- Fat people, why aren't you losing weight?

My friend is 300 lbs, she believes in body positivity.

I try not to make fun of fat people because if metabolism wasn't so fast I would be a fat person too. I love eating, and I eat like 4,000 calories a day...yet I am 6' and weigh about 177. I don't know how I'd be able to lose weight if I ever needed to due to my unquenchable thirst for food.
God bless you

Because I want to cultivate mass.

I try not to make fun of fat people because if metabolism wasn't so fast I would be a fat person too. That's what I said until I was around 16 and had to start working because it was catching up with me. When you gradually cut portions you aren't physically able to eat as much without feeling sick.

Miserable people why aren't you trying to be happier? All you have to do is stop seeking out things that make you unhappy I mean obviously it's not as easy as TC makes it out to be, but getting fit also isn't as difficult as you're making out to be.

And I'm a generally animated and active guy all around. I dunno....maybe I should be eating that much because my body knows I'll need it?

Healthy food is more expensive. $6.99 for a basic salad. I can get two donuts and a 30oz cup of soda for $3.
And eating less doesn't make you thin. If you aren't burning calories the fat will stay there. You think of someone starves to death they will burn every ounce of fat first? Of course not, idiot. Loosing weight requires activity and if you have a lot of weight then you need to spend money on a gym membership or equipment. Even if you walk/run every day in a sweatsuit you won't loose the weight of you are obese. I'm lazy and broke, and more importantly I don't give a damn. Its my body and my problem to deal with, not yours.

because life is hard and those fast, easy, tasty calorie bombs make you feel good temporarily. So thinking of a life without them is hard. Eating healthy often takes a bit of effort and eating isn't an amazing experience every time, sometimes it is just eating. And who wants that when other shit is so hard?

I'm trying at the moment. I've lost 14kg since May so it's not bad, but I can totally feel the yo-yo coming on which is really hard to fight. When life gets tough I just say fuck it and stop doing my daily walks and get pizza and a big bottle of coke.
It's also hard seeing my skinny friends eat whatever the fuck they want and not gain weight. It's hard telling yourself "I can't eat those foods because I already have" I can't weight to get to a normal weight so I can just maintain rather than trying to lose.
I hope this ****in' world ****in' burns away
And I'd kill you all if I had my way |

I've lost 14kg since May so it's not bad, *converts into American* ~31 lbs in ~24 weeks is actually quite good, especially considering the occasional "fuck it" day! It's a sustainable pace that you can grind out for a long time, and then ratchet back up to caloric maintenance once you're at a bf% that's ideal. "I can't eat those foods because I already have" Point of psychology here, but try and frame it differently. You can eat those foods, but you are someone who does not eat these foods, at least yet. Turn it into an affirmation instead of a denial and it'll take a lesser toll on you. Besides, either your skinny friends have a more active lifestyle than you, or eat very little when they're at home or something. "Fast metabolism" is a play of maybe 100 extra calories burned a day and hardly significant regarding one's fat vs intake levels.

Not if you want to add protein but the cost, for most people, isn't the real reason. As someone who has lost 110lbs, the reason is that it take a lot of discipline. Lots of people have to go from minimal cooking to more cooking. You have to start tracking your food (calorie counting works btw) and/or significantly changing your diet (less carbs/sugar/bad fats to higher protein/fiber/healthy fats).
While its a bad excuse typically, most people are fat, in part, because of their genetics/gut flora/non-lifestyle factors so it takes more strict dieting/exercise to get down to a manageable weight. Its the difference between a kid being financially successful out of a low income family vs. a kid from an upper-middle class one. Its easy for the person who just has to avoid the occasional donut to stay relatively lean to tell the person who needs to follow a pretty strict diet to not gain weight to lose it via a simple change or to."Rest of league playing checkers, Chargers playing E-Sports." Drug_Smoker.It's just not a priority for me right now. I know I'm fat. I don't get offended if someone brings it up. I prefer to have tasty food on hand then a skinny body. It also helps that I have a hard core gaining fetish that I do my best to suppress.
That being said I do limit myself and keep myself from getting too big as I value my mobility and would be beyond sad if my weight ever got in the way of my dancing or other things I do with friends.
Over all I have looked at my life and thought a lot about what type of person I am, and what I like and dislike. I'm in a pretty good place now life wise and don't feel like my body detracts from my quality of life at all.
I'm not delusional in thinking that being fat and being healthy is possible, but I am in decent shape and can keep up with my much smaller friends with no issues.I just really love cooking tasty foods for myself and my family too much.
I'm expecting a pretty heavy (Pun intended) flame war coming to me from my comments but I felt it was valid to put myself out there.philsov posted...~31 lbs in ~24 weeks is actually quite good, especially considering the occasional "fuck it" day!

I was walking around 5+ miles 5+ times a week so I think even with the fuck it days I was doing fine. I maintained this behavior for two or so months before I dropped the ball. I've gained back 5 or 6lbs since then.

That's a good way to look at it.

Well my house mate for instance probably walks a mile or two a day 5 days a week and eats mostly whatever he wants, but still, I'm not measuring his calories or how often he eats so he probably just eats less often than me.
I know one guy who ate like two large pizzas 4+ times a week who didn't do any exercise who is skinny af :(I hope this ****in' world ****in' burns away

Bullshit, variance in BMR has a standard deviation of +/- 150 calories, i.e. people's metabolisms are incredibly uniform barring actual, unique health cases.

I think you are both wrong.
Lifestyle factors are the most relevant issue

Closer to 220 Cal actually. Also, check your units. There are some particularly damaging health disorders that prevent people from losing weight. My wife had one. She had surgery to fix it.
People don't count their calories correctly. They don't weigh their food. Even if they do properly weigh the food, the numbers on the package could be off by as much as 20%.
We need to calculate our TDEE. This can prove to be difficult because most people overestimate their activity level multiplier. So, we've got people who are either bad at math or unwilling to put in the work. This could still work if they were willing to track the information. Do something for a month. Did it work? If yes, keep doing it. If not, drop your daily intake by 200 Cal and check again next month. Eventually, you will find the intake necessary to lose weight.
I can't say anything really. I'm 6'4", and I currently weigh 250 lbs. I started the year at 280 lbs. I started lifting weights. My weigh loss has stalled for a few months, but my lifts have increased significantly. Even though I enjoy lifting heavier weights, I'm about to drop some more Cal from my diet.
I work in an office job and do heavy weight lifting as well as 1-2 days of steady state cardio. My exercise days are about 1 hour of almost constant work, with very little rest time. I'm not checking my phone or talking between exercises. I exercise to the point where it is difficult to breathe at the end of every set. My TDEE is estimated to be about 3200 Cal.I have. Over the past four months, I've lost ~25 pounds. Not as quickly as I would like, but I don't really know much about working out or managing caloric intake. I just altered what I ate and cut back on how much of it I eat.
It's only the past three weeks that I started going to the fitness center 3 days a week for 1 - 2 hours each day. Mostly treadmill and elliptical, but a little weight lifting in between.Esrac posted...I have. Over the past four months, I've lost ~25 pounds.

Just as an aside, definitely move into lifting more eventually. It actually helps you lose weight as counter-intuitive as it might seem.. I went from 190 to 160 in about 4 months and I only did cardio once or twice a week max, usually only once. I lifted the other 3-4 days.Twin3Turbo posted...Esrac posted...

See, I want to lose weight to enlist in the Navy. I'm too heavy and fat, you see. The recruiters recommended cardio to lose the weight, rather than weight lifting. Muscle building would come later, they said.Also, I'm a total newbie when it comes to working out. I don't know if it's better to do fewer reps at higher weight or more reps at lower weight.Esrac posted...The recruiters recommended cardio to lose the weight, rather than weight lifting. Muscle building would come later, they said.
Ideally it's both, but between the two lifting weights is better for weight loss in the long run as the muscle you slowly add will increase your baseline metabolism and a good weightliifting session burns about the same calories as a cardio session, if we assume ~1 hr of lifting instead of <30 minutes of cardio. Start establishing some compounding interest!
Esrac posted...I don't know if it's better to do fewer reps at higher weight or more reps at lower weight.
tbh, if your goal is general weight loss and muscle gain then the difference is minimal. Towards the low end (5) your strength with increase more, and towards the high end your endurance will increase. Hypertrophy is merely the result of muscle fatigue and occurs at all reps range assuming they are indeed getting fatigued.Literally just pick a number between 5 and 12 and stick with it. Be proactive with the weight on the bar (or machine, or whatever) and aim for linear progress.
If your goal is 12 reps, and you just banged out 3 sets of 12 reps at 80 lbs, next session make it 85 lbs and go for 12 again. Once you hit 12 again, make it 90. If you can't hit 12 reps at 90 after three sessions in a row then ratchet down to about 85% of your working weight and resume linear progress. Ideally, be proactive with your cardio too. Cranked out 2.5 miles in 24 minutes? Make it 23:45 next time~Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense

Not intended to be a direct comparison, just the same principle. It's hard to make a drastic change to your life and daily routine and people need to recognize that.
I say this as someone who's having the EXACT opposite problem. I'm grossly underweight and I'm struggling to eat more on a consistent basis.
