My Journey to Last Few Pounds as 32/M/5'10"/165Lbs

Introduction

At 32 years old, 5'10", and 165lbs, I found myself struggling to lose the last few pounds. I turned to Reddit for support and motivation. Along the way, I received helpful feedback and encouragement from other posters.

Diet Changes

I started by evaluating my diet and identified areas where I could make improvements. I cut back on sugary drinks and processed foods and instead focused on eating lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. I also started tracking my calorie intake using an app and aimed for a daily deficit of 500 calories.

Exercise Routine

In addition to changing my diet, I also started exercising regularly. I incorporated a mix of cardio and strength training into my routine and increased my activity level throughout the day by taking the stairs instead of the elevator and going for walks during lunch breaks. The extra movement made a big difference in my weight loss progress.

Plateaus and Setbacks

While I saw progress in the beginning, I hit a few plateaus along the way. To overcome these, I tried changing up my exercise routine, adjusting my calorie intake, and focusing on getting enough sleep. Despite setbacks, I kept pushing forward, knowing that small victories were still progress.

Conclusion

After several months of dedication and hard work, I finally reached my goal weight. My journey was not without its challenges, but I learned a lot and made lasting changes that have improved my overall health and wellbeing. I encourage anyone struggling with weight loss to try different methods and seek support from others. Remember, progress takes time and commitment, but it's worth it in the end.
