Introduction
One user of Reddit has shared their inspiring weight loss journey. In just 18 months, they lost 78lbs and are now only 10lbs away from achieving a healthy BMI. They say that they haven't weighed this little since their freshman year of college.
Techniques Used
The user combined running and CICO in their weight loss journey. They admit that they hated running at first, but now they can't imagine not doing it. For CICO, they follow a vegan diet with a calorie limit of 1200, which gets a lot of mileage depending on what they eat. They eat a lot of potatoes and rice bowls with plenty of veggies. They also do occasional 48-hour fasts to give their gut a rest.
Encouragement
Everyone's weight loss journey is different, and what works for one may not work for another. However, it's encouraging to see others succeed and be motivated to try new things themselves. Losing weight is a tough journey, but it's satisfying to see progress and results over time. Anyone can achieve their weight loss goals with consistency, hard work, and determination.
The Final Stretch
The user says that the most exciting stretch of their journey is the end, where they are so close to no longer being overweight. They and another reddit user with a similar starting weight and height are now twinning on their weight loss journey, with only a few pounds away from their goal weights. They commented that it's incredible how important 20 pounds can be from when they started.
Conclusion
Losing weight takes time and patience, but it's possible with the right techniques and mindset. Running and CICO worked for this reddit user, and it might work for some, while it may not for others. The key is to find what works best for you, and don't be afraid to try something new. With determination, anyone can achieve their weight loss goals and have a better quality of life in general.
