting on my arse and making me look far fatter than I actually am. It's a paradoxical state of existence where you can pretty clearly see the bottom of my ribcage, but my naked arse looks like a horrifically melted candle, and when I'm seated you could mistake my thighs for those of someone much fatter. I'm lucky enough that I have a fairly broad chest and shoulders, because otherwise I'd look like Red Guy from Cow & Chicken.

>When you say, "the lowest I got to was 86.9 kg for a single day" it sounds like you were going carbless for a one day.

I did low-carb intermittent fasting for several months, sometimes 16:8, sometimes OMAD, and other times fasting for entire days; I also never eat breakfast unless I've stayed up all night. My only source of carbs was sometimes tomatoes & cucumbers, sometimes a bowl of Greek yoghurt, and sometimes a bowl of oats with milk, but never all on the same day. Quite often I cut out dairy entirely to try and starve my bacne, but I don't know how much of a difference it actually made - if nothing else it somewhat reduced bloating. The difference between my plateaued weight when doing this and when I was having as much milk and grain as I wanted was about a kilo. That being said, I did go from ~96 kg to 87 kg doing this, but stalled heavily thereafter - including on my strength.

Right now I've cut out all carbs for the past two weeks or so, and have been living off of eggs, tuna, beef. Only today did I eat any carbs, which were in the form of a small amount of boiled broccoli & cauliflower, and a small cucumber. A friend told me that I looked much leaner today, "like all the water had been sucked out of me", which is true in a way - I've had very little thirst and drunk very little water lately.

I honestly don't know what to do if this latest stretch of IF + low-carb doesn't work.
