Starting Out

The user started their weight loss journey by focusing on their diet, reducing their calorie intake to lose an initial 20lbs. After that, they began incorporating exercise into their daily routine by purchasing a NordicTrack treadmill. They proceeded to use this daily for an hour, eventually working their way up to 11 miles a day. This helped them to lose an additional 50lbs in just 4 months.

Overcoming Setbacks

Unfortunately, this one also broke, but they did not let that stop them. They opted for an elliptical machine instead and continued to exercise daily, allowing them to shed an additional 15lbs in just 2 months.

This inspiring weight loss journey shows that anyone can successfully lose weight with dedication and persistence. By incorporating daily exercise routines and making it fun and engaging, the user successfully shed excess weight over a 10 month period. While NordicTrack treadmills and an elliptical machine were their tools of choice, there are many other ways to incorporate exercise into a daily routine.
