Introduction

Weight loss journeys are challenging and require a lot of motivation and determination. However, small progress can keep one motivated and encouraged towards their goal. In this article, we will discuss a Reddit user's recent weight loss journey and how he is coping with it.

The Journey

The Reddit user is a male in his 30s, standing 5'11'', and weighed 335 lbs. He put on 80 lbs during COVID while experiencing panic disorder and quitting psychiatric medication cold turkey. He recently joined Bjj to start his fitness journey and keep himself accountable by sharing his progress with the community. In six weeks, the user lost five pounds and although it was small progress, he felt less bloated and relieved.

Community Motivation

The Reddit user found inspiration and motivation from the kind people in the community. The encouragement and support helped him stay on track and remain accountable for his weight loss goals. The user also hopes his posts will inspire and motivate others, just as they have done for him.

Slow Progress

One Redditor expressed concern about the user's slow progress, but others encouraged him to focus on the positive changes and celebrate small victories. A slow and steady approach may work best for some. It is important to remember that everyone's weight loss journey is unique and different, based on their body type, metabolic rate, and medical history.

Conclusion

Starting a weight loss journey can be challenging, but it is important to focus on the progress made rather than what is yet to be achieved. Small victories in weight loss journeys can be inspiring and help motivate individuals to continue. Everyone should start their weight loss journey at their own pace and seek guidance from a healthcare professional. The Reddit user's success story serves as an example of small progress and community motivation.
