Introduction
Losing weight is an arduous journey, and this Reddit post proves it. A user called aeb1022 shared her weight loss journey that took her 2 years to lose 30 pounds. The post received many comments, and some people asked about her diet and exercise routines while others congratulated her on her success.
Diet Modification
When she started her journey, the primary change that helped her lose weight was calorie counting using the LoseIt app. She realized how much food she used to eat, which helped her understand her eating habits better. However, as she lost weight and became smaller, it's harder to feel full eating at a deficit. Hence, exercise became her ally.
Exercise Routine
She started by running and completed several 5k races but later realized that she wanted to make progress in building muscle, so she joined the NROLFW lifting program. She claimed that exercise helped her because, even at rest, muscle burns more calories than fat.
Support System
The author mentioned that having a support system throughout her journey was instrumental in her success. Her partner joined her in the fitness journey, and they got engaged along the way. She also focused on being healthy instead of just losing weight because she wanted to be the healthiest and best version of herself for her new family.
Conclusion
This Reddit post highlights that there's no shortcut to losing weight. It takes time, effort, and persistence. The author shows that slow and steady progress is much better than trying to lose weight overnight. She also proves that having someone to support you on the journey can make a massive difference in achieving your goals. Anyone looking to lose weight should draw inspiration from her journey and start making changes in their lifestyle.
