Introduction

ItsMehollyyy posted on Reddit sharing her weight loss journey, which inspired and motivated many people. She shared her progress of 26lbs lost in 10.5 weeks through CICO and walking 30KM a week, but emphasized that non-scale victories were essential too.

Working on Non-Scale Victories

For itsmehollyyy, the number on the scale mattered, but non-scale victories, such as losing inches off her waist, feeling better and more energetic, and fitting her clothes better, were just as important. Focusing on non-scale victories kept her motivated and helped her measure her progress beyond just numbers on the scale.

CICO and Walking

ItsMehollyyy followed the CICO (Calories In, Calories Out) method to reduce her caloric intake and create a daily deficit of 500 calories. She also walked 30KM per week, which helped her burn extra calories and improve her fitness level. Walking is a low-impact exercise that can be done anywhere, making it accessible to anyone looking to lose weight.

Motivation from Online Support

ItsMehollyyy received over 240 upvotes and many comments on her Reddit post, encouraging her to continue her weight loss journey. The support and positive feedback she received online kept her motivated, even on days when she wanted to give up. This support is essential for anyone looking to make significant lifestyle changes.

Conclusion

ItsMehollyyy's journey shows that weight loss is possible with a combination of CICO, exercise, and focusing on non-scale victories. Motivation and online support are also critical factors in achieving success. If you are looking to start your weight loss journey, remember to take it one step at a time and focus on progress, not perfection.
