F/21/5'4" Weight Loss Journey: 199 to 152 Lbs in 3 Years

Introduction

Losing weight can be a long and challenging process, especially with busy schedules that make it difficult to find time for physical activities. This is the weight journey of a Reddit user who underwent a significant transformation, losing 47lbs in the span of 3 years.

Progress

The user started at a weight of 199 lbs and managed to lose most of the weight in the first year. However, as time progressed, they went back to their old habits and saw little change. In the last 8 months, the user decided to kick-start their weight loss journey with a focus on diet and more physical activity. By counting calories, tracking their TDEE(BMR), and getting more activity in their life, their daily walk helped to boost their weight loss journey. Recently, the user started a workout-split routine with a focus on counting calories and has seen an additional boost in their progress.

Muscle Definition

The user notes that in their last three years, they have been on-and-off in the gym with little structure, just going in and doing whatever they felt like. This may have been a factor in why they have some muscle definition despite losing significant amounts of weight. Additionally, the user follows a diet with a higher protein intake to encourage further muscle development.

Encouragement

This weight journey shows that progress takes time and effort; there are no shortcuts. Counting calories, tracking TDEE(BMR), and engaging in physical activities that use up calories can be helpful in maintaining or losing weight. Body transformation takes patience, dedication, structure, and a proper diet to see changes. The user's journey encourages us to try things out on our own, such as walking or engaging in physical activities we enjoy, like sports, and tracking our progress.

Conclusion

This Reddit user's weight loss progress is a testament to the fact that setting and achieving goals can take time. As this user shows, tracking your calories and tracking your intake, a daily walk, and a focus on the right nutrition can greatly increase the chances of reaching your ideal weight. With patience and determination, anyone can transform their body with small changes that lead to significant results.
