M/31/5'10 [80 Lbs Lost] User's Inspiring Weight Loss Journey in Just 5 Months

The Journey Begins

The Reddit user, sohmc, had been overweight for most of his life and was obese at the time he got a back injury. This injury made him stop all physical activity and he gained 40 pounds because he continued to eat what he normally ate.

The Turning Point

The turning point for him came when he was walking up his very small stair case and was so out of breath that he had to sit down. The most frustrating thing was that his doctor never made it a point to encourage him to lose weight even though he was very obese.

The Transformation

He started taking his weight loss seriously and lost 80 lbs in just 5 months using a calorie reducing meal replacement program named 'Take Shape For Life.' His BP went down to 115 over 80 and his LDL reduced by almost 30%. He looks younger, healthier and a lot happier now.

The Positive Impact

The post that gained 389 upvotes and several comments provided sohmc with the unexpected encouragement he needed. This positive feedback, which made him feel like he had a community of like-minded people who would support him, also encouraged him to keep the weight off for another month.

The Inspiration

Sohmc’s weight loss journey is an inspiration to others who want to lose weight and lead a healthy life. If you’re struggling with your weight and want to lose it, you can take inspiration from his journey and try different things to see what works best for you.
