I've never in all my years heard such a healthy way of looking at going on a journey to manage one's obesity rather than saying one just has to lose weight.

I just came across your video. I can't bare watching more than 5 mins of a lot of the other videos, but yours for some reason held my attention. You have sincere eyes, and conveyed much of what I wanted to know. Many thanks, and good luck on your journey.

I just started ozempic three weeks ago and I already lost 10 pounds and I so proud of myself I hope I can lose more weight thanks for your video hope to see more love you and keep it up

FINALLY a real person. Thank you for having the courage to share.

I have always been convinced that slower weightloss will produce less loose skin. Thank you for saying so and thank you for the video ❣

Thanks for sharing! Congrats on your hard work so far!

I needed to hear all this. Thanks for being so transparent and honest!!❤️❤️

Thank you for the insightful information. Great job with your consistency and weight loss! Just subscribed.

I enjoy your updates Patsy. You are very inspiring and I love your holistic approach to weight loss.

Love how real and transparent you are. 🙏

I enjoyed watching you being honest and real. So happy for your progress. thanks for making your videos.

I have to say that I have lost 100 lb via exercise and extremely healthy eating, I had PCOS and a thyroid disorder so it took me 3 full years. And I had tons of loose skin. The older you are, the longer you have been large, the more loose skin (no matter how you lose it). I am a healthcare provider and deal with many people with bariatric surgery and weight loss and can assure you (a) there is nothing you can do to avoid loose skin and (b) most people will have it. ❤️ to you.

You rock girl. You’re my hero! Keep it up. I just found you and you touched my heart in such a way I subscribed right away. I’m going to binge watch your videos now. You are so real and raw. I so appreciate you ❤

This is the most relaxing video ever!!! Your energy is so pure and honest. ❤

I love this entire video so much! Thank you for making it and sharing your experience and insights❤

Congratulations on your weight loss journey. I love your positive attitude. Just subscribed.

Patsy your loosing what best for you no one can tell what's best for you but you keep doing a great job your amazing lady . I really enjoy your honesty it refreshing to hear .You make me smile when I listen to your videos .

I just started on Ozempic two weeks ago. I was in the hospital for DKA because it worked too well. So far, I am still really nauseous and not hungry. But I have been exercising and eating so much less. It is harder to get myself to eat lately because I went from being hungry all the time to never being hungry. The scale went up and I have been freaking out even though I am eating at a deficit. I needed to hear all these things today.

I just had to tell you that your smile and eyes are so comforting. I'm so inspired!

I love how real you are. Thank you!

Awe, i dont know you at all yet seeing your face light up when you were going over the weight loss month by month made me so happy for you!!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone light up like that before, that was amazing to see!!

Glad you're back and feeling better. You look so much better. Keep up the good work. I bet you are building muscle. Remember muscle weights more than fat. I'm in my 2nd week of .75 of Ozempic. Lost 2 or 3 lbs in 5 weeks. Coming off slow, but not able to exercise yet due to back problems. Having problems with pain meds and NSAIDs effecting kidneys. Have had to cut way down on meds, and am in misery and depressed about not being able to do the things I use to be able to do. 66 years old at the end of this month and want to live to at least 80, ...but only if I'm able to move around and not be in pain. Just keep smiling. It's worth it. You're worth it.

New sub here! I also keep a time-line of weight loss! ( total loss of 90 pounds over 2.5 years...45 pounds of which was with the help of Ozempic). I now have just 16 pounds to go to reach my personal goal! I'm newly on 2 MG Ozempic due to a 5 week plateau. Great video!

Your story is incredible! Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration to me ❤

You are soo well spoken! The raw vulnerability and thought put into your words makes you very relatable to those living with many of the same issues you are. I really enjoyed this and think you would be a great OA (over-eaters anonymous) coach. It's similar to AA but for those dealing with food addictions, I have a friend that attended these in Florida so not sure if they have these in every state. Just realized I'm logged into my son's page..sorry about that.

Great job …. Thank you for your videos… appreciate your honesty ….

I hear you!! Don’t stop moving forward ❤

I appreciate you sharing your journey. I am just getting started.

I’m about to start on Ozempic after a lifetime of trying every diet imaginable, including a lot of very unhealthy ones!. I’m so done with diets! I lose, then I regain, over and over. I’ve lost and regained more than 20 kilos at least 10 times in my 61 years and it’s killing me. Like you, I suffer depression, binge eating and all my activities are things I do sitting down! I’m going to watch all your videos, I love your approach. The “best weight” philosophy has been my mindset for some time, however I have always had an “all or nothing” attitude and it’s hard to break that. Thanks for sharing so honestly. 💗

this is one of the best video of the weight loss on the this medication

Thank you for your video, I’m starting Wegovy tomorrow and wanted to get as much information and tips to help me be successful. Thank you for being honest and transparent with your journey and good luck to us all has we learned to deal with the disease of obesity.

Hello, I been on the .25 for the past 4 weeks and now my appetite has come back, it was gone for awhile. My doc said it’s time for me to increase to .50 so hopefully my appetite goes away with my first .5 injection which is next week. Thanks so much for this video ! You’re very inspiring and you and I are around the same weight but I’m actually 267. I started Ozempic four weeks ago at 272. I also like yourself deal with anxiety and depression, also binge eating as well. I am on Prozac 30 mg for depression and klopin for anxiety. Klopin causes appetite to increase which really sucks, makes me very hungry but the Prozac takes away my appetite so that helps. Anyway you are very inspiring. You have already lost a lot of weight on Ozempic. I am so glad to see that it worked for you and you had amazing results girl!!

Thank you Patsy. God bless you. I'm sending love from Australia xx 💕

New subscriber thanks for keeping it real I can relate with what you’re saying also I have several auto immune diseases plus I have a foot injury keeping me down & the depression can really mess with my weight loss efforts thanks for sharing your experience

I have just subscribe,so now I’m binge watching your channel.👍

Hello from Florida I just came upon your channel about 1 hour ago, and this is my honest opinion, your way of thinking is exactly the way I think about this obesity problem. I was prescribed wegovy in august but I have not been able to get ANY yet and I’m waiting patiently for a call from my pharmacy that they have it. I’m starting at 254 lbs and I’m 66 yrs and 5’4” I know exactly what you said in your video. I’m not going to look at it as weight loss but simply just trying trying trying not to get any bigger, it’s uncomfortable, embarrassing and depressing. I go in tonight for an overnight sleep study and I will be binge watching your videos until I fall asleep. I don’t know how to diet and I really don’t overeat, my weight is insulin resistance and have been carrying this extra weight around since 1996. I know exactly when my weight problem began. Anyway, I’ll be watching you, I love your style, your candidness. I just wish I had found you sooner. Only reason I found you is because I have been watching videos on ozempic and wegovy hoping to manifest the availability of the medication. I hope we’ll get to know each other.

Thank you so much for making this video. I just came across you. I have been on Ozempic for three months and I have lost 13 pounds. I have a friend on it who’s lost double that and I’m OK now with it coming off slow because I am 52 years old, and have been struggling for a long time, and Ozempic has been a lifesaver! It is a game changer, and my only fear is when I get off if this weight will come back, but you said some thing about pictures. I hate hate hate, hate taking pictures I feel disgusting and in my eyes I am disgusting so I’m trying to change that and now I am going to continue this journey and hopefully be where I want to be in a year. Please keep making your videos if you have any advice, please, please share.

of ALLLL my researching videos yours has been the most honest, real, direct and mentally healthy, the best video on weight loss meds just refreshing to run across a real human who can describe there journey "as a real human"thank you

Just came upon your video Thank you for this...I just started ozempic...about a month ago...this was very helpful!!! Your Awesome!!!

I hope I can replicate this on my own journey with ozempic and I’m excited to love myself and treat myself with kindness this time around. Thank you for this video, and for all the really great points you’ve made.

So helpful. Great job.

Beautiful blue eyes! A real testimony! Thank you so very much! You are definitely an inspiration ❤️

What a refreshing perspective. Finally someone taking a healthy approach to life and food. We are so much more than a number.

I really enjoy your comments and experience! I’m on month two and having slow steady progress. I’m amazed and baffled how look at food differently now. I 100% agree losing weight slowly gives more time to adjust to the mental changes. For example, I’ve noticed sadness over the loss of pleasure with food, and glad I have time to work through that while still seeing progress. I’m a hiker too, keep climbing those mountains and best wishes!

I’m currently at 237 mostly doing keto and intermittent fasting but over 4 years at least. I started Ozempic last month, I’m having trouble eating at this time. I want to enjoy this because I know it won’t last. I’m also low carb because of the diabetes. I’ve added more fruit and vegetables. I’ve enjoyed your video good luck and continued success

I am glad to find your channel. I am from Canada too and go through severe depression and anxiety and haven't been able to work for over a year and was given a different antidepressant and gained close to 40 lbs on my already obese body. I told my doctor that I have to try something because I usually only eat twice a day but still gaining. My thyroid number was elavated and he wants to check it again so it might be that but he did mention ozempic so curious if you felt really nauseous with it and if so did it go away.

Great Video!

good job, great video....

I’m thankful for your shares I’m going to ask to try this too so maybe I can take away some of my diabetic meds .Although they help with the blood but weight loss is not changing

Great progress. Quick weight loss is encouraging, but folks who lose it slow have a much better chance of keeping it off. Keep up the good work!

First of all congratulations on your success! 2nd you are absolutely stunning if no one has told you this lately, very pretty lady!

Hi there ……I have been on ozempic 2 months ….no weight loss …no side effects …..today was my first 1mg injection …….I’m not that hungry but I can’t stop eating ….hope this new dose will help me……..I do eat more when under stress …..I wish I could get it under control …..hopefully new dose will help ……..and I need to realize that if I’m not hungry food will not solve my problem…..

Awesome lady!

Wow you look great!!

You look so young. You look amazing self love along the journey

Hang in there sis! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm a nutritionist and about to start ozempic to manage my obesity so I can appreciate the gradual weight loss since rapid weight loss is not sustainable in the long term and vlcd therapies like this tend to result in rapid weight loss.

You will never be able to stop taking the new med as it’s a forever to maintain life style .

Tq for your sharing. I'm done with my bariatric in 2019, and now my weight has started to gain back because I love to eat. My doctor suggests taking Saxenda. I had already used it for about three weeks, and amazingly I managed to reduce my weight by 2kg without dieting; I just stopped eating when I fell full.

I started taking .50 for the last 4 months for diabetes. In the United States my insurance paid the total because it was first made as a diabetes drug. Lost a little weight and have seriously cut my need to stuff I started having headaches because I realized I wasn't drinking much water now I am drinking more water and the water has stopped side effects. I have been working hard the last few weeks at a job so I wanted to celebrate by indulging but I am not hungry, I do notice that when we go out I leave food on my plate like normal people for the first time in my life.

IM SO JEALOUS! GREAT JOB!

85lbs is not small!! It’s huge!!!

Ozempic 0.5 , not losing weight, because only 6 weeks on this medication, 4 weeks were at 0.25 mg. But my glucose levels are very good ! Knock on wood. Appetite is 60 % less. So let's hope l can wear back my 40 '' waist trousers. I m now at 46 '' .....damn
