Lilyaforever, a Reddit user, documented their weight loss journey and shared their transformation pictures in the Progress Pics forum. After 36 months of hard work, they went from 298 pounds to 175 pounds. Their post garnered 136 upvotes and many supportive comments.
Tips for Success
Lilyaforever attributes their success to CICO (calories in, calories out) and taking things slow. They didn't restrict themselves to a particular diet or food group, but rather focused on eating in moderation and portion control. They also incorporated exercise into their routine, including strength training and cardio, but made sure not to overdo it.
Dealing with Loose Skin
One common concern among individuals who lose significant amounts of weight is loose skin. Lilyaforever addressed this in a comment, stating that they have some loose skin on their stomach, but it's not too noticeable. They plan to work on it with gym exercises in the future, but for now, it's not bothering them.
BMI and Health
Lilyaforever's BMI (Body Mass Index) is now 26.6, which falls within the range of overweight. However, they have made significant progress in their weight loss journey and should be proud of their accomplishments. It's important to remember that BMI is just one indicator of health and doesn't necessarily tell the whole story.
Conclusion
Lilyaforever's weight loss journey is an inspiration for those who are struggling with their own weight loss goals. Their approach of moderation, portion control, and exercise is a sustainable and healthy way to lose weight. Remember, everyone's journey is different, so it's important to find what works best for you and stick with it. With hard work and determination, you too can achieve your weight loss goals!
