Previously I consistently finished sweets and other food that I didn’t even like, MJ has changed that, if something doesn’t taste good I can stop and throw it away. What a change! I feel so much more in control. Thank you for all your support. Walked 5 miles this morning.🚶♀️🚶♀️
I started mj in October. I was down 20 lbs before I started mj and am now down 35. I’m so thankful for your channel and the guidance and advice that you share. You are an inspiration. I now can see the light and hope to be down 100 lbs like you someday. You were so real and raw in this video. I can really relate to it and the feelings of insecurity in my body. I just recently bought a size smaller pant and they fit!!! 🤯What a win. I walked 2 miles today. 9 months ago, I couldn’t do a half mile. I’m so proud of the progress that I have made.
🏋🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️I am so glad you are not letting the haters get to you. It says so much more about them than it does you. You are literally changing hundreds of lives by walking through this journey with us. Never let anyone dim your shine, Countess! 💕
I’ve been watching your videos for several months now, but this is my first time commenting. I just want to say what an inspiration you are to all of us and I appreciate your authenticity ❤
💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻(Zumba Dancing) The meet and greet definitely changed me too, I have friends that I can talk to with this GLP 1 journey 😊 And thank you for all the love you send us in your videos we feel the same 💕
I indulged a little Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the day after. What I did differently this year was I sent all of the leftovers home with family members, making it easier to get back on my meal plan on 12/27.
Thank you! I'm balling right with you! I've been on this journey for 3 months and I feel such a freedom from my mind. I gained a pound, 1 pound!! Because of small plates, not feeling like I have to finish, and just frankly not feeling like I'm missing out by not eating something. I prioritized the things I was excited about, and left the rest. It feels SO FREEING!!! THANK YOU
Thank you for being so raw!!! Went off plan for about 7-8 days, not completely, but much heavier foods. Gained 3. Not too bad considering. I feel so much better and thank the Good Lord for it!!! Happy New Year!!!
This ZEPBOUND has been a game changer! My relationship with food has definitely been following another drummer. On ZEPBOUND since end of June 2024 down 44 lbs on 30 Nov!💃🏽I am so grateful for your sharing each day and hope that you will continue. THANK YOU Lady C!😊🎈
This video has resonated with me more than any of the others, not that they are not great. It’s the change of thought process towards food that has been so huge! I love you, I love your channel and I thank God for you! May 2025 be even more glorious for all of us! 🏃♀️
Walking 🚶♀️ lifting!!! Today I returned to walking today after a two week rump. You are amazing and listening to you while I walk is my highlight of my day.
Thank you Elizabeth for being authentically yourself. I was so moved by your candid discussion about so many things I relate to including the "sneak" eating, never being satisfied, etc. I am only 6 weeks into my Zepbound journey (15 lbs down now at 5.0 mg) but have no cravings or want to eat junk. It is amazing to not want any of the many cookies I make for family. Also, I truly connect toulouse your spirit as I am your sister-in-Christ. I hope I can someday meet you personally. Happy New Year to you. -LadyDi- 🚶♂️
🚶♀️I started Wegovy 3 mind so ago and I haven't even told a lot of my closer friends, because I didn't want to deal with any potential pushback or judgement. Elizabeth, I'm so grateful to have found you! I feel like I've found a kindred spirit in this journey. What you described today about Christmas eating brought me to tears as well, because that was SO my experience this year. I made everyone's favorite fudge this year, as always. I sampled literally a teeny crumb, thought that was good and then walked past the plate all day and was never even tempted again. I indulged in a couple more pieces at our actual holiday event, but I threw out what was left today! There was some left, because I didn't eat or want it. Thank you, God, for the glp1. I'm in awe everyday at the changes I'm experiencing and your strength, positivity and your story are so uplifting and encouraging! 🤗
I never miss your videos! Being on MJ for 16 months and loosing 85 pounds my view is this ... I have found the me I always wanted to be and didn't even know it! I didn't know who I would be at this weight as I never was before. What I do know is that I love the me I am now and am proud of me :) God Bless you and your family this holiday season and, along with all of you, looking to rock it in 2025!
🏋🏾♀️Yassss, Elizabeth! Thank you for another amazing video. You are such an incredible soul. I was tearing up right with you while watching. You are not alone, and thanks to you we don’t feel alone either. Thank you for this community you’ve created for us. And thanks for also talking about the GI issues while off plan this week. My tummy is so mad at me! I hope you do go to Seattle. I will meet you there. That is my hometown! I was sad to miss Vegas, so the option to meet in Seattle would be amazing!
Thank you for all you do. My daughter's birthday was on the 26th of Dec, and she requested the melting pot for her birthday dinner. I didn't deny myself really anything, but you are so right. The cheese and chocolate are my favorite parts of the meal, and it was just meh for me this time around. I did have bread and not a lot, but yesterday I knew it affected my inflammation, so we went to Sea World and I got 15,000 steps in and that helped a lot along with H2O. Be blessed family ❤
🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲 I’m currently riding a bike but once the weather gets better I’m going to walk!! Thanks for being you… you help me every time I listen to you ❤Your a real blessing
🏊♀️ 🚴🏻♀️ 🏃🏼♀️ 🏋️♀️ 🧘♀️ Rode my bike while watching as part of my triathlon training and healthy lifestyle goals. 😘 Thanks for sharing the good with the bad, Elizabeth. It lets me know I’m not alone when things aren’t always smooth sailing!
I found your channel by accident after I started my GLP1 11/12/24 and am now a dedicated follower on all your platforms. Thank you for this video as raw as it was for you it was inspiring! Bless you!
I've been lurking for a while. I'm scheduled to start Mounjaro in January. Of course I'm overweight, but my reasoning is I just got diagnosed with T2D this year along with Hashimotos and Leaky Gut.I love to pump iron! I got 12 pound dumbbells for Christmas. I'm almost 72 years old. I love watching your videos. I've gathered so much information from your videos. I'm going through a Naturopath for my prescription. I'm hopeful this will get my A1c and glucose numbers down into the "Normal" range along with my BMI. I'm willing to do the work it requires and excited to see that needle move on the scale this next year.
🏋🏻♂️ The Vegas meet up for me was the start of my holiday season feeling joyful, blessed, grateful and appreciative to meet you in person along with the others who were so kind and thankful that we had the opportunity to spend time together which is one of the most precious moments of the holidays ❤. Happy New Year 🎉
You are a true inspiration and I appreciate your REALNESS in every video. I started Zepbound February 2024 and I thank the Lord for your videos - you have been with me through it all even though you don't know me. You have been my mentor, cheerleader, and support every step of the way. I have referred you to anyone who will listen. Keep on keepin' on Girl - God has put you right where you need to be. Thank you for everything! 💖🚶🏋♀
Thanks for sharing... I started mounjaro one week ago with 154kg now I'm 148kg 6kg dropped on one week, around 13 pounds... I can totally rely on the on and off button... I binged lots of food... and to have the capacity to say... it's enough it's amazing...
Thank you so much for this video! I'm also a born again Christian and have struggled with feelings of self worth because of my weight but have tried not to because we are fearfully and wonderfully made ❤ I'm on my second month of 2.5 zepbound and I'm so looking forward to experiencing what you have shared in my journey!! I really was encouraged. My husband honestly has always loved me and supported me on countless diets and he told me recently he's noticed a positive change in me in the fact that already I'm trying new things especially with our 5 grandchildren. I'm slowly becoming more outgoing and even noticed depression isn't there anymore either!🏊🏊🏊
I used to get way too excited about food before, it was just wrong! Now, it's like, well, it's good, but... Now I love how if I have an off plan day, the next day I can get right back on track instead of going off the rails! I love that you talk about your struggles, because I can relate. Thanks for being real!
🚶♀️it’s awesome hearing you talk about the food noise and the changes we’re going through. It’s hard to talk about it with people who haven’t experienced it. I ate my favorite foods but ot in excess and didn’t feel the need for it after a day or two. It was mind-blowing.
One of the things I have learned since taking Ozempic is that I try to eat something before I go out to eat. Mostly, my first meal of the day will be the one that will trigger diarrhea. So if I know I will be eating out, I try to have my first meal at home, and that helps the triggers
I had bought myself some really tiny Christmas bowls at Homegoods and used them a lot. I felt happy with how pretty the bowls were, and I think I enjoyed eating out of them more because they seemed "special."
🚴♀️🧘🏼♀️ thank you for the encouragement - It is always wonderful to read others comments and posts in the private group - such a positive community you've created for everyone 😊
I'm with you. I let myself enjoy the holiday foods. I put on 3 lbs but back on the wagon starting today. I'm heading out to resume my walking right after watching you. Hugs to you! 🚶♀️🫶
You are amazing ! Your journey has been such inspiration for me ! So thankful GOD has chose you to be a vessel of encouragement because this journey is not for the weak ! 🏋🏽♀️ P.S .. I can’t wait until there is a meet in the DMV 😬
I have to say by finding your channel- I start cry at all the things that you say that I relate too! Can’t stop and won’t stop! Thought that I was the only one who felt this way before taking Zepbound, to know that this is common blows my mind! Thankful for finding you and looking forward to 2025 feeling what I should have been! 🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️
I'm planning to start Zepbound in the new year. Insurance won't cover it but I'm going to use the savings card and see how it works for me. My doctor thinks I will be a perfect candidate for it.
I did that almost a year ago. It had been going well. I am down 38 lbs. and feel good. It's expensive, but not having that food chatter is one of the many benefits I am happy to invest in.
🏊♀ I plan to get back in the gym pool and doing chair yoga. I had my lower back MRI today so the ball is rolling in regards to getting my back figured out. We have three little dogs that would LOVE daily walks if I could do it! Thank you for todays message. Always seem as if you are talking directly to me. My shots are stuck at FEDEX. Were supposed to be here Friday but now saying tomorrow. Fingers crossed and prayers said that the delivery happens!!! I am ready to get back at it!
Keep being you boo ❤ not everyone has to like you and that’s okay! You should have a Miami meetup if you ever com to Florida. Today I will be going to my Zumba class for an hour of fun excercise💃🏻
🏋️♀️Yes! I’m with you regarding not getting the high off of food. I can have some and walk away! The changes in my brain are even more impressive than the weight loss.
🏋️♀️🏋️♀️ love to run but need to add more weights into my regimen. Thanks for your dedication to giving us videos everyday. Something I always look forward to.
Countess, I can't miss any of your videos. You are my guiding light and daily inspiration. I have actually, lost another 3 or 4 pounds during these dangerous Christmas holidays. That's a first and because of your videos. There's way too much tempting food everywhere. This time I was NOT TEMPTED. I stuck with my meal plans and more activities. YEHHHH Can't even believe that I walked over 11K steps twice this week and that equals a little more than 5 miles in a day. Plus I actually did some weights with my adult son. WHO IS THIS PERSON?? He was very proud of my accomplishments and so was I. After being morbidly obese for decades and living in complete DENIAL....its a brand new me. I CAN + I will with GOD's help and with you voice. Yes the Mourjano shots are a miracle, and I never thought I'd stick to a real lifestyle change. Yes I'm going to keep going because Im still about 30 pounds from a healthy BMI. Yes I am doing the work but listening to your journey has been life changing for me. No pressure but please don't stop because I personally need you. Only had 1/2 of one very greasy pastry that hit my stomach like a ton of bricks. Wow ran to the toilet but thought I had gotten strep throat or a cold or anything but food. Then hear this video and Oh OH its the food. Praying that you might be able to come near Central Florida, I live in So Fl but I'll drive anywhere in Florida to see you. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Another Sister Tuttle here 🐢. Need to walk more 🚶♀🚶♀and do more weights, 🏋♀🏋♀🏋♀ love it! Funny but realized how great i felt afterwards. LOL that a first for me but will continue. Merry Christmas and I can't wait for a healthier 2025 New Year.
I use smaller plates. I also found i enjoy my meals more when I start with a prettily assembled plate. When my food looks good at the start, it makes me enjoy it more!
🏃🏾♀️ 🏋🏾♀️ Today I am hopping on the bike and hopefully my treadmill will be fixed today. I am going to focus on running more this coming year and lifting.
🚶♀️🏋♀️ I will be walking the doggos today, a short walk for the post-surgery dog and longer walk for the other, then finish painting a room. I will never understand why people want to bash on someone; don't follow them or watch them if you disagree with their views. People can be jerks...often. Glad the meet and great lifted your spirits!
🧘♀️🏋🏼♀️🎾🏌🏻♀️🏊♀️🏃♀️ - Pilates has been my go to, but in 2025 I’m also going to add some weight training, get back into playing league tennis, take more golf lessons, swim when it heats up (and maybe even become a certified water aerobics instructor) and start running (I signed up for Rock N Roll 10k in February). Today I did do a Pilates class and later did an iFit session on my treadmill. Thank you for being vulnerable. I love that you are taking ownership of the “new” you and recognizing how much you have changed, inside and out - Shannon
🏋️♀️I bought a little set of hand weights. Going to get in habit of using them! How original am I to use the stuff we buy!! You are loved and we’re thankful for you!!
🥦👠Thank you for your frank talk. I know that, having spent years in an unbalanced relationship with food, I am addicted to this most common of all commodities. Hightening awareness of what is headed to my mouth is the only way to stop a downward spiral. Well done you on your journey.
🏋🏻♀️ definitely saw a vast increase in inflammation after eating holiday goodies, but getting back to eating better has been a lot easier than getting back into my gym routine 🥵
🏋️🏃♀️. I noticed a difference in my eating this holiday season. First, food, or getting full I should say was not the goal. I experience fullness every day now (thank God) so I was focused on having the foods I love that I don’t get often. But I was more focused on enjoying it with my family. Before I would storm eat a massive amount of food as soon as I got a chance to get away from everyone. How sad that was. I feel more in control than ever like today. My mom got her red velvet cake out of the refrigerator to give everyone a slice. I said Mom I’ve had enough sweets for the week so I choose not to have a slice today. That’s a huge victory for me.
Because of other health issues I can only work out for a few minutes at a time then have to do a breathing treatment but I’m planning to add weight lifting to what I do 🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️ I hope you do pick Seattle as one of your meet and greets because I will be there. Thank you for all your encouragement. You don’t know how much it truly helps.
🏋♀🏋♀🚶♀Oh Countess, we are so grateful for you! You are truly a light in the darkness!I look forward to your videos everyday. You are the vessel because He is speaking to us through you. To God be the Glory. I wasn't feeling well for the past couple of days but dragged myself to the gym this morning with hubby. We're so glad we went. I, too, ate off plan but was able to recalculate praise God. This is a journey and not a destination. We will always be on the move with this GLP1 lifestyle. Stay true to yourself my sister in Christ and fellow GLP1 friend. May you and your family Have a Merry & Blessed New Year!! Lastly, I just received the massenyzymes & magnesium breakthrough.
OMG!! 😂😂 I love your honesty. I made the mistake of equalling salami and other high fat charcuterie meats as lean meats to make up the protein portion during the appetizer. BIG MISTAKE!! Just awful - awful - awful!!! Never again. Sulfur burps, upset stomach, nausea and near vomiting, and finally the diarrhea to finish it off. Miserable and on LMT and soups for three days. It’s like a terrible hangover that runs deep deep.
🚶♀️ late Merry Christmas!! And on fir a wonderful new year! Thank you so much for sharing your life! Ive got a long way to go in my journey..but im down 35 lbs...the mental change is the biggest! I love to be able to eat "cheat" food. And then next meal be right back..without the struggle to do it. I find that I'd rather do activities than eat foods..haha. Im going to walk in a bit..ive got a cold/flu so it will be a low key walk.
I’m right there with you!! Not the same euphoria w/ food yay !! I enjoy some things but it’s not the same! I went and walked 3 miles on Christmas Day between gatherings 😱 who am I?? Lmao feeling full, not obsessed with eating.
I just have to tell you this each time you talk about having gastrointestinal issues at a party I always play the scenario in my mind of you trying to find a bathroom and someone comes up to you and says oh it’s the countess! I imagine you saying, move b pushing her out of the way.😂
🚶♀️ 🏋️ I am so bummed to have missed Vegas. I had a very important funeral which obviously took priority. But that sense of community and visceral connection would have been much needed and appreciated. Lone wolf here. But not so alone. Thank you for the video, encouragement group, and the extra 8 minutes on the treadmill 💖. Merry Christmas.
Boo on the haters!!!! I loved how you were so in tune to your eating at Christmas Eve!!! You were on point!!! I ate a piece of a beautiful Beef Wellington for Christmas dinner. My friend is an amazing chef!! I was fine. Last night there was a gathering for an out of town friend. I allowed myself to make a plate of beautiful of appetizers not holding back. It was lovely. I even ate a CC cookie that was yummy and come to find out it was the cookies I baked and gave to my friend. lol Love you friend. Come to Dallas,TX!!!
Thank You for being authentically You!!You being so real in this journey is helping me immensely!!Keep on Keeping on Continued success for us in 2025 GodBless🌝❤️
Definitely secret eating, always felt guilty after. Or car eating after grocery shopping. I'm feeling so much better not having that food noise or appetite.
I’m right there with you!! Not the same euphoria w/ food yay !! I enjoy some things but it’s not the same! I went and walked 3 miles on Christmas Day between gatherings 😱 who am I?? Lmao feeling full, not obsessed with eating. 🏋️ 🚶♀️ 🏋️
🚶♀️🚶♀️➡️Praying this will not offend you……have you ever considered that the “embarrassment” issue you experienced at your friend’s house MIGHT be related to how much magnesium you take? I have thought about this for a while, every time you discuss this “side effect”. I take daily magnesium supplements also, but mine are a reduced dosage to what yours are and I have never had your issue. Just a suggestion; something to consider??? Nothing to lose by experimenting with a lesser dosage? I’m happy to tell you that I completely enjoyed a fabulous Christmas dinner with family and did not hold back. While losing 53 pounds over the past 10 months I have learned so many important lessons and have a much better relationship with food. Back on track now and only 7 pounds away from goal. I’m 76 years old and back to my college days weight/sizes/body.😊😊😊❤. And YES! you are not alone and we do care about you.
🏋🏾♀️🏋🏾♀️ - please do a Florida meet up! Also I’ve been using the GEM bites and I have noticed a difference….but I think I’ve realized I like conventional capsule multivitamins - do you have any recommendations/codes for conventional vitamins? TY! 🫶🏾
I need to love walking, I need that accountability. That’s what I wanna do moving forward for the first time starting this six months ago I’m just now experiencing weight gain like 3 pounds or 4 pounds. I’m not happy about that. Yes, I know it could be caused from salt/water retention. The pipes being backed up in my gut. I totally get all that I did overdue during the holiday by eating sweets, I didn’t over eat the food though. Will I beat myself up over this? Not! Just go back to square one and be true to yourself and tell yourself it’s OK stick with your little goals that you’ve made, don’t make them so big You can’t reach them. I learned than that four years ago. Good luck to you, ladies and gentlemen, in your health journey, I wish you the very best blessings, 🙏♥️
🏋️♀️🚶♀️Due to getting Covid, I missed Christmas Eve, Christmas day and won’t be celebrating Christmas with my family till the Sat. After New Years. My Son dropped off a doggie bag with 2 stuffed shells to meatballs, squash, chicken with ziti and broccoli, homemade mac & cheese, and various cookies. I looked at it and wanted to vomit but waited till the next day and a small amount for lunch and a small amount for supper and I mean a small amount the sauce that was on the stuffed shell tasted like somebody put a tablespoon of sugar on it. I had to rinse it off so weird. I ate a cookie each day, but that was it. I’m looking forward to seeing my family next Saturday but not looking forward to eating any food. Yes that sounds extremely weird, but it is true! thanks for sharing your holiday woes Elizabeth!
Previously I consistently finished sweets and other food that I didn’t even like, MJ has changed that, if something doesn’t taste good I can stop and throw it away. What a change! I feel so much more in control. Thank you for all your support. Walked 5 miles this morning.🚶♀️🚶♀️

Down 27lbs! Thanks for the encouragement🏋️🚶🚴♀️❤️❤️❤️

Thank-you for all your uplifting videos! You’ve been such a blessing in my Zepbound experience. 🏋🏼♀️
You are a true inspiration and I appreciate your REALNESS in every video. I started Zepbound February 2024 and I thank the Lord for your videos - you have been with me through it all even though you don't know me. You have been my mentor, cheerleader, and support every step of the way. I have referred you to anyone who will listen. Keep on keepin' on Girl - God has put you right where you need to be. Thank you for everything! 💖🚶🏋♀
Thank you for doing Videos on those days. I dont celebrate but i was sooo glad.❤You are so loved ❤
Thanks for sharing... I started mounjaro one week ago with 154kg now I'm 148kg
6kg dropped on one week, around 13 pounds...
I can totally rely on the on and off button... I binged lots of food... and to have the capacity to say... it's enough it's amazing...
We are so grateful for you!! Thanks for inspiring us everyday! ❤. 🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️
Thank you so much for this video! I'm also a born again Christian and have struggled with feelings of self worth because of my weight but have tried not to because we are fearfully and wonderfully made ❤ I'm on my second month of 2.5 zepbound and I'm so looking forward to experiencing what you have shared in my journey!! I really was encouraged. My husband honestly has always loved me and supported me on countless diets and he told me recently he's noticed a positive change in me in the fact that already I'm trying new things especially with our 5 grandchildren. I'm slowly becoming more outgoing and even noticed depression isn't there anymore either!🏊🏊🏊
I used to get way too excited about food before, it was just wrong! Now, it's like, well, it's good, but... Now I love how if I have an off plan day, the next day I can get right back on track instead of going off the rails! I love that you talk about your struggles, because I can relate. Thanks for being real!
Thank you for being so candid. God bless you. 🚶♀️
🚶♀️it’s awesome hearing you talk about the food noise and the changes we’re going through. It’s hard to talk about it with people who haven’t experienced it. I ate my favorite foods but ot in excess and didn’t feel the need for it after a day or two. It was mind-blowing.
One of the things I have learned since taking Ozempic is that I try to eat something before I go out to eat. Mostly, my first meal of the day will be the one that will trigger diarrhea. So if I know I will be eating out, I try to have my first meal at home, and that helps the triggers
I had bought myself some really tiny Christmas bowls at Homegoods and used them a lot. I felt happy with how pretty the bowls were, and I think I enjoyed eating out of them more because they seemed "special."
I'm in Florida from the UK for 3 weeks in April/May! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the meet-up coincides with that 🥰
🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♀️💃🏻walking and dancing around lol while I clean 😁
THANK YOU FOR THE CHRISTMAS VIDEOs! I didn’t few alone in my journey during that time!❤
🥾🥾🏋️🚶♀️hiking, lifting and walking!!!!!
🚴♀️🧘🏼♀️ thank you for the encouragement - It is always wonderful to read others comments and posts in the private group - such a positive community you've created for everyone 😊
I'm with you. I let myself enjoy the holiday foods. I put on 3 lbs but back on the wagon starting today. I'm heading out to resume my walking right after watching you. Hugs to you! 🚶♀️🫶
This was like you were talking about me. Love listening
You are amazing ! Your journey has been such inspiration for me ! So thankful GOD has chose you to be a vessel of encouragement because this journey is not for the weak ! 🏋🏽♀️
P.S .. I can’t wait until there is a meet in the DMV 😬
I have to say by finding your channel- I start cry at all the things that you say that I relate too! Can’t stop and won’t stop! Thought that I was the only one who felt this way before taking Zepbound, to know that this is common blows my mind! Thankful for finding you and looking forward to 2025 feeling what I should have been! 🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️
I'm planning to start Zepbound in the new year. Insurance won't cover it but I'm going to use the savings card and see how it works for me. My doctor thinks I will be a perfect candidate for it.
Check again after the new year. It could change and they for sure not going to tell you
I did that almost a year ago. It had been going well. I am down 38 lbs. and feel good. It's expensive, but not having that food chatter is one of the many benefits I am happy to invest in.
@@jenf836 I will, thank you!
Congratulations 🎉🎈🎊 you look gorgeous happy for you 🙏🏼
💃Thank you sooo much, Countess!!!!!
Thank you for sharing! Elizabeth, please don't let the haters get to you. You got this🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾....🏃🏽♀️💃🏾🏋🏽♀️🚴🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️🏊🏾♀️
🏊♀ I plan to get back in the gym pool and doing chair yoga. I had my lower back MRI today so the ball is rolling in regards to getting my back figured out. We have three little dogs that would LOVE daily walks if I could do it! Thank you for todays message. Always seem as if you are talking directly to me.
My shots are stuck at FEDEX. Were supposed to be here Friday but now saying tomorrow. Fingers crossed and prayers said that the delivery happens!!! I am ready to get back at it!
🌹Keep up the encouraging words! I enjoy your videos:) They help me on my journey 💖
Thank you so much! Truly life changing
Keep being you boo ❤ not everyone has to like you and that’s okay! You should have a Miami meetup if you ever com to Florida. Today I will be going to my Zumba class for an hour of fun excercise💃🏻
Thank you for being here! 🏊 aqua therapy and water aerobics for me!.
🏋️♀️Yes! I’m with you regarding not getting the high off of food. I can have some and walk away! The changes in my brain are even more impressive than the weight loss.
🏋️♀️🏋️♀️ love to run but need to add more weights into my regimen. Thanks for your dedication to giving us videos everyday. Something I always look forward to.
Countess, I can't miss any of your videos. You are my guiding light and daily inspiration. I have actually, lost another 3 or 4 pounds during these dangerous Christmas holidays. That's a first and because of your videos. There's way too much tempting food everywhere. This time I was NOT TEMPTED. I stuck with my meal plans and more activities. YEHHHH
Can't even believe that I walked over 11K steps twice this week and that equals a little more than 5 miles in a day. Plus I actually did some weights with my adult son. WHO IS THIS PERSON?? He was very proud of my accomplishments and so was I.
After being morbidly obese for decades and living in complete DENIAL....its a brand new me. I CAN + I will with GOD's help and with you voice.
Yes the Mourjano shots are a miracle, and I never thought I'd stick to a real lifestyle change. Yes I'm going to keep going because Im still about 30 pounds from a healthy BMI. Yes I am doing the work but listening to your journey has been life changing for me. No pressure but please don't stop because I personally need you.
Only had 1/2 of one very greasy pastry that hit my stomach like a ton of bricks. Wow ran to the toilet but thought I had gotten strep throat or a cold or anything but food. Then hear this video and Oh OH its the food.
Praying that you might be able to come near Central Florida, I live in So Fl but I'll drive anywhere in Florida to see you. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Another Sister Tuttle here 🐢.
Need to walk more 🚶♀🚶♀and do more weights, 🏋♀🏋♀🏋♀ love it! Funny but realized how great i felt afterwards. LOL that a first for me but will continue.
Merry Christmas and I can't wait for a healthier 2025 New Year.
I use smaller plates. I also found i enjoy my meals more when I start with a prettily assembled plate. When my food looks good at the start, it makes me enjoy it more!
🤸🏽♀️truly encouraging and helpful on this journey
🏃🏾♀️ 🏋🏾♀️ Today I am hopping on the bike and hopefully my treadmill will be fixed today. I am going to focus on running more this coming year and lifting.
🚶♀️🏋♀️ I will be walking the doggos today, a short walk for the post-surgery dog and longer walk for the other, then finish painting a room. I will never understand why people want to bash on someone; don't follow them or watch them if you disagree with their views. People can be jerks...often. Glad the meet and great lifted your spirits!
🧘♀️🏋🏼♀️🎾🏌🏻♀️🏊♀️🏃♀️ - Pilates has been my go to, but in 2025 I’m also going to add some weight training, get back into playing league tennis, take more golf lessons, swim when it heats up (and maybe even become a certified water aerobics instructor) and start running (I signed up for Rock N Roll 10k in February). Today I did do a Pilates class and later did an iFit session on my treadmill.
Thank you for being vulnerable. I love that you are taking ownership of the “new” you and recognizing how much you have changed, inside and out - Shannon
🏋️♀️I bought a little set of hand weights. Going to get in habit of using them! How original am I to use the stuff we buy!! You are loved and we’re thankful for you!!
🥦👠Thank you for your frank talk. I know that, having spent years in an unbalanced relationship with food, I am addicted to this most common of all commodities. Hightening awareness of what is headed to my mouth is the only way to stop a downward spiral. Well done you on your journey.
🏋🏻♀️ definitely saw a vast increase in inflammation after eating holiday goodies, but getting back to eating better has been a lot easier than getting back into my gym routine 🥵
🏋️🏃♀️. I noticed a difference in my eating this holiday season. First, food, or getting full I should say was not the goal. I experience fullness every day now (thank God) so I was focused on having the foods I love that I don’t get often. But I was more focused on enjoying it with my family. Before I would storm eat a massive amount of food as soon as I got a chance to get away from everyone. How sad that was. I feel more in control than ever like today. My mom got her red velvet cake out of the refrigerator to give everyone a slice. I said Mom I’ve had enough sweets for the week so I choose not to have a slice today. That’s a huge victory for me.
Because of other health issues I can only work out for a few minutes at a time then have to do a breathing treatment but I’m planning to add weight lifting to what I do 🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️ I hope you do pick Seattle as one of your meet and greets because I will be there. Thank you for all your encouragement. You don’t know how much it truly helps.
🏋♀🏋♀🚶♀Oh Countess, we are so grateful for you! You are truly a light in the darkness!I look forward to your videos everyday. You are the vessel because He is speaking to us through you. To God be the Glory. I wasn't feeling well for the past couple of days but dragged myself to the gym this morning with hubby. We're so glad we went. I, too, ate off plan but was able to recalculate praise God. This is a journey and not a destination. We will always be on the move with this GLP1 lifestyle. Stay true to yourself my sister in Christ and fellow GLP1 friend. May you and your family Have a Merry & Blessed New Year!! Lastly, I just received the massenyzymes & magnesium breakthrough.
OMG!! 😂😂 I love your honesty. I made the mistake of equalling salami and other high fat charcuterie meats as lean meats to make up the protein portion during the appetizer. BIG MISTAKE!! Just awful - awful - awful!!! Never again.
Sulfur burps, upset stomach, nausea and near vomiting, and finally the diarrhea to finish it off. Miserable and on LMT and soups for three days. It’s like a terrible hangover that runs deep deep.
🏋🏽♀️🏋🏽♀️🏋🏽♀️💪🏽💪🏽
🏊🏊♀️🏊♂️Thank you so much for letting me know I’m not alone in my relationship with food❤
🥋🥊🤼♀️
Lovely presentation!
Today was shot recovery day aka day of grace.
My biggest side effect from the extra holiday carbs was fatigue. Yuck!
🏋🏋♂🏋♀
You're amazing Elizabeth - sending love and hugs !!
❤❤❤
I love how honest you are with us. Thank you so very much. 🎄🌴🚶🚶🚶
🚶♀️ late Merry Christmas!! And on fir a wonderful new year! Thank you so much for sharing your life! Ive got a long way to go in my journey..but im down 35 lbs...the mental change is the biggest! I love to be able to eat "cheat" food. And then next meal be right back..without the struggle to do it. I find that I'd rather do activities than eat foods..haha.
Im going to walk in a bit..ive got a cold/flu so it will be a low key walk.
I’m right there with you!! Not the same euphoria w/ food yay !! I enjoy some things but it’s not the same! I went and walked 3 miles on Christmas Day between gatherings 😱 who am I?? Lmao feeling full, not obsessed with eating.
Thank you always for the motivation and positivity and humor🚶♀️🚶♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️
I just have to tell you this each time you talk about having gastrointestinal issues at a party I always play the scenario in my mind of you trying to find a bathroom and someone comes up to you and says oh it’s the countess! I imagine you saying, move b pushing her out of the way.😂
The count and I laughed so hard at your comment. This is HILARIOUS 🤣
It’s just where my mind goes. I can’t help myself.
How can i join your support group?
🚶♀️ 🏋️ I am so bummed to have missed Vegas. I had a very important funeral which obviously took priority. But that sense of community and visceral connection would have been much needed and appreciated. Lone wolf here. But not so alone. Thank you for the video, encouragement group, and the extra 8 minutes on the treadmill 💖. Merry Christmas.
Boo on the haters!!!!
I loved how you were so in tune to your eating at Christmas Eve!!! You were on point!!!
I ate a piece of a beautiful Beef Wellington for Christmas dinner. My friend is an amazing chef!!
I was fine. Last night there was a gathering for an out of town friend. I allowed myself to make a plate of beautiful of appetizers not holding back. It was lovely. I even ate a CC cookie that was yummy and come to find out it was the cookies I baked and gave to my friend. lol
Love you friend.
Come to Dallas,TX!!!
Thank You for being authentically You!!You being so real in this journey is helping me immensely!!Keep on Keeping on Continued success for us in 2025 GodBless🌝❤️
Definitely secret eating, always felt guilty after. Or car eating after grocery shopping. I'm feeling so much better not having that food noise or appetite.
🏋️♀️🚶♀️ Walking and lifting weights are my go to's!
🏋️♀️❤❤❤❤ Love and appreciate u so much Countess! Xxx

🚶♀️🚶♀️➡️Praying this will not offend you……have you ever considered that the “embarrassment” issue you experienced at your friend’s house MIGHT be related to how much magnesium you take? I have thought about this for a while, every time you discuss this “side effect”. I take daily magnesium supplements also, but mine are a reduced dosage to what yours are and I have never had your issue. Just a suggestion; something to consider??? Nothing to lose by experimenting with a lesser dosage? I’m happy to tell you that I completely enjoyed a fabulous Christmas dinner with family and did not hold back. While losing 53 pounds over the past 10 months I have learned so many important lessons and have a much better relationship with food. Back on track now and only 7 pounds away from goal. I’m 76 years old and back to my college days weight/sizes/body.😊😊😊❤. And YES! you are not alone and we do care about you.
nah...it's fat and sugar laden food, 100%
Magnesium does that to me too and I stopped taking them and no more blow outs!
🏋🏾♀️🏋🏾♀️ - please do a Florida meet up! Also I’ve been using the GEM bites and I have noticed a difference….but I think I’ve realized I like conventional capsule multivitamins - do you have any recommendations/codes for conventional vitamins? TY! 🫶🏾
Yes florida meet up would be great
I need to love walking, I need that accountability. That’s what I wanna do moving forward for the first time starting this six months ago I’m just now experiencing weight gain like 3 pounds or 4 pounds. I’m not happy about that. Yes, I know it could be caused from salt/water retention. The pipes being backed up in my gut. I totally get all that I did overdue during the holiday by eating sweets, I didn’t over eat the food though. Will I beat myself up over this? Not! Just go back to square one and be true to yourself and tell yourself it’s OK stick with your little goals that you’ve made, don’t make them so big You can’t reach them. I learned than that four years ago. Good luck to you, ladies and gentlemen, in your health journey, I wish you the very best blessings, 🙏♥️
🏋️♀️🚶♀️Due to getting Covid, I missed Christmas Eve, Christmas day and won’t be celebrating Christmas with my family till the Sat. After New Years. My Son dropped off a doggie bag with 2 stuffed shells to meatballs, squash,
chicken with ziti and broccoli, homemade mac & cheese, and various cookies. I looked at it and wanted to vomit but waited till the next day and a small amount for lunch and a small amount for supper and I mean a small amount the sauce that was on the stuffed shell tasted like somebody put a tablespoon of sugar on it. I had to rinse it off so weird. I ate a cookie each day, but that was it. I’m looking forward to seeing my family next Saturday but not looking forward to eating any food. Yes that sounds extremely weird, but it is true! thanks for sharing your holiday woes Elizabeth!
Awesome, I would love to make it to the Seattle one, live south of Seattle 2.45hrs. ❤
Thanks for sharing 😊
7.5 zepbound has been hell for me so far. Haven’t lost any weight but I will keep trying 😊🚶🏾♀️🏊♀️🏃🏽♀️
We ❤ you!!
Week 13, down 19.5 pounds, it’s time to get to the gym now that the holidays are winding down 🏋️♀️ 💪🏼
