Introduction

Redditor 'lostsompounds' shares their weight loss journey of going from 191lbs to 164lbs in just 3 months.

Using calorie tracking

'lostsompounds' attributes a big part of their weight loss to using MyFitnessPal to track every single calorie. By staying within their calorie limit, they were able to create a calorie deficit and lose weight.

Incorporating exercise

While not consistent, 'lostsompounds' did some light barbell exercise a few days a week and cardio on days where they had consumed more calories than their MyFitnessPal goal. They also plan on incorporating Starting Strength consistently to maintain their weight loss and possibly gain muscle.

Busting the lifting myth

A reply by Redditor 'Lord_Of_Texas' encouraged 'lostsompounds' to start lifting heavy to achieve their desired 'toned' look. The myth of accidentally getting huge muscles by lifting heavy was also debunked, as it takes years of consistent lifting and eating to get to that point.

Conclusion

Through calorie tracking and light exercise, 'lostsompounds' was able to lose 27lbs in just 3 months. Their journey serves as inspiration for those looking to start their own weight loss journey, emphasizing the importance of calorie tracking and incorporating exercise into their routine.
