We Are Losing It

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 ...

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 ...

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 to handle it. Take it a ste...

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.

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...

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 ...

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&...

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 de...

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 actua...

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 u...

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 bod...

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 i...

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 ...

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 live...

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. 

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 s...

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,...

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 ...

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... ABSOLUTLEY!
