Introduction

We all love a good weight loss story, and this one from a Reddit user called mint_tea_ is no exception. The user lost 25 lbs in 7 months and maintains her weight with just a few simple habits.

The Journey

Mint_tea_ attributes her success to the MyFitnessPal app that she used for calorie counting. In the first three months, she was strict with her diet, capping her calorie intake at 1200 calories per day, six days a week. During and after the holidays, she relaxed a bit, consuming anywhere between 1600-2000 calories per day. At the end of February, she refocused and started logging at a steady 1300-1500 calories per day. It was calorie counting combined with time that helped her lose the weight.

The Habits

Mint_tea_ was gifted with a Fitbit, which helped in tracking her steps. She also started a job that required her to walk around frequently, and she commuted to and from work on foot, covering approximately 3-4 miles per day. She describes her daily routine as habitual, like brushing her teeth. Habits are a great way to make lifestyle changes easier.

The Feedback

Mint_tea_'s post garnered over 300 upvotes with many people congratulating her on her achievement. Some users went on to ask her for tips, which she obligingly gave. One user even pointed out a posture issue that could help accelerate her transformation.

Conclusion

In conclusion, calorie counting coupled with time, habits, a bit of walking, and a Fitbit helped Mint_tea_ to achieve her desired weight loss goal. If you're looking to shed some pounds, maybe it's time you try some of these habits too. Remember, consistency is crucial when it comes to weight loss.
