Prioritizing Health

HellaChunkyand7oz, a Reddit user, recently shared her staggering weight loss journey on the social media site - losing 50lbs over a period of 14 months. Often struggling with her weight, her journey started when she began prioritizing her overall health and well-being. While trying to lose weight all along, it was only when she began to focus on her health that she was able to create meaningful change.

Diet

HellaChunkyand7oz largely attributes her weight loss to getting healthy again. After experiencing symptoms related to hormonal issues, she sought out specialist care, which resulted in significant improvements in her overall health. She initially started to notice her weight loss as a result of her treatment, and subsequently downloaded calorie-tracking app, MyFitnessPal, to watch what she ate.

Exercise

In addition to making efforts to manage her diet and optimize hormonal health, HellaChunkyand7oz began incorporating exercise into her routine after she and her husband joined a gym. They started slowly, focusing on lifting weights and doing cardio regularly in the mornings. However, finding time to exercise can be tricky, and school schedules made it difficult for them to keep up their usual routine. Recently, they have decided to adopt a new approach to their routine to ensure continued success.

Goal-Setting

Ultimately, HellaChunkyand7oz's goal is to finish losing the last few pounds and put on a few more muscle pounds before she gets much older. While enjoying running and natural trails, she hopes to incorporate yoga/pilates class and try running again without getting injured.

Inspiring Others

HellaChunkyand7oz's story is a testament to what can be achieved when a person takes control of their health and prioritizes their overall wellbeing. It is inspiring to see her success and dedication to turning her life around, and it surely has impacted others who may be struggling with similar issues. For anyone trying to lose weight, it's important to prioritize overall health and well-being, and be willing to advocate for oneself and seek out help from specialists as necessary.
