We Are Losing It

We are very excited to have our first guest on the podcast! Steph has been taking Mounjaro for weight loss for the last 6 months and Justy recently started taking it. So we thought it would be great to bring a fellow Mounjaro friend on to give you all 3 different perspectives. The first person that came to mind was Dr. Whitney Adams, DNP, RN, CEN, NPD-BC. You may know her as @imperfectprogress on Instagram... everybody's favorite bariatric hype girl and all around good human! Steph had the pleasure of meeting Whitney (in real life!) at the Bariatric Retreat in Orlando last year and they are both creators/experts in BariNation, a paid membership community for bariatric patients. 

In this episode we each discuss the back story of our weight loss journey to set the table, so to speak. Then we dove into the details of our Mounjaro journeys, including what led us there, the benefits and the side effects. 

We understand obesity is a chronic disease that requires chronic treatment, so there will certainly be follow up episodes in the future as we continue on this journey.

Can you believe we are 1/4 of the way through the year already?! In this episode we talked about the goals we created at the beginning of 2023. We are crushing some goals, but missing the mark on others. We've had to make some changes and pivot to make our goals work for us. And that's ok! One thing we learned is that you don't have to stay married to an exact goal for 365 days.

One thing we always had going for us... even at 300+ pounds... we put in the work of exercise. This only goes to show that you can't "out exercise" a bad diet! From playing sports as kids, to joining gyms, trying different classes, personal trainers, home gyms, running, walking, hiking, OTF, bootcamp, cross fit... you name it, we've done it! We didn't LOVE it all. But we found what worked for us and kept showing up!

In this episode we talk about all things portion control. Starting with what led us to controlling our portion size as well as showing the containers and tools we use for portion control, while talking through what we use each container for. If you want to see our props, head over to our YouTube page to watch this podcast video at https://youtu.be/DWBvV5cbD0Y

We also discussed the difference between regular portions and bariatric portions along with the calories/protein Steph needs to get in her meal portions to meet her doctors requirements. Portioning everything from meals to snacks has been key to a successful weight loss journey for both of us, and hopefully you will find this info helpful in your journey too!

After the last episode on emotional eating, we thought we had ourselves all figured out. Boy, were we WRONG! We both had recent situations that led us to discover where some of our past emotional eating came from. Stephanie figured out why she is NOT emotional eating during a stressful time in her life. And Justy discovered she is visiting the fridge more than she would like after some recent set backs. Listen as we talk through all of this and share what we've learned.

All along, Steph had it in her head that weight loss surgery was the easy way out. Avoiding it for years, and trying every diet known to man instead. After seeing 2 friends go through it successfully, she began to think it wasn't such a bad idea after all! Turns out, the hardest part of it all is what she least expected. Listen as she tells her story that led her to losing over 130 pounds.
