Progress Update: Losing 19 Pounds in 2 Months

Introduction

BabiesHavingRabies, a 27-year-old male posted on Reddit, sharing his two-month weight loss journey. He started at 214 pounds and was able to reduce his weight to 195 pounds with consistent exercise and healthy eating. As his belly button went up by inches, he reported being more motivated to keep going.

Diet Plan

Initially, he exercised for 7 days a week, which included running one mile and working on the chest, triceps, and biceps. He kept his calories under 1500 per day while eating chicken, tuna, salads, and snacking on pistachios. Now, he goes for 3-4 days a week with 2.5 miles of running and 10 minutes on the stair master, keeping his daily calories under 1800. He still maintains the same routine for weight lifting but with heavier weights and changing the weights and reps to build muscle definition.

Changing Perception

BabiesHavingRabies attempted to convince himself he looked fine when he weighed 214 pounds, even though he had a belly. He now finds his remaining tummy pudge disgusting, showing a change in his perception of himself. This change motivates him to keep pushing further. He also enjoys the definition in his arms, shoulder, and back.

Supportive Online Community

Other users expressed their congratulations and admiration for his success. One user mentioned their similar weight loss experience and noticing the change in their waist size. Another user appreciated his continued efforts and progress motivates others.

Takeaway

BabiesHavingRabies's weight loss can serve as motivation for others to keep consistent with their exercise routine and a healthy diet. His testimony is an example that shows results take time and effort, but they are worthwhile. Anyone can get started on a similar journey, regardless of where they are in their fitness journey. Consistency is key.
