Introduction

This Reddit user, with the username 'cosmocaro', shares her impressive weight loss journey on the platform, which gained a staggering 395 upvotes. Through consistent exercise and isolated exercises, she lost 15lbs within six months, without a set goal weight in mind.

Working on the Routine

When asked about her workout routine, she shared that her routine was not super consistent, but she found doing a push/pull/leg day split was giving her the best results. Incorporating isolated exercises was a big game changer for her as well, and she would do those until failure when finishing off a set. Working out consistently with variations in the routine seems to have worked well for her journey.

No Set Goal Weight

Surprisingly, 'cosmocaro' shared that her journey did not have a set goal weight in mind. What worked for her instead was focusing on her daily habits, having a positive relationship with food/working out and only checking on her weight every couple of months. This approach helped her in avoiding discouragement and making small changes that added up.

Encouragement and Support

Reddit users who commented on her post were amazed at her progress, with some even sharing their weight loss goals as well. 'JerryzFitness' and 'Warm-Process9737' cheered her on and recommended professional trainers. Some also noticed the great results that she had achieved so far. However, 'cosmocaro' acknowledged that she did not work with any trainer and was surprised that someone was using her pictures on Instagram as a client result photo.

Conclusion

While 'cosmocaro' shared her weight loss journey on Reddit, it serves as an inspiration to people who aim to achieve their fitness goals. Not having a set goal weight in mind, working out consistently with variations in the routine, focusing on daily habits, and having a positive relationship with working out and food seem to have worked wonders for her. This simple but effective approach can be tried by anyone without a trainer to lead the way. Small changes do indeed add up, and with the right mindset and commitment, anyone can achieve their fitness goals.
