Introduction

Losing weight can be a long and arduous journey, but it's definitely worth the effort when you see the results. A Reddit user, who has since deleted their account, posted a progress photo of their impressive 70-pound weight loss over the course of 14 months. Here's how they did it.

Practical Lifestyle Changes

The anonymous poster explained that they didn't follow any special diet or workout program. Instead, they made small changes to their daily habits. They swapped out sugary drinks for water and cut down on fast food meals. They also made an effort to walk more, even if that meant taking the stairs or walking the dog for an extra 10 minutes.

Consistency is Key

One of the most important factors in the poster's success was consistency. They stuck to their new lifestyle habits every day, even when it was tough. They also didn't beat themselves up for occasional slip-ups. Instead, they simply got back on track the next day.

Support System

The poster mentioned having a supportive partner who encouraged them and celebrated their victories. They also found motivation from browsing weight loss subreddits and seeing other people's progress photos.

Takeaway

This poster's success story shows that weight loss isn't necessarily about fad diets or intense workouts. Instead, making practical changes to everyday habits and being consistent with those changes can lead to significant results over time. Find a support system and don't beat yourself up if you have a setback – just keep moving forward.
