Heavy to modified

Your partner doesn’t have to start on the same page, but they do need to believe in the chapter you’re writing. When I started my journey, Modified Frankie and I weren’t aligned. She didn’t believe in me at first—and I don’t blame her. I had a history of quitting, giving up when it got hard. But this time was different. I stuck to my word, I stayed consistent, and over time… she saw it. She saw the new version of me show up every single day. That inspired her. Not because I asked her to change— But because I changed. Now we’re doing this together. But it wasn’t easy. It took patience, leadership, and accountability. As a coach, I see so many couples stuck because they’re not on the same page. If your partner is on a journey, support them. Better yet—join them. Don’t wait until they change to show up. Be part of the change. For them. For you. For both of you. #weightlosshelp #weightlossjourney #weightlosscoach #weightlosscouple #couplegoals

I LOVE IT!! Tiny adjustment made to plug Dr. Dry/ATX and we are all set: You’re not “less than” for wanting loose skin removal — and you’re not “more disciplined” if you choose to live with it either. This journey is yours and yours alone. Loose skin is a part of massive weight loss, and for many of us, it’s not just physical — it impacts confidence, comfort, and how we show up in the world. If you’ve been thinking about surgery, let this be your sign: it’s okay to take that next step. You’ve worked hard to change your life, and you deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin — literally. Elective or not, it’s empowering to do what feels right for you - and going to @gavindrymd and @Athēnix was the best decision I made. Own your progress. Own your body. Own your next move.

Doing the right thing isn’t always fun—but it’s not difficult, it’s just different. It’s different from what we’re used to. It’s tracking our food. It’s showing up to the gym. It’s building discipline. But just like any muscle, it gets stronger the more you use it. If you keep talking about your weight loss journey like it’s a punishment, that’s exactly how you’ll start to feel. As someone who’s lost 400 pounds and now coaches others through this same journey—trust me, it all starts with your mindset. Change your mindset. Change your life. #ModifyYourLife #WeightLossCoach #DisciplineOverMotivation #MindsetMatters

This isn’t just my story—it’s our story. I see it every week in my coaching calls. So many of us are chasing validation, doing whatever it takes just to feel seen, heard, and worthy. But in the process… we start to lose ourselves. We forget who we really are. Let’s be real—validation from others feels good. But if you don’t believe it yourself, it doesn’t matter how many compliments you get. The real power? It comes when you finally say enough is enough. When you realize the only validation you truly need is your own. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone but yourself. #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #weightlosstalk #seeking validation #gymtalk

Loved having this conversation with @Desiree Alexis-Kae Mize her surgery was 2 pounds of removal, mine was 22. Our healing processes were completely different, but neither of us regret it. I know sharing my experience might have scared some people, but I always said—22 pounds of loose skin meant a tougher recovery. But my doctor did an amazing job, and honestly, I’m already excited for the next one! #looseskinsurgery #looseskin #weightlosssurgery #weightlossjouney

I flew to Washington for skin removal surgery with @gavindrymd at @Athēnix , and I can honestly say—it changed my life. I didn’t realize just how much the loose skin was affecting me mentally, physically, and emotionally until it was gone. I used to think I could just “deal with it,” but the truth is, it was holding me back more than I knew. The moment I saw my reflection after surgery, I felt a weight lifted that had nothing to do with pounds. This was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I still have two more surgeries to go, but even now, my quality of life has improved in ways I can’t fully explain. If you’re in the thick of your journey, just know that it’s okay to want more for yourself. It’s not about perfection—it’s about freedom. Thank you to Dr. Dry and the entire Athēnix team for helping me step into the next chapter of my life with confidence.

A lot of people assume I’d focus on my upper body first—but truth is, my legs have always been my biggest insecurity, especially when I wear shorts (which I do a lot now). We all have different insecurities, and that’s okay. What matters is how we choose to face them. I’m not afraid to share mine because I know someone out there can relate. I’m excited for what’s to come—but I’m not in a rush. I’m in this for the long game. #looseskin #loseskinsurgery #weightlossjouney #looseskinproblems

I did this while I was in a bad headspace. Life wasn’t going my way, but I still showed up. What you do on the days you don’t feel like showing up is what separates you. Me hitting three plates today didn’t just happen today. It happened when I made the decision to take myself seriously and do the work—day in, day out. So now it’s your turn… What’s your “three plates”? What’s the goal you’re chasing down? #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #3plateclub #heavytomodified

Losing over 500+ pounds together @Modified_Frankie didn’t just change our bodies — it changed how the world sees us. No more stares when we walk into restaurants. No more judgment when we order what we actually want. No more worrying if the chair will hold us or if we’ll fit in the booth. These may seem like small things, but to us, they’re everything. This journey gave us freedom, confidence, and a second chance at life. If you’re on your own path — keep going. The little wins add up. #WeightLossJourney #CouplesWhoLift #FromHeavyToHealthy #500PoundsGone #TransformationJourney #LifeAfterWeightLoss #InspirationDaily #ModifyYourLife #KeepPushing #HealthOverEverything #MentalAndPhysicalTransformation #FitnessMotivation #NoMoreLimits #RealLifeChang

Showing my scars right now — and soon, I’ll be dropping a video breaking down exactly what I used to help them heal properly. When I share my recovery stories, just know this: I had 22 pounds of loose skin removed. That’s not something most people will ever have to deal with — and that’s okay. But I’m sharing this to show what’s possible. To remind you that healing takes time, effort, and a lot of mental strength. My journey is extreme, but the lessons in it apply to anyone trying to change their life. #skinremovalsurgery #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlossinprogress #360bodylift #360bodyliftrecovery #weightlosstransformation
