Introduction
For one Reddit user, weight loss has been a long and winding journey. Over the course of seven years, this person lost 50lbs through trial and error, ultimately finding success with CICO, or calories in, calories out.
Ups and Downs
Like many people struggling with their weight, this user experienced dramatic fluctuations over the years. At 16 years old, they weighed 230lbs, but two years later had dropped to a mere 155lbs. Eventually, they settled at 180lbs, but still felt uncomfortable in their own skin.
Making Progress
Determined to finally feel good about themselves, this Reddit user opted to focus on exercise and adopted a workable routine. They successfully lost 50lbs using CICO, and are still working to tone problematic areas like the hips and chest.
Addressing Issues
Interestingly, the Reddit user believes their chest fat may be caused by gynecomastia, a condition that causes enlarged breast tissue in males. Many people with this condition opt for surgery, but it is truly up to personal preference.
Takeaway
Ultimately, this Reddit user's journey demonstrates that weight loss is a process with many ups and downs. Finding what works for you, whether it's CICO or another method, can take time and patience. So keep at it, and don't be afraid to ask for help or guidance as needed.
