Overcoming Obesity: a Weight Loss Journey From 465Lbs to 262Lbs in 3 Years

Introduction

Losing significant amounts of weight is a daunting task that often needs professional help, but it's also achievable with the right mindset, determination, and discipline. Reddit user Reverend357's weight loss journey is an inspiring tale of going from 465lbs to 262lbs in three years.

Stuck at Home

Reverend357 admitted to being in a bit of a rut with being stuck at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, he managed to lose most of his COVID weight, bringing him down from 127kg to 119kg. He started somewhat regularly working out again and is still motivated to continue losing weight.

A New Mustache and Accomplishments

Reverend357 also posts a picture of himself showing off his new mask-friendly mustache, which he grew after losing the COVID weight. However, he doesn't let his facial hair take the spotlight as he shared his progress in weight loss. He has lost a staggering 202lbs or 92kg, looking like a completely different person.

Energy and Mood Changes

Reverend 357 shared his improvement in energy levels as he started going out again and walking through cities. Unfortunately, mood-wise, he's still suffering from depression and chronic pain. Despite these challenges, he continues to keep his head up and never let his conditions define his life.

The End Goal

Reverend357's End Goal is to get below 110kg or 240lbs, meaning he wants to lose another 4-5kg and get the extra skin removed. He wants to get to 100-105kg in total and get his body fat down to the mid-20s, and be able to bench his body weight. Achieving such an end goal is possible with the right mindset and discipline.
