Introduction

Losing weight can be a difficult journey. But for this Reddit user, dietpineapples, it all became easier with intermittent fasting (IF). After a year of following IF, she went from weighing 266lbs to 159lbs. Her story is one of hard work, dedication, and inspiration for others who also want to lose weight.

The Journey

For dietpineapples, her journey started with IF, a form of dieting that limits the hours of food consumption. This means she fasts for a minimum of 16 hours a day, usually 17 or 18, and only eats during an 8-hour window. With IF, she was able to lose 107lbs in just 13 months. The weight loss was not only amazing, but she also reported her joints feeling better as well, which helped improve her overall health.

Tips for Following IF

For those who want to give IF a try, dietpineapples shared her experience on what worked for her. She started with a 500 calorie deficit from her Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), which was around 1850 calories, so she tried to stay around 1350. However, she also credits her weight loss success to being patient and persistent, listening to her body and finding the eating pattern that worked best for her. But importantly, she also emphasized not to worry too much about the numbers on the scale, as long as you're feeling healthy and happy.

Inspiration for Others

With her success story, dietpineapples has inspired many Reddit users. In the post, several people praised her weight loss and also mentioned their own weight loss journey. Some who have also lost a lot of weight, such as goose_VPC who lost 104lbs, stated they couldn't stop touching their collarbones. It's amazing how weight loss can inspire so many people, and seeing others achieve their goal can motivate all of us to try to be healthier and happier.

Conclusion

Dietpineapples' journey is one that shows us anything is possible as long as we're dedicated and patient. Losing weight, especially a significant amount like 107lbs, is not an easy journey but following a simple method like IF can make it easier. The important thing is to listen to your body, find the right eating pattern that suits you, and be patient. If you're looking for a sign to start your weight loss journey, let dietpineapples be your inspiration. Start now and achieve your goal, just like she did with IF and hard work.
