Introduction

When Reddit user 1000korpses shared her impressive 90lb weight loss over a period of 2 years, it went viral. Her story has inspired many people out there, struggling with the same challenge.

How She Did It

1000korpses cut out soda, sugary drinks, and regulated her diet to a food journal that kept track of her calorie intake. She stopped eating immediately after work, as she was on night shifts, and went immediately to bed after. Incorporating light exercises made her see visible changes even though she smoked.

Effects of Less Sugar

1000korpses stopped consuming sugar and saw changes in her skin and hair. She also found it easier to sleep, something she struggled with earlier.

Non-Scale Victories

1000korpses went from a US 18/20 in pants and XXL in shirts to sizes~8/10 in pants and a L in shirts, and can even comfortably wear junior sizes. Though she has loose skin in her stomach area and less confidence, she's glad she doesn’t have to fight the discrimination that comes with weight.

Conclusion

1000korpses's weight loss journey shows that small changes count, and even light exercise brings in visible results. One of the lessons we get is focusing on progress, not solely on the scale numbers, and persevering even when the journey gets rough.
