I use Home Chef and so my meal portion sizes and calories are pre-set. I often feel hungry or like I could eat more when I finish. I just distract myself for a few minutes and then I feel full. I picture my digestive system like an automatically closing window with a timer. When I start eating a meal, the clock starts on…

Get some dumbbells or an adjustable dumbbell set and do a strength training routine at home, as long or as short as you want, watching/listening to whatever you want. This way you can graduate from couch potato to weight bench potato. It's also inexpensive to add a simple, foldable weight bench and gloves to avoid…

Somewhere I got the idea that 12-15% for men is where the body fat starts to disappear enough in places like abs to start looking defined. That's my current goal. It's definitely the range recommended to be at before starting to do a bulk if you're going to do that. I want to hit 165 pounds for my 6'2 height and see. I've…

What's helped me is not giving up the things I like. Find a treat that you crave but where you can still exercise self-control. For me that is peanut butter chocolate ice cream. Just one half of one of those little tubs is 580 calories. But I can save up for it, on workout days mostly, and enjoy it at night. It helps this…

You guys have a lot of exercise myths in your thinking, I believe. Full 2-3 minutes rest between sets is optimal. Check the link and rid yourself of your myths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujRwf1HdNjk&t=3974s

Well, it's only 3 sets of everything except Hammer Curls and Bench Presses I do 4 sets sometimes. It's every other day. Honestly, where's the junk? Push Ups and then the rest with dumbbells: Lateral Raise Bent-Over Row Romanian Deadlift Bench Press Arnold Press Goblet Squat Shrug Declined Abs Calf Raise Hammer Curl Wrist…

I don't go to the gym either, but I spend 2+ hours on strength training with dumbbells every other day. I guess being at home gives me the time to wait the full 2 minutes rest between sets because I'm not at the gym and I'm not away from all my stuff. I can still do things around the house or work remotely or sit and play…

I quit smoking cigarettes by letting myself smoke marijuana instead, as often or as much as I wanted to smoke. Worked like a charm

The ultimate result is your weight measured over weeks of time. I wouldn't worry as much about the preciseness of your measurements in your case, due to the external factors, and the understanding that it makes you want to give up. I'd keep doing what you're doing but just add an additional "handicap" like in golf. Set…

Unorthodox suggestion and I'm not a paid shill, but it works so well for me. I buy Home Chef meals every week and they have the calories per meal already calculated for you--it's great portion control. Make a 2 serving meal and save one for leftovers. The calories are between 350-750 per meal and because it's more fresh…
