Eva + Kami are two old-ish moms 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. (https://www.instagram.com/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?

Kami is five days into recovery from a balloon sinuplasty and turbinate reduction, and it has been brutal — she’s too congested to wear her CPAP, she can’t use her mouth guard while mouth-breathing all night, and she’s up every hour drinking water. Before any of that came up, though, she showed off three new waist-length hair extension colors, Foxy, Aurora, and Paprika, from Wildcrafted Beauty (https://wildcraftedbeauty.com/).
Eva turns Kami’s rough week into a bigger point from her five years surveying surgery patients: people who are prepared for both the recovery and the price end up far happier than people handed a stack of paperwork and sent home. Then she tops it with her own chaotic night — a lice outbreak that sent her and her daughters to a walk-in lice clinic, a neighbor’s warning text, and a mobile lice technician who showed up ten minutes after they got home and combed everything out by hand.
Eva also explains why nobody can tell she had a recent skin treatment: it’s the paper towel effect — you can pull dozens of sheets off a fresh roll before it looks any smaller, and subtle cosmetic work and early weight loss both hide the same way. The flip side: her lower face now looks years younger than the top half, which is making her overdue Botox and untouched forehead lines stand out more than ever.
Kami’s down six pounds on a lower GLP-1 dose and isn’t sure anyone will notice yet, which turns into a debate about Kelly Osbourne’s dramatic transformation and how far is too far. They also flag a telehealth ordering hiccup a listener caught for them (already being fixed) before teasing next episode’s guest, a designer named Lucy Darling.

Courtroom Wins, Evil Clowns, Pink Shoelaces
Eva marched a Stephen King-grade demon clown costume up to the register in a store for kids — and when the manager disagreed that it didn’t belong there, she bought $50 Boden sneakers out of spite for the place. Weeks later, her 6-year-old still won't go to the bathroom alone, because in her mind, the clown lives there now.
Kami, meanwhile, rides the high of the biggest legal win of her life — a court ruling that her former broker owes her over $6k in commission, plus attorney's fees, after she represented herself start to finish. She's 46 and had never set foot in a courtroom before this case, and is already plotting how to pay it forward with a giveaway once the check actually clears.
Eva's face is healing beautifully from her Junera laser treatment (thank-you sneakers included, minus the promised hot-pink laces), and she opens up about the financial advisor who finally got her out of feast-or-famine bookkeeping — plus the story of an offhand comment she made years ago that changed a friend's entire career path into trauma therapy.

The Scale Is Finally Moving Again
Eva hadn't budged from 186 for a year and a half — until she stepped on it this week and saw 180, a number she hasn't seen in ages, ice cream summer in Washington included.
Kami has her own update: three pounds down in her fourth week of GLP-1 shots, plus a blunt reality check on the gastrointestinal side effects nobody warns you about (chewable laxatives included).
Swerving into real life, Kami searches an elderly neighbor's house for his missing 14-year-old cat after he is found on his floor, dehydrated and confused, having fallen some unknown number of days earlier.
Eva also gives a 17-day update on her recent face laser and submental lipo (still a little swollen, still a little numb) and talks through the tricky conversation of watching her daughter start to notice her own changing body during swim season.
