Setting a Goal Weight

Dewayne1000, a 22-year-old male, went from weighing 197lbs to 169lbs in just 9 weeks. His goal weight is 165lbs, and he plans on starting a lifting program once he hits it. Many commenters encouraged him to start lifting now to maximize muscle gain. He plans to start a PPL program soon and is no longer focused solely on weight loss.

The Importance of Cardio

To reach his goal, Dewayne1000 maintained a diet of 1500 calories per day and did 45 minutes of running on the treadmill for 4-6 days a week. The treadmill was set at 3.7 mph with a 3.5 incline. This helped him burn fat while improving cardiovascular health.

Starting a Lifting Program

An important part of any weight loss journey is building muscle to replace the lost fat. Dewayne1000 plans to start lifting weights now that he has lost a significant amount of weight. He has been encouraged to start lifting earlier and take advantage of his body recomposition and newbie gains. He plans to start a PPL program next week to build muscle and tone his body.

Importance of a Balanced Diet

Losing weight is not just about exercising; diet also plays an important role. Dewayne1000 followed a balanced diet and only consumed 1500 calories per day. This helped him lose weight, improve his health, and maintain muscle mass.

Conclusion

Dewayne1000's weight loss journey is an inspiration and a testament to the power of consistent exercise and diet. These two things are essential to losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
