**50+ pounds down. But this photo tells an even bigger story. 🤍**
For years, Amy struggled with her weight. She was tired of feeling exhausted and breathless and wanted the energy to keep up with her kids and nephews.
And photos? She usually wanted to delete them.
Until recently.
Her 8-year-old snapped a picture of her while they were bowling, and Amy says she almost cried happy tears.
**“For once, I didn’t want to delete it.”**
🥹 THAT is the kind of win we love.
Amy has now lost more than **50 pounds**, but she’ll tell you the biggest changes have happened far beyond the scale. Her energy and confidence have skyrocketed. She’s learned to manage stress, prioritize herself, and build a healthier relationship with food.
And she did it the way she wanted to — **slowly, steadily, and with the goal of making it last.**
When she hit the same walls that had stopped her in the past, she didn’t have to figure them out alone. Our Merit team worked through the plateaus with her, helped her see progress beyond the scale, and continued adjusting the plan to fit HER life.
As Amy put it:
**“They believed in me before I believed in myself.”** 🤍
She started this journey as a single mom who was constantly giving to everyone else and running on empty.
Today, her boys get to see something different:
**A mom who isn’t just getting by. A mom who is thriving.**
Amy, we are SO incredibly proud of you. Thank you for letting us be a small part of such a big transformation. 🌷
