How to avoid flailing when you decide to make health changes [Thread] 
#1 Know you why.
What is the force that is going to drive you to stay disciplined?
Aesthetics? Freedom? Longevity? Some train for their children or family.
Know what the reason is you want to train.

#2 Understand it isn't a linear process
You may lose 10lbs of the 40lbs you need to lose in the first few weeks
Then you come to a dead stop
This is where you must hammer down
Fight for every lost lb of fat or lb of muscle gained
It's a long, slow climb with no real ending.

#3 Master One Thing At A Time
Don't try to overhaul your diet, sleep habits, lift weights 6x/wk, cardio 3x/wk, yoga 3x/wk, all at the same times
Pick one or two
COMMIT
Commit to progressive strength training 3x/wk
Commit to drinking 1 gal water/day
Stack those habits 1 by 1

#4 Hire A Coach
The best coaches have coaches
If the best coach you know has a coach
Why the hell do you think you don't need one yourself?
This investment will give you a jumpstart and give you the accountability you need to make positive changes
You'll waste far less time

#5 Surround yourself with supportive people
If you want to get strong, join a hardcore gym.
Soak in all the knowledge you can.
If you wan't to run marathons, find a club of marathon runners.
Get your spouse, family, friends on board with your journey.
Support is HUGE.

#6 If its worth doing, its worth doing right
It takes a long time to develop the right habits and see progress
Master useful skills like proper movement in the weight-room and learning how to cook real food.
Don't short change yourself on any aspect of the process

#7 Stop looking for shortcuts and hacks
Theres no such thing
Anyone selling these things is scamming you
Avoid anything that says "Shortcut, Hack, Secret, Easy"
Fit-powders and ab-shredders are not a thing
"Abs in 4 weeks" MY ASS
This shit takes time. Hard Work. Dedication

#8 Have specific goals.
I want to gain 50lbs on my deadlift.
Okay cool, How?
SMART example.
Specific: Deadlift
Measurable: in lbs
Agreed upon: Get deadlift strong
Realistic: gain 50lbs on deadlift
Time: 6 months
Know how you are going to feel if you achieve your goal.
