Introduction

The journey of losing weight and getting into shape is a feat that can be tough and requires patience and dedication. Building a routine, getting advice, and following a change in diet and exercise all play a role in the journey. Here we discuss the journey of Reddit user GolfFan, who went from 235 lbs to 183 lbs and see how his body percentage fat has changed.

Body Fat Estimate

Based on the advice and comments left by users on his Reddit post, GolfFan's body fat percentage is estimated at 28-30%, based on his weight and height of 6'2. However, it is important to note that this estimate may be subject to error as there are other factors to consider like the fat and muscle mass ratio.

Importance of Lifting

One of the most important aspects that needs to be added to any weight loss journey is lifting weights. While involving cardio in your daily routine can go a long way, adding weights stimulates muscle growth and increases metabolism, making it easier for your body to burn calories. As suggested by a user on his Reddit post, GolfFan needs to add weightlifting to his routine to build muscle and lose fat simultaneously.

Workout When You Cannot Afford Gym Membership

Working out on a budget can be tough. However, as suggested by users on the Reddit post, there are several options available, including P90X and Insanity that involve weight lifting, achieve fat loss and building muscle in a stipulated time frame. Alternatively, looking for cheaper gyms or finding ways to incorporate bodyweight exercises like pushups and pull-ups can go a long way in achieving your goals.

Conclusion

GolfFan's journey of dedication and hard work is an inspiration. While his body fat percentage may have been a cause for concern, his progress is worth celebrating. His determination to stick to his routine and record his progress on MyFitnessPal highlights the importance of tracking your progress. For anyone who is inspired by GolfFan's journey, it is important to remember that everyone's journey is unique and that trying out different routines, seeking advice, and most importantly, believing in oneself is the key to achieving success.
