Lazy, poor diet, poor time management. I'm at an age now though where poor diet is having a physical impact, like eczema (dairy and sugar) and bad water retention (salt). So, I have to cut them out completely, I"m not a person of moderation so shyt just has to go. I know what I need to do, just a matter of doing it now.

Did you ever drop weight?
For now i'm just standing pat. Still in that same weight range (250 ish). I' preparing to try the Keto thing while kickstarting an exercising regimen but it's all in the planning phases right now. I dont wanna start unprepared and fail. We were just talking about it in that other thread this past friday

Are you familiar with the Myfitnesspal app?

Never been "obese" but at some point i was starting to grt a little chubbier/rounder. At that time it was really laziness. But another reason i think people don't think about is that i tend to eat VERY fast. I think your mind doesn't have time to process you ate this much and that you're not hungry/thirsty anymore so you consume more in that same sitting.

Anyway, still eat fast but slowed down a little and i have to really be conscious about my pace. But the main thing that helped me lose the weight was lifting heavy (Stronglifts 5X5).

Get a Planet Fitness membership and become motivated. I walk 2 times a day on work days where my jov requires movement.

Never been obese, but I had fat in places I didn't need it. My problem was poor diet and being slothful. I just didn't care anymore at one point - I was just living day by day.

Then I got older and started seeing so many of my family members dying before 50 y/o and I had to make a change.

Started my workout journey almost two years ago and haven't looked back. I feel amazing. I have way more confidence. I literally feel reborn (weird, I know lol)

Big bones

This "reasoning" always got me! Lol

Would be wasted money. I’m already a member of a gym. My daughter plays two sports, I’m in grad school full time and I have a full time job. Still gotta cook, clean, do laundry, etc. My days are just full, but for real time at work is wasted lol. I’m trying to fix that.

Lol and I’m not immobile. I walk at work during lunch, take the steps, park far away and all that. Poor eating choices do me in.

Too much prep is a bad thing. Sometimes you just gotta start.

This isn't just fitness but with everything, people that want to stop smoking, do anything.

Start small if you have to but just start.

C.T Fletcher said it best "If you can't do what you want, do what you can." Even something is better than nothing.

Just walk around the block. Do 10 body squats. Even substitute one pop/soda with a glass of water.

Make unreasonable decisions but reward yourself for them. Like if you get the whopper combo, just eat the burger and fries, but no drink, and that 400 calories you saved on pop, have a cookie or ice cream cone. As you make alternate decisions and decisions on the fly, it'll become easier. Then youll be able to make smarter choices too. Knowing how to choose smarter alternatives isnt hard but choosing alternatives is a foreign concept to people that don't do it.

Too much prep can be a bad thing, there's always something not quite right.

"Well I want to start on a Monday so I can work out Monday, Wednesday, Friday"

"Well I need to start on the first of 15th so when I do this 90 day program it'll be the 1st or the 15th of...."

You just need a starting point and a safety net (backup plan). Like mine for riding or running is "I'm either going to do it outside or inside" I typically do it in the morning so I just check the weather and see what I gotta do. And on days I'm not motivated, just do it and get it over with.
