19 Year Old Loses 40 Pounds in 5 Months: a Reddit Weight Loss Journey

At just 19 years old and 5'10", Reddit user dfwintern went from weighing 200 pounds to 160 pounds in the short span of five months. His progress is chronicled in an August Reddit post that now boasts 17 upvotes.

Workout Routine and Cardio Schedule

For cardio, dfwintern spends 40 - 60 minutes on either the treadmill or stationary bike for five days a week, then takes his road bike out for 20 - 30 miles for three to four days a week. In the post, he acknowledges that this is not where he started, but doesn't elaborate on his earlier activity levels.

Dietary Dedication

Although he doesn't go into specifics about his diet, dfwintern indicates he began eating less and tried fasting on occasion. He notes that when he started counting calories, he began to see even more progress.

Feedback and Advice

Reddit users surmised from dfwintern's photos that he might have anterior pelvic tilt (APT) and offered exercises to improve his posture. However, other users criticized such an assessment and claimed APT is a Reddit "circlejerk."

The Takeaway

Regardless of outside feedback, dfwintern should be commended for his significant progress towards a healthier lifestyle. Followers should consider taking his workout and dietary details as a road map--and perhaps consult a doctor or trainer regarding posture advice.
