Congrats! How much did you lose if you're willing to share?

30 ish pounds so far. Got another 30 to lose before I'm done, and I've started lifting so it's being replaced by muscle. If I don't make my goal weight by December 31 because I'm too stronk, I'm gonna call it a win.

Apparently it's having a significant impact on my appearance already, and I sure feel better about basically everything all the time.

that takes a lot of willpower and i am proud of you

I'm actually disappointed by how little effort it's taken to get this far. Like, I was expecting agonizing battles with my base instincts but it turns out it's mostly just "you already had a slice of the company birthday cake today, no cookies for you, eat your tasty small chicken pita and drink a protein shake and feel good you dope." One of the big problems that's been keeping me fat is memory holing previous eating or justifying serious regular binges as minor indulgences. I'm just lucky that my heart and blood pressure have always been remarkably healthy for my weight, and that I caught this poo poo when I was relatively young.

Also gym folks are really friendly and a lot of them like teaching newbies and if I'd known that lifting was just JRPG grinding at a younger age I'd probably be a professional powerlifter now.

But thanks ya wonderful goons, the support is truly appreciated and y'all rock. :kimchi: I'll dig up a photo of my fat bastard former self for thread content soon.

Keep it up, you're doing great. Honestly, I could use better diet habits too, even if I'm not fat yet. Gonna not snack anymore today or tomorrow.

Snacking's a weaning thing. Snack smaller and less efficiently until you just sorta let it go. Cut it off cold turkey and your brain will turn it into a reward mechanism that it will abuse like hell.

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.

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 than 10% of your daily sodium

Diet soda still fucks your eating and drinking habits up though

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!

Why do all fat nerds have piggy noses? Like I see tons of fat people with normal noses but as soon as they have a fedora and neckbeard, their nose is like 100% nostril. It's loving weird

Poor camera skills make any face AUG. Slightly high angle, 3/4 shot and slight neck extension and literally any face can look halfway to okay.

Holy gently caress I've never seen such an in-depth attempt to disguise a weak jawline. He's got a three-fold bloatee going on and it's doing nothing for him.

how poo poo does your life have to be to get jealous of the imaginary man who gets to sleep with your imaginary daughter in 20 years.

American media has a really weird thing where it basically makes male dad characters' (ex-)wives and daughters into the same entity. And then that gets overlaid with the tendency to sexualise the gently caress out of every female character in media. It leads to this weird state where American men believe that they're entitled to their daughters in some weird quasi-incestuous ownership thing that just gets weirder and more worrying the more you think about it.
