Losing weight isn’t always as simple as eating well and exercising regularly.
Kelly – a neuroscientist, dedicated F45 athlete, and mom of three – had always made health and fitness a priority. But after having kids, she noticed that what once worked for her no longer produced the same results. Despite sticking to a structured workout routine and a well-balanced diet, the weight wouldn’t come off.
Curious to understand why, she started looking into the role of hormones and metabolism in post-pregnancy weight loss. That’s when she came across Shed It, a holistic weight loss program combining the power of GLP-1 medication from Dr. B with the exercise and nutrition expertise from F45 Training. After careful research and consultation with medical professionals, she decided to give it a try.
Six months later, she has lost 30 pounds of fat, reduced her body fat percentage by 10.5%, and maintained all of her muscle – all while continuing her F45 workouts and daily routine. How did Kelly achieve these results, with the help of the F45/Dr. B partnership?
Let’s find out.
From a neuroscientist to fitness enthusiast
At 38, Kelly’s life is a whirlwind of activity. With three kids, a demanding career, and a passion for fitness, she understands better than most the deep connection between nutrition and both mental and physical health.
“I studied how the brain processes information, adapts to experience, and how lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and sleep affect cognitive health,” Kelly explains. “So naturally, I’ve always been fascinated by fitness and its role in overall wellbeing.”
Kelly is no stranger to hard work in the gym. For the past six months, she’s been training at her local F45 Training studio four times a week, pushing her limits with strength and conditioning workouts to fuel her mind and body.
But even with all that effort, the weight just wouldn’t come off.
The frustration of doing “everything right”
Before kids, Kelly had never struggled with her weight. She followed the same nutrition plan during pregnancy as she had before; yet after childbirth, her body wasn’t responding the same way.
“I was eating nutritious, whole foods, following nutritionist-approved guidelines, and staying active – but my body just wouldn’t let go of the extra weight.”
As a neuroscientist, Kelly knew there had to be more to the story. Her research led her to learn more about the hormonal and metabolic changes post-pregnancy, something many women experience but few talk about.
That’s when she came across Shed It.
A thoughtful approach to weight loss
When Kelly first heard about the Shed It program offered by Dr. B in partnership with F45, she was curious – but cautious. As an extremely health-conscious person, she knew that any medical intervention – especially one involving GLP-1 medications – required careful consideration.
“I take anything I put into my body seriously,” Kelly explains. “And, when I saw that GLP-1 medications were part of the program, I knew I needed to do my research.”
Kelly spent time learning about the medications, their effects, and whether they were the right choice for her. She also consulted with medical professionals through Dr. B to ask questions and discuss her concerns.
“What stood out to me was that there was no pressure,” she says. “It wasn’t about following a one-size-fits-all plan. The conversations were focused on my specific needs, goals, and whether this approach made sense for me.”
Ultimately, Kelly made an informed decision to move forward, but she emphasizes that GLP-1 medications aren’t for everyone. Anyone considering them should consult with medical professionals, understand the risks and benefits, and make the choice that aligns with their health and personal circumstances.
Breaking through the plateau: real results, real confidence
Fast forward six months, and Kelly’s results speak for themselves:
- 30 lbs of fat loss
- 10.5% drop in body fat
- Zero muscle loss (tracked using F45 Training’s InBody scans)
- More energy than ever
But it wasn’t just about the numbers. The biggest transformation for Kelly was in her mindset.
“I stopped counting calories, stopped tracking macros, and stopped obsessing over food,” she says. “I started listening to my body, eating when I was hungry, and choosing foods that made me feel good. It was liberating!”
Maintaining fitness and daily life
Kelly was initially concerned about how the program might affect her workouts and overall energy levels. However, she found that she was able to maintain a regular, sustainable fitness routine with F45 Training – on top of her job and her responsibilities as a mom – without any noticeable drop in energy.
“I kept up with everything without feeling sluggish,” she says. “If anything, I found I could push harder in the gym.”
Kelly also noticed an unexpected benefit: a significant improvement in her pelvic floor health. After her third pregnancy, she had experienced persistent pain and weakness, which made certain movements difficult. Since starting the Shed It program offered by Dr. B and supported by F45, those symptoms have disappeared.
A journey to sustainable health
After six months on the program, Kelly achieved her weight loss goals and transitioned off the medication, but she’s more confident than ever in maintaining her results.
“The support didn’t stop when I reached my goal,” she says. “Dr. B provided guidance on how to sustain my progress long-term. This wasn’t just about weight loss: it was about creating a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.”
And if you’re someone who trains hard and eats well, but still struggles with weight loss, she has one piece of advice:
“Book that first consultation, ask all the questions, and do the research. But don’t ignore what your body is telling you.”
So – on a scale of 0 to 10, would Kelly recommend Shed It?
“10 out of 10. No hesitation. Do it for yourself, for your family and for every woman out there who just needs the right support to feel like herself again.”
“This program changed my life.”
“I feel stronger, more mobile, and in less pain than I have in years,” Kelly says.
