Introduction
One Reddit user's post has been garnering attention for their incredible weight loss journey. Going from 232lbs all the way down to 185lbs in just 5 months, they accomplished their goal weight which they had been working towards for quite some time.

Diet Regimen
The user used a simple method of consuming a calorie deficit of about 500 calories per day which totaled at 1800 calories daily. They had not been overly concerned with tracking macro nutrients but were sure to consume roughly 180g of protein. The key to consistency was logging every single calorie consumed and tracking it with MyFitnessPal. This self-discipline allowed them to stay true to their calorie intake goals even if they had a cheat meal.
Exercise Routine
The user began working out 3 times a week with a push/pull/leg split. At first, they only did cardio once per week and played basketball on the weekend. They did not start incorporating cardio until July. As they progressed, cardio and working out became easier creating a better desire to add it to their routine.
Interactions With Other Reddit Users
Other Reddit users began asking questions about their weight loss journey including their current body fat percentage and visible abs. The original poster estimated their current body fat percentage to be somewhere around 15% and they only see slight abs in certain light. Many others congratulated the poster on their success while also sharing their current weight loss journey or goals. The post is a great resource for anyone looking for motivation or tips to start their own weight loss journey.
Conclusion
The Reddit post is a valuable resource for anyone who may be looking to lose weight but is unsure of the steps to take. The simple approach of consuming fewer calories and exercising more has resulted in a significant reduction in weight. Tracking calories and staying consistent with workouts are important keys to achieving one's goal. Anyone who is on this journey and in a similar position to the Reddit user could definitely try out this method for themselves and possibly achieve their goal weight as well.
