Patiently Progressing Despite the Slow Weight Loss

Morgan, a 23-year-old weighing 297 pounds started her weight loss journey five months ago. She recently shared on reddit that she had lost 11 pounds in 5 months. Despite having lost a modest amount of weight, she looked significantly different from her earlier pictures, showing a flatter stomach, slimmer legs, and a better posture. The comments on her post often expressed both praise and criticism.

How Morgan is Losing Weight

Morgan is tracking her food intake using an app called Lose It!. She goes to the gym three times a week and attends Zumba classes for an additional two days. She uses a Fitbit to track her steps. Her food choices have changed, with the removal of soda and most types of bread from her diet. She also eats a lot of boiled eggs and leafy greens.

Criticism and Tips for Losing Weight Faster

Some comments on Morgan's post criticized her slow pace of weight loss. A commenter pointed out that she would never reach 186 pounds if she ate more than 3500 calories a day. Another commenter suggested a keto diet which has helped them lose 100 pounds in a few months. Morgan found this suggestion, as well as her interest in Keto, and subscribed to the Keto subreddit, but has not fully looked into it. She added, however, that Keto is her next step.

Some Suggestions for Trying to Lose Weight

Morgan's journey, slow as it may be, is still progress. She has been changing her lifestyle instead of going on a strict diet. She has been increasing her steps every day and adding more movement in lots of ways, for example, parking far from her workplace, and walking on her lunch breaks. She has been trying to lead a healthier life by making healthier meal choices with her husband. Morgan also made a doctor's appointment to take advice on how she can help herself lose weight.

Encouragement to Others Struggling to Lose Weight

Morgan's story shows that despite not losing weight at the same pace as others, it does not mean that one is not making progress. Every individual goes through weight loss in their way and time. Losing weight through lifestyle changes will likely be slower than other weight loss programs, but it has the potential to create long-lasting habits. By adding more activities to your day, making healthier meal choices, and regularly moving, you can lead a healthier lifestyle. It is important to remember that weight loss is a journey that takes time and commitment to oneself.
