The Journey
WWHarleyRider shares the story of her 4.5-year weight loss journey on Reddit, inspiring and motivating users with her journey. Her regime involved cutting down on portions and ensuring she had enough of each food group daily. She became a health coach three years ago, and her diet has undergone significant changes. She currently follows a vegetarian diet and uses walking for exercise. Earlier, she used to practice Bikram yoga but had to stop after hip surgery.
Motivation Woes
WWHarleyRider also talks about losing motivation along the way, and how sharing her progress on Reddit has helped her get back on track. She recommends giving oneself a break for a few days if the motivation wanes and returning to a regular routine afterward. She also encourages users to forgive themselves and continue working towards their goals.
A Healthy Weight
Another Reddit user, itchy__stitches, finds WWHarleyRider's journey inspiring and congratulations her. They also point out that WWHarleyRider's current weight, based on her height, age, and gender puts her at a very healthy weight. Itchy__stitches shares that they also practice yoga and have benefited from it. They ask to be friends with WWHarleyRider and inquire about her experience being a health coach.
Celebrations
Many Reddit users, such as sarahhope56, breathcomposed, and MeggyMeister appreciate WWHarleyRider's transformation, almost making her look years younger than she was before. The community has come together to congratulate her, give advice, and appreciate how much hard work she has put into achieving her goals.
Keeping the Train Going
WWHarleyRider's story serves as excellent motivation for those who are unsure of starting their weight loss journey. Her story highlights that small changes in one's lifestyle can make a significant difference. Although her progress has been remarkable, it is essential to remember that everyone has different bodies and different requirements. COVID-19 related restrictions may inhibit individuals from practicing yoga or limit access to the outdoors. However, adapting to new and different ways of staying active, and healthy is an essential aspect of keeping oneself motivated to move forward.
