The Weight Loss Podcast

You’ve lost the same weight more times than you can count. You’ve started on a Monday, gone hard, and watched it fall apart by week three. You’ve asked the one question everyone asks: how long is this actually going to take? And every answer you’ve been handed felt like a sales pitch. 6 weeks. 12 weeks. 28 days. Deep down, you already knew none of them were telling you the truth. Come and join us...

You've paid for the coach. You followed the plan to the letter. You did the check-ins, sent the photos, ticked every box they handed you. Then the program ended and you were back where you started, lighter in the wallet and not much else. Somewhere in there you started to wonder if you're just the one who can't be helped... You're not. You just couldn't tell the good coaches fr...

You know what to do. You've known for years. You can run a household, hold down a job, keep everyone else's life on the rails. So why does this one thing keep beating you? "I know what to do. I just can't do it." If you've ever caught yourself saying that, this episode is for you. Because every time you start, you mean it. And every time, the same five excuses show up to talk you out of it. The on...

You've started more eating plans than you can count. And you've quit nearly every one. You probably put it down to willpower. ...but look closer. Most of those plans, you walkedaway from for the same reason… You hated the food. Or you got so bored of it you couldn't face another bite. There's a name for it, and almost nobody warns you about it. Food boredom. This week we break down...

You’ve tried everything. Nothing’s really stuck. And the version of you reading this is probably pretty frustrated by it all. Somewhere along the way, all those failed attempts stopped being things that happened to you and became part of who you are. "This is just what I do." "This is just who I am." Here’s the hard truth we open the episode on…the person who got you here won’t...

You've done more diets than you care to admit, let alone count. You've started again on so many Mondays you can't even remember all of them. As these failed attempts piled up, somewhere along the way you created and cemented the identity and belief as being someone who starts but never finishes. The person who goes well...right up until the wheels fall off. And any trust you had in yourself slowly...

You’ve been telling yourself you’ll start Monday for three weeks. Maybe longer. The gym bag’s been in the boot since the 4th. The fridge has the same three vegetables it did at Christmas. And every morning, the same thought: tomorrow I’ll get back to it. This episode is about what to actually do when you’ve quietly fallen off, and what the on-off cycle is costing you that’s bigger than the kilos....

You know the cycle. You start strong. You fall off. You start again. And every time you start, it feels heavier than the time before. This episode is the mirror you have been avoiding. We walk you through the 8 stages every long-term changer moves through, from the bottom rung where you pretend nothing is wrong, to the top where you do whatever it takes. We share where we each got stuck, for how l...

This week we’re handing out reality checks. The kind nobody in the fitness industry wants to give you, because they’re worried it’ll scare you off. Sorry, not sorry. We’ve coached hundreds of people. We’ve lived this ourselves. The truth is that almost every weight loss journey hits the same wall, and almost no one prepares you for it. Knowing what’s coming won’t make the work easier. It will stop...

You've started over more Mondays than you can count. You've tried calorie counting, keto, shakes, fasting, the lot. Some of it worked for a bit. None of it stuck. In this episode we break down the 15 thought patterns that keep people trapped in the on/off cycle. We're not pitching a program. We're naming the mindset that quietly runs the show. If a diet worked, you wouldn't nee...

You’ve started again. And again. And again. This episode is about why. We dig into the real reason so many people stay stuck in the on-off cycle. Not lack of willpower, not the wrong program, not bad timing. It’s an identity gap. And until you close it, nothing sticks. We break down the 6 signs you’re genuinely ready to change and the 6 signs you’re not, including the subtle ones most people miss...

What if the thing holding you back… is how hard you're trying? In this episode, we're unpacking two things almost no one talks about on a weight loss journey: obsession with the end result, and the burnout that quietly follows. We get into what it actually looks like to fixate on one body part, one number, one dress size — and how that tunnel vision pulls you into self-sabotage before you even rea...

Here's the truth most people won't tell you… Walking into the gym without a plan isn't "flexibility." It's the reason you're not seeing results. In this episode, we're talking about why so many people spend months (sometimes years) training hard and getting nowhere. Courtney shares how she used to avoid the weights area entirely — not because she was lazy, but because she didn't know what the hell...

You know what we see when we look at someone who's overweight and struggling? We don't see someone who's selfish. We see someone who hasn't been selfish enough. In this episode, we're breaking down the 6 forms of guilt that quietly run the show behind your food choices, your training, your social life… and even your wins. Most people don't realise guilt is driving the bus — they just feel stuck, f...

You know what kills more results than a bad plan? Starting and stopping. Over and over again. If you've ever gone hard for a few weeks, lost steam, fallen off, and then waited until Monday (or next month, or January) to start again… this episode is going to hit different. Because we're not just talking about why consistency matters — we're breaking down exactly how to build it into your life so it...
