The Continued Journey and Weight Loss

The Reddit user's dedication paid off, as she was able to lose 136lbs and counting. However, she is still working towards her goal weight, which she hopes to achieve soon. She has changed her lifestyle for the better, incorporating exercise and healthy eating habits into her daily routine.

The Importance of Seeking Medical Help

While the Reddit user was able to reverse her insulin resistance and lose weight through diet and lifestyle changes, it is important to note that she was also diagnosed with estrogen dominance by a medical professional. Seeking medical help and guidance can be an important part of any weight loss journey.
