Introduction

A Reddit user, blurface, recently shared his journey from 300lbs to 208lbs over 16 months. Despite his progress, he shared disappointment in how he looked in the mirror. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at his weight loss journey, accomplishments, motivation and overcoming concerns.

The Accomplishments

Blurface's journey included shedding 92lbs, dropping nine inches from his waist, and being able to fit in most large-sized t-shirts. He also took up weightlifting, where he could squat 245, deadlift 260, and bench 140. His incredible progress made him press hard to meet a goal of hitting 185lbs by July.

The Plateau and Disappointments

Although Blurface had made significant progress, he expressed concerns over his plateauing strength gains and the fluctuations in his weight loss. His primary concern was that he would meet his 185lbs goal but still be unhappy with his body. While the shapes of his body were smaller, they were not as described, and it had him feeling disappointed.

Motivation and Overcoming Concerns

Fellow Redditors encouraged Blurface to keep pushing to meet his 185lbs goal and reassess after. They explained that sometimes the last 10-15lbs make the most drastic changes. Incorporating core-specific work could also help. Another user also mentioned that it was all about body fat, so if he continued to cut weight, he would see noticeable changes. Blurface was reminded of all the milestones he had conquered, and that he would progress more, with each pound lost.

Conclusion

Despite any concerns or disappointments, Blurface's progress was impressive after losing 92lbs over 16 months. He had accomplished lots, including taking up weightlifting, and increasing his strength. His weight loss journey shows that although the process can be challenging, focusing on achieving small goals and reassessing after can lead to significant outcomes. Overall, Blurface's journey can inspire readers to try things out for themselves.
