A before and after photo of a 5'9" male showing a weight reduction from 170 pounds to 167 pounds. A respectable loss of 3 pounds.
M/27/5'9" [170 > 167 = 3lbs] (10 months) I’m not as consistent as I could be, and I still have a lot of work to do. But it’s still good to see progress. Onwards and upwards.

Introduction

ButtDingo, a 27-year-old male, was able to lose 3 pounds in 10 months with inconsistent efforts. His Reddit post gained 95 upvotes and two comments. One user requested ButtDingo's participation in a recompilation story, which the poster believes was unintentional. We examine ButtDingo's story here.

The Story

ButtDingo started at 170 pounds and, in 10 months, using the power of intermittent consistency, reached 167 pounds. Rather than trying to lose weight, ButtDingo aimed to maintain calorie intake within a certain range. Some days, he would eat more, while on others, less. He admits that he could have been more determined during his weight journey.

Community Involvement

ButtDingo's post earned valuable feedback from two users. One user welcomed other people to use ButtDingo's story as an example of recompilation weight loss. Another jocularly greeted him as Pete Buttigeig, subtly hinting at his weight loss progress. However, ButtDingo did not reply to the latter comment, indicating that he did not want his weight journey defined by his appearance.

Analysis

ButtDingo provided an unintentional example of recompilation, where he lost fat and gained muscle simultaneously. While his progress was modest, his approach provides valuable insight into the power of consistently moderating diet without much pressure. ButtDingo could have furthered his results by incorporating strength training, which may have led to more substantial muscular gains.

Conclusion

ButtDingo's modest 3-pound weight loss can serve as an essential guide for many people struggling with maintaining a restricted diet plan. A flexible approach where you can control your calories by eating and relaxing your approach can yield incredible results in doing so. However, it was visible that further progress is possible through strength training and enhancing diet consistency.
