Background

The 19-year-old Reddit user, who is 6 feet tall, had weighed 385 lbs. Two years later, he weighs 305 lbs, after losing an impressive 80 pounds. Though he feels he could have made better progress, he is happy with his present health improvements. Face gains are visible, too.

Diet Changes

The user made significant changes in his diet over the past two years. He started tracking his calorie intake and cutting down on sugar and fast food, focusing instead on lean proteins, vegetables, and whole grains. He also incorporated more fruits and vegetables into his meals and started cooking at home instead of eating out.

Exercise Routine

The user incorporated exercise into his routine gradually, first starting with walking, then adding strength training and cardio. He worked out for at least 30 minutes a day and increased the duration as he built strength and endurance. Consistency was key, and he worked out even when he did not feel like doing so.

Challenges Faced

The user faced several challenges on his weight loss journey, including cravings, lack of motivation, and injury. However, he learned to deal with them by seeking support from friends, using self-motivation techniques, and resting an injury without losing focus on his goals.

Lessons Learned

The user's weight loss journey taught him patience and persistence. He also realized the importance of making small, sustainable changes rather than drastic ones that are hard to maintain. He advises those who are starting their journey to be mindful of their eating habits, incorporating physical activity whenever possible, and seeking support from loved ones to increase their chances of success.
