Username: MariEverAfter
PW (Previous Weight): 355 lbs
CW (Current Weight): 352.2lbs
Goal Weight: : 140/150 lbs.
I want to include my inicial weight so i can really feel my progress
364 lbs (Started October 25, 2021), but before that i weighed 380 (Sep 1, 2020)
1. Tell us a little about yourself?: Hello, my name is Mari, i have never done this before, about talking about myself, so if my introduction is not the best so sorry, i promise ill try my best hahah. Well im from a little country named Panama, im 21 years old, currently in my third year of med school, and trying my best to get this weight off. If my post are not the best, its cause i dont dominate my english very well, so i get confused to hoy to write some stuff, sorry
I hope in the future i can express myself better. It makes me really happy reading all our teammates stories and progresses, it inspires me to do better and dont give up, thank you so much for that!
2. Why are you on this journey? What pushed you to start?: My breaking point was, when i was trying my scrubs for the hospital, to do my medical rotacions, and i couldnt find my size. I started to realize, how someone who want to help people and cure them is not taking care of themselfs. Adicionally, my health wasnt doing great, and i really started to scared me. So i started my journey.
3. What are your triggers and how can you avoid them? Normally i dont have a lot of triggers, that make me quit my diet but one trigger will be stressing moments and not finding what to eat. I found myself trying to break my diet when for example im studying late at night, and i want to eat something to recharge energy and i dont find anything i can eat for a snack, but now i try to mantain snacks easy to buy and low cost so i can use them as much as i want (obviously il try to moderate them).
4. Do you have a favourite diet you go by? ie keto, low carb: My go to diet or form of eating habit is KETO diet. Ive used it before and it really comfortable for me. I can eat and dont be hungry but at the same time im losing weight and not breaking my calories intake.
5. What is your favourite way to workout? Using the electric bycicle. I have one at home, but with my scheduale, sometimes im too exhausted to do excirse. But in the future i hope i can restart that part of my day.
6. What are some of your goals this month? I would like to be in my 310/320 lbs. by the end of the month, i know its a lot, but sky the limit.
7. What do you expect to gain from the team? Mostly the motivation of everyone working hard to their goals.7 -
@MariEverAfter, welcome and thanks for sharing!
Happy Tuesday everyone! I truly appreciate this group and how motivating everyone is. I didn't lose much weight last month, but I didn't gain any either! So that's a win.
I'm hoping to dig deeper this month and increase my exercise, and also be more consistent with my tracking. I did allow myself a day off from keto on Sunday for Halloween and enjoyed some candy, and it was tough to not do it again last night since we had leftover candy, but I jumped back on the wagon which I am really proud of.
It's a cold rainy day here in Oregon, but I'm planning to do a short run today after work which will help my energy and my mood and keep me on track for the remainder of the week.5 -
Steps 7,732
Yesterday was my first day with my kids back in school after power outages since last Tuesday. I snuck out at lunchtime to the chiropractor for my neck since it has been bothering me since I went back to work from being at the computer all day. I plan to give it a little longer then getting back to working out since ir has been a week and I feel so lazy.5 -
Question for the group. I'm seeing a lot of ads for hormone diets, but I've read somewhere they really don't make difference. Anyone tried one? Results, thoughts? Thanks1

Just got back from an 157 minute walk ...6.35 miles and 970 calories burned ... it was a struggle today since we weren't able to go early in the morning due to the A/C guys being here pretty much all morning/part of the afternoon for upgrading our duct work...we got out there today at around 2:30 and it was 70+ degrees5

I'm changing my step target to 7000. Realised today tracking them for the first time no way I'm going to get close to 10,000 working at a desk 8 hours and travelling for 2 hours. And I had more than usual tonight getting ready to go on a mini break tomorrow.
Next couple of days will be hard having a mini holiday and there is bound to be some indulgence so not looking forward to weigh in on Sunday.2 -

@MariEverAfter
Welcome to the team! I have your weigh day as Saturday. Do you want to keep it as Saturday or change it to Tuesdays?
@MJ_Keto
That is a win to me. Just curious about the candy and keto. Is it because of sugar that you can’t eat candy? I find keto very intriguing. I know if I am in a funk exercising always boosts my mood.
@rlaskey2
Awesome steps!
@Pippin20206
I have never tried it and I don’t think I would want too. If you decide to try something like this I would do lots of research and consult your doctor.
@Megan_smartiepants1970
Nice walking!
@rwood566
Great day!
@jayenguk
A week back on track should do the trick.2 -

Changing your step goal to a more realistic goal is very smart. Enjoy your mini holiday.2 -

280/500 zone minutes
Slept most of yesterday. I am still not feeling the greatest today so no pool. I need to look at my zone minutes goal. If it is a perfect week and I am in the pool 6 days it is very attainable. Realistically, life happens. I am going to think of a new smart goal for next week.
My Apple Watch has shipped so it should be here in the next couple of days. I was so excited when I opened the email this morning.
Happy Hump Day!
