If you think you're going to achieve all your goals this back-to-school season without a plan, you're setting yourself up for failure. On this episode of the Fit Parent podcast, Amy and I discuss why most of us get it wrong and how to make a lasting change.

The start of a new school year is more than just a fresh start for the kids; it's a chance for us to reset our health. So, today, I walk through a simple, actionable blueprint that takes you step-by-step through the process of losing weight for good.

We break it down to help you feel in control this fall. Here are the most important things we covered:

• How procrastination can hinder effective planning

• The importance of setting a deadline to motivate action

• Why realistic expectations and consistency are crucial for weight loss

• Why you can't out-train stress and poor sleep

• How tracking what you eat builds awareness and accountability

• Why protein, fiber, and lifting weights are your secret weapons for weight loss

This isn't about being perfect. It's about being prepared. So, if you want to stop the madness and actually feel in control this fall, this episode is for you.
