Introduction

A 43-year-old woman who goes by the username thatpeskyrabbit on Reddit has shared her impressive weight loss journey. In just 7 months, she was able to lose 57lbs and is now getting close to achieving her initial goal. She attributes her success to counting calories and moderate exercise.

Her Journey

The woman follows the CICO (Calories In, Calories Out) method and did not cut out any food completely. Instead, she practiced moderation and banked her weekday calories to save for occasional indulgences on the weekends. She cut out alcohol and exercised regularly, doing an average of 10k steps a day and a 5-mile walk once a week, along with swimming, indoor rowing, and cycling. Additionally, she recently started doing hip thrusts to build up her pancake butt.

The Secret to Her Success

The key to her success was increasing her TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) with exercise, as a short female who loves cooking and food in general. Being physically active allowed her to have a decent calorie deficit while still enjoying home-cooked meals and an occasional takeaway once a month.

Positive Reactions and Hope

The Reddit post garnered 365 upvotes, and the comments were full of praise and admiration for her progress. One commenter even mentioned that the post gave them hope, as they are 44-years-old and struggling with weight loss. The woman's journey serves as a reminder that it's never too late to make positive changes.

Conclusion

The woman's weight loss journey shows that with dedication and hard work, significant changes can be achieved in a relatively short amount of time. Her story serves as an inspiration for others who are on their own weight loss journeys, and her approach of moderation and exercise is a simple yet effective strategy that anyone can incorporate into their routine.
