Article by Madeleine Smith
Introduction
Losing weight is hard, but it's even harder when you're doing it alone. That's why many people turn to social media websites, like Reddit, to share their progress, motivate others, and get support. One of those people is Reddit user soitgoes8, a 26-year-old woman who recently shared her before and after photos, along with some details about her weight loss journey.
The Numbers
According to her post, soitgoes8 went from weighing 155lbs to 135lbs in one year, which translates to a 20-pound loss. While that might not sound like a lot to some people, it's an impressive feat nonetheless, especially given that she's only 5'4". In terms of BMI, her starting number was 26.6 (which is considered overweight) and her ending number was 23.2 (which is healthy).
The Routine
So how did she do it? According to her post, she followed a basic CICO (calories in, calories out) model, eating between 1200-1500 calories a day. She emphasized eating whole foods as much as possible, but also allowed herself to eat what she wanted as long as it fit into her calorie budget. Additionally, she did cardio workouts from FitnessBlender (such as HIIT and running) and also did some light strength training.
The Comments
Soitgoes8's post received over 1200 upvotes and dozens of positive comments from other Reddit users who were inspired by her transformation. Some commenters congratulated her on her hard work, others asked for tips, and still, others commended her on her *ahem* female physique. In any case, the comments were overwhelmingly positive and supportive. One user even shared that they showed her post to their wife as motivation to start her own weight loss journey.
Conclusion
Overall, Soitgoes8's weight loss journey is a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and social support. While weight loss can be tough, it's always helpful to have a community of people rooting for you and cheering you on. If you're thinking about starting your own weight loss journey, consider joining a subreddit, sharing your progress, and getting advice from others who have been through it before. Remember: you got this!
