We Are Losing It

It's that time of year where we take a moment to pause and re-evaluate our goals for the year. At this point, we are more than halfway through the year! Can you believe it?? If we didn't pause, evaluate and possibly pivot, we run the risk of derailing our progress. And we always say, we didn't come this far to only come this far! We worked our asses off (literally lol) to get to mai...

Let's face it, we all get busy and tend to lose ourselves a bit, especially women! We're mother's, wives, career driven, athletes, goal oriented... you name it! When you're trying to spin all of these plates in the air, it's easy to forget to fill your own cup! We just spent a week together primitive backpack camping in Virginia with wild ponies and mountains. We collected...

It's funny how we can go our whole life as an obese person, hating our bodies. Thinking, if only I could lose this weight, I would be so happy and I would look great!  Well, 100+ pounds gone for both of us, and even after skin removal... we still struggle with body image. For Steph, she has a lot of loose skin on her arms, and her belly apron causes rashes when she exercises. For Justy, she d...

GLP-1 Medication has been all the rave over the last 2 years. Luckily Justy and I got our hands on some back in 2022. We both took Mounjaro and have been off of it for a year now.  Listen in as we discuss what life was like on Mounjaro and how we've managed to maintain our weight since then.  Has it been easy... NO! Are we giving it our best effort... ABSOLUTLEY!  Follow Justy & Steph on...

Hopefully by the time you listen to this episode you already listened to episode 36, "Why You're Not Feeling Motivated" as well as the follow up episode 38, "Overcoming Your Motivation Struggles". This should have given you some time to do the work that we need to do to close the motivation gap and prevent it from becoming a viscious cycle.  In this episode we discuss how...

Most people that suffer from the disease of obesity struggle with over eating. Some of us can recall back to childhood when we weren't allowed up from the table until our dinner plate was clear. This is where the term "Clean Plate Club" came from.  Somehow that mentality sticks with you. Whether it's a childhood behavior like this, or simply not wanting to waste food. We can ea...

Did you set goals or make a resolution in the beginning of the year? Have you taken time to reflect on those goals to see if you're making progress? Listen in as we review the goals we've set for ourselves in 2024.  Some things we've learned while talking through this: It's ok to pivot a goal if it's not quite right for you We are both on the edge of missing a goal that we...

We are excited to welcome back Jeannie Boyer, RD to the podcast! On this episode, we are talking about Stress & How It Affects Weightloss. This episode is pretty powerful, in that it makes you think much more deeply about what stress is actually doing to your body. Jeannie also uncovers how our brains have been trained to do certain things for YEARS, and that we need to take the time to retrai...

In a recent podcast, we talked about what to do when you aren't "feeling" motivated. In that episode we broke down that motivation isn't a feeling, but rather the reason one has for acting in a particular way. You can't feel it, but you can certainly take action on a feeling, which can lead to motivation. Easier said than done though, right?!    Lack of motivation is where...

Meal prep can be scary if you've never done it before. It took both of us a long time to pick up the habit and stick with it. And this is coming from 2 restaurant girls! So we get it! But bottom line is, it can help you stay on track. Even if you choose 1 dish to make. Start small and build up to a full weekly prep, if you choose. And please don't think you have to make boiled chicken, s...

How many times have you said, "I'm just not feeling motivated" when it comes to your health and fitness journey? We've all been there!

As most of you know, Justy and Steph both lost over 100 pounds, but used different methods of getting there. They've both been on a weight loss journey for YEARS, losing and gaining weight. But around 2019/2020 they each knew they had to get serious about it. Steph had weight loss surgery in 2020 and since then has dedicated herself to learning how to navigate through the mental side of weigh...

Staying true to finishing our year STRONG, we brought on 2 wonderful professionals in the bariatric community to talk about holiday headwork and nutrition. Tune in and listen as I get some live, on the spot coaching about my love & fear of cookies... especially over the holiday season! I had an "aha moment" during my coaching from Jeannie Boyer, RD and Lora Grabow, LMSW that I feel w...

As we continue our journey to stay on track for the rest of 2023, we are excited to introduce Rob DiMedio, also know as @myweightishistory on Instagram! In this episode, Rob breaks down what he refers to as "The Bariatric Bers". But we all know, the head work around weight loss isn't JUST for bariatric folks, but honestly for anyone that struggles with their weight.  We also talked...

Last episode we talked about finishing the rest of 2023 STRONG! And we're going to spend the rest of the year helping you navigate HOW to do that.  Once summer ends, we dive into Back To School and then almost immediately into Halloween, followed by Thanksgiving and then all of the Dec-Jan holidays. It can be really hard to navigate all of this. It's like a 1-2 punch followed by a KNOCK...

Last episode we talked about finishing 2023 strong! Today we are following up to see where we stand on the goals we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year. A lot can happen in a year. You made need to pivot or even completely change a goal, if necessary. And that is ok! as long as we are staying focused and applying ourselves. It does up no good to set a goal in January and then never look...

It is so important to close the year out with as much emphasis as we started the new year with! In this episode, we drill in on the handful of things you can do to finish the year strong! You've heard us talk about these things before. But we thought it would be even better have our thoughts backed up by a doctor! We brought on Dr. Bruce Seaton, a general practitioner, whose passion lies in h...

We both decided to call on Mounjaro to help us cross the finish line into maintenance on our weight loss journey.  In May, Steph reached maintenance and stopped taking it. Justy did the same when she reached maintenance in July.  Listen as we talk about our experience after both spending some time navigating maintenance without medical assistance.  Spoiler alert... it's still not easy! We dec...

It took us a long time to realize that there is a difference between self care and self love. Weight loss requires self love, or you will continue to bounce around in the yoyo with the scale.  Listen as we talk about how we started to truly LOVE ourselves and give us what we needed to be successful in our journeys.  With that being said, where does self care fit in? We talk about where and how we...

Picture it: You've been crushing your day! Woke up early, worked out, stuck to your eating plan, met your water goal, took your vitamins... all the things! You come home from work. Sit down to your planned dinner and then begin to wind down for the night. All of a sudden, the urges kick in! Your brain starts telling you why you should enjoy a dish of ice cream or slice of cake. This wasn&apos...

Most of us can tell when someone is feeding us a line of BS. But oddly enough, we don't know when we are feeding ourselves the BS. Or maybe we just chose to ignore it? Either way, it's time to get real with ourselves and stay true to our goals. Listen as we discuss how we fought back to our own mind games. We had to stand up to ourselves and fight for what we really want. One thing we le...

This is your reminder to sit down and review where you stand with the goals you set 6 months ago. Where are you crushing it? Where are you falling behind?  Listen as we discuss what we need to improve on, where we've called aud...
