Weight loss isn't harder as you age

Many people believe that losing weight becomes more difficult as you age, but this Reddit user proves that it isn't true. At the age of 35, he takes control of his health and wellness and starts to make changes. He joins a gym and makes better food choices to begin his journey towards long-term weight loss.

Plateauing is not the end

As he starts to see progress, he gets demotivated and hits a plateau at 210lbs. Instead of giving up, he has a heart-to-heart with himself and decides that he needs to work harder to reach his goal. With determination, he is able to overcome the plateau and achieve a weight of 172lbs - a total weight loss of 73lbs in 24 months.

Mindset matters

This Reddit user also highlights the importance of mindset in weight loss. He notes that it wasn't any harder for him to lose weight at 35 than it was at 25, as long as he kept his mind on track. He shares that he had to have a heart-to-heart with himself and make the decision to be dedicated to his health and well-being. Keeping the right mindset, he was able to overcome obstacles and continue to make progress towards his goal.

Motivation from others

Through sharing his story on Reddit, this user is able to motivate and inspire others on their own weight loss journeys. Commenters praise his dedication and hard work, and he feels empowered by the positive support he receives. Seeing the progress and success of others can be a great motivation for those looking to start or continue their own weight loss journey.

Try it out for yourself

While this man's weight loss journey is inspiring, it's important to remember that everyone's journey is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. If you're looking to make changes to your own health and wellness, take inspiration from those who have succeeded before you, but also be willing to try different approaches to see what works for you. With dedication and support, it is possible to achieve long-term weight loss goals at any age.
