Whitney Leavitt lost weight primarily through natural weight loss rather than surgery. She initially lost 50 pounds by 2018 and then lost an additional 50 pounds during a difficult period of grieving after her mother's illness and death, totaling 100 pounds lost at one point. Whitney has clearly stated that she has not had any medical interventions or weight loss surgery to lose weight. More recently, Whitney has been on a weight loss journey where she used semi-glutide (similar to Ozempic) alongside Weight Watchers. She shared her experience candidly, mentioning that the semi-glutide helped suppress her appetite and control binge eating, resulting in significant weight loss (around 20 pounds over two months). However, she expressed caution about potential side effects and the challenges of maintaining weight loss after stopping the medication. Whitney emphasizes embracing her body and being open about her struggles with weight and binge eating. She is active promoting fitness for all body types through her BS Active app designed for all fitness levels. In summary, Whitney Leavitt lost weight through a combination of grief-related natural weight loss and more recently through a structured weight loss program involving semi-glutide and Weight Watchers but without surgery. She also promotes body positivity and fitness on her own terms.
