Hi everyone!

I hope you’re all doing well. I’m sorry for the lack of content over the past few weeks. In January, after the holidays, I achieved my first major milestone: reaching 200 kg (440 lbs), thanks to all of you who have supported me throughout this time. And of course, even though I didn’t document it as much as I would have liked, in about a month I gained around 20 lbs, which had a huge impact on me.

In January, I started preferring to order food via delivery and only leave my house when absolutely necessary due to the high temperatures, and it wasn’t a problem until one day I tried to go out—but I had only walked one block and I was already done. I was completely exhausted and out of breath from such little effort. I rested for a bit and then met up with a friend. But after walking just one more block, I couldn’t keep up with him anymore. I started panting and sweating uncontrollably, until I couldn’t go on and begged him to sit down for a while.

My friend was really shocked at how bad I looked after walking so little. I felt like my heart couldn’t take it anymore, so I asked for an Uber to get to my destination. I went out to eat to relax a bit, and on the way I weighed myself—that’s when I realized I was already at 440 lbs. That feeling was incredible. But at the same time, I was shocked by how, in just one month of extreme sedentary behavior and gaining 20 lbs, my physical performance had been affected so much.

After all this, I’ve started walking a bit more regularly and picked up some rhythm again, but I still get tired very quickly. And despite all of this, I still think: what about another 20 lbs? It would be incredible to go beyond 450 lbs.

Best wishes, and plenty of food and gains!, Benjamín
