We Are Losing It

In this episode, we talk about what it means to enter a season of maintenance instead of constant self-improvement. As we approach our 50s, we realize we’re no longer chasing dramatic transformations — we’re focused on protecting the healthy, balanced, joyful lives we’ve worked hard to build. We open up about our current goals around fitness, finances, relationships, boundaries, self-care, and sle...

Diet culture doesn’t always show up as a “diet.” Sometimes it sounds like “I can’t have that,” “I’ll start Monday,” or “I ruined it so I might as well keep going.” We get real about how those scripts kept us stuck for decades, and what finally helped us build healthy habits we can actually live with after losing over 100 pounds each. We walk through the difference between dramatic resets and susta...

When we look back on our journey, we see a long winding path. Plenty of ups, and downs with NSVs and setbacks. We love and embrace the journey, as we know that every part of it brought us to where we are today. However, we've learned A LOT along the way. And why not share with you all what we would do if we had to start over?!  Listen in as we talk about how we would go about this journey kno...

Happy New Year! We are calling it now... 2026 is going to be an EPIC year for both of us (and you too!)! This year, our goals are quite different from 2025. We had a lot of change last year, which has us shifting what's important to us. Not only that, but for the first time in a long time... our goals are very different from each others.  Hopefully hearing us talk about our goals will help yo...

We made it through another year! Thank you all for joining us. We are so grateful for each and every one of you! This year we decided to do our end of the year wrap up a little differently with more of a casual conversation.  Our one main takeaway for everyone... It is ok if you didn't hit all (or any lol) of your goals. Don't be so hard on yourself!  It's now time to start thinking...

The holiday season is upon us! This can bring a lot of anxiety for some... Honestly, for most. Now is the time to start navigating how to handle some of the tough situations.  Most people in the weight loss community are people pleasers by nature. It's what we've always done. But it doesn't typically serve us. The healthiest thing you can do for yourself this holiday season is remov...

Our 2025 Retreat has come to an end, and our cups are so full! There is something to be said for a weekend of shared sisterhood. Meeting internet strangers on Thursday and heading home Sunday afternoon with 5 new friends and accountability partners. We are truly humbled and blessed! Thank you to the women that made the journey and trusted in us to deliver an informative and fun filled weekend. We...

We've all been there before. The dreaded weight regain! Sometimes it sneaks up on you and sometimes you see it coming but can't seem to stop it. We had a great conversation with Noelle Dawson about her incredible story of losinga significant amount of weight naturally, only to gain it all back and then ultimately decide to go forward with weight loss surgery.  We talked about everything...

 Can you believe that we are already more than halfway through the year??!  We have both been super busy lately... but not too busy to sit down and review where we are with the goals we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year. We discovered that not all goals are going to be met this year, and that is ok! What is important is that we are still striving for them. It's ok to pivot, or dr...

  We know GLP-1 meds are still a hot topic, so wanted to share our journey with you all. We both came to the decision to start taking Zepbound after coming off Mounjaro in 2023. Tune in and listen to why we chose to start Zepbound, what method we are using and what we hope to achieve.  In this episode, we also discuss what we learned from Mounjaro just a few years ago to help us prepare for part 2...

We often talk about how much we lean on each other for support. We both agree that there is no way we would have been successful in this journey without each leaning on each other and the weight loss community. When we went to the JBY award show last month, we met Nina & Pam and we instantly connected. This sparked a lot of conversation around the need for community and a support system.  It d...

If you've been following us for a while you know that we take our goals very seriously. Every year, rather than making resolutions, we set attainable goals for ourselves.  We know that when we don't check in on our goals, we tend to let them slide. So tune in and listen as we talk through the goals we set back in January. As always, we aren't hitting them all out of the park. And th...

We loved having Rob on our show in the past, and knew it was definitely time to have him on again! Last time we discussed the "bers" and handling heading into the holiday season. This time, we're tackling a different season... SUMMER! Summer has it's challenges for all of us and sometimes for different reasons. Listen along as we discuss some of those reasons, and how we plan t...

If you follow us on Instagram, you may have heard about the retreat we are hosting in October. If this is something you may be interested in, tune in to this episode! We are looking forward to a weekend of sisterhood, learning and fun! This health and wellness weekend will be exactly what is needed leading into the holiday season! Registration opens April 1st on a first come first serve basis.  Fo...

After losing a lot of weight, you go through a lot of changes. Everything from your body, the excess skin, your mind and how you view your body.  The way you think someone else may view your new body. While you were losing weight you were thinking of how great it will be once the weight is off. Except it doesn't always work that way. Whether you're single, married, or with a long-time pa...

We get a lot of questions about what we eat in a day. So, we thought we would record an episode to talk about what types of things we meal prep from week to week.  We also talked a bit about how that has changed over the years and how we got to this maintenance stage, making small changes in what we eat daily.  If you're feeling lost about what types of things you should prep, give this episo...

It's a new year, which means we should set new year resolutions, right? NOPE! But we should at least chart a path of how we want our year to go. So rather than setting an unrealistic resolution, look to your past and plan for your future. What went well for you in 2024, what would you like to see for yourself in 2025. And we're not just talking about the scale... but rather what do YOU w...

Most of you know that Steph had weight loss surgery and Justy didin't. But we both lost over 100 pounds. We took similar paths, had similar results, but just that one very big difference. You might be struggling with the thought of having bariatric surgery. Or may be you just wonder what makes people choose to do it? If so, this is the episode for you!  We brought on Eric Hinkle to discuss wh...

When they say you learn something new everyday, they weren't kidding! We learned enough in this one episode to get us through the next month, at least! It was our pleasure to have Summer Maiden as a guest to talk about the importance of lymphatic massages. We learned so much about the process and why lymphatic massages aren't just for post surgery or folks with lipedema or lymphedema. Ly...

December is the month where we struggle the most with motivation. We know this after years of letting it sneak up on us. So this year we decided to get ahead of it. Justy is cleared to go back to the gym to workout as of December 1st, so what better way to send her off than with a challenge. This challenge will help keep us in line, with a goal in mind.  If you want to hear more about the challeng...

We had the pleasure of hosting Jamie Mills @thesleeveddietitian on Instagram & Tik Tok for a discussion on body composition. Honestly, that’s the short version of the topic. In reality, we talked GLP-1 usage, baby weight, body scans, and tracking food (or not!).  As most of you know, we struggle with knowing how much should we be eating to fuel our bodies properly for the changes we want to se...

It feels like just yesterday that Justy was approaching her first round of skin removal surgery! But in reality that was 1 1/2 years ago... and she just had her second round! Listen in as Justy tells it all. From what she was having done, and why to fantastic care she received all along the way as she straveled to Mexico and back for her second surgery. Medical tourism is quite contaversial. And w...

I swear we had the slowest January ever... then BAM! It's almost November! What the heck?? Either way, we have goals! We set these goals at the beginning of the year and didn't want to "set it and forget it". Life is lifing for everyone, but it literally only takes a few minutes to take a look at what you set for yourself and see where you stand.  But this isn't a time to...

When we set out on our weight loss journey, the expectation was to lose weight. This was well before we knew enough to realize that it really was going to be a journey of so much more! Are there NSVs along the way, sure! We can wrap a hotel towel around ourselves. We no longer need seatbelt extenders. We can fit on amusement park rides... these are all GREAT benefits of weight loss.  But we did no...

We all know what it's like when "life is lifing"! It seems like there is always a bump in the road throwing us off our game. But what we found is how we navigate those bumps can make ALL the difference. Listen as we talk through the bumps we know are coming and the ones we don't. Both need to be handled, but may take a different approach. Even the bumps we plan for could pivot...
