Introduction
Snugglehistory, as she is known on Reddit, shared her phenomenal weight loss journey. The title of her post is F/24/5'6" [277>190=87lbs down] (18 months) I haven't felt this confident in a bathing suit in FOREVER! Her post was awarded 232 upvotes and 19 comments.
Her Story
In the beginning, she visited the gym for a few hours daily and watched her diet casually without counting calories. In April of 2013, she began counting her calories religiously, averaging 1550 kcal/day, and started lifting weights. She made sure that everything she ate fit within her calorie goal while adding diet soda and other foods.
Comments
Her post was overwhelmingly positive, as people congratulated her for the fantastic job she did. She got lots of compliments on her confidence, beauty, and body shape. Her friends were amazed at how much she transformed herself, and they felt proud of her success. Snugglehistory says she still has an issue with obsessing about the scale, but she reminds herself not to focus on numbers.
BMIs Inaccuracies
Many people commented on how she still looked overweight according to the Body Mass Index because it measures body composition inaccurately. Her current weight of 190 pounds still classifies as 'obese' by many standards, but the number on the scale does not illustrate her fantastic progress.
Inspiration
This weight loss journey serves as inspiration for anyone on the same path. Snugglehistory achieves success by simple changes to her lifestyle, free of any expensive diets, or crazy exercise routines. Her journey reminds us that counting calories, time at the gym, and small lifestyle changes, like drinking diet soda or walking, can significantly move your weight loss goals forward!
