Hello /fit/. I come from /r9k/ seeking advice. I'm tired

hey robot,

one thing that's really important is: don't view whatever you're doing as a temporary lifestyle change e.g. if I can just diet for 6 months I can go back to normal. look at this whole process more as trying to inculcate positive habits that become a new normal. This is hard, and it's slow, but it's the only way to make sustainable progress.

Motivation isn't enough; discipline is the critical thing. But discipline, fortunately, can be learned. Don't bite off more than you can chew, but absolutely don't allow yourself to regress after having made progress.

good luck; you're gonna make it.

Black coffee.

A good first step for me, was to go completely cold turkey regarding fizzy drinks. Once I realised I could break a harmful habit by myself I knew there was some hope for me after all. And hey, if I, a guy around your height who started 140lbs heaver than you, can make a lifestyle change then I'm damn sure you can too.

Yeah, I've tried on and off for a few years to lose the weight but I'm pretty much on a precipice at this point. I realized that I'm at the point where if I do nothing I'll likely be unhealthy for the rest of my life, and that's def not the plan.

Sodas were easy for me to stop drinking, my nemesis is starchy snacks.

Hello fellow bot, I was in a similar situation to you, 6'2" 245 when I started. Since you already read the sticky my advice is follow one of the beginner guides listed, I did StrongLifts for about 3 months before moving to a more intermediate program. But what path you take is up to you. And like another anon said it's not a temporary fix, make it part of your lifestyle. Good luck, we're all gonna make it brah.

Started at 270' a year ago

193 right now. Still have another 20 pounds to go. It's not as hard as you think, you just have to stick to it. No matter what.

Black coffee with no sweetener has about two calories a cup and murders appetite. Also gives you energy you can use to exercise with and will make you shit out the bones of all the small children you've recently devoured.

Read the book "Starting Strength", it has tons of helpful advice. There should be a download ling in the plg-thread

Man, listen to me. I've been in this ride for years. This place is.bad for you. Don't stick around, don't lurk. Read the sticky again and look for ss.fitness, is another one. The sticky is the only good thing about this board.
Trust me before you try yo kill yourself: read the sticky again, then leave forever' go lift

Do intermittent fasting

That's not a very healthy way to lose weight anon

>>40857949
how so?

>>40857960
You're talking about eating one meal a day right?

That's not healthy.

You can get on a meal replacement diet and achieve the same results without losing out on nutrients

>>40858005
If you take the same food you eat over the whole day and eat it in one sitting, you are still getting the same nutrients.

Time. It's way too easy to overthink this. Never stop.

Good advice. I come for the memes and to drop an occasional compliment
