Introduction

Meet Reddit user 'fatbit': a 36-year-old woman who, at 5'2", weighed 158lbs at her heaviest. Fed up with feeling uncomfortable in her own body, she decided to take matters into her own hands, starting with her diet.

The Diet

For 'fatbit,' it all started with the keto diet. By cutting out carbs and sugar, she was able to jump-start her weight loss journey, losing 25lbs in just over 3 months. However, she quickly found that such a restrictive diet was unsustainable, and so she moved on to calorie counting, which allowed her to eat a wider variety of foods while still maintaining a deficit.

The Exercise

Alongside her diet, 'fatbit' also started exercising regularly. Starting out with simple bodyweight exercises and light weightlifting, she quickly progressed to heavier lifting, setting impressive personal bests in squatting and deadlifting. This combination of cardio and strength training allowed her to burn fat and build lean muscle mass.

The Results

After 10 months of hard work and dedication, 'fatbit' now weighs a healthy 128lbs. She is in better shape than she has ever been in her life, with improved strength, endurance, and confidence. It hasn't always been easy, but she's managed to stay motivated by tracking her progress and celebrating small victories along the way.

Conclusion

If there's one thing we can learn from 'fatbit''s story, it's that weight loss is possible with the right combination of diet and exercise. Experiment with different approaches until you find what works for you, and remember that progress takes time. Stay motivated, and celebrate every milestone along the way. It's worth it!
