M/25/5'7 162Lbs to 142Lbs a Look at One Reddit User's Weight Journey

Meet Maximus01701

Maximus01701, a 25-year-old male with a height of 5'7, shares his 4-month weight loss journey on Reddit. With an initial weight of 162lbs, he embarked on a journey to better his health by shedding some pounds.

The Realization

Maximus01701 didn't really notice a difference in his weight until he saw photos of himself before and after his weight loss journey. This realization came when he noticed his gut pushing out while holding the camera, indicating that he was not standing correctly. It was at this point he discovered his true weight loss.

The Debate of Camera Adds 26lbs

In the comments section of the post, the debate arises that the camera adds 26lbs to one's appearance, to which Maximus01701 confirms that it was his posture that pushed his gut out. However, another comment suggested tightening glutes while holding the camera which could help with any lower back stress.

The Method to the Madness

Various comments came in, some of which involved the gym and hitting the gym regularly. Maximus01701 reported that he has shoulder problems so he found it hard to work out regularly. His go-to for pain relief was pre-gaming with 800 MG Ibuprofen. Hence, it was not gym routines that helped lose weight but rather maintaining a healthy diet.

My Takeaway

The results of Maximus01701's 4-month weight loss journey encourage a closer look at our individual journeys. Focusing on a healthy diet has led to positive changes for Maximus01701, and it's something that can be incorporated into our own lives. While hitting the gym is not possible for everyone, a healthy diet and a little bit of creativity can go a long way in making weight loss possible.
