I started my weight loss journey October 1, 2022, after I hit my heaviest weight of 207 lbs. I am 5’4” and already had two spinal fusions. I went to a weight loss clinic desperately looking for help, due to thyroid disease, menopause, and two back surgeries the weight gain was getting worse. I was lucky enough to get on Mounjaro.
In one year, with hard work and carefully tracking my food intake I was able to lose almost 70 lbs. Then Mounjaro was no longer available to be prescribed for weight loss.
I continued to maintain my weight on my own. Due to my thyroid disease and menopause, that proved to be challenging and I gained 20 lbs back in a matter of 6 weeks. As I researched my options (that wouldn’t break the bank) I came across Emerge. They have been a blessing for me.
I have been able to get my weight back off. I am currently at 140lbs, my goal weight is 135lbs.
I know with my continued hard work and the help from Emerge I will be at my goal weight in no time.
This journey has not been easy, I faced challenges all the time. From food noise and feeling frustrated when I didn’t see the number on the scale drop. My goal was to push through all those up’s and down’s, and stay focused on the end results. I pray Emerge can continue to help people like me. I know my weight challenges will never go away. Once I hit my goal weight, I plan on staying with Emerge for maintenance, as long as the FDA doesn’t interfere.
