Slow down
The faster you rush through the weight loss process, the less prepared you’ll be to maintain your progress.
Take your time developing the foundation that will be your lifelong active lifestyle. Trade the next few years getting this squared away, so that the decades that follow include a healthy relationship with food, fitness and yourself. Please. 🤗 👊🏻
Hey there. When life gets hard, doubt shows up fast. It tells you that you’re not ready, not strong enough, and not capable. It piles on top of every other stressor and tries to convince you that you’re stuck. But I’m here to remind you that belief in yourself is not something you earn after months of grinding. It’s something you decide.
Hey there. Weight loss is emotional. I think that is something we can all agree on. There’s history tied up in it, and there are feelings that surface every time we step on the scale, try on clothes, or think back to the messages we’ve heard about our bodies for years. I’ve spent much of my life, like many of you, being aware of my body and trying to change it. What I’ve learned is that the key isn’t to ignore those emotions, but to honor them and then create systems where emotions don’t run the show.
Hey there. When it comes to eating, exercising, and making this stuff part of your life, you will figure it out. You might not feel like it yet, especially if you’ve spent years on and off different programs. But you will. And when it clicks, you’ll realize that this has always been about taking care of yourself. That’s it.
Hey there. If you’ve lost the weight you wanted to lose, I want to start by saying congratulations. That’s a huge accomplishment. You’ve succeeded at something that many people are told they’ll never be able to do. And if you’ve maintained that weight loss for any stretch of time, months or years, you’ve continued to beat the odds. But now comes the real question… what’s next?
Hey there. One thing that has come up again and again on my own journey, and in coaching others, is how we deal with obstacles. In weight loss. In fitness. In life. The challenges are going to show up. What matters more than the challenge itself is how you respond. That response impacts your progress, sure, but it impacts your mental and emotional well-being even more.
Hey there. For a long time, I approached fitness with urgency. I would push myself through streak challenges, try to eat perfectly, and stack habits like building blocks that I hoped would fix everything. But over time I realized something critical. The habits themselves aren’t the full solution. What drives those habits matters more than anything.
Hey there. When it comes to weight loss, most people focus only on the actions. The workouts. The meals. The steps. But what we often overlook is how our support system and mindset shape the entire journey. Not just the results, but how we feel about ourselves throughout the process. That support system impacts how you view maintenance too... because the way you're losing the weight is the way you're going to have to keep it off.
Hey there. When most people think about weight loss, they picture maintenance as some far-off dream. It’s this idea that once they hit their goal, everything will get easier and less structured. But the truth is, maintenance should not look that different from what you're doing now. You might be able to scale back a workout or swap out a meal, but the day-to-day should stay pretty similar.
Hey there. When it comes to fitness and weight loss, and especially when you get into maintenance, there’s one truth I keep coming back to… You are the expert on you.
Hey there. If you’ve been on and off a weight loss journey for years or even decades, I want to share some real talk that might finally help you break the cycle and build something that lasts. I’ve been there myself, and one of the biggest shifts I made was realizing that whatever I do to lose weight now is also what I’m going to have to keep doing when I’m maintaining my weight. That’s not exactly news, but how we approach it can change everything.
