My Weight Loss Journey: From 216 Pounds to 140 Pounds with GLP-1 Medications
"A year and a half ago, I found myself weighing 216 pounds, struggling with limited mobility, and facing the emotional and physical toll of chronic obesity. My increasing difficulty with everyday tasks raised serious concerns that my weight was impacting my overall health. As a healthcare provider, I was keenly aware of the risks of obesity, yet I felt trapped in a cycle of frustration and failed attempts at sustainable weight loss.
In January 2024, after months of worsening symptoms, I received a life-changing diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). This revelation brought clarity to my challenges with mobility and fatigue. I realized that my weight and overall health could play a crucial role in managing my condition and improving my quality of life. I decided it was time to take control of my health.
Discovering GLP-1 medications became the turning point in my journey. These FDA-approved treatments not only helped me lose weight but also had significant anti-inflammatory effects that positively impacted my MS symptoms. By reducing my appetite and enhancing feelings of fullness, GLP-1 therapy supported sustainable, consistent weight loss. The medications also seemed to improve my overall mobility, which I attribute to both the physical relief of carrying less weight and the potential anti-inflammatory benefits of the treatment.
Over the course of my journey, I lost 35% of my body weight, dropping from 216 pounds (summer 2023) to an average of 140 pounds (winter 2024). This transformation has been profound—not just in the numbers on the scale but in how I feel every day. I’ve regained energy, improved my mobility, and reduced the strain on my body. What’s more, the confidence and freedom I’ve gained have allowed me to live life more fully, both personally and professionally.
As a Certified Nurse Practitioner at Tried and True Weightloss, I am deeply passionate about helping others overcome similar struggles. I know the physical, emotional, and psychological challenges of weight loss firsthand, and I also know the incredible rewards of reclaiming your health and vitality. My journey has shown me the importance of personalized care, compassion, and expert guidance—values I bring to every patient relationship.
