Introduction

Losing weight can be a long and difficult journey, but it’s an admirable goal. A user on Reddit, u/lhiggins1993, shared her story of how she lost 18 pounds over the course of two years. Her story is one of patience, persistence, and hard work.

Gradual progress

U/lhiggins1993’s weight loss journey wasn’t a rapid process. She had peak periods of exercise, as well as slower periods of less activity. She found that this approach helped her metabolism and ultimately led to a better rate of success. Gradual progress is a key concept in losing weight; it’s important to let your body get in (and stay in) better shape over time.

Healthy habits

In addition to exercise, u/lhiggins1993 maintained a relatively healthy diet. She tried to avoid junk food and reduce her meal sizes. Green tea was also a significant part of her routine- it’s possible that this drink helped her maintain her weight. However, there is no scientific evidence that green tea actually promotes weight loss.

Moderation

One piece of u/lhiggins1993’s advice was to take everything in moderation. She didn't completely eliminate any particular food group or item, including carbs or dairy. This level-headed approach allowed her to maintain a realistic diet, instead of struggling with hunger or cravings.

Conclusion

Losing weight can be a tough journey, but it’s rewarding in the end. Everyone’s journey is different, but finding the right approach for you is essential. Try out different diets, exercise routines, and habits; hopefully, you’ll discover what works for you. Gradual progress, healthy habits, and moderation are all valuable components of a successful weight loss journey.
