Did you find your rings sis?

Hi Lauren. I'm 330 lbs. I'm also diabetic and the doctor just prescribed mounjaro for me for both diabetes and weight loss. I let my prescription sit at the pharmacy afraid to pick it up. Seeing this video has convinced me to start it. Thank you for sharing with us.

You don't have to EVER feel like you have to answer to anyone for your weight. This is your journey. We will be here to encourage you and cheer for you. No one has any right to shame you!

I was thinking the same thing!!!!! This is your journey. Take it day by day, feel the ups and the downs. People will encourage you, don’t let negativity get to you.

Three years ago this month I dropped my daughter off at school, said what the hell am I doing and went to the park and walked 4 laps.... Today I am down 90 pounds and at a healthy weight.... I found that walking, intermittent fasting, low carb works for me... Never felt better!

Me too. Walking and low carb. Finally got my period back after years

I am so proud of you! Old Lauren would have worked herself up into a panic. New Lauren took a few breaths to recenter herself and conquered the thing that scared her. I’ve been since the first window vlog, I am looking forward to following this new journey towards wellness. Ignore the haters and just remember you have a whole crew of cheerleaders that want to see you live your best life, whatever that looks like.

Mounjaro is the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s amazing how it shuts up all the thoughts of food and cravings. Been on it 3 months and lost 40lbs.

@@BrianAndEyadI believe healthcare has changed its restrictions on weight loss meds. To prevent diabetes and ALL it’s complications. I am on med assistance and it covers my Wegovy.

I also have PCOS and insulin resistance, so I’m with you girl. Just took my fourth mounjaro shot today. It has made me not crave food all the time and I’ve lost a good amount of weight my first month. Super excited for what’s next. Love you friend! ❤

Girl you do you and thank you for sharing your personal information. What you do is amazing and will be with you on your journey!

I’m SO proud of you!!! You are a total rockstar!❤ you are doing what so many of of us want to do!! Thank you for being brave and taking the first step!!

I've been Ozempic for 8 months ( I am a diabetic ) and my starting weight was 306 and now I'm down to 276 . The weight is coming off slowly but at least it is coming off. Good luck on your weight loss journey, remember you got this. Much love from West Virginia ❤.

thank you for sharing Lauren. You are not alone and it’s SO refreshing to have someone on social media admit they are not perfect! Cannot wait to see how Mounjaro works for you! Fingers crossed !!

I am sooo proud of you! Seriously! I think it’s so nice of you that you share what you are doing! I hope it will help you! The fact that you share your „ real live „, is what people like me love about you. And also, you don’t have the need to force your daughter in front of the camera, just so you can grow your channel. But at the same time, you still let her decide if and when she likes to make her seen. I really like you and John and the kids! Way to go! God bless you!

You are such an inspiration not only to myself but to a lot of other people. I love your positivity. Thank you for your kindness

I’m so excited for you! Can’t wait to follow your journey. I started seeing mounjaro all over TikTok recently. I already had my heart set on bariatric surgery and had gone through most of the long approval process for my insurance. Had my sadi duodenal switch surgery in September. I’m so glad there are options out now to help so many people. Thanks for always being transparent and real. You got this!!

You are a beautiful person regardless of what the scale says! I am proud of you for taking this step! You got this 💪🏻

You are truly amazing and I’m rooting for you the whole way! I am starting my weight loss journey! You got this mama ❤

I just want to say you go girl! You have been through so much and thank you for speaking up for those of us that just can’t “exercise and eat healthy” and lose all the weight 😊

Hey lady I have been taking MJ since August 6 I took 2.5 3 months been on 5 mg for November I’m down 38.4 pounds since August for a total loss of 76.8 pounds since January 13. I have about 22 pounds left to lose. MJ has been such an awesome and amazing tool to have. I was stalled on WW for 1 1/2 months my PCP prescribed MJ and I feel amazing. It’s exactly what I needed ♥️♥️♥️ Keep me posted and updated 🥰

Girl the things you say Crack me up!!! I appreciate your honesty and you sharing this. I am the same size and I am the plus size friend in all my friendships so it's so nice to have your channel and to connect with someone who feels and goes through the same struggles. I can't wait to see your journey on this!

Lauren you are sooo brave! To start a weight loss journey in front of everyone to help other people is very very brave

Sending you positive vibes girl! you've got this. Welcome to the new part of your journey

Proud of you sharing such personal information. You’re doing great! My brother is doing something very similar (or maybe it’s the same medication) and it has been very helpful to him. He is classified obese (6’4” and about 375ish pounds). He has been taking the medication for about a month now and has lost about 25 lbs. no side effects other then lack of appetite. Lots of water and definitely protein is helpful. Wishing you the very best and I will definitely be here to support you and your family! 🥰😘

Thank you for documenting your journey. I have been considering this to help me but desire so many unanswered questions. You are Appreciated!

All the very best of luck and I hope the new med is a great tools for you 😊 I’m also currently on the same journey although I tried two meds and was sick with them so now I’m following a medical bariatric program (no surgery though) I am so tired of others who feel the need to judge whatever happened to “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything” if we all just could support each other and lift each other up instead of the opposite wouldn’t it be fabulous? All the best and all the luck can’t wait to see this journey for you ❤️

You’re amazing you are helping so many thank you I’m rooting for you ❤

I’m trying to get mounjaro also. Insurance is denying ever medication. I have PCOS also. I weigh the most I ever have. I appreciate your openness and rawness. These are the videos I look for as a fellow pcos big girl. Thank you!

I’m so proud of you for taking this step. I took this step 6 months ago and I’m down 49 pounds now and I’m so happy about it that’s for sure. And it really does work and help. I will tell u I had the nausea for the first month really bad but I hung in there and now it’s way better. Only on occasion will I get really truly nauseous. And like I said I’m so proud that you did it. You will not regret it… good luck from one struggling mom to another we can do it I no we can. Our kids are our motivation and they are worth everything in life!!!!

Good luck, Lauren! You will help so many more people than your realize by your honesty. I’m sure this will be a journey filled with ups and downs. One day at a time and you will definitely get to a healthier you! ❤️

Proud of you Lauren you are an inspiration to us.

Good luck, hope it works for you. I also find it difficult to lose weight even when making long term healthy changes that everyone goes on about! I’ll be following this journey x

Excited for this journey for you!!!

💕Lauren, wishing you well on your weight loss journey please remember that you are beautiful no matter what! Love ya girl 🫶🏻

Bless you. Your courage and openness is inspiring. I have had WLS (w/ 60% regain). Have struggled with and been ashamed of my physical size/weight for most of my life. I love watching your blogs. Your authenticity is palpable. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

GIRL YES!!! Thank you for sharing this entire video!! When we start allowing the number to not control us, we take ownership and our power back to all of the stigma around it! I am a bit more than you, but it makes me so so so thankful to have you sharing your story so we do know we're not alone and that number never defines us!! For what it's worth, I literally would've estimated your # to be 75lbs lower bc you literally look SO much skinnier than I do!

I love that you are sharing this!!! Please keep us updated!! I have tried so many types of weight loss and nothing is working

Omg I’m so proud of you Lauren, I just had a baby boy 4 months ago and I’m at 337lbs. I’m desperately wanting to get my weight back down to 250lbs but it is hard so I’m right in the boat with you girl. I’m so hoping this medication shows great results for you because if so I’m definitely in 👍🏼

So excited for this journey. Watching carefully for the results

Thank you for sharing this Lauren. I've been looking into this medication. ❤️

I was prescribed this as well. I pick mine up tomorrow. I’m excited

I got approved for VSG in July then failed the psych eval a month later lol I've been pretty discouraged. Cue the "FINE, I'LL DO IT MYSELF" Tiktok sound. I have PCOS and insulin resistance and no willpower. Great combo. My doc brought up these injections last month. Can't wait to see you on it! Love that you're not giving numbers power anymore. It's helpful for us to relate when we see tangible progress.

Congratulations Lauren I know this has bothered you for years I have the same problem. Don’t worry about what some may say. You are doing this for you not them. Best my girl. Love you and the family ❤

So proud of you Lauren, regardless of how this journey goes, you are incredible and the effort you are putting in to being the healthiest version of yourself for your kiddos is wonderful! Best wishes to you frand!

Happy for you Girl!! You definitely got this 🥰

Lovely home and lovely you! Gonna look for updates ! I wish you happiness, health and lots of humor . I had sleeve surgery in 2019 at EOC in Tijuana it was wonderful experience . However I have regained 20 from old habits and stresses etc that we call life and as a emotional eater I feel this may be what I need to get me over the hump . Thanks for sharing

I'm so proud of you! I'm rooting for you 💜

Omg so excited to see you trying this. I just got prescribed this

Thank you Lauren! Im completely struggling with my weight right now. You are an inspiration! I feel so uncomfortable in my body as well, and have super low energy. I also have PCOS. Weight loss journey together!

I am a diabetic and I started this medication last week. Definitely appetite suppressant. I had a headache the 1st day and slight nausea on day 4 other than that it’s been good. Best of luck on this journey. I am looking forward to following your journey as I am on mine.

You have a lot courage doing this on your channel, good luck on your weight loss journey. I hope it works wee for you

This is why I love you. You’re just so real! I am definitely going to ask my dr about this.

Yay 🎉 so excited for you and thankful you are sharing your journey. I too went through everything to get bariatric surgery and backed out and now I'm just sitting here over 300 lbs again and its just not an option! Had a pandemic baby of my own and they are crazy.

Good luck Lauren can’t wait to see your progress

Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to hear about your results.

love this for you!! excited to see the journey!

So proud of you Lauren!

Proud of you! You’re brave and courageous and thanks for sharing!started last week on a med for obesity and insulin resistance. I like you talked about but now I’m going to be about it too!

Hi Lauren, I finally got my approval and took my first shot this Monday. I’m going back and watching your videos from when you started. So far so good, I had some insomnia last night, but nothing crazy. I’m so excited to see if I will have the great results you’ve had so far! 🎉

Thank you for sharing! I'm so interested in this also! A client of mine started a few months ago and it's going extremely well for her. You just gave me the push I needed to call my dr today and schedule an appointment. Everything you said about your eating habits is exactly how I am too ❤

So excited for you & to follow along! I started mounjaro on 11/8 😊

I believe in you Lauren!!!! You are worth it!! No matter what happens you got this!!

Lauren I’m truly happy for you, you’ve got this weight loss journey... I’m over weight too and I’ve been on every diet known to man.. I lost a lot of weight years ago and things happened and next thing I know I’m back to square one. But you’ve got an Army behind you my friend....

Yay. I'm finally got first. Lol. Good luck on your new journey. Always remember we're here for you girl. Your going to do great things.

I just took my first shot yesterday. I came across your video today so here I am! I love your content and I’m excited to see how it works for you too!

So dang proud of you! I was 241 now I’m 222! Working hard too. Your an inspiration!

That's awesome that you've started this new journey! I've never heard of this medicine before! I'm definitely going to ask my PCP about it because I'm 42, 5"1', 270 and confined to a wheelchair bc I was born with Spina Bifida. I really want to have control of at least 1 thing in my life! Best of luck sweetheart!!! You will be in my prayers for extreme success!! I love you & your family! Merry Christmas!!!🎄 ❤️

Hello from California! I am supporting you 100%! It's TIME for US to feel good inside and out! I started my Mounjaro at the end of September 22, so far -22 (as of today), just started my 7.5 dose.

So excited for you!!! ❤

Your weight is your business. People can be so mean don’t set yourself up for un-necessary criticism. You know you’re your own worst enemy. Stick with positive people. I ❤ love watching your journey and support your success’s and your failures no judgments ❤ you rock girl

You are amazing!!!! Thank you for sharing your journey.

Good luck on your weight loss journey ,You can do it just keep positive and just remember your doing it for yourself and your family especially your kids .GOD BLESS

Welcome to the MOJO club...its been a game changer medication for me. Good luck on your jorney!

Girl I have been on victosa for about a year and have lost over 230 pounds. Good luck to you! Love and hugs

I'm excited for you; you're so much stronger than you give yourself credit for; I'll be here cheering you on( or laughing alongside you)😘😉

Thank you for being so brave and sharing so much personal information. I too am and extra PCOS girl. I started Mounjaro 2 weeks ago. The first week side affect were my worst. Just took shot # 3 and just had a little nauseated and tired. I hope you are successful!

Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability!!!

Love this for you!! Remember weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint, a lifestyle change not a quick fix. U got this Lauren!!! Just in case you didn’t know, it’s not a good idea to put the used pen in the regular bin, get a sharps container &/or take the used pens back to ur pharmacy. Not good stuff for landfill.❤

Good luck Lauren! You’ve got this

Good on you for taking control. I am on Ozempic and have been for about 18mths. I find I do feel nausious like morning sickness. I find that food is not a priority in my life. I don't worry that I have missed a meal. But doesn't really interest me. Hang in there it will get better and you don't feel nausious. I feel it is a chemical imbalance is why we keep seeking food even though you are not hungry. There is a shortage of Ozempic in Australia at the moment and is very hard to get.

Lauren both my husband are on the second one you mentioned. my husband for type 2 diabetes and my daughter for weight loss. These are amazing new drugs they work extremely well. The side effects go away don't lose hope. Not only has my husband lost weight (which he needed to lose) but his blood sugar numbers are amazing. My daughter who had 6 pregnancies 3 of those were lost then had twins. Her body and her mind went to hell and back. She gained so much weight that I hardly recognized her. She has lost lots and still has more to go. Good luck

Girl, ur sense of humor...priceless♥️

Good luck Lauren! You’ve got this!! Please stop being so hard on yourself 😘

I started my shots last Sunday and I was so nervous and excited but Monday was the hardest day I was nauseous and had a headache. I hope you the best I’m so excited we are on this journey together!!!❤️😊

Can i get an update? How’s the drug doing? Did you really loose weight ?

Hey! I'm on mounjaro myself it's been 6 weeks so far. I'm suppose to be moving to the 7.5 for my next dose. I've lost almost 16lbs so far. I haven't been having the dramatic weight lose like you read about, but I'm happy to be losing at all as a food addict.

WTG Lauren! I'm excited to follow along.

I'm so proud of you, who am I to be proud of you though, I just wish I could be half as courageous as you are, thanks for sharing and as always stay safe and God bless love ya Nancy ps I'm as big as you are and I have an appointment next week I am definitely asking about that.

You got this Lauren. I pray this works for you. ❤

I’ve been on Ozempic for 4 months and I am down 37 lbs. it works great especially if you’re active which you are! I know you are taking Mounjaro but they do the same thing! So excited for you 🎉

You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

Just found your channel!!!! Best of luck with your life style change!!! You can do this!! Will follow your journey!!

Thanks friend!!

I used Mounjaro for awhile and it is fantastic! I did get bariatric sleeve surgery a few weeks ago but to get me to the weight I needed to get the surgery I used the Mounjaro. I have PCOS and facial hair and have a hard time losing weight even on Keto. Girl I know you're struggle and what you are doing is great! I wish you the best in your journey and I love this for you! Oh and if people stretch their stomachs after bariatric surgery there is a pouch reset that you can do by going back to a liquid diet and progressing back to regular foods in a week. 😉 So far I am happy with my surgery so we will see how it goes. 30lbs lost in 4 weeks.

Thank you for sharing your weight with us! They almost match mine! It sometimes feels like we are alone but I really appreciate you sharing!

@Lauren Brazee, I’m on Ozempic as a T2D and I’ve lost 54 lbs since September. Also, I bought my Helix a long time ago, using your code of course, and LOOVVVVEEEE it!

Wishing you all the best!

I’m nervous also . I’m watching this because I’m starting in the morning. Thank you for letting me know I shouldn’t be freaking out . That shot didn’t seem so bad . Thanks again!

Way to go Lauren! I love your family, I love your vlogs. Never be ashamed or embarrassed of who you are. There are many judges out there that need a piece of Jesus to calm their words and actions. You keep doing you for you and your family that is all that matters. Those of us that care will be here with you along your journey no matter what! Love to you and the fam❤❤

I’m so excited for you!!

My weight increased this summer due to 3 surgeries. Once school started I starting being more serious since it is impacting healing from my knee surgery. Lost 6 pounds in the last 9 weeks. Need to be positive to myself. At least working and showing some loss but also think have gained muscle. So I look at how the pants fit. We all got this. No matter how you go about it.

I have PCOS too and I have been considering starting this as well. I’ve seen so many people try it but they don’t have my body type so I’m excited to see how it helps you.

GOOD LUCK, Lauren!!!

So excited for you!!!
