I'm 42, married mom of 3 awesome kids, and I felt like I was missing out on my life. I didn't always struggle with my weight....it's been about the last 10 years that I've gained all of this, after the birth of my last baby. It came on so slowly that I didn't realize it. Last year I decided to take my health and life back and after a couple visits with my doctor it became clear that if I dint do something quickly I would probably only have weight-loss surgery as an option. So I started on Adipex, took it for two months and lost 40 lbs! It was the first time I had ever taking any meds for this issue, a part of me felt defeated, like I should have been able to do it without the pill. But as the weight started to come off something happened in my brain! I was finally able to see a new life for me...a way out! I had a complete mind shift. I've changed everything about how and what and why I eat. I also joined a gym and surprise myself with the fact that I really love it!! I've lost an additional 10 lbs on my own in the 2 months I've been off Adipex. I still have a long way to go, but I'm on my way! Started Keto way of eating today, cutting carbs is my biggest struggle. I'm also on Instagram @jendzen if anyone wants to follow me. I have met some amazing and supportive people on there and we encourage and uplift each other and most importantly, keep each other in check with accountability!!
