Introduction

One Reddit user, nix0s, recently posted about crossing the threshold from 180 pounds to 179 pounds, marking a significant weight loss milestone. Their original post garnered 189 upvotes and several supportive comments, with people congratulating them on their achievement and offering tips and encouragement.

Diet

According to nix0s, their initial weight loss came from cutting out regular soda and french fries. They later got more serious about their weight loss and started tracking their food intake to ensure they were in a calorie deficit. While their diet has varied over time, they have always made sure to take in fewer calories than they burn through exercise and daily activity.

Exercise

Nix0s initially focused on cardio-heavy workouts, but eventually incorporated strength training to break through a plateau. They currently work out 5-6 times per week, mostly doing weight lifting that targets different muscle groups, with one dedicated cardio day per week. They also incorporate high-intensity exercises within their weight lifting routine to keep their heart rate up.

Motivation

Nix0s stated that seeing progress and feeling fantastic have been their biggest motivators throughout their weight loss journey. The supportive Reddit community has also been a source of encouragement, with commenters praising their dedication and offering additional tips and advice.

Conclusion

Nix0s' weight loss success story shows that with dedication and hard work, it's possible to achieve significant weight loss goals. While their specific diet and exercise routine may not work for everyone, the underlying principles of calorie deficit and regular exercise can be applied to many weight loss plans. If you're looking to lose weight, consider tracking your food intake and incorporating regular exercise into your routine.
