Introduction

Reddit user laurenfischels shares her 12-month weight journey, which includes a combination of daily workouts and running. She discusses her motivations, challenges, and the habits she formed along the way.

Starting Point

Lauren began her journey at 110 pounds, and her goal was not to lose weight but to build endurance and confidence. She started with 15-minute daily elliptical workouts and gradually increased the intensity and time until it became easy. She then moved to running and walking intervals outside and at her apartment gym.

Motivation and Consistency

Lauren's biggest motivator for consistent workouts was sharing her Apple Watch activity with a mentor at work who was already a runner. The accountability piece and closing her rings was crucial. She also signed up for a relay marathon with her co-workers, which gave her an added incentive to train. Lauren leaned into the 'discomfort creates comfort' mentality and persevered until the workouts became a habit.

Results and Reflections

Lauren's 12-month journey took her from being sedentary to casually running 3 miles as a daily workout. She notes that it wasn't always easy, and there were days when she didn't feel like working out. However, she kept going until it became the norm. Lauren's story serves as a reminder that anyone can achieve their fitness goals with determination and consistency.

Conclusion

Lauren's weight journey is a testament to the power of consistent workouts and gradual increases in intensity. By sharing her experience, she hopes to inspire others to try things out for themselves and discover what works best for their bodies and lifestyles.
