Introduction

When most of us were grappling with the challenges posed by the pandemic, one Reddit user, RPGryguy, was slowly and steadily transforming from 280lbs to 210lbs. In just 16 months, he lost 70 pounds through walking and dietary changes. An inspiring journey, RPGryguy opened up about his weight loss experience on the Reddit forum and shared his tips for success.

Tips For Success

RPGryguy kept things relatively simple, walking more, and making changes to his daily diet. His goal was to take over 6000 steps each day, at a comfortable pace. He also mentioned that he has been cooking most of his meals now, but earlier, he also tried out the 'Factor' meal delivery service which provides keto meals. This service, however, did not work well for him in the long run.

Journey So Far

RPGryguy reiterated that his transformation has been slow and steady. He took it one day at a time, walking more each day, and making small changes in his daily dietary habits to feel more in control. His biggest motivation was being able to fit into his college clothes again, but now in smaller sizes, after 16 months of hard work. He also mentioned how he carried weight evenly all over his body, so the 70 pounds of weight loss meant that his waist has gone down from a 42" to 36".

Slimming Down During The Pandemic

For most people, the pandemic has been a recipe for weight gain, not weight loss. With work from home and social distancing being the norm, not many have been able to keep up with their fitness routines. But the experience of RPGryguy shows that even small lifestyle changes done persistently can yield results. Walking, running, cycling, or any other physical activity is a great way to stay healthy, regardless of the circumstances.

Final Thoughts

RPGryguy's weight loss journey is not only inspiring, but it also emphasizes the importance of consistency in the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. Making sustainable changes and sticking to them is one of the best things one can do for their overall well-being. So if you want to achieve your weight loss goals, start by making small changes in your daily routine today!
