Sustainable Lifestyle Changes

Many people make the mistake of trying to lose weight quickly through extreme methods such as cutting out all carbs and exercising excessively. However, this approach is often unsustainable and leads to quick weight gain as soon as the strict regimen is abandoned. The Reddit user, vibrantdanni, shares the importance of making changes that can be maintained for years, rather than just a few weeks or months.

Counting Calories

Vibrantdanni mentions counting calories as a key factor in her weight loss journey. However, she also emphasizes the importance of being honest and accurate with calorie logging. In the past, she admits to having cheated herself by not logging her food intake properly. By being diligent and truthful about calorie counting, she has seen successful results.

Slow and Steady Progress

Another comment on the Reddit thread suggests that the user should have been able to easily lose 2lbs per week at her weight. However, vibrantdanni's focus is not on losing weight as quickly as possible, but on making changes that can be sustained for a long period. She is working with a trainer and nutritionist, and trying paleo cutting cycles to help her reach her goals.

Support System

Weight loss can be a challenging journey, but it's important to have a support system. Vibrantdanni received encouragement from fellow Reddit users who shared similar experiences and gave her encouragement. She even has a partner who has joined her on her journey, and they hold each other accountable by going to the gym together.

Trying Things Out

This Reddit user's weight loss journey shows the power of sustainable lifestyle changes and slow progress. It's important to find what works for you and to stick with it. Trying extreme methods may lead to temporary weight loss, but it is not a sustainable approach. By making changes that can be maintained, the weight will come off gradually and stay off in the long run.
