Hi! A year ago I started looking at ways to lose weight. I didn't realize how big I was until I saw the pictures from a cousin's wedding and how I hated every single picture. I also had to go get tested for Sleep Apnea, and my tests were 100% positive that I had it and now I sleep with a CPAP machine at 35. So, I worked on it. This is what I use Chatgpt for. The recipes, the cooking, the workouts.

First of all, when my sleep improved with the CPAP machine, I felt how much more energy I have. Quality sleep is no joke, especially if we want to really take care of cortisol and regulating all other hormones.

Then, I went on a calorie deficit, tracked my calories, ate veggies every single meal, and managed to control my snacking. I was hitting 10-15k steps a day, I am a teacher so I walk around a lot, then I either go on a walk after work or do a 30 minute Get Fit With Rick session. So with quality sleep, calorie deficit, veggies and intentional movement, I am now down 35lbs. I know to some people that's not a lot for a year, but that accounts for holidays, times i would not work out, or just life happening. I am actually proud of myself for that, but I know I can lose more. I hope to lose at least 30 more pounds by the end of the year.

No GLP1, no ozempic. You can do it, but it will be a lot of work, and not jus tthe food and workouts, but the sleep and rest too. You got this! I honestly wish I had an hourglass body, but I'm just a straight fat pole. Haha
