Finding Motivation

She also cut out processed foods and focused on whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats. She started going to the gym 5-6 times a week, focusing on cardio and weight lifting.

The Struggle

The Reddit user admitted that the journey was not easy. She struggled with cravings and at times felt discouraged. She credits the support of her family and friends, as well as the supportive Reddit community for keeping her motivated.

The Triumph

By the end of her 3-month journey, the Reddit user had lost 20 pounds and gained confidence and a healthier lifestyle. She shared that she was now able to enjoy the activities that she used to love and was excited about continuing her weight loss journey.
