Heather Davis of Waubun, Minnesota, struggled to lose weight due to her busy lifestyle, high cortisol levels, perimenopause, and turning 40. Despite following a weight management plan with regular exercise, water intake, and balanced diet, she wasn’t seeing the desired results until she was prescribed Wegovy, a weight-loss medication. Two years later, she has lost 80-85 pounds, surpassing her initial goal of 165 pounds. She credits the medication, along with lifestyle changes and support from her provider, Brenda Norby, for her success. Norby emphasizes the importance of sustainable lifestyle changes to maintain weight loss.
Davis was initially concerned about giving up sweets and fried foods but found that she could still enjoy them in moderation with the help of medication and coaching. Her motivation to keep up with her teenage twins and improve her quality of life drove her to continue on her weight loss journey. Davis believes that there is a stigma attached to using medication for weight management, but she wanted to share her story to show that sometimes an extra push is needed to overcome obstacles.
The process hasn’t been easy for Davis, but she encourages others to put in the work and seek help when needed. Norby also stresses the importance of making lasting lifestyle changes to avoid regaining weight. Davis hopes her story serves as inspiration for those struggling with weight loss, showing that with the right support and determination, success is possible. If you are interested in weight management options, speak to your primary care provider for more information.
