Hi Everyone

Jan 28, 2026

Hi everyone! I am Zara Parker, a single mom to two amazing kids who are my entire world. I’m currently in the pre-op phase, starting my journey at 400+ lbs. I’ll be honest—that number used to embarrass me, but now I see it as my starting line.I’m ready to do the work to get my health and my life back.

My "Why":

Everything I do is for my kids. Right now, my weight keeps me on the sidelines, but I’m choosing surgery so I can finally get back into the game.

My Big Dream:

I have a very specific goal: I want to run up and down the basketball court with my children. I’m tired of just watching; I want to be the one shooting hoops with them! My "reward" to myself when I reach my goal is to finally wear a Caitlin Clark Indiana Fever jersey (#22).

What I Need:

Being a single parent and starting at a higher weight can feel lonely sometimes. I’m looking for honest support, tips for joint-safe exercises, and maybe some "surgery twins" who are also fighting for their kids and their futures.
