Introduction

One Reddit user, LadyMacDeath, has shared her story of weight loss over the past 5 years. Her journey has not been a linear one, and she has faced numerous challenges along the way. However, her story serves as an inspiration to those who may feel discouraged on their own journeys.

The Progress

LadyMacDeath started her journey at 218 pounds, but over the past 5 years, she has lost 68 pounds. This has not come without ups and downs, including a brutal plateau after the loss of her little brother this summer. However, she has managed to overcome these obstacles and has made significant progress. The Facebook reminder of her progress serves as a testament to her perseverance and hard work.

Dealing with Loose Skin

LadyMacDeath has been asked about whether she experienced loose skin, to which she responded that while she had some on her tummy, arms, and under her neck, it was nothing that really bothered her. She also had loose skin on her chest due to going from a size 42i cup to a 34DDD, but had a lift to remove it about a year ago. Her main way of dealing with any remaining loose skin has been through weightlifting, which has helped things stretch back into place.

Overcoming Tragedy

LadyMacDeath has faced significant tragedy in her life, losing both her little brother and a close friend in a short period of time. This understandably took a toll on her motivation, and she gained 10 pounds quickly after her friend passed away. However, she managed to regroup and get back to the gym in January to lose 5 of those pounds. Her brother and friend continue to serve as sources of strength for her, pushing her to continue pursuing her goals of being happy and healthy.

Conclusion

LadyMacDeath's story serves as an inspiration to anyone who may have experienced setbacks or hardships on their own journeys. While it is okay to feel discouraged at times, it is important to keep pushing forward and striving for progress. Everyone's journey will be different, but progress is progress, no matter how small it may seem. By focusing on the bigger picture and finding motivation and strength in the things and people that matter most, it is possible to achieve one's goals and live a healthier, happier life.
