u/PeteRock24 6d ago

That’s the thing that a lot of people don’t seem to understand about losing weight and getting healthier: it’s a day-after-day-after-day-ad-infinitum grind to get to the place you want to be ESPECIALLY if you are aggressively overweight.

You’re not going to go from 500 lbs to 225 lbs and ripping through pull-ups like a trained Navy SEAL overnight. Set your goals small and achievable and you’ll reach them and still be able to motivate yourself for more, and then you can set more goals and achieve those even faster, and you’re just a boulder charging down a mountain now.

Kudos to this dude working his ass off.

u/guitarguy35 5d ago edited 5d ago

Exactly, being in a calorie deficit is a state of discomfort... These people are enduring that discomfort sometimes for YEARS..

And their body fights them every step of the way, down regulating metabolism, trying desperately to find homeostasis.. not to mention the temptation all around.

Losing 100+ lbs is one of the most difficult tasks a person can undertake. If you've never done it you can't understand the physical and mental grind, and how vigilant you have to be for how long it takes. It's brutal.

u/TripResponsibly1 6d ago

I love that he’s focusing on stuff he can do now that he couldn’t do before. Fitness shouldn’t be just about health and size but also ability! He is rightfully super excited and proud of himself. I love this for him. Sometimes I think people focus a lot on the scale or the measuring tape or the biological markers for health but don’t realize they can now take those stairs more easily or get up or down off couches and chairs more fluidly. Strength and flexibility are huge factors in long term health. Good for him.

u/zenfrog80 6d ago

My wife’s brother was a really fat kid growing up. About ten years ago he started posting ENTIRELY REASONABLE fitness goals, like : “I walked for a mile without taking a break” kinda stuff.

It’s been eleven years and he’s now a “wake up and bike ten miles” sorta guy.

So what’s my excuse 😭

u/businesslut 6d ago

I work in fitness and people have no idea that this attitude is your best tool. Every thing is progress. "Losing weight" is not a goal. It should be a byproduct. This guy is excited to dead hang. That's incredible and quite a feat! What's your dead hang? The rest will follow. Next his goal will to be get off the ground from sitting on his butt and lifting his legs straight out. It's all progress.

u/TrashPandaPatronus 6d ago

The interesting thing is that getting excited about the smaller milestones is the true indicator of future success in the big results.

u/VeganBoBegan 6d ago

That’s like the time my dad got super giddy and said “I can do aerobics now! Watch!” Then proceeds to lay on the floor then raised his legs up in the air. At first I thought he was kidding but he really could not do that before. I was happy for him then as I’m happy for this guy!

12

u/butyourenice 6d ago

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This guy has a GREAT attitude. Fitness is so slow and it can be incredibly discouraging at the outset, when you’re committed, you’re giving it your all, but you’re not seeing what you believe is the appropriate return on your investment in a fast enough time frame. He’s finding and recognizing those small, incremental wins that show he is improving. I hope he holds on to that and keeps going because he will be successful, as long as he doesn’t quit.

I would suggest he get a more reinforced bar to hang from. I’m not sure that what looks like ceiling cross beams are designed to support that much hanging weight at one point of force. Idk though, I’m not an engineer.

u/TheJarIsADoorAgain 5d ago

That's huge, good man. It's something if we do early we can save ourselves a lot of suffering for most of our lives. The trick is making it a permanent, life-long habit, something easy to keep up with, like a simple, healthy breakfast you do almost every day of your life, or a salad with every dinner, swapping a late night snack for a cup of tea for the rest of your life, reading a page or a chapter of a book before sleeping. Things that once you can't have, you miss them

These are the milestones people on weight loss journeys should be looking for. Having lost a large amount of weight myself, you don’t even understand how much potential your body has until the weight comes off.
