A few years after my last child was born, I got into exercise and counting calories to go from 190 to 130. It happened so easily in my early 30s!!
Fast forward a few years after that, and my sports mom era was in full swing. I lived in a gym and rarely cooked meals at home. I didn't have time to exercise anymore, and before I knew it, I'd gained a LOT of weight. I tried all sorts of diets, pills, powders, patches, and even prescription pills from my doctor. Those prescriptions did work, but the side effects were horrendous! If they didn't make my blood pressure go sky high, they made me so moody and not fun to be around. I couldn't do that anymore! My Dr did check to see if my insurance would cover GLP-1s, but they only covered if my A1C was 5.7 or higher. Mine was 5.6. What a slap in the face!!
Fast forward two years to May of 2024 (now 46 years old), I started doing some research into compound tirzepatide. I came across the Emerge Facebook page, and I read all the posts and finally took the step to join.
June 4th, I took my first shot. I was hoping I'd lose some weight, but I'm not going to lie, I honestly figured it would be another failed attempt since nothing ever seemed to work for me.
As I went week to week, my mind set just started changing. My brain thought differently, I didn't obsess over food anymore. My stomach didn't growl and hurt non-stop. This medication was the real deal!!!
As I worked my way up in dosage, I just couldn't believe this was working so well for me! January 1st, 2025, I stepped on the scale, and it read I was 60lbs down!!! I'm currently at 10mg and have really only had some slight tiredness and occasional constipation for side effects.
My journey isn't over, I still have 30-40 lbs to go. But, I know I can do it with the help of tirzepatide and Emerge!!
