F/18/5'5 [165>135= 30Lbs] (4 Months) Happy with Progress in Stomach, Legs, and Bum Area

Introduction

Bananerr, a Reddit user, shares her progress towards losing 30 pounds in four months posing various photos of herself. The post counts with 402 upvotes and multiple supportive comments. Users congratulated her on her weight loss progress and, particularly, on her stomach, legs, and bum.

Approach

Bananerr adopted a diet of 1,200 calories a day, mostly restricting herself to whatever fits within her calorie goal. She then incorporated cardio workouts and slowly transitioned to lifting weights and tracking macros when she reached her goal weight. During the process, keeping track of her food intake and planning her meals was the hardest part. She became too conscious of what she was eating and had set her mind to achieve her goals.

New Routine

After reaching the desired weight, Bananerr went back to her maintenance calorie requirements and started using intermittent fasting (IF). She began doing HIIT training and resistance band training following Kayla Itsines' Bikini Body Guides. She still did cardio but added yoga and stair-climbing exercises.

Motivation

Bananerr's progress has motivated people to ask for advice and congratulate her. One of the users wanted to know how to transition from a strictly running routine to incorporating weights. Bananerr suggested starting with small weights and working upwards gradually. Consistency was the key for her, and it helped in avoiding slipping up and giving up altogether.

Conclusion

Bananerr's progress towards a healthier lifestyle was achievable through dedication and persistence in reaching her goals. Her journey has motivated others to seek their aspirations seriously. It is a reminder that weight loss should not be about being perfect but instead about getting to know and understand our bodies while taking control of their health.
