30Lbs Down in 4 Months: a Weight Loss Journey Through Calorie Counting and C25K

Introduction

Reddit user jillycheesesteak shared their weight loss journey through a comparison picture, starting at 185lbs to currently 155lbs, aiming for a 125lbs goal. The user has been losing weight through intense dedication to calorie counting and implementing the C25K program (or Couch to 5K).

Struggles with weight loss and self-image

Jillycheesesteak shares how she struggled to lose weight, going from a good BMI to a difficult pregnancy, and failing to lose the weight after birth that everyone claimed would fall right off. The weight loss was slow, with only 4lbs, to 5lbs weight loss every now and then, until the user finally gave up and dedicated themselves to a plan.

The Solution: Calorie Counting and C25K

The user implemented a 1200 calorie per day diet and started training with C25K. The intense dedication was worth it as Jillycheesesteak has already lost 30lbs since and is feeling much better, both emotionally and physically. C25K proved to be an incredibly effective program that provided significant progress in running without fail.

Conclusion

Jillycheesesteak is still not at their goal of 125lbs, but is halfway there and believes it is achievable as they already lost 30lbs once. Participating in intense training might seem impossible during the first week, but with persistence and dedication, the loss of weight can be worth it. Anyone can try the same techniques and experience the positive mental and physical changes that come along with it.
