I've been in this industry for almost 30 years, and one thing I see over and over is that people losing weight have a hard time taking a compliment. (I've even caught myself doing this recently! And I'm pretty confident!) How it usually goes is something like this: Someone sees that you've lost weight and they say, "Wow, you look great!" Ideally, your response would be something like, "Thank you so much, I appreciate that." Instead, it's usually this: "Thanks, but I still have a long way to go." (Or you negate their compliment in some other way.) If you feel like you need to explain yourself or argue with someone when they pay you a compliment - instead of just saying "thank you" - then this week's new podcast episode is for you. I'll talk about why people negate compliments, what it means for your weight loss (oh, it affects it for sure), and what you can do to start actually receiving those compliments! ---- Become a VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable, we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown  ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

Much to the surprise of people doing it for the first time, working from home comes with a lot of challenges. I've been working from home for years, and let me tell you, I did not see most of these challenges coming. Hey, don't get me wrong. Working from home is awesome...AND there's a flip side to everything, including working from home. Whether you're working from home because you've got your own business or you're working remotely for someone else, you'll face these challenges, too. And in case you're wondering, YES, they can affect your weight loss. Whether working from home helps or hurts your weight loss depends on what I'm gonna talk about in this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle. Tune in and get my top three tips for working from home. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- 7 day reset might be exactly what you need: coderedlifestyle.com/reset ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown  ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

MY TOP 3 TIPS FOR WORKING FROM HOME

There's no shortage of ways to lose weight. You can lose weight with the lemon and cayenne pepper diet, the cabbage soup diet, or with Noom, Weight Watchers, Atkins, Ozempic, gastric surgery, and a million more. Losing weight isn't the hard part. It's keeping it off that most people struggle with, which is why I say we don’t have a weight loss problem in this country, we have a weight regain problem. Back in January, I did a workshop called Throwing It All Away, where I talked about my biggest battle ever with weight regain. It happened for one simple reason: I stopped doing what was working. The REASONS I stopped are relatable, but for this conversation, they're beside the point. The point is that when you stop doing what's working, you lose the result. If you stop showering, you stop staying clean. If you stop putting fuel in your car, it stops running. And if you stop doing what worked to get your weight off, you gain it back. That's why gimmicks like Ozempic, and drastic measures like gastric surgery, are so dangerous. How many times can you safely do them? How far can they really get you? In this podcast episode, I'm going deep into why the sneaky, toxic mindset of "it's working, so I can stop doing it" is SO harmful and frustrating in all areas of your life, including your weight loss. Tune in for help putting it behind you. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- 7 day reset might be exactly what you need: coderedlifestyle.com/reset ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown  ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

YOU STOPPED DOING WHAT WAS WORKING

When sharing the Code Red Lifestyle™, people don’t believe what they hear, they believe what they see. That’s how people decide if something is going to work or not. They look for proof, aka "the fruit" of what it produces. Actual fruit doesn’t just pop up on its own. It's produced on a vine or tree. This is why I've posted a before and after picture of a Rebel who's lost weight every single day for the past eight years, plus stories that go along with them. It's to show people "the fruit" that Code Red produces when you live the lifestyle consistently and correctly. A lot of people who start living the Code Red Lifestyle™ want to inspire their friends and family to join. One of THE best ways to do that is by actually living the lifestyle and letting your results do the talking. An example: Say your mailman sees you at the mailbox, notices you’ve lost weight, and asks what’s going on. "Oh, I’m doing Code Red. It’s real food water, and sleep. No shakes, pills, diet foods, or exercise," you reply. That mailman, your pastor’s wife, your sister-in-law, they're all going to notice "the fruit" of your work. Another example: Let's say you're in an Uber and the driver tells you, "I’d really like to lose weight. I’ve been struggling the last four years, busting my butt at the gym three days a week. I haven’t skipped one single workout, and I'm not losing weight. It's just so frustrating." You could say, "I’ve lost 135 pounds on a program called Code Red," and the Uber driver will probably be impressed. But if you reach your phone forward (wait for a red stoplight or until you arrive at your destination!!) with a before picture, so they can compare it to how you look now, THAT's going to make much more of an impact than just saying it. If you want to inspire more people to live the Code Red Lifestyle™ with you, tune into this this episode, where I'll talk about how to "bear fruit" in a way that makes people take notice. What I talk about applies to more than weight loss. It applies to anything where you'd like people to join in...a business, a group you're a part of, and more. Tune in for tips on how you can "bear fruit" in a way that inspires others into action. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown  ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT

This episode is gonna trigger some people. You'll be hard-pressed not to feel pretty strongly about it one way or the other. It has to do with a post I put up about unhealthy people eating unhealthy foods. I did not name them or show their faces (just like food documentaries and news reports that show images or footage of unhealthy people don't name them or show their faces). I DID express my opinion about their food choices in relation to their state of health. But did I actually "fat shame" them, as some people accused me of? Listen to this episode and decide for yourself. Like I said, you'll feel pretty strongly about it one way or the other. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown  ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

Did I Fat Shame Them?

This episode is about what you do when the newness of a program or “fresh start” wears off. In her book, Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, shares that the anticipation of getting something is usually better than actually getting it. (Not always. Sometimes it's WAY better, like the new dress I just bought! But mostly, she's right.) Very often the excitement and anticipation dwindle before you even get what it is you're going for! The point is, newness always wears off, and that's when a lot of people go looking for some new way to feel excited instead of continuing to do what works just because it's not "new and exciting" anymore. I see this every single time on the Facebook 10 Pound Takedown. The week leading up to Day 1 and Day 1 itself have the most posting and engagement. The excitement is palpable. But once Day 1 hits, people start dropping off, because the dopamine hit they got from "a new start" begins to fade (which it always does, no matter the situation). People who succeed with anything for more than five seconds know how to keep going even after the initial excitement wears off. The question is, how do you keep going even when it's not new and exciting anymore... So you can finally get the result you've been trying to get for eons, but still don't have because you program hop or fizzle out? Tune into this week's new podcast episode about what to do when the newness wears off... Especially because it applies to WAY more than weight loss. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown  ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG
