ITT: We pretend we're on a reddit fitness forum

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure how to start exercising. I am 4'11, 289 lbs, but, I hide it well. I recently tried keto and it doesn't work. I want to look super cool like one of the marvel heroes! I was hoping some of you kind x'irs could give me advice on how to lose weight and a good program for me?

Edit: Grammar

Edit 2: Thanks for the upboats!

    Hey xir/xey! I just wanted to let you know before you started that you're perfect just the way you are! I developed a very unhealthy relationship with exercise and diet. I'm currently 5' 3 at 255 lbs and started walking to the unemployment office (ya know, capitalism not caring about someone disabled like me and assumes everyone has a car).

    When walking, I realized I started to feel fatigued and out of breath. I ended up intuitive eating and found that this is given me a much healthier approach to food! Feel like vegan chicken nuggets? You go girl!

    Your body knows what you want better than anything else. Don't rely on toxically masculine gym culture.

        This. So much this. The automobile, with its combustion engines and belching exhaust, is a blight upon the landscape of our planet, and a testament to the shortsightedness of our species. Its very existence is an affront to the natural order, and a glaring example of our inability to recognize the true value of the world around us.

              Yeah, this was when trump was running the first time. The idea was that trump was voldemort. You had a bunch of college kids calling themselves "Dumbledore's army" and arising to fight evil Slytherine Trump.

              JK Rowling's books were largely an allusion to racism. I liked the stories and thought they were really creative but unfortunately it became a virtue signal and pandered to the lowest common denominator.

          not pretending to be a redditor for a minute here--

          IST has a type of humor I don't find at othe rplaces. I don't know anyone who brags about being an anon IRL, but most people I know that do use IST come here for the lulz and occasionally you find good advice in the hobby boards. My theory is most people started out on /b/ for the lulz back in the day and grew up and made it to the hobby boards. I hoenstly don't think most people here are basement dwelling incels like people say, but they are too lazy or don't care enough to fight that stereotype.

          I enjoy my time on IST, I always come back every so often, probably post a few times a month, but, overall this place is way better than reddit. Reddit is nothing but a giant confirmation bias generator and I have never even been on discord because I don't play video games anymore. I started using the video game time to workout.

            Sort of. A friend in highschool, back in like 2010, told me to check out /b/. That was the only board I ever went on. Grew out of it, stopped coming on IST a couple years later when I was getting my shit in order. Then at like 23 reconnected with an old childhood friend while I was in my redpill phase after some shit dating situations. He kept whining about women flaking on him and how fricked up they were so I mentioned redpill to him, he said “sounds like IST stuff.” (Turbo normie). Basically he started insistently telling me to go on IST, /b/ specifically, any time we talked. So I did eventually.
            /b/ was not what it once was. No more trolling and lulz, just scat porn, cuckolding, bbc, and all kinds of trash. I had gotten into lifting when I originally left IST so I checked out IST that day and stayed.

              IST will never be the same after the japanese guy bought it and Moot bowed out because you can get banned and theres blue boards and moderation now, but the internet in general got real corporatized, no more raids, etc. but many lulz were had and occaisionally there is some funny shit (Fappening, 2016 election/Trump posting a pepe and pepe becoming a symbol of white hate, etc) In general the hobby boards are at least original. At least you can still be anonymous and use racial slurs for the most part. Just don't go on IST worst jannies on this site hands down

              This was exactly it, /b/ became a botted porn board without any lightness or fun in it

        Actually,

        Many peopl today who claim to be Nazis are not Nazis, they are ultra nationalist authoritarians. Nazism had a mystique, and level of success that many ultra nationalist, right wing, authoritarians want to emulate. They use the icons and vocabulary of the Thrid Reich to Strike fear in supporters of neoliberalism, know it will strike a strong cord.

        Nazism was more than fascism, it was a very specific merger of fascism and 20th century German racial theory. Very few people today believe what Nazis did specifically, rather it's the spirit of what the Nazis did that interests them.

        At the end of the day its rule by bullies, might makes right, with a populist appeal to fear and xenophobia.
