Introduction

Tylawreddit, a 20-year-old, has shared his inspiring journey of losing 40 pounds in just over 11 months. He started slowly with walking and fasting, gradually added in strength training, and has seen major transformations since.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Tylawreddit began his weight loss journey by walking for an hour each day and following intermittent fasting. He slowly reduced his calorie intake by cutting out sugary drinks and junk food. By taking it slow and steady, he was able to make changes that were sustainable for him in the long run.

Adding in Strength Training

As Tylawreddit became more comfortable with his walking routine and fasting schedule, he decided to add in strength training to his routine. He began to track his macros and make sure he was getting enough protein to build muscle. This helped him to see more progress and transform his body composition.

Not Where He Wants to Be Yet

While Tylawreddit has seen major progress, he acknowledges that he's not quite where he wants to be yet. However, he's proud of how far he's come and is confident that he can reach his goals with continued dedication and consistency.

Try it Out for Yourself

Tylawreddit's weight loss journey is proof that slow and steady progress is possible with dedication and consistency. Walking, fasting, and strength training may be effective strategies for some, but every individual is different. If you're looking to make changes to your own health and fitness, start small and find strategies that work for you.
