The Beginning of a Journey

This Reddit post tells the inspiring story of a young woman's weight-loss journey. She started a year ago at 161 lbs and, through lifting and calorie-tracking, has lost 37 lbs, reaching her current weight of 124 lbs.

Consistency is Key

The user claims that consistency is the most important factor in her weight loss. She logged her calories at 1200-1400 daily and exercised 5 times a week for the first six months, then focused on heavy lifting and lower intensity cardio 4 times per week, and yoga 3 times per week for the next six months.

Going Plant-Based

Four months ago, this Reddit user decided to try a plant-based diet. She said it's been working well and that she's enjoying the benefits of this kind of diet.

Tracking Calories for Maintenance

The Reddit community asked whether she's still tracking calories, to which she responded yes, because her weight-loss journey is now focused on body recomp. Currently eating 1500 calories, she's now focusing more on building muscle mass than losing weight.

Encouraging Words

This Reddit user's weight loss journey has not gone unnoticed. Many people have praised her for her work, and one user even encouraged her to focus on all the positive aspects of her life rather than just her physical appearance. However, this post has inspired many people to take control of their own lives and try new things to achieve their weight-loss goals.
