Starting point: The Biggest Loser
The Reddit user initially tried to kick-start his weight loss journey by participating in The Biggest Loser in Germany. Unfortunately, he failed in the first episode.

He started by incorporating up to 4 hours of home training into his daily routine and making significant changes to his diet.
Exercise and Training
The user's weight loss journey was largely driven by his commitment to exercise. He started with basic exercises such as walking, cycling, and using a cross trainer. He gradually increased the intensity, frequency, and duration of his workouts as he built up stamina. Over time, he started incorporating weight training and resistance training into his routine to build muscle and increase metabolic rate.
Diet and Nutrition
The user also made significant changes to his diet, which played a critical role in his weight loss journey. He started by reducing his calorie intake and focusing on eating whole, unprocessed foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and lean protein sources. He also tracked his food intake using a food journal app and made sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Motivation and Accountability
Throughout his journey, the Reddit user kept himself motivated by taking weekly pictures and putting them side-by-side to track his progress. This not only helped him see how far he's come, but also held him accountable for his journey. By sharing his journey on Reddit, he's also inspired others to take control of their weight and health.
