F/19/5'6 Weight Loss: 255Lbs to 143Lbs in 2+ Years

Introduction

Weight loss is often a challenging and personal journey; nonetheless, a Reddit user, Lolcouches, documented her weight loss achievement of 112lbs over two years to inspire and motivate others finding it a challenging journey.

The Inspiration and Determination

It all started with a simple positive thought when Lolcouches woke up one morning and decided that she could not feel so wildly uncomfortable in her body anymore. This situation lead to a determination to correct what she could control through steady progress rather than a drastic quick fix. As such, she commenced daily calorie counting, cut all drinks except water, herbal tea, and black coffee out of her life. When she dropped enough weight, Lolcouches added running to her workout routine.

Fitness-Based Dreams

Lolcouches lost her excess weight slowly and steadily over time, but her dedication to improve her fitness continues. She has been running 5ks for more than two years and already has a few fitness-based dreams: improving her time for 5ks, running a half marathon, and maybe even graduating to 10ks. Lolcouches also recognized that even with considerable weight loss, insecurities exist, particularly with loose skin. She has hence started a strength training regimen. As she is still young, she wants to take it more slowly but hopes to make a difference with the loose skin.

The Community Support

The positivity and support of the Reddit community assisted Lolcouches in staying focused on her goals, notably that of showing a before and after transformation that she could be proud of. This community was invaluable to her as she persisted with silence and determination.

Conclusion

Lolcouches' remarkable transformation was deserving of the 1112 Reddit upvotes she received. The journey was not easy, but through her determination and positive mindset, she managed to conquer her weight problems. Although she may still have some insecurities, Lolcouches has transformed into a confident and active person. Her achievements can be a motivation to anyone fighting the battle of the bulge. Success and progress are attainable for anyone determined to control what is within their reach.
