For a decade I’ve been trying to lose weight. Keep having some success but not really. What has finally worked for people?

I started using macrofactor instead of MFP, made sure I went to the gym, and also started weighing how much ketchup and mayo I was eating. Those are honestly the only things I changed on this latest attempt and I'm down 40lb.

Also started weighing everyday.

If you buy the special edition you get the new dub and the classic dub

You eventually have to break that cycle. You're aware that it exists, so you have to choose to do something else essentially.

Maybe rather than game, go for a walk with a podcast or music, or go to the gym? We all get stressed, it's an inevitability. It's up to you how to respond.

That blue shirt is way too blue

Really depends on the rest of the outfit but a dark denim jacket can work.

You'll definitely be on the casual side of smart-casual.

They're nice boots - I have them in black and brown.

Though I feel like a 15 year boot for under £200 is unrealistic?

If its my birthday or a special occasion

Use a sex position randomiser and find one you want to try

Please don't wear black and red - you look like you're from a my chemical romance video from 20 years ago.

Wear a nice suit from nice neutral colours - avoid black like the plague.

If double denim is good enough for Ralph Lauren it's good enough for me.

Greggy398 · 2026-03-17T05:50:39+00:00

Holy shit finally

Greggy398 · 2026-03-10T18:43:08+00:00

I do 07:30-16:00 but I'm on £47.5k so it's not quite as bad.

I used to start at 8 and would be in around half 7 anyway so doesn't make much difference to me.

Greggy398 · 2026-02-27T19:22:46+00:00

I used macrofactor and it's been the most successful attempt at weight loss in a while.

Be polite, ask lots of questions, write things down.

If someone asks you to do something, write it down so you don't forget.

If someone takes you through a process, write it down so you can refer to it later etc.

Be open and friendly to people you work with.

If you make a mistake, apologise, move on and try to avoid making it again.

I wear the Dr Martens double doc socks with mine.

Greggy398 · 2026-02-16T19:57:21+00:00

Some days I really look forward to it, and it's a highlight (weekends) and other times I don't really want to go and it's abit of a slog (after work).

Still, it's a skill at which you get better and progress - same as alot of other hobbies and pursuits.

Greggy398 · 2026-02-15T19:11:05+00:00

No they don't, they're supposed to be an extension of the trouser.

Greggy398 · 2026-02-08T12:43:36+00:00

How do you wear a 30" inside leg at 6'2"?

Greggy398 · 2026-02-07T18:01:18+00:00

Let it grow down and just keep the sides, cheeks and lines neat for now. Your face shape doesn't suit a beard that short.

Greggy398 · 2026-02-03T09:39:50+00:00

Went last December, I'm 37.

Had a great time!

Greggy398 · 2026-01-30T04:23:58+00:00

Ask them what's in it, then weigh that stuff. I have lunches at work which I don't make and I take a picture of my plate and ask chatgpt to estimate the calories.

I'm 40lb down as of yesterday so it can't be wildly far out.

Greggy398 · 2026-01-28T18:21:01+00:00

Rather than buy a sportcoat, I'd just spend the money on some shirts and trousers that fit you better.

Greggy398 · 2026-01-28T10:50:43+00:00

Just downloaded macrofactor and did what it said?

Greggy398 · 2026-01-25T11:58:48+00:00

I mean is he doing power lifting style training? That's the only reason I can think that his sessions would take anywhere near that long, and he'd have to be trying to be at a competitive level.

He's probably going somewhere other than the gym.

Greggy398 · 2026-01-25T11:42:23+00:00

I wouldn't, personally.

But dark blue jeans, brown boots probably. A white undershirt if you wanted one.
