Starting at 163 lbs, Reddit user Dota2341 takes us through her weight loss journey down to 134 lbs - a total of 29 lbs lost. Despite reaching her goal, she remains unhappy with belly fat and seeks advice. Fellow Reddit users share helpful tips and tricks to address her concerns.
Seeking Advice
One Reddit user, katismaximus, suggests weightlifting to tighten the core. Dota2341 responds that her back aches when using weights. Another user, dripdroponmytiptop, suggests posture improvement rather than assuming it is belly fat. They offer advice to stand straight and breathe from the stomach, making it a habit until it becomes unconscious. This corrects posture and helps tighten the abdominal muscles.
Progress and Exercise
Despite declaring that she did not change her eating habits or exercise to achieve her weight loss, Dota2341 plays basketball four times a week which may contribute to toning. After researching advice from the Reddit comment section, she plans to follow a core muscle exercise program found on YouTube. Wombatzilla notes that with proper lifting and core work, weight loss may not be necessary.
Ribs Showing
Skyepark raises concerns regarding Dota2341's visible ribs. Dota2341 responds that her ribs are visible even when she weighed 30 lbs more. She remains frustrated about this but is working on core strengthening exercises and improving posture.
While Dota2341 has reached her weight loss goal, her journey still continues to achieve her desired body shape. Advice from fellow Reddit users on weightlifting, posture, and strengthening the core are valuable for anyone with similar concerns. Strive towards a healthier lifestyle and remember that progress is progress, no matter how small.
