Introduction

Losing weight can be challenging, but it's a common concern for many people. One Reddit user, ardelavanda, decided to embark on a journey to lose 12 pounds in 11 months. Her progress photos and story have inspired others on the platform.

Eating Habits

The first step in ardelavanda's weight loss journey was to change her eating habits. She began eating healthier foods and stopped indulging in emotional eating and boredom snacks. She learned to listen to her body and eat only when she was hungry. Her weight loss was also aided by an illness that caused her to lose her appetite and subsequent weight loss. Once she felt better, she found the determination to continue on her journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Exercise

Along with changing her eating habits, ardelavanda also incorporated exercise into her routine. She began lifting weights and added cardio to her routine. By building muscle mass, she not only lost fat but also toned her muscles, giving her a leaner look.

Motivation

Ardelavanda's motivation came from following fitness models on Instagram and seeing their progress along with her own journey keeping her focused on achieving her goal. The positive comments and encouragement she received from Reddit users also helped to keep her on track. She is determined to continue her journey to a healthier lifestyle and inspire others to do the same.

Conclusion

Ardelavanda's weight loss journey is a testament that small changes in eating habits and incorporating exercise into daily routines can have significant effects. Her journey shows that with hard work and determination, anyone can achieve their weight loss goals. It's important to remember that weight loss is not a one size fits all solution, but finding what works for you through trial and error can ultimately lead to success.
