I'm well over 200lbs now and that's not good, so long story short I need to lose weight and get back to my target of like 190-ish for my height.

Thinking about starting off small with walks, like brisk 30 min ones that get my heart pumping (as I get winded easy, sometimes just walking to get the mail). And as for food, start eating small portions of healthier meals.

So if you have any suggestions on how to go about this let me know so I can implement them. Thanks.

If you are quitting smoking and trying to loose weight at the same time, get some nicotine gum or patches

Nicotine is an appetite suppressant, you'll be fighting an uphill battle if you try to do both at the same time

Actually for me it's the complete opposite, when I smoke or vape I end up binge eating a lot.

Self Improvement

333 readers
66 users here now

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.

While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.

This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.

Rules and guidelines:

  1. Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.

  1. Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.

  1. Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.

  1. Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.

  1. Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.
