Introduction

Losing weight can be a difficult journey, but it can be made easier by tracking progress and seeking support. One Reddit user's experience illustrates the progress that can be achieved through diligence and positivity.

Starting Point

The user, whose username has since been deleted, posted in the r/loseit subreddit with the title 'I'm 35, morbidly obese and I'm going to change my life.' The post detailed the user's weight, 365 pounds, and their plan to start walking every day and cut back on unhealthy foods. The post was met with an outpouring of support and encouragement from other Reddit users.

Progress Update

The user provided an update two months later, having lost 30 pounds by sticking to their plan and making small changes to their diet. They noted that their energy levels were higher and that they were starting to enjoy exercising. Other users spoke of their own progress and offered advice for overcoming plateaus and staying motivated.

Ups and Downs

The user's posts over the following year painted a picture of a journey with its ups and downs. There were times when they struggled to maintain their progress, but they always came back to their commitment to living a healthier life. They tried new exercises, experimented with different diets, and sought advice from others in the Reddit community.

Conclusion

The user's final post, made a year after their first, reported that they had lost over 100 pounds and were continuing to make progress. They shared their gratitude for the support they had received on Reddit and encouraged others to keep going on their own weight loss journey. The post serves as a reminder that change is possible, even in the face of difficult challenges.
