Rosa felt like she was stuck in a cycle of losing weight, gaining it back, and never truly feeling in control of her health. Now her daughter was becoming more active while she was becoming less active. Instead of weight loss surgery, Rosa chose to see what she could accomplish on her own with a GLP-1 from Ivy Rx.
“As my daughter got older and became more active, I realized that while she was gaining energy and independence, I was becoming more inactive and finding it harder to keep up.”
What made you take the leap to try a GLP-1? Did you struggle with dieting and other attempts that didn't work for you?
I’ve struggled with my weight and body image for most of my life. It often felt like I was stuck in a cycle of losing weight, gaining it back, and never truly feeling in control of my health.
As my daughter got older and became more active, I realized that while she was gaining energy and independence, I was becoming more inactive and finding it harder to keep up.
My doctors discussed weight-loss surgery as an option, but before taking that step, I wanted to see what I could accomplish with a GLP-1. That decision completely changed my life. Beyond the weight loss itself, it helped me heal my relationship with food and my body.
For years, food and body image carried a lot of negative emotions for me.
My GLP-1 journey gave me a healthier mindset and a new sense of freedom that I never thought was possible.

“After about a month, I started noticing meaningful changes—not just on the scale, but in how my clothes fit and how I felt physically.”
How did you initially feel week 1 of taking your GLP-1 treatment and what changes did you notice over time (i.e. week 2, a month in, and so forth)?
During the first week, I experienced some mild discomfort as my body adjusted, but nothing that felt unmanageable. I also didn’t see immediate changes on the scale, which I think is important for people to understand. Results don’t happen overnight.
After about a month, I started noticing meaningful changes—not just on the scale, but in how my clothes fit and how I felt physically. My energy improved, my confidence grew, and everyday activities became easier.
By six months, I felt like a completely different person.
I’ve now been using a GLP-1 for two years and have lost 120 pounds.
Looking back, the transformation wasn’t just physical—it impacted my confidence, health, and overall quality of life.
“My goal was never just about a number on the scale. I wanted to live a longer, healthier life for my daughter.”
How do you feel about reaching your goals and what advice would you share with anyone thinking about trying a GLP1?
One thing I’ve learned is that everyone’s journey is different. We all start from different places, have different bodies, and have different goals. It’s important to give yourself grace throughout the process.
My goal was never just about a number on the scale. I wanted to live a longer, healthier life for my daughter. I wanted to run alongside her on the soccer field, climb the steps of the Eiffel Tower, travel, hike, and fully participate in life’s adventures without feeling held back.
My advice is to create both small and big goals and celebrate every milestone along the way. Those small victories add up. Before you know it, you’ll reach goals you once thought were impossible, and you’ll be setting new ones.
Most importantly, remember that the ultimate goal isn’t a number. It’s building a healthier lifestyle, creating more opportunities for yourself, and being present for the people you love for as long as possible.
