Introduction

The recent pandemic has restricted opportunities for many people to stay physically active. But with dedication and access to basic health and fitness apps, one reddit user was able to gain 25lbs in just 22 months. In this article, we explore the journey of deweygdcrowe, which shows how a combination of a balanced diet, exercise and motivation can result in incredible transformations.

The Journey To 165lbs

For deweygdcrowe, the journey started with basic apps that helped with calorie counting and macro calculations. The user created a target for 2700 calories per day - approximately 200g protein, 250g carbs, and 90g fat - and aimed to hit their targets as closely as possible. They also practiced an alternating A and B workout day where they would train legs, shoulders, calves, and biceps on one day, to train other parts of their body on another.

Ups and Downs Along the Way

Like any fitness journey, there were periods of progress and difficulty. At one point, deweygdcrowe hit a phase where they were consuming a lot of calories than necessary and therefore gained extra weight. After taking a break for a few months, they eventually found their path back to what worked for them and worked their way down to 165lbs again. As the saying goes, it's not about perfection but about progress.

Sharing the Secrets to Success

Deweygdcrowe shared their secrets to success with the reddit community, including the fitness apps they used, the diet plans they followed, and the importance of taking things slow. Weight gain and loss is a process that takes time, so it's important to maintain patience and not rush things. It's also essential to know when to take a break or seek help when necessary.

Conclusion

The fitness journey of deweygdcrowe is an inspiring one, demonstrating the power of motivation, determination, and basic apps when it comes to reaching fitness goals. This transformation is set to inspire others to start their own fitness journey, using the tips and advice given by deweygdcrowe, making sure to take things at their own pace and to seek help when needed. It's a reminder that with the right mindset and tools, anyone can achieve their fitness goals and become the best version of themselves.
