Body transformation journeys come in all shapes and sizes, and the journey of Reddit user artysharky is no exception. Despite only losing 3lbs over 10 months, artysharky's focus on gaining muscle has resulted in a dramatic transformation.

Overcoming Obstacles

Along their journey, artysharky faced a chronic shoulder injury that prevented them from working on their upper body. Instead of seeing this as a hindrance to their progress, they adjusted their focus to other areas of their body, such as their lower body and core. This flexibility and adaptability allowed artysharky to continue making progress, even with the obstacle of a chronic injury.

Consistency is Key

Artsharky's journey is a testament to the power of consistency. Despite not seeing drastic changes in weight, they stuck to a 1400-1500 calorie diet and engaged in some kind of physical activity for at least an hour every day, such as yoga, walking, or HIIT workouts. This consistency allowed artysharky to slowly, but surely, progress towards their goals.

Setting New Goals

After reaching their initial weight loss goal, artysharky has now set their sights on shredding down and building muscle. Their new goal is to lose 10 more pounds of body fat and shift to maintenance calories to focus on gaining muscle. This shift in focus will allow artysharky to continue making progress on their fitness journey.

Conclusion

Artysharky's journey is a reminder that body transformations are not just about the number on the scale, but about the dedication and consistency in lifestyle changes.
