Kara’s Story: “I Remember. And It Sucked.”

Built Different: Weight Loss That Doesn’t Swing Back 

“I Don’t Remember You Like That.” 

Kara hears that a lot.

From friends. From coworkers. From people who knew her in the “before.”

“I don’t remember you ever being that big.” 

But Kara remembers. 

And yeah—it sucked. 

She remembers avoiding the mirror. 

Avoiding photos. 

Feeling like she was working harder than everyone else just to feel normal—and still not seeing the scale move. Or worse, watching it jump back up after every “success.” 

She remembers the shame spiral. 

The “try again Monday” cycle. 

The comments. The quiet pain. 

And the energy it took to just keep smiling through it all. 

What Changed? 

Kara didn’t chase a shortcut. 

She didn’t sign up for a 90-day crash. 

She didn’t do it to prove anything to anyone. 

She did it with a provider, with labs, and with a plan that respected her body. 

Her Apex team helped her track everything—hormones, inflammation, muscle mass, metabolic function—and put her on a pace that worked for her. 

It wasn’t about shrinking. 

It was about stabilizing. 

Resetting. 

Building a system that could finally hold. 

100+ Pounds Down—and Climbing 

Kara has lost over 100 pounds. 

But the real story? 

No loose skin. No deflated face. No damage to fix. 

Why? Because she didn’t rush. 

She kept her protein high, stayed consistent with her labs, and let the process do what it was designed to do. 

She’s not done. 

She’s still on the climb. 

But this time, there’s no up and down. No panic. No punishment. 

Just a strong, steady march forward—with a plan, a team, and a body that’s finally catching up to the life she wants. 

For Anyone Who’s Struggled with Weight Their Whole Life

If this is hitting you in the gut, good. 

It means you see yourself in Kara. 

And you should. 

This isn’t “before and after.” 

This is “before and becoming.” 

And if you’re tired of doing this alone, doing it fast, and doing it wrong… you should know: there’s another way. 

Start Where Kara Started: 

 It doesn’t have to be dramatic. 

It just has to be real. 

Start the climb.
