At just 18 years old, this reddit user who remains anonymous has managed to successfully lose 38 pounds in a total of 7 months. Though their weight loss seems to have recently paused, they're determined to try new things and get down to their goal weight of 200 pounds.

Initial Success and Roadblocks

The user says that their initial weight loss success came from simply eating healthy, with a lot more focus on fruits and vegetables over processed food. Physical activity also played a big role in the early stages. However, the user faced roadblocks such as lack of motivation and being unable to keep up with regular gym sessions.

Trial and Error

The user tried different things to reignite their progress, such as calorie counting, but found it hard to maintain. They also turned to Reddit and other sources for inspiration and advice, something we highly recommend if you're on a weight loss journey yourself. The user has now begun tracking their macros and testing new exercise routines to find what works best for them.

The Importance of Persistence

The user's experience shows that while it's not always a smooth-sailing journey, persistence and a willingness to try new things can lead to success. Weight loss doesn't always happen quickly, but by consistently making healthy choices and staying committed, you can achieve your goals. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all solution, so don't be afraid to experiment with different methods and find what works best for you.
