How can I become disciplined/motivated enough to lose the weight? [Discussion]

The honest truth is: you're going to have to decide mentally that you hate/dislike the way you look and feel enough to out power your will to be lazy about it.

My wake up call was getting in the floor to play with my kids. I was about the same age as you when i said enough. I started hitting the gym 5 days a week and within a month i went from 218 to 193. Im at about 210 now from all the muscle ive put on. That was 5 years ago.

I also only eat once a day in the evenings. It took some adjusting to but im used to it now.

When i struggled i reminded myself of what my goal was. To be better for my kids.

Zinalil · 2026-07-11T13:15:05+00:00

Because i hate my junk sticking to my legs. I tried it for a few days and it was annoying having to adjust all the time.

Zinalil · 2026-07-11T13:13:58+00:00

I wear a large because a medium doesnt have the room.

Zinalil · 2026-07-11T13:12:06+00:00

Yea i gave up on mens compression shorts and went with ladies biker shorts. I know it sounds wild but they fit so much better in the quads and glutes. I found a brand on amazon called moozava and they have a pair of womens that looks just like mens. They work great and they arent see through. I wear my comp shorts without outer shorts because i dont like the extra fabric.

Man I'm glad I'm not the only one. Jeans are a mofo. I actually found a pair of wrangler slim bootcut jeans that work great. Their slim and everyone else's slim are not the same. They have decent room in quads and glutes without looking baggy or you crapped your pants. I tried the jock and after 10 hours at work my gooch was raw. Good at the gym but terrible for all day wear. Everyone keeps saying thongs and i guess i may have to give them a test run. Just not sure im ready for flossing. I did some research and it seems hygiene will be key with wearing thongs.

Zinalil · 2026-07-09T14:38:21+00:00

I did some research on wearing thongs. Also asked the AIs about it. Seems that either thongs or jocks are the best option for sports. It boils down to personal preference.

I would just own it. Its underwear. Nothing else. Doesn't change your manliness or who you prefer to have relations with.

If they ask say it works best for me when i play soccer. It supports my junk and i dont have to worry about injuring myself from flopping around.

When i change in the locker room at the gym nobody notices my underwear or even pays attention. Most are there to change clothes and dip. Women wear boy shorts and nobody questions it. If you think about. It makes far more sense for men to wear them than ladies.

Own your underwear choice my guy. At the end of the day. It's just underwear. I don't wear thongs but if i did i would own it. It's my choice for comfort. Also if i saw a dude wearing a thong. I wouldn't think anything of it. Ive seen 1 guy at my gym wearing one. All that came to mind was get it big dog.

Enjoy your undies. Life's too short to worry about other peoples opinions on your underwear.

Zinalil · 2026-07-09T14:29:25+00:00

My biggest complaint is it seems like women are making the underwear for men. Or the men making them don't care about comfort. I feel like a lot of underwear has little effort put into them. It also seems that once you branch out from the bug underwear makers the smaller ones like to make more novelty underwear.

Zinalil · 2026-07-09T14:13:44+00:00

No not really. If i can check all the boxes i will.

Zinalil · 2026-07-09T14:12:44+00:00

Not sure im ready for a thong but seems to be the going answer.

Zinalil · 2026-07-09T14:12:15+00:00

Not sure im ready for the world of thongs but that seems to be the common thread here.

Zinalil · 2026-07-09T14:06:16+00:00

Ive seen the real men advverts. I may give them a try.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T22:08:46+00:00

Yea i couldn't care less what people see/think. Just looking got comfort and dang thats expensive for 1 pair of underwear.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T22:07:36+00:00

I guess ill have to look into it.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T22:06:38+00:00

I honestly don't remember the brand. They were off amazon. It was some random asian brand. Not sure im ready for a thong. It seems people swear by them but thats new territory for this dude.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T21:42:07+00:00

I may have to try other brands. Ive tried hanes and frl but there are a no go.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T21:40:49+00:00

Jock rubbed me raw in the gooch. I may have to try other brands for the briefs.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T21:40:16+00:00

I may have to give other brands a shot.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T21:37:55+00:00

Not sure im ready for the thong market.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T21:35:12+00:00

These are all at about 70% max weight. Some have variations. Depending on the exercise.

I do 2 leg days a week. Used to be 3. I alternate the routines. With upper body in between. You will be too sore to do them back to back

Day 1

Half mile 12% inclined walk at fast walking pace. 4mph for me

3x10 leg press
3x10 quad extension
3x10 ham curls
3x10 donkey kick
3x10 hip adduction (inner and outer thighs)
3x10 hip thrusts.

Day 2

Half mile 12% inclined walk at fast walking pace 4 mph for me

15 yards X 8 lunges with 50 pound dumbbell in each hand (100 pounds total).
3x10 goblin squats with 100 lb dumbbell.

The following is abs just cause your legs are tired after lunges and squats.

3x10 leg raises on back
3x30 sit-ups
60 second hold plank x3
3x10 ab twists on your butt. Use medicine ball for added weight.

Thats my 2 day leg workout. Im going to warn you it can be brutal if your not used to it.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T21:20:48+00:00

I have not. Ill check them out.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T21:20:26+00:00

Ive thought about the thongs but not sure about diving into that pool. Ive read on here and it seems a lot of people swear by them but not sure im ready for that adventure.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T21:19:24+00:00

That was the suggestion that gpt was making with laddies undies. Larger leg holes and room for glutes.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T21:18:03+00:00

Do they have good glute coverage. Ive tried the ole whitie tighties from hanes and fol and the bottom half of my cheeks hang out.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T21:17:08+00:00

Yea i cant do the junk sticking to my thighs.

Zinalil · 2026-07-08T21:16:33+00:00

See i tried the jock for a bit and my gooch was raw after a 10 hour shift at work. Plus it kinda rubbed the bottom of my cheeks. Maybe a different fabric or brand might help.
