Introduction

One college student, badger2015, shares their weight loss success story on Reddit, receiving over 177 upvotes and 8 positive comments. At only 19 years old and 6'1", badger2015 weighed 330lbs before reducing to 200lbs, an impressive 130lbs of weight loss. In this article, we will delve into his journey and see what they did to achieve their goals.

How Did they Do It?

With limited means as a college student, badger2015 had to rely on simple methods to reduce calorie intake. On average, badger2015 consumed 1600 calories per day. Beyond that, badger2015 did 45 minutes of cardio 4 times a week and lifted weights with additional light cardio on the other three days. According to badger2015, walking around campus to classes also helped increase daily physical activity.

Addressing Excess Skin

In their post, badger2015 also addressed the issue of excess skin that often accompanies significant weight loss. While surgical options would be the most effective path to remove the excess skin, financial limitations makes that approach unfeasible. Instead, badger2015 plans to simply accept and work with the excess skin.

Inspiration to Others

While badger2015's journey is unique to them, it serves as an inspiration and motivation for others to start their own weight loss journey. It's important to remember that weight loss is not immediate and takes consistent effort over time. Following a daily calorie deficit, dietary control, and frequent exercise can help achieve weight loss success. As badger2015 notes, the best decision to lose weight and improve overall health is completely in one's hands.

Conclusion

In summary, badger2015's journey from 330lbs to 200lbs is a remarkable accomplishment. With a calorie-controlled diet and consistent exercise regime, badger2015 was able to achieve this impressive weight loss. We hope this article can inspire others to do the same, and remember that transforming one's body takes time, effort, and most importantly, the willingness to try and do it.
