No because I can't track numerical gains aside from weight.

no, sufficient self-hate does

You can still track the number of lifts you can do.

>interested in exercise

he means
>bought one of those stupid home pull up things and used it twice

lmao its funny how this comic artist is really profound while his artistic style is so simplistic. its obvious he's actually a really intelligent and gifted guy, smart and lazy, just like me.

Yeah, but once I realized there was level decay, I realized it was kind of pointless.

No, hitting 25 and realising I was inching ever closer to the 300lb mark was what inspired me. And that if I didn't fix it now after saying "I'm still young" since I was 17, I'd just be saying it forever.

So I went from 285lbs to 153lbs. I've since then gained 10lbs due to becoming NEET and walking less, but I'm fixing that.

I'm 27 now, around 160lbs at 5'9 and considerably less disgusted at my own body. Still a permavirgin loser but I can cosplay at cons without looking offensive and I can walk around my local arcade without taking up the entire space between cabinets.

Good job I guess.

why do americans get this fat in the first place? you guys are always telling stories of going from a human lard mountain to just being slightly overweight like its the story of a fucking war veteran. why are americans like this?

You don't need to be a Virgin user

its called depression

The problem isn't attaining the str/con but staying on that level.

Nice job user, keep at it!

Not American, but was the same weight and about the same age
For me, it was a shitload of bad eating habits reinforced since childhood
And like alcoholics, I guess I am now an eternal fatty, currently in remission, because the habits are still there, I'm just better at managing and keeping them in check

consuming is our culture user. and losing 100lb+ is impressive you have to admit.

no its called obesity you dumbfuck american

I'm British though. Also junk food is easier, cheaper and available in abundance, and I thought regular exercise was beyond my capabilities (mentally I mean, since I'm not very committal). I still exercise regularly though so I proved myself wrong there. Self control and changing habits is massive, and can seem hard, but is always doable.

lul

This. Level decay is the gayest thing, devs who put it in the game deserve to get shot

How? I already feel like I'm eating unhealthy and I'm hovering around 170lb for almost 10 years now

You already lost, you should've just suicided and rerolled.

No. I don't get to wield some cool magical sword when I "level up" irl.

This is probably right, but fuck it.

This is probably the cringies shit I have seen all month, and I sometimes browse reddit.

Jokes on you, I'm maso as fuck so kinda like being that height

>and I sometimes browse reddit.
Now THAT is cringe.

No, because I despise grinding

The best part about being American is knowing i live in some EUtards head rent fucking free

I know, right? reddit is full of cringe

>EUtards
There's a 90% chance the hurf durf muh mutts posters are smelly third worlders, my burger friend

The best thing about Americans is that their pride is this fragile, all you have to do is mildly troll them to get the (You)s rolling.

>connection to levelling up
I did it because I wanted a bigger chest and visible sixpack
I'm still an awkward virgin but now women at least compliment me when I'm out on campus

Partly. I took an interest in fitness as a kid because I wanted to look more like my heroes. Now I'm 30 and in what I would describe as great shape.

I think it must be because they have to go on car everywhere,if they wouldn't they would feel bad the moment they went out to somewhere walking or in bicycle, but because they not they just neglect their health

I think at this point Yea Forums is at least 60% south americans, kinda like your country.
Euros are at work/school right now.

I lift out of spite.

What's the point when your character is going to get wiped anyway?

making the comparison to exercise and leveling up just make me realising with a fucking slog grind it is
i do it because its good for me and maybe someday i will be a better person

i wish i was fat. losing weight is so piss easy

I'm not parroting shit, I skip legs all the time and women don't care because I have a nice upper body.

It's not depression if it makes you feel the opposite of apathy. It's just being a sad cunt.

Not American too .. I eat a bunch of shit every day both junk food and sugar heavy sodas , I am 29 and slightly overweight . Around 187 lbs /85 kg while being 5'8. I am eating horribly for at least 10 years and yet i am not disgustingly fat? Still i body shame myself and vowing to change something every single day until i can at least lose my waists .

As long as you have height and abs you can do well on tinder.

Yes. I got a lot better about working out once I decided to apply the same attitude about I have about videogames. Weanting to get better, wanting to achieve more, etc.

And getting a gf is beating the game.

It was self hate and the wish to have sex more often

not him, but have similar physique.
what to do for core?
Also aren't dls and squats enough for hips?

My stomach has always been a problem area. Ive been eating like a fat cunt the last year or so, so no abs for me for a while. Ive accepted it for now.

It's probably some fatty powerlifter who only has legs going for him. I used to see them shit talking on /fit/ all the time.

oh absolutely I'm the one coping :^)

its not even the number 1 in obesity bro
but yea most fat people you see are from the midwest who shop at Walmart

How is it possible to jump to conclusions like you do so quickly? Don't you have enough self-awareness to at least realize acting presumptuous makes you look like you have personal, childish feelings against the author?

post weight
I'm a skeleton so I naturally wish I had muscly legs

Seems like mainly some excess fat. It's fucking difficult to get abs mang. Gotta be incredibly vigilant on what and how much you eat.

Why are euros so tsundere for america?

There are other countries that have more "obese" people. But the kind of extreme obesity you see in the US everywhere you won't find anywhere else.

Yea this. For real.
Been hammering core 3 times a week for about 3 years and only time i ever see them is after like a 10 week calorie deficit.

It is what it is for those of us not blessed with good genetics.

Beause we want to love you, but you make it so fucking difficult by being such an autistic screeching kid all the time.

>It is what it is for those of us not blessed with good genetics.
I'm not so sure it's genetics. I've had abs in the past and was mildly muscular (nowhere near /fit/, but not skelly either). I was constantly wary of what I ate and counted calories. I stopped doing that and I can't get my abs back. Gotta start counting calories again, but man I really don't want to. I'm not motivated enough lately.

>There are people that unironically follow cuckcd """"""comics"""""""

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

It's how much water you're drinking. Body builders horrifically dehydrate themselves to accentuate muscle definition temporarily.

no because i'm not a fucking autist
i workout because i want to be fit i play games because i want to play games

When i mention genetics i just meant because there are people out there that can maintain a built physique with visible abs with very little maintenance, due to a fast metabolism, good muscle placements and naturally low body fat.

>mah rights
america in a nutshell
no other country constant goes on about muh amendment rights, muh stolen valour, because it's common sense

Yea im taking creatine too which contributes to the water retention

Yeah, common sense that you don't have amendments

No because unlike an actual RPG, your skills aren't actively de-leveling themselves as you gain overall levels.

So what your saying is that Brits don't have common sense?

The benefit of being an endomorph is while it's much easier for me to get fat and hard as fuck to be skinny, it's much easier for me to build muscle. Get fucked ecto

Imagine losing a war so fucking hard your distant descendants cry over it at the mere mention of 1776.

Whoa jesus man, you're on CREATINE? Did you know your balls explode if you take too much of that stuff? Take it easy with that shit man, you don't want to end up like Rich Piana.

Some actual RPG's do that though, so you're wrong.

it's not uncommon for north americans to have to drive 50-150 miles to work every morning, and that's usually just not doable on bicycles or public transport

If by inspiration you mean stop wasting time on them and then finding a job, then yes.

As a Euro, I can't really grasp how fucking big America is. I'm Dutch, so the longest travel insde my own country is like 4 hours.

What the fuck? That's extremely uncommon. Usually you have to live within a certain radius to even qualify for the job assuming it's not a remote position. My job for example has a 30 mile requirement.

I dont even know what youre talking about i just mentioned that creatine contributes to my water retention

Don't believe that retard, it might not be all that uncommon for 50 mile commutes but any higher and the frequency severely drops off. 150 miles to work every day is almost unheard of.

Lol this user knows he’s causing asspain with these pics.

Last one.
So yeah, creatine is one hell of a drug man. Be careful!
it's an ongoing joke on that board. One guy got interviewed about someone he knew that comitted suicide or some shit, and he got the reported to believe it was due to creatine. Hilarious headline ensued.

Attached: creatine7.jpg (810x1013, 341K)

It's all tongue-in-cheek user. They're memes for a reason.

Oh fuck off, people like you are why memes are shit now and just variants of pepe and feelsguy.

>cardio kills gains
I think death kills them a bit more

Not that user but I find that pretty demoralizing. Maybe I didn't sleep as well, maybe I ate too much and didn't notice, whatever could lower that number and then I feel like I'm making no progress. That or I get stuck on one number for a long time and just can't progress.
I do need to start working out again though. I think I'm going to buy a bench and bar this summer. Fuck travelling an hour to the gym every day.

>making a comic about turning into the hulk from creatine
I mean, it's just an almagation of memes that are spouted on that board. Like cardio kills gains and that creatine is a heavier drug than steroids. Obviously nobody believes that, but it's all in good fun.

Congrats user. You did a great job and I'm glad you're feeling better about yourself.
>Perma-virgin
As someone who lost 80lbs and has just recently figured out how girls work trust me when I say they fucking love hearing about this. Maybe it's a respect or masculinity thing, but hearing how a man totally turned his life around and accomplished something they've probably been told is near impossible gets them wet. Smile when you talk, listen more than you speak, use their name when possible, ask about their interests and don't lie about yours, eye contact but glance at their lips now and then if you know you're doing a good job.
Do your best

What galls me is that half of his posts were shitposts, and most of /fit/ told him to fuck off when he was alive for being an insufferable cunt.

Good job

ManletTears is also an insufferable cunt, but the memes about him are still great.

No, because video games gave me some more interesting things to do than life. It was either go wack some dragons on the head or go take a hike in the desert. Vidya wins 90% of the time.

Oh shit. Manly Tears died?

very good
