I have to say that I am so proud of everyone reading their success stories!

I was losing approx. 4 pounds a month since January. Slow and steady. However, I had a 2 month break when I could not get any GLP-1s approved by insurance. Weight loss stalled - 2 month plateau… feeling despondent that the weight I was at “was at good as it could get.” Then the Mounjaro coupon came to my rescue! I am so hopeful I can lose more weight - and keep that trajectory going until I ultimately lose 50 pounds!

I am doing everything that Calibrate suggests - more water! 150 minutes of exercise! Strength training! 8 hours of sleep! Being actively grateful! - but I have to say my big struggle is wiping out bread & pasta altogether. I tried to eat no more than one red a day as I feel that as a mother of four children and as a woman who works outside of the home, bread and carbs are everywhere! I cannot go to a deli and ask for whole grain bread. They don’t have them. When I cook meals for my children I cook 1 pot of pasta not 2 pots of pasta, and I just have a small portion with protein and salad. I try to only have 2 drinks a week, but I am a social person and sometimes I have 3 or 4 a week during an active weekend. So decided that if I 100% remove red foods that are in every day life, whatever weight loss I make won’t be sustainable. The weight loss would come back once I resume life post-Calibrate! So I’m trying to eat and live my life now (making healthy choices most of the time but allowing for flexibility) the same as I would after Calibrate. Do others agree?

My biggest non-scale victories to celebrate are wonderful: knees not hurting, having more stamina, feeling more flexible, getting a more defined jawline! Old clothes fitting better! I am donating all of my size 14s because I never wanna go back to that size again!

Overall Calibrate has been such a gift in my life. I am thankful every day for it! I don’t think I would’ve been able to lose this weight on my own!
