The Weight Loss Strategy
After consulting with a doctor, the user made changes to her diet by reducing calorie intake and increasing physical activity. She also incorporated strength training exercises to build muscle mass, which in turn helped to boost metabolism.
Small Changes Go a Long Way
The user started small by reducing caloric intake and increasing her daily step count. As she saw results, her motivation grew, and she started hiking and biking outdoors. She found that by making small, sustainable changes, she saw significant progress over time.
Celebrating Successes Along the Way
The Reddit user celebrated every loss, no matter how small. She shared her progress with others, which provided accountability and support. As she continued to hit milestones, such as hitting the 50-lb weight loss mark, she felt motivated to continue the journey.
The Importance of Self-Care and Mindset
The journey to losing weight is not an easy one. The Reddit user emphasized the importance of self-care and mindset, such as focusing on the non-scale victories and not being too hard on oneself. She also sought out support, such as seeing a therapist or talking to friends and family.
