Introduction

One Reddit user, mmarleau, recently posted on the site to share his inspiring story of losing 155lbs in just 20 months. We unpack his journey to see what he did to achieve his weight loss goals.

Cutting out fast food

At the start of his transformation, mmarleau cut his daily caloric intake from 4,000 to 2,000 by eliminating fast food and switching to diet soda. Once he lost 120lbs, he focused on weightlifting to aid muscle growth while continuing to cut down to 1,500 calories per day.

Exercise regime

During the early stages of his weight loss journey, mmarleau alternated between 40 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of weightlifting. However, he later realized his loose skin wouldn’t fully recover, so he switched to weightlifting to help tighten his skin. He now does an hour of intense lifting with a 10-15 minute cardio warm-up and 10 minutes of light jogging to finish.

Inspiration for others

Mmarleau's inspiring story demonstrates that it's possible to shed a significant amount of weight through healthier habits and a regular exercise regime. His journey shows that with self-discipline and dedication, it’s possible to overcome unhealthy habits and achieve your weight loss goals.

Conclusion

Mmarleau’s weight loss journey not only inspired over 200 Reddit users, but it serves as a reminder that healthier habits can lead to a more fulfilling life. With fast food giving way to healthier options, and an exercise routine, even the most challenging weight loss goals can be achieved. Anyone looking to shed some pounds can take a leaf out of mmarleau's book.
