Introduction: Sticking to Goals and Celebrating Success
Reddit user Half-of-Bri made a promise to her friends to post progress pics when she reached 100 lbs lost. She kept up with her calorie-counting regimen for 16.5 months and dropped from 266 lbs to 166 lbs – not an easy feat for a 5'2'' woman. Bri’s community of supporters on Reddit cheered her on and helped her overcome discouragement with every setback.
Counting Calories with MFP: The Key to Success
Bri kept her weight loss regimen simple by using the MyFitnessPal app to count her calories. Starting with 1340 calories per day, she reduced her intake to between 1100-1200 calories per day. Bri’s success shows that easy, patient, and incremental improvements over the long haul lead to permanent weight loss.
Persisting Toward Goals and Celebrating Milestones
Bri emphasizes that patience, persistence, and a positive mindset are critical qualities when trying to lose weight. Many people lose motivation when they don’t get speedy results; 2 steps forwards and 1 step backward is still progress. Bri urges others to set achievable goals, be gentle with themselves and celebrate the milestones along the way. She admits that she slowed down for a few months but kept up with her efforts and never gave up on her goal.
Overcoming Discouragement with Support and Encouragement
The most significant benefit of sharing her story on Reddit was the support and encouragement Bri received from the community. By sharing her journey and struggles openly, Bri inspired others and built connections. Half-of-Bri's journey highlights the importance of having a support network that can understand your struggles, cheer you on, and motivate you to keep going.
Conclusion: Patience and Consistency are Key
Bri’s weight loss journey is remarkable in its simplicity – counting calories over the long haul, celebrating milestones regularly, and having a supportive community. Her experience shows that patience and consistency can lead to tangible, long-term weight loss. Everyone can achieve their fitness goals like Half-of-Bri did – with the right focus, motivation, and strategies, anyone can lose weight and enjoy better health and wellness.
