@anylene fwiw, I hated the gym a lot less after losing weight. besides the mental aspect, it's just physically uncomfortable and even painful sometimes to exert yourself if you're carrying more than a few pounds of excess fat. bending over sucks, squatting sucks, anything that squished my belly...

@jbsimmons I'm not sure why people are recommending MacroFactor since it doesn't sound like you want to track your diet at all. it's a huge upgrade over MFP, but I'm not really sure why that would be useful for you either. the activity tracking in MFP is vestigial at best and actively...

@johnmarsten yeah the guy is probably off-base. my hair is similar and the hair falling out of my bun/ponytail bothers me so I use bobby pins and/or a headband to keep it off my neck. but if it doesn't bother you then you'll probably be fine doing what you've been doing.

@shoeshavetongues having spent age 29-33 combatting chronic fatigue, I'm really not looking forward to this 😕

@cozicup it seems like you already know the answers. probably all of the above. or you had an off day. how do you feel about continuing at this pace? the real question is: what are you in a position to change? you can eat more or you can train less or both. sleep is harder to fix but it's...

@sf3612 seconding, I had the same thought. I lost 48lbs from June 2022 to September 2023 tracking with MacroFactor (now maintaining). for anyone who's comfortable with tracking and serious about body composition changes, it's absolutely worth the subscription price. the UX is super smooth and...

@vasvaria I tried this and mixed with water it's awful, but it's pretty good with nonfat fairlife.

@patrick226 nothing wrong with having an aesthetics goal. I agree with a lot of the advice here but one thing that's worth pointing out regarding the question in your post title: maybe a realistic goal is not to try for visible abs while you're also in grad school. both of those things aren't...
