all the issues in my life will be fixed when i hit 12% bodyfat

You'll unlock new ones though. But getting down to 10% will help with that

I genuinely hate having to make time for gym

I don’t have much wisdom to expound, but I am currently down 50+ pounds from December (upper 220’s to 176 currently at 6’1”), but I do have some brief thoughts on feeling like this. I believe instead of ignoring these thoughts, you need to transform them and shift your mindset. You have to become comfortable filling your time with things you have to and need to do.

You also don’t need to attach certain emotions to certain actions. Instead of thinking, “I have to go to the gym and stay within 1,875 calories today and it sucks and I’m tired and hungry” those thoughts can be just “I’m going to the gym today and also remaining within 1,875 calories.”. It’s not an easy process, but it’s also not good to think about things as easy or hard, theres simply things in life you choose to do and things you don’t do. I’d like to imagine that everything I never did in life was because I didn’t want to do them.

I'm on an extreme diet until I hit my goal weight. I'm not heavy but I want to get to the lowest I can without being a corpse... because once I get off the diet I'll probably gain 5-10 pounds from there in water weight (fuck being a woman, we're camels when it comes to bloat) then maintain it and tone.

I've been doing it for 50 days... lost about 15 pounds and now I'm cutting my calories even more so because this shit is boring and I want it over with.

I also do 15k steps a day as well as 30-40mins of elliptical. I used to do weight lifting but my arms are fucking HUGE right now, like too huge lmao. Buff huge, but I'm getting a little self concious about it. I'm like lean looking elsewhere with these massive guns. I'm sure I have arm goals for a lot of people but I wanna look a little more petite there. I just kept lifting weights daily because it was FUN and now I'm like oh shit.

So I'm just sticking to elliptical and walking and letting my arms waste away a little. I'll tone them more when I get to my goal weight but I don't need these giant arms again lmao.

I'm doing electrolytes and I don't really feel terrible. Not dizzy or tired- just brain foggy. which I know will lift once I go to maintenance. I also fast 23 hours a day, which helps a lot. I'm doing 'extreme' right. This isn't my first rodeo, but it will be the lowest I've ever been.

Biggest problem is... I'm bored. It's hard to be creative and indulge in hobbies when you're this crazy because your brain is doped out from working out so much and ketosis.
I'm hoping once I'm deeper in ketosis I'll have a LITTLE more brain function. It's happened before when I was crazy dieting but I was also doing more calories.

Anyone recommend any mindless/cute games I can play? I haven't gamed in ages... I don't have a brain to do real stuff anymore after I work out... I want a game where I can dress cute and bake cookies and zone out until I'm at my goal weight lmao

I'm down again, to 117 lbs.

aaaah, bitch you're at my goal weight. let me have that shit. But seriously, nice job.

I have 15-20 lbs I want to lose still. It's summer, my normally active work schedule where I would easily walk about 12k steps daily is on a hold until mid-August, currently ending my days walking around 3-5k steps and it's hitting me HARD. My main preference for cardio was running trails, but it's way too humid and hot atm for that. I can comfortably do some weight lifting, but I still love to eat. I'm a veggies and fruit snacker. I've also been experimenting with trying local frappes and shakes.
I remember last year I would go to raves and clubs but it's gotten pricey and the music has gotten pretty same-y. I'm trying my best though, it's just some food and steps, nothing beats exercise on the clock.

Anyone using ozempic.

Mounjaro which is like second gen GLP developed specifically for weightloss rather than diabetes.

I'm coming up on my 2 year anniversary and I've lost 51kgs (112lbs). I've gone from 43 BMI (Obese class 3) to just outside 'normal'.

At about 189/high 188lbs now from 200. Not as impressive as it sounds cuz of the giant amount of waterweight but 5lbs~ of true fat lost is nice. Come monday when I weigh in I'll post weight + bodyfat. I started at 20.7% and remember measuring at 19.3% BF.

Haven't had many problems with overeating, might be because I'm autistically just eating chicken tenderloin constantly. Only issue is that my sleep schedule is FUCKING RUINED right now and I eat like 800cals between 2-8 am and i have to subsist on 1k cals after that for the entire day.

edit: Friday morning is 188.8lbs and 18.9% BF. HAIL.

Just broke through a fucking plateau. It’s so gay how as a woman you have to take extreme measures to cut through the bloat sometimes. Luckily I’m good at being crazy at calorie cutting.

5+ pounds of bloat just shed off in two days. What a relief. Now to keep this shit up a little longer. I think another month and I’ll be good.

as suspected, as I got deeper into keto my brain started working better. I feel really good.

People keep asking me how I do this and I keep telling them it’s as simple as electrolytes combined with intermittent fasting. It keeps you sane, it keeps it safe and makes it really not that hard.

I don’t need any stimulants- in fact I think overdoing it with caffeine can fuck you up.

Love my beef broth and lite salt.

Only issue is that my sleep schedule is FUCKING RUINED

Yeaaah that’s the lamest side effect of low calorie intake and intermittent fasting but I’m so used to it now. Congrats on your drop! That BF is INSANE, fuck yeah!!
