🌿 For most of us, weight gain doesn’t happen overnight. If you paused reading this and compared a photo of yourself today with one from high school or your wedding day—you’d probably notice a difference.
It happens slowly and for many reasons: we get distracted, we enjoy the dopamine hit from a dessert (or three 🍰), we move less, life takes over, our social circles change, we get comfortable—or just plain tired.
Then comes the wake-up call: a health scare, a pair of jeans that won’t button, or that one unflattering photo. And suddenly we want the weight gone in 3 days… or a week. But let’s be honest: it took 10–20 years to put on, and we expect it gone instantly? 🤔
📊 Research backs this up:
Brown Medical School tracked 4,000 people who lost weight—only about 20% kept it off more than one year.
A University of Kentucky review found that, 5 years later, the average person in a structured weight loss program kept off just 3% of their body weight.
So what actually makes a program successful? What are the habits of people who do make it work? In this video, I share my thoughts and advice.
✨ Starting October 1st, I’m launching a 6-Week Weight Loss Support Group —with small groups for men, women, and couples. If you’d like more info, send me a DM! 💌
