Results Rooted In YOU!

How Owning Your Space Sets You Up for Health Goals!
Have you ever felt like your environment is working against you? The good news is, you can change that and it starts with small, intentional steps. At WLS Success Matters, we believe that owning your space is part of owning your success.

Here’s how you can make your environment your greatest ally in achieving your goals.

1. Plan Protein & Produce

When I shop, my priority is simple: protein and produce. These are the building blocks of success. By focusing on high-quality, nutrient-dense foods, I’m setting myself up for meals and snacks that align with my goals.

Pro Tip: Before heading to the store, shop your kitchen first. What’s already in your pantry, fridge, or freezer? Use what you have to plan meals and minimize waste.

2. Refresh & Reset Your Space

A cluttered space can lead to cluttered habits. That’s why I clean out and reorganize my kitchen and office cabinets two to three times a year.

Here’s my system:

Step 1: Toss expired items and donate unopened foods you no longer want.

Step 2: Group like items together so everything is easy to find.

Step 3: Clean your fridge weekly. This keeps it organized and ready for your new groceries.

Success Story: One of our members shared how reorganizing her fridge and pantry turned meal prep from a dreaded chore into an empowering habit. Small changes like these make a big difference.

3. Accountability: Your Part-Time Job

Managing your environment is part of the job of being a weight loss surgery patient or anyone managing health goals. It’s about showing up for yourself with authenticity and intention, every day.

By taking charge of your space, you’re creating an environment that supports your goals instead of sabotaging them. When you’re organized and prepared, success feels easier and consistency becomes second nature.

The Bigger Picture

Your environment is part of your journey. It’s the foundation that helps you focus on what matters most: your health, your habits, and your goals. Transform your space, and you’ll transform your results.

This is exactly what we focus on in the Original Weekly Weigh-In Group. From planning and organizing to staying accountable and inspired, we’re building a community of people committed to real change.

The next session starts March 4th.

Don’t let your environment hold you back. Join us and build the space, habits, and mindset that lead to real transformation.

Let’s make your environment your superpower.

We’re with you every step,

Are you ready to take the leap and root your results in action?

Your Vision, Your Plan, Your Success
As January comes to a close, it’s time to look beyond the goals you’ve set and focus on what it takes to achieve them. Setting goals is one thing, but getting them? That’s where transformation happens.

To go from goal-setter to goal-getter, you need more than just good intentions. You need a clear vision, a realistic plan, and the commitment to show up every day—even when it’s uncomfortable.

5 Steps to Root Your Results in Success

1. Create a Vision

Define what success looks like for you. A clear vision keeps you aligned with your goals and focused on your “why.”

2. Set SMART Goals

Break it down into goals that are:

• Specific: What do I want to achieve?

• Measurable: How will I track progress?

• Attainable: Is this goal realistic for me now?

• Relevant: Does this align with my overall vision?

• Time-Bound: When will I accomplish it?

3. Build an Action Plan

Think ahead. What steps will you take? What tools or support will you need? What obstacles could arise, and how will you handle them?

4. Commit to a Start Date

The hardest part is starting. When will you take the first step? Today? Tomorrow? Pick a date and go for it.

5. Stay Accountable

How will you track progress and celebrate wins? Surround yourself with a supportive community that helps you stay focused and motivated.

What’s Next for You?

At WLS Success Matters, this is what we do—help you turn goals into results through accountability, action, and community. Change isn’t easy, but with a clear plan and the right support, it’s possible to create lasting success.

Are you ready to take the leap and root your results in action?

Can GLP-1 medications complement your weight loss surgery success? Absolutely! 💪

As weight loss surgery (WLS) patients, we know the journey doesn’t end after surgery—it’s just the beginning of a lifelong commitment to health, balance, and growth. That’s why we’ve been here for 12 years strong offering our Original WLS Success Matters Weekly Weigh-In Group. 🎉

But let’s talk about how GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Wegovy) fit into this picture. For many WLS patients, these medications are an effective tool to combat plateaus, manage weight regain, or boost your results. Think of them as enhancing what your surgery started by working on the hormonal side of hunger while we continue to focus on the habits, support, and accountability that keep you on track.

With our Weekly Weigh-In Group, you’ll:
✅ Get the support of a like-minded community
✅ Have real conversations about what’s working (and what isn’t)
✅ Learn how to balance tools like GLP-1s with the lifelong changes your surgery requires
✅ Stay accountable in a safe, nonjudgmental space

For over a decade, we’ve been walking this path with you—celebrating victories, troubleshooting challenges, and providing a space where you can succeed, whether you’re just starting or need a boost to get back on track.

Ready to connect with others who get it and take the next step in your journey? Join us today: Learn More Here: https://wlssuccessmatters.com/the-original-wls-success-matters-weekly-weigh-in-group/

Here’s to your continued success—whether you’re using GLP-1s, WLS, both, or just your sheer determination to live your best life! 💖 Let’s do this together.

Good morning!
It's me, Sandi Henderson , coming to you from my current weight loss journey.
Those of you who know me know that I got my lap band in 2004, shed 232 pounds with it and maintained a 200 lb weight loss for about 20 years.
I was living a life I never imagined possible...
Then came the pandemic and several unexpected medical issues. Regain happened. Due somewhat to my poor eating choices during periods of high anxiety and the fact that my body loves to form adhesions I had to have my band removed in July of 2024, just a few months after a knee replacement and some back procedures
My lymphedema took over and I began dealing with it..totally eliminating processed foods from my food choices, my only dairy was Greek yogurt and sheep or goat cheese...no lunch meats, gluten free, etc, etc.
Then I kept reading about the anti inflammatory results of the new GLP 1 drugs ...Ozempic, Monjaro, and their prescribed for weight loss identicals Wegovy and Zepbound. Also benefits to the heart...I have venous insufficiency so any cardiovascular benefits sounded good.
Well last week I took my first shot and have been delighted that:
1. My appetite and therefore my portions are small
2. I'm thirsty and drinking more water
3. Exercised 6 days out of 7 so far ( it's early here)
4. Been sleeping a little better
5. Been tracking and meal planning and batch cooking and freezing again
Overall I feel better already.
No side effects for me.
I will weigh tomorrow in the morning. I take my shot in the evening.
I am truly looking forward to each day with more positivity and more energy
My persistent personality is returning in buckets load ..watch out world!!!
Please feel free to follow my page and my continued journey at 76 years young!

Tis the season!
One more month until 2025.
It's the month of parties, cookie shares, break rooms loaded with sweets, pot lucks, Holiday candy on the corner of everyone's desk, end of year projects and accounting, more parties, more food, more crazy schedules.
STOP! BREATHE!
Take a moment for yourself.
Plan to set up January with THE GROUP that can get you coasting into the first quarter of 2025 with accountability, support and education as you continue on your weight loss journey no matter what path you have chosen.
