Introduction
Reddit user GentlePurpleGiant underwent a significant transformation, losing 55lbs in just nine months through a combination of working out and regulating their food intake. The users’ tall stature of 6’8” meant that their goal weight, 245lbs, still kept them within a healthy range. However, this feat was not easy but through determination they accomplished their goal.
The Transformation
The Reddit user worked out regularly and cut out unnecessary food items. The enormous weight loss brought a lot of positive changes, including the emergence of stronger muscles, giving them a Viking-like appearance. Additionally, the users’ chest hair and hairstyle added to the overall appearance. However, the transformation was not just physical, as the user was complimented on their looks multiple times by fellow Redditors.
Find Your Inspiration
When asked about their inspiration for the dramatic transformation, GentlePurpleGiant mentioned actor Chris Pratt's transformation as an inspiration. However, every individual has their own set of inspirations, be it photographs or stories, which they can use to motivate themselves. The most important thing is to start with determination and a positive attitude.
Get Going and Stick With It
Getting started is often the hardest part of any fitness journey, but persistence is the key to success. One Reddit user asked GentlePurpleGiant how they managed to keep going, to which they replied with a simple statement: “It’s got to the point where it’s just a habit now.” Starting with small changes and gradually increasing the intensity of workouts and regulating food intake is the safest way to go.
Conclusion
Whether your goal is to shed some pounds or gain some muscle, it can be done with persistence, hard work and healthy habits. GentlePurpleGiant's journey serves as motivation for all those struggling with weight loss. Their progress accentuates the fact that lightning-quick results may not always be possible, but a positive attitude and consistent effort make all the difference.
