Spilled some lard down the drain. Sharing with you, so together.
I'm fat.
Weighed 89kg in mid March, weigh 82kg now.
I'm trying to eat the same thing every day so I can evaluate my eating habits and adjust them a bit to shed a few pounds. Watermelon threw me off track but I've been hovering around 210-205 for the past year. Just need to find an enjoyable way to exercise.
I'll probably kickflip my weight away starting this year. ;D
I'd probably join if this thread were in contemporary units of measure.
Im fat too. Kinda want to do something about it but Im a lazy piece of ****

skateboarding is rad. I just have a longboard right now but could probably pick up a used skateboard for like what, $10 bucks?I'd probably join if this thread were in contemporary units of measure.
Sorry, iri. Even us Americans know that metric is a better system. I'm 86kg, 183cm. I saw a picture you posted where you were at a 90s rave or something. Preeeeety sexy.Im fat too. Kinda want to do something about it but Im a lazy piece of ****
I'm a lazy piece of **** too. I spend minimum 14 hours a day in front of the computer and would much rather play counterstrike than exercise. I end up talking myself in to it a couple days a week but still it's a struggle. I got myself out of a rut by challenging some friends to lose weight with me and we put money on the line. Then I make some small changes like gave up soda/beer for awhile and stopped eating out 5 days a week and eventually some good habits stuck.
I lost a good 8kg or so a few months back and then due to all the moving and all, couldn't continue the diet.
I'm back on a low-carb diet that should most likely keep me in ketosis,
- Breakfast (9 AM): Protein pancake (1 scoop whey, 1 medium egg, 40g butter, cinammon), 100g yoghurt diluted with water and rock salt, 2 tablespoon psyllium husk
- Lunch (2 AM): Protein shake (1 scoop whey, water, 50ml thick cream, 1 medium egg)
- Evening (6PM): Something from the office canteen, made from beans or eggs.
- Dinner (10 PM): Tomato juice, 100g yoghurt diluted with water and rock salt, 2 tablespoon psyllium husk, 40g butter
Plenty of water through out the day
10k steps everyday
Cheat day on Saturdays.
Height is 168 cm
Current weight is 78kgs
Target 60 kgs
On and off.I'm fat.
Welcome. You doing anything about it?
I typically get 5-6hrs of sleep.That's what you should fix first before you turned insane.
MoreI lost a good 8kg or so a 6 months back in 6 weeks and then due to all the moving and all, couldn't continue the diet.
I finally decided that this was just an excuse and if I tried to find a solution I can make it work. I'm back on a low-carb diet that should hopefully keep me in ketosis (Although this is not a target),
-- Pre-breakfast (First thing after getting up and brushing my teeth ~8:30 AM): 2 tablespoon psyllium husk with three glasses of water (About 1L)
-- Breakfast (~9 AM): Protein pancake (1 scoop whey, 1 egg, 40g butter, cinammon), 100g plain yoghurt diluted with water and rock salt
-- Lunch (~2 PM): Protein shake (1 scoop whey, water, 50ml thick cream, 1 egg)
-- Evening (~6PM): Something from the office canteen, made from beans or eggs.
-- Pre-dinner (As soon as I get back home from work ~9:30 PM): 2 tablespoon psyllium husk with three glasses of water (About 1L)
-- Dinner (~10 PM): Tomato juice, 100g yoghurt diluted with water and rock salt, 40g butter

But I have tried incorporating more fresh and raw veggies into my lunches and only eating yogurt for breakfast and eating sensible portion sizes for dinner. Also I have to resist the urge to eat out of the vending machines at work.
I also don't get enough sleep.
I've physically felt bad enough lately I want to do something about it. I'm always exhausted and generally don't feel well.
The thing that sucks about not eating enough is the hunger. I've found some meals work well to help that out but otherwise, I've got to have filling low calorie snacks around for the inevitable stomach growl.
As it stands, it's almost noon and I've been hungry for at least the past hour despite my oatmeal + protein shake + coffee.
Been working on this. I'm almost in a recomp mode right now where I'm trying to increase my lifts while eating at/near maintenance levels. I've started dropping a small bit of weight while slowly increasing my lifts but it's definitely a slower process than simply trying to focus on losing weight.
Fortunately the wife's finally on board with the whole weight loss thing and cooking as such so I don't have to worry about scorn for not eating her meals when she makes something not so weightloss friendly.
I'm definitely not eating enough, burning 2k calories, consuming 1.2k, working on 40% deficit, this should drop 1kg a week based on keto calculator.
I try not to eat too much during the day and save a nice meal for the evening. That way, even if you're bored of your early maintenance food, you can have something to look forward to.I do this sometimes as well. For me it's a bad habit because oftentimes I'll have so many calories left over that I eat foods that are poor nutritionally (example above lol).
Count calories and exercise. Two simple things are the hardest to do :'(
I'm down another 3 pounds since my 5/27 weigh-in, which puts me at 6.91% bodyweight lost. I took a 30 mile bike ride on Sunday so needed to eat a lot of food back...ate a king size bag of Skittles and half a bag of pretzels before dinner. I don't feel great about that but technically I was still under my alotted calories so ::)I try not to eat too much during the day and save a nice meal for the evening.

It really is simple, though exercise can take a lot of time and it's real work. Counting calories is easy as hell once you get over that hump of like one week IMHO. It's turned in to an invaluable skill for me because I actually had to learn what a tablespoon of oil looked like (or actually measure it out), or how much 4oz of chicken actually is. Before I was eating basically double portions of everything and literally had no idea.
The reason that I like & use myfitnesspal is because it saves all of the food that I eat so logging in all of my food takes 5-10 minutes out of my day. I bought a food scale on amazon for $11 (Ozeri Pronto) to get familiar with food weights so I know exactly how much I'm eating but these days I don't even need to use it that much. You just get familiar with those foods that you eat over and over again.

Well... usually I'd have a little bit of rice porridge.. Some fried-dough sticks, and possibly some chashu pork.. and some steamed shanghai cabbage.

I feel as if I have been gaining weight due to my job. I'm working 60 hr weeks and never have time to actually go food shopping, so I have been eating almost exclusively pizza and crap for the past two months or so.1. Eat less
Gained some weight because of it and generally feel like crap.
And it's every lunch too, I'll catch a ride with the usual group and all we ever get is Five Guys and pizza. Then when I get home I realize I have no food in the house and inevitably wind up ordering pizza or subs or some other form of greasy delivery.
It feels like my work life has forced me into unhealthy eating habits. Any tips on breaking this cycle - bearing in mind I don't have time for cooking or shopping, and rarely get a say on what's for lunch.

For me, on cheat days I ate a lot more than the calories I burn, but I believe a lot of it just goes out the system undigested. I always have a runny stomach at the end of the cheat day and the day after.

I think part of the difficulty is just genetics. If you think you are so hungry all the time when you actually just work in an office, then it's going to be a struggle. Unless you're doing hard physical labor, you don't need that much food. Like I said before, a good way to look at it is don't eat much until the evening, so you have something to look forward to. If you eat huge meals all day, it's just harder to get that momentum going of living lean.Lessen the portions, the stomach will shrink and you won't think that 'you are so hungry'. And that has nothing to do with genetics.

If you eat huge meals all day, it's just harder to get that momentum going of living lean. You don't want a big porker meal before the afternoon or at lunch unless you need that fuel for something that's actually physically strenuous (or maybe if you skipped dinner the night before)! You're just going to get hungry again later anyway. I often eat little to nothing for breakfast, and maybe a small lunch. Then a nice dinner and I never go to bed hungry. But sometimes fasting during the first half of the day actually gives me more energy, especially since I'm not all loaded with sugar! Mostly I eat just enough during the day to not feel like I'm lightheaded from too low blood sugar.

I work out on my lunch break. I'd end up miserable with not eating until later in the day. Even with intermittent fasting they recommend BCAAs while working out (morning workout) so you don't feel like absolute crap. I've found that eating a bit more in the morning is more beneficial to me than loading up a bunch at night. I've stated including a protein shake in my breakfast that I can just drink in the car on the way to work, then have my oatmeal at work. I find if I eat more in the morning, it tends to keep me from getting as hungry for the rest of the day - I can do a two meal day with a sufficient brunch whereas a light breakfast will have me definitely wanting lunch and dinner.
If only we could just stop eating.Yep. I have no will power when it comes to trying to stop eating and trying to start exercising. Or for that matter changing just about anything, it's just too easy to stay in the rut.

But I can still say I'm in shape right? Round is a shape. Huehuehuehue. :(
I propose we add each other on myfitnesspal and keep each other on check. Don't lie on your calorie count, you are only hurting yourself.Add me, I'm on a 696 day logging streak. I will never give you up, let you down, run around or desert you.
Give Strava a try for tracking your exercise and try following other people.
I'm sitting here in between tasks at work and I'm hungry.
I get a snack out of the snack machine and eat it but I'm still hungry. Lunch is in ~2 hours. :(

Drink H2O!!! My body confuses hunger with thirst often. I find that by drinking water, that "god damnit I'm hungry" feeling subsides to a "I guess I could eat if there was food in front of me, but I don't need to seek it out."

I used to eat a lot of almonds, cashews and other nuts for a snack but after a while it messed with my stomach.
Yesterday I did bring an apple.
But I've eaten lunch for today and I'm hopefully good until tonight.

Bummer on the stomach issues. I'm always on the lookout for healthy snacks as well. I really wish beef jerky was like half the price because I can burn through a bag real quick
I used to eat a lot of almonds, cashews and other nuts for a snack but after a while it messed with my stomach.Typically I try to balance my main three meals each day to account for 3/4 of my calories, and then the remaining 1/4 for snacks. Biggest problem people do when dieting is thinking they can just eat lots of "healthy" foods. Portions are a big deal. Weight loss/maintaining weight and health all comes down to proper nutrition, regular exercise, and balancing your intake:outtake ratio. Things that work well for me:

I've been trimming the fat as of late trying to keep everything I eat really lean. The first few days I had insane amounts of energy but I guess my body adjusted and now I'm pretty much back to normal energy. I'm trying to drink less caffeine so that I can burn more fat, but skipping my morning coffee is nearly impossible for me to do these days.

drinking more caffeine would mean more fat burning

I remember there was a kid in high school..
He went to the doctors mid year and got prescribed Ritalin
Lost 50 lbs .. ..
So..... basically, ADHD amphetamines, worked really well for weightloss on this kid.
Saturday's are a cheat day, so yesterday (Friday), I went to the store to pickup some sweets. Now, just a background, I'm Indian and I have a sweet tooth; the Indian cuisine probably has the most variety and number of desserts. The protein shakes I have are in chocolate and vanilla flavor, so I didn't want anything with close to those flavors. So back to the store, I'm standing in their in sweets aisle and I just can't decide what I want to eat, I'm there for a good 15 mins and I come back home empty handed.
Back home, I'm standing in front of the mirror and thinking, "who the hell is this guy". Not sure to be happy or sad.

Anyway, my strategy: soup, salad, fish, as much as possible. Add "miracle noodles" to soups for filler. Don't buy snackfood, since it'll all just get eaten. If snackfood is necessary, jerky is good, but expensive, especially if you're a snob (I'm a snob).
Also: I find I do better if I avoid "easy" foods. Laziness can be made to work for the diet, if you have literally nothing in the house you can eat without making a whole recipe.

What's a good munching food? During the day I need something to snack on, not because I'm always hungry, but just as something to do at my desk.
I usually eat almonds or cashews, sometimes craisens, dates, or wasabi peas. I like a snack that's either salty and crunchy or sweet. Nuts are a bit high in calories but they keep me super regular. Dates are caloric laden too I think.
Does anyone have any good suggestions for healthy snacking foods?

Carrots, Air Popped popcorn, rice cakes, celery are all great choices.

Yeah, I actually typed out an entire paragraph rambling about how much I hate the taste of raw carrots and celery specifically but deleted it because it was detracting from my overall question.
Guess I should've left it in. But yeah, raw carrots taste like dirt and celery just tastes like something that is not meant for human consumption.
Popcorn looks like it's about 200-250 calories per bag, which isn't too terrible considering it's carbs.

I can say if you are trying to lose weight going out to eat is a bad choice. It's so easy to go over your caloric intake.
Went to Red Robin yesterday and looked up my food when I got home because I was curious. A burger and fries + a milkshake - it was over 2000 calories for that one meal alone.

It's tricky but it can be done. I tend to focus on places where they've got the calories listed or I know I can get a good meal within a certain level of calories. Though I admit, living in the Los Angeles area gives me a pretty wide array of options there. In many cases, I will just skip a meal or have a very light meal if we're planning on eating out. Particularly if it's something like all you can eat Korean BBQ or sushi.

These two were the first things I tried to start with when I went on Tp4-Unfat-2016..
Gave up about as quick as the last time, Eating carrots/celery is just as unpleasant as exercise..

I was doing good on weight loss.
Then Father's Day weekend hit. I think I recovered from that.
Then the cafeteria had buttered chicken today. Not the best I've had but for the cafeteria, a decent effort. I have a feeling I'm going to need some more calorie burning efforts this weekend to help offset things.
Sigh.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Two years ago I was 235 and felt like ****, wearing 40" waist jeans and filling large shirts. My ex was a good cook of things that were bad for me/us, and her limited mobility and can't-be-alone-ness (leukemia and chemo/rejection/etc 10 years prior really ****ed her up) led to being Netflix junkies (as I was dying inside). I couldn't take it anymore, so we split and I moved out. Six months later my diet was less tasty and I was down to about 220, I started going to the gym with a buddy of mine and had a lofty goal of hitting 185 in a year. Last summer I hit 195 and was feeling a lot better, salads and ground turkey were a boon, but I wasn't going to the gym anymore. I started this year at 185 and hit 172 by april when I went back to school for my final 6 weeks. The stress of my final term and huge federal final exam had a terrible impact on me, my diet was terrible due to lack of time but I was still pounding back the salads, I was an emotional wreck and felt like ****. I finished school 5 weeks ago (98.75% avg over 4 years, 95% on federal exam, weeee), and I've been eating out too much with the friends I had to disappear from while in school, so here I am back at 180. I'm down to 34" waist jeans and medium shirts, and feel hella better than I did even 1 year ago, let alone 2 years ago. I felt great at 172 before the stress hit so I'm aiming to get down to 170 soon, I'm 5'11" so it should be a good weight.
I still have a gym membership ($22cdn/month), but I have no idea what I'm doing when I'm there and lack time/motivation to go back. My friend that I went with before was into building muscle, all I want is to be stronger/healthier at the weight I want. I do need to go there and get exercise though, I've been told it'll help with the other issues I've got.

Look up a weightlifting program to run, like starting strength, if you have a program to follow it makes going to the gym easier.
There is a Steven Seagall movie called On Deadly Ground; in the bar fight scene the dialogue goes like this:
Forrest Taft: What does it take, what does it take to change the essence of a man?
Big Mike: I need time to change... I need time.
Forrest Taft: I do too.
So I'm kind of approaching that with dieting. :p
There is some solid advice here that I would like to echo, while adding my own.More1. Stop crash dieting.
2. Download MyFitnessPal (or another calorie tracking app, though MFP tends to be the most popular)
3. Buy a food scale (I have been actively gaining weight for the past year, and a food scale has been the most useful tool. It will greatly assist those of you attempting to lose.)
4. Find something you enjoy doing (running, lifting weights, bike riding, swimming, trampolines, whatever) and do it, consistently.
5. Be dedicated to yourself and your goals.
Weight loss and gain do not actually happen overnight. It takes time to become overweight, and it takes time to lose weight. You CAN do it. reddit.com/r/progresspics is very inspirational. Don't look at this as a short-term goal (i.e. I want to look good for the beach in 3 months). Look at this as a lifestyle change, and make changes gradually. You don't have to hit the gym 5 days a week and only eat celery. That is insane. Start simply by replacing a junk food in your life with a healthier option. Then do it again. Maybe start your activity 1-2x per week for 20 minutes each time. Then add a day and/or up the time. Once you make it routine, it becomes habit, and then honestly you become as addicted to it as you were the junk food or the laziness.
Some of you don't like to exercise, and while you don't have to exercise to lose weight, it is preferred for general health, accelerated weight loss, and improved body composition (fat vs muscle). Still, the majority of weight loss happens in the kitchen, so start there. Find your TDEE (which MFP will help estimate) and eat 300-500 calories less than that. MFP will actually guide you towards the correct number of calories to eat based on your goals.
Do not be misled by misinformation. There is a lot of it out there. You can lose weight by only eating candy bars. Seriously. It would not at all be healthy, but it could be done. So long as you use more calories than you consume, YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT. You are not the exception. YOU ARE NOT THE EXCEPTION. (If you really think you are, then you need to seek medical advice.)
There is time. You have to make it. "I have no time" is merely an excuse. If you want something, you make the time, period.
You will stumble. Get up and keep moving.
Don't let others hold you back. Do not let others make you feel guilty about losing weight. Generally, that is their envy talking or misplaced idea about healthy weight.
Don't pay attention to the scale. It will lie. Your weight fluctuates greatly depending on food inside of you, temperature, and or water. You can use the scale as a guide, but do not let it discourage you. Look in the mirror. How do your clothes fit? Those are your indicators.
Hey, congratulations, you lost weight! Now you move on to the hard part, keeping it off.
Keep doing what you are doing.
tl;dr PM me for information and/or advice. I am not an expert, and I know my limit. I have been lifting weights and eating very healthy for the past couple of years, and I have learned a lot. At least I can point you to some resources.

Congratulations my man!
My final weigh-in for a weight loss challenge amongst friends is this friday. If I win I get 300 big ones and some serious bragging rights because I started with the lowest amount of fat in the group. I'm going to have to be grossly strict with my diet tomorrow (few carbs, low sodium, reduced water intake). Not looking forward to that.

Thanks for the bump iri & nice job staying healthy guys.
I'm sort of maintaining weight...bouncing between 187-193lbs for the past few months. Two months ago I finally kicked a casual dip/snus habit because it's not healthy and a completely unnecessary cost. I only did it a few days a week but since quitting my appetite has been insatiable. I don't miss tobacco at all but holy **** do I want food all the time. I'm chewing a ton of gum and pounding water but still catch myself mindlessly eating. I'm getting married in 3 weeks and really wanted to get below 180lbs to be cut for the honeymoon but I don't think that's going to happen unless I do something drastic. #firstworldproblems
