Introduction

One Reddit user, a 29-year-old male who stands at 6'5'', successfully lost 60lbs in the span of 10 months. He started taking his weight loss journey seriously 10 months ago, and since then he has made significant progress in achieving his fitness goals.

The Start of the Journey

The user posted a picture from 2018 as a starting point for his weight loss journey. He shares that he began by counting calories, limiting his daily calorie intake and adhering to a strict diet. However, he quickly realised that while he was losing weight, he was also losing muscle, which was not his desired outcome.

Adapting the Approach

The user then adjusted his approach and added weight lifting into his routine to maintain muscle mass while still losing weight. He also found success in intermittent fasting, which helped him stay within his calorie limit and improve his insulin resistance.

Struggles Along the Way

Despite his success, the user acknowledges that his weight loss journey was not always easy. He struggled with maintaining motivation and consistency, especially during the pandemic when his gym closed. However, he found ways to adapt and continue his fitness journey, such as by purchasing home gym equipment and finding alternative forms of physical activity.

Tips for Success

The user's biggest advice for those starting their own weight loss journey is to find a plan that works for them and to stick with it consistently. He recommends having patience and understanding that weight loss takes time. He also suggests finding a community, like the r/loseit subreddit, for support and motivation.
