Introduction

We all agree that losing weight is not an easy feat. Arah, a Reddit user, has shared her journey towards losing 22 pounds in three months in a post that has garnered 97 upvotes, with people praising her hard work and achievement.

Combination of low-carb and calorie reduction diet

For the first six weeks, Arah embraced the low-carb/Atkins diet, which kickstarted her weight loss journey. However, she found it hard to maintain as it left her with low energy for workouts. Instead, she began logging everything that she ate on an app and monitoring her calorie intake. She ate 1700 calories a day, but after losing nothing for 2-3 weeks, she reduced her calorie intake to 1500 per day.

Crossfit Classes as primary exercise

Arah's primary source of exercise was Crossfit classes three times a week. For improvement in overall flexibility and balance, she also incorporated "Cardio Yoga" DVD along with simple toe raises throughout her day-to-day activities.

Motivational Inches off

Arah's journey did not stop at losing weight; she also lost 7 inches off her waist and an additional 10 inches off other body parts. These physical changes became additional motivators in sticking with her journey.

Conclusion

Every weight loss journey is different; what worked for Arah may not work for others. The key takeaway from her journey is that success comes from commitment, hard work, and consistency. Arah's journey is an inspiration that everyone can learn from and apply to their weight loss journey.
