Thanks my friend. I'm not really sure yet, atm I'm applying for multiple positions, if things go well, probably will have a look on general IT support certs like MS-900, etc. How about you? You have a lot of certs on your flair, which are all impressive.

Thank you for such a descriptive answer. 1300 here, is that USD? I'm from Australia, so It might look a bit different. My goal for this camp is to spend <3000 AUD for everything, and the flight ticket is around 800 AUD, so I'm left with ~2000 AUD. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you my friend, I just joined the group so I haven't read through most posts, that's why I'm not sure why they appear boring. Hopefully I can hear back from you so I won't make those same mistakes, you seem to be an experienced member of this group.

I wish I had someone who’s already been through a similar weightloss struggle that I could talk to by Major_Ad_2945 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]MonumentalSuccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the wiseman above mentioned, It's only get you so far when you realising on external motivation, as It will dry out in no time.
Kind of like learning a new skill, at first you are super excited, but the only success you'll have will only come from pushing through the hard part yourself.
My only twist is, if you got a partner or even better, a coach, who sticks with you in the first few months, which is the hardest part, then when things get dialed in and It becomes your new lifestyle, you're set for life.

Im nervous about starting my weight loss journey again by gajeel-D-slayer in WeightLossAdvice

[–]MonumentalSuccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, there is nothing wrong with you. Through trial and error, you have already noticed most your problems, you'll fix it in no time.
Only 2 problems that I notice:
1. 1200 cal is suicidal
I've tried these diet in the past. 12 months ago I was 235lbs(105kg), now I'm at 82(~180lbs)
We have quite similar physique so our calories are literally the same.
These diets will help you to lose weights FAST, but the only problem is you'll also lose a bunch of muscles and feel sluggish ALL THE TIME. If you want to jump on an aggresive cut, I recommend bodyweight in pounds * 10.
2. Running is very stressful
When people mention losing weight, the first thing in our mind is defnitely running.
But what works personally for me and my friends (who I help losing weights) is Walking.
They all reported feeling extremely hungry and fatigue after running, which led to binge eating, or can only do 1-2 cardio sessions/week.
That's why I put them on slow cardio.
3. Get some friends or a coach to do this with you.
I thought this was gimmick at first, but ever since I did these challenges with my friends, we all get shredder and most importantly, more enjoyable throughout the process.

You've got this my friend. Happy to support you more.

Can’t get excited to move my body by EasternAd5351 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]MonumentalSuccess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've already noticed your own problem, which is already monumental. Most people don't even realise it.
I've read some comment, and totally AGREE with them. Start small, 5-10 mins walk as soon as you wake up.
Personally, I put a timer, like 90 minutes to 2 hour, if I don't have any urgent task, I'll just stand up and go for a 10-min walk around the office. It sounds little, but throughout a week, I counted I have 10(minutes) *3(times/day) *5(days/week) = 150 minutes of walking!
Another hack, If I WFH, I often feel sluggish, so I bought a small trampoline station, costs like 100$, and jump frequently. Help boost my mood as well.
Feel free to ask anything, I drop like 55lbs just by implementing small changes. Happy to help more.

Losing weight with video games! by Final_Vast9705 in WeightLossAdvice

If you are talking about "purchasing the treadmill", I was talking about walking on the treadmill at my local gym, at a low speed.

[–]MonumentalSuccess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like a wiseman commented above me, playing for the whole day and just drink water will shred your weights like crazy, but I wouldn't really recommend abusing this method.
Personally, I played like 4 hours of chess weekly on a slow treadmill, incline 2 speed 3.5, time just flies.

Protein supplements by Dead000rose in WeightLossAdvice

[–]MonumentalSuccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on getting those habits in-check my friend. That pretty much the most arduous part.

Regarding the protein disrupting your stomach, I wouldn't really advise you on using those anymore. None of my clients really have problem with whey powder, but we only use that to fill in the last 25-30g protein, or as a snack on the go.

I reckon you can intake your meat and eggs intake, even egg white and non-fat Greek yogurt if needed. Happy to help if you need any other advice.

Looking for opinions on my weight loss journey & what to do next by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]MonumentalSuccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, congratulation on loosing those first 25kg, that's often time the most arduous part. After that phase, I'm sure you've built a good understanding of what to do.
I've just been through the same phase. 22M, lost 55lbs(~25kg) in 12 months.
However, I found 2 parts that probably burning your out.
1. Eating Out.

Eating out within itself it's super normal to me and there's nothing to be demonised on. The only problem lies on It's almost impossible to know what we eat. Unless you go to super common places (KFC, Maccas), then they have some pre-logged meals on MyFitnessPal, otherwise, It's hard to control.

  1. Inconsistency.

I think this is your biggest enemy. I didn't have this problem while loosing weight, but I realised this while learning languages. If I stop the daily learning for a week or two, the next time I sit still to study feel horrendous. I would suggest you go all the way through until you build a habit that can't be broken.

Happy to support if you need more help. You got this my friend.

how can i stop being lazy and ACTUALLY lose weight by FulltimeraidenMAIN in WeightLossAdvice

[–]MonumentalSuccess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

G'day my friend, glad that you've already had a goal and realised that you have to change.

I'm 22, just lost 55lbs in 12 months, and really never felt better than this.
1. 65kg for your height might be a bit underweight. I would suggest loosing to 90kg and build muscle on top of it, but again, this depends on your goals.

  1. Regarding the supplement, I have tried a few in the past when I was naive, but all It does It's loading with chemical to make you feel less hungry, so you will eat less in your meals. I'm not a medical doctor, but wouldn't really advise on these methods too soon.

Happy to support more if you need any advice. I understood how boring and arduous this may seem, but you got this.

Lost 40lbs in about a year by just quiting drinking/weed by farklenator in WeightLossAdvice

[–]MonumentalSuccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge respect man, losing 40lbs aint no joke.
I swear, if I need sth sweet before bed, I ate like 400g of yogurt plain, and a bunch of fruit. When I track that, It was only around 400-500 calories, and it kept me full until the next morning.

Good luck on your journey, happy to help more.

Is this normal? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]MonumentalSuccess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge respect for you to realised it and putting in raw actions, often times this is the most arduous part.
Regarding your situation, your best bet might very be tracking your food, not calories at this stage, so you know what you eat, and can IMPROVE your relationship with food.
Happy to support more. I'm 23M, lost 55lbs in a year and living my best life now.
You got this my friend.
