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

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.
