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.

Eva + Kami are two old-ish moms kids confronting our reasons for being obese while losing weight on semaglutide and tirzepatide, and roasting our past selves. Sarcasm is our happy place. Follow us on Instagram @lessofyoupodcast.
After a friend (who is a plastic surgeon) talked Eva into starting semaglutide in February of 2023, she lost 70 pounds in 14 months, alternating between long stretches of being stalled at the same weight and consistent but slow weight loss. With the dream of being considered just overweight and not obese by the BMI calculator, Eva switched to tirzepatide after 14 months to try and reach a goal that still seems just out of reach.
A prolific eater of her feelings, Kami was tired of being uncomfortable and when she heard through a mutual friend how semaglutide had changed Eva’s life, she found a trusted medical weight loss provider and took the first step.
As Kami starts her life on semaglutide, Eva adjusts to a world with less food noise and figures out how to let go of the crippling negative self-talk.
On each episode, we connect on how our lives are changing in real time as semaglutide and tirzepatide help us be smaller people, and try to answer the bigger question for ourselves:
When there’s less of you, what is left?
