Will power and weight loss

Hi, as someone interested in amateur bodybuilding I started a glp-1 antagonist a few weeks ago. As a male in their 20s I’ve always maintained a somewhat decent physique between 15-22 percent body fat , however I’ve always found this to be a Herculean effort, where if there was any snacks in the house I would find myself gorging on them until the point of discomfort. Since starting this medication, for the first time in my life I’ve actually been able to say no to extra servings of food and feel as though I have some willpower surrounding my food choices. As a result I’ve been dropping weight. And have for the first time, felt in control of my food choices.

Throughout my life I have maintained a good physique but have felt as though it required an ungodly amount of willpower to not release my inner fat kid.

What is happening here at a molecular level that I can manipulate so that when I inevitably come off these medications I can make smart food choices easily and without feeling shackled?

plateau then sudden drops?

hi! i'm currently on a weight loss journey for about 3-4 months now and have lost a significant amount of weight. i kinda reached a plateau at times for about more than a week, and when i tend to eat more that day (due to catching up with friends or i get busy with work so i need more energy)/didn't work out that day, it shows on the scale the next day that i lose even more weight suddenly hitting a new weight loss milestone. why is this so? is this normal? should i start increasing my calorie deficit or not work out everyday and have more rest days? 🙏🏻

I’m in need of workout motivation

Hello everyone. So I have been on a diet for almost six months now. Diet is working, slowly but working. I have lost some 6kg, goal is to lose another 10. I have an issue though: I cannot find the motivation to workout. Even tho the diet works even if I don’t exercise, doing so would not only make the whole process easier and faster but it would make me healthier and help me keep my goal weight once I get there, thanks to more lean mass. The problem is I cannot seem the find the will to stick to my workout schedule. Following the diet is easy, my doctor (I am followed by a nutritionist) is very good and has made a tasty diet that doesn’t leave me starving. But exercise is another matter entirely. I hate it, I have always hated it, I cannot bring myself to do it. I particularly hate that it gets me sweaty and I have to shower afterwards and that just takes away huge chunks of my time, especially since I have very long and dense hair that needs to be washed after a workout. Every time I attempt to resume a workout schedule I stick to it for two weeks tops and then I just drop it. I’ve tried motivating myself with pictures of what would be my ideal body, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I am also about to graduate, I am writing my thesis, I am behind with the work so everyday I find myself pondering if I should waste two hours of my time exercising and showering when I should be writing the thesis. But I also do not want to look like this in my graduation pictures, that’s my main motivation for weight loss but apparently it’s not enough to stick to my workouts. Any suggestions? How do you motivate yourself? I really need to get to it at least four times a week.

Community

Hi there!

I was wondering if someone knows some good places /apps etc. For community weight loss motivation. Like a place you can chat or post daily to keep track of your journey and hold each other accountable. I really feel like something like that would be so motivating. I really would love to start my journey on becoming healthier and feel better in my own skin. I always struggle with over eating and discipline. I feel like i started over many many times. I would love to have a community to post and chat daily.

Advice on getting though the holidays

So I started my weight loss journey around the end of October. In down about 17 pounds. So last week on thanksgiving I decided to not track calories and just enjoy the day. I also decided not to keep track the couple day after as there were a bit of left overs I knew I would be going over. I figured I could start fresh today and be okay. The thing is I found myself feeling sad about not getting to indulge in the sweets and holiday coffees/hot cocoa. Any advice for maintaining a calorie deficit without feeling like I’m missing out?

tips on getting back on track?

hi all, so i was on a weight loss journey from spring 2024-spring 2025 and i was able to go from 160lbs down to 125lbs (I am 5'1) . However, I got a job over the summer working in a restaurant, and i find myself eating the high-calorie foods there and snacking and have since gained 10 pounds. I would like to get back on track to 118lbs, which was my original goal but i'm struggling to do that. I feel like I'm always thinking about what to eat, always snacking and then feeling guilty after eating over my calories. It's also really hard when i'm constantly surrounded by food, i'm really lost on what to do. Any advice or tips is appreciated !

December - weight loss journey

I am finally starting my postpartum weight loss journey. I would like to lose 40 lbs.

I was going to wait till January but figure why not now right ? So I start tomorrow.

Holding yourself accountable this Dec?

How are you guys gearing up for the holiday season? Enough to enjoy but also not go all out. Share all your tips and tricks.

I will be doing a 24 day workout advent calender ( to stay motivated )

I actually am new to my weight loss journey but told myself instead of starting in January I should start now. So it's not too much all together and feels easier come new year.
