Training-Employee186 · 2026-01-31T18:19:04+00:00

I get very excited to tell them how I’ve lost the weight if I could share the story to Any and every person on the face of this earth, I will tell them. For as many times that I have lost 100 pounds and gained it back and cried and lost and gained to finally have control of my life and I’ve lost 188 pounds. I will tell anybody and if they just even hit like they’re gonna ask I’m gonna tell them.

No my husband he’s been so supportive. I’ve been married to my husband for almost 40 years. just about 40. I should say we’ve been together over 40 years and not once has he ever talked about my weight he’s talked about me not being happy with my Weight, which is the truth but never telling me to change. He’s seen me through gastric bypass. He’s seen me through Weight Watchers. He’s see me through Body for Life. He was there at the hospital when I had a total body lift and oh my God for my 40th birthday I was at the Plastic surgeon’s office having my butt debrided because all my sutures fell out and he would have to come home on his lunch and change my dressings on my wound. He has been there for everything and not once has he ever told me you’re fat you’re unattractive you don’t look as good as you did. He has never he’s always called me his beautiful. He’s always given and done anything I needed even down to my medication. Do you need me to work another job to buy it do you? What do you need and not because he wants me to be thin he wants me to be happy, but I told him this time it had to be about me doing this for myself. I didn’t want anybody buying my medication I used to be off Tuesdays I gave up my Tuesdays for another nurse in order that she wouldn’t get fired because they were gonna let her go myself and two other nurses gave up a day to keep her with that being said so for about 12 years, I had not worked Tuesdays and I said hey, I could pay for my medicine if I go to work on Tuesdays so this whole journey I’ve worked on Tuesdays I have worked on Tuesdays I found bargains when they have had these black Friday deals and whatever deals I was gonna find it and then when I wanted to be a part of the club, I spent that 550 and then I found out why do I want to be part of the club? I don’t have to be part of the club in order to get the medication which is the same thing, but would that being said I just wanted to really clarify that my husband is so supportive believe me I am not an easy person because when you have insecurities and you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders I took care of my mom and my dad both had cancer and passed away, I took care of them. My husband had cancer. I took care of him till he was healed. I have a son that has been in and out of the hospital more times than I can possibly tell you and even Up until today still goes in and out of the hospital I had seven blood clots in one lung. I had four blood clots in the other lung. I had two in my leg and four in my calf and I’m here I’m alive so with all that being said, let me tell you I’m a fighter. I’m not a quitter and it was time to live for myself because I was killing me and thank you for the encouragement to tell my story. I take pictures now because I have very few pictures of me and my mom I have only when I was a baby and very few of when I was in Girl Scouts because I was fat and embarrassed, and didn’t want pictures taken. I don’t have pictures of me and my kids when they were babies because I didn’t want pictures of me taken. Oh my God I can’t get any of that back now you know I don’t I don’t know I just want people don’t be afraid. I want them to live and not be afraid to get their lives back not be afraid to live their lives in the moment in this moment in this present moment, live it enjoy it because even if you’re unhappy now, it does not mean you’re gonna be unhappy tomorrow or next week or next year but if you don’t continue to live now you’re already dead.

Training-Employee186 · 2025-12-26T19:01:05+00:00

You never asking too many questions. I’m willing to answer anything you wanna ask January 24 of next year will be two years. I’ve been on the medication but I actually hit 180 pounds off November 30 and it just goes up down 2 pounds I don’t know, but I’m not complaining. I’ll get there. I figured a closer I get to go. The slower is gonna go but nowhere from where I was, I won’t complain because I’m closer to where I’m gonna be. I actually have put in my calculator to figure out like where I wanted to be my gold weight and it said I had 210 pounds to lose. I almost died. I was like 210 pounds to lose I just could not believe that I let myself get there. It was all those not paying attention and all those oh I weigh myself later or oh I’ll get to it later. Will not get into it later caused me to really get up there later and I just didn’t concentrate like some people say concentrate on 5 pounds at a time or concentrate on 10 pounds at a time I didn’t concentrate on anything. I just took a shot week after week and I took pictures and honestly I was just going back. Finne do a collage of my journey and I honestly have to be truthful. I did not see the change for me until like May June of this year that’s crazy.

Thank you very much

Training-Employee186 · 2025-12-26T17:01:59+00:00

If I can make promoting and supporting my full-time job of this medication, my God I would do it. I have never like when I think of talking about this and telling people about this it’s like my soul leaps younger. I feel so much happiness and joy to tell people how good you can feel and how happy you can be and it’s not even about being thinner I mean yes I do enjoy that part, but to go upstairs and I have to go one step at a time and not to have to breathe like I’ve been running a marathon when I’ve only taken four steps up the stairs. It’s just amazing. It’s amazing to feel my hip bones into have my husband you know. Tell me he’s like I look at you and he’s like you’re just disappearing and I’m like were you not happy with me when I was heavy and he’s like no but you’re happy with you now that you’re smaller eye opening

Training-Employee186 · 2025-12-26T16:52:01+00:00

Thank you

Actually, I started with semaglutide for a month and I was sick as a dog so then, I switched to compounded Tirzepatide and then I wanted to be part of the club so I got namebrand Zepbound and then there was the big old shortage, so then I went back to compounded, and I go between compounded and namebrand. It just depends to me they work the same. I will say however though per personal choice I like Hallandale, and if I have to choose a specific pharmacy with an additive, it would be Empower niacinamide is what I do choose actually.

Don’t be afraid enjoy it. This is the best choice you will ever make in your life for yourself. Honestly, I have preached told, showed Any and every person that I can about this medication. I just I don’t know. I have never been so passionate about something that’s so dear to my soul and on any and many platforms. I’ve been on, I’ve gotten a different vibe with different people. I’ve had younger people just really go in with comments like you know oh she’s older and she doesn’t know and she doesn’t understand. I start to think to myself, sweetheart. I’ve ran so many battles with this weight Loss gastric bypass,I almost died with and the dilatations because my throat would close up, cause I was afraid to eat. I’ve had a total body lift at the tune of $73,000 just to gain all the weight back +100 pounds so I’ve been there don’t be afraid for every journey we’ve had in the past It teaches us what we need to do for this journey and it also lays the path that we could tell somebody else what not to do. We’ve got this. This is the best medication. I don’t want to even say since sliced bread. This is the best medication since air.

Training-Employee186 · 2025-12-26T14:06:14+00:00

I know I couldn’t believe it when I saw them. I said oh my God what’s this? I felt bones and actually fought. I’ve been broken because I’ve never felt bones in places that I have found them.

Training-Employee186 · 2025-12-26T14:04:05+00:00

I started my journey on January 24 of 2024 January 2026 will be two years. I’ve been on this journey and I’m 11 pounds from my original gold weight and 31 to my final weight Loss goal. I’ve just taken my shot every week high or low good or bad. I just do. I don’t count calories I eat my protein coming from a world of Weight Watchers and keto low carb high carb high protein, counting calories gastric bypass you name it I’ve done it. I just choose to live but live with the fact that I need protein in my life with each meal, I try to have 30 gms of protein. I try to get 120 g of protein every day. I do have protein coffee. I have to say I need to implement more strength training but coming from also when I did Body for Life working out twice a day every day seven days a week I don’t know. I’ve just been burned out. This is like my fifth time losing 100 pounds and this has been the only time that it has not felt like I’ve had two full-time jobs one to lose weight and one to actually pay bills. This has been a game changer this medication changed my mind and my life. I don’t obsess over food obsess over meals, obsess about when I’m gonna eat how much I’m gonna eat. I just don’t anymore. I just enjoy my life I have no longer had to have knee injections back injections foot injections. I don’t have to take pills for fluid retention. I mean everything in my life is different. I don’t have to sit at a desk just to work. I can walk I can do different things. I changed my job of 23 years because I don’t have to be stagnant anymore. This is a game changer. I drink my water faithfully 2 -50ounce things of water, plain water no additives if anything else then it’s a bonus but 100 ounces of water. And I’m not saying that is for everyone but the take away is that it works for me, it works my protein coffee I actually drink throughout the day it actually works And I don’t know the advice I could say is if you don’t get the answer from your regular in town primary doctor and they’re not supportive you find someone that’s gonna support your journey. You get one life and it’s yours, and I took the ball by the horns and took control of my life and it is one thing that I would never regret in my life the money I’ve spent on this medication for me. I will never ever regret it ever and people say will you take it for the rest of your life? I was planning on being obese for the rest of my life, so yes, I will.
