Success Story: 55Lb Weight Loss in 6 Months with Balanced Diet and Exercise

Introduction

Despite struggling with portion sizes and snacking, a Reddit user wtxrobbi has successfully shed 55lbs through a balanced diet and exercise. During the six-month journey, he lowered his calorie intake to 1200 per day and started portioning out dinners.

Dietary Changes

The Reddit user admits his calorie intake before the weight loss was "disgusting," involving Taco Bell every day, overeating at dinner, and snacking throughout the day. He then opted for a 1200 calorie diet that MyFitnessPal recommended based on his height and weight. Alongside dieting, he started working out once a week, increased it to four times a week, and participated in regular 5k races.

Positive Feedback

Numerous Reddit users praised his perseverance and complimented his appearance, to which he replied with gratitude. Some of the commenters, particularly scrabbledon and rizz0therat, inquired about his diet further and found his achievement impressive.

Hair and Mustache

Some of the commenters also asked about the color of his hair and lamented the loss of his mustache. The original poster responded to that he let go of his mustache as part of the life-style change.

Toning

Lastly, one user asked about what "toning" meant as he was hoping to define his muscles further. Wtxrobbi explained that he planned to intensify his exercise and diet further and work towards more defined abs. Other commenters recommended visiting the fitness subreddit and starting weight-lifting programs that could help achieve his desired results.
