If these resonate then there’s a very good chance you’re not getting enough protein. 1. Muscle Loss or WeaknessWithout enough protein, your body may start breaking down muscle, leading to loss of strength or lean mass. 2. Hair Thinning or Hair LossProtein is vital for hair growth, and a deficiency can lead to noticeable shedding or thinning. 3. Fatigue or Low EnergyProtein helps maintain energy levels. Too little can leave you feeling sluggish, even if you’re eating fewer calories. 4. Hunger or CravingsLack of protein can lead to persistent hunger or cravings—especially for sugar and carbs—even on an appetite-suppressing med. 5. Slow Recovery from Workouts or InjuryIf you’re staying sore longer than usual or healing more slowly, it could be a sign of inadequate protein for tissue repair.6. Weakened Immune SystemProtein supports immune cells. Getting sick more often or struggling to recover from illness may be a sign your intake is too low. 7. Mood Changes or Brain FogProtein provides amino acids that help produce neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. A deficiency can lead to mood swings, irritability, or difficulty concentrating.Need a list of quick hit protein options, make sure to check out the comment section below.

P – Prep Easy Grab-and-Go MealsSet aside time to prep healthy meals/snacks so you’re ready when hunger hits.R – Review Your ProgressCheck in weekly with your goals—track wins, challenges, and what to improve. Don’t forget, a calorie deficit for six months is no longer a calorie deficit. You have to recalculate as you lose weight. E – Exercise RegularlyAim for 3–5 days of movement—cardio, strength, or even walks all count. Get those weighted vest out and join me on a hot girl walk. Don’t forget to join my stories for accountability check ins. P – Prioritize ProteinInclude protein in every meal to stay full and support lean muscle. Calculate our protein intake with .6-1 gram per pound ideal body weight. A – Add More Whole Foods and Fiber Dense Options Focus on adding fruits, veggies, whole grains, and unprocessed foods to boost nutrients and satiety. If you’re not getting enough fiber, supplement it so you can keep things moving. R – Rest and RecoverQuality sleep and recovery are essential for fat loss and overall health. Get those 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Switch up your workouts every other day to avoid burnout too. E – Eliminate ExcusesAnticipate barriers and build strategies—make your goals a priority.

Here are the items I’ve been influenced to buy and my honest thoughts on them: 1. My Ninja Creami - I want to love it but it seems like sooooo much work 2. Stanley’s - I moved onto Owalas since they don’t leak 3. Halara - big win in the athleisure department 4. Weighted vest - OBSESSED! 5. Cakes - unless you’re part of the itty bitty titty committee, you need to get the biggest ones. They’re also not supportive at all, no matter what they say on tik tok!Let’s hear yours so I can stop spending money on things I don’t need! #mounjaro #ozempic #transformationtuesdays #thickandfit #weightedvest #pcos #glp1 #fattofit #100poundsdown #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #weightloss
10 Reasons I’m on a GLP-1…1. To silence the 24/7 food cravings – Turns out, life exists beyond obsessing over my next snack. 2. To chill out my chronic inflammation – My joints are thankful and I’m rocking those Megan knees. 3. To kick my PCOS symptoms to the curb – They packed up and left like a bad ex. If I’d had this a decade ago, I might’ve skipped fertility treatments altogether. 4. To lower my risk of Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia – Brain health? Yes, please. The science is still coming in, but I’d rather be ahead of the curve. 5. To get my blood sugars in check – Went from a 6.7 A1C to a 5.26. 6. To finally have energy – Turns out, life isn’t supposed to feel like you’re wading through quicksand 24/7. Who knew? 7. To clear the brain fog – I can actually remember why I walked into a room now. 8. To make workouts feel worth it – Seeing actual results makes sweating feel less like a punishment and more like a power move. 9. To say goodbye to skin tags and dark patches – Insulin resistance did not give me the glow I was looking for. 10. To lower my risk of 13 obesity-related cancers, kidney disease, and cardiovascular issues – Because living a long, healthy life is the real glow-up.GLP-1s: Not just for the scale, but for the whole system. #OzempicWeightLoss #MounjaroResults #ZepboundJourney #GLP1Struggles #DigestiveDisaster #WeightLossJourney #SlowGastricEmptying #FriedFoodRegrets #OzempicLife #GLP1Tips #FoodFreedom #HormoneHealth #WeightLossSupport #pcosweightloss #pcos
Sunday Night Prep
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail – or in my case, prepare so much that I have zero excuses to slack. My trunk is basically a mobile survival kit for fitness, snacking, and staying on track.
Gym clothes? Packed. Snacks? Stocked. Energy drinks? Ready to fuel my questionable life choices.
Because let’s be honest—if I don’t have my Hokas, protein bars, and at least one emergency tuna packet, I will find a reason to skip the gym. And we can’t have that.
So here’s to outsmarting laziness and making success the only option.

Why would I CHOOSE to embarrass myself? Living in a small town of 4,400 people means everyone knows your business before you do. But that hasn’t stopped me from sharing my GLP-1 journey. Here’s why I keep putting it all out there: 1. There is no reason to be ashamed of using a GLP-1 medication to combat obesity, type 2 diabetes, and PCOS. It’s a tool, not a shortcut, and it’s saving lives. 2. The stigma around these medications needs to go. Too many people suffer in silence because they’re afraid to ask questions. If talking about my experience helps someone feel less alone, then it’s worth it. 3.These medications are accessible and available. They exist for a reason, and people deserve to know they have options if they need them. 4.If I can do it, anyone can. I’m a 40-year-old woman who has lost 115 pounds so far on my 160-pound journey. No gimmicks, no fad diets—just science, consistency, and a whole lot of determination. 5.Because people tell me every day that sharing my journey helped them start or continue theirs. And that is more than enough reason to keep going.The more we talk about it, the more we normalize it. So if you’ve been thinking about taking control of your health, consider this your sign.Follow for more, ask your questions, and let’s keep the conversation going. #GLP1 #WeightLossTransformation #ObesityTreatment #HealthJourney #PCOSWeightLoss #GLP1Results #WeightLossSuccess #SmallTownBigChanges #DiabetesAwareness #LoseWeightFeelGreat #MindsetShift #WomenLosingWeight #Over40AndThriving #HealthMatters #WeightLossSupport
Some brutal truths about weight loss…1. Weight loss doesn’t come with inexplicable bliss. Yes, there will be joyful days but it’s hard too. 2. Slipping back into old habits is easy to do. After all, your nervous system would rather go back to a “comfortable hell” than embrace an “uncomfortable heaven”. 3. You have to know who you’re working for and why you’re doing it. Take the pictures, write down the journal entries, share the journey on line. I don’t care how you do it; remind yourself of the version of you who started it all. 4. Don’t let toxic people steal your joy. You’re doing this for you and no one else. Not everyone will be your cheerleader and that’s okay. Fill your life with supportive people. 5. The image of the “healthier you” that you have in your head probably isn’t the one that you’ll end up with. I thought my stomach would be flat again, I thought I’d finally feel better about my thighs and butt. It hasn’t happened and it probably won’t happen. Instead, I focus on my goal of being a 40 year old and woman who is strong AF instead of skinny AF. Side note - if you’ve ever struggled, please listen to this beautiful song.

Top 10 Weight Loss “Cheat Codes” for Effortless Fat Loss 1.Eat Protein Before Anything Else at Every Meal. Prioritize lean protein (chicken, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, tofu, cottage cheese) before eating carbs or fats. This fills you up, stabilizes blood sugar, and reduces cravings.2. Use an ADHD Visual Timer for Water Consumption. Set a 30-60 minute visual timer to remind yourself to drink water throughout the day. Seeing the countdown prevents forgetting and ensures steady hydration. 3.Drink 24 oz of Water Before Eating Anything in the Morning. This kickstarts your metabolism, flushes out toxins, and naturally reduces hunger before your first meal. 4.Create a Salad Bar in Your Fridge with Clear Containers. Pre-chop veggies and proteins like grilled chicken, boiled eggs, and beans in clear meal prep containers so you can build a quick, nutrient-packed salad instead of reaching for junk. 5. Eat the Same High-Protein Breakfast Every Day. Having a go-to breakfast (like eggs & avocado, Greek yogurt & berries, or a protein smoothie) removes decision fatigue and sets the tone for a high-protein day. 6. Drink a Protein Shake or Bone Broth When You Get Cravings. A quick whey/casein shake or a warm bone broth satisfies cravings, supports muscle retention, and prevents snacking on processed junk. 7. Use a Smaller Plate for Meals to Trick Your Brain. Studies show eating off a 9-inch plate vs. a 12-inch plate makes portions look bigger and naturally reduces calorie intake. 8. Set a 10-Minute Rule for Late-Night Snacking. If you feel hungry at night, set a timer for 10 minutes before grabbing food. Most cravings disappear, and if you’re still hungry, opt for protein or fiber-rich snacks. 9.Move for 10 Minutes After Every Meal. A short walk or light movement (like squats, stretching, or cleaning) after meals lowers blood sugar, boosts digestion, and prevents fat storage. Even better, add in a weighted vest. 10. Eat From a Bowl Instead of the Package. Never eat directly fr
What red flags give you the ick?
When evaluating a GLP-1 medication provider, I watch out for these 🚩 🚩 🚩:
1. No Access to an Obesity Medicine Specialist – If the company does not offer consultations with a board-certified obesity medicine specialist or qualified healthcare provider, it may not be prioritizing safe and effective treatment.
2. Lack of Nutrition and Lifestyle Support – GLP-1 medications work best when combined with nutrition and lifestyle changes. If the provider does not offer dietitian support, coaching, or educational resources, it may not be a comprehensive program.
3. Use of Non-503B Pharmacies – Reputable providers source compounded GLP-1s from FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities. If a company is using non-503B pharmacies, there may be concerns about quality, safety, or legality.
4. Bait-and-Switch Pricing – Some providers advertise low introductory rates but significantly increase costs after an initial period. Others may quote a low price but later add undisclosed fees for medication, consultations, or refills.
Why Mochi Health Stands Out
Mochi Health avoids these red flags and checks all the right boxes. They offer direct access to obesity medicine specialists, provide nutrition and lifestyle support, source medications responsibly from 503B pharmacies, and maintain transparent, upfront pricing. Their comprehensive approach focuses on sustainability and overall view of health.

What it’s really like to be the fat girl, from the fat girl…There are a lot of things that I’ve realized after losing 115 pounds and still being the fat girl in the room. 1. I’m never going to hit my goal weight because I’m never going to know what I look like at the weight, hello, body dysmorphia. I’m better off working on my goal body and throwing the goal weight ideology out the window.2. I will never be the thin girl in the room. I’ll always be looking around to see if there’s anyone bigger than me. 3. I’ll always be healing from the mean comments about my weight that I had as a kid. They couldn’t call me dumb but they’d always call me fat. 4. I’ll never embrace the body positivity movement regardless of my size. I never felt comfortable being fat and I hated my body. 5. I’ll never be able to stop. In order to maintain my weight loss and continue to lose weight, I’ll have to do the same things that I did to lose it in the first place. 6. I will always be worried that my daughter will gain weight like I did. I’ll always be worried for her health, for the bullying, and for the stress on her body that I put on mine. Yes, that’s right, I worry about my daughter being fat. I would never tell her so and I don’t restrict her food habits but I worry that she’ll have to deal with those struggles. 7. I constantly think of how much better my life could have been if I wasn’t fat - better opportunities, better jobs, better everything. On World Obesity Day, I’m reminded that being fat is hard and losing weight doesn’t mean that the struggles just go away. I’m lucky in that I finally had access to a medication that helped me, support from family and friends, and a gym membership that helped me learn to love my body. I wish you the same. #glp1community #Zepbound #mounjaro #tirzepatide #wegovy #ozempic #glp1 #weightloss
