Hi, I’m Shelli Johnson.

For decades, I was a yo-yo dieter with an eating disorder — weighing over 300 pounds at my heaviest. I have had a weight loss transformation, losing over 160 pounds naturally and maintaining that weight loss for ten years and counting.

I’m an internationally-recognized expert in the fields of obesity and weight management. I’ve been featured four times in PEOPLE Half-Their-Size issue, PEOPLE TV, FOX TV, National Public Radio, The Charlotte Observer, among others. My work has been published in The Plain Dealer, Thrive Global, Authority Magazine, and more. My books, Start Where You Are Weight Loss® and Start Where You Are Weight Loss® Playbook, were both a #1 Amazon Bestseller.

My weight-loss program is built on over a decade of looking at weight loss differently.

I help you make peace with food and make peace with yourself so you can become the person you envision yourself to be. I empower you to create a life that you love and a body that feels like home to you.

Let me show you how.
