Introduction

Losing weight and getting back into shape is a life-changing experience. An inspiring example of this process can be found in a Reddit user's journey of going from 186lbs to 157lbs.

The Beginning

At just 16 months post-partum, the Reddit user, disneyobsessed007, started her weight loss journey with CICO but soon found the constant feeling of restriction to be annoying. She then shifted to OMAD (One Meal a Day) and lost around 15lbs. However, she was still eager to lose weight and decided to try an alternative approach: fasting.

Fasting: New Approach to Weight Loss

Disneyobsessed007 began rolling 48hr fasts, with one 24hr fast per week, along with a diet of eating dinner only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. She found fasting super easy and almost felt like cheating. The weight came off consistently, and she was more than pleased. She is nearly at the weight she was at the end of high school which is a significant win for her.

Advice for Others

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to weight loss, but it is all about finding the right approach that works for you. In her journey, Disneyobsessed007 found her ground with fasting. However, this may not work for everyone, and some individuals may need to try different approaches before finding the right plan.

Conclusion

Disneyobsessed007's story serves as an inspiration for anyone who wishes to shed extra pounds and achieve their desired body shape. Her journey highlights how with the right approach and determination, weight loss is achievable. Remember to adopt a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and enough exercise for long-term impact.
