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 hittin…

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 th…

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 …

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…

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 abo…

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 sur…

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. B…

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…

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 …

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 asse…

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 an…

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…

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..…

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…

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 wan…

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 o…

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 YEAR…

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 …

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 …

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!

Grab a pen and paper to take notes, because we promise you will fin…

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 2019/202 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 …

It'…

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.

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 …

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. Sp…

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 s…

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 …

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 …

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…

Summer of 2021 is where Steph Plateaued. Summer of 2022 is where the majority of her regain was put on. We decided this year, we should get ahead of the summer and put a plan in place!

Listen as we dive in and discuss everything from our personal experience, to the first steps you should take when you start to see regain. And for t…

Not only is it important to focus on your reason for losing weight, it's also important to picture your future self. This gives you clear direction on wher…

Most people focus on nutrition and movement for weight loss. But what about the other 2 pillars to a successful weight loss journey? Sleep & Hydration! It seems that as life gets busy, these 2 get put on the back burner. In this episode we talk about the importance of these 2 pillars as well as where we struggle and what our routines look like now.…

Throughout your weight loss journey, there will be highs and lows. The lows can really suck you in and drag you down. This is why it's so important to celebrate your successes. The scale is a data point. It's an important piece to our success, but it's not the end all be all. Recognizing non scale victories (NSVs) is equally as important. In this e…

Can you believe we are 1/4 of the way through the year already?! In this episode we talked about the goals we created at the beginning of 2023. We are crushing some goals, but missing the mark on others. We've had to make some changes and pivot to make our goals work for us. And that's ok! One thing we learned is that you don't have to stay married…

One thing we always had going for us... even at 300+ pounds... we put in the work of exercise. This only goes to show that you can't "out exercise" a bad diet! From playing sports as kids, to joining gyms, trying different classes, personal trainers, home gyms, running, walking, hiking, OTF, bootcamp, cross fit... you name it, we've done it! We did…
