How do I become more disciplined?

By being discipline what I mean is how to not give in to my desires? For instance one thing that really sets me back is waking up, when I wake up and I am groggy, more often than not I will just go back to bed which leads to me not being able to cook breakfast before going to work which in turn leads me to eating junk food. Sometimes this also extends to cooking my week's meals before hand or even sitting down and eating, some times I'll go "eh I'm not hungry" and wait till I'm really hungry before eating, but instead of eating the chicken with rice I am supposed to eat I'll shove cookies, bread and what not on my mouth. So how do I stop that? How do I stop myself from going back to sleep and force myself to eat the damn lunch during the right time. Also, before anyone says to not buy food that's bad for weight loss, my wife some buys them, and she's way better at this stuff than I am but I'm not gonna tell her to stop buying what she likes because I can't get my shit together.

Weight loss plateau?

Hi everyone, I’ve been struggling to lose weight. I started off my weight loss journey back in February. I weighed 142 at the time and have lost 23 pounds. I was in a major calorie deficit of 800 calories a day and burning 2000 calories to 2500 calories a day for 2 months. I’ve raised my calorie intake from 1000 to 1400 calories a day. I’m at 119 and i’ve stop losing weight. It’s been like this for the past month. I believe I’m in a plateau if there’s any advice that you can give me to surpass this please let me know. Along with any nutritional advice, workout routine, or how much should I burn a day or calories I should consume in a day. Thank you for listening and for all the advice!

Here’s further info: Female BMR: 1241 cal Body fat: 24.6% BMI: 22.7 weight now: 118.4 Start weight: 142 Goal weight: 100 height: 5'0 19 age activity level: walks 10,000 steps a daily burn at least 2,000 calories average daily Eat about 1000 calories a day

I want to lose fat Use weight lifting to build muscle for my glutes Use pilates to have toned back and arms

BMI rant

I just wanna say that I think BMI is bullshit lol. I’m currently 227lbs 5’4” 23F and I’m at 39% BMI. Very high I know. My goal weight for now is 180lbs which is 52lbs at the start of my weight loss journey. I think that’s significant and will totally be noticeable (I’d think) when I get there.

Now the problem. If I type in the info I’m at but at 180lbs I come out to be 30% and still considered obese, when that is SIGNIFICANTLY better than what I was at the start (235lbs).

I sadly avoid the doctor for some problems that have been happening for a while and probably caused because of the weight because I know they’ll point at my weight and tell me to lose it. I’m terrified I’ll go in after I have lost significant weight and still get told to lose more since the ideal weight for my height and age is 140ish.

Off track a little, my point is if I feel good at 180 and look happy at 180 I think it’s healthy and the BMI calculator would no longer apply to me. I just wanted to rant and maybe see if anyone would agree or thoughts about it.

Lost 65 lbs and super unhappy with the appearance of my body

31 F, I recently lost 65lbs and have about 25 more to go for my goal weight. I’ve had two children and after that plus weight loss I look like a saggy bag of crap. My boobs lay flat on me and reach my middle gut. My belly hangs low. Even tho I’m at a healthy BMI finally I feel like the extra skin and sagging takes away from my accomplishments. A “mommy makeover” surgery is upwards of 30k!!! I genuinely can’t imagine taking that much away from my family for something superficial, yet I look at my reflection and know that exercise will never take the skin away and lift the boobs. How do you come to terms with the new look after weight loss? I know I can’t be the only one who can’t afford a surgery like this. I’m so angry with myself for gaining all that weight to begin with.

postpartum losers: what is our starting weight

are you using your walking-in-to-deliver weight as your starting number or are you using a number from later, like for example 6 weeks postpartum? when people say "i gained xx pounds when i was pregnant," it obviously includes the baby and extra fluids....

i know it's not technically weight loss but also it was a lot of work! but also i don't want to misrepresent my progress.

i've lost 20 pounds since getting the clear to exercise but 35 pounds since going in for delivery, curious what other folks are doing!

I’m a 23 year old female, and 5’8. Posting diary’s here on Reddit to keep me accountable and motivated. Been trying to lose weight but keep falling back, I would lose 10 then fall off and lose motivation. My goal is to eat 1600 a day, and do 3-4x workouts a week… I will hit my goal of 168 by the end of august.

Calorie goal: 1600

Breakfast: 190 Cals

https://youtu.be/QOS7dFvAUz0?si=JEVqP1pr6oBSGxkF

Lunch: 500 Cals Asian style ground Turkey with cabbage over a cup of cooked rice

Dinner: someone’s birthday dinner. I have about 1000 left.. I’m just going to eat what is served but in very small portions. I also made them my homemade cookies, which I plan to not eat while I bake, so I can enjoy one cookie later :)

Going to go on a walk after work with bf. I have gym acess next week so this week will be walks for now.

325 at 6,3 to 280

I started my journey back in September at 325 pounds. I started working out. I found that I wasn’t losing any weight, but I was gaining muscle mass what inclined me to start cutting was after my knee surgery in January I decided that being obese is not as safe as I presumed it to be post surgery I was sitting at roughly 310 pounds. I started working out even though I had to use crutches in the gym and still go on with physical therapy, but I disregarded my calorie intake that was my mistake. I slowly regained and went back up to 330 pounds, then I started eating less about 4000 cal diet while still working out no cardio a few days ago I researched if it would be safe to start a 1500 cal diet. My research said to stop if I felt any dizziness or pain in my stomach but sluggishness is to be expected when I started my diet. I was 315 pounds that was four days ago so far I drink a gallon of water a day and stick to my 1500 cal diet now 304 pounds slowly but surely it’s working. I still go to the gym five days a week, but it is rough because of how tired I feel but now I think my body has adjusted to using my fat as nutrients. I’m slowly working towards 280 pounds lean. and continue to look forward to going to the gym and continuing my weight loss journey.
