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 are so grateful for you! We are looking forward to the next one. We have an idea in mind and can...
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 from our struggles with losing weight, to GLP-1 meds, skin removal surgery and everything in between....
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 drop a goal that no longer serves you. A LOT can happen in 365 days, and what is most import...
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 ...
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 episo...
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 ...
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 step further and sign up for Rob's Summer School! Never heard of Rob before? Rob is a ...
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. Follow Justy & Steph on Instagram, where they share their weight loss journey and road t...
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...
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 w...
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 y...
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...
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 ...
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...
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 fa...
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. ...
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...
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. Th...
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 a...
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...
