Transformation Story

Starting at 300lbs, the Reddit user has undergone a remarkable journey to reach a weight of 162lbs - from obese to overweight.

Tips on Coping Mechanisms and Breaking Through Plateaus

Weight loss plateaus can be frustrating and often lead to losing motivation. The user recommends changing things up, such as eating habits, exercise routines, stress management, to get through the plateau. Many times you can use the plateau as a time to recover from a calorie deficit and maintain your weight before restarting weight loss. Coping mechanisms such as taking walks and staying busy to distract yourself from thinking about food were also helpful for the user. It is recommended to try different activities until you find the ones that work best for you.
