Introduction

Losing weight can be a challenging task, requiring determination and consistency. A Reddit user, Feyedharkonnen, took on this challenge and embarked on an 18-month weight journey. Starting at 220 lbs and ending at 170 lbs, he successfully lost 50 lbs by adopting an active lifestyle.

Biking for weight loss

Feyedharkonnen adopted biking as his primary mode of transportation; he got rid of his car and embraced biking as a year-round activity.

Diet and exercise

Feyedharkonnen claimed that he never really modified his diet; his success was achieved through exercise. By replacing his car with a bike, he was able to incorporate exercise into his daily routine. He also mentioned that hitting a plateau at times is normal and sticking to an exercise regimen is crucial. Sometimes the body can reach a natural stopping point, but that shouldn't deter someone from continuing to stay active.
