Starting out at 250 lbs

When Compongi was at his heaviest weight, he ate until he was stuffed during every meal and snacked frequently. But when he decided to lose weight, he began eating until he was still slightly hungry, drank more water, and cut out snacks. Eventually, his stomach adapted and shrank, causing him to be hungry much less often.

The exercise routine

Compongi credits his exercise routine to Hasfit workouts on YouTube. Hasfit workouts, which can be completed at home, include both strength and cardio exercises to help participants build muscle and burn fat. Hasfit also provides diet plans and other resources to help people reach their fitness goals.

Finding support on Reddit

Compongi received support and encouragement from other Reddit users when he shared his progress. Users asked him for more details about his weight loss journey, and he was happy to share the tips and tricks he learned along the way. For example, Compongi emphasizes the importance of drinking water to help manage hunger.

A steady journey

Compongi's weight loss journey wasn't a quick fix. It took him 4 years to lose 60 pounds, and he made changes gradually. He didn't completely overhaul his diet or exercise routine overnight. Instead, he made small changes that he could stick to over time. This allowed him to reach his goal weight and maintain it.

The takeaway

Compongi's weight loss story is a reminder that losing weight is a journey, not a destination. It takes time, effort, and patience to make lasting change. But small changes can add up over time to create big results. Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or just improve your overall health, start with small, sustainable changes that you can maintain. And don't be afraid to ask for support from friends, family, or online communities like Reddit.
