Kathy was close to 400 pounds at 19, but her weight is genuinely the least interesting thing about her, and that's kind of the whole point of this episode.
Morgan and Brooke sit down with Kathy Novak, Brooke's client of many years and a friend for over a decade. Kathy was close to 400 pounds at 19, and what started as a weight loss journey turned into something bigger: years of setbacks, injuries, plateaus, and slow stretches, and a body she learned to value for what it could do instead of how it looked. She gets into the early rush of watching the scale drop, the long stretches where the number stopped mattering, and the line she keeps coming back to through all of it: thankful for the opportunity to keep showing up.
This isn't really a weight loss story. It's a story about what keeps you going once the novelty wears off and life gets in the way.
