Getting Started

The Reddit user macbookvirgin began his weight loss journey at 280lbs and was able to achieve a 55lbs weight loss in just 8 months. His impressive progress motivated and inspired many on Reddit to leave positive comments under his post. People appreciated the transformation and noticed how happy he looked with his life.

Continuation of the Journey

After the successful 55lbs weight loss, the user still aims to lose 25 more pounds. However, one Reddit user commented that another 25lbs weight loss won't get rid of his belly. The user advised macbookvirgin to do more than just weight loss to reduce the Belly Fat Percentage (BF%).

Lifting Weights and Eating proper food

To counteract this matter, another user suggested that lifting weights will help increase muscle mass, which will passively help lower macbookvirgin's weight. Increased muscle mass increases metabolism because it requires more calories. Eating proper food along with lifting weights will make a massive difference in his life and body. A Reddit user also advised him to start doing pushups, since it helps in reducing belly fat.

Planks and Push Ups for Better Results

Another user recommended doing planks as it will help destroy the belly fat. The same user also recommended macbookvirgin to do pushups, a total of 120 pushups daily, to achieve better results. However, another user suggested to head to r/fitness and learn about weightlifting, which eventually leads to building more muscle mass and less belly fat.

The Bottom Line

The Reddit user has made an excellent progress and encouraging comments on the page motivates him more to continue his fitness journey. It is essential for individuals to find their fitness strategy, whether it's doing pushups, planks or lifting weights. There is no ideal way to achieve their fitness goals but for macbookvirgin, lifting weights, doing pushups and eating proper food shall eventually lead him there.
