Introduction

One Reddit user, Gods-of-War, shared her weight loss journey with the world. With a starting weight of 172lbs, she managed to lose 12.8lbs and is now hovering around 159.2lbs. Gods-of-War shared that she had been more active for three months before she started taking progress pictures.

Healthy Weight Loss Takes Time

Gods-of-War’s weight loss journey took around seven months. This goes to show that healthy weight loss is gradual and takes time. It’s essential to keep steady progress and maintain a daily regimen that’s sustainable in the long run.

The Benefits of Physical Activity

Gods-of-War started becoming more active and saw the benefits of physical activity in her weight loss journey. It’s always been said that physical activity is vital to maintaining a healthy body. But beyond weight loss, physical activity has mental health benefits as well. Exercising releases endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce stress levels.

Muscle Gain and Loving One’s Body

Gods-of-War reports that as her body got more muscular, she stopped caring much about what the scale said but still weighed herself for record-keeping. She also notes that she started loving her body for everything it could do as she shed pounds. This goes to show that weight loss isn't an end in itself; it's essential to love one’s body throughout the process.

In Conclusion

Gods-of-War’s weight loss journey may have been unique to her, but the underlying principles are universal. Sustainable weight loss takes time, effort, and an overall healthy lifestyle. With time, you can achieve a body that you love and one that’s healthy. Finally, Gods-of-War reminds us that maintaining records of one's weight loss journey can allow us to keep track of progress and stay motivated.
