A Reddit user called weightloss161126 has recently shared her inspiring success story of how she lost 35 pounds in 17 months by counting calories and exercising regularly.

The key to weightloss161126's success was calorie-counting. She diligently followed a 1200-calorie diet and ate high-protein foods throughout the day to promote satiety. Her calorie intake had no real restrictions on what she ate, but she was mindful of what she consumed. By keeping track of her daily calorie intake through MyFitnessPal app, she was easily able to see how many calories were in the food she ate and how many she had left for the day.

Exercise Routine

Her next goal is to continue with the running program while adding power yoga three times a week to her routine to help maintain her weight loss.

Social Support

She was supported by their encouragement and joined in on the discussion threads frequently.
