Introduction

A 21-year-old woman shared her progress in losing 10 pounds in two weeks in a Reddit post, after getting tired of being called the 'chubby Asian'. She received lots of support and questions from the online community, some of which were addressed.

The Journey

Although losing 10 pounds in two weeks seems like a lot, she explained that most of it was water weight, and that she was feeling great. She noted that she is a mesomorph body type, which means that she is likely to put on muscle quickly, and that her ultimate goal was to reach around 120 pounds with an ideal body fat percentage of 20%.

Discussions and Debates

The comment section showed both support and caution, with some asking about her target weight, others warning about losing weight too quickly, and some asking about her methods. However, the user explained that she was eating right, sleeping enough, working with a personal trainer, and had prior experience as an athlete. The discussion sparked a debate on whether 'body type' categories are valid or not, but the user noted that it worked for her.

Support and Motivation

The post garnered 144 upvotes and received many supportive comments complimenting her progress and congratulating her on the journey. One comment even noted that she was a beautiful 21-year-old woman. Some others urged her to continue and maintain the good work, with one saying that she might be the 'Asian with abs' soon.

Conclusions

This progress post exemplifies the impact of motivation and determination on weight loss journeys. While the user highlighted her unique factors and approaches, the core principles of eating right, sleeping enough, and exercising, were paramount. It is important to remember that everyone’s journey is different and therefore the approach might also vary. It is key to find what works for an individual, and most importantly, what keeps them motivated.
