F/24/5’11” [348 > 218 = 130 lbs] (19 months) This morning I accidentally looked in the mirror at a side angle in a new t-shirt… and didn’t hate it 👀 Continuing to prove to myself that CICO, weights, and patience is the combo that works for me!

Introduction

Reddit is an avenue for people to share their experiences, especially weight loss journeys. A Reddit user named ChisledCow shared their progress after 19 months of following the combination of CICO, weights, and patience.

The Journey

After more than a year, ChisledCow lost an impressive 130 lbs, from 348 lbs to 218 lbs. ChisledCow shared how they no longer hate seeing themselves in new clothes and even accidentally saw a side view of themselves in a t-shirt and liked it.

The CICO Effect

ChisledCow attributed the weight loss progress to CICO or Calories In, Calories Out, a formula for weight loss that creates a calorie deficit daily. The user mentioned that they logged their food intake and saw the progress from there.

Weights for Better Results

ChisledCow also added weight lifting to their routine aside from CICO to tone the muscles and for overall better results. The user shared how they went to the gym consistently, and it made a difference.

Patience is Key

Last but not least, patience is necessary. It took ChisledCow 19 months to reach their current progress, but they continued to trust the process. The user shared how it took some time before they could appreciate their progress, but now they are proud of it.
