Introduction
A 31-year-old woman with a starting weight of 235 pounds shared her six-month weight loss journey on Reddit. She shared that she lost 45 pounds and still has 50 more to go.
Losing almost 2 pounds per week
In six months, she has been able to lose 45 pounds, which is equivalent to 1.73 pounds per week. According to ProgressPicsBot, she has a BMI of 33.7, which is not within the healthy range of 18.5 to 24.9. She still has 50 pounds left to go towards her goal.
Measuring her progress in inches lost
The Reddit user has been measuring her inches lost and body fat percentage to weigh her progress, which she values more than just BMI. She explained that she is getting smaller even though she has not seen the scale go down. Using other forms of data, such as progress pictures, clothing sizes, and fitness goals, can be reassuring and helpful when the scale is not budging.
Being mindful of subtle changes
The user carries her weight well and has an hourglass shape. As a result, she did not realize how much weight she had gained until she decided to lose weight. She has found that the changes can be subtle when the weight gain is evenly distributed throughout the body, making it difficult to see progress and realize how much there is to lose. She has been taking things one pound at a time and reminding herself that weight loss is not linear.
Encouragement to take the first step
This woman's weight loss journey is an inspiration for anyone who wants to lose weight but doesn't know where to start. Taking the first step towards a healthier lifestyle can be challenging, but setting achievable goals and taking small steps can lead to big changes over time. With the right mind-set and support, anyone can achieve their weight loss goals, just like this Reddit user did.
