Shirt previously was too large to cover my belly. I just tried the shirt on this morning and its actually a little loose on me now.
I had posted previously about losing weight but that was on keto. All of it came back when I stopped. I'm trying something different now and its working out pretty well combined with seeing a trainer 3-4x a week. I'm down about 30lbs since I started. Still about 100lbs off my target weight, but I'm trying to view it more of a target shirt and pant size than anything else. Trying to do this the healthy way than fad diet way.

I do the same thing but with cosplay outfits

I ran into a similar situation, brought 2 things home and felt like a sausage in them. Instead of returning them, I lost the weight. Do it!
PubstarHero
Yeah, Im also getting my strength back too. I was only able to do like 2 pushups when I started. I can do 3x10 set now easily.
duktayp
yea .... I have a shirt like that : /

Rpstrength on youtube, playlists on healthy eating, fat loss, muscle gain, and moee
PubstarHero
Ill keep that in mind but Im currently following Nutrisystem and letting my trainer kinda dictate everything for me at the moment, but >
PubstarHero
> I know I cant keep at this forever with both of those.
Jatok
Thats fine. The videos are fairly short and easy to watch. Can also help give somr background on what youre trainer is doing. Good luck

Been there and failed. Wish my back was in better shape so I can actually last more than a week trying.

I’ve been using an app called Lifesum to help w/ dieting. It’s not just helpful w/ counting calories but is good w/ macros as well :)
PubstarHero
tbh Ive been using Nutrisystem for the dieting part that comes with an app that tracks everything. I only went with this because>
PubstarHero
> they do have a form of exit counseling to get you off the system when you meet your targets.

Ironically I bought a shirt that fits and worked hard at making not.
RaftinHippy
Dude, same. I bought 5 swimming trunks and my fat as couldn't fit in them. Dropped 70 lbs in 9 months and now I fit in em. You got this!
Mustymuffins
A low carb diet did wonders for me, not strictly Keto. Pair it with daily exercise and it stays off. 6-7 pounds of water weight does come1/2
Mustymuffins
Back pretty much immediately after eating carbs again for me but I consider that my true weight.
PubstarHero
That's more or less what I'm doing but eating smaller meals more often
DanaConti5
What did you decide to do instead of keto?
PubstarHero
This is more a learning to eat properly again thing. Im eating basically 5 small meals and a post dinner snack every day. The problem >
PubstarHero
> with keto is that once you stop, everything comes back immediately. Plus its also hell on your kidneys even if you are pounding water >
PubstarHero
> so this is more so solving the root of the problem of my weight rather than a quick fix.
Dasiana
thanks for posting. I also did keto, did great, then gained it right back when I stopped. I had just been thinking "maybe I should go keto
Dasiana
again" but your way is better. good for you and thank you

Wow! Good job. I did the same with Keto, then not Keto and gained back wayyyy more than I lost. Keep at it and find what works for you.
Gingerwithsomesoul
I just get a different shirt 8(
SonrisaFlores
I'm like this, but my entire wardrobe
PubstarHero
Yeah it would be the same for me if it wasnt a bunch of huge shirts and basketball pants since Ive been WFH since covid started.

Whatever it takes. Enjoy the new flesharmor for your bonemech.
PubstarHero
Im trying to get rid of the flesh armor, but still upgrade the motors.

Ok, I think I speak for everyone when I say we need to see this shirt.
PubstarHero
It was this shirt - https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/685015/final-fantasy-xiv-t-shirt-perfect-alexander-black

Oh.. very nice. This makes so much more sense to me now. Thank you, and good luck!

Any motivation is good motivation. Fuck the haters.

I help my wife diet by always eating half her food.
Miller16of16
That’s the way to do it and make it work for life - exercise and diet, middle path for both. You should be very proud of yourself!
PubstarHero
I honestly dont think I could be doing this though if my GF wasn't doing the same as I was.
Miller16of16
Its tough no matter, but less so when you have a partner. Shared hardship + reward is good for the relationship. Improving health and >

activity level is priceless.
infernopg
Did this with the shell seats in my project car. I knew I'd have 1+ years until I have to sit in them so I chose tight ones. 15kg down now

'Diet' is what you eat. As long as calories out (exercise, manual labor) are less than calories in means you lose weight. Eat more veggies.

Sure... https://www.prevention.com/weight-loss/diets/a28721563/cico-diet/
PubstarHero
Have been. Also stopped eating a lot of empty calories that I was eating as well.
h4p10
But Doritos are delicious!
PubstarHero
Yeah dont remind me ;_;
MrStealUrMeme
You cant out-work a bad diet. Takes 3500 net calories to burn 1LB of fat. Dont be discouraged if ur weight fluctuates each day. That's water
PubstarHero
Im not worried about weight as much as I was before. I'm not dropping as fast as I was, but my muscles are getting more defined >
PubstarHero
> and my clothes are fitting looser. Thats all that matters to me.
AdelineThatsMeYo
its the little things, homie. i'm proud of you. I'm having that struggle right now too...especially cuz i'm newly diagnosed Diabeetus. :(
PubstarHero
If its still early, you should be able to reverse it. If my lazy ass can do this, you can too. I'll admit part of the help was getting >
PubstarHero
> on Nutrisystem. Its completely changed my eating habits. I'm eating less calories yet staying fuller.
AdelineThatsMeYo
Don't you have to pay for that? And doesn't it taste kinda gross? DM me!?
beAbetterperson7
I choose this guys shirt. If it can motivate a person to lose weight in a healthy way, I need it.

It only works if it's the same exact one. Pass it around OP
PubstarHero
It fits now, Im never getting rid of it, sorry. Though maybe when I can finally fit in the XL version Ill give this one out.
GreenNinja22
Under 200lbs for the 1st time in 20+ years. Among other things, cutting WAAAAY back on delicious delicious beer seemed to help in my case
MonsteraDay
The phytoestrogens in beer are not great when you want to get into shape.
GreenNinja22
Aaaaand good for you @op!
butthurtnevergetsbetter
Beer is many carbs. Treat each bottle of beer as a candy bar.
xRHIN0x
Just switch to Vodka it's Keto
Shamorza
"Cutting back on delicious delicious beer" just demotivated me to start dieting.
CrunchyLookingLeaf
Switch to straight spirits.

I had too much of a sweat tooth myself, combined with that sedentary IT life style...
KillingTlme
Red vines and hot tomales are my curse
FelixTheAnimator
Plus redhots.
PubstarHero
why red hots when hot tamales exist?
FelixTheAnimator
I like the texture.
iExplainTheJoke
I can’t buy candy or it’s gone the same day
PubstarHero
I had a nasty habit of eating one of those 500CAL boxes of Mike and Ikes or Hot Tamales like it was nothing...
LompHoofd
those damn sweat teeth!
PubstarHero
Yeah it makes my mouth too watery sometimes.
