Healthy Costco Grocery Haul for Weight Loss (Foods That Helped Me Lose 125lbs)
Video Overview & Insights
Let's go on a field trip to Costco! I got not one, but two new fridges and we're filling them up with healthy, convenient food for my family of five after losing 125 pounds on a GLP-1 medication.
I loved seeing your Costco jaunt, which is particularly relevant to me since they just opened the new Costco in New Braunfels close to meā¦ I wonder if you could do a similar expedition to whatever HEB is near you in San Antonioā¦
Also, I wish you could give some suggestions on how big a freezer Iām going to need for all this frozen food!
Trying to lose weight (or maintain it) doesnāt mean your grocery cart has to look perfect. Come shop with me at Costco as I show you what I actually buy in real life after losing 125 pounds and keeping it off.
These are the foods I rely on to keep things simple, high-protein, and sustainable without overthinking it or spending hours meal prepping. Because the truth isā¦this only works if it fits into your real life.
iam in San Antonio too. Out by 1604/Protranco. I love how you bring your content across. thank you for your channel.
In this video, Iāll show you:
ā¢ My go-to protein staples I always keep stocked
Wow, congratulations on the loss!
ā¢ Easy āthrow togetherā meals that donāt require a plan
ā¢ What I skip (even if it looks āhealthyā)
Looked like you were enjoying yourself
Your daughters did a great job filming!
ā¢ The small habits that actually make this sustainable
If youāve ever felt overwhelmed trying to eat āperfectlyāā¦this is for you.

Another great video thank you very much. Next time youāre in Costco buy the chicken breast that are air dried not organic. I never knew this, but after the chickens are processed, they are dipped in water and chlorine. The air dry chickens have so much more flavor and are chemical free.

I found your channel and Iām hooked! You talk about the things that needs to be talked about when on this weight loss journey. Iām so grateful for you and your support. Iām down 110 pounds and have about 60 pounds to go but Iām gonna get there because I have you on my team.
The first time I heard you talk about the constant food noises and that the medication is helping my brainā¦ it was mind blowing for me ā itās like she hears me!ā
And can we talk about how you gave me permission to accept and not be ashamed of needing Ozempic for the rest of my life. Iām done hearing people say ā oh you can do it on your own if you want it badly enough ā
NO I CANT DO IT ON MY OWN and Iām ok with that. Listen Iāve been on every diet and consider myself pretty self disciplined and yet just like Oprah I couldnāt keep the weight off. Every time Oprah went on a diet so did Danica. lol
Please donāt ever go away. Help us who are almost at our goal weight or are in the maintenance phase because we need you and your support.
Thank you for your shares and your time. Iām sure itās a lot of work to create content for me to watch and appreciate and Iām so grateful that you are here for me!

More User Perspectives
Such a helpful video! A haul video would have been cool too, but I appreciate your courage to film in costco :D
@cherijackson6727Would you care to share how much that cost you? I'm guessing over $400!
@QueenLoriDissThis seems more like a things I donāt eat from Costco but buy anyway. Not really helpful. Sorry.
@kayakgal1You're lovely, and I say this with the best intentions, but I really wish you would have just done a vlog on what you actually get for yourself. Most of us are on a glp1 journey and are looking to learn what has worked for you. Most of us don't care what foods...your kids like?
@Zoe-lx1tlDamn - See your Deltoid muscles - Even after the GLP1 - Great body composition change -
@padumaiThose chicken sausages are pretty good! A friend turned me on to them last year.
@rondapowers5133I always bring a sweater with my to Costco. My son loves going with my just to be in the fridge areas lol. Love my Costco.
@SueEllen77I just found your channel and started my glp1 journey 8 weeks ago. Started very small dose per my dr recommended so slow losing (1 lb a week loss ave) but trying get more ideas on food! Thank you so much! Binge watching your videos now to catch up! ā¤ļø
@JustforsmileswreathsA lot of pre-made meals! Iām surprised you can keep your weight loss with that
@SophieK-dv7trWatched this while driving to costco! Thank you for some good ideas!!!
@jojocountrygirlI am boring..... I live a mile from Costco. I stopped going to most other stores during the pandemic. Tips on Costco are great. You missed the lightly breaded frozen chicken you recommended before. I can't imagine you being shy, even with a camera. You are too out going to worry about the friends you haven't met yet. Your clothes are cute and you look great in them..... those arms!
@Carol-cb9yuI only clicked on this video because I thought you were going to show us what YOU buy for YOU to eat on a GLP-1 diet, not what you buy for your husband and children. We need to know what are the best foods for GLP-1 people. Please restrict your shopping to what items will help us, and what you bought for YOURSELF. Thanks.
@maryharmon928Hi I hope not being rude but unnoticed a little loose skin on the crook of your arms - is that from weight loss Iām t2 and a big girl (13 stone and just over 5 fold tall) and Iām starting monjarno and metformin in 2-3 weeks Iām so excited have audible to even sheās a pound in nearly 10 years and my sugars are high. . Itās 73% in the āvery highā glucose checker the diabetes nurse said and only 3% in normal range - I have a Dexcom so it shows my blood 24/7 and they stay on 10 days sending the info every minute to your
Phone and she used it weigh my permission to be connected to her at the hospital! Iām so excited but Iāve had pancreatitis before 8 years ago and she said itās very uncommon, my last bout put me in intensive care with only 60% to love the rest to die but they said Iād never survive another bout so she said just so this is life threatening she stressed to me , not starting till next 2-3 weeks! Wish me luck-
Will
I know within first month if my body isnāt accepting it without no pancreatitis!?? Sorry just read how hard you worked on them so Iāll do the same , your great xx š
Fresh perspective, keep it up!
@AjoshuawardFirst time watching, really impressed!
@stephenbaJkerCan you give us a recipe of your blueberry protein pancakes?
@Pmb25Wtf am I watching āI donāt eat this but Iām going to get it for my kids/husbandā. I donāt care. You donāt have to show us everything you got in your cart what you do need to show us is what you eat otherwise change your title to āCostco haul for my familyā cause right now this title is misleading. Iām not gonna finish this video. Next time try titling your video properly.
@telilah85Just a lot of dirty ingredients. Ingredients are super important, if I'm going to feed my family and myself I'm going to select the cleanest ingredients possible. Some things were good, but there are much better alternatives to a lot of the things she put in her cart. But when you don't care about food anymore I guess you don't care about ingredients either.
@LoZ-y8uI want to hear about your GLP-1 experience! How can I do that?
@lizmccue5820Girl, what do you eat? Air?
Because if you do not eat anything you have no business making a food video, even if it is to support a GLP1 regimen.
Leave it to people that actually eat for sustenance.
Perhaps is best you do a workout video.
Just started your Videos, lots of Fun, Good Information. Subed! Costco is always good for Revisiting. Trader Joes Next? Even if it's more of a Show n' Tell than a In Store Haul.
*Don't let the "Rich Lady" comments change a thing. I'm lower budget, Nobody is a Victim to that. But hey Walmart haul if you care to humor lower budget.
I just recently started watching your videos and I am finding lots of helpful information, however it seems you have lots of money which makes the journey a lot easier. I can tell just from the exercise equipment you use, the fact that you had a tummy tuck, the prices of items you recommend on amazon and how much you are spending on groceries. I wonder what my journey will be like. This is just week 2 for me. I have gotten a body mass scale and some zero carb protein powder, vitamins, b12 and magnesium. What would you say are the must haves for someone on a lower income? I canāt spend thousands on exercise equipment but right now being 245lbs Iām also limited mobility.
@Jellybean1762Love Costco! I do buy quite a few of the items that you showed. I love the salmon and recently found the blackened salmon which I might like even better than the Moreys. Getting the semi prepared or prepared meals are life savers for me. I love having them in the house and will often get a rotisserie chicken and add that the some soups or sauces that I find there.
@jennaolen4633You did a great job. Let's go to pickleball!!!
@DinNDeeThey had samples of the Boom Chicka Pop ice cream at my Costco. So good!
@Leslie_Anne1I love listening to you! I watch a lot of GLP-1 videos and you are my favorite :) thank you for all the good information!!
@helenavicente6404Trader Joeās, Target, Walmart would be fun!
@debbiebaaske2938What a fun video! I rarely like grocery haul videos because Iām a very picky shopper but the combination of you and your girls behind the camera was so fun! Now I think I need a Costco membership hee heeš another video idea might be at a sporting goods or exercise equipment store, showing the basics of equipment needs for strength training at home.
@ChrisBrowne-b3vGreat video so much good information and I like a lot of the same kind of foods it's funny
I have a question though. Can you tell me where you buy your Coke zero mini cans cuz I cannot find them anywhere and I've looked every store I go shopping in every time
Your girls did a Fantastic Jobā¦.Tyā¦
@rayanderson7074Awwā¦you left the $1.50 hot dog and drink out of the video. Thanks for explaining the * on the sign. I didnāt know that!
@usedatawiselyyour arms are GOALS!!!
@CourtneysGoodLifeI do NOT like beef sticks or jerky but I do really enjoy the New Primal Snack Mates Chicken & Maple Mini Sticks!
@brittneywilson1493The purple sweet potatoes are the most nutritious for you. Much better than the red sweet potatoes. They both taste the same.
@Brooke2000Thank you Sprouts
