Man's Remarkable 300Lbs Weight Loss Journey over 4 Years

Introduction

A man on Reddit who goes by the name surfingelectrode shared his incredible 300lbs weight loss journey over 4 years. He began weighing 506lbs and today weighs 206lbs. His inspiring journey has garnered attention from other Reddit users, who offered both support and words of congratulations.

The Journey

Surfingelectrode shared that he did keto at the start of his transformation for a couple of months before switching to tracking calories and eventually tracking macros. He lifted weights during the last four years while eating at a calorie deficit.

Loose Skin

Despite his remarkable success, one of the things that surprised many in the thread is how little loose skin surfingelectrode has after losing 300lbs. Some commented that his loose skin was what they expected to see after losing only 100lbs. Surfingelectrode believes that he will have to maintain his weight with the surplus skin, and he has thought a lot about getting surgery. However, it is too expensive, so he is not sure that he can get it.

Future Goals

Surfingelectrode's next goal is to reach 199lbs to be under 200lbs, though he is not sure of his exact body fat percentage. He plans to keep himself lean and try to put on more muscle later on. In reply to one of the comments, he stated that he did not see much gain from eating at a calorie deficit.

Conclusion

Surfingelectrode's transformation shows that discipline and steadfastness do pay off. He remained motivated even when facing tough times during his weight loss journey, which took time and perseverance. He also credits weightlifting and determining his food intake while having fun as an essential and enjoyable way he had found to lose weight.
