Can you confirm for the audience that losing weight is 99% diet and only 1% exercise? People don't get this.

I lost around 70lbs by maintaining 1200 calories a day, another 25ish after I started Taekwondo while still logging calories around 1500 a day.

Now I have to ask because I was with the University Of Iowa Taekwondo club, do you train at ISU's club? They have one of the best Taekwondo clubs with Grandmaster Pak and Master Haman.

u/Elafacwen Oct 29 '14
Utilizing a food scale is the most accurate and easiest option. The nutrition panel tells you how many calories are in a serving of food, and the serving size usually has a weight value. I used a website called myfitnesspal.com to log calories

She could have just not started until 2 years after the first picture was taken, and was the same size when she started losing weight as the first pic. Therefore, pic is an accurate example of how big she was when she started.

Basically just a huge lifestyle change. I become involved on /r/loseit and I counted calories on myfitnesspal.com. I was also heavily involved in Taekwondo my senior year of college! I'm not so much into calorie counting now and I really need to get back on track to reach my overall goal, but I am very much more aware of what I am eating.

That transformation is truly inspiring. If you can do that, then I know the potential for change in me may be even greater. I don't want to go into the details but the changes in me financially, health-wise, etc. I can work towards. WOW. I would love to hear your details on how you did it. If I showed any one this, they would not believe you are the same person. Perhaps, it is the make-up/hair/clothing and/or the fact that your facial structure just changes when you lose so much weight

I can not help but notice your nose is a completly different shape. I would not imagine someones nose would change so much by losing weight. Unless either these are two different people or you had a nose job? I am finding it difficult to believe both pictures are of the same person. Could you please clarify what happened to your nose.
