Setting the Stage

Our subject is a male in his early twenties, standing at 5'10" and starting at 130lbs. Over the course of two months, he sees a sizable increase of 25lbs in weight.

The Progress

According to photographs submitted by the user, the most notable differences are in the color of his shorts and the way his stomach looks bloated on the left side. Others found it challenging to make out any significant differences in his body, and even suggested that he could have avoided some of the weight gain by eating fewer calories.

The Skeptics

One commenter pointed out that two months is not enough time to make significant progress in building muscle, even with performance-enhancing drugs. The user clarified that he was aware of this and intended to show more prolonged results after a year of consistent work. Another commenter suggested that the user focus on improving his lift numbers and gym routine, as this is where significant progress can happen for beginners.

Takeaway

While our Reddit user has received his fair share of skeptics, he ultimately succeeded in adding 25lbs to his frame. While some may argue that this increase may have included some unnecessary fat, this still represents a significant achievement. It's critical to remember that everyone's weight gain journey is different, and success should be measured relative to their starting point, not someone else's.

Final Thoughts

The user's courage in sharing his journey, along with the feedback from others, provides a great example of the power of online communities. For those who are struggling with their weight journey, it's essential to keep their end goal in mind and not let the skeptics dissuade them. Take inspiration from others, but understand that their journey might not be yours. Keep going, stay motivated, and see what progress you can achieve along the way.
