Any tips on staying disciplined with eating/exercise ?
A few tips that worked for me (101kg down to mid 80s)
1. Get comfortable with being hungry. You don't have to eat every time you feel hungry. I found that once I got over the initial shock, it was almost more comfortable being hungry than not.
2. Start your exercise moderately... go for a walk a couple times a week, up the distance and frequency during the next weeks/months. Throw in a run every now and then.
3. Do some body weight strength exercises, this will burn more calories than your walk.
4. Reduce/eliminate the grog intake.
The discipline will come when you see results. Don't weigh yourself daily. Do it once a week at the same time of day with the same amount of clothes on (or none before a shower for examples). Once you start to see results, it will spur you on to keep going.
At the end of the day, its calories in needs to be less than calories out. No other science to it.
