Introduction

Wrapyourfruit, a female Reddit user, has shared her weight loss journey on the platform. She started at 228lbs and lost 16.5lbs in three months, with her most recent weight clocking in at 211.4lbs. Beyond the scale, she received compliments on her 'massive face gains.'

CICO as a Method

Wrapyourfruit achieved her weight loss by committing to a budget of 1200 calories per day with an addition of 30-60 minutes of daily walks. This technique is called calorie counting or CICO – Calories In, Calories Out. Her tactic was a combination of eating less and moving more, which helped her achieve sustainable weight loss.

Brisk Walks and Weight Loss

The addition of daily brisk walks can make a significant impact on long-term weight loss goals. According to the American Council on Exercise, walking can help burn between 360-460 calories per hour depending on your speed and weight. Additionally, daily brisk walking may boost your metabolism, improve your mood, and heart health.

Motivation and Support

Wrapyourfruit credited her motivation to watch the scale decrease and the progress in her pictures, combined with getting support from the platform. Having people to share her journey with kept her motivated towards her goal. Reddit has many subreddits dedicated to weight loss where users can share their journeys, ask for advice, and provide support to others.

Conclusion

Weight loss is a journey and requires dedication, commitment, and a sustainable mindset. As Wrapyourfruit has shown, CICO and daily brisk walks can help achieve long-term goals with significant progress visible in a short span. However, remember that everyone's body is different, and it is essential to find a routine that works for you. Make the journey fun and exciting with support from friends, family, or online communities.
