Kami finally busted through the plateau, now hovering at 200 at officially down 50 lbs. Eva’s creeping toward 100 lbs lost, and had to try on size 8 jeans for the first time since 5th grade.
For the record, yes, we’ve lost weight, but we’re still the same people on the inside. Stop asking if we “feel great.”
We love that we’re inspiring people to take the plunge! Shoutout to @jennpurrr on Instagram for letting us know we’re the reason she started.

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?
