Introduction

One reddit user, with the username gtfolmao, shares their 42-pound weight loss journey from being clinically obese to achieving a defined figure. After counting calories, restricting her diet, and exercising regularly, she has achieved great results in just a few months. In this article, we will take a closer look at her experience and explore the steps she took to achieve her goals.

Counting Calories and Restricting Diet

gtfolmao started counting calories and restricting her diet in May 2021, aiming for 1200-1300 calories per day. She also made sure to eat a good breakfast every morning consisting of three eggs and one cup of berries. She also cooked most of her meals at home and avoided alcohol. By doing so, she lost over 20 pounds within just a few months.

Exercising Regularly

Aside from dieting, gtfolmao also exercised regularly. She jogged for about 20 minutes at the gym and played casual softball once a week. She believes that her consistent exercise routine helped her achieve her goals by changing her body composition and making her body more defined.

Great Results and Loose Skin

Despite losing over 42 pounds within a span of a year, gtfolmao did not have loose skin, aside from her breasts that looked like deflated balloons. Her waist is more defined now, and her body composition has vastly improved. Her hard work and dedication to her fitness journey really paid off.

Conclusion

If you're looking for inspiration to kickstart your fitness journey, gtfolmao's success story is an excellent place to start. While her fitness journey may not work for everyone, counting calories, restricting one's diet, and exercising regularly can help achieve substantial progress. By staying committed to one's fitness plan, prioritizing regular exercise and maintaining a good diet, anyone can achieve their goals just like gtfolmao did.
