The Journey

In almost a year, a reddit user going by the name of shezbot, managed to lose 105 pounds. With just 21 pounds left to go, she has made incredible progress, transforming her body and her life.

The Regimen

The user shares that her weight loss was achieved through a high-veggie, lean protein, and healthy fats diet, with a daily caloric intake of 1200-1500. She also resorted to a stationary bike for an hour, 5 to 6 days a week and used resistance bands and squats in her home for weight training.

The Struggles

Shezbot shares that despite her impressive progress, she encountered issues such as bed rest from December to April, and having no weights after she started cardio again. She mentions having loose skin on her arms and thighs but said that it was not as much of an issue after she underwent a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery, which used her excess skin on her abdomen.

The Inspiration

Her progress inspired many redditors who congratulated and applauded her in the comments. The transformation was described by one redditor as 'two different people with the same tattoo,' while others were astounded by her perseverance and dedication.

The Takeaway

Shezbot's story inspires us to take our health and fitness seriously. A high-veggie, lean protein, and healthy fats diet, coupled with routine exercise, can bring about significant changes. Those who are struggling with their fitness journey, especially those who are starting from a similar position to Shezbot's former weight, should use the story as inspiration and give it their all.
