. Tell us a little about yourself? Where are you from? What are some of your hobbies? Etc. I'm Patti, lving temporarily in Georgetown, CO while I care for my son's girlfriend who is being treated for a rare cancer. "We" are halfway thrpough the journey and the treatment is successful in regards to the cancer. I love to hike with my dog, Peggy, and I just bought a ukulele and plan to start lessons later this month. I volunteer at a local animal shelter, Norwegian and Spanish on Duolingo, read and binge Netflix.

2. Why are you on this journey? What pushed you to start? It seems like I've been trying to lose weight for the last 30 years.

3. What are your triggers and how can you avoid them? Sugar and carbs - I have to keep them out of the house and white knuckle through it.

4. Do you have a favourite diet you go by? ie keto, low carb I seem to do the best when I am focusing on veg, fruits and not worrying about calories. For me it is what I eat, gluten and dairy cause me to have a lot of inflamation.

5. What is your favourite way to workout? Anything outside! I love walking with my dog.

6. What are some of your goals this month? Year? I want to get sugar out of my diet.

7. What do you expect to gain from the team? Do you have any suggestions? I love hearing both successes and challenges.

8. Share some words of wisdom with your teammates.

I did my 2nd fast day of 5:2 diet this week, so that’s why there’s a good loss. Hopefully it will stay off for the rest of the week 🤞
Still have poorly children so not a good nights sleep because I was up with them through the night 🥱

I hope your kids feel better.

I didn't make my Garmin step goal, but at least I hit my challenge step goal! It was a struggle getting my activity in yesterday, but I did it. I'm meeting up with my friend this evening for our (now) regular Friday gym date.

You are all keeping me motivated and accountable to myself. I appreciate you

Am I able to change my weigh-in day to Friday?
