My Weight Loss Journey

For six years after having my youngest daughter, Maria, I struggled to feel like myself again.

I had my daughter Maria at 41, and losing the baby weight felt so much harder than it had after my other pregnancies. Instead of losing weight, I kept gaining, especially around my tummy. But the hardest part wasn’t the number on the scale. It was how discouraged and self-conscious I felt.

If you’ve ever felt that way, I want you to know you aren’t alone.

The part of my story you might not have seen

People would often congratulate me on being pregnant. I knew they meant well, but sometimes I would get into my car afterward and cry.

Even when filming for my YouTube channel, I would go to great lengths to hide my tummy. There were days when I didn’t want to go out because I dreaded another awkward conversation.

Over the years, I tried different approaches: walking an hour a day, working out, counting calories and protein, and cutting back on sugar. Some routines were hard to maintain, and I felt frustrated by my lack of progress.

When my friend Stephanie (her video below) first told me about Beneve, I was very skeptical. I had already tried so many things, and it was a significant investment for our family. But after hearing about her experience, I decided to give it a try.  This is what I have used and it has been a game changer! 

 

If you’ve never heard of it, Beneve is a company that sells dietary supplements, including products marketed for energy, hydration, and weight management. It offers individual products and several different bundles.

The three-product routine I’ve been using is called the Trifecta. Rather than trying to explain every product Beneve offers, I want to share what I’ve personally noticed—and why I’ve continued using it.

What I’ve noticed after 2½ months

After taking the Trifecta consistently for about 2½ months, I’m down 7 pounds.

For some people, that might sound like a small amount. For me, after years of feeling stuck, it felt like an encouraging change.

But the scale is only part of my experience. During that time, I’ve also noticed:

  • More energy during the day. I feel more able to keep up with family life and my work.

  • Better sleep at night. Feeling more rested has been such a welcome change.

  • Fewer afternoon naps. I used to nap three or four times a week, so this has been especially noticeable.

  • More focus and a renewed sense of hope. I’ve felt more like myself again, and that means so much to me.

These changes happened while I was using Beneve, but my experience doesn’t establish what caused each change or predict what someone else will experience. I can only share honestly what this season has looked like for me.

Has Beneve been worth it for me?

For me, it has been worth the investment.

I don’t say that lightly, because I know family budgets matter. I was hesitant, too. But feeling more energetic, rested, and encouraged has made a meaningful difference in my daily life.

I’m still on my journey. I’m sharing this as a mom who felt discouraged for a long time and is grateful to feel hopeful again.

Curious about trying it?

Take your time deciding whether it fits your needs and budget. Supplements are one part of a wellness routine, alongside nourishing food, movement, and rest. Check with your healthcare professional before starting, especially if you take medication or have a health condition.

And if you have questions, please reach out! I’m happy to share more about my experience and help you find product information.

Whether you decide to try Beneve or not, I hope my story reminds you that you deserve care and encouragement, too. Your worth has never depended on a number on the scale.

God bless,
Heather
