VIP Success Story: Sarah’s “Back-to-High-School” Glow ✨
Meet Sarah N.
Former fitness instructor, brand-new fiancée, and (her words!) “never really friends with nutrition.” Add hypothyroidism + menopause, rapid weight gain, swollen feet/ankles after long days, stretchy high-waist jeans that still felt tight… and a big dose of discouragement.
Then she saw her classmate (and now coach) Katie Majeres looking vibrant, asked what changed, and said yes to VIP. 🙌
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).
Comment VIP or DM “VIP” and we’ll share the details to see if this is your fit. 💛
