From weighing 450 pounds to 250 pounds, he has finally achieved his goal of feeling like a 'normal person'.

Two Surgeries and a New Diet
The Reddit user started his journey by changing his diet to include more fruits and vegetables and less junk food. However, his weight loss progress stalled due to a medical condition that required two surgeries. Despite several setbacks, he did not give up and continued following a nutritionist's recommendations to lose more weight.
Exercise and Positive Mindset
The user also began exercising more and found it to be an important factor in his weight loss journey. He started with simple exercises such as walking and gradually built his stamina to run and lift weights. Additionally, he credits his success to developing a positive mindset and focusing on his goals.

Anyone can achieve their weight loss goals by following a healthy diet, dedicating time to exercise, and maintaining a positive mindset. While surgery may have been necessary for this individual, it's important to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight loss. Everyone's journey is unique, and it's up to individual to find what works for them.
