Introduction
One Reddit user, igetweakx, recently shared her inspiring weight loss journey on the site. Over the course of 15 months, she lost 87.5lbs, going from 253lbs to 165.5lbs. She achieved this through a combination of calorie counting and exercise.
Calorie Counting
Igetweakx used MyFitnessPal to help her count her calories throughout the day. She started out eating around 1500-1600 calories a day, but over time she reduced her intake to 1200-1300 calories. When she felt hungry but didn't want to eat anything, she drank water to help her feel full.
Exercise
Igetweakx went to the gym about three times a week for an hour or so, usually doing the treadmill or stationary bike, or a combination of the two. While some Reddit users suggested that she should incorporate weightlifting into her routine, she opted for cardio instead.
Results
Although igetweakx hasn't had any issues with loose skin yet, some Reddit users raised this as a concern, given the extent of her weight loss. Nonetheless, the vast majority of comments were positive, as Reddit users congratulated her on her hard work and inspiring transformation.
Conclusion
Igetweakx's story is a testament to the power of calorie counting and exercise when it comes to weight loss. While some people may find certain forms of exercise or diets more effective than others, the key is to find a routine that works for you and stick to it diligently. If you're feeling inspired by igetweakx's journey, try things out for yourself and see what kind of results you can achieve!
