Sarah’s Comeback: 32 Pounds Lost & Confidence Restored
Sarah N’s VIP Weight Loss journey began after years of fitness instruction, hypothyroidism, menopause symptoms, and rapid weight gain that left her discouraged and uncomfortable in her own body. With VIP’s real-food framework, coaching, and accountability, she lost 32 pounds in roughly 12 weeks, eliminated swelling, boosted her energy, and shifted her mindset around food. Her story shows that even women who “used to be fit” can overcome hormonal hurdles and reclaim confidence with sustainable habits and support.
Meet Sarah — a former fitness instructor and new fiancée who lost 32 pounds, calmed inflammation, and rediscovered confidence with VIP! 🙌✨
Before VIP, Sarah struggled with hypothyroidism, full menopause symptoms, rapid weight gain, swollen feet and ankles after long days, and the belief that “exercise will fix my diet.” She was living on one meal a day and avoiding veggies — and felt worried she couldn’t do it on her own. Then she saw a classmate (now coach) thriving and said yes to VIP — and in about 12 weeks, she dropped 32 pounds, felt her swelling disappear, gained energy and mood, and reclaimed control over her health.
Before VIP
Hypothyroidism + full menopause symptoms
Depressed, achy, swollen feet/ankles after work
“Exercise will fix my diet” mindset (maintaining, not changing)
Living on 1 meal/day (mostly dessert), avoiding veggies
Worried she couldn’t do it alone
What shifted inside VIP
No calorie counting. Protein-forward, real-food framework that travels with you
Simple meal-prep Sundays (Philly cheesesteak bowls, chicken fajitas, wraps)
Go-to snack: apple + Greek yogurt + PB2
Became a spinach girlie (!) + peppers, onions, mushrooms—daily
Coaching + accountability + community (hello, new VIP BFF Loray—weekly walks!)
Permission to live: enjoy a treat, then get right back on plan—no shame, no spiral
Results (in ~12 weeks)
32 lbs down (178 ➝ ~145–146 at 5'9")
First week: –9 lbs (bloat & inflammation melting)
Feet/ankle swelling gone, energy and mood up
Now shifting focus to recomp (less body fat, more muscle) to lock in metabolism
Sarah’s words
“It’s not a diet—it’s tools for life.”
“I don’t crave the old stuff—I crave my healthy, yummy foods.”
“Meal prep = no-brainer. You think once; you win all week.”
“I was skeptical. Now my mind is blown.”
“Invest in you now—or pay in medical bills later.”
Why VIP worked (when other things didn’t)
We fix habits + hormones + metabolism, not just chase a number
Small, repeatable wins > perfect days
Humans > robots: life happens, we coach you through it
Community that makes it fun and sustainable
If Sarah’s story sounds like you—perimenopause/menopause, thyroid hurdles, swollen feet, “I used to be fit but…”—you don’t have to do it alone (or count every calorie).
