Yoh I feel you on the skin on your stomach. IT's so rough. I went form 370 to 180. I got the same thing. But it's good that we're stronger etc. Even if it'll take a surgery I cant afford to be like "finally. yessss."
There will be blood. Suffice to say I don't think it's for everybody, even if you can afford the five-figure dollar cost of surgery and recovery. Godspeed if you ever do that shit, though, and well done getting to this point.
That's insane dude, congratulations and well done! May I ask at what weight you started and where you are in the ending of the video? Trying to lose weight myself, having a hard time seeing the progress (didn't take a before pic).
Seems odd OP would have some negative karma posts and then immediately a weight loss one. Especially since the previous posts include copy/pasted stuff from Farcebook. I doubt this transition is OP themselves.
When I first started transitioning, I wanted to do something like this to end up with a skinny girl in "post" next to the lorge boy on the "pre". Unfortunately I'm bad at losing weight :D
I was considering whether to call it a weight loss journey and just pretend the gender change didn't happen
Research shows that over 6 months, weight lifting is more effective for weight loss than cardio per minute spent working out. This is because adding lean muscle increases your base metabolism, so even though you burn less during the workout compared to cardio, you burn more the rest of the day. Another benefit is that you lose muscle slowly, so even if you're prevented from working out for a while you retain the increased metabolism benefits.
don't focus on the weight. The dude in the video did it right: a pic taken in the same place and same outfit, with no mention of weight, so he see the real progress. First comes the weight loss, but then comes the transformation in shape, because you replace fat with muscles, and muscles weight more than fat. so the scale will tell you you don't lose weight, but (if you exercise) you lose fat and replace it by muscles.
Go vegan for a little while, I never stopped eating as in my calorie intake was sky high... still lost weight even tho I nearly doubled my calorie intake and I felt super good about 3 weeks in
My dude! Be proud as hell of that but DON'T GIVE UP. I was 375 a year ago, 320 now, and headed to ~200. When you hit a plateau, you gotta make another small change. Reduce your average calories per day by 100 or so. Two fewer bites of food. You can do this.
You've made progress. Now start focusing ahead, in longer terms. Instead of looking at it hour to hour, day to day, try to transition to week to week, month to month. This guy kept going, and going, and going, and just didn't stop - that's what you gotta do. He's probably still working out all day every day, so if you can change your perspective then you can do the same thing. You got this!!
When you were larger and did X amount of movement, you burned Y amount of calories. As you've become smaller, you can do the same amount of movement but burn less calories. Move more or get a weight vest for when you go for walks etc. Your body can't resist the laws of physics.
I hover between 265 and 280. Cannot seem to go any lower. But I'm 5'11" and my pants size is a US 36. I hate that I have a huge midsection. Like, not even a lot of subcutaneous fat, but huge amounts of visceral. And a metric fuck load of muscle still. I've been on HRT for 3 years now. STILL got 17" biceps and my testosterone is 3. Not 30. Not 300. 3.
Focusing on building muscle for a while helped kick start my weight loss again after a plateau. Completely anecdotal from my own experience, but it worked for me at the time. Of course, I've gained back every ounce since then and the brought friends...
Most of us are, because the last part takes extreme dedication with daily exercise and tough diet. I am 100% ok with how I look, that last part would never work for me.
Congratulations. You lost one whole me in weight. I am a whole, living, breathing, person, so that's a lot of weight. Please acknowledge how monumentally difficult that is, and please, give yourself some grace.
Grats, i (6'3") have the same Problems can't go much below 300lbs without serious diet. The Question i ask myself: "Am i mobile, can i move tons of weight, can i go for hours thanks to good cardio training." When i can answer everything with yes, then i am good. You don't have to follow some 'social rules' about your weight when it doesn't hamper you. Keep up Cardio and Back training then you are fine !
Muscles are more dense as fat, you need Muscles to burn fat. Important is to do lot of endurance work for your heart as it has to pump the extra blood for all the weight. And keep your back muscles worked up as they have to carry it. I run regularly on a Cross trainer for that. The biggest Problem on Weight loss at that point is that you need to lose Muscle weight, and guess which muscles lose weight first: Back and Heart.
You know all those nutrition and PT specialists who explain that at some point your metabolism adapts to the new weight and you stop losing weight by doing the same thing? It is true. My own personal solution was to... not lose the weight so to speak. So if my body was just fine at 160 lbs, then every 5 lbs I lose I add them to a weighted vest, weighted ankle straps, weighted belt - you get the idea. So my body doesn't 'get used' to me being thinner. So far it works.
Diet will be your best friend in breaking those humps. There's always Ozempic as well if you have insurance and are okay with using drugs to help your weightloss.

Precisely! I hope you can be proud of yourself. You have every reason to be.

Normal mistake many make is that the keep the same caloric deficit for too long and it is now a caloric normal.

Do you feel better at 350 than you did at 510?

no but i think that is mostly because my health is declining as well.

Setting the plateaus here, it's real, just keep doing the thing and forget about results for a while. Changing your training might help too
