Calorie Counting

Elafacwen started her weight loss journey by counting calories using the app MyFitnessPal. She bought a food scale and measured everything she ate, logging it all in the app. She reduced her calorie intake to 1200 per day, which helped her lose around 70 lbs in just a few months.

Taekwondo

In August, Elafacwen added Taekwondo to her routine, doing an hour of it four days a week. She says that it has been the best decision she has ever made on both a mental and physical level. Exercise is a great way to boost weight loss and improve overall health, and Taekwondo has helped Elafacwen to build strength and cardio endurance.

Loose Skin

Elafacwen admits that loose skin is going to be a problem, particularly in her upper arm/armpit area and thigh region. She still has fat to lose in these areas, so she is unsure if exercise is helping to tighten the skin or not. However, she remains optimistic about her future progress.
