Defrostmode's 90Lb Weight Loss Journey From 299Lbs to 209Lbs

Introduction

Defrostmode, a Reddit user, shared his incredible journey of losing 90lbs on the site. Within 22 months, the man went from weighing 299lbs to 209lbs. Though he lost 50lbs in just one month, he acknowledges that it was not intentionally done and was not in a healthy way. As a result, he advises others to take things slow and steady, regardless of their weight-loss goals.

Dealing with stress and pain

The Reddit user shared that he lost 50lbs in a month due to stress and pain after his wife cheated on him and left him. During this time, he struggled with depression, and eating or sleeping became very difficult. While he doesn't recommend others follow in his seemingly extreme footsteps, he encourages individuals to channel their energy and discomfort into something that works for them. Defrostmode chose to spend his time walking, playing with his kids, and cleaning.

Maintaining weight loss

After losing weight, keeping the pounds off can be a real challenge, especially with loose skin. To combat this, Defrostmode suggests light weightlifting to tone up muscles, which can help fill in the loose skin. He believes that building up muscles will be vital to his work and, in the meantime, he continues to exercise through running or walking. But more importantly, this Reddit user advises others not to focus on looking like a body-builder, but instead shift focus to becoming healthy.

Final Thoughts

Defrostmode shares his love for Smallville, a show he enjoyed watching with his son. He purchased a replica leather jacket of Clark's from the show and wears it on cool evenings when he works overnights. He proudly wears the jacket, even though the zipper broke, saying it gives it character. In summary: take things slow, channel pain into something productive, and focus on becoming healthy from the inside out. Defrostmode's journey is an inspiration and proof that results are achievable with hard work and dedication.
