@thethao247h Honestly, it may be in the ballpark, but it's ultimately irrelevant. If you want to lose weight, track your calories, track your weight and see what happens in 2 weeks. Adjust your calories accordingly. Trying to tracked calories burned is just a fools errand and that number...

@atlkate Weight loss is the easiest thing to set a reasonable and obtainable goal. Don't think of it as "making yourself smaller", think of it as making yourself healthier (assuming you are overweight). This is all done through your diet anyway. But speaking of diet, maybe you could have a...

@christlike777 I'm sure if you google it, you could find something online about it. But beginner barbell is a good and simple way to start.

@erin136 How do you forget you've already had lunch?!? But absolutely try and be more mindful. Every meal and snack should have a protein first priority

@erin136 .8-1g per 1lb of lean mass. So using your goal weight is good, but even then, that's not your lean mass. So going off of .8 x 180, you could still go a bit under that. So 140g a day is plenty

@christlike777 Do you need pictures? You can just pick a proven routine from the r/fitness wiki and could either type it out on a document on your phone, or go old school and write it out in a notebook https://thefitness.wiki/routines/strength-training-muscle-building/

@igortachkent I'd focus on your diet, since you're eating too much for your activity level. Motivation is a fleeting bitch, you just gotta build habits and stick with em. Also it's about prioritizing your life and making time for shit. Maybe less Netflix or gaming or doom scrolling and fit in...

@blueskies88 I would just work on eating healthy and maintain at the moment. Once you start noticing some height change, just eat a little extra. 200-300 calories if anything. But really, I wouldn't put too much focus into bulking. Just eat healthy and listen to your body.

@oldcarnutfred Doing cardio isn't gonna build enough strength to matter. If you want to start building strength, go pick up some weights. Machines are intimidating, start on the lowest weight if necessary. But they are literally designed to go one way. Most of the time, the machine will even...

@joycekil Pretty much. And lifting! Make sure you keep lifting. But don't think of cardio as relating to weight loss. You should do some cardio that you enjoy because it's good for your health.

@blueskies88 Meds to reduce growth?? That's a new one and sounds really odd. But if you're thinking 6'0, then maybe just look to maintain your weight for a bit and grow into it some. At 6'0 you'll wanna be a bit heavier than you are now, so eventually you'll wanna eat more. You'll likely just...

@happilyretired A calorie deficit is all you need to lose weight. You'll burn fat as long as you're consistently in a deficit. But dude, 20k steps a day is a LOT. To actively go walk that would be about 10 miles. I did the 10k a day on average for a few months without dieting and it was still...

@1ofthechosen You want to hit your protein goals every day. You need protein while you're recovering, which is like the 36-48 hours after you lift. Just having high protein on your lifting days is doing yourself a disservice. You also very likely never need to go under 100g a day if you really...

@joycekil The more aggressive a cut, the more likely you are to lose muscle, even keeping with the protein goal and lifting (I assume you are lifting). So I personally wouldn't. You're still young and you have the potential to grow taller. So what I would personally do is just make sure you're...

@blueskies88 Just look at the other men in your family for a guess. If you're maybe gonna end up 5'8/5'9, then a little cut now isn't bad. If you have a chance to shoot up to 6'0, you wouldn't really want to be cutting, and maybe just maintaining there.

@1ofthechosen Creatine just gives you a tiny boost in the gym... it probably won't be noticeable. It doesn't help with weight loss and it's a tiny boost when it comes to building muscle only because it allows for you to get that extra rep or 2 in. Getting as much protein as possible from your...

@isaiah9six I follow what my routine says, which is typically a range. For example 3 to 4 sets of 13-15, 10-12, 8-10, or 5-7. Based on the rep range (and the rest time) I adjust the weights. The GOAL is to try and hit 15, 15, 15 (for example), but you want it to be a struggle at the end. So...

@blueskies88 You blacked out your lower belly on your pictures, and that's, imo, one of the tells of if you should cut or not. But considering you're 15, I don't think you've put on that much muscle mass that it would skew you off of the BMI chart yet. So I think you should do a bit of a cut...

@mommajulesberry If you are mostly whole foods with plenty of protein, if argue you really wouldn't need the meds anyway. But usually people don't get obese on whole foods, so the hard part is swapping to the whole food diet. The drug limiting your hunger (and from everything I've read about it...

@kj14 I would look into a proven routine still, but I do like that you've at least got progression going. Also, don't be afraid of free weights! There's tons of good info and proven routines over on the r/fitness wiki https://thefitness.wiki/ As for running... other than calorie burn, what's...
