Introduction

Losing weight is a journey that can be challenging but also rewarding. One Reddit user, _subjectsam_, shared their weight loss journey on the platform and inspired many others. Starting at 284 pounds, they have now lost over 100 pounds in just 12 months.

Diet and Caloric Intake

Although _subjectsam_ did not track their calories due to mental health issues, they aimed for a daily intake of 1400-1600 calories. They also cut out meat from their diet, started fasting once a week, and only drank water. Additionally, they mentioned drinking Soylent Cocoa as a meal replacement, which they enjoyed making with banana oat milk.

Exercise Routine

Inline skating was _subjectsam_'s main source of exercise, but with winter, they had to switch to indoor yoga. They admitted they had not been consistent with working out during winter. But they stayed active and did not let it discourage them from continuing their journey.

Achievements and Learnings

The Reddit post states that _subjectsam_ is only 19 pounds away from their weight loss goal. Besides reaching their goal, they also learned that sometimes eating more can be beneficial and not to be afraid of changing things up. Their journey showed that slow and steady progress is achievable and should be celebrated.

Conclusion

Weight loss journeys can be challenging, but they can also be rewarding. _subjectsam_'s experience had its ups and downs, but their progress is admirable. This story serves as an inspiration to others on their own weight loss journey to keep going and to try things out that may work for them.
