I have struggled with my weight my entire life despite doing everything you're supposed to be doing (physical activity and eating a balanced diet). I would lose weight when I did what would probably be described as excessive physical activity and restrictive diet and then gain the weight back when I attempted to maintain the weight loss. I've been to numerous physicians to get answers and was told that it was probably my body type and metabolism. In May 2022 I realized that I had to make a change because diet and exercise alone wasn't working and on a backpacking trip to Grand Staircase-Escalante, my weight was impeding my ability to enjoy hiking. That's when I did some research and found Sequence and had an online consultation and was prescribed a GLP-1 agonist. I started the medication on July 11, 2022 and I lost more weight in the first three weeks than I had doing four months of Hard 45 program and following the 21 Day Fix diet! It's been two years and I'm down about 70 lbs from my highest weight and I've been able to maintain this weight even while eating a more liberalized diet with a higher caloric intake. My GERD symptoms have resolved and I no longer get knee and ankle pain when I hike. I actually was able to start running again, something I wasn't able to do carrying all that weight. I'm happy that I found Sequence and the clinicians and support staff that assisted me with facilitating my weight loss journey. I can say that my body finally reflects all the physical activity and eating habits that I have engaged in since I was a teenager!
