How Reddit User Chunk23 Lost over 80Lbs Through Running and Lifting in 2 Years

Reddit user chunk23, a 28-year-old man standing at 6'1" tall, had an amazing transformation journey that he shared with the online community. He went from a weight of 265lbs to 177lbs in the span of two years. In the first year, he engaged in almost all running activities to shed the excess weight, but he realized that he was losing muscle mass as well. In the second year, he incorporated lifting exercises to his workouts to build muscle, which he began to notice was starting to fill in the loose skin in his stomach area.

Chunk23 found that following a mix of both cardio and lifting exercises gave him the results he was after. He was running 6-8 miles, 3-4 times a week and lifting weights on the other days. He was eating on a surplus on lifting days and a deficit on running days. Despite always being at a calorie deficit, his body was able to build muscle and achieve an admirable fitness level.

Many Reddit users were impressed with chunk23's transformation, particularly in relation to his eliminated risk of developing man boobs and flabby skin. Chunk23 said he was lucky not to have developed man boobs as a 'husky lad,' and was able to develop a decent chest as a result.

Chunk23's dedication and commitment to this lifestyle change proved to be a real game-changer for him. In commenting on his journey, he shared that he was always feeling good and energized. He encourages anyone who wishes to make a significant life change, to give running and lifting a try.

Chunk23's accomplishment is truly inspiring, proving that with discipline, a person can achieve their fitness goals. He is a testament to how taking small consistent steps towards your goals eventually leads to great accomplishments. His journey is indeed a reminder that consistency is key.
