Weight loss and fitness are two significant aspects that people often struggle with, but with steady determination, anyone can achieve a transformation. One Reddit user's inspiring weight journey is a testament to this.
Start: Cardio for 48 pounds weight loss

New strategy: Weights for leaner and stronger body
The weight gain taught her that weight loss goals alone shouldn't define the body transformation journey. Therefore, she added weights to her workout routine and now looks smaller but weighs more. This step not only helped her to burn fat but also toned her muscles and made her stronger.
