Forum: Losing Fat

I know this may sound dumb, but I always feel like when I lose all the weight and I am healthy, that I'll just be happier. I'm not sure how exactly but I just won't feel as bad. Like somehow the chemicals in my body will balance out so that I won't be as depressed, or things won't affect me as...

I find when in a calorie deficit my hunger is so extreme that i cant sleep through the last 2 hours of a 24 hour cycle and am hungry 24/7 and am only at a 250 calorie deficit and have a Matinaince calorie intake of 3300. this is even true when i am as fat as a dexascan 15%.

So been dieting for a few weeks now not really calorie counting but cutting out junk and fast food and only eating when I'm hungry and seems to be doing good for now. I'm currently at 318 pounds. I'd like a rough estimate of how much weight I could lose this remaining year if I eat at calorie...

Was unsure if the original poster of the last two threads was going to create a new one but I need to carry on my journey regardless so if he does post I will remove this one. 12 weeks, anyone is free to join in.... starting on the 2nd of April post your current weight and your goal weight. 💪...

Hi everyone I'm a 19-year-old college soccer player who is 6'0 and weighs 180 pounds. I'm looking to undergo body recomp as I need to stay lean year-round but I am looking to add a bit of lean muscle while losing a slight bit of fat. I am a bit confused on what I should do in regards to calories. I...

I’m somewhere around 15% body fat and am looking to get down to 10% to hopefully reveal a six pack. The top two abs show pretty clearly, but there’s nothing for the last four. I’m pretty sure I’ve done enough to at least have a four pack, but it might just be genetics. If it’s not genetics, how...

Got my DEXA scan and it is not pretty I am 5'7" and 290 lbs and my lean mass is only 139 pounds. DEXA scan says my RMR is 1701 calories a day. Would lifting heavy 4 days a week and eating roughly 1600 calories a day be reasonable for good weight loss ?

I have been lifting rigorously for 6 years now, but never had a desire to become shredded until now. Im 5'9 174 and roughly 15% body fat. Im in the process of setting up my macros and feel like I'm doing a cut wrong. As of now they are 200 P 113 C and 30 F for a total of around 1,500 calories. my...

Hey guys, I have recently had surgery and will be inactive for around 2 months. Before this I was going through a cutting phase and I’m wondering is that sensible to continue while I’m out of the gym or should I eat at maintenance until I can return?

Lately I've been trying to lose weight, only slightly overweight. I've been eating clean and doing lots of walking and weight was going down very slightly. Lately though ive been doing weight training, even just 20 mins a day and Ive seen a big increase in weight loss rate plus feeling a lot better...

I’ve been searching the internet and haven’t found much help on this topic. When I am cutting do I want to try and lift just as much or should I aim for a lower weight and higher reps?

First off- thanks everyone for the on point advice to get my head straight around how to get going on my journey. I couldn't have gotten through the mind-blocks without you. And they were many. Where I was, December 15th- 5 foot 5, 153.7 pounds, 25-30% bodyfat range. Coming off a major injury,...

Hi all. So I’m currently around 22% body fat and am 5’6 and weigh 142lbs. I lift heavy and minimal cardio. I’m trying to lose weight/cut. But I’m trying to lose more fat. I’ve been doing this September and have dropped 47lbs. I’m trying to get some of the last fat off to start a good bulk. I’d like...

Cheap, as in under $50. I don’t need ANY of the dozen-plus irrelevant 'bells and whistles' that come with some models. All I want is something that will keep a running record of my heart rate for the duration of my workout, and then use whatever information I have to program into it (my height,...

when you're bulking and gaining fat,the fat 'sits' right on top of the muscles which makes the muscles look bigger than they are and also the muscles are hidden underneath the fat so you can't clearly see them,so how exactly do people know that they are losing muscle while cutting?how do we know...

Hello guys, Does anyone have any experience with Yamamoto Ai-BURN HARDCORE supplement? I just bought it, does anyone maybe know how to use it? How many capsules daily and when? Thank you

I'm loving the inspiration of LoseIt - thank you, I've learned a lot so far. My question to those who have lost weight is whether your body fat drops at the same time, or if you had to do something extra to reduce it (i.e. weights?) I've been counting calories via WW since beginning of the year,...

OK, I had been on here about a decade ago and was trying to lose weight/get stronger, but didn't have much luck on the weight loss side of the equasion, then had money and health issues (both mine and Mom on the latter) that caused me to walk away and managed to gain weight, even while I was still...
