Introduction

InnerTaunTaun's reddit post documenting her weight loss journey from 220lbs to 163lbs has received over 685 upvotes, with many users calling her transformation 'amazing.' In her post, InnerTaunTaun talks about her struggles with health problems and anxiety and how exercise helped her overcome these issues and achieve her weight loss goal.

Battling Health Problems

InnerTaunTaun's weight loss journey was not an easy one. She had to battle health problems, including blood clots in her lungs and a mono diagnosis. These health problems made it difficult for her to exercise, and it took a while for her lungs to feel well enough for any form of physical activity. This, combined with developing anxiety and panic attacks, made it even harder for InnerTaunTaun to get started on her weight loss journey.

The Start of Her Journey

InnerTaunTaun started off by going to the gym casually and swimming with her kids. She also started tracking her calories on myfitnesspal, which helped her get back on track with her eating habits. As the weight started to come off and she started eating better, InnerTauntaun gained more energy and decided to try running again. She started with the Couch to 5k program and lifted heavy weights three days a week.

Her Daily Routine

InnerTaunTaun now goes to the gym 5-6 days a week and eats around 1500-1600 calories per day. Her exercise routine includes HIIT speed workouts, 5ks, and mile runs. She also lifts heavy three days a week, which has helped improve her muscle tone. InnerTaunTaun doesn't limit herself to any specific foods but aims for healthy, whole foods and pushes to eat more protein and fat than carbs. Although InnerTaunTaun still battles anxiety and panic attacks, she works through them and still makes it to the gym.

Conclusion

InnerTaunTaun's transformation from 220lbs to 163lbs is truly inspiring, especially given the health problems and anxiety she had to battle. Her journey shows that exercise and healthy eating can help overcome even the most challenging of obstacles. For those looking to improve their own health, InnerTaunTaun's story is proof that it's never too late to start making a change.
