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

She also walked 30KM per week, which helped her burn extra calories and improve her fitness level.

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.
