Weight Journey: 31 Lbs Lost and Weight Training for a 24 Year Old Woman

Sirensam, a 24-year-old woman, shared her weight journey of nine months on Reddit. She lost 31 lbs and added 4 lbs to her weight. Currently, she has stopped her calorie deficit and started weight training. Her maintenance calorie intake is at 1640, with 40% carbs, 30% fat, and 30% protein.

Sirensam's journey started with tracking her food intake and sticking to a calorie deficit. However, upon reaching her goal weight, she realized that losing more weight would result in being underweight based on her body mass index (BMI). So she decided to shift her focus from cardio workouts to weight training.

Since starting weight training with a trainer, her focus has been to get her glutes back. Her trainer has been switching up her workouts in a progressive manner, with emphasis on squats, hip thrusts, and kettlebell swings. She maintains her calorie intake at 1640, but it may increase once she starts lifting heavier.

Sirensam's posture, confidence, and overall demeanor have improved. Her current BMI falls within the healthy range, with a more defined and muscular body. She is now inspiring others to embark on their own fitness journeys.

Sirensam's weight journey proves that focusing on weight alone isn't always the best way to achieve a healthy, fit body. Weight training and a balanced nutrition plan are crucial in sculpting and toning one's body. It's essential to listen to our bodies and be mindful of our goals. Anyone can work out a plan that fits their lifestyle, diet, and schedule.
