Fall is in full swing and the Lipedema community follows suit starting first thing tomorrow morning with the Heart to Heart Conference, hosted by Lipedema Simplified, going through Sunday, 9/29/24. Join me! But first, an update (much overdue) about my GLP1 journey!
Last Friday, I was out shopping with my husband when I saw this RED SWIMSUIT still front and center in the store. You may remember when back in May, this exact one piece was part of my Spring suggestions. Well, with 4+ months of my GLP-1 journey under my belt, I thought, “let’s try it on and see if it looks any different now?” Pictures are always a great way to have your brain and eye catch up to each other. And, I’ll be the first to admit I could see a difference!
Since May, I’ve had 19 shots, most of which have been at the 5.0 dose, and I’m down 42 pounds in total, which is thrilling! It’s been a journey that started last November when I discovered my 26 food allergies (what a shocker that was) and eliminated them from my diet.
A big part of the progress has come from using the @lumen.me metabolic tracker to guide my nutrition, along with focusing on protein and staying hydrated. This combination has truly made a difference throughout this process!
I know it may sound weird but I admit I rarely look at myself in the mirror – even though I’m often in front of the camera! When I do, I am beginning to see the shift in my silhouette, especially in my thighs where my Lipedema is most visible. The reduction has been encouraging, though I’m still figuring out how to improve the aesthetic. When I find a solution, I’ll be sure to let you know!
If you want to hear more about my journey, check out this LIVE video from my visit to UCLA! I’ll be posting a video update on YouTube soon—be sure to turn on your notifications so you don’t miss it.
YAY, the Lipedema Heart to Heart Virtual Event starts TOMORROW Morning and is running from September 27 to 29, 2024. This year’s event is all about creating a holistic roadmap to living well with Lipedema and Lymphedema, and I couldn’t be more excited to be part of it. I’ll be joining the expert panel for a session titled “Self Care Isn’t Selfish,” co-hosting with Patti Cornute and Tamara Carroll on Saturday, September 28. Be sure to REGISTER NOW and join us!
WOW, I cannot believe the Bariatric Retreat 2024 in San Diego is now just a little over a month away and there’s still time to secure your spot—use my discount code CURVYGIRLBETH here to grab your ticket. I’m really excited to meet up with many of you this November, and if you need help with outfit ideas, don’t hesitate to REACH OUT. I’d love to help you feel your best!

Beth
