F/25/5'3/165Lbs One Woman's Journey to Fitness

Starting on a high note

LittleBear2011 introduced herself to the r/loseit subreddit when she was at her heaviest - 165lbs. Her first post drew a supportive crowd, with users wishing her luck and offering helpful tips. However, one comment stood out - 'Deleted Facebook; check. Hit the gym? Pending. Lawyer up? N/A. Good luck :-)'. This inspired her to take action, and she updated her post to say she was on her way to the gym.

Why quitting Facebook was important

When asked about quitting Facebook, LittleBear2011 cited multiple reasons. She was tired of people she barely knew from 10 years ago bugging her, was overwhelmed by drama, and found that her family members - including her grandma - were joining the social media platform. But quitting Facebook also gave her the opportunity to allocate that time towards fitness goals, which worked as a great distraction from any withdrawal symptoms she experienced.

Support from the community

One of the best things about r/loseit is the supportive community. Commenters on LittleBear2011's intro post congratulated her on taking the first step towards fitness and offered encouraging words. One commenter was curious about why LittleBear2011 wanted to change her 'rack', to which she replied that finding comfortable bras was an issue. It was great to see a lighthearted conversation in the middle of such a supportive forum.

Changing her lifestyle

LittleBear2011's journey to weight loss and fitness didn't stop at hitting the gym. She looked for activities to do outside of the gym, like hiking, and turned to healthier food choices, like vegetables. As she began to see the positive changes in her body and overall health, she decided to sign up for a 5K - and completed it with flying colors. Encouraged by her success, she looked for more opportunities to try new things, like weightlifting.

Takeaway message

LittleBear2011's journey serves as an inspiring reminder that with hard work and dedication, anyone can achieve their fitness goals - regardless of where they start. Taking control of one's diet and exercise routines can lead to a happier, healthier life, but it starts with taking that first step. As LittleBear2011 said in her intro post, 'It's just time for a change'. If you're thinking about making a change too, why not take inspiration from her story and start today?
