38 Year Old Male's Journey From 252Lbs in Btfc7 Fat Loss Category

About the Journey

A man in his late 30s, tommyman, decided to enter the BTFC7 Fat Loss category to tone up and shed off the extra pounds. His starting weight was 252lbs or 114kg, and he stands tall at 5'10. Being a new father who works long hours, he felt that he no longer had the energy to keep up with life demands. His journey began with taking photos at different angles of his body and setting up an initial workout routine along with a new diet plan. Let's take a look at how he progressed.

Commitment

Tommyman was determined to follow through with his plan, even if it meant adjusting to new changes in his routine. He kept himself accountable by posting updates on Reddit regularly and reading through comments that boosted his motivation.

Diet and Exercise

Tommyman focused on eating a clean diet that consisted of lean proteins, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. He also cut out excessive sugar and processed foods. He found that following the CICO (Calories In, Calories Out) method helped him stay on track with his weight loss goals. For exercise, Tommyman started by incorporating cardio routines into his lifestyle and easing into strength training to build muscle mass.

Results

Tommyman's hard work and dedication paid off as he steadily lost weight and toned up over the course of the challenge. By the end of BTFC7, he had lost 41lbs or 18.6kg (16% of his body weight) and was feeling much more energetic in everyday life. He even learned to cook new healthy recipes that not only tasted great but also helped him hit his macros. Seeing improvements in not only his physical appearance but also mental health was a great boost to his overall confidence and self-esteem.

Conclusion

Tommyman's journey serves as a reminder that no matter what life demands are, it's never too late to make changes to your health and fitness routine. With commitment, a balanced diet, and a good exercise plan, losing weight and achieving fitness goals is achievable.
