The post starts with her saying, “Hi friends. I've been wanting to share with you what I've been up to these past 4 months.”

From there, she detailed her exact weight and much more.

“On October 26th, 2023 I made a commitment to myself to get healthier,” she added. “My husband, Ross joined me in this effort. Together we have each lost 30+ lbs. I really want to share, because we did this without relying on a pharmaceutical. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)”

Lake went on to say, “But neither of us were pre diabetic and both of us felt like we wanted to at least try and do it on our own. Being 55 and in perimenopause, I was a bit worried, that my body would not drop the lbs like it had in the past.”

Finally, she added, “I am so so proud of us. I feel amazing. I feel strong. I will go in depth in another post of what I did exactly, but suffice to say this is the healthiest way I've lost weight in all of my years. First pic — taken today on our daily hike. Second pic and third pic 11/3/23/ (I only started weighing myself on 11/15/23) guessing I was about 170 when I started. I'm 5'3″.”
