Introduction
OthelloJones, an M/25/6'2 Reddit user shares his inspiring weight loss journey that started at 231.6lbs and ended at 179.4lbs. He achieved this by logging his food intake, setting a calorie budget, and staying motivated.
Finding Motivation
OthelloJones found motivation by setting a goal of losing 2lbs per week using the Lose It app. He treated beating his last week's calorie deficit as a game, which helped him stay motivated. As he lost weight, the app lowered his calorie budget, but he had already gotten used to healthy eating habits.
No Magic Formula

Inspiration for Others
OthelloJones's post inspired other Reddit users to share their weight loss stories and congratulate him on his achievement. Kalima shared his experience of losing weight by eating oatmeal in the morning, cutting fast food, and staying consistent. Xenmaster got inspired to set his goal to 180lbs.
Conclusion
