🔄2022 Regain (300lbs) ->2025 Now (205lbs)

🔄2012 Day of WLS (310lbs) -> 2019 Lowest Weight (180lbs)

🌀Sometimes with obesity, it can feel like a wash, rinse, repeat cycle. But I just want to remind you- you never start from scratch. You start again from experience!

🌀And what you can’t see in that pic from 2019 at my lowest weight, was me struggling worse than I’d ever struggled before. Drinking to cope with anxiety & depression, not eating and miserable.

🔆Today I have created a life I LOVE, and don’t need a vacation from. My life feels aligned with my priorities and there’s balance.

🔆Ask yourself if you’re creating a life, routine and habits you ACTUALLY want to keep. Because if not, it won’t be sustainable. And that’s the secret- a sustainable, balanced, healthy life is one you don’t need to escape from. 🩵

💉8 months GLP-1 Update: I started Wegovy at 285lbs mid-January, although my highest regain weight was 300lbs. Well today I weighed in at 205lbs. I’m down 80lbs since starting the Wegovy and 95lbs of overall regain. I’m so proud of myself and the hard work I’ve put in. I’m starting a fitness program Monday with .michaela.d and I’m excited to build muscle and get my b***y back! 😆 But overall, this has been a great tool for me in conjunction with my sleeve (12.5yrs postop from wls). I’m so glad I took the plunge, hung in there through the early headaches and nausea, and hope to continue taking this for maintenance whenever I hit my goal weight. I didn’t set a goal weight this time, rather I’m allowing myself to see what weight feels good, with a healthy lifestyle in place that I’m willing to maintain. Balance is the goal here!! Grateful for this second chance and going at it with experience.

January 285lbs ➡️May 240lbs: So grateful for access to a GLP-1 and my support network. 12.5yrs postop from bariatric surgery, and I’m still fighting the disease of obesity. Don’t count me out! 🤩 When we moved to Washington, I weighed in at 300lbs in January of 2023. So in total I have lost 60lbs of regain so far. And it feels good to remind myself, “I’ve been like this…” and I can do hard things!! 🙌🏻

💉🗓️GLP-1 UPDATE: Yesterday was 2 months on Wegovy, and 2.5 months since I started working intentionally on this regain. ⚖️⬇️I’m down 38lbs, exercising 3xs weekly, getting +90g of protein each day and taking my vitamins. 🫶🏻I haven’t had any GLP-1 side effects for a weeks now, and I’m holding steady at the 1mg dosage. Plus my energy has come back after having strep last month. 👩🏻‍⚕️I’m set to see my doctor again this week for a follow-up, and I’m looking forward to sharing my progress with her. 🥰

❌FRIENDS-STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS!!❌ Did you know I’m 6’2”? And so this is what a 35 pound loss looks like on me. 😳Not super noticeable right? I am proud of myself for putting in the work to drop 38lbs in 2.5 months. ❤️‍🩹But I get messages from people shocked and disheartened that they aren’t losing as fast. ⚖️Consider that I’m running a much “larger” machine over here, and my resting metabolic rate is most likely higher than yours. Which just means it takes a lot more calories to run this body than someone that’s 5’2”. 🙌🏻So be proud of your progress, big or small. 🏃🏼‍♀️Because if you’re moving even an inch closer to your goal, that’s better than sliding an inch backwards, further away from it. 🌟

showed up to our lunch date, and we were twinning! 🖤💛🤍We filled our bellies and our souls today. I love when you have that friend (especially a Bari-friend), that you can just pick right back up with, no matter how long you go without seeing each other. Thanks for the great catchup and lunch spot. Can’t wait to do it again soon! (I swear!😜)

🌟30lbs down🌟 Friday will be 7 weeks on Wegovy and my 8th shot. ⚓️🤒During that time I’ve had sick kids, husband has deployed, I developed strep & guttate psoriasis, started & completed one more course at Cornell University and continued to my business. 🫠🫠🫠 So when I say I’m tired… I know a calorie deficit can bring on fatigue, but so can 😷sickness, 😔depression, 🌧️rainy seasons and 😵‍💫lack of sleep. 🗓️All of which have happened in the last 7 weeks. 🌧️ So things are moving along over here; but I’m just suiting up and showing up right now. 👩🏼‍💼 🚶🏼‍♀️Who are we kidding…I’m in athleisure, pumping my water, protein and movement. And sleeping as much as I can. 😂😴 But that’s still something. And I’m damn proud of myself for it. 🤮I’m not drinking or compulsive shopping🤑 or numbing the uncomfortable feelings. I’m taking this all one day at a time. And that’s the biggest NSV of all!!!🌟

⚖️👖NSV today- The jeans FIT!! 😁Pulled out an old pair of flare jeans that I tried on last year and immediately shoved to the back of the closet because they didn’t fit. Like, didn’t go over my hips, didn’t fit. But guess what? I pulled them out today and they fit perfectly!!! So I grabbed Andres’ letterman jacket and rocked the whole look, which the kids both thought was pretty cool! 😎

🙌🏻You guys, I’m so happy I didn’t give up, and kept fighting the disease of obesity. I’m down 30lbs since January 10th, and in my 7th week on Wegovy. I’ve had less back pain (the main reason I decided to onboard Wegovy) and felt it getting easier and easier to get active again.

💉💉The last two weeks I moved up to the 1mg dose, and I’m so happy to report that unlike the lower dose I started on, I’ve had zero nausea or headache with it.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

😆Just out here doing the Lord’s work…. But seriously, how many of us have faced criticism and judgement for trying to treat our obesity? Damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. 🫠 At the end of the day, it’s your health, your body, your mind. You get to choose. 🙌🏻
