Introduction
A Reddit user going by the name of loseitlikeme recently shared her impressive weight loss journey, with an emphasis on changes in the last 10 weeks.
Diet Strategy
Loseitlikeme shared that she has been using the My Fitness Pal (MFP) app to track calories, but otherwise does not pay much attention to macros. On a tight student budget, this works well for her. Her advice to others is to try to find healthy choices that you enjoy, rather than forcing yourself to eat things you don't like. She also recommends using smaller plates and bowls to control portions.
Exercise Routine
Loseitlikeme works out 5 times a week, including cardio and resistance training. Interestingly, she observed that her weight loss slowed down when she started exercising, but her measurements continued to change. She has found motivation by listening to music that makes her feel good and trying to squeeze in workouts whenever possible, even if that means just 20 minutes a day.
Results
Loseitlikeme has lost 30 pounds in total, 10 of which have come off in the last 10 weeks. She shared before-and-after photos that show an impressive change in her waistline. She expressed pride in her progress and encouraged others to try various strategies to see what works best for them.
Conclusion
Loseitlikeme's weight loss journey serves as an inspiration to those who are struggling with their weight. Her story shows that small, sustainable changes can lead to significant improvements over time. By finding enjoyable activities and healthy foods, anyone can adopt healthy habits that last a lifetime.
