F/26/5'2" [160-148=12lbs] I never thought I made enough progress to post, but I'm starting to see it now. It's not much, but I'm feeling stronger each day.

Introduction

A Reddit user named heyitsmekelsey recently posted about their weight loss journey, going from 160 to 148lbs. Although she never thought she made enough progress to post about it, she’s celebrating her small victories and noticing the changes in her strength and confidence.

Positive Feedback

Reddit users commented on kelsey’s post with positive and encouraging feedback. For example, one user complimented her on wearing a crop top, as a sign of confidence that comes with results. Kelsey later explained she was actually wearing a long-sleeved, baggy shirt and lifted it only in a secluded area alone.

Weight Loss Goals

Kelsey’s journey led her to become a stronger person, not just physically but emotionally. She has been working on her weight loss goals consistently and now finds herself getting stronger each day. Some users also shared their own weight loss journeys, showing the power of an online community to support and motivate each other.

Dealing with Muffin Tops

Another user in the thread, named hiker_chic, commented about how they lost weight but found they still had a muffin top. Even though they were still in the same size jeans, they were aiming to lose another 20lbs to get rid of it. This highlights the reality that weight loss isn’t always distributed evenly, and that everyone’s journey is different.

Conclusion

Kelsey’s story is a reminder to celebrate small victories in our weight loss journeys. While it’s easy to get discouraged by the scale, progress can be measured in other ways too, like feeling stronger and more confident every day. We can learn from online communities like Reddit by sharing our stories, offering support and motivation, and adapting to the changing goals and challenges that come with weight loss journeys.
