As a competitive cheerleader and gymnast growing up, Jess had nutrition misinformation forced on her from a very young age.

And after her career in the air ended, she found herself in a tough situation trying to learn how to continue to look and feel her best while also exercising as much as she could to match the previous intensity of her training.

Fast-forward and Jess is now a BOMB group fitness instructor and teaches incarcerated women how to love themselves and be the best versions of themselves they can be. 

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• About Jess’s battle with nutrition misinformation and how this shaped her past and current nutrition and exercise habits
• The role mindset and positivity play in her life and nutrition approach
• About her personal mantra “love your body” and what this means to her
• How her relationship with food, the scale, the mirror, and performance has changed - for the better! - over the years
• And even a few dating tips for the single women listening!

Hard-working mother of two LOVES to diet - she considers herself a “pain chaser” - but STRUGGLES with the post-diet maintenance phase … can you relate?

In this episode of the Screw the Scale Podcast, I have my good friend and long-time one-on-one coaching client Melanie on the show. We’ve worked together for nearly 3 years! In this episode, we discuss:

• Her stellar first diet success - going from 120 - 105# at 38 years old
• How hard her post-diet maintenance phase was - and what she’s learned since navigating three successful diets and two more post-diet maintenance phases since
• The three biggest mistakes she was making during past post-diet maintenance phases - and what has changed since
• How she has made daily weight and data tracking work for her (and not stress her out)

In this episode, I explain my 6+ month hiatus from the show and get vulnerable sharing exactly why it is I stopped recording episodes of the show. I share some key learning lessons and ultimately related them back to YOU and how they are related to your quest to lose weight and keep it off. I wrap up this episode by sharing what to expect in Season 3 the remainder of 2020.

One of the biggest reasons for failure in any pursuit is failure to give yourself credit for the tremendous progress you've made to date. And I see this happen too often when tackling a weight- or health-related goal when people just like you either fall victim to comparing themselves to others, or, give up on themselves when the going gets tough because they feel they've worked so hard and accomplished nothing (which isn't true!). In today's episode of the Screw The Scale Podcast, I walk you through a detailed exercise that will help you recognize the many positive changes you've made on your weight- or health-related journey the past 12 months and ultimately help you cultivate an encouraging, positive mindset to continue pursuing your goals.

Think about all of the responsibilities and commitments you have on your plate right now...

• Being a parent
• Being a loving spouse
• Working full-time
• Studying for school or an advanced certification
• Trying to lose weight
• Training for a marathon
• Trying to plan a family vacation

Likely, you have even more, but that's a good start to illustrate my point. 

Now, ask yourself how well you're doing in all of those areas...

Are you scoring an A+ in each? Likely not.

In today's episode, I discuss the importance of doing LESS when trying to lose weight and keep it off to achieve quality, lasting results. 

I also end the episode by asking for YOUR feedback on shaping the direction of the Screw the Scale Podcast. Please send comments and feedback to [email protected].

I have a lot of clients finishing diets just before the Holidays this year and I've discovered a huge gap in education related to the post-diet weight maintenance phase in my educational conversations.

In today's episode, I share this common misunderstanding with you and shed light on these two misconceptions!

Trigger foods.

Do you have one?

If so, you like gave up - or tried to! - this food(s) while dieting. But now that the diet is over, you shouldn't have to continue to deprive yourself of this food.

But if you do not have a strategic plan to gradually reintroduce this food in a controlled manner, the chances of you binging uncontrollably will remain high. In this week's episode of the Screw The Scale Podcast, I share specific action steps and your game plan to reintroduce previous trigger foods you gave up while dieting and detail how to form a healthy relationship with these foods.

As someone who can be a bit anal at times when it comes to preparing for success, I took it upon myself to formulate the "perfect" plan to balance eating well, enjoying myself, and staying active while traveling abroad for 8 weeks. As of recording this episode, I've been abroad for five weeks. And during this time, things have NOT gone to plan, and I've encountered quite a few challenges to implementing the plan I spent so much time crafting prior to my trip. In today's brand-new episode of the Screw The Scale Podcast, I share some of the nutrition and fitness challenges I've faced, how I've troubleshot each, and ultimately, what I've learned thus far when it comes to weight maintenance while balancing life.
