Happy New Year! We are calling it now... 2026 is going to be an EPIC year for both of us (and you too!)!

This year, our goals are quite different from 2025. We had a lot of change last year, which has us shifting what's important to us. Not only that, but for the first time in a long time... our goals are very different from each others. 

Hopefully hearing us talk about our goals will help you figure yours out too! Tune in and listen. And make sure you reach out to let us know what your plans are for 2026!

We made it through another year! Thank you all for joining us. We are so grateful for each and every one of you!

This year we decided to do our end of the year wrap up a little differently with more of a casual conversation. 

Our one main takeaway for everyone... It is ok if you didn't hit all (or any lol) of your goals. Don't be so hard on yourself! 

It's now time to start thinking about 2026 and what you want to get out of it. You get to write the story, so make it a good one!

We hope you all have a gret holiday season, surrounded by friends and family. We look forward to connecting with you all again in 2026! Let's make it the BEST year yet!

The holiday season is upon us! This can bring a lot of anxiety for some... Honestly, for most. Now is the time to start navigating how to handle some of the tough situations. 

Most people in the weight loss community are people pleasers by nature. It's what we've always done. But it doesn't typically serve us. The healthiest thing you can do for yourself this holiday season is remove yourself from the role of people pleaser! 

It is ok to take a pass on Aunt Suzie's world famous pie (unless it's incredible and you REALLY want it!). It's ok to NOT give in to buying the most expensive gifts. It's ok to decline an invite to a gathering that doesn't align with your goals. Bottom line... it's ok to do what serves YOU! 

The first thing you can do to set yourself up for success over the holidays is to set boundaries early on and actually stick to them. 

Listen in as we talk through our strategies and what we've learned over the years. 

On the next podcast, we will discuss wrapping up 2025 and setting yourself up for 2026. 

We hope you all have the best holiday season, with minimal stress!

Our 2025 Retreat has come to an end, and our cups are so full! There is something to be said for a weekend of shared sisterhood. Meeting internet strangers on Thursday and heading home Sunday afternoon with 5 new friends and accountability partners. We are truly humbled and blessed!

Thank you to the women that made the journey and trusted in us to deliver an informative and fun filled weekend. We are so grateful for you! We are looking forward to the next one. We have an idea in mind and can't wait to share it with you!

We've all been there before. The dreaded weight regain! Sometimes it sneaks up on you and sometimes you see it coming but can't seem to stop it. We had a great conversation with Noelle Dawson about her incredible story of losinga significant amount of weight naturally, only to gain it all back and then ultimately decide to go forward with weight loss surgery. 

We talked about everything from our struggles with losing weight, to GLP-1 meds, skin removal surgery and everything in between. Noelle has round 1 of skin removal in 2019 and is in Mexico for round 2 as this podcast publishes. Tune in to this episode to hear her story and follow her on Facebook at Noelle Dawson or Instagram at transforming_noelle to see her transformation.

 Can you believe that we are already more than halfway through the year??! 

We have both been super busy lately... but not too busy to sit down and review where we are with the goals we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year.

We discovered that not all goals are going to be met this year, and that is ok! What is important is that we are still striving for them. It's ok to pivot, or drop a goal that no longer serves you. A LOT can happen in 365 days, and what is most important is that we are striving to be a better version of ourselves EVERY DAY. 

So if you need to pivot, go for it! No goals set? you still have time before the year is up. Always better late than never. Don't wait for Mondy, next month or even next year. Start now!

We know GLP-1 meds are still a hot topic, so wanted to share our journey with you all. We both came to the decision to start taking Zepbound after coming off Mounjaro in 2023. Tune in and listen to why we chose to start Zepbound, what method we are using and what we hope to achieve. 

In this episode, we also discuss what we learned from Mounjaro just a few years ago to help us prepare for part 2 of this journey. 

We both spoke to our doctors and explained what we were hoping to achieve and they were both on board. We are THRILLED that medical professionals are willing to help fight this disease of obesity, no matter what it takes! And we are both fortunate enough to have those caring and invested doctors to aid us in this journey. Both doctors covered with us how to properly pull the injection and how to administer it. Explained possible side effects, talked about diet and exercise in a caring and helpful manner. All the things that we deserve as humans in this battle for health! 

Our advice? If your doctor isn't willing to walk the path with you... FIND A NEW DOCTOR! Like now! 

The only missing puzzle piece here is to get the insurance companies up to speed. Neither of our insurance companies will cover the drug. So, we had to seek alternate routes to make it affordable. Tune in if you're curious to hear more about that, as we explain it in detail in this episode. 

We are excited to kick off this new journey and we're looking forward to taking you along for the ride!

We often talk about how much we lean on each other for support. We both agree that there is no way we would have been successful in this journey without each leaning on each other and the weight loss community.

When we went to the JBY award show last month, we met Nina & Pam and we instantly connected. This sparked a lot of conversation around the need for community and a support system. 

It doesn't matter if you're in the early stages of your journey or several years out, this episode is for everyone. 

A little bit about Nana & Pam...

They are the dynamic duo behind Bari-Bestiez, a rapidly growing support community dedicated to empowering individuals on their bariatric journey. With a shared passion for wellness, sisterhood, and real talk, they’ve created a safe and uplifting space where members connect, share, and thrive. Through their engaging Bari-Chats series, Bari-Buddiez program and community-driven approach, Nina and Pam are redefining what support looks like—one bestie at a time.

If you've been following us for a while you know that we take our goals very seriously. Every year, rather than making resolutions, we set attainable goals for ourselves. 

We know that when we don't check in on our goals, we tend to let them slide. So tune in and listen as we talk through the goals we set back in January.

As always, we aren't hitting them all out of the park. And that's ok! We know we have plenty of time before the end of the year to get back on track. 

Have you followed up with your goals yet? Don't have any goals set yet? No biggie... just set aside 30 minutes to sit down and iron a few goals out for the rest of the year.
