Can we talk about discipline and weight loss?
I know I need to lose weight. I also know how to lose weight and what works.
What doesn't work is my depression/anxiety/ decision fatigue.
I have narrowed down my failures to also emotional eating because growing up I have never talked about feelings / taught to. /Made acceptable.
So I eat.
Bored i eat. Stressed I eat.
I also struggle with PCOS and insulin resistance.i did lose a whole bunch of weight when 18 but frankly it was easier to focus on a weight loss journey when just me.
Now in 30s since having kids it's a whole another trip. I'm constantly tired. If not physically then mentally. So I look at all these tips on how to skip motivation focus on discipline. I read it all. I make all the plans except idont execute.
All I know is I have a coworker with kids in 30s who has weight issues and swelling and now with knee issues looking at replacement. Idont want it to be me. With my kids.
How and where do I just at one point tell myself to not freeze and do it.
To not eat at night when exhausted .
To trust the process and start the journey.
If you made it this far thank you.

Starting to lose weight
Hi everyone. I am a 29 year old, 5’11, 195 pound male.
I have been eating clean and cut back a lot on food intake.
I’m walking 4-5 miles daily and swimming about a half mile and doing yoga daily.
I am determined to reach my weight loss goals, now with that being said is there any legitimate “weight loss supplement” or tool?
I see mushroom coffees,lymphatic drinks, other stuff to “flatten” your stomach. A waist band to constrict your abs like a sit-up would (backed by the FDA) Etc..
I’m very skeptical on all of it and not convinced. My main point with this post is to ask, is any of it legit?
TIA.

Recommendations for weight loss journey?
Good evening!
(Quick preface - I’m writing from Europe so am not overly familiar with lbs and feet system, I hope the numbers I write are not too far off.)
So, I’m 30 yo woman and after realising I really disliked where my weight was at I decided to remedy the situation.
Problem is, I… might have done it wrong. On one hand, I’ve lost 26 pounds in two months (12 kg) and I’ve never felt better. I sleep so good, my face is finally slim again, my acanthosis is retreating at a super fast pace and generally I feel very happy.
On the other I’ve spent these two months and a half on 850 calories a day. I didn’t even eat bad! I made sure to have a day with extra calories and on all others I ate meals that were filling and diverse, low in calories and with as many proteins and fibers I could. Okay, on that front I didn’t do terribly good thinking back on it, they were def low in calories and diverse but as for proteins and fibers I could have done better.
For reference, I’m 167 (5’6”)cm tall and currently weight 80 kg (176 lbs). The end goal is 75 kg (165 lbs), because then I’m having a fat grafting operation and I need the extra fat. Also just generally I loved my body at 75 kg and I hate having a slim body, as I’m naturally masculine-looking and when I was slim it was very evident and I had terrible body dysphoria.
The problem is, lately I’ve noticed I’m really hungry. Since I’m on vacation til early August I’ve been adding two hours swimming sessions whenever I can and I feel famished with quite prominent cramping. I know I probably should add more calories daily but I’m terrified that by doing that I’ll retake all the kilos I’ve lost.
Do you have any suggestions for what could be a healthy calorie intake that won’t make me regain everything?
Thank you to whomever will answer ☺️.

Extremely lost
I have been feeling very lost in my weight loss journey. I struggle with pmos and ADHD so day to day is a big task.
Being consistent and disciplined is very hard and no amount of self love or self pity is helping me and feels like I have fallen off the bandwagon and that nothing is going to help.
Anyone experienced this and how they have gotten back to their routine and way of doing things and getting motivated and disciplined.
I was thinking maybe an accountability group or buddy might help me but I am very alienated from my friends and family because of starting a new job and quite honestly am feeling the worst I have felt in years.
So, here I am daring to say the word HELP to a bunch of kind internet strangers !

How do I achieve a build
Hello, I'm a completely fresh start, I've never worked out or desired to, but I recently want to start working out, but I can't find anything online that understands what I want to achieve.
I currently am 5ft 10 and around 18 stone , and all I know is I want a slim but not over muscly build where I can't see my veins because I hate veins, they scare meðŸ˜, I found that I need to aim for 15% body fat and that all I can grasp,
I would ideally like to know what workouts I should do and maybe like a plan on how to achieve this build, I've looked and toned is too much muscle but skinny is too little
If any advice or weight loss / work out plans could be shared that would be brilliant because I have no idea what I am doing.
So just a reminder so it's all together
Currently 5ft 10, 18 stone,
Dont like veins at all
Want to be not skinny but not muscly, something in between
And would appreciate advice
Thankyou

[F] 50kg+ down! Saggy skin and clothing advice needed!
Hi everybody. I’ve been on my weight loss journey for a year now and loss has been moderately fast. As expected, I’ve been left with a lot of excess loose skin on my upper arms, breasts, stomach, buttocks, and upper inner thighs. Of course, skin removal surgery is on the table for once I’m at my GW and maintained it for long enough, but until then I can’t do anything about it other than building muscle which always has a limit without juicing (which does not interest me in the slightest).
I ordered a pair of shorts that end just above where my thigh skin sits. They fit wonderfully, however my saggy thighs steal the show in a less than desirable way. I have control undergarments that do the trick especially for my stomach, but they don’t extend down to my thighs and would be on show if they did anyway. I would rather not have my control wear visible In the first place too.
Considering I’m maybe another year off until I go for surgery, does anyone here have any hacks and tricks to make these shorts and any other skirts and similar clothing pieces work with the loose skin? Maybe methods of taping the skin up or clothing combinations that would look cute with shorter bottom pieces whilst covering the sag? Maybe some particular tights that would look good under them whilst disguising or drawing attention away from the saggage? Any advice or tips appreciated!
