Starting from Scratch

One Reddit user recently shared an inspiring weight journey, documenting his progress from 147 lbs to 161 lbs over fourteen weeks. Starting with little experience, and a BMI well below the healthy range, he began actively working to gain weight and muscle. For someone looking to do the same, his account provides a valuable resource.

Creating a Plan

The user began by calculating his daily caloric needs and then accounting for a surplus to gain weight. Using online sources, he determined his recommended macronutrient ranges and divided his daily calorie goals among healthy, nutritious foods like proteins, vegetables, and whole grains. Additionally, he began a workout plan aimed at muscle-building.

Sticking to the Plan

Over the next fourteen weeks, the user consistently followed his plan, tracking calories and macros, and increasing intensity and frequency of his workouts over time. He also found it helpful to weigh himself and track his progress weekly, staying accountable and motivated.

Seeing Results

After fourteen weeks, the user had increased his weight by 14 lbs and gained noticeable muscle mass. Reflecting on his journey, he notes that the road wasn't always easy, but stresses the importance of consistency and making gradual, sustainable changes. His account may inspire others who are looking to gain weight or make other positive lifestyle changes.

Important Takeaways

Successful weight gain requires a combination of a healthy diet that includes adequate protein and healthy fats, muscle-building exercises, and consistency over time. It's also important to listen to your body and recognize when to adjust your plan. Overall, as the Reddit user's journey shows, with dedication and persistence, long-term weight and fitness goals can be achieved - one step at a time.
