i wouldn’t say i’m overweight, and i know that the BMI index is not necessarily reliable, but i do feel like over the years i’ve kinda lost the figure i used to have. i mostly stay at home and code now, whereas a couple years back i used to play a competitive sport on a daily basis.
how do you guys lose weight, or stay fit, as adults? i’ve tried the gym, i just don’t really like it there. i feel insecure, and i don’t really utilize many of the machines they have there since i don’t want to bulk or gain muscle. for christmas, i got a yoga mat and some dumbells. do lemmers have resources for creating a low-maintenance workout plan?
there’s also the whole diet thing. how do you count calories, eat well balanced meals, etc? i already struggle with meal prepping, and feel like having to account for calorie intake would make this even harder. or would that make it easier since i would get good at making the same things? idk, it’s stressful but i’m hoping to take better care of myself in 2022.
Yea I know its not ideal but the problem is that adherence is the most important factor and I cant adhere unless I see very strong results. This is producing that, and I am adhering. I have fallen off the wagon a million times because 1 pound per week is not enough to keep me excited. 4lbs a week is, and its working. Best practice stops being best practice if you stop doing it altogether and human willpower is a massive part of it. In the end, it’s one of those things that Im going to cross my arms like a 5 year old and say “i dont care, this is how im doing it” and no one can tell me different, for better or for worse.
