Being in my 40s and only 5’2”, I’ve learned that my height plays a huge role in how I carry weight. I can’t carry extra pounds — even five makes a big difference in how I feel and how my clothes fit. People often say, “You don’t need to lose weight,” but they don’t realize that for someone my size, those few pounds matter.Out of frustration, I even tried semaglutide to help with inflammation — and it was the worst decision. I ended up gaining more than when I started and felt completely off. I pushed myself harder at the gym, tracked macros, upped my protein — and for two months, nothing budged.Then I found Dr. B, and everything changed. Her program is supportive, realistic, and made for women like me — women who might not have 50 lbs to lose, but who still want to feel confident, healthy, and strong again.Now at day 35, heading into Phase 4, I’ve lost almost 10 lbs, and it’s been life-changing. I can open my closet and wear anything without second-guessing how I’ll look or feel.To every woman in her 40s who’s petite and feels overlooked — your struggle is valid. You don’t need to have a lot to lose for it to be worth fighting for. Every pound counts when it comes to feeling your best.
