    sounds like a bunch of excuses to not get started…

    You control how much you eat and you can start controlling that aspect of your life right now, if you really want to …

    everything else that you list are just excuses…

    If you quit your job you could lose weight, really???

    loistryin I agree with you. I started from limited mobility by walking a quarter a mile a day taking about 15 rest stops and only cutting out soft drinks. I read and it was confusing but then the concept started to jell little by little but then more new research comes my way. :)

    Many on here have been very helpful leading me to have to do more research to learn if their views were sound or hollow. LolBroScience just a few days ago posted some good research as to why we lose just to regain it all if not more and how eating at a deficit was much more complex than just counting calories and I will post the link he provide below for you. You are on the right track and you will be able to move forward a step at a time.

    P.S. I forgot to mention we have some that post that have unresolved personal issues that will try to make you feel as bad as they feel on the inside.

    Stop spreading things you don't understand. It may hlbe hard to grasp as you say because you keep missing the point that it's for achieving low bf levels. You just don't get it. I see this is going to be the new thing you're going to tell people. Knock it off

    What are your thoughts to a holistic approach to weight loss?

    The reasons why we binge are not just because we enjoy a particular food but very much psychological so for many we need an holistic approach. To just say eat healthier or eat less, move more, can help but for many it's not enough. That said, I do largely follow the CICO principles as ignoring addictions/bingeing, you can't eat less than your daily requirements, move more and get obese.

    My confidence is highest when I am fit and at a comfortable weight. No reason to put of taking care of yourself physically. How much longer will you wait for the planets and stars to be in alignment before you gain the confidence to make the changes you need to be healthy? Don't put off now what you can do today. You have the ability to make the changes that you would like to see. You have to live in the present. Don't continue to hold yourself back by making excuses. Your health is your wealth.

    Your mental attitude and how you look after your emotional wellbeing is vital imo. People need to look after themselves to make sure they are in the best shape to do the task ahead. I deal that holistically and monitor where I am all the time. Push when its needed and chill when that makes more sense.

    It still has to be done in conjunction with counting calories eating less and moving more. You cant be holistic about that lest it becomes an excuse for being disorganised and taking the easy route.
