“Mom, you look like a completely different person!”
Those were the words that brought tears to Sarah Mitchell's eyes as she stood in her kitchen last Tuesday morning. Her 16-year-old daughter Emma was staring at her in amazement, barely recognizing the woman who had struggled with weight for over a decade.
Just 45 days earlier, Sarah was a different person entirely. At 41, this working mom from Phoenix felt trapped in a body that no longer felt like her own. After years of failed diets, expensive gym memberships, and countless "miracle" supplements that promised everything but delivered nothing, she had almost given up hope.
