Introduction

Weight loss and body transformation journeys are becoming increasingly popular on social media platforms. Our Reddit user is no exception. He has documented his incredible progress in achieving a healthy weight gain of 23 lbs within two years. Although it may seem like a short time frame for such a remarkable transformation, his storytelling suggests that the path from 125lbs to 148lbs was not an easy one.

Eating More

The first step in the process of gaining weight is to increase the amount of food intake. But it's not just about eating more. The user noted that he focused on consuming a balanced diet of clean and healthy foods, rich in protein and carbohydrates. He also experimented with meal prepping and tracking calorie intake to ensure a consistent uptake of nutrients. By taking up this healthy eating habit, he gained 10 lbs within the first year of his journey.

Working out More

Eating more alone is not enough to build muscle mass. Incorporating weightlifting and resistance training into his exercise regimen proved to be a game changer. The user engaged in regular workouts, targeting various muscle groups for maximum impact. He documented his progress and shared his workout routine, which boosted his motivation and held him accountable. By the end of year two, he had gained an additional 13 lbs through regular workouts.

Overall Health

Most people tend to focus solely on their diet and exercise when trying to lose or gain weight. Our Reddit user, however, attributed his weight gain success to other lifestyle changes. He scratched a habit of having long and hot showers, adopted shorter and lukewarm showers, and added lotion to his skincare routines. His stretch marks faded, which boosted his overall confidence, making him more comfortable in his skin.

Conclusion

Our Reddit user's journey from 125 lbs to 148 lbs in two years is a testament to the power of incremental lifestyle modifications. Eating more, working out more consistently, practicing healthy skincare routines, and monitoring progress can produce significant results. From this story, we can derive that a weight gain journey requires determination, persistence, and consistency; and it's more than just about losing weight or gaining it. So, don't hesitate to make the necessary lifestyle changes for your health and wellness.
