Is my 30-pound weight loss in 8 months at my age considered normal?

Back in January 2026 my weight was around 270 as of August 2026 I lost about 30 pounds at 240. Is this a normal weight loss time frame for me? 📉 I been drinking lots of water, going out for walks and keeping the stress down.

The baby on the photo is my newborn nephew.

No, that's not normal. You are obviously making an effort to lose weight and get healthy. And you're succeeding. Keep going dude.

Next step, lose the baggy shorts, t-shirts, and sneakers.

Balance the walking with some resistance training or bodyweight exercise like pushups, sit-ups, squats, and pullups. There's a lot of muscle in your upper body not being worked by walking. You can increase your calorie burn if you work your upper body.

Awww look at the little guy. And yeah, that's normal and a solid pace.

Damn good job dude!

Yeah you maybe need to loose a bit more. Maybe get a bit of a tan, and some cardio in. I thought you were a trans man at first. You really need to shake up your routine.

I'm a straight guy. I have cut down on foods and only drink pop on the weekends.
