Introduction

Following a proper diet and consistent exercise regime are key to losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Reddit userwontoneggdrop is a great example of how incorporating these changes can yield incredible results.

The User's Progress

In just about six weeks, the user went from weighing 161 to 158.8 pounds. While that doesn't seem like a significant difference, it's important to note that the user significantly trimmed down on their waist size – from 34 inches to 32 inches. By going to the gym six times a week for up to 90 minutes, the user focuses on varying muscle groups daily, including leg presses, chest presses, shoulder presses, and tricep presses. Furthermore, the user has removed fried foods and carbonated beverages from their diet, although they still indulge in pizza every now and then.

Sharing and Learning from Others

While on this journey, the user was asked by other Reddit users about their workout routine. The user responded that they try to organize their workouts into push and pull categories, with a bit of focus on dips, pushups, and pullups, as well as specific exercises such as spider pushups and DB lateral and front raises. Receiving feedback and advice from others allowed the user to realize they needed more structured workouts and helped them move forward.

The Importance of a Consistent Regime

The key element of the user's progress is consistency. Although they work 50+ hours a week in a desk job, the user still finds the time to workout six times a week. Although results may not always be immediately noticeable and change is never instantaneous, it is important to keep in mind that sticking to a routine can make all the difference.

Conclusion

Overall, wontoneggdrop's story is a reminder to never give up on a journey towards improved fitness and health. Although the process may be difficult and it can take time to see improvement, having a consistent workout schedule and making minor changes to one's diet can lead to incredible transformation. With a little effort, anyone can take strides towards living a healthier lifestyle.
