Introduction

A Reddit user, who goes by the username [deleted], has shared his impressive weight journey after two years. He started at 150 pounds, gained weight up to 190 pounds, and eventually lost weight to his current weight of 175 pounds. The journey included being a wrestler, transitioning to a couch potato, and finally a climber. The post has garnered 39 upvotes and 0 comments.

The Wrestler Phase

At the beginning of his weight journey, the user was a wrestler. This phase entailed a strict diet and rigorous exercise routine that allowed him to maintain his weight at 150 pounds. However, after he stopped wrestling, he gained 40 pounds and became a 'couch potato.'

The Couch Potato Phase

During this phase, the user became inactive and lost his conditioning, leading to weight gain. His sedentary lifestyle was characterized by watching television and eating junk food. This phase was challenging to overcome, and it took a year before he decided to make a change.

The Climbing Phase

In his final phase, the user decided to become a climber after a friend introduced him to it. Climbing forced him to become more active and eat healthily, leading to his weight loss alongside muscle gain. The user's dedication and hard work were worth it when he finally reached his current weight of 175 pounds.

Conclusion

The Reddit user's weight journey serves as an inspiration to others seeking to change their lifestyle. Although it took him two years to get where he is now, he did not give up and kept pushing forward. The journey required discipline, patience, and determination, but it's a worthwhile investment. It's never too late to make a change and lead a healthier life, just as [deleted] did.
