Reddit user Kibaspirit shares her inspiring 95lb weight loss journey through a post with 386 upvotes. She transformed from 245lbs to 150lbs through a combination of diet and exercise. Her experience provides tips and motivation for anyone looking to embark on their health and fitness journey.

Keto for Weight Loss

Kibaspirit credits her success to following the keto diet, where she was able to track her macros and maintain a 20% calorie deficit. She primarily ate bacon and eggs at the start and then transitioned to incorporating more vegetables. She also avoided all things with added sugar and weird ingredients. Kibaspirit admits to indulging after eight months, but avoided the foods she ate before her transformation.

Avoiding Loose Skin

One commenter asked Kibaspirit how she avoided loose skin after significant weight loss. She responded that she didn't have any because she lost weight gradually and stayed on the low-carb bandwagon. Kibaspirit also mentioned that her weight distributed proportionally and carried it well, but stretch marks on her sides were still prominent.

In the comments, she shares her experience, tips and answers the questions about the lifestyle changes she made. She also explains her continued journey to maintain her weight and not to become a slave to the scale. She emphasizes avoiding self-destructive behavior when binges or cheating happens, and instead focuses on getting back on track with her healthy lifestyle.

Conclusion

Kibaspirit’s journey highlights the benefits of following an effective diet combined with regular exercise for weight loss. While it is essential to maintain motivation and work hard, each person's weight loss journey is unique. Kibaspirit's success shows that with hard work and determination, anyone can achieve their desired fitness goals. It is important to find the right lifestyle for each individual and stick to it. Start small, stay consistent, and don’t be afraid to ask for help, like the community at Reddit did. With perseverance and patience, anyone can be successful.
