Introduction: Struggling with Obesity

At age 30, NotoriousCOLE posted on Reddit to participate in the Body Transformation Fitness Challenge with the goal of losing fat. He was struggling with obesity, weighing at 280lbs with a height of 6'2’’.

The Perils of Posting Introductions

After submitting the introduction, NotoriousCOLE faced challenges with the photo uploads needed for verification, but overcame the hurdle and was accepted for the challenge.

The Routine that Worked

NotoriousCOLE’s weight loss journey began with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and strength training with dumbbells, fixed and resistance machines. He tracked his intake using MyFitnessPal and consumed protein-rich foods. Within two months, he had shed 18lbs and 3.5% of his body fat.

The Plateau and the Respite

After three months, NotoriousCOLE hit a plateau on his weight-loss regime, leading to a decrease in motivation. He started eating more junk food, but soon after resumed his physical activities with added disciplines like swimming, hiking, and mountain climbing. This led him to a break of 10lbs difference on his weight scale.

The Journey Continues

Today, NotoriousCOLE continues with his physical activities, strength training, and healthy diet, reporting weight loss of 55lbs at an unknown present date. His journey of weight loss on Reddit encouraged others to try different approaches and possibly seek professional help for their struggles with obesity.
