Even after a gastric sleeve, her weight climbed back up to 320 lbs.Going to therapy for binge eating was good, but still didn’t help her lose weight.In 2024, exhausted from trying to lose weight yet again, she thought, “screw it, if I’m going to be fat, why not just get rid of my double chin?” So she decided to have neck lift surgery and found a plastic surgeon, and that’s where she discovered GLP-1s by accident. Not long after that, she started on the medication and the rest is history.Follow Ashley on Instagram @amillerspeaksMeet Ashley’s plastic surgeon Dr. Bob BasuEva + Kami are two old-ish moms with little kids confronting our reasons for being obese while losing weight on semaglutide and roasting our past selves.

Weigh yourself every day. Don’t weigh yourself every day. Only weigh yourself at the weigh-in. Weigh yourself in the morning after you go to the bathroom. Always weigh yourself at the same time every day. Take off your shoes. Don’t wear jeans to the weigh-in. Don’t drink a lot of water on your weigh-in day. Weigh in on Friday so you can cheat on the weekend. Go to your weigh-in in the morning and not the evening. You can eat whatever you want on cheat day. I only ate zero point food all week. I starved myself this week and I bet I lost TWO pounds. Take the stairs. Park far away.  Don’t drink your calories. Don’t eat after 7 pm. Eat this not that. Learn to do push-aways. Only eat 80% of what’s on your plate. Put your food on a smaller plate to make it look bigger. Drink a giant glass of water before you eat. Eat a salad first. Eat six small meals a day. Only eat between noon and 7 pm. Skip breakfast. Don’t skip breakfast. Drink a gallon of water a day. I carry my weight well. I’m big boned. KamiSW 250, CW 212, GW 150?EvaSW 280, CW 193, GW 170The viral cookbook: What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking by Caroline ChambersEva + Kami are two old-ish moms with little kids confronting our reasons for being obese while losing weight on semaglutide and roasting our past selves.
