Lose Weight Sara

16/07/2024

My Dad was my caretaker when I had my surgery in Las Vegas nearly 2 years ago. He's in town visiting this week and we were just talking about how we should go back to Vegas and do more site seeing since it's easier for both of us to get around now, and I wouldn't have any food restrictions like I did last time we were there! 😂

Also, I'm realizing more and more what a gift it is to have time to spend with my parents. Many of my close friends lost theirs, and it's hard not to think about how limited the time can be. I know that's a little depressing sounding, but the overall message is that you've got to make the most of the time you've got. 🫶

Now if only I could get my dad to give up the dang ci******es!!!

✨💖 Weight loss transformation photos are fun. But I wish I could show you the transformation in my mind because that's where the ✨real magic ✨ has happened.

During my weight loss, I went from:
Doubting ➡️ Brave
Self conscious ➡️ Confident
Faltering ➡️ Steadfast
Frightened ➡️ Fearless

This has taken more work than I could have imagined, but I'm proud of myself and ultimately, extremely thankful for the journey.

💖✨This is 41 ✨💖

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes over the last few days. I had a great time relaxing, enjoying time with my family, time at the pool, and of course, some time at the gym.

Here's to making 41 my best year yet.

The romper won by a landslide 🙌

I had a fantastic time at the Whiskey Ridge Social Mixer, especially seeing my beautiful friend and meeting all the wonderful ladies and gents who came out. I can't wait to show you all these house, they were gorgeous! For now, here's some fun pics we took at the mixer 🫶

Thanks to everyone who helped me choose my outfit, it was a tough choice! 💜

Happy happy birthday to my love Tim!

It's always been fun sharing a birthday with my husband (mine is tomorrow). We are both working today so we will celebrate over the weekend. Another year of awesome ahead 🥳🥳🥳

There's only a 15lbs difference between these two pictures taken slightly over a year apart. I think this speaks volumes to the power of weight lifting and muscle building. My weight hasn't changed all that much and I still fluctuate between 150-155lbs consistently, but I look and feel so much stronger. If you've been thinking about lifting - just start. 💪💪

I think my face says it all 🤭🫣

I always loved wearing dresses. The big difference now though is that I physically feel more comfortable and mentally feel more confident.

- 125lbs between these pics, still shows my love for a walk in the sunshine ☀️

Took a pitstop at the butterfly garden at Ray Harral Nature Park. So pretty! It was a lovely afternoon for a hike.

Feeling cute, might play some bingo later, idk 😂💖 gonna put my bingo wings to use 😂

First day of many to come at the pool this summer! Had a great time with Justin and even ran into my sweet beautiful friend ! I love the summer!

💞Happy Mother's Day💞
Hanging out with my daughter making a pink "tiramisu" that's using red vanilla and chamomile teas in place of coffee. More important is the time we get together. I love my children so much and they are one of the primary reasons I chose to take control of my health. 💖

Really happy how my arms and shoulders are looking lately. My patience and determination are paying off. I can't believe there was ever a time I didn't like weight lifting. I love it now!

No comments on my loose stomach skin unless you're willing to pay for my MMO 😂😂😂

Never. Going. Back.

Some days I look in the mirror and can't believe what I see. Not today though. I worked hard to get here, so I believe it.

Hi Sara Squad! I really wanted to make my Lift Heavy February final update video, but some other commitments ate up my time. My dad is coming to visit from Jersey for the next two weeks, so I won't be posting much here or on YouTube until the end of March. There are a lot of exciting things happening that I can't wait to share with you, but I appreciate you patiently waiting for my next YouTube video as I spend time with my Dad while he is here. Thanks for understanding!

This pic is a group photo (poorly zoomed in) from my gym's Transformation Challenge class. As you can see, progress has been made 💪 I got my InBody Scan and measurements this week and I promise, the results I share will be worth the wait!

Accountability post AND proof that I wear colors other than pink (not often, but I do).

Y'all. I have fallen in love with lifting heavy. I just ordered weight lifting gloves on Amazon. WHO AM I?!?! Also, the Transformation Challenge at is changing my life one class at a time. I like this stuff?? No. I f'ing LOVE this stuff and I am constantly amazed at what I can achieve. Shout out to Kylie, Ruth, Morgan, Preach, and all the trainers at Crunch. They inspire and motivate me to work harder than last time and KEEP SHOWING UP. 💪💪

For transparency, the last photo here is me in April of 2020 and added here so that I NEVER forget where I came from EVER!

Hubby surprised me with tickets to go see the movie! I haven't pulled this shirt out of the closet in eons so to say I was shocked at how big it was is an understatement! I did my best to style it - what do you think!? 😅Plus a little bonus on a Sunday since that's the only old picture I could find of me wearing the shirt!

21/02/2024

I have a waist. ☺️

😔 HW: 275lbs (probably higher, wasn't weighing)
✂️ SW: 245lbs
💪 CW: 155lbs

Currently trying to build muscle 💪

Second Lift Heavy February workout done ✅ I felt really solid about all of this but let me tell you, walking home from the gym was quite the challenge 😂😂

Also, I know the inner/outer thigh machines are called abductor and adductor but I just labeled them what they're called at the gym 😂

04/02/2024

I started my Lift Heavy February Challenge yesterday and I'm off to a great start 💪 swipe for my starting progress pic and the workout I did. Not too shabby. Oh, and I also broke my 5K record for a 2nd week in a row. AND I signed up for the Transformation Challenge at so it's time to kick some serious @$$ in the gym 💪💪

01/02/2024

😁See that smile?! Another major life change in the books! But this time, it was within MY control. More to come on that later. For now, I'm enjoying this absolutely perfect walking weather after those freezing temps. If it stays like this all February, I'll be a very happy girl ☀️

I want a nice pair of hot pink workout leggings that aren't see-through! Recommendations?

23/01/2024

I need your help! I'm getting ready to do a loose skin update video for my YouTube channel (link in bio if you're curious) - which of these shorts should I wear, the black high-waisted b***y shorts or the pink ultra high-cut b***y shorts? I find them both equally ridiculous 😅

15/01/2024

Brrr 🥶🥶🥶 Got in a 5K at the gym before the snow started, still hated all 5 seconds that I was outside in ZERO degrees. It looks pretty, but it's too cold. The kind of weather that calls for chili in a toddler bowl for this bariatric gal 😋 When will winter be over?
