Discover how one reddit user lost over 85lbs with F45 gym, calorie counting, and daily workouts as well as the power of positive self-accountability
Article by Madeleine Smith
Introduction
Reddit user birthdaysteak has made tremendous weight loss progress by losing over 85lbs in only 9 months. Driven by a passion for self-improvement and personal accountability, birthdaysteak shared their journey with the online community.
Methodology
Birthdaysteak chose F45, a relatively new fitness regime, to help to steer their weight loss journey. They began to track their calorie intake and purchased a Polar H10 fitness tracker to monitor calorie burning. They discovered their burn to be around 700 calories per F45 session. The user did not restrict their diet but rather set a calorie intake limit of 2230 per day, close to their BMR caloric intake. Using these measurements as guidance, it became easier for birthdaysteak to calculate their progress.
Self-Accountability And The Goggins' Effect
Motivated by David Goggins' book, Can't Hurt Me, birthdaysteak embraced complete personal accountability, staying true to the principle of calories in versus calories out, and maintaining a positive attitude towards their journey.
Results
After nine months, birthdaysteak remarkably lost 85lbs, reducing their BMI from 35 to 28, decreasing their body fat percentage from 38% to 10.4%, and gaining 4lbs of muscle mass. The after-photo shows a transformed individual, with the added bonus of looking much younger.
Conclusion: Pursue Self- Improvement and Accountability
Birthdaysteak's journey serves as a testament to the power of personal accountability and self-improvement. Anyone can work towards their weight loss goals by following birthdaysteak's lead and utilizing what works for them. Combine personal accountability, a solid workout regiment, and calorie counting to achieve a healthier, happier, and more focused lifestyle.
