“I enjoy all of your guests, I absolutely loved this one with Paige. Thank you Paige for being so honest and raw. I hear you! I have had the same battles, self-sabotage, and negative self-talk! I lost close to 100 pounds in 2015 and it had slowly started to creep back on (about 30ish pounds). I would lose some, gain some. Blah, blah, blah. I will be 52 this year. I have checked hormones. I lift heavy 4-5 days a week. Weight still stayed up. I would say most days I was at least 80% clean. I finally took the plunge with semaglutide. I started very very slowly so my side effects stayed at a minimum. I have been pleasantly pleased. It has made me feel success again. Now I switched to tirzepatide. Less side effects and more weight loss. I am still losing slowly. I have still had plateaus, but am down 20 pounds. From what I am hearing my body is working towards a new “set point”. The group that I am doing this through says that once you reach your goal, you work backwards slowly working off your dose and spreading out doses. Who knows of it is the “answer”. I just know that I was doing what I had in the past and it wasn’t working. I needed this boost and pray I am able to maintain when finished. Slow and steady wins this race. Sorry I got long winded. But thank you Paige for being real. So many of us feel where you are. Good luck and yes I am biased, but I hope you give it a try. Not for a quick fix, but it definitely helps in the journey! Hugs!”
