All the fat people I know share a common "uhg.. I just don't like water" trait. They drink children's sugar drinks all day despite being adults.

Hey, I'm fat, and now you know me! I like water. I drink about...5, 6 liters a day? Just of water.

My problem with exercise is I've got a hip with a bunch of screws and two plates, as well as an ankle with some screws and a plate. The ligaments in my leg don't work right; the muscle is fine, but the ligaments don't stretch the way they're supposed to, which limits the things I can do pretty heavily.

I'm not as bad off as you, but yeah, pins in each hip make things awkward. One of the things my physio guy has me doing is what I[ call burst walking. Not as in going fast, but just doing it in small amounts. Every few hours, I go for a 5-10 minute walk around the building while I'm at work. Easy to rack up my 30 minutes a day that way.

I drink diet pop, thank you very much.

...I'm not helping my case, am I?

Diet soda is loving you up big time. It makes you get used to having the aftertaste of something sweet in your mouth at all times. It also feels like it absolves you of a lot of diet sins when it really doesn't.

Cut the soda.

Also count calories and be real about it. I get to have a double quarter pounder on the regular because I limit my caloric intake elsewhere. Skip the fries and drink because that's a minimum of 300 calories you don't need to waste on bad carbs. You're probably memory holing eating (it's a big problem), so stop doing that.

Basically read YLLS' weight loss thread OP every couple weeks. Shine knows their poo poo.

E: and boost your protein intake. If you're a big guy you'll probably need powders. Optimum Nutrition is really good.

i can never again lift more than 25 pounds since ive had 2 colonectomies but i play soccer 3x a week and walk 6 miles 2 out of the other 4 days

even diet soda has a lot of sodium which makes you retain water. drink only coffee, tea, water and beer

Diet pop is the grossest compromise in the world. I'm in pretty awful shape but I have found it really easy and really rewarding to overcome that and develop a taste for plain rear end water. It's so good once you get into it.

I mean sure rear end water is fine but have you tried tap water?

I hate to say it but... I think you're screwed mate.

(Diet soda is not helping and might also be bad. See for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4590273/
Results and Conclusions

Regarding nutritional benefits, the available studies, while numerous, do not provide proof that the consumption of artificial sweeteners as sugar substitutes is beneficial in terms of weight management, blood glucose regulation in diabetic subjects or the incidence of type 2 diabetes. Regarding nutritional risks (incidence of type 2 diabetes, habituation to sweetness in adults, cancers, etc.), it is not possible based on the available data to establish a link between the occurrence of these risks and the consumption of artificial sweeteners. However, some studies underline the need to improve knowledge of the links between intense sweeteners consumption and certain risks.)

Also this is a weird derail in the AUG thread.

You should get that looked at

I think a lot of people's trouble with water is that they don't like the taste of gross warm tap water, and equate this with not liking water. If you get a good quality insulated water bottle and some form of water filter, it makes all the difference. If the tap water is just total garbage where you live, then buying a few gallons of Poland Spring or whatever (while not amazing for the environment) is still better than buying a single bottle at a time, drinking half, and pouring the rest down the drain. If you always have cold, clean, tasty water available you'll be surprised how much more you drink.

The best thing anyone ever did for me was gift a hydroflask. It's one of the big obnoxious ones. I fill it with ice, and refill it with water throughout the day. That poo poo stays COLD. I've always liked water, will drink it warm, but keeping it ice-cold is a good way to get me to drink a ton of it. I'm not a fat, though, so your mileage may vary.

Stop spreading misinformation.

Controlled studies have shown no difference in bone density loss between carbonated and regular water.

A can of diet coke has 40mg of soda which is less than 2% of the daily recommended intake. Even if you drink 2 liters of soda a day that's less sodium than like... a single slice of cheese

E: also tea/coffee don't make you pee more than water, provided you drink it regularly

Thanks for this. Looked it up once I was at a computer rather than my phone. It's good news for me as I've got terrible bone density/Vitamin D and for a minute there I thought I was sabotaging my own treatment - I bought a SodaStream and basically use it only for carbonating plain water (as do 99% of the people I know who own one) so I drink a LOT of it.

I've been watching episodes of this show while working at home (it's better than Hoarders because that just makes me compulsively clean my room instead of getting work done). Some of the people's attitudes are horrible. Tanitha starts off a two-hour episode talking about years of abuse and then midway through goes completely batshit. And Chuck- he got weightloss surgery, and then his wife got weightloss surgery and he couldn't be bothered to start helping out around the house so she served him with divorce papers and he started crying about his weight. Within a year he was remarried and then that wife left him too, probably when she realized that she would be doing all the work in the marriage. You're right, it's double layers of awful- the visible, physical stuff, and the mental stuff.

I've noticed a real aversion to depicting rolls or folds or love handles or extra chins in haes-style art. Almost like those features are objectively ugly. Huge thighs, big arms, thick necks, sure, but don't touch that waistline or the face silhouette!

I've lost 30 pounds since december now and I have a fitbit, but it's moreso tied to counting calories, eating less, and using that little bit of exercise (30 minutes of walking a day) to push my calorie deficit closer to 1000.

I love snacks and sometimes I gently caress up and eat too much. never over what I burn, luckily, but there have been days where I don't necessarily contribute much to my weight loss. I measure or portion my snacks, and my meals, and I haven't cut out fat or anything really either. I still use butter and I like chicken thighs with skin on, I still prefer whole milk, I have a goddamn lovely mcdonalds burger once in a while. it's a balance. my fitbit helps me keep track of my exercise a bit more, and more importantly allows me to log my food intake more easily.

I drink water most of the time but I like sparkling water (with bubbles more like soda than seltzer/lacroix, cos gently caress seltzer sorry) and have it once in a while.

good luck 2 everyone losing weight!!

e: we are lucky to have wonderful tap water out here and I think that makes a difference. I wouldn't want to buy bottled water lol

PARTY ALL NIGHT

EAT BRAINS ALL DAY


I buy cases of lightly flavored seltzer water and drink almost nothing but those when I'm home. Soda makes me want to barf.

There are a couple people in my office that just mainline 2-3 liters in a work day and it's painful to look at.
According to one of them, it's no worse than the 16 oz. of coffee I have a day because I put half n half in. Even though it's a splash of 2% but whaaaaatever.

My metabolism was always CRAZY good. Until I was 25 I weighed around 145 at 6'. Too skinny, I know but there was nothing more I could have done aside from drinking milkshakes.
Now I'm 30 and am closer to 200. It doesn't show that much but I have no excuse aside from laziness.
