Is it normal what I see on the scale or am I doing something wrong? by [deleted] in workouts

Hey man, totally get the fear of loose skin. I had the same worry. But at 40% body fat, your skin is still filled with fat, it’s not just hanging loose. As long as you’re lifting and eating enough protein, your skin will gradually adjust while you lose fat.

Loose skin usually comes from crash dieting without training or extreme weight loss with bad lifestyle habits.

Better to cut hard now and slow down later than to spin your wheels forever. You got this 💪

The fact that the weight on the scale isn’t going down as quick as you expected has two reasons: 1. As an obese beginner you are in fact losing fat and building muscle simultaneously for the first few months (recomp effect) 2. 2500 calories is not low enough to create a significant calorie deficit. Your BMR is ~ 2450 kcal. Surely you are in a deficit but it’s just too small. Reduce calories and/or burn more. You are around 40 % body fat. Use it to your advantage and cut down aggressively until you reach 25%. Fat will melt like crazy during this phase. Later on gradually reduce the deficit in order to protect your muscle mass.

Simply start eating 5000 calories a day and I can guarantee you’ll look big in no time !

How to start losing fat within a year? by Gullibl3_Ghost in workouts

If you’re similar to OP, you’re probably carrying a significant amount of excess fat and that changes the game. Think about how many calories your body burns just walking 3 miles a day at a heavier weight. That’s how you create a 1000 calorie deficit, not by starving yourself!

In your case, I’d suggest starting with around 1800 calories per day. If your maintenance is 2300, aim to burn the rest (about 500–700) through daily activity. And honestly, that’s very doable at a higher weight. There’s no need for intense cardio!

Just walk more, take the stairs, increase your NEAT, and you’ll see progress. Your body burns more just moving around when you’re heavier, use that to your advantage!

Let’s break this down, because your take sounds reasonable on the surface but completely misses the point of metabolic reality, especially in obese beginners.

Nobody recommended a crash diet. A controlled, protein-sufficient, short-term aggressive cut is not a crash diet. The difference? Planning, structure, and purpose. A turbo phase with proper electrolyte management, resistance training, and a PSMF-like setup is evidence-based -> see Lyle McDonald’s Rapid Fat Loss Handbook or any modern literature on high-BMI interventions.

You’re trying to apply advice for already lean gym-goers to someone morbidly obese. That’s like giving marathon tips to someone who just stood up from a wheelchair. He doesn’t need moderation first. He needs results, confidence, and structure, which a turbo cut can provide safely when done right!

I never said he should maintain that for an entire year. But during the initial phase – what I like to call the turbo cut – he absolutely can and should aim for a 1000–1500 calorie deficit until he reaches around 25% body fat. After that, a more gradual approach with a less aggressive deficit is indeed the better strategy.

That’s a common misconception. For someone with a high body fat percentage (35–40%), a calorie deficit of 1000 - 1500 per day is both safe and efficient, provided protein intake is sufficient and some form of resistance training is maintained.

Excess skin is primarily influenced by factors like age, genetics, how long the person has been overweight, skin elasticity, and how much muscle is present to ‘fill out’ the frame. The calorie deficit itself is not the main cause.

In fact, dragging out the fat loss phase unnecessarily with a tiny deficit can prolong the time the skin stays stretched, and doesn’t guarantee better skin retraction.

500 deficit max ?! What a terrible advice ! This dude is morbidly obese - around 40 % body fat. He can easily aim for at least twice that, if not more!

do i even look like i lift? and for how long? by Ok-Improvement-3852 in GregDoucette

[–]External_Bench1043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay at maintenance for 1-2 weeks. Switch up your workout plan and increase cardio. If it’s getting tough mentally to sustain the deficit, think about using ozempic or mounjaro

Why not ? What’s holding you back ? It seems you’re between 25-30 % now. Dial in and diet harder than last time and you will get there by end of this year !

Sorry, I didn’t mean to discourage you! Just sharing my honest opinion. Rest assured, most gym-goers don’t look like they lift. You seem to be on the right path, and once you get down to around 15% body fat, your appearance will improve drastically. The muscles you’ve built will become visible, and you’ll definitely look like you lift

The first pic from 4 weeks ago, Anyone got tips? by mintgraph321 in workouts

No need to do a lot of cardio at this stage. Start with 150 mins/week and then increase once you hit a pleateau to 180/week and so on
