Hi Jaimediaz,

You have lost a lot of weight! I like to visualize 17.7 lb of butter. That is impressive!

Strong work Jamiediaz90! I can tell you are working really hard and your focus and updates are resonating with others! One thing I think helps when trying to stay the course with healthy habits even though we can't quite see dramatic changes in the mirror comes from this article I wrote on staying motivated. It is point number 2- Track health behaviors. I think it is helpful to keep track of successes such as "I avoided the dessert at the party" or "I completed my workout even though I really wanted to watch a movie" . After keeping track of these healthy changes, you can go back and scroll through your progress on the way to seeing your hard work reflected on the scale. Keep on keep'n on! Best, Joanna (Dietician)

Amazing progress! Is there a particular nutritional plan your following? I’d love to hear what foods you’ve found most beneficial in your progress and how frequently you’re working out etc...!

Dear Jamiediaz90!
That is awesome to hear! You are a rock star! I love Joanna's ideas about tracking progress with exercise and positive habits to see the big picture beyond the scale. Tracking inches lost is another great idea!


Thanks for keeping us posted! Brenda (Dietitian)

Update - Alright guys!!! I’m posting an update because I finally arrived to my 1st goal of 40 pounds!!!! In 2 months, I’m super excited and motivated to continue. Now that I completed my first goal, I will be changing my diets to add more carbs and protein, as my workout routine will also change, I am looking to add muscles and burn the remaining fat. During the first 2 months of my diet, I created a carbs deficit, while maintaining a good protein and vitamins intake. I had lots of energy and was able to maintain my hunger under control. I had a meal replacement in the morning with a fruit, either apple or banana, 6oz of chicken, 6oz of broccoli and 3oz of avocados (some days a banana if I didn’t have one in the morning, instead of the avocados) afternoon snack was a banana, if I didn’t have one for breakfast or lunch and at night fruits. My workout time is around 10:30pm, so the sugar I’m consuming through the fruits, I will use it for my workout. From 7:30pm-8:30am I did not eat anything. Also, lots of water and sometimes low calories juice with no added sugar. Work out was just 2.5 miles running and some weight routines.

Way to go Jamiediaz90! Sounds like you have a solid routine! Are you going to change up your food choices to prevent food fatigue? Maybe a pear or orange instead of apple or banana? Fish or turkey instead of chicken, etc? Water is great and keep mixing the cardio and resistance. Keep this health journey going and thanks for sharing with all of us! We get motivated by each other!
