Starting from Being Out of Shape

The user, elizamadeleine, started her journey being out of shape, barely having the strength to walk up a flight of stairs. Her starting weight was 200lbs, and she managed to lose 36lbs in time. She did this through taking baby steps and being kind to herself.

The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting was elizamadeleine's first step. This allowed her to eat a specific amount of food in a specific amount of time, improved her metabolic rate, and gave her better control of her food cravings. As she became more comfortable with intermittent fasting, she slowly introduced counting calories, to ensure she was within the limits of her caloric intake.

Adding Workouts to the Mix

After feeling confident in her progress with the first two steps, elizamadeleine added workouts to her routine, starting with basic exercises at home and then moving on to more challenging ones. Her workouts were complemented by her progress in intermittent fasting and counting calories. These three steps helped her maintain a negative caloric balance, allowing her to lose weight.

The Final Result: Losing Weight and Improving Confidence

Through following these steps, elizamadeleine managed to lose 36lbs and improved her confidence. She was proud of herself and felt happier in her skin. Although she felt more comfortable with the way she looked, she continued being active and not stressing too much about her food intake.

Encouragement for Other Weight Loss Seekers

Elizamadeleine encourages others in their weight loss journey to be kind to themselves, take baby steps, and not do everything at once. She emphasizes there is no single way to be healthier and what works for one person may not work for another. She also shares the importance of being active, as it helps maintain a negative caloric balance, leading to weight loss.
