As 2024 came to a close, my client Tia, who has been with me for nearly three years, sent over some remarkable progress photos along with a heartfelt message: “Thanks for everything this year. I can’t wait to see what my blood work reveals at my next doctor’s appointment.”

Tia’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. She has lost an incredible 66 pounds and achieved the following measurements:

• 11 inches lost from her waist

• 8 inches lost from her hips

• 2 inches lost from each arm

• 5 inches lost from each leg

What’s even more inspiring is that she’s now speaking with surgeons to celebrate her transformation with the ultimate gift to herself: skin removal surgery. This decision reflects her unwavering confidence in maintaining her progress and underscores her commitment to lasting change.

The Key to Tia’s Success

Tia’s results didn’t come from shortcuts or gimmicks—they came from plain and simple hard work. For 31 months, she has adhered to a structured approach of two weeks in a calorie deficit followed by one week of a diet break. She’s combined this with consistent weightlifting, walking, and, most importantly, a mindset shift that has been critical to her success.

Her journey hasn’t been without challenges. Tia shared how difficult it has been to stay committed to behavior change, especially as GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic) have become increasingly popular. We’ve shed tears together, watching friends and colleagues opt for these peptides, only to experience severe side effects and setbacks. She often notes that people who rely on those drugs don’t learn anything except how to inject themselves.

Tia’s perspective? “This is not easy, but nothing worth it is. I’m so glad for your help in doing this the natural way.”

An Inspiration to All

Tia’s dedication and resilience inspire me every time we meet. She’s proof that meaningful, sustainable change comes from a combination of effort, patience, and the right support system. Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the human spirit’s capacity for transformation.

To Tia, thank you for allowing me to share your journey. You’ve set an incredible example for others, and I’m honored to be a part of your success.
