So you've been losing weight for a while, and you hit your goal. What the heck do
you do now?! I'm gonna talk a little bit about that this week with a very special
guest, coming right up!
Hey, guys! Welcome to A.D. Keto. My name is Aaron. Welcome to the channel! This is the
channel where we talk about all things ketogenic diet. We talk about keto foods,
we talked a little bit about keto science, and we do some keto recipes. If
this is your first time here, please consider subscribing, and do click that
bell icon so you'll never miss a thing. I wanted to talk a little bit today about
weight loss goals, and what to do once you hit them.
I started 2017 with the goal of hitting 215 pounds. At that time, I was at
about 275. So I started keto in late January, and
just a few weeks ago, I hit that goal of 215, and I'm currently sitting at about
212. And I really feel like this is kind of where I wanted to be. I had toyed
around with the idea of trying to get down to One-derland, to get my weight
under 200 pounds, but as a taller guy, at about 6'3", I feel like between 210 and
215 is sort of where I want to be living, particularly after talking with my buddy
Pete Bilarczyk about the subject, which can watch right up here. He threw down
some crazy knowledge a couple weeks ago, regarding weight loss and maintenance, so
do check that out. But yeah, I've hit my goals -- weight loss wise -- and I'm still
navigating what I'm going to do at this point, and I really kind of wanted to get
a different perspective on what other people do when they hit their goals. And
one of my pals on Instagram, Manuela (her handle is @ketomammaofthree), recently
hit her weight-loss goals, and her transformation is amazing. Like, she...
over the last five months, I think, has lost 80 pounds. She's kicking butt, and
actually, she and her friends have unknowingly motivated me, many a morning,
to get my own butt out of bed. I will roll over, not wanting to get out of bed
in the morning, not wanting to go running, and I'll just peruse Instagram for a
little while, and she and, you know, a group of her friends are tagging each
other at 4:30 in the morning, 5 o'clock from the gym. So by the time I'm getting
up, they're... they've been done for like two hours, and it... it really shames me into
getting out of bed and hitting the road. So I do appreciate that, Manuela. But I
asked her if she'd come on the channel and talk a little bit about her journey,
and what she's doing now, now that she's kind of hit her weight-loss goals. And
she graciously agreed! So I'm super-excited to have her here. Manuela, thank
you for being on the channe,l and why don't you take it away? [Manuela] Hi, my name is
Manuela. I'm @ketomammaofthree on Instagram. When Aaron
approached me to do a show on goals, it was really a treat to look back at where
I started, where I am today, and to dream about what the future may hold.
I started keto six months ago, after a scary doctor's appointment. I was a size
18, and I was the heaviest of my life, at two hundred and twenty eight point eight
pounds. I was in the worst shape of my life, and my health was declining --
declining at an alarming rate. I knew I needed to do something drastic,
so I decided to try keto. I read as much as I could. I decided to follow Dr.
Westman's' approach to keto, which is a very strict form, to keep your carbs
under 20 grams total, and I gave it a shot I was afraid to dream. Because I
failed so many times. I struggled with weight my entire life, and I was afraid
to believe. I was afraid that I was gonna fail again, so I didn't take any 'before'
pictures or measurements. Please do that! Please, you want to give yourself as much
credit as possible for where you started in your journey. You will celebrate it
later on. But I didn't. I waited until I had lost 21 pounds. Then I had hope that
this actually worked. My cravings were gone, so at that point, I decided to
start an Instagram page, just to chronicle my own weight loss, not that I
thought anyone would be interested in my journey. And really quickly on, I saw
that people had a lot of success and a lot of goals,
and I had one: lose weight. So I decided to fine-tune those goals. I still was too
afraid to pick a specific number, like losing 10 pounds in a month. Now I'm glad
I didn't. I picked small goals. Goals that were
relying only on me. If I was not successful, I have only had myself to
blame. If I was successful, I did it. But I wasn't reliant on my body being ready to
lose 10 pounds. Sometimes that will happen, sometimes it won't. And I just
didn't want to factor that in. I know that if I did set those goals and I
didn't make them, I would be hard on myself, and want to emotional eat, and I
don't do that. If I did make that, cool. I would be borderline disappointed in
myself for not working harder to lose just a little bit more. So pick small
goals. My initial goals were: don't cheat on keto; track like you're getting paid
for it; and keep your carbs under 20 grams. I did it! I mastered those goals,
and little by little, I would add more and more and more and more. Drink a
gallon of water, make sure you get your electrolytes, you know, keep your carbs as
veggies. And very quickly on, I was within 10 pounds of my dream weight. I looked
back at the person I was. I didn't even recognize that person. Then the person
that I was at that point who had made great achievements, had conquered tons of
food addictions -- a lifetime of food addictions -- healthy habits. I was so proud
of myself. Then I looked in the mirror, and the fantasy that I had in my mind
was not the reality that I saw. So it's time to go to the gym. If you know me, I
am a social butterfly. I love to talk. I love group settings. I love a group class,
because of the competition factor of it. Those weren't my circumstances.
My husband works long hours. He leaves the house really early, gets home super-
late. If I needed to get my gym on, it was gonna have to be at 3:45 in the morning.
And no one works out at that time, except for me. But you know, what? I couldn't
focus on the inconveniences. I had to focus on that goal, and do whatever it
takes to make it possible. So I got into the gym. Being a night owl, it was the
hardest thing. Now, I love it! It has created healthier... healthier sleep
patterns. I'm not binging on Netflix. I'm tired. I'm
a better mom because of it. But that was by accident, that I figured
it out. As I got to the gym, I quickly hit goal
weight. I was at 149 pounds. Blew my mind. I didn't even know that I would get
there, let alone in five months. And then what? I need a game. I need to make it a
game. I need to find my motivation. How would I find it? And I found it, by
rewiring the game in my mind. I'd just turned 39, and I decided by the time I'm
40, I want to be in the best shape of my life.
And that is now my motivation. As I continued at the gym,
somewhere things were happening. I was getting bruises. I was having tingling in
my feet. Just weird stuff. I didn't feel as great as I once had, and this is why I
love Instagram. Reach out to smart people. There's people that already have it
figured out, that have been doing this for a long time. And so I reached out to
some people who helped me, who challenged me, and questioned me - "What are your goals?"
You can't... What worked for me when I was 228 pounds is not the same thing that's
gonna work for me at 149 pounds. I needed to up my calories. I
needed to up my protein. I needed to incorporate more vegetables. It couldn't
be so laser-focused on weight loss. My goal now had changed. It was to be in the best
shape of my life, to be healthy. And with that, my goals needed to change. So now,
I'm in a season. It's a new season, where I don't have everything figured out. I'm
tracking macros. It's super humbling, because it's hard. But if you aren't
willing to make difficult decisions, difficult sacrifice, you're not going to
be highly successful. You'll be moderately successful, but I want to be
highly successful. so now that I'm in macros, it's... as I said, it's humbling. But
my hope is that this is an opportunity. It's an opportunity for greater
knowledge, to broaden my scope, in hopes that one day, I can use this this blood,
sweat, and tears to help other people, so it's not wasted on just me. So I can
share it -- share it with other people, and help them along, so wherever you are in
your journey, there's gonna be bumps in the road. There's gonna be times where
you're less successful. Don't give up. Make it your life mission to find that
success. Sometimes you need to pick up a shovel and create your own path. You
don't need to reinvent the wheel. There are so many people out there that
already have it figured out, but with some creativity, with some networking, you
can... you can have those dreams, and be where I am sitting right now. And I can
tell you, it is the greatest feeling. My life is insane.
It's crazy. Things are hard, but the one thing that I have control of right now
is my food, is my body. And it's such a great feeling. Aaron, I know you know this,
because you're in maintenance mode, too - and it's the
greatest feeling. I am so happy for you. So people, don't give up. Fight for your
dreams, tooth and nail, blood, sweat, and tears, because you deserve the happiness
that is destined for you, and it's so doable. So thank you, Aaron, so much for
having me on your show, It's been an absolute honor, and wishing you guys all
great success. Thanks. [Aaron] Manuela, thank you so much. That was awesome. Guys, if

So Manuela, thank you again so much for coming on. I really appreciate it. And I'm
hoping to have more of my Instagram pals on here in the coming weeks and months,
so do keep watching. That's gonna wrap it up for this video, guys. I really hope you
