How much weight did this Reddit poster say he lost?
According to a post in r/progresspics, a 45-year-old man who is 5’5” says he started at 383 pounds and reached 150 pounds — a reported loss of 233 pounds — over 54 months. He titled the post “M/45/5’5”[383lbs > 150lbs = 233lbs] 54 months DONE!!” and framed it as the close of a long chapter, not an overnight fix.
What changes did he describe beyond the scale?
The post lists more than a single number. He says his waist went from 60 inches to 28 inches, his body fat dropped from 80% to 19%, and his shirt size went from 5x to medium. Those details, all self-reported in the original text, paint a picture of a transformation that played out over more than four years rather than weeks.
What did he say comes next?
In his own words, “the weight loss chapter closes” and “it is time to maintain and recomp in the gym.” He described the process as “far from perfect,” but said he now feels “happy, healthy, fit, and confident again.”
Why does a post like this stand out?
There’s no routine, no supplement stack, no coach credited in the post — just a number, a timeline, and a short reflection. He closed with a message to others: “Be kind to yourselves and stay focused. You got this!!” The claims here come directly from his Reddit post and haven’t been independently verified beyond the text itself.
