F/22/5'3" | Overcoming Pre Diabetes with 75Lb Weight Loss Journey

Introduction

Meet the Reddit user who shared their inspiring 75lb (210lbs -135lbs) weight loss journey. After two years and six months of overcoming challenges, she managed to shed the extra weight and reach her goal. Through her transformation, she's been able to connect with a supportive community, build new habits and overcome pre-diabetes.

Community Support

Reddit's weight loss community has given the user the encouragement she needs to stay motivated. One commentator referred her to Nerd Fitness, a fitness community for nerds, that helped her find her people. The connection has given her a reliable source of workout advice, nutrition tips, and a safe place to express her progress.

Overcoming Pre-Diabetes

Before starting her weight loss journey, the user was pre-diabetic. She depended on walks to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, but as she gained more weight, the walks became more challenging. After hitting a plateau at 180lbs, she reframed her goals and began focusing on long-term sustainable changes.

75lb Weight Loss

She credits the loss of the first 30lbs to her newfound love for long walks. However, she realized that her weight could fluctuate during her walking routine, and cutting out carbs helped her eliminate blood sugar variability. To continue the weight loss journey, she then added more exercise routines and learnt about how to make healthy food choices.

Conclusion

Discovering the Reddit weight loss community was the stepping stone the user needed towards a healthy lifestyle. She learned the impact of hard work, consistency, and being accountable to herself. Her small wins, such as glowing skin, an improved smile and regained confidence, have proven that the journey is worth it. It's an inspiring transformation that can motivate others to take control of their health and try things out for themselves.
