Every time you start “for real” something happens – sick kid, work crisis, no sleep, family drama – and suddenly your perfect plan is in the bin…again. Then it’s back to, “I’ll start properly when life calms down.”

Here’s the truth: life isn’t going to calm down. So this episode is about learning how to stay consistent while it’s punching you in the face.

In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast we break down...

- What consistency really is in the real world (hint: it’s not 100% perfect forever).

- How to work with your current life season instead of pretending you’re living in a fantasy one.

- How to build a realistic “floor, not ceiling” – bare minimums you can hit even on awful days.

- How to create your own “punch in the face plan” so when shit happens, you already know your next move.

- Why trying to do this as a solo hero is keeping you stuck, and how to start getting actual support.

If you’ve been stuck in the loop of “on/off, good/bad, perfect/faceplant”, this episode will help you swap guilt and drama for a calmer, more grown-up version of consistency that fits your messy, real life – not someone else’s highlight reel.

You’ve tried so many plans it’s hard to even remember them all. It feels like you've done everything.

Each one starts the same: new plan, new me.…until life happens, the scale bounces, and you quietly decide, “This isn’t working, I need a different plan.”

In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast we’re talking about 5 questions to ask before you change your plan – so you stop starting over every few weeks and months and finally give yourself a fair chance to succeed.

We dive into...

- How to know if your plan is actually “broken”…or if you’re just not following it often enough to judge it.

- What “enough time” really looks like for results (hint: it’s not 10 days of being perfect).

- How unrealistic expectations are secretly wrecking your motivation.

- Why your sleep, stress and environment matter just as much as your food and training.

- When you truly do need to tweak the plan…and when you actually need support, not another set of rules.

If you’re sick of feeling like a “plan-hopper” who never sticks to anything, this episode will give you a calm, practical way to decide what to do next...without burning more time, money and energy on yet another restart.

How many times have you lost the weight…only to watch it slowly creep back on again?

If you feel like you’ve “tried everything” and still end up back where you started, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, we unpack why people can’t keep it off – even when they’re actually pretty good at losing it in the first place.

We dive into...

- Why chasing short-term goals (weddings, summers, events) quietly sets you up to regain.

- How extreme, unsustainable programs teach you a shitload about dieting…but nothing about maintaining.

- The sneaky way compliments and early progress make you take your foot off the pedal.

- The deeper reasons the weight went on in the first place – habits, history, and the stories you picked up when you were younger.

- How warped expectations (“this should be easy and linear”) stop you building the resilience you actually need.

You’ll walk away with practical ways to...

- Shift from “12-week fix” to “years and decades”.

- Use your past yo-yo attempts as data, not evidence you’re broken.

- Start addressing the real reasons you struggle to keep it off.

Walking toward the gym doors with a knot in your stomach?

Already imagining everyone staring while you try to work out which machine does what?

You’re not broken, you’re normal. And this episode will give you a clear, no-drama way to get started.

In Gym Anxiety 101 we break down...

- What anxiety in the gym really is, and why most people are too busy to judge you.

- Exactly what to ignore: physiques, outfits, “perfect form” police and the influencer circus workouts.

- What to actually do the moment you walk in so you feel prepared, not lost.

- A simple 2-day starter program using basic machines so you can walk in, follow the plan, and walk out confident.

If you’ve been stuck in “I’ll start Monday” because the gym feels intimidating, this conversation will help you trade panic for a clear plan and a couple of small wins every time you show up.

And if you’d like support building this into your real life—not some fantasy schedule, we’ll show you how we do that with clients inside The Weight Loss Podcast Academy.

Every morning you step on the scales and in two seconds you’ve decided if today is “good” or “bad”.

Up = panic. Down = relief. Either way, that little number owns your mood.

In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast we show you 3 better ways to track progress so you can stop obsessing over your weight and finally see what’s actually improving.

We’ll cover:

Progress photos – how to take and compare them so you can see changes the scales miss.

Strength levels – why getting stronger is a huge green flag and how to track your lifts without overthinking it.

Day-to-day energy – a simple way to log how you feel so you can connect your habits to your focus, mood and patience.

This one’s for you if the scales control your headspace, you’ve had “F**k it” days after a bad weigh-in, and you’re tired of feeling like nothing is working.

By the end you’ll know exactly what to track, how to track it, and how to build a progress dashboard that keeps you going...even when the scales bounce around.

Welcome to The Goal Setting Masterclass.

In this episode we break down why the clarity, strength, and structure of your

goal determine everything your habits, your sacrifices, your mindset, and

ultimately, your results.

If the goal isn’t powerful, nothing else holds. If the goal is solid, every step becomes possible.

 You’ll learn how to define a goal that’s specific, emotional, and anchored in the realities of lasting change. And together with the three fundamentals; consistent training, nutrition planning, and accountability you’ll see how the right goal becomes the engine that drives consistency.

This is the blueprint for anyone who wants a result that lasts. You know how rare that is as much as we do.

What You’ll Learn...

• Why weak or generic/surface-level goals collapse the moment life gets hard
• How to pinpoint the real pain driving your desire to change
• The difference between “I need to” and “I want to” and why it matters
• How the right goal fuels sacrifice, discipline, and follow-through
• Why your timeframe must reflect your lifestyle, history, and reality
• How the 3 fundamentals keep your goal alive after the excitement fades

In this episode we share our early struggles of trying to exercise our way out of poor habits, lessons learned from great coaches, and the uncomfortable reality of why “your way” hasn’t worked so far — because if it did, you wouldn’t still be stuck.

In this episode, we get real about what it actually takes to improve your body and health long-term. If you want a new outcome, you must create new habits because the hard truth is: If nothing changes, nothing changes.

We share the emotional, uncomfortable, and empowering journey of choosing change over excuses.

You’ll learn why shortcuts fail, how habits shape your future, and what it really means to “choose your hard.”

Perfect for you if you’re constantly starting over, stuck in a plateau, or sick of quick fixes that don’t last.

 You will learn…

• Habits that keep you stuck
• Why change feels scary (and why that’s normal)
• “Choosing your hard” the truth behind sacrifice
• How to avoid the quick-fix trap
• Why consistency is greater than perfection every single time
