Get skinny if fat from childhood?

[kedwyn]

Everyone is different so quoting a set caloric intake as a rule is wrong. You need to find what your proper level is and go from there. I'd start with around 1400 or so calories but the trick to it is instead of eating 2 meals a day you should do a diabetic diet and stretch them out to 4 or 5 smaller meals. Get in the habit of eating smaller things more often and this will give your stomach time to shrink back to a normal size. It also helps keep your intake level through the day keeping you from getting super hungry and pigging out.

Most of it is mental. Most people eat until they are full or eat / snack if they are bored. The hardest thing to get used to doing is eating until your no longer hungry, not full. There is a difference.

Also try drinking a large glass of water BEFORE you eat. This will also help fill you up a bit.

Losing weight is very simple math. Calories in - calories burned = fat/weight loss.

If you stick to it and count your calories and watch the weight loss you will get to your goal. I suggest not going to fast and try adjusting your system and intake to keep the loss to safe levels. No more than 15 pounds a month preferably 10.

Expect to hit a wall after your first 15 -20 and it may take a week of hovering around the same or slightly higher weight to see another drop. That is normal.

Try and not weigh yourself every day. Especially as a female your body will try and horde water at certain times of the month and this will affect your weight. So once you get your comfortable calorie intake down stay off the scale and check the weight once every week.

Good luck. You can do it.

I'm so manly I don't even have nipples, let alone areolas. I'm certain I don't know what you're talking about.

Alright I just got back from the gym.

I walked in and did a very, very sloppy 300 flat with a spotter behind me. Although he never put a hand on the bar I would not feel comfortable doing this by myself in an empty gym. Sorry FOH I'm not going to put my health at risk to prove a bunch of people I'll never meet irl on the internet wrong. It would probably take me around two or three weeks to get it better.

Anyways since I'm backing out of proving that I won't hold Tuco to his ban-bet but I will try and get video of me doing 225 9-10 times. Right after the 300 I did 225 9 times, took a breather and did 9 more so I will strive for 12 but I'm only stating 9 as the minimum.

-edit-

I also weighed myself (first time in about 2 months or so) and it was 146. I'll get a picture of the scale beforehand.

I can also expand more backstory. At 18 when I graduated high school I weighed 120 pounds. I played hockey since 5th grade so I was already in pretty decent shape but I wasn't exactly in great shape. I believe I started out at 95 pounds as my standard benchpress weight. I remember my next stop-point being at 225 pounds maximum. At this time I believe I weighed about 135. Once I cleared that hurdle I then moved to about 145 at which point I have made the decision to stop adding muscle mass. So yeah I don't know why whoever the fuck that was was nerdraging so badly about all this but thats the story.

What's the ratio of high school 140 pounders benching 300, ya think?

I'd love to hear you discuss how many skinny and small buck fifty guys were pushing 300 on the bench in your school. None in mine were, and I went to a huge school in SoCal. In order to hit 300 you have to work out and add mass. Unless you are a midget, basic physics says 'nyet'.

Perhaps you were the exception to the rule and were able to bench without having any said extra mass. Excuse me if I and most others who lift think that's BS. I tend to ignore outlandish claims on the 'Net.

Tenks, how tall are you?

Hey guys. I just got back from fucking Kim Kardashian with my 11 inch black cock. I am a white guy, yet my penis is actually black.

I have no pictures or proof of any kind. Just take my word for it k?

edit: oh by the way I lasted 3 hours without blowing my load. Then I wen't and squatted 600lbs 25 times. I weigh 190lbs and have 3 bad discs in my lumbar spine.

No proof of any of this either, but I swear it happened.

That's a lot of words to spell 'I'm a bitch.'

I'm starting to think someone got picked on just a tad by the jocks in high school

[Big W Powah!]

Heh; holy fuck.

This thread took off.


James; Stop stalking me. I already told you; NO GAY SEX.

As for the person that mentions running; I actually have a Treadmill my wife made us pick up, I've been using it recently.

I am dieting, though my caloric intake is around 1650 a day, which according to the doctor I shouldn't dip below if I'm actually running daily.
I'm proud to report 2 lbs the first week.

You fuckers want a large ass before pic?

If you're 5'10 - 5'11 and around a 145, I have a hard time swallowing that you can bench 300. Same deal as Ancient.

Not saying it's impossible, just saying it's tough to believe

Benching is all about your chest and tri's. Most guys that size tend to have little there.

[Tenks]

Sounds good BigW. Make sure to find a routine that works for you. I think thats the #1 most overlooked aspect of fitness is people never stop to say "Am I enjoying this?" If the answer is no then you'll probably stop doing it eventually. I personally detest to run on a treadmill. I cannot stand it for the life of me. So I do my cardio in different ways.

Well exercise is probably my #1 hobby in my life. I never pick up or do anything unless I go at it 100%. Imagine if you played WoW since release every single day for hours and you were decked out in greens and blues. It is kinda that deal. Lifting weights give me focus, energy and relieves all my daily stress. I have been doing this for 6 years averaging probably 5 45minute lifting sessions a week that entire span. You get to a point where you have to make a decision to tough it out and keep at it or go the easy route and take supplements/drugs/steroids. I took the hard road and the result is a very compact body with very strong muscle fibers that can do this. You are confusing people who workout with meatheads that do it for MORE BULK!!! and as a result have alot of muscle but relatively weak muscle. I know what I'm preaching may seem difficult to swallow and I don't blame you. If you told the 18 year old Tenks that in 6 years I'd be where I'm at there is no way I'd believe that shit. Even at the gym (my gym is a company gym so it's just co-workers) I'll occasionally get asked my weight or how much I'm lifting. Not one person has ever guessed my weight correctly (I generally get told between 165 and 180.)

I'm taking a step back from this thread because it seems to of gotten hostile for some reason and I blame that '08 dicklick for it. I'm honestly not bombastic about my form because I find it douchey. Just like someone who is naturally talented at the guitar and has practiced their ass off to master it can come off as a douche when talking about their passion I know it can happen with me as well. I have nothing to gain by lying to FOH about this. As Ancient has said it is possible. I'm blessed with fantastic genetics to allow me to accomplish this and a passion for it. Nothing more.

I wrestled, does that count as a jock? Or am I still a loser who is jealous of your Kate Moss physique?
