Introduction
Losing weight isn't easy, but F/24 Redditor without-mythologies did it! She celebrated her weight loss milestone of "one-derland" by posting before-and-after pictures in the ProgressPics subreddit. She lost 26lbs over 3 months, averaging a weekly loss of 2lbs. Her BMI, which stands for body mass index, dropped from 32.4 to 30.3.
The Secret of Success
Without-mythologies used a simple approach: calorie counting and exercise. She tracked her calories using MyFitnessPal, a free app that has a massive food database. By weighing and measuring her food, she knew exactly how many calories she was consuming on a daily basis. Coupled with a deficit in calories, she followed a consistent exercise schedule. She hit her goal "slowly and steadily, and the hardest part was starting out."
Before-and-After Clothing Sizes
Before losing weight, without-mythologies wore XL shirts and size 14 pants. However, she now comfortably fits into a large top and wears size 12 or 10 pants depending on the brand. Her before-and-after pictures are indeed striking!
Encouragement from Commenters
Positive feedback can be a great motivator during a weight loss journey. Redditor Badland87 congratulated without-mythologies for reaching her goal, saying that hitting the 100s is a fantastic accomplishment. Another Redditor, justseeing12, asked about her weight loss methods and before-and-after clothing sizes. Similar to without-mythologies, other commenters noted how much smaller she looked compared to her actual weight.
Conclusion
Losing weight takes time and dedication, but it's achievable with simple methods such as calorie counting and exercise. As without-mythologies' weight loss journey has shown, small daily habits such as measuring and tracking food intake can lead to a big impact. Even wearing clothes that don't quite fit can become an incentive to continue on the weight loss journey. So go ahead and try it out for yourself - you might be surprised at what you can achieve!
