Introduction

Fitness is an important aspect of our lives that, unfortunately, most people tend to neglect. This leads to weight gain or health issues, and eventually, to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. In some cases, individuals may feel extremely dissatisfied with their appearance or health, but may lack the motivation or discipline to do anything about it. What everyone needs is some inspiration, and that's where Reddit comes in. Here's an inspiring story we found on Reddit about a 20-year-old user who lost 33lbs in 6 months and is still going strong.

Journey

The Reddit user, Shelblikadoo, started her weight loss journey at 218lbs and set a modest goal of 180lbs for herself. She shared her progress pictures after 6 months of hard work, revealing that she was now 185lbs. The pictures revealed a clear transformation of her face and her entire body. Positive comments flooded in, motivating her to keep going forward, and she shared her plans to keep jogging regularly to continue her weight loss journey.

Overcoming Obstacles

The Reddit thread reveals how the user overcame the common obstacles related to fitness goals. By setting small, achievable goals, she made her weight loss journey feel less like an obstacle and more like a routine. As she continued and the weight started to come off, her goal seemed more achievable. The user also mentioned taking Truvision initially, which helped her lose just ten pounds, but it was only when she started serving and waitressing that she saw the extra weight shed off—and it kept falling off.

The Importance of Setting Achievable Goals

The user shared that she had initially set a modest goal of 180lbs for herself, knowing that setting smaller targets would make it easier to achieve them. However, just like most people who set small goals, she soon realized that she could accomplish much more. She wanted to keep pushing herself and her body to see what was possible. She now feels that her new goal is not just losing weight, but being happy with herself and her body.

Conclusion

The Reddit thread shows that anyone can achieve their fitness goals with motivation, discipline, and small, achievable targets. Whether you're struggling with weight loss or trying to gain weight or build muscle, the key is to keep pushing yourself toward your goals. Remember, it's a journey, not a destination, and every small step counts. Motivate yourself with inspiring stories like this one, but ultimately, you have to create your own journey and goals. A healthier you is just a few small steps away.
