I've lost 90lbs this year, so far.
I'm a female, for reference. I'm 5' 6" and I started at 230 and I'm currently at 137~140.

I literally just started paying attention to what I ate.
I learned about nutrition, I started weighing my food, I learned how to into proportions, I kept myself under my TDEE, and I learned to enjoy proper foods.

There is nothing wrong with you. You cannot defy the basic calories in;calories out logic.

If you take in more than you put out, you will gain.
If you put out more than you take in, you will lose.

It doesn't matter when you eat, how much you eat, etc. It comes down to calories. Some of those calories will be nutritionally void. Some of them will be tiny amounts of food (think oils) some of thm will be giant amounts of food (think broccoli or celery).

Hurr durr, reddit, I know. But you should seriously look into /r/fatlogic and look at some of the studies that are posted there. Most of it is just poking fun at stupid logic, but they bring up a lot of good points.

>tfw cannot lose weight no matter how hard I try

If you are eating normal portions of proper food and meeting your daily calorie intake, then you cannot keep gaining weight, it is a physical impossability.

You are not being honest with us, you have to be exceeding your daily intake of carbohydrates/sugars/fats to gain weight, you cannot produce body weight out of nothing.

Do you know how much I weight? I weigh 120 lbs and I am a 5ft10 male, I don't eat enough in a given day to gain weight, I have to gorge myself (often to the point of feeling like I am going to vomit from overstuffing) to gain a few lbs, I sincerely despise anyone who claims losing weight is difficult.

As a fatty. It's difficult adjusting to a new way of living when you have been sedentary for two decades. Mom's cooking and her fear of me being kidnapped enforced my eating habits. Can't leave the house after school because I'll get kidnapped. Played video games and watched TV. When I was bored I would snack on cookies and chips.

OP you just have to watch what you eat. It doesn't matter if you work out like a beast, chances are youll do it wrong and you won't put out as much as you put in. 2000 calories a day.

Breakfast

(Pick ONE)
Cereal with milk
Hard boiled eggs with whole wheat toast and peanut butter
Homemade lowfat quiche (any paleo site has a good recipe)

Snacks (10a & 2p assuming you eat bf at 8a)
(Pick TWO)
greek yogurt (yoplait is a scam it has over 9000 sugar per cup)
handful of peanuts/almost (they have a lot of fat, good fat, but fat. so take it easy)
popcorn (pop it yourself you lazy fuck, shit in the bags is worthless)
grapefruit, oranges, berries
a banana
olives
cheese (small quantities)
a bag of steamed vegetables (jolly green giant makes prepackaged ones that are good and ready in minutes)
tuna (no mayo, get the one in olive oil)

And for dinner just make what you want but:

Avoid frying
Avoid take out
If you're going to get fast food or go to a restaurant I suggest you read 'Eat this, not that'. A lot of hidden gastrobombs. Never order a salad from California Pizza Kitchen if you're trying to lose weight.

Other rules:

DO drink coffee
DO drink warm water with lemon in the morning (it cleans out your gut)
DO drink lots of water (I find loading mine up with ice helps)
DO drink red wine in moderation.
DO drink vodka with club soda if you like to go out.
DO eat baked chips and salsa. Salsa is good for you.
DO eat soup /ck/

DO NOT drink soda. This is super basic. If you LOVE something fizzy just go get fucking La Croix club sodas that are flavored.
DO NOT eat Doritos. If you do, start to wean yourself off and switch to baked potato chips.
DO NOT eat frozen dinners. Lean Cuisines are for bitches and hoes. They don't fill you up for shit. Hungryman meals have too many calories and sodium.

If you can throw in 3 days of doing some cardio, start there. Weight training is superior but I'm not sure where you're at in your fitness.

Be physical as fuck. I didn't cut anything from my diet, in fact I ate more as I worked out more.

Work out, go camping, ride bikes, help people with stuff. I don't know what else to say, just always be on your feet doing stuff. The first few weeks suck but once you get into it your body kinda takes over, you'll wake up and actually want to do stuff.

My fat friend is really jealous but still really fat. Every single day I try to get him out of the house, and every day it's the same "uhhhh.....*sigh*.....I don't know man, I'm tired. Think I'll pass"

I started a manual labor job with shit pay. I was burning calories nonstop ~8 hours a day, and my extremely limited budget made me really think about the food I was buying. Soda, chips, snack foods and already prepared, instant foods are tasty and convenient, but expensive and not as satisfying or filling in the long run.

I was never too fat, I'm 6' and the heaviest I ever got was around 200 lbs. What's nice, though, is that I'm now around 160, which is less than what I weighed through most of high school. I'm toned, too, and this is without any extra exercise or working out.

To any fatasses out there complaining how they can't lose weight and even their doctor can't figure out why, I challenge you to work a real, physically intensive job and still say that a year later. Work in the fields for a farmer, get a job in construction, bus tables, anything that keeps you busy and moving around all day. I guarantee you will drop more weight than you expect without even trying to lose it.

I'm with you, anon. I too am at the end of my rope with this shit. I watch what I eat very carefully. I eat small portions, when I do eat. I swim for an hour a day (and I don't just paddle around, I swim proper laps, as many as I can do in an hour), plus I do yoga and go for a walk in the mornings before I get ready for work. The only fats in my diet are the small amount of oils I use for cooking (avocado oil and rice bran oil, mostly) and the fats naturally found in the foods I eat. I cut all sugar from my diet, except those naturally occurring in my fruits and vegetables. I eat minimal fruits, because of the sugar factor, sticking mainly to apples and pears, and now pomegranates since they're in season. I stay away from breads and pastas completely, but I do eat rice sometimes.
Now, I have had some medical problems that may or may not have contributed to this. I was on courses of prednisone 6 times in the past year and a half, plus an injected slow releasing steroid (for asthma). I just had an ultrasound of my thyroid done, but it came back fine.
But I fee like I'm at the end of my rope, seriously. I went to the doctor the other day, for an unrealated reason, and I got a 45 minute lecture about how I need to lose weight and I'm like NO SHIT, like I hadn't realized that before. The bitch told me to watch the Biggest Loser for inspiration and quit swimming and start running (yeah, that will be great for my asthma) and to do NO strength training at all, because that's bad for me and won't help me lose weight. I haven't been that angry in a long time. I'm still pissed off. Oh, and to use smaller plates when I eat (like I had never heard that before and haven't been doing that already). Anyway, after I get these other test results back, I'm going to start looking at other avenues for help losing weight, like acpuncture and holistic shit, because that's the only thing I HAVEN'T tried yet.

I put on loads of weight due to an injury, I got to around 250lbs in two years, I was a chubber.

Once the knee was better I started simple, I started walking, twice a day (before work and after dinner) I would put a podcast on and just walk, I started at two miles and increased when it became easy, in about a month I was walking 12 miles a day, just walking along listening to my podcast, my main rule was that I HAD to push myself and make myself really sweat each time, rain or shine.

At the same time I cut out the booze completely and any sugary drinks, I watched my calories and carbs and kept them as low as possible and realised I had to deal with the hunger and just ignore it, I became pretty good at that.

After about a month I started adding swimming rather than doing two walks a day, I'd swim for an hour just doing lengths.

After ten weeks of that I was down to around 210lb, it was fucking hard work but it did work. Then I found that the weight loss really slowed and I felt a lot fitter so I started to run every third day, I joined a gym to mix it up even more on the cardio, as with the walking my goal was to push myself and make myself sweat and my heart beat fast. I wasn't going to be one of those people who sits on a bike and just pedal away on level 1.

About a month and a half later I was down to what I wanted to be, I was around 190lb, which for my height and muscular build is perfect for me. Once I was there I looked at my diet and allowed myself to eat some shit food now and again and I allowed myself alcohol. I didn't want to keep losing weight, I wanted to enjoy the food I loved and stay as I was. The way to do that was to keep up the exercise, I'd got into a good routine doing cardio, weights and rest days, and I ate a balanced diet, some good stuff and some of that oh so delicious bad stuff and that's what I still do today. If I have a week where I hit the junk food hard I'll make sure I hit the gym hard too.

That's what worked for me.

I have dropped about 80 lbs over the last 2 and a half years, and have a few thoughts that may help others.

1) when you are fat you are always hungry, and you wonder how the hell people manage to moderate their food intake. For me the solution was to, initially, go on a low carb plan that ignores calories. I realise that the only reason this works is because a low carb plan leads to a calorie deficit, but its easier when you can eat what you want with things like steak and eggs, you basically can do it without being hungry.

2) after a while you will stop losing weight on a low carb diet, the calorie deficit will have become not enough to matter, and all those nuts, avocados & 85% chocolate will negate the diet plan, however at this stage you should be back in control of your hunger, and can now move onto a calorie controlled diet successfully

I dropped 60lbs over two years, and have managed to keep it off for three years since.

I started by making rich foods a once in a while thing. So anything fatty (and/or sugary) became a once a week (or once a month) treat. That included things like fatty meats, eggs and dairy (particularly cheese).

Then I started working out. That was a bitch at first. But I managed to get my ass trained in free weights. I chose kettlebells, because they seemed to give the most result for the least time investment. Bought a few of them, and have been kicking my ass with them at least four days a week ever since. Would recommend this to anyone. In 30-35 minutes you can make your whole body sore, then feel pretty energized for the next couple hours. I feel strong as fuck.

Two years of that had me down about 45lbs. Then I said fuck it, and went vegan six days a week. 15 more pounds came off over the next few months. But I had to learn a whole different style of cooking...

I understand that it can be for many people. I drink fizzy so infrequently and mostly consume water that the very notion of /not/ drinking water is a bit foreign to me, but can imagine how difficult it would be if all you've ever had growing up were colas and things like that.

Do this, then: there are several brands of no-cal/low-cal powdered drink mixes, yeah? Try a few, mixing them with just a little water to make a concentrate then adding that concentrate to carbonated water (soda water, seltzer water or tonic water; whichever you like) in the right quantity until you find a flavour you like.

I'd be surprised if this didn't make it a little easier.

Why? Those fat people have a similar problem as you. You make it sound so hard to gain weight, just like how they claim it's hard to lose it.

How did I lose weight?

I changed my diet to be more balanced overall, without cutting out anything in particular (aside from processed foods, fast food, and soda). I reduced my portion sizes to much smaller amounts and to compensate changed my eating schedule to 5 times a day rather than 3. I started a low impact exercise routine that involves alternating days of cardio and strength training.

I put in the bare minimum of effort and didn't make many changes, but I've lost 30 pounds in the past 4 months and will hopefully continue to do so.

Well, a weight loss thread seems like a good place to ask this question!

Of the two choices that I have, /ck/, which do you believe would be better for me from a weight loss standpoint?

When I pack lunches for work, I'm not sure if I should throw in some cheese or have a glass of milk (both of which would fulfill the "Dairy/Calcium" part of my overall meal)

I drink Skim Milk, so a glass of milk will have less fat than the cheese, but it WILL have more calories, more carbs, and more sugar. Also, I can't help but feel that being a liquid somehow means it is "better" for weight loss than a solid food like cheese. So I'm not sure which is the better choice. Basically:

Milk: 90 calories, 0g fat, 13g Carb, 13g Sugar
Cheese: 60 calories, 4g fat, 0g Carb, 0g Sugar

Oh, the agony of choice. What do, /ck/?

>> No.5909866

>>5909860

It being a liquid has no association with it being better for weight loss. I can make a milkshake, does that mean I'm going to lose weight on my "liquid diet"?

Anyway the cheese will probably be more filling. Not sure why you didn't list the protein but I already know how much they have.

Unless you're lactose intolerant like I am, then if you're that desperate you can just drink milk and feel pregnant and then fart up your entire office.

N-not that that's h-happened or anything.

>> No.5909875

>>5909866

Ah, I forgot protein. I believe milk would be 9g and cheese would be 6g.

I started feeling better about two weeks in, after the intense sugar cravings subsided. By then I had lost a few pounds and found I wasn't so tired. So I moved around more, after about losing 15 lbs I felt even better so I started working out more consistently. The weight slid right off. It was sort of slow, 2 lbs a week sometimes 5lbs a week, but I wasn't hungry. I have lost about 80lbs. The hardest part was kicking the sugar.

Step 1: Stomach Shrinking. Did an ECY stack (Ephedrine, Caffeine, Yohimbine HCL). Convienient side effect was I no longer felt hungry.

Step 2: Removed most sugar and carbs from diet. No soda, no candy, no chips.

Step 3: Intermittant fasting. Was only allowed to eat from 11:30am - 6 pm.

Step 4: Keep a food journal, write down every single thing that goes into your mouth. Enter it in at wolframalpha.com , estimate calorie intake. I shot for 1600 calories.

Step 5: Exercise as much as you are capable, keep improving. Walk if you cant jog, jog if you cant run.

Step 6: Prioritize fats and proteins, protein is the most filling, and calorically the most efficient.

Remember 1 lb of fat, is about 3500 calories. If you want to lose 1 lb you must log a 3500 calorie deficit.

Alcohol contains a lot of calories, but it also takes a lot of energy to break down, so the net gain isn't as large as you'd expect, especially if you're drinking stuff like vodka or gin where most of the calories come from the alcohol itself.

In addition, you get into a sort of rolling hangover, where you don't feel particularly in pain, but you definitely don't have much appetite or desire to eat large amounts.

I'm doing low fat, low to mid carb, high protein, and intermittent fasting.

Stats: Male, 6'0", 210lb. Starting weight: 300lb Janrary, Goal weight: 180.

I eat 2 meals a day in an 8 hour window. I eat most of my carbs on the first meal, then exercise, and then have my protein heavy meal #2. In total, I'm doing about 1000-1200 kcal a day and 45 min of cardio. I'm losing about 3lb a week. I sometimes feel like shit towards the end of my work out.

It's hard to exercise on a big cut like I'm doing, but I'm still pushing through it. I slacked off during the summer and lost a couple of months so I'm trying to make it up right now. On The Biggest Loser, they push you to your limit. So yeah, it's doable. Just 30 lbs / 3 months to go and I'm going to go into maintenance mode. I plan on getting into lifting soon after (I don't want to even bother lifting on a cut). Really looking forward to it.

Then it shouldn't be hard to sort it out with some thyroxine or other hormone, depending on where the deficiency lies.

>Literally who gives a fuck if your fat.

It depends on how fat you are and how your body handles it.

I'm a former morbidly obese person. My blood pressure would shoot up dangerously high 200s. My heart rate would shoot up just walking a few steps. I was constantly out of breath. My shirt would be drenched in sweat just by doing any exertion for more than 2 mins. Knees and back would ache like I had fallen off a ladder. My GERD would almost suffocate me in my sleep etc etc.

In my case, I lost out on genetics and got a shitty body that couldn't handle being fat. Some fat people do remarkably well, but alas, not everyone is fortunate.

So yeah, the point in my anecdote is to advise fatties on here: get checked out by the doc and see how your general health is. If your body is crumbling under all that weight, then you have to lose it, unless you're fine with developing serious health conditions and dying early.
