A teacher from the American city of Arlington, Texas, spoke about how she managed to lose 46 kilograms in 12 months. Her advice to those wishing to lose weight was published by Runner's World.
25-year-old Kristin Chamberlain claims to have gained weight when she was in college. Poor nutrition, poor sleep and lack of physical activity affected her, she said. “It continued after college, when I first started teaching in the fall of 2017,” she says. “Due to the additional stress, I put on weight up to 118 kilograms - and after that I realized that something needed to be changed.”
The girl decided that from the New Year she would start running according to the Couch-to-5K program, which promises to teach how to run a distance of five kilometers in nine weeks. In the early days, she did not run so much as walk, but even insignificant achievements made her happy. After two months of training, Chamberlain decided to pay attention to her diet: she began to monitor portion sizes, water intake, and gradually included more lean meat, fruits and vegetables in her diet. By April, she managed to lose nine kilograms.
Chamberlain continued to run, following the recommendations of the Nike Run Club mobile app. The girl ran eight kilometers every day. A month later, her weight decreased by another 14 kilograms, and by the end of the year she had lost 46 kilograms and began to weigh 72 kilograms. “Be proud of your small victories and persist,” she advises. - Don't blame yourself if something doesn't work out. Make a plan and work to make progress."
In April, it was reported that a resident of the American city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, spoke about how she managed to lose 43 kilograms in 12 months. It was very important to set small, achievable goals for yourself, she said.
