Introduction
A plump woman, aged 29, standing at 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighed 215 pounds. With a fat loss goal in mind, she took to Reddit to share her journey with others. Her post received 12 upvotes but no comments.
Starting Point
Despite her height, she was categorized as overweight according to her BMI. Her problems revolved around constant overeating, and an inability to stick to diets. When she started her journey, her routine included weight lifting, cardio workouts, and a low-carb diet. However, her calorie intake exceeded her daily allowance.
Initial Progress and Obstacles
After three months of rigorous workouts and a low-carb, high-protein diet, she lost 15 pounds. Despite the progress, she encountered obstacles in the form of an injury that prevented her from training for a few weeks. During this period, she lost momentum and regained some of the weight she had lost. She found solace in group accountability, logging food in a journal, and supplementing workout regimes with YouTube tutorials.
Turning Point and Long-Term Success
The turning point in her journey came seven months in, where she finally achieved her target weight of 165 pounds. Her daily gains and losses became more consistent after she began logging her foods via the MyFitnessPal app. She focuses on healthy habits instead of focusing on losing weight, hence why she's maintained her progress long-term. She has managed to keep the weight off by sticking to her workout routine and having occasional 'cheat moments' without letting them ultimately affect her progress.
Conclusion
Her journey shows that losing weight can be a challenging process that rewards patience, accountability, and consistency. Though the woman shared her experiences and tips, there is no one-size-fits-all way to lose weight. Find what works for you and try it out. For some, a low-carb diet and weight lifting might work, while for others, yoga and a vegan diet might work better. The important thing is to find what suits your lifestyle and personality and stick to what works best for you in the long term.
