| Posted: 17 Jan 2021 03:11 PM PST I read a lot of stories about friends or family members who are supportive when you tell them you want to lose weight, but end up being mean / bitter / jealous of you when you actually do lose weight. While this is a problem, I'm truly happy to have friends that have actively encouraged me and still continue to do so. I was the heaviest of my friends by far at 215 lbs, all of my closest girl friends are between 100-150 pounds. Despite this, my weight has never been an issue, and we all love fashion / cooking together / sports. While I would make some jokes around my own weight, they never said anything hurtful to me, and regularly complimented my beautiful features. When I told them about getting serious with my diet and exercise, they were nothing but supportive. They gave me recipes and sent me fun workout videos, they asked me about how my days were going, or if I needed any tips. When I began to lose they made sure to cheer me on. I've lost 30 lbs so far, and have about 30 more to go. They are so proud of me, and make sure to encourage me when I'm down. The other day my best friend showed me a picture of myself from last year, and told me how much my face has changed, and that I should be proud no matter what. Though the holidays took its toll, I won't let it stop me. I won't let myself down, and I know I will always have the people I love by my side. [link] [comments] |
| I am finally back to a ‘normal’ weight for the first time in 7 years!! Posted: 17 Jan 2021 04:20 AM PST I was a chubby kid. I think the last time I was a normal weight was when I was around eight, but I hit puberty early and suddenly it all went on. It was quite hard for me, being a UK 36E by the time I was 12, and as a result I ate my feelings. I'm now 15 and in September I decided to do something about it, when I realized my bmi was 0.001 points off being categorized as obese (13st 4lb or 189lbs). I started counting calories slightly obsessively but it felt like it took forever to lose that first stone (it didn't, it took just about two months I think). Anyway, today I calculated my BMI and it is 24.4, putting me in the 'normal' weight bracket for my height (5'6" and the weeniest bit under 11st or 153lb). YAY!!!!!! This feels like a huge freakin' achievement :D [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2021 02:36 PM PST I (25F/5'5") started trying to lose weight (SW 191.2 GW 145) in June after I got engaged, but I couldn't find a regime that worked. I restricted calories to unhealthy lows, was doing cardio out constantly, was water fasting. None of that worked for me. I felt especially bad for my weight since I had been vegan for years. I was always asked "how are you overweight as a vegan?" Oreos, that's why lol. I took a break and instead worked on my mental well being. On the advice of a doctor, I started back up in October on vegan keto, 3 day/week cardio with weights. And y'all. It finally worked for me. I saw the weight falling off, I wasn't miserable, and I was finally proud of myself. Little 1-pound increases or week-long plateaus stopped bothering me; I finally learned that weight loss is the long game. This morning, I stepped on the scale to see 167.6 pounds... down 23.3 pounds, or 12.2 percent of my body weight! I also dropped four inches. This means I am 50% there! I am so excited! I'm 18 pounds away from a "normal" BMI! I want to thank everyone who has posted here. You have given me the confidence to keep going. Y'all inspire me every day. 🔥 [link] [comments] |
| This is for anyone who is just starting their weight loss journey. Lost 40lbs so far! Posted: 17 Jan 2021 10:21 PM PST Hope everyone is doing well! I am going to give you the best possible advice on how to lose weight. This is basically what I learned from my experience: First thing you gotta do is look at yourself in the mirror and wake up. That is what I did and I cried because I realized how overweight I was. This prompted me to do something about it because I don't want to lose my life (I used to have heart problems). After I realized the true danger of being overweight, I developed a plan on what to eat and what not to eat. I spent countless hours researching healthy foods and you should too. Also, download the MyFitnessPal app because it will tell you exactly how many calories you need to eat a day to lose weight. Exercise helps tremendously too. It's really all in how many calories you consume that determines how much weight you lose. I used to eat well over 4000 calories a day, now I eat 1500. Working out even just 20 minutes a day helped me take control of my temptations. The secret to losing weight is that there is no secret. You just have to make sure you eat the right amount of calories and to exercise. Consistency is key to success. If you fail, its okay! I failed many times while I was losing the 40lbs. Do not let 1 failure discourage you, or convince you that it is hopeless. As far as general tips go, make sure to stop eating sugary foods, greasy foods, sodas, and overall just unhealthy food. Instead, eat protein rich foods, like grilled chicken, fish, etc. Vegetables are the best foods you can eat because they are low in calories and rich with vitamins. You should also start eating more fiber rich foods like beans for example. You can still eat sandwiches just be mindful of what you put in them. Drink LOTS of water, this will help you stay full and it is also good bloating, which is not good. Now I cant stress this enough.. DONT BEAT YOURSELF UP FOR MAKING A MISTAKE. We all have a bad tendency to make mistakes, thus we convince ourselves that we might as well give up entirely. You do not have to be perfect to lose weight, just keep trying and be honest with yourself. If you cant do that, you will not lose the weight. Just count your calories, eat REAL food, exercise at least 3 times a week, drink plenty of water before and after a meal, don't give up entirely if you make a mistake, and be consistent. If you do these things, I promise you will lose the weight. Download the Myfitnesspal app and download the Calory app so you keep track of your calories. "Suffer the pain of discipline, or suffer the pain of regret. The choice is yours to make." I hope this information is useful. Keep on being you!!! [link] [comments] |
| Update: So I’m still Prediabetic, but... Posted: 17 Jan 2021 07:28 PM PST A little over three months ago in November, I posted here that I'd been officially diagnosed with PCOS and Prediabetes and would need to make some serious lifestyle changes. Last week, I got bloodwork done again, and the test results showed I went down from an A1C level of 6.2 to 6.0. A level of 6.4 is considered full-blown diabetes. Less than 5.7 is considered normal levels. So I'm not out of the woods yet, but progress has definitely been made. In addition to my A1C levels going down, I've been eating way more veggies, way less sugar and carbs (though yesterday I kinda splurged and ate cheese naan as a special treat), and have lost a solid 20lb. When I first posted about my diagnoses, I was 207lb at 5'5" and felt pretty distressed yet determined not to let this snowball into something I couldn't come back from. I'm now 187lb and moving further and further away from that terrifying point of no return. To see the needle tilting in the opposite direction after pushing so hard is such an incredible relief. I still crave carbs and sugar (though not anywhere nearly as much as I used to), and I need to incorporate more physical activity into my daily routine. But the fact I've made it this far still feels like an accomplishment. I hope to continue staying the course :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2021 06:47 PM PST Actually, more like an awesome couple of weeks. I opted to get my hair cut about two weeks ago. My hair dresser (who I haven't seen in about a year) went on and on about how amazing I looked and how much weight I've lost (I don't exactly like when people comment on my body, but it was a nice thought). A regular customer who comes into my job fairly often came in and I happened to see her. Since my promotion, I don't deal with customers much at all so it was the first times I've seen her since October when I started losing weight. She said I looked much thinner and it was good for me that I've lost so much weight. And then today, the older woman who works at my job asked me if I lost weight. After I told her yes, she congratulated me. She's the sweetest old lady anyway, but the way she went about it was decent. For context, I've gone from 265.5 to about 225. I still have a long way to go and I feel like it isn't noticeable in the slightest! This really reminded me that I'm doing a good thing for myself. [link] [comments] |
| Another friendly reminder to BE KIND TO YOURSELF for those who need it :) Posted: 17 Jan 2021 03:00 PM PST 28/F/5'8 SW: 200 CW: 162 GW: 135 Quick backstory: In 2019 I went from 200 pounds to 149 pounds. This sub was amazing and a massively contributing factor in my journey. The pandemic hit and my entire routine fell apart. I missed the gym. I started gaining and hit 171 and realized I needed to change my routine to work with this pandemic because it's not ending anything soon. So that leads us to now: This kind of an update and kind of a new post. Feel free to creep my profile if you're interested in the last two. First, I made a post about falling behind/out of routine because of the pandemic. Essentially the message was, make a new routine around the new normal we live if you're old routine has fallen out of place. If you've succeed before you can succeed again just maybe through some different methods (like for me home workouts because I can't go to the gym). I vowed to start counting calories and exercising again. The next post was about being kind to yourself. I explained how I did in fact make a new routine and start succeeding again. But, after the new year it started to fall apart and I was really crude to myself in my head. I encouraged everyone to be kind to yourself. Know that it's a journey. Don't let yesterday's "failures" put you in such a state/mood that it bleeds into the mood of a new day where you can find success. So here I am again: be kind to yourself! Since my last post, I have implemented my new mantra and I have been kind to myself. I haven't worked out, logged food, or weighed since January 8th. I did kind of mentally log and was mindful of what I ate but it was a busy week and I was distracted from my goals. I wasn't mean to myself. I went about my week. Today is the start of my work week and I thought "I should go ahead and weigh, I'll workout after work today" I weighed myself and I've lost 3 more pounds since the 8th when I last weighed. I was ecstatic, this makes 9 pounds lost since 12/20. The biggest thing that stuck out to me though is that I didn't have the usual thoughts like "you have to get back on track" "you have to workout today" "you failed again and now you have to start over" I just naturally went about life last week, and I naturally desired to swing back into my routine this week without having to berate myself into it. So be kind to yourself. It's ok if you're routine gets shaken up, you'll swing back into it. I also think that last week I was able to still lose with CICO because despite that I wasn't logging, I was "intuitively eating" better simply because I wasn't consumed with telling myself I'm "failing" because I was having an off week. Anyway, this is just a friendly reminder that being kind to yourself will make you're journey easier. It will make you love yourself more. It will help you to more naturally implement the lifestyle change you're making for yourself. If you wouldn't treat a friend the way you're treating yourself, you might be being too harsh on yourself. You outlook is everything! [link] [comments] |
| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Monday, 18 January 2021? Start here! Posted: 17 Jan 2021 09:31 PM PST Today is your Day 1? Welcome to r/Loseit! So you aren't sure of how to start? Don't worry! "How do I get started?" is our most asked question. r/Loseit has helped our users lose over 1,000,000 recorded pounds and these are the steps that we've found most useful for getting started. Why you're overweight Our bodies are amazing (yes, yours too!). In order to survive before supermarkets, we had to be able to store energy to get us through lean times, we store this energy as adipose fat tissue. If you put more energy into your body than it needs, it stores it, for (potential) later use. When you put in less than it needs, it uses the stored energy. The more energy you have stored, the more overweight you are. The trick is to get your body to use the stored energy, which can only be done if you give it less energy than it needs, consistently. Before You Start The very first step is calculating your calorie needs. You can do that HERE. This will give you an approximation of your calorie needs for the day. The next step is to figure how quickly you want to lose the fat. One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of fat per week you will need to consume 500 calories less than your TDEE (daily calorie needs from the link above). 750 calories less will result in 1.5 pounds and 1000 calories is an aggressive 2 pounds per week. Tracking Here is where it begins to resemble work. The most efficient way to lose the weight you desire is to track your calorie intake. This has gotten much simpler over the years and today it can be done right from your smartphone or computer. r/loseit recommends an app like MyFitnessPal, Loseit! (unaffiliated), or Cronometer. Create an account and be honest with it about your current stats, activities, and goals. This is your tracker and no one else needs to see it so don't cheat the numbers. You'll find large user created databases that make logging and tracking your food and drinks easy with just the tap of the screen or the push of a button. We also highly recommend the use of a digital kitchen scale for accuracy. Knowing how much of what you're eating is more important than what you're eating. Why? This may explain it. Creating Your Deficit How do you create a deficit? This is up to you. r/loseit has a few recommendations but ultimately that decision is yours. There is no perfect diet for everyone. There is a perfect diet for you and you can create it. You can eat less of exactly what you eat now. If you like pizza you can have pizza. Have 2 slices instead of 4. You can try lower calorie replacements for calorie dense foods. Some of the communities favorites are cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash in place of their more calorie rich cousins. If it appeals to you an entire dietary change like Keto, Paleo, Vegetarian. The most important thing to remember is that this selection of foods works for you. Sustainability is the key to long term weight management success. If you hate what you're eating you won't stick to it. Exercise Is NOT mandatory. You can lose fat and create a deficit through diet alone. There is no requirement of exercise to lose weight. It has it's own benefits though. You will burn extra calories. Exercise is shown to be beneficial to mental health and creates an endorphin rush as well. It makes people feel *awesome* and has been linked to higher rates of long term success when physical activity is included in lifestyle changes. Crawl, Walk, Run It can seem like one needs to make a 180 degree course correction to find success. That isn't necessarily true. Many of our users find that creating small initial changes that build a foundation allows them to progress forward in even, sustained, increments. Acceptance You will struggle. We have all struggled. This is natural. There is no tip or trick to get through this though. We encourage you to recognize why you are struggling and forgive yourself for whatever reason that may be. If you overindulged at your last meal that is ok. You can resolve to make the next meal better. Do not let the pursuit of perfect get in the way of progress. We don't need perfect. We just want better. Additional resources Now you're ready to do this. Here are more details, that may help you refine your plan.

| Posted: 17 Jan 2021 09:09 PM PST And not going to lie, I'm scared. Not about the workout, but I'm scared I'll fail. I always try to workout and creat a habit and it's never happened. But idk maybe it is different this time. I am fully committed with the trainer thing and also am going to look up meal prep and do that tomorrow. I'm around 225-230, 5'4 female. My goal is to get down to 180 by June for my birthday. I guess if you've read this far, some encouragement and words of wisdom would be appreciated. I tore my ACL and meniscus in 2016. I did have surgery to fix them, but the PT cost too much so I only got so much rehab. I also compete in Scottish Highland Games, and would like to start training for that, so lifting.

| Posted: 17 Jan 2021 11:51 PM PST This is a rant/ cry for help... I'm unable to cope with stress. My first response to stress is eating food. I don't even know when I started doing that, because as a child and in my early teenage years I definitely wasn't overweight or eating as much as I am now. Now at 24 I cannot cope with stress unless I'm eating or completely ignoring the stressful thing. Is anyone else the same? I'm always so disappointed in myself, because I know that eating chocolate won't make my life easier and it won't change anything. How do you Guys cope with stress? Has anyone had the same problem and has been able to change this habit? [link] [comments] |

| Today was set up to fail. I found out the problem. Posted: 18 Jan 2021 02:31 AM PST Hi folks, just another new year's resolution trodding along here. Today, I did not work out. I also did not eat below my maintenance threshold. I did some forensics, and I realized what went wrong. I skipped breakfast. More importantly, I was out of my routine. On a week day, I get up at the crack of dawn, make myself breakfast, and class begins soon after. When class is done, I hop on my exercise bike, take a shower, and eat lunch. I study until 6, make dinner, enjoy my free time, and sleep. But today, my friends, was part of a holiday weekend. On holidays, I wake up, browse reddit for too long, wait until my bladder yells at me to get up, then I end up binging one of a few hobbies. I lose track of time, and by the mid-afternoon, I tell myself I don't want to break my focus, so I order food. I eat more than my body understands because it's already in a fasting state. I get hungry not long after, my stamina is depleted from my fun day, and I don't want to exercise anymore. I eat dinner, feel like it's not enough, and suddenly there's snacks. Oh look, we hit maintenance calories. At least there wasn't excess calories. At this point, I just feel a mixture of tiredness and a light layer of general anxiety. Getting to sleep tonight is difficult (hence the post). I've come up with a list I put in my food diary, and I'll just copy it here in case it's helpful to anyone. I'm using today as a learning lesson. What I see:
And some general ideas to help me this week onwards: -prepare some greek salad, with cucumbers, tomatoes, and vinegar. I could eat that all day for a snack or veggie side -learn how to meal prep a crazy amount of burritos -exercise before lunch -more soda alternatives like fizzy water & kombucha -planning some interesting dinners should excite me as much as take-out -preload MFP with tomorrow's breakfast so I have a meal to look forward to instead of lazy morning brain [link] [comments] |
| Need help - fiancee is having a hard time Posted: 17 Jan 2021 10:27 AM PST Hey everyone, I've been a long time lurker of this sub, my fiancee has lost about 80 lbs in total and has finally hit her goal weight. She's been monitoring her food and exercising for over 5 years and is having a hard time now that she's hit her goal. I recently made her buy clothes as it was all oversized. For the first she's got clothes that fit properly and make her feel confident but she struggles a bit with how to eat more calories, not feel guilty over it etc. She's in the UK and a few hours ago she made a post on this subreddit, it was up for 2 hours, asking for help/guidance/wanting to feel like she's not alone. Here's comes the issue, a troll told her she's still overweight and shouldn't stop trying. Naturally it crushed her spirits as it had been 2 hours up. She deleted the post and is a little down now. If anyone can comment nice things, I can show this to her and maybe give her the courage to post again. She had posted on r/progresspics and got a lot of positive reinforcement about a week ago but still struggles like I'm sure most of you do. I want to help her any way I can. TLDR; A troll on this subreddit insulted my fiancee and told her she still needed to lose weight, she deleted the post and is feeling down. Comment nice things to show her. Edit: her post on r/progresspics [link] [comments] |
| Anyone worried about gaining once COVID restrictions are lifted? Posted: 17 Jan 2021 06:30 PM PST I am dreading going back to "normal." My friends like to drink and eat out a lot as socialization. Or have movie and game nights revolved around unlimited food. I worry that all my habits have been developed in a world free of temptation and I won't be able to enjoy socialization without struggling with food issues. Today my BF dropped off lunch for me at work. I didn't know what he was picking up and it turned out to be Popeye's. A single chicken sandwich and small fries ended up being almost my entire daily calorie limit. It was so shocking after not eating out in close to a year. How are you planning on adapting to a post-COVID world with increased temptations? [link] [comments] |
| I've lost 15 pounds ... And I don't feel any different SW:203lb CW:186lb GW:140lb Posted: 17 Jan 2021 02:34 PM PST I've been successfully dieting for the first time in my adult life (26yo) and I've lost 15 pounds from my highest weight. When I see pictures of myself at my highest weight, I can tell that my face doesn't look the same, but when I look in the mirror I just feel like ... Me. My stomach doesn't feel any smaller - in fact it feels bigger because I can grab it more easily. How do you deal with staying motivated when you don't feel any different? I feel like I'm only having on-scale victories and not NSVs. I think this is part of the reason I gained so much weight in the first place - even though my pant size was going up, I still felt the same. [link] [comments] |
| When the veggies become better than fast food Posted: 17 Jan 2021 06:41 PM PST Back in ye ol days of October I went on a mushroom foraging class with some classmates. And of course, there was a snack break. And ond girl brought hummus and carrot sticks. I was craxy jealous. I genuinely thought "I'll never be able to do that" While I still believe carrot sticks are crazy gross. I can officially say I haven't just had one cucumber and hummus meal, but multiple. Whenever I want a crunchy snack, I go there. Multiple times for breakfast, snack, even as a replacement for binging on chocolates I can eat cucumbers and hummus. BUT it comes with the added benefit of me being a smug asshole about it. Because guess who finds typically healthy boring food good now, idiots. This same phenomena happens whenever I eat something I used to think I'd never be able to enjoy. I had salad in a wrap, normal salad, peas and carrots and noodles without it literally dripping in sauce But on the flip side, I'm also starting to see improvements. It started with Skittles. I've gained some vegan friends, but I like to offer food whenever people come over, so I bought them skittles. But it quickly turned into an oh no, I'm binging on these skittles, but somehow, someway. They started giving me a headache. Like a really bad headache. And you know how people get that thing with alcohol where they just can't drink it anymore, that's skittles now But I've also started realizing other things. Chocolate doesn't make me feel good, neither does anw, which I used to eat at least once a week. Eating four donuts is actually much much worse compared to eating just one, or even half of one. I can actually feel my actions shifting since I've figured this out. I'm genuinely not into fast food anymore, not like I used to be. Even when old habits take over and convince me I'll like it, I tend to rethink the decision afterwards. Cause I don't feel good. Just as a side note, a huge part of why hummus and cucumbers are so great is that they're easy as hell to prepare and store in advance. You just take a whole cucumber and slice it up, put them into a reusable container. Take a piece of paper towel, wet and squeegee it. Put it on top of the cucumbers and put it on top of the hummus in the fridge. It's lasted up to two weeks, I've always eaten them by then, so no clue on max shelf life. It's also super affordable since an entire cucumber is $1 and hummus (which lasts 4 cucumbers) is $4 (Apparently making your own is also easy and cheap). And then I put it in the front of my fridge. I'm also starting to get slightly bored of my hummus, so lmk if there's any other spreads you reccomend for cucumbers [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 17 Jan 2021 04:23 PM PST I (20M/6'0) have achieved my first goal on my journey and I feel incredible! On Christmas my family had told me I looked like I gained the "freshman 15". I felt demoralized and checked the scale and what I saw astounded me. 296 LB. the "freshman 15" was more of a "Junior 65" in my case. Since then, I have maintained a 1,000 calorie deficit every day and I clocked in today at 284.4. 10 Pounds gone! I still have a LONGGGG ways to go but reading all of your guys' (and gals) posts and tips has helped tremendously and it is almost like a game with how competitive I am. I didn't know where else to post this but I thought I'd send some appreciation your way. Thanks all! [link] [comments] |
| One month of progress. My struggle to stay on the wagon! Posted: 18 Jan 2021 02:21 AM PST So I wanted to get into shape december last year and though i've wanted to quit, small progress has been made. Pic! (Subtle body change) I've learned to not miss a day if I can help it, because quitting and giving up gets easier once the snowball starts. I miss one day, what's another three? I feel like mental strength and determination needs to be practised in my life. I know I can be a really lazy person, so I have to just make myself exercise even when i'm not in the mood. Food wise, i'm not too bad but being stuck at home makes it hard to not recreationally eat. I need to find things to do. But anyway, one month of a journey is a solid step! Don't give up!

| Accountability post. 31F, 5’7, 187lbs Posted: 17 Jan 2021 08:13 PM PST Hello everyone! The standard started gaining weight after high school due to decreased activity and depression. Did diets before to lose weight, always lost a few and gained them back since it wasn't a life style change that I stick with. Since July 2020 I have lost 38lbs. I was at 225. I lost that through strict calorie counting and increased activity. The past couple of months I gained back 15lbs bringing me up to 187. I'm extremely bloated at the moment so will probably lose a few pounds this week just from water weight. ————— Measurements (inches): Bust: 41.5, Waist: 35.75, Hips: 43 Height: 5'7, Weight: 187.4lbs Goals: Firmer booty, slimmer waist, less back fat, less thunderous thighs, around 140lbs ————— 2021 plans: 10k steps a day (Mix of jogging, running, and walking) FitBit will record daily steps - from work I get between 3-4K. Add resistance band, kettle bell, and body weight exercises 4 x week Eat less processed foods/fast foods (limit 2xmonth for dining out) OMAD - or two hour eating period (mostly keto/low carb) I'm writing this accountability post so hopefully I can come back in a week with some results and maybe change up my plan or continue with it if I find my schedule fits it well. Thank you all! [link] [comments] |

I hit week 14 on my weightloss journey and since 2 weeks my weight stayed the same. I think i hit a Plateau which frustrates me! The only thing i changed in those last two weeks was working out more! (I did the Lilly Sabri New Year's Guide, which meant working out 6x a Week for 45-60 minutes) And i really loved doing that. My food intake didn't change i still eat between 1400-1600 kcal/a day. Because of my history with an ED i do allow myself some treats, like dark chocolate (around 40 grams/week) and a selfmade Buger (once a month) to not overly restrict myself too much, but I am scared that I am not doing enough because my weight stayed the same. Does anyone have tips for me? What can/should I change? Thank you! [link] [comments] |

| Just had a brilliant idea to cut down on takeaways Posted: 17 Jan 2021 03:36 AM PST I have felt like a takeaway addict for a long time. I order multiple times a week. Even just cooking a fakeaway wasn't enough sometimes. I'm starting to realise it's like a mental addiction because of the dopamine it gives me just the pure idea of a takeaway. It feels me with excitement at the prospect of eating it even though the food I have at home is perfectly nice. I'm going to start naming my meals after my favourite takeaways and restaurants. So if I'm making a Chinese cuisine I'm going to say ok that's the "magic wok" Chinese place and I'll reference it to that from now on. Or if I'm having a cooked breakfast then I might call it my favourite cafe. It's still early days on this new method but I'm confident it may work. I'll report back to people to share how I got on [link] [comments] |
| I'm 14, male, 173 cm and 159 pounds Posted: 18 Jan 2021 01:05 AM PST I'm 14, 173 cm and 159 pounds My BMI is just under overweight. I want to lose weight but I think it's different for someone my age. Any tips? Should I just eat less calories, or should I work out? Should I do calisthetics or should I use equipment? At the beginning of Quarantine, I was around 140 pounds. To be fair I've also grown like 4 inches, so yknow. I'm not too concerned, I'm not overweight or bad athleticly. I just want to have less body fat, I don't care about being muscular and stuff, just having less body fat. Friend and I are planning to do this routine he did which worked pretty good for him, then he stopped working out and lost the muscle but doesn't matter, he gains quick and so do i. Like with the routine my friend did he got abs in like 2 weeks, and we gain at the same speed. [link] [comments] |
