Introduction
A young man named PegasusNipples posted his journey of weight loss on Reddit. He managed to shed 30lbs in one year and was 'happy with his progress.' However, he deemed his milestone as mediocre. Let's take a closer look at his journey.
The journey
PegasusNipples started out by cutting down on his intake of calories and doing exercises like running and bodyweight exercises from May to November. He then started going to the gym but considered bulking, which did not work out too well. One year later, he started going to the gym and eating at a deficit. In the future, he plans on starting a lean bulk to achieve the look he desires.
The Comments
Users of Reddit congratulated him for his progress and encouraged him to keep going, and some even advised him to start a clean, healthy bulk. Many people complimented him and said that his progress was not mediocre at all. Though PegasusNipples may have referred to his progress as mediocre, his results show that his weight loss has been nothing short of exceptional.
Conclusion
This shows that sometimes we can be our own worst critics. What we may deem as average or mediocre may actually be outstanding progress. For anyone struggling with weight loss, this story is an inspiration and could spark the motivation that you need to get rid of those extra pounds. Discipline, hard work, and determination are key to achieving one's fitness goals. So why not take your first steps today?
Takeaway
For aspiring weight losers, regardless of their age or gender, the lesson to learn from Pegasus's post is that even slow and steady progress can result in fantastic results. It's essential to keep going and maintain a positive attitude, for fitness is not about being perfect/superhuman, but about steady progress in the right direction. Stay active, try different activities, create a balanced diet, and don’t be too hard on yourself. Progress takes time, so don't give up.
