Shawna Fountain, a 34-year-old mom of four, began struggling with her weight at age 17 after being diagnosed with thyroid issues and polycystic ovary syndrome. She spent years on various fad diets and eventually reached 294 lbs. Eventually, she felt too big to play with her son on a playground slide because she was too big. She sought help and began receiving weight-loss injections in November 2024 and lost 13 lbs within the first week. Nearly 18 months later, she has dropped 154 lbs. She now engages with the world around her more and is more active. She hopes her story will inspire others and help destigmatize the use of weight loss medications.
