Introduction

One reddit user, Mal_JMD, has shared their remarkable weight journey through their posts that have received over 260 upvotes and multiple comments. Mal_JMD, a 23-year-old male, has managed to lose over 100lbs (45kg) in 12 months, simply by making gradual yet consistent lifestyle changes.

The Method

Mal_JMD's journey began with a weekly calorie deficit of 200-300 calories, achieved mostly by walking. Although gyms were closed due to the pandemic, resistance training was added gradually over time. One of the most important things Mal_JMD emphasized was consistency. The calorie deficit was later adjusted as the user's body changed and their maintenance calories decreased.

The Results

The user went from consuming roughly 2800 calories daily to taking in 2300-2500 as the weight began to drop. It is estimated that Mal_JMD had a weekly deficit of 2000-3000 calories, which is impressive. The results speak for themselves - a reduction of over 100lbs, which is almost 1/3 of their starting weight. But more than the physical change, the user seemed to have gained a newfound confidence and appreciation for a healthier lifestyle.

The Takeaway

Mal_JMD's journey is a reminder that making small tweaks to our daily habits can go a long way. It just takes time and patience. By consistently eating at a calorie deficit, adding exercise gradually, and establishing healthier habits, we too can achieve a healthier body composition. And most importantly, we can improve our physical and mental well-being.

Conclusion

Mal_JMD's story is not only inspiring but an excellent example of how small changes can lead to incredible results. It is a testament to the fact that we should never give up on our journey toward better health. Taking inspiration from Mal_JMD's journey can motivate us to make positive changes in our own lives, no matter how small - and that's what matters most.
