A Reddit User's Weight Loss Journey: From 149.4 Lbs to a Healthy Lifestyle

Introduction

At 28 years old, 5'7" and 149.4 lbs, Reddit user 0mGTI decided to take control of her health and embark on a weight loss journey. She sought to be more active and to lose weight in order to feel better about herself.

Balancing a Vegetarian Diet

As a vegetarian, 0mGTI struggled with finding healthy protein sources in her diet. She found that she relied too heavily on carbs like rice and pasta, which were not helping her shed the pounds. A friendly Redditor suggested a delicious protein shake recipe, made with almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, peanut butter and whey protein powder. She found that protein shakes were a great way to supplement her diet and keep her full for longer.

Incorporating Exercise

While 0mGTI did not belong to a gym, she found that by incorporating exercise into her daily routine, she was able to maintain an active lifestyle. She began walking to work and taking more walks throughout the day. She loved the endorphin rush she got from exercise and found that it gave her more energy throughout the day.

Self-Love is Key

0mGTI received an important reminder from another Redditor: to love yourself no matter what the scale says. While her weight loss journey was about feeling better in her own skin, it was not necessary for her to change her body to be loved or accepted. She found motivation in reminding herself that her true friends and loved ones would support her no matter her size or weight.

Find What Works for You

0mGTI's weight loss journey was successful because she found what worked for her. She found motivation in the support of the Reddit community and tried out various workout routines and meal plans to see what suited her best. Her journey serves as a reminder that weight loss is not a one-size-fits-all approach and it takes time and dedication to find what works for you.
