First of all, I'd like to thank the people in r/loseit for sharing their experiences, thoughts and insights about losing weight and improving yourself. I've spent my life being obese or overweight, and I wanted to change that. My lifestyle used to be filled with terrible diets and was void of exercise. I have multiple health issues, and I knew that staying overweight / obese was just going to make it worse.
In the past, I didn't know what I was doing wrong. I tried a couple fad diets and managed to go back to the overweight range, but I was still fluctuating between the overweight and obesity range. I felt so lost because I felt like nothing I tried was working. I wanted to blame other things for my weight and I gave up on losing weight.
When the quarantine started last March, I was just browsing reddit and I stumbled upon r/loseit. I can definitely say that discovering this place is one of the best, if not the best, experience of my life. I saw that I was not alone in my struggle, and that there were others who were trying to improve themselves. After spending some time in this subreddit, I decided that I would improve myself this quarantine. I had a couple months before college started, so I decided that now was the time for action. I learned so many new things that I've never even thought of before to help me lose weight. I realized that I needed to change my lifestyle, and not just change what I'm eating for a short period of time. Losing weight definitely isn't easy, but seeing the people here in r/loseit made it much easier to not lose hope and give up.
I just weighed in this morning and saw that I finally reached my goal weight! It took 6 months of relearning and changing my lifestyle and habits, but it was definitely worth the work! I feel much better than before and I can do more things now. I couldn't have done it without the great people here from r/loseit! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
