F/32/5'1" [239 > 182] = 57 lbs lost. Never thought 57lbs is this much of weight gone, 43lbs (19.5kg) to go! Not quite a good comparison but I should be proud of making this far, not just self-criticise!

Achieving Success with Intermittent Fasting

Reddit user imlps recently shared their weight loss progress, having lost 57 pounds (approx. 26kg). The 32-year-old woman stands at 5'1" and had started at 239 pounds. Now tipping the scales at 182 pounds, she still has another 43 pounds (approx. 19.5kg) to go. However, she shares in her post that she has learned to be proud of what she has achieved so far instead of self-criticising. It has taken the user 11 months of hard work, dedication, and consistency on their part.

Precautions in Sharing Stories

One interesting takeaway from the comment thread is the user's reason for putting the 'watermark' on their progress photos. She explains how it's a precautionary measure to protect their photos from being taken by weight loss product endorsers. She shares that there have been unfortunate instances where people have falsely claimed others' weight loss photos as evidence of the effectiveness of their products.

Positive Reinforcements from the Community

The post has so far received 157 upvotes and several positive comments. One user, Tini_92, who has also experienced weight loss through intermittent fasting, encouraged the user to keep pushing forward. Others, like thewallisred, praised her shirt and complimented her progress.

Celebrating Slow Progress

Although the user still has a long way to go, she shared how she has learned to celebrate small wins along the way. Losing 57 pounds is no small feat, and acknowledging and appreciating one's progress is a critical component in maintaining the motivation to keep going. The user puts emphasis on the positive effects of consistency, discipline, and patience, even during slow progress.

Trying Out Intermittent Fasting

The user's progress is a testament to the effectiveness of intermittent fasting when applied consistently and patiently. While weight loss progress may vary depending on factors such as one's starting point, body type, and lifestyle, trying out intermittent fasting can be an excellent option for those looking for a sustainable method to lose weight. In addition to providing weight loss benefits, IF also potentially offers other benefits, such as reduced inflammation and improved metabolism.
