How do people with jobs find time to go to the gym?

I have a prescription for going to the gym

A prescription for good health is sadly lacking. Apparently, there is simply more corporate money to be made from people's suffering than from their health.

Don't be afraid to compliment strangers, sometimes they really need to hear something positive, and it can drastically improve their day.

Most of the problems in the world would evaporate if people were simply nice to each other.

During cardio yesterday I put on one of my favourite DJ sets, one of the ones I only allow myself to listen to a few times a year. The dopamine hit was so strong that I practically felt like I was flying, and I went more then 50% over my target for the day xD . Almost like taking MDMA!

Hit 10 months of consistent gym today! Feels really good, lost around 35lbs, gained some significant muscle growth, opened up an entire new wardrobe that is now accessible and looks good on me, my blood pressure is consistently normal, and I've been sticking to a healthy diet. Still hard for me to believe I've kept with something I didn't like for so long, but the results speak for themselves.

Someone I see regularly in there complimented me on the progress I've made, which is always nice to hear. Don't be afraid to compliment strangers, sometimes they really need to hear something positive, and it can drastically improve their day.

Noice, well done mate . Glad to hear you've found something that gives you so much satisfaction .

Still been keeping with it. Past 1 year steady at this point.
Been drinking a lot of alcohol and eating **** the past month, I'm nearly 20lbs heavier than I was in May.
Some of it is muscle for sure, but I'm starting a 9 week diet today.
Baked chicken breast and Greek yogurt will be the bulk of my food for the next two months.

Saw someone I used to work with about a year ago at the gym last week, and he was stunned at my transformation. Dude is pretty cut himself, and he was so stoked for me. Wholesome gym moment.

I'm getting fat, but am too lazy to do anything about it. How do I get motivated?

How do I get motivated?

Eat better, eat less, and go for a walk. Progress from there.

Tp4 has alot of problems with portion control, because he grew up very p00r, so he eats very fast and as much as possible, then goes for seconds, even though he's already stuffed.

Gameify it, find someone to compete against, schedule it into your day.

Making a sticker chart that shows days you skip helps. Starting with small amounts of workout time and gradually increasing helps too

Motivation is good and all but you need to make it a habit. Something that becomes weird to not do.

I can call you a fat arse every day.

Easiest way is to get into a sport that you are actually interested in and want to improve at, and have it be one that requires getting fit. Biking is a pretty good one. Swimming and running also good, but harder to get started if you're not already at a solid fitness baseline. It really lies in what you're interested in so it looks a bit different for every person. Consuming some youtube content about different sports helps to find some motivation and interest.

For me it was all about pushing past my wall of stubbornness and laziness by harnessing both my hatred for myself, and for exercise. There was almost no positivity involved for the first two months or so, all spite and hate powered workouts.
Then once I broke through that initial barrier I started to feel better, look better, and the workouts became easier. Then it became making it a routine I stick to no matter what.
