September, October, November, December. The -ber months are here, and suddenly the year feels like it's moving at warp speed! Routines start shifting, calendars fill up, and those expectations we had for ourselves can get a little harder to manage.

As the days get shorter and the holiday season gets closer, how do you adjust your health and wellness habits without feeling like everything is falling apart? From changing schedules to making room for seasonal fun, it's time to talk about what real life looks like during the final months of the year, and how to roll with the changes without putting yourself on the back burner.

When was the last time you stopped to give yourself a little credit? We're often so busy thinking about what we still want to do, where we want to be, and what we haven't quite figured out yet that we forget to look at what we've already accomplished.

On this Real WW Talk Plus episode, we're taking a little time to recognize our wins, big and small, and talk about how we're going to finish the year strong. Sometimes we need a reminder that we're doing better than we give ourselves credit for.

So, think about it. What's one thing you're giving yourself a bravo for this year?

What does weight loss look like from a man's perspective? The messages men receive about their bodies, health, masculinity, and asking for help can be very different from what women experience. Understanding those differences can change how we support the men in our WW meetings, online communities, and in our own lives.

Real WW Talk Plus is our special September series exploring men's perspectives on weight loss, weight management, health, and everything that comes with it.

In this second of a two-part episode, WW members August and Jay share:

• What life has been like since they were last on Real WW Talk (see Episodes 186 and 240)
• What self-care looks like for them
• The different messages men and women receive about weight and health
• Navigating life and health challenges
• How women can support men in WW meetings, online, and in everyday life


Meet the Members

Jay has been a WW member since 2007 and a Lifetime member since 2008. After taking a few years away, he returned to Studio sessions in 2016, where he met Erin, Rikki and Candice at their Columbia, MD, WW meeting. 

Known as Jerry in the Real WW Talk Facebook Group, August has lost over 150lbs and even appeared in a WW commercial. He's a positive force in the WW community, sharing his hiking pictures, encouragement, and is an active member of the WW Bros.

Understanding those differences can change how we support the men in our WW meetings, online communities, and in our own lives.

Real WW Talk Plus is our special September series exploring men's perspectives on weight loss, weight management, health, and everything that comes with it.

In this second part of a two-part episode, National WW Coach Michael G and local WW Coach Jonathan Bucklew-Marlette share what they've learned from their own weight loss journeys and from coaching other men.

They talk about:

• Why men are taught to be masculine and not ask for help
• The different messages men and women receive about weight and health
• The strange double standard around bigger men and body image
• Looking at other guys and thinking, "That's what I'm supposed to look like"
• Why the idea that men have it easier when they lose weight isn't quite true
• How years of diet culture can shape women's experiences differently
• Supporting men in WW meetings, online, and in everyday life

And there's a big question at the heart of it all: If men aren't surrounded by the same diet culture messages women have been exposed to for years, does that actually make weight loss easier?

Weight loss isn't easier for men. It's just different.

Meet the Coaches

Michael G is a WW National Coach who joined WW 23 years ago at just over 400 pounds and went on to lose 200 pounds. He's been a Lifetime member and coach for 20 years, and his WW meetings are available through the WW app.

Jonathan Bucklew-Marlette lost more than 100 pounds after making a life-changing decision in 2018. He became a Lifetime member in 2019 and later became a WW Coach, helping members in the Omaha, Nebraska, and Council Bluffs, Iowa areas.

Fall can make it really easy to get comfortable. The temperatures drop, the layers come out, and suddenly sweaters, jackets, and oversized clothes can make it easier to ignore what’s really going on with your body and your health.

But are you actually comfortable, or are you just getting comfortable with hiding?

This episode digs into seasonal weight gain, body image, clothing, and what happens when you start using fall and winter as a reason to put your goals, habits, or health on the back burner. Because you shouldn't have to wait for spring to start feeling good in your body again.

Fall has a way of making everything feel like a fresh start. New routines, new schedules, new rhythms, and that little voice saying, "Okay, THIS is when I get back on track."

But what if a fresh start doesn't have to mean starting over? We'll get into why fresh starts are so appealing, how routines can support your health and wellness, and where that helpful structure can start turning into perfectionism.

Six years can change a lot. Your priorities, your relationships, your health, your mindset, and even the person you thought you were going to become.

As Real WW Talk celebrates six years, it’s time to look back at where life was when this podcast began and everything that has happened since. What would you tell yourself six years ago if you could go back? What obstacles have you overcome that once felt impossible? And what have six years of real life taught you about health, wellness, weight management, growth, and giving yourself some grace along the way?

There’s also a whole lot of gratitude for the community that has grown alongside Real WW Talk. Six years, countless conversations, plenty of laughs, some hard moments, and a lot of life in between.

Here’s to everything that’s changed, everything we’ve learned, and whatever comes next.
