Introduction
The Reddit user gettingfit92 embarked on a weight loss journey after recognizing her lack of self-discipline and poor diet after college. Through the help of a personal trainer, weightlifting, and calorie counting, she lost 19lbs over six months.
Slow and Steady Progress
Although the weight loss progress might be considered slow, gettingfit92's body fat percentage decreased due to the increased muscle gain resulting from weightlifting. Her diet changes were also not an overnight switch, but she decided to cut out high-calorie beverages and incorporate more fruits and veggies.
Exercise Routine
Gettingfit92 makes it a point to work out every day, with a combination of cardio and weightlifting exercises. She also incorporates running occasionally, despite having three slipped discs and bone spurs. She is noticing significant improvements in endurance and muscle definition thanks to this routine.
Motivational Tales
The transformation might not be drastic, but gettingfit92's progress shows the significance of discipline and consistency in weight loss success. The transformation is more about building healthy habits and making sustainable lifestyle changes than about losing a specific amount of weight by a particular deadline.
Conclusion
Gettingfit92's journey indicates the importance of finding what exercise routine and dietary habits work for one's unique lifestyle and body type. As everyone's journey is different, it is essential to focus on the journey's process rather than the destination and to adjust accordingly.
