Introduction

A Reddit user, Socks_Before_Pants, recently shared his 91lb weight loss journey over 9 months through a series of before and after photos. The transformation shows how much can be accomplished with dedication and persistence.

The Beginning

Socks_Before_Pants admitted to being depressed and binge-drinking before his weight loss journey. He struggled with walking up a hill of 250ft, giving up after 15 minutes. That was his turning point.

The Journey to Success

Socks_Before_Pants made changes to his diet, using Nutra Check for calorie counting and eating clean from Monday to Saturday. He allowed himself a small treat on Sundays. He avoided alcohol except on special occasions. He made a slow progression with exercise, starting with walks of under a mile, 1-2 times a week. He now walks 7.5 miles home from work every day.

Nutrition Plan

Socks_Before_Pants has been consuming just under 1500 calories a day in his current diet. His breakfast is rice cakes with a light soft cheese and Marmite spread, with yogurt on the side. For lunch, he has a Huel shake and an apple as a snack. His favorite dinner consists of turkey mince with mixed peppers, onions, and a big splash of Tabasco, with white rice, boiled carrot, and broccoli. He also drinks at least 3 liters of water daily.

Conclusion

Socks_Before_Pants' determination and dedication are inspiring. His weight loss journey shows the power of slow, steady progress and self-discipline. Socks_Before_Pants recommends finding a good podcast or audio book, investing in a decent pair of headphones, and just starting with one small thing at a time. If he can do it, anybody can.
