Weightloss

At its very core weightloss can be broken down into the following:

Consume less calories than you burn on a daily basis and you will lose weight.

There are many different methods of achieving the above - the trick is to find what works and what is sustainable for you.

I'm sort of opportunist when it comes to eating... i.e. I will take whatever I can on a given day, sticking mostly to convenience, but I will always opt for the healthier choices where possible. I couldn't be arsed going further than that. Shopping and cooking and weighing for hours every week, with a ton of other commitments to squeeze in, kills it for me. I will look as miserable as Eeyore on a downer doing this.

Not saying OP should listen to me here at all. Just being too anal about nutrition above everything else might in some cases seem counter-productive?

Anyway whatever works and whatever OP has the time, commitment and motivation for :)

If you're not prepared to put in the effort, you will never be disciplined enough to lose weight. Yeah sure, you're motivated now; motivation is garbage. It's a fleeting moment of "yay I can do this!" and in three days you're back on the couch horking down a Big Mac.

You need discipline, and it sounds like all you're doing is making excuses already. It takes an extra 15 minutes out of your day.

Come take a look at me and tell me if I'm out of shape ;) I haven't been better in 10 years.

Being so pedantic about nutrition may be counter productive for some people - that is the only caveat I'm warning/preaching here. My advice is to eat healthier things generally speaking but don't go buying a scale, setting your timer, stocking up on Tupperware and cooking yourself spinach every single day. Life's unpredictability may quickly change your priorities to no longer accommodate that habit. Rather build a realistic habit to just practice common sense in your food choices and, unless there are medical factors or variables, you should be fine.

The only time you should be "disciplined" like a super star is if you're actually aiming to be one in that field (And nutrition/fitness is not everybody's primary field in life). Then by all means :)

Hey this is just an alternative I'm leaving out there, not expert advice :) OP must do whatever works best.

This is total BS - I see an issue and im looking how to fix it. Don't come talk rubbish and say its excuses - I know there is an issue and im seeing how to address it.

Whoa there! East tiger! Wasn't directed at you. No where in your posts are you making excuses.

It was more of a general post. I see it all too often, "I will do ANYTHING to lose weight, except diet and exercise!" :wtf:

Gym 4 days a week is good discipline, and in turn it will help your nutrition discipline. Keep at it though! It's easy to give up.
 
I went from 90 kgs in January to 80 kgs by end of August. My target weigh is 75 kgs. I go to gym 3 times a week on average.
