About Regina Bartlett
Regina Bartlett is the author of the new book Food, Sweat, & Fears about losing 250lbs with RNY Gastric Bypass and lot of faith to living her dream of running the NYC Marathon. She's a blogger and speaker from the gorgeous Rhode Island coastline where she spends her days with her amazing husband Jeff and their combined family of six adult children and two very tiny adorable Chihuahuas named Sid Vicious and Taxi Fitzgerald.
She was a featured speaker at TEDxNewport in March of 2018, sharing her moving talk: These (Jiggly) Arms -Self Value and Life-Saving Weight Loss to a sold out crowd in Newport, Rhode Island.
Regina is passionate about creating healthy and tasty food that is bariatric friendly and her mini-cookbook Healthy Fare: Bariatric Friendly Recipes and Helpful Guides is currently being expanded to a full cookbook complete with stories and anecdotes as well as your favorite recipes made healthy.
Knowing how difficult weight loss and long-term weight loss success can be, Regina shares her experiences on her blog and Facebook page Navigating Weight Loss (navigatingweightloss.com). These peer to peer relationships are critical especially when so many people still don't have a thorough understanding of weight loss surgery.
She's active in her church, sings on the praise team, and is amazed every single day at how God has totally changed her life. After completing her marathon goal, she set her sights on another childhood dream: becoming a Black Belt in Shorin Ryu Karate. You can read about her adventures in life on her blog at reginabartlett.com.
TL;DR: Wife, mother, writer, avid crafter, lover of Jesus and tiny dogs everywhere with a story to tell.

Blog postLast weekend we sang a new worship song, Burn The Ships by the duo For King & Country. It’s a powerful song with a deeply personal backstory mixed with this story about a ship of explorers. Here’s what Luke Smallbone said in an interview about the song:
“I read a story about an explorer going to a new land. When he arrived on the shore, he calls everybody off of the ships and said, ‘Hey let’s go explore this land and see what there is to be seen,'” Luke explains. “All the men were1 year ago Read more -
Blog postThe other day an Instagram friend posted this quote:
“When a flower doesn’t bloom you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.” – Alexander Den Heijer
I loved this because it resonated in me. But as swiftly as the thoughts came in, life swept them away.
I was going through my Facebook newsfeed a few days later and was quickly reminded of that post. It was from an article in the Paris Review from author CJ Hauser. The essay titled The Crane Wife was an inc1 year ago Read more -
Blog postIn the month of May I had my sinus surgery after a non-stop year of sinus infections that started to impact my overall wellbeing. As I started to heal I noticed just how far from the basics I was living. After RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery you have to be so diligent with food, movement, and daily habits and here I was over 4 years out and being too “busy” to get to the business of weight management.
Too busy. It’s really the most basic excuse and there is to justify why I was no longer p2 years ago Read more -

Blog postThere’s been a lot of interest in the Back on Track 30 Day Re-Focus for June. In my last post I outlined a little about what I planned. Here’s a little more information to get you started.
Plan! June 1st is a Saturday… yes… a weekend. Focus doesn’t have to begin on a Monday. Be realistic! Don’t set lofty, unattainable goals. Focus on how you feel while paying attention to areas that you’ve previously overlooked like hydration, calories, and lack of movement. Write a little letter to yours2 years ago Read more -
Blog postI started to write a blog the other day about my sinus surgery. It really wasn’t until I started to write everything down that I noticed just how long my sinuses have given me problems. I actually first started presenting issues back in May of 2018. That was a year ago!
The past year has been amazing from doing my TEDx Talk, launching my book, and having my dream book signing at my favorite book shop Savoy. I was even nominated for an Athena award, celebrated 10 years with my husband,2 years ago Read more -
Blog postSuffering is universal. We all suffer. In our own ways and with own inner demons we battle things that can seemingly destroy us. I think every person on earth has an event in their life – at least one – that they can look back and wonder how they survived it. I had a moment to look again at suffering and the human condition this weekend.
I served on a panel at Westerly Library with other local authors and a local author who owns a publishing house. This event was for the main benefit2 years ago Read more -

Blog postI discovered this foundation on Facebook and was intrigued. I wasn’t sure if it would work but it was affordable enough to give it a try. Check out the video and I even found a cheaper and faster way to getting it from Amazon! I probably should’ve checked there first! Thank you!

Blog postWhen I look back on my life I see themes based on how I was feeling mentally and emotionally over time. It seems like there are periods of fear, anxiety, and depression but also times of emotional stability, providence, and abundance. I’ve learned to love and appreciate the ebb and flow of my time on earth. I am able to fully know joy because I’ve been fully intimate with fear and pain.
As time went on I learned more, became more open, and learned to ask for help. My fear of doing the2 years ago Read more -
Blog postI sat on a panel of entrepreneurs of my high school alma mater a couple of weeks ago as part of their career day. It was nice to be there and see how the school has changed and progressed in the past (nearly) 30 years.
The panelists were all running different businesses from a social impact retail store and luxury handbags to a local performance and coffee shop and a brand new distillery. Everyone had something incredible to bring to the table.

Blog postI first walked into East Coast Karate two years ago on a whim when a friend of mine posted they were hosting “Buddy Week” where people can bring a friend to try classes for free. You can read about that experience here: The Karate Adult
Karate – like anything that challenges you and takes you out of your comfort zone – had proven to be a place where I experience the most growth physically and mentally. I’m a person who likes to do things right and well. I like the satisfaction that co2 years ago Read more
