Introduction

Losing weight takes a lot of hard work and dedication, but it is a journey that is well worth it. One Reddit user, going by the username ceefitz, shared her weight loss journey with others, and it has inspired many. Over the course of a year, she went from weighing 210 pounds to 140 pounds – a total of 70 pounds lost – and her story is full of valuable insights that anyone can learn from.

Exercise and Diet

Ceefitz revealed that her weight loss strategy involved both exercise and a healthy diet. She ran and did Jillian Michael's workouts five times per week, which were challenging but kept things interesting. Eating a healthy diet was the most difficult aspect for her, but she made gradual changes over time. She increased her intake of fruits and vegetables, reduced her junk food consumption, and limited desserts to twice a week. She also had bread once a day, preferring the whole wheat variety.

Calorie Counting

Although she didn't cut anything out of her diet drastically, ceefitz did count her calories. She adjusted her intake depending on whether she had exercised that day, consuming between 1,300 and 1,600 calories. Keep in mind that everyone's caloric needs are unique and dependent on various factors like age, gender, height, weight and activity level.

Tips for others

When asked by another Reddit user what advice she had for someone starting their weight loss journey, Ceefitz had some great suggestions. She believes everyone has to come up with their own solution since what worked for her might not work for everyone else. She suggests people start with small changes rather than anything drastic. Another effective weight loss tip she shared is to use a food scale, so you're aware of the quantity and calorie content of your food.

Conclusion

Ceefitz's weight loss journey is a testament to the fact that hard work and determination can help you achieve your fitness goals. Anyone can achieve weight loss success if they approach it with the right attitude and strategies. So, if you're looking to start on this journey, take inspiration from her story and remember to be patient with yourself. Stay consistent, don't give up and you will achieve the results you desire.
