The Journey to 160 lbs

Optimistshine17's peak weight was 160 lbs, achieved near the end of July. However, he soon found that he was beginning to get a little fat, so he cut back on food and lost 10 lbs in just 3 weeks.

Out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber

In a lighthearted reference to Dragon Ball Z, Optimistshine17 shared that he feels as though he's just gotten out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber (a fictional training area designed to greatly increase the user's strength and endurance).

His weight journey is a reminder that fitness is not just about achieving a certain number on the scale, but about building a strong and healthy body.
