Introduction: The Beginning of a Weight Loss Journey

Reddit user scubasandwich started her weight loss journey at 204lbs, feeling unhealthy and having rolls she was unhappy with. She decided to start tracking her calorie intake using My Fitness Pal, and also added weight lifting to her workouts.

The Importance of Diet and Exercise

Scubasandwich realized that the key to losing weight is not only exercise, but also diet. By tracking her calorie intake, she was able to stay within a healthy caloric limit and lose weight. However, exercise was also important in her weight loss journey as it helped her build muscle, which in turn helped her burn more calories.

The Myth of Spot Reduction

Scubasandwich received a question about how she was able to get rid of her rolls. She responded that it wasn't about targeting a specific area, but focusing on overall weight loss through diet and exercise. The myth of spot reduction, or being able to target fat loss in a specific area, is just that - a myth. The only way to lose fat is through overall weight loss.

The Importance of Tracking Progress

One of the keys to Scubasandwich's success was tracking her weight loss progress on Reddit, where she received encouragement from strangers. This helped keep her motivated to continue her weight loss journey, even when it felt difficult. Scubasandwich also took progress photos and measurements to keep track of her inches lost.

Conclusion: Encouragement to Start a Weight Loss Journey

Scubasandwich's weight loss journey is a great example of how a focus on diet, exercise, and tracking progress can lead to success. If you are considering starting your own weight loss journey, take inspiration from Scubasandwich and try incorporating these changes into your life. Remember to be patient with yourself, stay motivated, and celebrate your progress along the way!
