Introduction
Nerine_ENFP, a 28-year-old woman from Reddit, successfully lost 90lbs in 1.5 years through Counting Calories In and Out (CICO). However, she was still self-conscious about her 'wings,' a term she used to refer to the loose skin on her arms.
Reducing Loose Skin
TehFuriousOne, a fellow Redditor, offered Nerine_ENFP advice on reducing the appearance of her 'wings.' They recommended doing exercises that target the lats and offered exercises like lat pull downs and pull-ups. LuckyBahstard further emphasized the effectiveness of rows in this regard.
Weightlifting Journey
Nerine_ENFP also sought advice on starting a weightlifting journey. Research_Repulsive suggested that she enjoys the journey itself, instead of fixating on results. They also encouraged her to keep going and try to improve slowly. Fluffyblankies advised her to focus on protein intake, with at least 100g per day. This will help in recovery and building muscles without necessarily making her giant.
Conclusion
Nerine_ENFP is an inspiration to anyone who wants to achieve their weight loss objectives. Her journey shows that simple diet and lifestyle changes can have remarkable results, both physically and mentally. While her 'wings' are still a concern, Nerine_ENFP is determined to embrace her body and improve her health through weightlifting. Her resilience and dedication are an encouragement to all to try new things and enjoy the journey.
