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

OthelloJones didn't follow a strict diet but adhered to calorie in and calorie out. He didn't change his eating habits but moderated his fried chicken intake. Cutting fast food and eating oatmeal in the morning also helped in losing weight.

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

OthelloJones's journey shows that weight loss is achievable with consistency, motivated by self-competition and basic adherence to calorie in and calorie out. While everyone's journey is unique, OthelloJoness's experiment is worth trying out for anyone struggling with weight loss.
