Regular Exercise
Missm11's weight loss journey wasn't only about food. She also committed to regular gym workouts, a few times per week. No matter how busy or drained she felt, working up a sweat and lifting weights as per her regime brought about the positive change she was seeking. And her post has inspired others to follow suit, with several commenters sharing their own progress with gym and exercise habit building.
