In this episode, Dr. Sarah Stombaugh sits down with one of her patients, Marci, to share a personal perspective on what it’s really like to go through a weight-loss journey. Together, they explore the motivations that led her to take the first step, how her expectations compared with reality, and the key supports that helped her stay on track.

You’ll hear about the tools and strategies she found most useful, her wins on the scale and in her health, and the powerful non-scale victories that changed her daily life. She also reflects on the mindset shifts she’s experienced along the way, from overcoming unexpected challenges to celebrating surprising positives.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking for encouragement to continue, this candid conversation offers practical insights and heartfelt advice. You’ll walk away inspired by her progress, her resilience, and her excitement about the future of her health and life.
