Meet sixftinflats, a Reddit user whose weight loss journey has been an inspiration to many. A 30-year-old woman with a height of 6 ft, she began her journey in February this year, weighing in at 178 lbs and with a body fat percentage of 26. In just six months, she has achieved a remarkable body transformation and now weighs 170 lbs with a body fat percentage of 22%.

Sixftinflats has attributed her success to weightlifting, which she does three days a week, along with two or three days of cardio. While she tries to eat clean and consume a lot of protein, she admits having the occasional pizza or mashed potatoes with butter. However, she emphasizes the importance of lifting heavy weights to reshape the body.

Sixftinflats encourages women to try lifting weights, highlighting the importance of adding lean body mass to burn more calories at rest, which makes it possible to consume more calories and still lose body fat. She also recommends getting a trainer for a month to learn about form and learn what you can and cannot do. She stresses the importance of educating oneself and shares that most of what she knows has come from r/xxfitness, a subreddit that advocates women lifting weights.

Sixftinflats has shared her workout routine on Reddit, which involves doing four sets of 8-12 reps on each exercise, introducing heavier weights occasionally in the third set until ready to graduate to the next weight up. Exercises include squats, deadlifts, barbell rows, bench press, and overhead press with dumbbells.

Sixftinflats's story is an inspiring journey of perseverance and willpower, which proves that lifting weights can be a fantastic way to reshape your body and lose weight. Her progress pictures and advice on Reddit should encourage others to try things out for themselves and see what works for them. Her success story is reason enough to believe that anyone's fitness goals can be achieved with the right mindset and the right kind of exercise.
