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 of this journey. We both spoke to our doctors and explained what we were hoping to achieve and they we...

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 doesn't matter if you're in the early stages of your journey or several years out, this episode is for...

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 that's ok! We know we have plenty of time before the end of the year to get back on track. Have you followed up with y...

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 partner... insecurities will likely pop up. You may even regret losing the weight because you feel less sexy or d...

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 episode a listen. And if you don't already, follow us on instagram to see what we're prepping weekly! Follow Jus...

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 want for yourself? If you've been following us for a while, you know that we are goal driven. Every year we set...

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 what made him finally decide to have bariatric surgery after going through the program 3 times. A little abo...

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. Lymphatic massages are actually recommended for everybody as a way to help rid yourself of toxins that need to d...

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 challenge, want to join us in the challenge or just want to hear our mindset around how we plan to get throug...

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 see. Neither of us plan to enter a body building contest, but we do want to lose a bit more fat while g...

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 we get it, there is good and bad out there! But the same can be said for right here in the USA. Justy...

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 beat yourself up if you're not smashing your goals. Listen in as we talk about what goals we are hitting, and where we are mis...

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 not expect our lives to change in other ways. For our confidence to build the way it did. They say you ...

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 and take a turn. One thing we know for sure is that we can't let our old all or nothing mentality take over and derail o...

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 maintenance and a confident state in our life. That being said, we took a moment to reflect. If you haven't done this ...

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 and filtered creek water, cut our own fire wood and got a fire going with damp wood. There was plenty of hammock relaxation,...

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 doesn't like her legs and has some back fat that appeared after some regain. So it looks as though our orig...

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 your thoughts become a feeling, the feeling then turns into an action, which then becomes a habit. Tune in as we turn all of t...

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 easily come up with 10 reasons why we feel the need to clean our plate. And sometimes that reason may simply be that we lov...

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 need to tighten up on Some goals come easier than others We're so glad we have each other to work through these things togeth...

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 retrain it to align with our goals. If you tuned int to Episode 18 you heard Jeannie discuss weight regain...

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 we are looking to change our behavior. We can want it all day long, but until you act on it, it's simply just a desire. In orde...

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, steamed broccoli and sweet potatoes every week. That's not a thing! There are tons of options for easy meal out...

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 to navigate through the mental side of weight loss/maintenance. Justy did not have weight loss surgery, and peope always ask her... how did she do it?...
