In this walk-with-me video, I’m talking about something that’s been happening a lot lately: people keep stopping me to comment on my weight loss, and I’m down 57 pounds total. I share where I started (210 at my highest), how I was around 190 when I recommitted on January 1st, 2025, and where I’m at today (153.6 at 5’3” and 44 years old). I also chat about how I respond to compliments in 2025 when people can feel hesitant to say something—and why I personally receive it as encouragement, not an insult. I break down what’s actually been working for me: I tackled fitness first in 2024 because I couldn’t do diet and exercise at the same time (hello, willpower depletion). I kept my workouts short and realistic as a mom, built consistency, and then in 2025 I committed to carnivore/ketovore—meat, eggs, dairy, and seafood, with a couple keto “edge” days each week. I also share my simple walking habit (two times around the block nightly), electrolytes, lots of water, and my honest approach to using GLP-1s minimally as a tool to halt binge cycles when I feel out of control. My biggest takeaway: carnivore has felt effortless and gave me mental freedom around food that I never expected.
