Introduction
The user mikesweeney on Reddit has shared his incredible weight loss journey of losing 162 pounds in a year through nothing but diet and exercise. In this article, we will look at his tips, challenges, and experiences in detail.
What motivated him to lose weight?
Mikesweeney says he just decided one day to stop being so uncomfortable and fat. He had no magical moment or inspiration. He knew he had to put his mind to it and lose weight.
How did he lose weight?
Mikesweeney followed the conventional weight loss formula of diet and exercise. He tried to eat smaller portions and healthier foods such as vegetables while cutting down on meat. He also stopped drinking beer Sunday-Thursday. He worked out twice a day on an elliptical machine, usually for an hour and a half a day.
Challenges he faced
Mikesweeney faced challenges like extra skin and having to buy new sets of clothes every few months. He shopped in thrift stores to reduce costs as the clothes would not fit in a couple of months. Nevertheless, he soldiered on and kept exercising and watching his diet.
The future and tips
Mikesweeney would like to lose another 20-30lbs, but he is content with where he is right now. He advises people to find a routine that suits them and run with it. People should not cut everything from their diets and should work towards healthier eating habits gradually. Finally, he advises people not to compare their journeys to others but to keep their focus on their goals.
