The Journey of a Remarkable Weight Loss

Reddit user lowfoam recently shared her dramatic weight loss journey on the platform. Over 39 months, she lost an impressive 83 pounds, going from 220 to 137 pounds. While it wasn’t an easy road to travel, her experience can inspire others who are trying to lose weight.

A Combination of Efforts

To reach her goal, lowfoam combined exercise with a 1,000 calorie diet. Initially, she was going to the gym for 1-2 hours a day, seven days a week. Nowadays, as a teacher, she doesn't have as much time for exercise but still walks everywhere instead of taking taxis. Additionally, she eats 1,000 calories a day.

A Remarkable Transformation

After losing 83 pounds, lowfoam received many compliments on her progress. Her post garnered 286 upvotes and many supportive comments, one of which praised her for being "model level pretty." Lowfoam says she's happy with the improvements she's seen in her appearance, including a defined face.

The Secret of Her Success

Lowfoam attributes her success to a combination of eating clean for a while and living in Korea, where junky street food is tempting. As she said in one of her comments, “my secret is to eat clean for a while. And then when the urge strikes, I eat [junky street food]." She's found a balance that works for her.

An Inspiring Motto

Lowfoam shared the quote "be stubborn about your goals and flexible about your methods" in her post, a motto that exemplifies her weight loss journey. While her incredibly healthy habits were rigid at first, she found ways to incorporate her favorite foods, and she remains committed to her goal despite the challenges she's faced.
