Overcoming Habits

The journey to lose weight is a long and difficult one, but it can be accomplished. The user started by being serious about their health and started eating fewer calories and cutting back on junk food. These were major habits that they had to change in order to lose weight.

Starting to Run

In March, the user began running, part of their aim to be able to run a half marathon. They set a long-term goal of being between 140 and 150 pounds. They have been slowly losing weight so they can learn skills for maintaining the loss longer. Additionally, they would add different forms of exercise each few months, like the 100 pushup challenge or having fits of pilates to their routine.

The Weight Progress

The user's progress was measured every few months, picking a dress to take before and after shots in. A year later, they lost over 35lbs and are half-way to their goal. The weight loss journey is not all about cutting fats and counting calories; It is about creating a plan that works for the individual.

Begin Your Journey Today!

The user encourages all those interested in losing weight to start today. By being steadfast, slowly changing up routines and developing healthy habits, one can achieve their desired goal. Starting small with walking, then adding in running, even just a little at a time can set anyone on the path to success they desire.

Conclusion

In the end, the user has lost a good proportion of weight and looks forward to continuing their journey. Being consistent with healthy habits, fitness, and weighing in can slowly lead to achieving annual and long term weight loss goals. While it may seem daunting, a little effort every day can really make a huge difference in the long run.
