Introduction

Working out with a partner can be a great motivation to stay fit, as evidenced by the incredible weight loss journey of Reddit user iams3b and his fiancé. The couple started their fitness journey with a 5k fun run and slowly progressed to home crossfit and Spartan races. Read on to know more about their incredible transformation.

The Journey

The couple slowly but steadily started shedding their extra pounds, with iams3b losing 30lbs and his fiancé losing a whopping 45lbs, over a period of three years. While iams3b had been trying to get into shape for a long time, he had trouble sticking to a plan. Working out with his fiancé kept him accountable and motivated to continue with his fitness regime.

The Diet

Diet also played a crucial role in their weight loss journey. They aimed for 1700 calories per day, with a leeway of up to 2000 on cardio days, while his fiancé aimed for 1200 calories per day. They did allow themselves cheat days on Saturdays but tried to make healthier choices to prevent damaging their week's progress.

The Workout

The couple started with a 5k fun run, followed by home crossfit workouts. Over time, they became HIIT 'masochists', pushing each other to their limits. They then entered Spartan races for fun, which provided an added challenge and motivation to their workouts.

Conclusion

The incredible transformation of iams3b and his fiancé's bodies is a testament to what can be achieved with dedication, hard work, and a supportive partner. Their weight loss journey is a reminder that even small steps towards fitness can lead to remarkable transformations. So, start your fitness journey with a partner and inspire each other to achieve your goals.
