Eva + Kami are two old-ish moms kids confronting our reasons for being obese while losing weight on semaglutide and tirzepatide, and roasting our past selves. Sarcasm is our happy place. Follow us on Instagram @lessofyoupodcast.
After a friend (who is a plastic surgeon) talked Eva into starting semaglutide in February of 2023, she lost 70 pounds in 14 months, alternating between long stretches of being stalled at the same weight and consistent but slow weight loss. Chasing a lifelong dream to being considered just overweight and not obese by the BMI calculator, after 14 months Eva switched to tirzepatide to try and reach a goal that still seems just out of reach.
A prolific eater of her feelings, Kami was tired of being uncomfortable and when she heard through a mutual friend how semaglutide had changed Eva’s life, she found a trusted medical weight loss provider and took the first step.
As Kami starts her life on semaglutide, Eva adjusts to a world with less food noise and figures out how to let go of the crippling negative self-talk.
On each episode, we connect on how our lives are changing in real time as semaglutide and tirzepatide help us be smaller people, and try to answer the bigger question for ourselves:
When there’s less of you, what is left?

Please don’t take my drugs away
Finally switching to tirzepatide after 4 months of stalled progress, Eva is quickly approaching “one-derland.” Kami learns that the voices in her head are actually just food noise.

Rule #373: Only take photos from 6 feet above
On the mind games of how, when, and who we can take photos with and why… and what inspired (forced) Eva to finally share her previously unseen before and after photos with the world.
And did the circumference of Eva’s head actually get smaller? Is that even possible?

Customer Reviews
Love this podcast
I am currently taking semaglutide and these ladies are very relatable. I enjoy hearing them laugh at themselves - we should all take a page from the Eva and Kami playbook. I look forward to each episode although I wish they would do two episodes week rather than biweekly.
