After The Weight

After The Weight

My name is Melanie,
Throughout my life, I have faced my fair share of struggles and setbacks. But it was the battle with my weight that truly tested my resolve. I understand the mental and emotional toll that accompanies weight loss, which is why I'm passionate about guiding others through this journey. From a starting weight of 258 I have successfully lost 90 lbs and have maintained while learning sustainable living, nutrition and balance. It is my goal to give all my experiences and tips so that others can enjoy healthy sustainable living “After the Weight”.

    ❤ sure everyone wants to be skinny but I want to be healthy too. I’ve struggled for most of my life. The last 15 years the most. It took a lot for me to ask for help. When my mobility became affected, that was it! Using all what is available short of surgery.

    Not at all! Gotta work on those math skills. Shouldn’t be more than 400 if you use the scoop of protein powder. Minus the protein powder about 300. 100 calorie Greek yogurt, 1 tbs pb 100 calories, 2 scoops collagen 50 calories and an Apple 80 calories

    I hope this isn't too sensitive a question, you are an absolutely gorgeous woman. I've been watching lots of weight loss videos and seeing women who've lost 100+ lbs, many with loose skin and skin removal, etc. I notice that a lot of women who have been super morbidly obese have a very masculine body shape - rectangle or even with shoulders broader than hips, little to no curves, thinner legs, etc. I'm curious if there is a hormonal aspect that causes the adipose disorder in the first place, that also affects the normal development of a more commonly feminine shape. Wondering if it's something you have any insight into having experienced it yourself. You look great and happy for your weight loss success! Wishing you many healthy years ahead!

    Yes this helps! A lot! I was just approved by my dr and insurance to get wegovy and im now doing more research into the specifics of being on it and im realizing its really horrifying how LITTLE education ppl are getting from the dr that prescribed it! If my dr had said these few things to me it would've helped so much! But i had to scour YT and come across it by chance from a regular person. Its shameful how drs are handing these GLP's out without the proper education.

    Hello, Have been on Ozempic for 10 weeks. 4 weeks at 0.25. 4 weeks at 0.5. 2 weeks at 1 ml and no weight drop or appetite suppression. Before taking Ozempic I was on Saxenda in March for 4 weeks and I lost 13 lbs and appetite suppression within 24 hours. I will try the Ozempic for 6 more weeks as per my doctor. It cost $270 Canadian and will try Trizepatide in Sept if no change. It cost $500 per month but I'm guessing it's worth a try. Only good thing on Ozempic is no side effects.

    1 pound ground turkey sausage 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 2 cups cottage cheese 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder salt and pepper 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional 1 (8-count) tube Grands biscuits, flaky layers Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Brown sausage in a large nonstick pan, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once sausage is completely cooked, sprinkle flour on it. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Blend together cottage cheese and milk till smooth.Add garlic powder and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add cheese and add To sausage to simmer Let gravy cool slightly and it will thicken and be easier to scoop. Separate each biscuit into 2 pieces. Press each biscuit piece into a muffin cup, pressing it up the sides as much as possible. Fill biscuit cups with sausage gravy. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool a few minutes and then run a knife around the edges and lift out of cups.

    I be love that you give ideas for more protein and am thankful for the tips. However in today’s world of hyperinflation it’s almost impossible to get anything except what is affordable regardless of whether it’s completely healthy for you or not. Unfortunately it just life as it is now. It’s either pay your light bill or buy expensive groceries.
