I'm Barb Herrera, a retired midwife who has struggled with my weight since I was 7 years old. 2.5 years ago, I weighed 405 pounds and today I weigh 145 pounds, all with using the GLP-1s Trulicity and now Mounjaro. My life has been transformed and I am on a mission to show those of any size that there is hope. From bedridden for a decade to my morning walks of 5 miles, I've been able to do this with medication and a LOT of hard work, I am in a life I never knew was possible! Through my blog and my YouTube channel, I share what life was like before and what joy I have now. I coach folks who are hesitant or have questions about the medications and the plethora of life changes necessary to begin living in a way many of us never knew was possible.

Lisa Meade Romero is the founder of LMR Services and wears many hats to include beauty educator, former police officer, speaker, former high school teacher, an advisory director of multiple non-profits, goal getter, wife, and joy-spreader.  Most often, people ask, "How do you go from teacher to police officer to beauty educator? How does that even happen?" Or the occasional, "You don't look like a cop?"  Her response is simple, it's all about people and connections. Each and every stop along the way may not have been intentional, or a life-long goal, but it has led her to where she is now, carving her own intentional path and helping others to do the same. Lisa loves her winding road, and there is more to come!  Finding an inner joy she hopes to empower others to find and continuing to learn along the way is her mission.
