I shoot for 1800-2000 to maintain a 1-2 pound loss per week

Maybe try something like crossfit. It takes weightlifting and makes it a lot funner by having a group and working towards getting the challenge done as fast as possible.

I tried stronglifts and i found that i was too tired by the third heavy lift of the day and it often didnt get tbe work it needed. I then switched to going to the gym every single day and only doing one of the big lifts but with the recommended rep scheme and making sure to really rest the whole 4-5 min between sets and i…

I dont really have any specific suggestions for you but wanting to make a change is a great first step. I had "exercise unduced asthema" as a kid and used an inhaler from about the age of 8 to 16 but the thing is i was 160 lbs at 11 years old and looking back very overweight the whole time. At 16 i remained 160 lbs but…

So obviously im not talking to you because you would never say youre stuck at a certain weight but thanks for your input.

Idk seems easy to me if you like salmon and turkey. Might be boring but eating two decent serving of those a day should be addequate with a protein shake

Depends. Youll lose a lot of muscle but i dropped from 225 to 165 in 3 months by eating about 1k calories a day and my maintenance is almost 2500. Definitely not the best way to do it but it gets the job done

Sodium. Consume 0 sodium. Good luck

The one that always gets me with the serving sizes is pop tarts! Why the hell is it done by pastry? Like who doesn't just eat both of them in the package

Doing heavy squats and deadlifts i have farted from exertion multiple times

I either make it my only food for the day if i know im going out, or im also commonly the weirdo that will go to be social but doesnt actually order anything but water

Im assuming your previous definition of "full" was when your stomach hurt from all the food. Thats how it was for me. After a while youll learn that youre body is satisfied way before this point

Ive done 2 things that helped but it is kind of a long process. Took me about 3 months total to kick the habits but... 1. Whenever i had a craving i drank diet soda. ALOT of diet soda. Easily had most of a 2 liter every day. This let me get used to not eating the other things that i had cravings for but without the…

You can get stronger without building actual muscle mass, the nervous system adapts to the stress you give it up to a certain point. Definitely start now and youll have a better foundation for when you switch to maintenance/bulk

Deadlifts arent bad for you if done correctly. Your lower back has muscles that need to be trained which is why lower back pain is so common. I suggest learning all you can about deadlifts and putting them into your workouts

Have to agree with this completely. My motivation is that when i dont exercise i feel like *kitten* and everything else in my life seems to magically get worse. Also wanting to be stronger and do things others cant do

Whys everyone so butt hurt about this? Its a challenge to, idk, challenge yourself? Trying to better myself and see what im capable of is plenty motivation to give this a try. Idk why youre all arguing about it if you dont care then dont do it simple as that

A lot of foods that spike insulin such as carbs are arguably addictive since they give immediate energy our body craves them to gain energy in the quickest way possible. Many artificial sugars and "unhealthy" foods are most definitely addictive. Have you ever seen or heard a child cry because you didnt let them have some…

I agree. I took a while off from activity and gaines about 50 lbs. Went to the gym and ate better to get back to where i was but i worked out like a "bro" just doing isolations and lots of pump workouts that gave me almost no progress. Starting strength motivated me to focus on the big lifts and my aesthetics are fairly…
