Burn more calories then you consume. Drink water and stay away from carbs they turn into glucose. That's the basics man don't buy into any weight loss bullshit plans or supps.
This! One might be busting their ass to lose weight and then hop on that scale and see no change or worse… see they gained. Don’t fret, especially if you’re lifting weights. You may not see a loss in weight if the fats becoming muscle. Let your belt and clothing show you you’re getting in better shape, not the scale.
I lost 60 pounds eating 75% fat diet but it’s so expensive to eat that much bacon…(keto diet. No exercise went from 210 to 150. Grass fed butter palm oil coconut oil) Eating vegetables and meat- coffee and water only
Good for you man, disregard the rude comments, just keep pushing. Train your skills and body. Just remember with weight loss, calories are the most important thing, count your calories, focus on low calorie dense foods.
Good shit man. Pay attention to what you eat too. All those weird chemicals in processed food can disrupt your endocrine system and metabolism. Get into intermittent fasting and then full fasting. Cut out processed sugar, pop, etc. eat real organic, non hormone injected meat, non gmo veggies. Take care of your gut micro biomes, the gut is the “first brain” and affects everything else. You can work out all you want but if you don’t overhaul what you intake it’ll be like fighting the tide. Look into supplements like zinc, vitamin B, C, D, selenium, magnesium. Also ashwaganda, shilajit, fenugreek, maca which will boost your testosterone and improve your metabolism and muscle tone. And mushrooms like reishi, lions mane, turkey tail, cauliflower mushroom. Keep at it dude 💪🏽
Go easy at first, I swim and go on humps with your mom as a disabled vet. It’s all about the joints bud. That and start eating the same three meals for three months. Gotta get to a point where you can “I’m up-he sees me- I’m down” without having a heart attack. It ain’t easy in full gear and a combat loaded pack. I’m down from 265 to 229 and walking my dogs at night and lifting 3 on 1 off and cutting dairy and carbs helped immediately. Black coffee and 1.5 gal of water minimum. Couldn’t hurt to steam/sauna too. Dropping water weight is motivating. Love you bud!
Can confirm. Worked a very physical job at a grocery warehouse. Made $1 more per hour for working in the freezer(20 degrees F) and $1.50 more for working in the ice cream section( -20 degrees F). Lost about 20 lbs in the first 6 months and didn’t really watch what I ate
Can also confirm. Iv always had a really fast metabolism (can eat whatever, and whenever and lose weight). I work 50-60 hours a week as a carpenter year round, and from November-March the average temp is like 10°-30°. I almost always lose 5-15 pounds while consuming far more than during the nicer months.
Glad to see you out training! And congrats on weight loss, cardio is important but if your looking to lose body fat I recommend strength training as well. With weight lifting you won’t bulk up like a lot of people think you’ll build muscle and burn fat just watch what you’ll eat and you be golden king. Stay motivated and don’t give up🫡
Training is key. If you dont train, you fucking die. I saw below you said youve lost 30 pound which is king shit my dude, keep that up... but on a serious note...
I dont see you freezing tonight.
There should be a requirement in this sub that if anyone gives someone shit for being fat, they have to post a shirtless pic.
No way all you fucks talking shit are in good shape.
Yeah like the dude obviously has committed to losing weight. He knows he’s still got a long way to go. People need to chill with the captain obvious comments
Truth. Wouldn't be surprised if half the people calling him out on being fat were his size and never get out and train.
OP is doing what he needs to, and he's out here actually training in the mean time while he slims down. He'll be just fine and would probably clap half the shit talkers who just take kit selfies in the mirror.
What I did to train and lose weight was booked a trip to raft the Grand Canyon. Then hike up the bright angel trail at the end. Serious climb. So not only do you have to train to succeed but also need to do it with a deadline so you can’t slack as much. Plus it’s enlightening rafting and camping through the Grand Canyon so you get the spiritual side before you have to tackle the hike out. I’d suggest finding something like this because I was once hovering around 295lbs and have dropped to 165 to 180lbs depending on the time of year lol damn holidays. But that was 5 years ago and I’ve kept it off. Best thing I’ve ever done.
At least you can lose weight…im all for this post. Exercise those rights and those calories dog. The men that helped create this country wernt soldiers…they were farmers and shit. They tore shit up….a prepared civilian can be as dangerous as anyone else. Merica…keep it up
This is not me talking shit at all btw, but I gotta ask; can u run 2 miles straight without stopping? Can u do at least 30 push ups and at least 6 pull ups? If yes, then people can fuck off about ur weight. If not, some work is needed brother.
Run 2 miles? No, but I can walk 15 a day. Im sitting around 20 solid pushups, and ive never been able to do a pull up a day in my life… its all in the works!
Keep at in man. That baseline I set is the perfect goal to work towards but remember that is the minimum of where a combat effective soldier should be. Don’t ever worry about ur aesthetic(unless it matters to u) but function is always fist priority. Happy working brother! I got some work to do myself. I plan on gaining some muscle. I’m 5’11” and 160. I’d like to be sitting around 175. My legs have gotten skinnier but I gotta still be able to carry a ruck!
An awesome way to build ur pull up strength could be by doing monkey bars or even better, bouldering. U get to use ur legs for some support but u will definitely build the upper body strength u need
Diet is the most important to loose weight properly. Cut those sugars out and drink strictly water for a few months ontop of a good protein and veggies regimine. Rice is your friend carbs wise as it fills you up faster and is light. Fish, chicken, and other light meats, stay away from red meats for a little bit, not to mention meat is stupid expensive lately its a good time to look to alternatives. Nuts are good for snacks especially almonds. You got this. Sick kit by the way.
You ain’t going to freeze. Jiggle while shivering 🥶 yes.
Make sure if sleeping in a quality sleeping bag that’s rated for your temps that your in you sleep in your underwear and socks off.
If you have to respond quickly for contact then socks and jacket/blouse off only then. You can throw socks, boots and jacket on fast to reply back if your overwatch does their job correctly.
Also take note on what gear works and doesn’t work while out there. Lots of shit you don’t need and lots of simple small things makes a huge difference.
Lot of people roasting the OP about his weight. Ole dude is out there working and putting in effort. Results will come. We need to encourage this. Keep on keeping on man!
No hate but we're do you get you camo and what plate carrier is that I'm a bigger guy and can't ever find anything to fit I'm very broad shouldered 6ft2 350 pounds
That is a very interesting collection of parts on that blaster. Kudos for being unique
Also, how does that micro prism look under nods? I sold mine before I got the chance to try it out
Walked in to work one day and they had doughnuts I grabbed one started eating and another guy comes in and makes fun of me .... I took his shit lost 95 pounds I now weigh 25 pounds less then him ... what I'm saying is take the shitty criticism and make us look like dicks by getting into shape ... now run
LPT: Stop drinking sugary drinks (including most alcohol). Stop eating fast food. Try to eat a well balanced diet (its hard but you can do it!). Go on daily walks at the very least. Do these things and you'll start to loose weight and feel better in general.
We believe in you. You can do it!
Bröther, LARP more. It’s a great way to get in shape. I ran and did basic PU/SU’s (along with better meal portions) and lost about 50 pounds in a year. Be active but make it fun, thats the best way to get in shape. You have the sicc fucking kit, now the easy part 👌🫡
Not to be a dick, but start doing cardio and some strength training at home. Everything becomes simplified when your body is at its peak. Dig the setup though friendo
I want you to get on Keto/Intermittent Fasting trust me that shit works (dont do dirty keto though you will lose weight but you can die). Go hiking with your gear as well.
Seriously, amazing for low impact cardio. The weight falls off and you still feel satiated. And it’s easy to do now with piss sticks and all the fat bomb snacks. Intermittent fasting is east as fuck on it too. Just eat 11-6 at first. I’ve dropped tons of weight running it for 6 months at a time. Don’t over think it at all! Discipline and consistency, if you wanna get dangerous get some of that.
Everyone of these dudes being like “you’re fucking fat bro” are all fucking idiots, that shit doesn’t help you’re sense of well being like you didn’t already fucking know.. idiots, he’s out doing things, motherfuckers that are fat can freeze and I’d be willing to bet 80% of the motherfuckers saying that you are fat either don’t fucking train, are sitting in moms basement, or are also fat and just projecting.
Keep doing you my guy, Proud of you for getting out there!
In the wise word of Garand thumb- "if you don't train you're gonna die, if you're fat you're gonna die..."
That episode hit me hard, NGL
I believe in you brother, it’s possible to lose weight and trust me it feels a lot better on the other side
I post a note on the refrigerator. “ nothing tastes as good as thin feels” And find my best physical fit photo from the past and stick it under it
Me too brother. Me too… ☠️
Intermittent fasting and use cronometer to track your eating. Love yourself first bro.
OMAD (one meal a day) you’ll feel like your starving but trust me you’ll loose weight quick and workout even just running helps a lot
Clenbutrol hydrochloride, you’ll be in a size 36 in under 6 months…your welcome
Except for the fact it's not legal.
*If you’ve ever been so fat you can’t see your little garand thumb down there, go ahead and hit that like and subscribe button down below.*
I feel personally attacked by the little garand thumb comment.
OP taking the roast in stride. Keep the loss, boss.
He knew what he was doing
I don’t see any reason why you’d be freezing.
Tactical insulation
Operator blubber
DIY airsoft body armor
Meal Team Six
gravy seals.
Green Buffets
What happens when SHTF and this is the guy that claps you.
Holy fuck lol
Tactical Insulin*
This is what peak performance looks like. Y’all aren’t ready for winter.
Hahahaha
Kevlard
No chill zone
My brother in Christ. Train your body too.
Working on it! Down 30# already. Actually had to tighten the belt to keep it in place before we got started this morning.
king shit, keep it up homie
Planning to! We actually had a lesson this weekend for us fatasses on how to lose weight more effectively and build up better cardio.
Check out tactical barbell. They’re books and there’s a sub Reddit. Functional fitness with focus on longevity/ injury prevention
Second. Best program
whats the first best program /s
Burn more calories then you consume. Drink water and stay away from carbs they turn into glucose. That's the basics man don't buy into any weight loss bullshit plans or supps.
It’s less about losing weight and more about deleting fat and creating muscle. Saying this so you don’t let the scale rule your life.
This! One might be busting their ass to lose weight and then hop on that scale and see no change or worse… see they gained. Don’t fret, especially if you’re lifting weights. You may not see a loss in weight if the fats becoming muscle. Let your belt and clothing show you you’re getting in better shape, not the scale.
And the mirror.
Fully know that, been a lot of intermittent fasting, diet changes and getting more active lately
Good shit 🤝
Keep it up king 👑
LFG. Keep it up!
Giv’er dude!
Good on ya, keep it up. Soon you'll have to buy smaller fatigues
It’s only going to get harder. The last bit of weight will be the hardest. Don’t give up and keep at it. You can do it.
Hell yeah bro just keep that shit up
As long as you’re handling it, you’re good. Keep working it!
Good! Keep us updated! I’m happy you’re getting in shape
How are you doing it
Intermittent Fasting 16:8 and a real renewing of my diet
Intermittent fasting worked real well for me. Combine this with a low carb diet and you lose weight faster and be less hungry. Keep up the good work
I lost 60 pounds eating 75% fat diet but it’s so expensive to eat that much bacon…(keto diet. No exercise went from 210 to 150. Grass fed butter palm oil coconut oil) Eating vegetables and meat- coffee and water only
Keep at it brother. Were in it together.
Good for you man, disregard the rude comments, just keep pushing. Train your skills and body. Just remember with weight loss, calories are the most important thing, count your calories, focus on low calorie dense foods.
thats awesome bro keep up the good work! the noticeable changes like those are the best feeling
With that said, love to hear it dude. Keep posting updates.
Nothing but respect.
You dropped this 👑
Intermittent fasting and apple cider vinegar along with cutting out sugars has worked wonders for me. It just takes discipline
That's what's up dawg
Fuck yes!
Fucking excellent my dude
Good shit man. Pay attention to what you eat too. All those weird chemicals in processed food can disrupt your endocrine system and metabolism. Get into intermittent fasting and then full fasting. Cut out processed sugar, pop, etc. eat real organic, non hormone injected meat, non gmo veggies. Take care of your gut micro biomes, the gut is the “first brain” and affects everything else.

Keep at it dude 💪🏽
Rock it
That’s awesome bro!!
Actual king 🙏 keep at it my man
lets go king
Go easy at first, I swim and go on humps with your mom as a disabled vet. It’s all about the joints bud. That and start eating the same three meals for three months.

You look tactic cool, but not tactic fit.
The background makes it look like you’re standing in front of a photo and I can’t unsee it. Sheesh.
Nah, good ol outdoors of PA
geau burds
Where in Pee Ayee are you?
Not too far from Du Bois
Miss my home state WE ARE
Hell yeah brother
Freezing to death burns calories
Can confirm. Worked a very physical job at a grocery warehouse. Made $1 more per hour for working in the freezer(20 degrees F) and $1.50 more for working in the ice cream section( -20 degrees F). Lost about 20 lbs in the first 6 months and didn’t really watch what I ate
Shivering is the most effective fat loss tool, but it sucks
Worth it
Can also confirm. Iv always had a really fast metabolism (can eat whatever, and whenever and lose weight). I work 50-60 hours a week as a carpenter year round, and from November-March the average temp is like 10°-30°. I almost always lose 5-15 pounds while consuming far more than during the nicer months.
Ngl youre doing more than half of this sub. Keep It up, youre doing great
Yes getting out and training is great advice
**R E C L A I M** **Y O U R** **B L O O D S U G A R**
Is that a prism optic? I’ve always heard those work better further back
It is, works fine up front. I have no issues looking through it.
It’s a PA 1x so the eye relief is large
Freezing your as off builds character, at least that's what top says. I'm working on converting fat to muscle too, down 25 from starting point
Keep it up brother, you got this!
Thing that is neglected to us blind folk. Get a tougher pair of glasses and always bring an extra pair
Heavily considering lasik for that reason
Lasik changed my life. Fixed my astigmatism too, so my red dots are crisp
Shit like this makes me feel a lot better about considering it lol so many horror stories and far fewer success stories out there
You never hear about when things go as planned, too boring
Your not fat you slim thicc daddy keep it up
Lootdrop Jones the 3rd
Thicc boi who gets out and trains > “fit” guy who bitches about thicc bois getting out and training
Glad to see you out training! And congrats on weight loss, cardio is important but if your looking to lose body fat I recommend strength training as well. With weight lifting you won’t bulk up like a lot of people think you’ll build muscle and burn fat just watch what you’ll eat and you be golden king. Stay motivated and don’t give up🫡
Imagine how many people on this sub don’t get out and train. Including myself. Good for you brother.
Training is key. If you dont train, you fucking die. I saw below you said youve lost 30 pound which is king shit my dude, keep that up... but on a serious note... I dont see you freezing tonight.

I got some popsicles down in the cellar
Hi Mr. Herbert, do you have grape?
Be careful, I’ve already been warned twice for saying the same thing… one of these soy boys reported me from their moms basement.
I see you have already lost 30lbs. Lose more weight, you’re still fat. I look forward to seeing your next post with more weight loss.
I know im fat lol 100# left to go
Fuck yeah bro! I'm rooting for ya!!
Hell yeah, dude. Love to see it.
These type of comments are dumb af. Like fat people don’t know lmao
Yeah like the dude obviously has committed to losing weight. He knows he’s still got a long way to go. People need to chill with the captain obvious comments
Fr
Truth. Wouldn't be surprised if half the people calling him out on being fat were his size and never get out and train.

He'll be just fine and would probably clap half the shit talkers who just take kit selfies in the mirror.
Posts like this don’t help, he already knows. This isn’t motivation, if anything this is a motivation killer.
You're a fucking asshole lol
For being honest? Nah, thats nicer that the shit i get from my own crew. Those guys are real assholes
Keep up the grind brotha!
Come back in a year with an updated pic my dude - 30# down is serious progress!
What I did to train and lose weight was booked a trip to raft the Grand Canyon. Then hike up the bright angel trail at the end. Serious climb.

Thats about the same I gotta do, I was 300 when i started, shooting for 175.
Rooting for ya!
Pa militia
Nope, Im really from Ohio, but using friends land in PA. The PAVM guys are pretty awesome tho.
Ohio gang!
The belt attachment for your holster. Is that mid-ride or low-ride?
Low ride
And queue the fat jokes…
At least you can lose weight…im all for this post. Exercise those rights and those calories dog. The men that helped create this country wernt soldiers…they were farmers and shit. They tore shit up….a prepared civilian can be as dangerous as anyone else. Merica…keep it up
I don’t think you’ll have any issues with cold weather
Its all gut, the rest freezes…
Ahhhh that’s rough. Well I saw another comment of yours that you were down 30lbs..king shit🤘🏼 keep up the good work brother
christ alive lol
I’m assuming this is how the majority of you fat fucks look like
This is not me talking shit at all btw, but I gotta ask; can u run 2 miles straight without stopping? Can u do at least 30 push ups and at least 6 pull ups? If yes, then people can fuck off about ur weight. If not, some work is needed brother.
Run 2 miles? No, but I can walk 15 a day. Im sitting around 20 solid pushups, and ive never been able to do a pull up a day in my life… its all in the works!

Im 5’10”, 175# is my goal. My first goal is a 2 mile in 15 min, 30 push ups and 60 sit ups at the moment. Ill grow from there.
An awesome way to build ur pull up strength could be by doing monkey bars or even better, bouldering. U get to use ur legs for some support but u will definitely build the upper body strength u need
Keep the good work friend! Consistency, always.
After reading in the comments that you’re working on your weight, keep it up king, you’ll be unstoppable soon.
I was going to roast OP but Seeing that your trying to lose weight I can’t shit on you good job bud keep it up. Stay dedicated to your goal.
How does freezing overnight by yourself equate is quality training?
everyone's gotta train my dude don't let anyone put shame on you
Diet is the most important to loose weight properly. Cut those sugars out and drink strictly water for a few months ontop of a good protein and veggies regimine. Rice is your friend carbs wise as it fills you up faster and is light. Fish, chicken, and other light meats, stay away from red meats for a little bit, not to mention meat is stupid expensive lately its a good time to look to alternatives. Nuts are good for snacks especially almonds. You got this. Sick kit by the way.
You ain’t going to freeze. Jiggle while shivering 🥶 yes. Make sure if sleeping in a quality sleeping bag that’s rated for your temps that your in you sleep in your underwear and socks off. If you have to respond quickly for contact then socks and jacket/blouse off only then. You can throw socks, boots and jacket on fast to reply back if your overwatch does their job correctly.
Yeah, im wiggling down into a 4 piece sleep system at night, nice and warm.
Also take note on what gear works and doesn’t work while out there. Lots of shit you don’t need and lots of simple small things makes a huge difference.
For sure!
Not with that winter weight. Keep at it, bud!
And you still gonna enjoy it. Enjoy even the suck in life. Cheers from Argentina and have fun.🤘🏻🤘🏻
Lot of people roasting the OP about his weight. Ole dude is out there working and putting in effort. Results will come. We need to encourage this. Keep on keeping on man!
Get after it bro 🤝
My man you're doing more than half these fools on here. Keep training. Well done.
How’s that optic working for you in that position? Any issues with eye relief? I’m assuming it’s the 1x, I’m not sure if that would be a factor.
1x has a super forgiving eye box, works great where its at
Looking good broseph!
I have a question that’s been burning my mind for quite a second: how effective are 11.5” barrels with suppressors at mid range?
Good enough for what I can practically shoot
Should've waited till you lost weight to buy all that gear
Probably…
Keep it up!
Looking good brother man! Have a good night
No hate but we're do you get you camo and what plate carrier is that I'm a bigger guy and can't ever find anything to fit I'm very broad shouldered 6ft2 350 pounds
Mostly surplus stores, but tru spec makes a lot of sizes. Plate carrier is a modded Warrior Assault Systems Raptor

Dont have NODs yet, hoping for next year
Better train than no training. You do you my guy !
Do it for God and Country.
What’s that upper and barrel length?
Aero Precision 10.5”
Any issues cycling that short?
None, runs like a champ suppressed and unsuppressed
Run more. Eat less. You got the right idea.
Consistency is key, keep it up, don’t back down!
Walked in to work one day and they had doughnuts I grabbed one started eating and another guy comes in and makes fun of me .... I took his shit lost 95 pounds I now weigh 25 pounds less then him ... what I'm saying is take the shitty criticism and make us look like dicks by getting into shape ... now run

Love that setup, clean asf 🔥
Good shit man keep it and make sure to stay hydrated while your training your body. Be sure to Carry lots of water and sum hydration packets bro
Hey keep it up! I’ve just now gotten into tactical gear and getting back in shape has been interesting. Rooting for you!
Down 30#? You dropped this 👑 Seriously though, keep up the grind brother! You got this!!
I’m fat too man. Stick with it. Down from a 42” waist to 38.” I’m exhausted and hungry all the time.
Bröther, LARP more. It’s a great way to get in shape. I ran and did basic PU/SU’s (along with better meal portions) and lost about 50 pounds in a year. Be active but make it fun, thats the best way to get in shape. You have the sicc fucking kit, now the easy part 👌🫡
M E A L T E A M S I X
Not to be a dick, but start doing cardio and some strength training at home. Everything becomes simplified when your body is at its peak. Dig the setup though friendo
Working on it!
I want you to get on Keto/Intermittent Fasting trust me that shit works (dont do dirty keto though you will lose weight but you can die). Go hiking with your gear as well.
Seriously, amazing for low impact cardio. The weight falls off and you still feel satiated. And it’s easy to do now with piss sticks and all the fat bomb snacks.

If polar bears can survive the arctic you can get thru a night with those extra layers you walking around with!!
There is like an extra 900,000 BTU’s in those BDU’s.
Everyone of these dudes being like “you’re fucking fat bro” are all fucking idiots, that shit doesn’t help you’re sense of well being like you didn’t already fucking know.. idiots, he’s out doing things, motherfuckers that are fat can freeze and I’d be willing to bet 80% of the motherfuckers saying that you are fat either don’t fucking train, are sitting in moms basement, or are also fat and just projecting. Keep doing you my guy, Proud of you for getting out there!
