Hi comrades, welcome to the Improvement Megathread! unity

I plan to post a new weekly megathread here every Sunday. I think Sunday is a good day to review the previous week and make some plans for the following week. If somebody else wants to post a new megathread anytime, just let me know.

Here are some ideas for discussion:

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week?

Even if you did only 1 push-up, read 1 page, meditated for 1 minute, or touched 1 blade of grass, let us know about it. When it comes to making progress, everything counts. The most important thing is to make progress, no matter how small.

  • What would you like to do next week?
  • What aspect of life would you like to improve?
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Of course, this is not a definitive list. And feel free to make a separate post in the comm for any of these topics. This is just a megathread for all the stuff that you want to share but don't feel like making a new post.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

    I want to lose weight so this week I installed the Waistline app from f-droid for weight tracking & calorie counting and setup an indoor trainer with my bike so I can ride in the mornings. Good luck to everyone working on their goals!

      I would also like to lose some weight this week.

      My favourite calorie tracking website/app is Cronometer. I'm using the free option, which has all the features you'd want. You can track your weight and see all the macro and micro nutrients. I also recommend r/Volumeeating, which is a subreddit for high-volume, low-calorie meals.

      Good luck with your goals comrade unity

      I've been working on weightloss the past week. Been using Noom, but only as a calorie counter and weight tracking. I find the simple routine of weighing myself daily and tracking calories is mostly enough to eliminate poor eating habits. And reducing environmental triggers (like I can't have a bag of chips sitting on the counter and be looking at it all day-- it has to go out of sight)
