I had to look up:

HHGTTG = The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I tried to do a bunch of small things. No single thing was the key.

• started drinking my coffee black
• drink more water, and drink water instead of other things
• I take the stairs instead of elevator/escalator whenever possible
• I try not to eat seconds at dinner
• "Real" exercise (like running, rowing, etc.) every other day, but if I can squeeze in extra ones, (e.g., 2 days in a row), I go for it
• If I'm not up for real exercise, I'll go for a walk
• intermittent fasting in the mornings, so often no breakfast, but not necessarily every day
• No snacking after 19:00
• At restaurants, if 2 options look good, go for the one with fewer calories

There are probably more, but those are the kinds of habits we're talking about.

Also important: if you don't stick to all habits, don't beat yourself up about it.

With the above, I was able to get from a high of 235 lbs down to around 180. I'm a bit more than that right now, but pretty close still.

Been in early access for a little over 8 years, and it has been fun to see it evolve and grow over that time. They just announced that version 1.0 will release next year!

... I did not know that. Good tip!

On that note, you can edit titles in Lemmy, which you can't do on Reddit. So that's a pretty great upgrade.

Lifting: I definitely don't like while I'm doing it.

Riding my bike though: it's great to get out there early in the morning and explore, see nature, etc. with the bike, I also just like the feeling of speed, so the physical act of riding can actually be enjoyable.

To a lesser degree, the same can apply to running. I find that when I've been in better shape, I could experience that runner's high.

I just swiped your comment a short way, so please enjoy your upvote (which I can confirm worked).

I don't know all of his stuff, though Mother! was pretty stressful to watch.

I'm gonna say: Requiem for a Dream

Starbucks coffee, and even more so, their tea. Just doesn't seem like a good use of my money, since I can make it at home for a lot less money.

While not always too significant, many credit cards also offer points or cash back. I do the same as you (use my credit card for practically everything and always pay it off), and can use whatever points I get to make small mortgage prepayments, buy gift cards, etc.

I like to make mistakes
