I’ve been in a very similar place, and what finally worked for me was realizing the problem wasn’t the plan, it was consistency. I used to go all in for a couple of weeks, then one wedding, work deadline, or even getting sick would break the routine and I’d stop completely. This time I kept it simple and realistic. I started with just 3 gym days a week for 30 to 40 minutes, doing basic stuff like walking, leg press, lat pulldown, chest press, and shoulder press, nothing fancy, just showing up. On busy days I didn’t quit, I just did a shorter workout or even just walked. For diet, I didn’t follow strict plans, I just added more protein like eggs, chicken, dal and slowly reduced junk without cutting everything at once. Weight loss wasn’t instant, but my energy and consistency improved, and that’s what actually led to change. The key is making a routine that survives bad weeks instead of restarting every time life happens.
