The Beginning of the Journey

Nucleusofchange, an 18-year-old female, weighing 161 lbs, started her weight loss journey by eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking more water and cutting out junk food. She enrolled in an exercise class and did 30 minutes of cardio every day, which helped her lose 7 lbs in the first two weeks.

The Struggle with Sunburns and Weight Gains

In week three, Nucleusofchange noticed a 2 lb weight gain and was also struggling with painful sunburns. She got stressed, but she did not give up. Instead, she continued with her routine and did not let setbacks control her.

The Importance of Meal Planning

Nucleusofchange faced a challenge in her dorm room, which did not have a kitchen. However, she refused to let this stop her progress. She focused on meal planning, which enabled her to make healthy choices and avoid the temptation of junk food. Planning her meals ensured that she stayed within her calorie limit and avoided snacking.

The Discipline to Sustain the Weight Loss

Nucleusofchange enjoyed her exercise routine and took up jogging for an hour every day instead of 30 minutes. She also started lifting weights to build muscle, which helped increase her metabolism. She stuck to her routine and maintained a calorie deficit. She also learned to appreciate the benefits of getting enough sleep and staying hydrated.

Conclusion

Despite the challenges, Nucleusofchange lost weight and sustained it. By being disciplined and consistent, she built momentum and made her new lifestyle a habit. She encourages anyone who wants to lose weight to start small, make sustainable changes and stick to them. Don't worry too much about setbacks; instead, focus on the progress made so far, and the goal will be achieved in the end.
