Lolitas and cosplayers, how do you stay motivated to lose weight/stay fit before a con/meet up?

I've been rather large all my life, a whale grazing on land, if you will. I've realized that diet and exercise will bare my fruits of labor, but what keeps you motivated? I've been through plenty of "I'm going to stop eating this cake... tomorrow!", but tomorrow never came for longer than a couple days.

For the past couple months I've been exercising on and off. Mostly by riding an indoor bike, or taking a walk to the store and I ended up shedding off 25 pounds. Yet I find myself wanting a big slice of chocolate cake with a cold glass of milk.

ITT: how you stay motivated to exercise, healthy snacks and what not.

by (wo)manning the fuck up. you have to tell yourself, i'm going to stop eating this shit, i'm going to workout. the more you make a habit of things like having an exercise session in the morning everyday after you wake up or taking a walk after you get home the more likely you'll keep doing it. take photos of yourself at your biggest. take photos as you progress. put them on the wall next to the sink or the fridge or something. make a chart of what your weight is and what your goal weight is.

instead of driving all the way to a destination try driving most of it and then parking a couple blocks or a quarter mile or a half mile away. that's a nice, calm, easy, 5-10 minute walk for a quarter or a half a mile. keep doing it and it adds up. same with taking the elevator up most of the way and then taking the stairs for a few flights.

If you want to eat sweets, learn to bake and only eat the stuff you make.

Not only will you have to put in time and effort to get your junk-food, you can make more healthy things that still satisfy your sweet tooth.

Plus freshly baked cookies are so much more amazing than store-bought ones.

And the smell will entice everyone around you to want some too, so you won't have to worry about being stuck with a few dozen later.

You've got to make decisions, stop flitting around.
Don't let yourself think "gee, I wish I could have a piece of cake," think "I am NOT having a piece of cake."
Don't think "I should go for a run at some point," think "I am going for a run now/at this specific scheduled time".
Constantly remind yourself of what you're going to do, convince yourself that it's going to happen before you do it.

If you need some sort of safety net to avoid going crazy, allow yourself a piece of cake on Saturdays or something. You'll be able to keep it up for a lot longer if you deal with it one small section at a time - "I just need to make it until Saturday". Then on Sunday, you get ready to take on another week.
But food is NOT a reward for your efforts. If you eat junk, it's simply to avoid going crazy and binging later down the line. If you don't feel like you NEED it to stay sane, don't eat it. It's all about function.
And if you do eat junk, you only eat the bare minimum, you're still not allowed over your calorie limit - at the most, you can hit maintenance. But don't undo any of the work you've done so far.
Again, function. The purpose is to help you keep it up for longer and encouraging moderation, actively setting yourself back by going back to old habits defeats the purpose.

Also, lurk /fit/, build up a motivation folder and educate yourself on how the body works. Knowledge is power.

Pretty much. 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, lifting at least 3 times a week.
But you also need a slight calorie surplus to put on muscle, so if you still want to lose more fat, maybe put muscle gains on the backburner for now.
You can still lift, and you'll still need your protein if you do - in fact, lifting while trying to lose fat will help you retain the muscle you've already got, and ensure it's actually fat you're losing and not just muscle weight. But don't expect to make any significant muscle or strength gains while cutting (you should some 'strength' gains in the sense that you'll likely still be able to lift more each week despite being on a calorie deficit, but that's more due to your body getting used to the movements and becoming more efficient at it rather than actually gaining muscle/strength. 'Noob gains', as they say).

Also, read Starting Strength if you haven't already.

The way I'm doing it is I remove anything in my life that will make my weight situation worse (my situation isn't actually bad, but I was 130 at 5'2" which is pushing it a bit, now I'm 110). I stopped buying any junk food at all, I only buy groceries that are healthy, like soy milk, soy butter instead of regular, wheat bread instead of white, no sugar juices instead of soda, et cetera. Of course, that's not going to take care of all of it, but it's a step.

Added sugar or not, you could stand to cut out the juices, eventually anyway.
Munching on an orange takes a lot longer and is more filling than downing a glass of juice. And while I don't know what you buy, I'd assume it's more nutritious and less calorie dense too.

Walk more. Eat more fruits and veggies. Lift and/or do body weight exercises. Run. Bike to commute. Cut out junk food (note: this may be a process, so start small, such as cutting out all mcdonalds, but still eat wendy's or something, or cut out soda/sugary drinks). Drink only water, tea, and coffee. If you feel the need for alcohol man the fuck up and drink straight vodka. Eat a balanced amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Try to make all carbohydrates complex carbs (do a little research. Brown bread =! whole grain bread). Clean out all junk food from your house (if you live with others who eat like shit, it's going to take more will power for you). Try and only eat fresh foods (a.k.a: learn to cook, start basic. This of course doesn't count for things like bread and such).

As for the diet part, I was in a class that looked at diets from around the world, then pretty much mixed and matched.

And this is honestly the most important part: give yourself some treats. Make it a cheat meal once a week (try not to binge too much on this meal), or a slice of cake with that milk twice a week. Honestly, if you only make it an occasional thing, you'll look forward to it and it will taste that much better when you get it.

As for motivation, at the start it can be anything. Find a goal body, and look at it daily, and if you get bored of that body, find another one. Notice differences as you change and let those motivate you, such as guys talking to you more, more compliments, a new personal record for lifting, or a new time for running a mile. After a while, it gets easier to get motivated. Just stick with it.

Not yet. I signed up for it in June. You don't earn a "wage," if you Google you can learn more. It's more common for office related weight loss (they do "team" competitions) but they have 2 different programs for individuals as well. The free program is the BMI one, where you win $100 (or $1000 if you pay a $300 sign-up bet, there are less expensive bets in between too) if you go from a BMI of 30 to 24 or under in a year. Then there's one where you have to lose 10% of your body weight in 6 months, I think it's $100 to sign up and you win $200.

Kind of unconventional, but here goes. I'm living at home right now and my mom has pretty strict dietary rules. Nothing is really stopping me from going out and eating whenever I want and buying my own groceries, but in the end, I know that whatever she makes is healthier, plus I'm a lazy piece of shit, so I just end up not buying stuff. When I'm out, I'm cheap so I decide "I'll just eat at home." My fridge/pantry is usually empty except for pretty healthy stuff and if I wanted an actual meal/snack, I'd have to work for it because my mom packs everything in little boxes and shit. Going back to the part where I'm a lazy fuck, this prevents me from snacking too much or eating too much. When I get midnight cravings, I'm afraid I'll wake my parents so I just don't even bother.

I used to go out on late-night starbucks runs with my sister, but since she moved down to LA for school and I would look like a fucking loser going to sbux myself, I've lost the motivation to do that either, which is good because those are a fuckload of calories I really don't need.

I think I've lost about five pounds since I moved home. It's not a lot, but I don't move that much either, and I get to stay a comfortable weight without much effort.

Get on my level whores. Today I only ate some crackers and peanut butter. I limit myself to 500 cals a day and burn at least 500 more with exercise. I purge with my daddy's toothbrush in the bathroom sink and if you hate my lifestyle then I'm sure you're just a jellyfat landwhale anon that only wishes they looked like me at 5'9, 104 pounds with DD boobs.

For me it's not so much about motivation, since that comes and goes. It's really about habbits. I always have veggies and lean protein around so there's never an opportunity to eat bad. If I'm out of the house, I make sure to pack good stuff to snack on. My preperation habbits form a routine I follow even when I'm feeling less motivated.

Actually no, as those people age it can and more often than not will catch up to them.

I'm not the OP but I've seen this in real life with a girl I've known since kindergarten. I was always bigger than her even though I lived a much more active life style than she. But as little kids her mother would let us share a pizza, don't ask me the size i can't remember i'd have one or two of the slices and she would get the rest guzzling down soda with it. Growing up she was always a stick. We went to different high schools and didn't see each other for years and year and we just met up again and she has become a land whale despite being more active than she once was. So now even though I am sill over weight (much less so now) I have become the one who weighs less. It is kinda odd.

Not true.
A study done on a group of prisoners showed that certain individuals could not get above a certain weight even though they were being forced to eat over 5000 calories a day and were not allowed to exercise.

Studies conducted since have found the same. Certain people can eat whatever they want and not put on weight.

>>6269977
>Actually no, as those people age it can and more often than not will catch up to them.

Because as they age, their BMR lowers, so eating the exact same shit will cause them to gain weight they previously would have burned of naturally. That is, assuming their appetite doesn't also lower to compensate.

As for your anecdotal evidence, first of all that's one girl, and second you have no idea what the rest of her diet consisted of or how it changed over the years.

Kind of flawed by the fact that the study's purpose was to observe changes in fat cells, and not to actually monitor how different people gain weight.
And they all did gain weight, even if it notes that some struggled more than others.

Whereas all other studies I've seen specifically looking at calories in/calories out back up the theory.

Don't buy unhealthy food, you can't eat it if you don't have it in the house. It's surprisingly expensive, too. Spend that money on fresh meat and veggies instead, get some bananas to fight sugar cravings. You'll get used to not eating that much sugar and really sweet things might even become kind of gross, I don't like sweet things anywhere near as much as I used to.

If you can stick to a diet for a week, it'll be easier to stick to it for two weeks, easier than that to stick to it for a month. Your body will adapt and get used to eating fewer calories. I used to faint if I ate less than 1600 calories in a day, I'm now eating 1000 most days (not even intentionally, I just eat really healthily) and I don't get hunger pangs very often at all.

>> No.6270197

>>6270152
While I agree with this, I also often see it backfire. I'm surrounded by girlfriends who do this and it often results in them bingeing when they find themselves in someone else's house or when someone brings sweets over. I think it's good for the first few months, cause it gets you to get used to healthier habits. However you should have an end goal of becoming more disciplined in general, regardless of whether there is cake in the house or not.

OP, being thin and eating healthy doesn't mean you can never enjoy a slice of cake again. This is the "all or nothing" mentality of the chronically fat and those with EDs or those who spend their life on yo-yo diets. If you wanna eat cake and still be well within your diet, just incorporate it in your daily calorie allowance. If you don't eat more than you burn, you won't put on weight. I'm not saying that you should swap all your meals for cake and eat unhealthy while staying within a low calorie diet of course, that wouldn't be healthy. But the fat person mentality is usually "oh now I ate a slice of cake, well diet is ruined anyway, so today I'm gonna eat everything in sight and diet starts on Monday". Nope, eat a slice of cake and just eat less that day. Eat a slice of cake and then have a less fatty, lower calorie meal fro dinner.

I figured out the main reason I have difficulty keeping motivated to lose weight for more than a month or so.

Basically, I'm poor. My life generally kind of sucks. What I mean by that is that I very seldom get what I want, and when I do it's after 6 months or more of saving and waiting and working my ass off to get it. Most of the other people I know have comparatively easy lives- they still work hard, but the rewards are regular and they have a lot more security than I do. I need a new pair of shoes, my old pair's worn down so much that they hurt my feet like a bitch. I just bought a pair through the mail, and I've needed a new pair for 3 months.

The thing about food is, I get food stamps. The allotment for one person is pretty generous- I can afford to buy good food, not just lentils and ramen. And even the occasional hamburger or something is cheaper than pretty much anything else I want. If I want anything else, I have to wait, but if I want a fucking pizza, I can have it delivered to my home in 30 minutes. If I want to cook and eat a huge pot of vegetable soup, I can do that. When I want to. And it will be awesome.

I don't get to have a regular sleep schedule, I don't get to go out with my boyfriend anywhere fun, I haven't been to the movies in 3 years, and I haven't bought a new book in 6 months, and the majority of the people I see on a daily basis treat me with absolutely no respect... but by god, if I fucking want a dollar's worth of french fries, I can have one.

Will also dump my beef stew recipe here, because it's goddamn delicious, it's filling and it's good for you.

Ingredients (for 2 servings)
200g beef (I use stewing steak)
50g red lentils
half a can of baked beans
2 carrots
half an onion
10ml gravy granules
100ml red wine (cheap shite will do)
2 fresh green chillis
whatever herbs you want to throw in there for taste
pepper

1. Chop yo beef and onions, brown them in the pan with your oil.
2. Mix your gravy granules with 200ml water, pour that in
3. Add your chillis, lentils and beans
4. Add your red wine and herbs
5. Chop and add your carrots last
6. Put the lid on, leave it to simmer at a low heat for 20-30 minutes while you clean the kitchen or something

Tada, you have stew. Easy to make, decent protein to calories ratio, not too many carbs. You could also try making a chicken version by replacing the beef with chicken, the beef gravy granules with chicken gravy, and the red wine with white wine.

Sex doesn't actually burn that many calories unless you're having sex for like an hour or so.

I mean, comparatively, it burns a lot of calories for the amount of time it takes, but generally the average sexual encounter doesn't last long enough for you to actually lose weight from sex alone unless you're fucking like 5 times a day.

For me, it's not about motivation, it's about habits.
I've made a habit out of eating fiber bread after every meal and snacks so I can digest it faster. Just like I've made a habit out of preparing a large bowl of raw carrots every evening before I go to bed, that I can eat when I get home from work the next day.

Am currently trying to get used to taking my bike to the central train station, to and from work now. Since I've only got time to go to the gym once a week now, I figure that could definitely help.

I haven't fully managed to get rid of my unhealthy habits. I still find myself buying snacks every now and then, but it's not like it used to be. I only eat that stuff when I'm bored, so I just gotta stay active.

Ephredrine, or ECA stack is probably the easiest to obtain depending on where you are at. It's a beta 2 antagonist which helps you burn fat about 5% better and it's very cheap to run. Probably one of the safest weight loss supplements to run, google around.

As for albuterol, it's by far one of the most effective weight loss supplements with the least side effects. You can find them under the name Ventorlin in alldaychemist.com. They charge a flat shipping fee so get enough for a cycle or two. Also look at the pic.

Go to /fit/ and read the sticky and pick up weight lifting and do steady cardio. With Albuterol, a proper diet and some actual weight lifting. Your body fat will melt off in less than a month and you'll look amazing faster than anyone else.
