I hate my fat pad

Actually, I’m just feeling like a fatass right now. We just went to the beach and I hated the pics of that sun-burned whale playing with my kids.

I’ve been lifting heavy, but I think I need to switch gears.

Also, I finally got around to measuring my NBP length. Crap, It’s 5.5 inches.

So I have a new ultimate goal. 7 inches NBP.

Then quit your bitching and focus on losing weight. Seriously, there are many ways to do it and still maintain strength and muscle while losing a pound of fat per week. Your biggest hurdle will at first be temptation and then later on desire. You can man up and chose chocolate protein bars over brownies, go for a walk with the kids instead of sitting on your ass and watching family movies, go swim forever instead of feeling self-conscious on the sand. It’s all about the goal in the longrun.

But that stuff’s hard…

Yea, I know. Food has always been my weakness. I’m just bitching.

Waaa waaa, bitch and cry.
I lost 75 pounds before the navy all on my own. When I got out I was 30 lbs heavier in muscle but 20% bf. 1yr later I put on another 10+ lbs to my frame but I have just now taken charge of my fat ass and have found ways to still lose a pound or so a week while adding 2+ lbs of muscle a month. It can be done bu you need to take charge of your diet and your life. Them ain’t yo little debbies! Thems fo the kids.

If you’re having trouble do your research. I can honest tell you it will be hard at celebrations and family events like church and what not. If you stay strong and listen to your conscious you will getthat six pack by next summer.

Do you measure in the middle or side or you fat pad?

Hi look I have the same problem am not very fat am fit but I have a big stomach what the TheGreatDivider said is totally true trust me I have a big fat bad you know why coz I have a big stomach it’s simple it’s part of the stomach fat so I was 75 kilo after 1 month am 66 kilo you know how I fucked my ass up gym lifting weight running push up training my stomach 2 eggs in the morning 1 glass of milk the second meal is 1 can of tuna and 3 toast bred not any bred whole wheat bred I see the picture of food and I literally talk to my self if you think someone here will tell you take this medicine and your fat pad will tell you byebye next day the only way you have bro is burn fat from all your body and it will go away it’s a progress of months not weeks or days have a nice day

There seriously is no secret to weight loss. Either calculate your basal metabolic rate and consume food to match it, or consume less, to lose weight, or work out so much that you lose the weight anyway.

A pound of fat is 3500 calories. Cut your intake by 500 and there you go. 1 pound per week, since eating 500 less is 3500 over 7 days. You won’t notice changes until a few months pass.

Seriously?! The old calorie in equals calorie out mantra? You’re better off doing just a little homework to know what to eat. Then taking the Harris benedict formula or multiplying bodyweight times 11 with the added activity multiplier. Then just cut back 300 calories a day from carbs. You can get away with a carb free meal before bed and one after breakfast no problem but beyond that is difficult to maintain.

In the gym utilize standing exercises with free weights and supersets. You may lose 15-20lbs of weight off certain staple exercises like bench presses because of the faster heart rate between supersets but it you will make up for strength with a greater pump.

On a dietary side I strongly reccomend either a carb backloading approach or carb cycling diet. Avoid milk until after your workout not because of the carbs but because of the hormone and insulin enhancing properties. Whey and casein are always good though. Keep fruit low or only to what you need to energy and to stave off headaches associated with extremeness low blood sugar. Diet cokes are fine but Tom many disrupt digestion, sane goes for artificial sweeteners even stevia, too much no good. Dont use diet pill unless you like rebounding and gaining weight once you get off of them.

Last nugget… Keep cardio low impact and long till you feel your knees and ankles can support your weight. If you have to just keep your running time low and work on short bursts of speed. Then slowly work on longer and longer run times.

That’s all I can think of before bed. I have tons of tips and recipes to share later.

Hey wanttobethick. TheGreatDivider is dead on. Listen to him bro. Do some research on carb cycling and impliment that into your daily life style. All it takes is the will and drive to do it bro.

I hate your fat pad too

Yeah fat pads are a bitch. Even at 17% body fat mine is 3/4” to 1” :( . There are certainly diet techniques and exercise regimes that you can do but I would get into making lifestyle changes not fad diets. I wholeheartedly disagree with TheGreatDivider on the “old calories in equals out mantra.” That old mantra is called physics and thermodynamics, which means its the way it is. The bigger problem is how to address the human behavior side so that you actually get calories in equaling calories out (once you’ve lost weight). I find fitday.com to be invaluable for that. It is easy to use so it’s not hard, there is even an iPhone app for it. You want to lose weight, eat less calories than you burn. You want to increase the calories you burn, exercise. You want to make sure you are getting the proper nutrients, especially if you are in calorie restriction mode, graph it. It’s pretty simple, and it works great.

I have been using it for years and when used consistently, which I have been for the past seven months even though I’m not on a “diet” or exercise program, it will work.

Dang. That’s what I was going to say! :)

@AvgGuyUSA— FYI, 17%BF is NOT lean …— I just thought I’d mention that champ ;)

I measure at the top of my penis. Never though the side was an option.

I think he’s talking about the depth of the fat pad, not BPEL

Mine has a sort of vertical divot just above my schvantz that gets nice and puffy in two almost visible little mounds.
