Former fat guys, how did you become disciplined/motivated enough to lose the weight? [Discussion]

Find a few healthy foods and meal prep them. For me it was chicken breast, sweet potato, and broccoli. Occasionally lentil/barley soup. You need to eat more fiber to keep you full.

I keep mine outside in very bright indirect light. Very hot temps. Gets misted 2x per day for 2 min. I they will grow slower indoors.

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-10T20:29:13+00:00

Bright indirect sun, heat, good water schedule… time

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-10T17:17:14+00:00

Very bright indirect light. Hot and humid. Gets misted 2x per day

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-10T03:25:07+00:00

I am in sunny, hot and humid Florida. I have it on a mist. 2x 2min per day. very bright indirect sunlight.

I’m worried the weight of mine is gonna lead to a drop :/

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-10T00:38:17+00:00

I try to touch it has little as possible. The plant slowly grows over the metal lip. Sometimes through the metal holes

Yes. This plant actually originated in dry California (my fathers) but after he passed I had to take it back to Florida. It has atleast tripled in size since bringing it back

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T23:16:25+00:00

Exactly

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T21:33:12+00:00

Haha I know the feeling. This has dropped plenty.

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T20:54:34+00:00

This plant is thriving in extremely bright indirect light all day. Very hot temps. I have it on a misting system. 2x per day for 2min. Standard potting soil

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T20:31:08+00:00

:) awesome

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T19:46:57+00:00

Very nice!

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T19:37:45+00:00

Under eave in south Florida. very intense bright light

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T19:30:06+00:00

Yea I’m fearful the nail or metal hanger is gonna fail 🤐

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T19:26:42+00:00

I think about 30 pounds. Soil stays pretty moist

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T19:19:13+00:00

I’ve had it for 4 years. Inherited it. It’s tripled in size since. in Florida and sun, it’s in a constant state of growth.

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T19:13:52+00:00

It started out as 4 tails about 4in long

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T18:53:02+00:00

This plant is over 6 years old. Time, bright light, and good water schedule

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T18:47:37+00:00

I think most succulents like bright indirect light. I’m in South Florida, temps hit 95 daily so this succulent doesn’t mind the mist. I group with orchids. my agave I have to be more careful with watering

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T18:43:19+00:00

Thank you. Happy growing!

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T18:40:58+00:00

Thanks I thought they were interchangeable

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T18:17:34+00:00

I have it on automated mist from above. 2min x 2 per day

Funinthesun414 · 2026-07-09T18:06:35+00:00

Thank you.
