Introduction

One Reddit user, wantonregard, began his weight loss journey about 7 months ago, and he has already lost 97lbs. He shared his progress on r/progresspics and received plenty of motivational comments.

Small changes, big results

The Reddit user made a significant change by quitting soda, beer, and doing part-time pizza deliveries, which are good exercises (~4 miles per shift). These aren't drastic changes, but they resulted in remarkable progress. The Reddit user posted updates almost every week, and his face has become less round over time.

Setting realistic goals

According to comments on the post, wantonregard aims to get to the mid to high 200s, but he still has a long way to go. By setting realistic goals, he has been able to achieve measurable success. He attributes a lot of his progress to quitting soda and beer, which is encouraging for anyone looking to make small changes that add up over long periods of time.

Encouragement from the community

Some of the comments on the Reddit post were incredibly encouraging. People applauded his progress, offered advice on how to continue the journey, and reminded him to be kind to himself. Most importantly, the comments show that there is support out there for anyone struggling with weight loss.

Conclusion

The Reddit user's progress is inspiring because it highlights that weight loss isn't only achievable for people with access to expensive programs or complicated weight loss routines. Instead, focusing on small changes with achievable goals can lead to sustainable progress. Anyone can replicate the Reddit user's results by making small changes and tracking progress regularly. Small changes can go a long way - even if you start with something as simple as quitting soda or doing some extra walking!
