Introduction

When one woman, known as ChKelly on Reddit, transformed her body and lost 89 pounds in just 17 months, she couldn't resist sharing her progress with the world. On Reddit's LoseIt community, she posted before-and-after photos showcasing her remarkable transformation, indicating that she had gone from a size 18 to a size 2. She also linked to her past LoseIt post, which explained her weight loss journey and the advice she'd give to others.

Exercising with Big Breasts

Another Reddit user named corruptcake expressed concerns about how big breasts would affect losing weight. ChKelly shared her experience, noting that they did not make things more challenging. She recommended getting a good sports bra to help prevent discomfort while exercising. Additionally, she advised that losing fat in breasts was difficult and they would be the last part of the body to lose weight.

Results beyond the scale

ChKelly's journey not only changed her physical appearance but also transformed her life. She stated that the sense of accomplishment in reaching her goal and improved self-esteem were some of the best results of the journey. Health-wise, ChKelly shared that she now has significantly lower blood pressure and an improved relationship with food. She credits logging her meals with helping her understand her eating habits better.

Sticking to a healthy lifestyle

In her past LoseIt post, ChKelly emphasized that sticking to a healthy lifestyle was critical to achieving weight loss. For example, she spent a lot of time finding healthy foods that she enjoyed, which helped her to avoid feeling deprived. She also learned how to make healthier meals herself, and cut down on sugar and processed foods. While portion control was essential, ChKelly also emphasized that it was okay to indulge occasionally.

A journey and a reminder

ChKelly's journey is not only inspiring but also offers valuable lessons to anyone committed to losing weight. Her emphasis on educating oneself on healthier foods, finding exercise that one enjoys, and sticking to a healthy lifestyle offer pointers for anyone looking to achieve their weight loss goals. While everyone's weight loss journey is unique, her journey is a reminder that it's possible to achieve incredible results with hard work and dedication.
