As someone who’s struggled with my weight for most of my life and changed that very recently, I know how important it is to stay healthy for ourselves and our family. If you’re willing, please think about donating (even $1) to help Adeline and her school reach their goal. https://myhrt.org/3olz9
I still have 50 to go but I’m feeling happier and healthier than ever. I made a decision early in my weight loss journey that’s had a significant impact on me. I decided that the goal wasn’t to be skinny, the goal was to be strong. Working out has played a huge role in my journey and it’s helped transform me both mentally and physically. As someone who’s bery bottom heavy, I wanted to tone that bottom half so here’s what I’ve done. Feel free to steal my strategy…1. Traditional squats 2. Bosu ball squats 3. Leg presses with progressive overload4. 30-45 minutes on the elliptical 3-4 days a week. I go forward and backward 5. Swimming the other 3-4 days a week 6. Heel raises 7. Goblet squats8. Weighted squats, my 45 lb 7 year old works just as well as a weighted vest 9. 10k steps a day 10.. Kettlebell walks around the track at the gym11. Compression leggings to treat my lipedema 12. Rear dead lifts 13. A vibration plate - drainage and recovery What do you do?#weightloss #fitness #fattofit #mounjaro #mounjaroweightloss #mounjarojourney #ozempic #wegovy #glp #glp1 #momswholift #momswhoworkout #pcosweightloss #pcos #100poundsdown #beforeandafter #thick #lipedema #lipedemalegs #glp1community #strongaf #momswholift
Bold Shapewear sent me a shaping bodysuit and it’s perfect for layering under fitted tops and tees.
I threw on some @cakesbody to give me a little extra coverage and I was good to go.
Does it look like it would fit my 7 year old? Yes. Does it suck and tuck everything? Also, yes.

Really? I’m a failure when I got to the gym 6-7 days a week? I’m a failure because I focus on high protein meals and shifting my mindset around food? I’m a failure because I use a medication to treat my PCOS that turned into type 2? I’m a failure because I work a full-time job but still strive to help others. I’m a failure because I volunteer in my community? I’m a failure because I message with people daily who have questions and want help on their journeys? I’m a failure because I built a community of people who support each other? I’m a failure for holding Q&As with specialists in their field?Are people failures who take medication to treat depression? NoAre people failures when they wear glasses to see more effectively? NoListen, if you can do it without supplementation, great. Let’s stop acting like everyone is in the same place and let’s not tear down other people because we’re sitting behind a screen on the internet. #weightloss #fitness #fattofit #mounjaro #mounjaroweightloss #mounjarojourney #ozempic #wegovy #glp #glp1 #momswholift #momswhoworkout #pcosweightloss #pcos #100poundsdown #beforeandafter #womensupportingwomen #glp1community
I’m actually on Mounjaro and only took Ozempic for a little while but you get the point. Without further ado, here they are: 1. My food addiction. It wiped that right out. No more cravings, no more constant thoughts of food, no more drives 20 minutes away to pick up cookies. 2. My enormous 🍑, don’t get me wrong, it’s still huge but way less huge than it was before. At one point, my hips were almost as wide as I am tall. One of my favorite NSVs so far has been sitting comfortably in a plane seat. 3. Almost all of my PCOS symptoms. Acne? Gone. Cycle? Completely regular. Hormonal exhaustion? Bye! 4. My ability to give an “F” about what anyone thinks. One thing that posting about this journey has done for me is to teach me that not everyone is in your corner. There are people who will judge you no matter how you lose weight. Surround yourself will people who cheer you on instead of tearing you down. Also, let’s be clear, I didn’t cheat, I’ve worked diligently to lose this weight with the help of the medication and I deserve my success just like anyone else in my shoes. 5. My weight loss stole my old life and helped me create a new one. It gave me the chance to live again. Sometimes, it’s hard to reconcile the shift and sometimes it takes a little work to grieve that old existence but it’s so worth it. Can you relate?#weightloss #fitness #fattofit #mounjaro #mounjaroweightloss #mounjarojourney #ozempic #wegovy #glp #glp1 #momswholift #momswhoworkout #pcosweightloss #pcos #100poundsdown #beforeandafter #glp1weightloss #glp1community
My list of weird changes so far…1. Your period will probably regulate and you might become super regular when you never were before. 2. If you’re a mom, you know that a little bit of peeing your pants can come with the territory. As you lose weight, you may also be strengthening your pelvic floor with workouts. Yes, ladies, you might be able to jump on a trampoline again. No guarantees but it could happen. 3. You’re less stinky. Less fat can mean less sweating so you might not be as stinky. 4. Skin tags stop growing. Those nasty little growths stopped showing up altogether for me. 5. None of your shoes fit because your feet have shrunken. I love my less fat feet but I miss some of my good shoes. 6. Less acne!!! I’ve noticed that anytime I eat crappy food again, my skin pays for it immediately. My skin is so much better now overall and I’m here for it. 7. TMI but sex can be better. Increased circulation, better flexibility and movement, hormones that are balanced, more energy, and more confidence can make sex better.8. Your food cravings can completely change. I went from loving and craving sweets to craving fresh veggies. It’s a weird but fun shift.
