Introduction

This Reddit post documents the weight loss journey of a 27-year-old male user who started his journey at a weight of 305lbs and lost 105lbs in just 10 months. Read on to discover how he achieved his goal and how it impacted his workout routine.

Weight Loss Process

The user started with a caloric intake of 3500-4000 calories, gradually reducing carbs and fat while keeping protein high, and currently consumes around 2500 calories. The biggest change he made was to maintain a consistent caloric deficit and continue to exercise. He followed a high protein and a medium to a low carb/fat diet which helped him lose fat relatively quickly. The user's progress remained consistent throughout his journey, losing approximately 10-12lbs per month in the beginning and around 7-8lbs per month lately. When he encountered a plateau, it only lasted a few days.

Impact on Lifts

The user admits that he was weaker on the big compound lifts after his weight loss. However, he did not let that deter him from his goals. He remained motivated and worked harder to build strength despite the change.

Motivation

Achieving such an incredible feat was no easy task. When asked how he managed to stay motivated, the user credited his success to his desire to transform his lifestyle and his image. He no longer wanted to be a 'big boi powerlifter.' He also found motivation from the compliments he received for his progress, especially when people noticed the definition in his legs.

Conclusion

The user's weight loss journey is an excellent example of how consistent caloric deficits, a clean diet along with hard work in the gym, can lead to tremendous progress. The important thing is to find what works for you and stick with it. Weight loss is not a one-size-fits-all process, and it's essential to take into account individual differences in metabolism and physical activity level. Finally, congratulate the user on his success and use this story as motivation and inspiration to create your journey.
