F/25/5’8” [226lbs > 155lbs = 71lbs] Posted here before a while ago but have continued losing weight and thought I’d post an update. Started my journey in January this year, definitely the best decision I’ve made in 2021. 😊

Introduction

Weight loss journeys can be very daunting, especially when it involves major lifestyle changes. A 25-year-old woman on Reddit, going by the username 'turnsoutimawhinybish', shares her 71lbs weight loss journey. Her post has received over 1000 upvotes and several comments praising her progress.

Her Diet

The woman started her journey in January 2021 and followed the 'calories in versus calories out' (CICO) method. She initially ate around 1200kcal per day and maintained a deficit of 1000kcal. After a few months, she stopped calorie counting and ate more intuitively. Her diet included mostly whole foods and she avoided high-calorie treats.

Her Exercise Routine

In the beginning, she mostly focused on maintaining a calorie deficit through diet. However, after four months, she started doing Pilates and yoga to improve her strength and flexibility. She found Pilates to be particularly enjoyable and stuck with it. She also took her dog for daily walks.

Overcoming Fears of Loose Skin

The woman was initially worried about loose skin, but she soon found that the amount of loose skin was minimal. She attributes this to her young age and relatively short time frame for weight loss. She suggests that anyone worried about loose skin should not let it prevent them from trying to lose weight as it's a small price to pay for better health and overall wellbeing.

Conclusion

This young woman's journey shows that with determination and consistency, anyone can achieve their weight loss goals. Her insights into diet, exercise and dealing with loose skin can be helpful to anyone embarking on a weight loss journey. The key is to start small, find what works for them, and stick with it. Most importantly, they shouldn't let their fears hold them back.
