The Power of Dancing and Eating Less

The weight loss journey of a determined Reddit user started after battling the negative side effects of medication that barely helped. With 8 months on meds, the user decided to take control of her body by dancing and eating less. She consistently recorded 5-7 days a week of rigorous dancing and reduced food intake. Despite being bedbound for a month due to a bad iud, the user still managed to shed off 15 lbs.

Facing Medication Side Effects

For 8 months, the user was on medication. Although it was only descriptive as 'meds,' it took a toll on her body. She started experiencing adverse side effects that negatively influenced her body's weight. However, determined to save herself from the ordeal, the user chose to quit taking her medication and pursued a healthier lifestyle.

Consistency is Key

The Reddit user's weight loss journey proves that you don't have to do it all at once.

Regardless of being bedbound for a month, the user still followed through with her routine, resulting in weight loss.

Celebrating Small Wins

Every goal achieved is a step closer to the ultimate objective of a healthy body weight. Celebrating small wins can be the motivation people need to keep going.

Trying Out New Things

Finding the right combination of sound nutrition, physical activity, and a healthy mindset is essential. This journey showcases the importance of taking control of one's body and finding a way to cope with life's challenges.
