One Reddit user, alleywaysway, recently shared their weight loss journey on the platform. They went from 145 pounds to 110 pounds, losing a total of 35 pounds. The user is a 26-year-old female and stands at 5'0''.
Maintaining weight loss can often be more difficult than losing the weight itself. When asked how they were able to keep off the weight, alleywaysway shared that they shifted their focus to eating for health rather than just calorie counting. They try new healthy recipes and also focus on their water intake.
The user also mentioned struggles with emotional eating but logs it every time they do it. They do not keep unhealthy food in their house but still enjoy food in moderation, as they and their boyfriend love food. The user also makes sure to never miss a Monday workout, which sets them up for a good week of exercise and healthy eating.
Alleywaysway shared that while they did gain back a few pounds after their initial weight loss, it was a good lesson to learn. They also mentioned that they are currently training for a half-marathon with their boyfriend, which helps them focus on their fitness goals.
Overall, the user's mindset shift from calorie counting to eating for health and fuel seems to have helped them maintain the weight loss. They also prioritize exercise and pay attention to their water intake, while still enjoying food in moderation. This serves as a reminder that weight loss is not just about dieting, but about creating a sustainable healthy lifestyle.
