I’m really struggling to stay consistent with my weight loss journey and I honestly feel pretty stuck right now.
For about six months, I kept telling myself I’d start losing weight, but last month was the first time I genuinely tried. I didn’t work out much — I just stayed in a calorie deficit and walked 10,000 steps a day — and I actually lost 4 kg. I was really proud of myself because for once I didn’t gain weight, I lost it.
Lately though, I’ve fallen back into binge eating, and I’m scared I’ve already gained a kilo back… maybe even more. That fear alone is really discouraging.
I want to start working out, but the beginning has been rough. I can’t do a single push-up. I’ve been trying knee push-ups, but I’m pretty sure my form is wrong, which makes me frustrated and I end up giving up.
I was super motivated to go to the gym back in December, but throughout 2025 I paid for a membership for about 4 months and barely went. It got to the point where people started joking that I just donate money to the gym, and honestly, that hurt. I really want to prove them wrong, but now I feel embarrassed to go back. On top of that, the membership price went up in January, and as a struggling college student, I don’t know if I can afford it this semester.
I know my biggest issues are:
- a terrible sleep schedule
- laziness / lack of discipline
- binge eating after dieting for a while
So I guess my main questions are:
- How do you stay motivated long-term when dieting and losing weight?
- How can I properly practice push-ups as a beginner?
- What at-home exercises would you recommend if I can’t afford the gym?
- Would anyone be willing to share a simple, high-protein weekly meal plan that’s actually realistic to stick to?
Any advice would really mean a lot.
