Grief is something we all go through at some point, but most people don't really know how to deal with it.   We're often told that “time heals all wounds” or that “moving on means forgetting,” but those ideas can actually keep us stuck in pain.   In this episode, Tim Ringgold, a board-certified music therapist and grief counselor, joins me to share his powerful story of loss from losing five close friends to the heartbreaking death of his young daughter from a rare disease.   Tim opens up about the importance of music during his dark times and how it can help you heal.   We're talking about why grief doesn't follow a set timeline, how ignoring your emotions keeps you stuck, and how to heal without forgetting the people you've lost.   Tim also explains the best ways to support someone who's grieving. He shares what to say (and what NOT to say) to someone who's hurting.   If you or someone you love has experienced loss, this episode will give you hope, guidance, and practical advice for navigating grief and finding peace again.   This conversation is filled with powerful lessons about love, loss, and learning to live fully again.    So, join us today if you're feeling stuck in sadness, unsure how to move forward, or you just want to know how to be there for someone who's grieving.   Connect with Tim Ringgold: Website: http://CodeRedLifestyle.com/LOSS Instahram: https://www.instagram.com/tim_ringgold/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timringgold Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tim.ringgold/     Connect with me!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CodeRedLifestyle/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cristycodered/   Website: https://coderedlifestyle.com/⁠

Most people try to find an easy way out when it comes to weight loss, fitness, and looking good.   They think they can pop a pill, take a shot, or get a procedure and magically keep the weight off. But that's not how it works, and we're delving into that today.   In this episode, IFBB Pro and top fitness coach Jeff Later joins me to break down the the major shortcuts people try to take in their weight loss journey and they affect the body down the line.   Jeff has worked with almost 8,000 clients, and has seen firsthand what happens when people take these shortcuts. Jeff shares the true cost of the fast loss of weight, its serious health problems and how many even gain the weight back.   Today we're exposing the billion-dollar weight loss drug industry, why doctors are pushing these medications on people who don't need them, and the truth about what happens when you stop taking them.   We also dive into the lies behind the other major shortcuts and why they never actually fix the problem. Jeff and I reveal the only real shortcut to lasting results and exactly how to train smarter to get those results you desire.   So, if you're tired of wasting money on quick fixes that only destroy the body and want to know what exactly works for weight loss and fitness, then don't miss this episode.   Connect with Jeff Later:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jefflater/     Connect with me!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CodeRedLifestyle/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cristycodered/   Website: https://coderedlifestyle.com/⁠

When it comes to building a fit lifestyle or life in general, most people think it's all about hitting the gym, starving yourself, or making other big decisions.   But the truth? It's the little things we do that make all the difference, and we're discussing them today.   In this episode, IFBB pro Jeff Later, founder of Later Lifestyle, joins me to talk about preparation, consistency, and the key to achieving long-term health and fitness goals.   Jeff opens up about his own journey, from how he got started with bodybuilding, to juggling a corporate job while bodybuilding, and eventually coaching nearly 8,000 clients to success.   Jeff gets real about the challenges he faced, what criticism he went through over his lifestyle, and how he turned those moments into inspiration for others.   He also shares his meal prep secrets to making your food enjoyable while getting fit, how to reverse-diet properly, and the mindset shifts you need to build habits that last.   We discuss why most diets fail and how to avoid such failures. Jeff also shares why bodybuilding is one of the hardest disciplines out there and how to maintain your fitness results in spite of it.   Jeff shows you how to stay prepared and consistent, how to overcome setbacks and even inspire those around you.   So, if you're tired of feeling stuck, frustrated with your progress, or you're just not sure how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, Join us today because this episode will give you tips, strategies and insights to help you transform your body and your life.   Connect with Jeff Later:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jefflater/     Connect with me!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CodeRedLifestyle/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cristycodered/   Website: https://coderedlifestyle.com/⁠

Picture this. You're following the program and doing well. Then you make a bad choice and set yourself back. And instead of getting right back on track, you abandon the program entirely...because if you can't do it perfectly, you aren't gonna do it at all. I see this mindset in a lot of people. It's called the all or nothing mindset, and it is NOT your friend. Case in point: This week's podcast guest, Lory Stobart, lost 205 pounds in 18 months on the Code Red Lifestyle™... Which she NEVER would have done if she'd given in to the all or nothing mindset. If you beat yourself up and quit when you make a mistake or a bad decision, tune into this episode and hear why leaving behind the "all or nothing mindset" is your ticket to FINALLY getting and keeping the weight off. ---- coderedlifestyle.com/grind https://coderedlifestyle.com/retreat ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- 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

Most people agree that sugar tastes good. Yet most people don't know that "tasty sugar" is also a chronic, dose-dependent hepatotoxin. Put another way, sugar is a liver toxin when you eat too much too often. There's a safe threshold for sugar, just like there's a safe threshold for arsenic. But most people in today's society eat WAAAAY above that safe threshold. That's why, in this week's new podcast, I'm gonna tell you what happens when you STOP eating sugar. So if you're eating sugar and you also struggle with: Sugar cravings Low energy/fatigue Fatty liver Vision problems (including vision correction) A weak immune system A bad (or declining) memory Heart disease (or risk of heart disease) Diabetes or pre-diabetes Moodiness, anger, and/or anxiety Brain fog Intestinal issues like gas, bloating, and heartburn Then tune into this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle to learn what happens when you get off the sugar. It might be exactly what you need to finally free yourself from sugar's choke hold on your health. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- 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

A few months ago, Instagram suggested I start following a guy named Jake Thomas. I'd never heard of him, but when I saw that we followed a lot of the same people, ran in the same circles, and had a lot in common, I thought, "Why not?" One thing Jake said that stuck with me was, “Every day is day one.” See, Jake grew up in New Orleans in a suburban family. He appeared “good” on the outside and his family seemed “perfect"...but things were NOT good OR perfect. Having no direction or purpose in his life, and while carrying a lot of suppressed emotional baggage he didn't know what to do with, Jake joined the Marines at age 17, where he found leadership, assertiveness, and mission. But after he left the Marines, he lost all sense of identity. Even working in the oil fields and making plenty of money, he couldn't handle reality and escaped with booze and "pleasurable company." He also got fat and inflamed. His turning point came at age 30, when he finally got fed up and asked himself, “Dude! Where are you going? What are you doing?!” Determined to clean up his act, Jake researched human physiology and discovered that what we eat impacts everything in our lives, including our mind and spirit. Jake took control of his eating (he went carnivore) and adopted the same training style used in recruit training in the Marines, which is where "every day is day one" comes from. The day recruits ARRIVE for training is day ZERO. The day they START is day ONE. As Jake explains, it doesn't matter what you look like on day zero. When training starts on day one, it's on. Everybody is the same on day one. Jake also says that “The single most effective thing we can do as human beings is controlling what we put in our mouth.” Amen! And you can start doing that today, even if you've never done it a day in your life or you've gone back to your old ways. Every day is day one, which means every day you can "start training" again. For more motivation and encouragement to move beyond past choices, guilt, shame, and any other crud holding you back, tune into this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle, where I talk with Jake Thomas about why EVERY day is day one. ---- Connect with Jake: https://lifelikejake.com/ ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- 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

Exodus 14 of the Bible includes a famous story everyone's heard about: The parting of the Red Sea. The Israelites were fleeing captivity and slavery in Egypt at the hands of Pharaoh. With the Egyptian army closing in on them, the Israelites stood at the edge of the Red Sea with nowhere to go. So God told Moses to stretch out his arm to part the waters... BUT the waters didn't part until the children of Israel TOOK A STEP toward the Red Sea. In the New Testament of the Bible, while Jesus was walking on water, he told Peter to take a step toward him - ON the water - to meet him. These stories remind me that the first step is usually the hardest. (Or, as we say in boxing, the first round is the hardest.) For example, at the half-marathon most of my Coaches and I ran in Jackson Hole, Wyoming this year, that first mile was the hardest. The first step is usually the scariest, too, no matter what you're doing...starting a business, going on a first date, or even starting the Code Red Lifestyle™. I wish more people understood that NOT taking that hard or scary first step is worse than the fear or difficulty of taking it. I'm not good at very many things, but I don't fear taking chances, because when I take a chance, I have a 50/50 chance of being right. Sometimes I'm right. Sometimes I'm not. But I find out. If I don't take a chance, on the other hand, I have a zero percent chance of being right. Tune into this episode to find out why taking that first step and finding out if you're right is the key to an amazing, fulfilling life that you'll be proud of (and quite possibly, the key to getting and keeping your weight off). ---- For a few items talked about in this episode - coderedlifestyle.com/amazon ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- 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

If I had to pick someone to be stuck on a deserted island with (or even go through the apocalypse with), it would be a Code Red Rebel. That's because we rebel against gimmicks and instead pick our hard and we do hard things. We rebel against a society, a government, and an education system that brainwashed us to believe lies like: You "have" to exercise to lose weight. You "have" to eat low fat to lose fat. You "have" to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. You "have" to eat 9 to 11 servings of grain a day. That dogma has kept us sick and fat for over 70 years. But a Code Red Rebel doesn't bend the knee to that narrative. The Code Red Lifestyle™ is structured for more than safe, sustainable weight loss without gimmicks, shots, or exercise. It's also structured to help you become anti-fragile in every way - physically, socially, and mentally. That's why Code Red Rebels are tougher than your average bear. They're anti-fragile. To hear more about being anti-fragile with Code Red, tune into this episode. ---- Join us at the next retreat - coderedlifestyle.com/retreat ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- 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

In this new podcast episode, I'm talking about the top three things I would change if I were to start Code Red over again. Code Red's been around for fourteen years. It was 2017 when it really took off. The way I run things now is different in a lot of ways than how I ran things back then. Some things I absolutely would not change, but some things I for sure would. What I hope you'll take away from this episode is: Stuff's always gonna happen that you can't predict, but it can't be an excuse not to take action (0r you'll never get anywhere). You can't change what happened in the past. You can only learn from it and use those lessons to make better decisions moving forward. No matter what you do, not everyone's going to like it when you're YOU. Conforming to what "everyone else" thinks of you is a sure way to feel resentful and miserable for most of your life. To hear the three things I'd do differently if I were starting Code Red over, and why they inspired the takeaways I shared above, check out this episode. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- 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

People often manage to stay motivated Monday through Thursday. But halfway through Friday, the weekend mindset kicks in and they start taking a break from caring. By Saturday, they're checked out; and on Sunday, they're mustering their strength for the week ahead. If your goal is to rest and recover during the weekend, that's one thing. But if your goal is to get and keep the weight off? "Taking your weekends off" from healthy eating is a sure way to drag out weight loss mode…indefinitely. Whether it's margaritas with your co-workers Friday night after work, Dominos with your family for lunch on Saturday, or Golden Corral after church on Sunday, you end up dehydrated, tired, and inflamed. Then Monday rolls around, and you start the process all over again...all because you let your weekend become your weak end. If you're stuck in this cycle, tune into this episode for tips on how to stop weak endings to your weeks, so you can be DONE losing weight. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- 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

A friend of mine recently had a miscarriage. This was after going through IVF, hormone treatments, and working SO hard to get herself healthy, so she could get pregnant and carry a fetus. It was tough. But she began to come up with a plan, which was to get back to baseline, because she'd gained 15 pounds doing IVF and wanted to lose that. I suggested that what she needed was to reset and recover, and give herself time to heal her grieving heart. Resetting and recovering are things many people dismiss as "being weak" or "wasting time"...OR as something you only do if you've gone through an accident, miscarriage, divorce, loss, or some other tough experience. But the reality is, resetting and recovering is good to do in a lot of different situations. Yes, there are times to push. There are also times to reset and recover. To be clear, reset and recover doesn't mean you go backwards. To find out what it DOES mean, and how to use it to be successful in your weight loss, join me for this episode! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- 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

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

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

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

I've been in the weight loss industry for thirty years as of 2024, and when it comes to weight loss, I've seen everything you can imagine. Pills, shakes, powders, and crazy "diets" come and go year after year, decade after decade. I've changed my stance on a few things over the years, too. For example, I used to believe in frequent eating for weight loss, and that the low-fat/high-carb diet was the "healthiest." I used to give my mom grief for not eating breakfast (which she didn't do because she wasn't hungry first thing in the morning). I used to be okay with veganism and being vegetarian (these days I personally don't support removing animal protein from your diet). One thing I haven't changed my mind on, however, is this: Real food, water, and sleep are the best and healthiest way to lose weight, clean up your wellness, and TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK. If you're new to Code Red, you may be skeptical it's that simple. You may still believe obesity can only be fixed with surgery, shots, pills, powders, INSANE and unsustainable diet gimmicks, or even killing yourself in the gym for five hours a day. Whether you think real food, water, and sleep are "too good to be true," or you're a veteran Rebel who knows it'll do you good to hear the truth again, tune into this episode about what I believe that will never change if you're looking for safe, sustainable weight loss and wellness. ---- 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

I haven't met many people who seek out discomfort and avoid comfort like the plague, but this week's podcast guest is one of them. His name is Chris Cavallini, and he's the CEO and founder of Nutrition Solutions, a healthy meal prep company. Growing up, Chris was in and out of foster homes, group homes, juvenile detention centers, and jail cells. He was arrested seventeen times before his eighteenth birthday and committed multiple felonies. Yet despite ALL that, Chris turned his life around in a BIG way that, statistically, most people don't. And like most people who transform in a big way, it started with a turning point. His path wasn't all sunshine and rainbows even after he chose a new path. Not even close. But he made it happen cap'n, and to me, his story is proof that anyone who decides to CAN turn their life around. So how did Chris go from convicted felon to CEO of a successful health-based company? And what can YOU learn from his trials and tribulations to get and keep your weight off? Tune into this episode to learn all that and MORE.   ---- 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

When I first started Code Red fourteen years ago, people lost weight much more slowly, and that's for two reasons: I was still learning, so the program wasn't as good as it is now I allowed people to eat one cheat meal a week I come from a bodybuilding background, and one cheat meal a week is what bodybuilders often do. But many average Americans don't work out consistently (or at all), and most are metabolically broken. (More importantly, you cannot out-train a bad diet, no matter how much you exercise.) What I eventually figured out is that a healthy, super fit bodybuilder eating one cheat meal a week is a completely different situation than an obese grandmother who can't get out of her recliner without help eating one cheat meal a week. It also became crystal clear that cheat meals led my clients to take one step forward and TWO steps back. Plus, once they started cheating, they couldn't contain it to just one meal. It turned into going off the rails completely. In this week's new podcast, I'll reveal how cheat meals really affect you, including what they actually do to you and how they impede your progress. (There's more to it than you probably realize.) If you struggle with the "but it's just this once" mindset when it comes to cheats, tune in for an eye-opening episode! ---- 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

A lot of people have heard of a customized nutrition program from Code Red, but not everyone knows how it works. Since a customized program is the fastest way to get your weight off with Code Red, I've dedicated this week's podcast episode to pulling back the curtain and showing you what a custom program (now called a Home Study nutrition program) is and how it helps you lose weight faster.

This episode is about expecting a miracle when you're not willing to do your part to get it. John Chapter 5 in the Bible illustrates this perfectly. People believed that once a year an angel came down to stir the waters in the Pool of Bethesda, and the first person to touch the stirred water was healed. A paralyzed man had been there for thirty-eight years trying to get into the pool. Jesus came to help him, but interestingly, he didn't heal the man right away. Instead, he first asked him if he wanted to be healed...and instead of just saying yes, the guy whined and felt sorry for himself because nobody would put him in the pool. I see a version of this when I ask people if they want to lose the weight. Many tell me, "Yes, BUT..." and rattle off excuses about why they can't, kinda like the paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda did. Until that man was willing to quit focusing on his excuses, he couldn't be helped, and it's the same for us. If we want our excuses more than our results, we won't get our results. To be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't pray. Yes, pray about everything...AND do your part to make it happen cap'n. Joyce Meyer says you can't do God's part and God won't do your part. For clarity on how to know when it's time to do your part, check out this episode! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Get your bluelight blockers from Swanwick, just head over to coderedlifestyle.com/swannies rebel15 for 15% off ---- 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

The Book of Exodus in the Bible tells the story of how God used Moses to free the Israelites from centuries of enslavement in Egypt. Egypt's ruler, Pharaoh, refused to let God's people go, so God sent plagues into Egypt. The second of those plagues was frogs. EVERYWHERE. Frogs in their houses, in their bedrooms, in their beds, in their servant's houses, and even ON the Egyptians and their servants! Can you imagine? (I can't imagine touching one frog, much less having wall-to-wall frogs in my house, in my bed, and hopping all over me!) But this is the part of the story that always gets me. When Moses went to Pharaoh and asked him when he should remove the frogs, you know what Pharaoh said? "Tomorrow." Uh…what??? WHY would Pharaoh want his people to spend even one more night with the frogs? It seems weird, but how often in life do we wait around in rotten situations, like Pharaoh did with the frogs, instead of starting NOW? If you still haven't taken your life back with Code Red...or you're figuratively "sleeping with the frogs" in some other part of your life...

Almost every day, I hear someone say something that just isn't true: "Weight loss is all mental." If weight loss was ALL mental, you could sit around and think your way to goal weight (without having to address what you're doing that's causing your weight problem in the first place). Does mindset have a place? Oh, absolutely! The right mindset makes everything easier. But weight loss is not "all" mental. That's like saying getting your car out of the garage and into the grocery store parking lot is ALL mental. Unless you're telekinetic, no, it isn't!

It was 2016, and I was sitting across the table from a lady who'd put on some weight. I didn't say a word about her weight, but she knew what I did and opened up to me. I asked if she'd thought about doing a custom program with me. "Look, I know what to do," she said. Andrea Dell, my Director of Coaching and a Code Red Certified Coach, heard a speaker at a summit in 2019 point out that just because you learn something doesn't mean you can LIVE it. We're SO conditioned to think that learning something is enough to be able to DO it. If your goal is to memorize information so you can pass a test or win on Jeopardy, then yeah, learning is enough. But if you want to transform, just learning what to do won't cut it. People get caught in this cycle of thinking that all their problems will be solved if they just find the right "new information." To hear why that kind of thinking is destroying your ability to get and keep the transformation you want--like losing weight and keeping it off--join me and Andrea for this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle. ---- 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

Can you imagine losing over 200 pounds? Lory doesn't need to imagine it, because a year and a half ago she weighed 355 pounds. She vividly remembers how often she traveled at that size and the challenges that came with it, like slogging through airports drenched in sweat... Like making sure she wasn't bumping into people as she boarded and got off the plane... Like hoping she wasn't seated next to someone who was as big as she was, because they'd be "spilling over" onto each other. (That did happen a few times, and it was super uncomfortable.) The armrests cut into her thighs and she wanted to leave them up, but didn't because she didn't think it wasn't fair to the other passengers. She got tired of asking for the seat belt extender, so ordered her own off Amazon. At work conferences, she'd sit all day in seats that didn't fit and bit into her legs, so she'd always try to find the widest chair possible. Travel anxieties like these are just a fraction of the extreme hardships Lory found relief from after losing over 200 pounds with real food, water, and sleep on the Code Red Lifestyle™.

I get these questions all the time: "Cristy, what supplements do you offer?" and "Which supplements should I take?" In this week's episode, Cari and I sit down to talk you through which supplements Code Red currently offers and what they do for you. If you've ever looked at Code Red supplements and been curious, but unsure which ones to take (or what they do), then tune into this week's podcast and get a full breakdown. Code Red supplements are safe and absorbable because they're made with bioavailable components. There's no junk, no crazy pharmaceuticals, and no addictive drugs. If you're getting crap multivitamins from big box stores you're getting little to no benefit from them. (You may as well eat your money and poop that out.) You're also getting all the fillers and additives, which can inflame your body. Pretty backwards thing to have happen with a nutritional supplement that's supposed to HELP your body. If you decide Code Red supplements aren't for you, that's fine. But before you decide either way (or if you're just curious), tune into this episode and get the details on which supplements I offer and what each one does, so you have all the information you need to make a decision that's right for YOU. ---- 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

This podcast episode is about why success is next to impossible without enough skin in the game. People message me all the time and say, "I bought a Home Study program for my nephew, and he never even did it," or "I bought a Home Study program for my mom, and she never lost any weight with it." This is sad, but it doesn't surprise me at all, because I've NEVER seen anybody succeed when they don't have skin in the game. Meaning, they're not going to value something they get for free because people do not value free (especially if someone else forces it on them, even with good intentions). It's the same if you buy something for your kids vs. if you make them purchase part of it themselves. If they help buy it, they will appreciate it more. (Same deal with their time. If they help choose and cook breakfast, they'll be more invested in eating it.) It's not about the money (or even the time) itself. It's about the fact that most people aren't invested enough if they don't trade something of value to them in order to get a result they say they want. Some people do pay and STILL won't work the program. For example, people buy online courses or a book, then don't take the course, won't watch the videos, and won't read the book...all because it's not worth their time to finish it. They just don't have ENOUGH skin in the game. I can't even wrap my head around instant or easy success. Any success I have sure as heck wasn't instant. I paid for it with blood, sweat, and tears. I've got a documentary coming out, and Lord knows most people who see it will say I'm an overnight success. Nope. It's taken me 25 years to become an “overnight” success. Code Red is the easiest hard out there, but people on our program have had to cry at times and say no to the chili feeds and bake sales. They've had to measure their food, spend Sundays getting their chicken cooked, and take their water bottle wherever they go. The gimmicky quick fix is appealing. I get it. AND nobody's gonna hand your success to you. Even if they did, then without skin in the game, you wouldn't value it, so you wouldn't be satisfied with it. "Well, you don't know me, Cristy." Maybe not, but I know human nature, and without skin the game, we don't value what we have (or what we COULD have if we'd just do our part to get it). If you've been avoiding "having" to put skin in the game with Code Red - or in ANY area of your life - then tune into this episode to help you understand how and why you're not actually protecting yourself by avoiding that investment of time/and or money. (The opposite - you're hurting your ability to succeed, BIG TIME.) ---- 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

In this episode we're talking about yo-yo dieting. My mom said something funny but true about losing weight: The more you yo-yo, the harder the "yo" gets. In other words, the more your weight bounces up, the harder it is to get it back down. I'm not trying to discourage you if you've fallen off the wagon. I get it and Code Red is here for you! What I'm saying is that yo-yoing brings physical and psychological problems that get worse the more you do it. To be clear, that doesn't mean all hope is lost. It DOES mean that you can make things easier on yourself by stopping the yo-yo NOW. In this episode I'll dive into yo-yoing and how you can put a stop to it. Some of what I say is gonna surprise you. (The Cristy of six years ago would NEVER have said it!)

This episode is probably gonna ruffle some feathers, and in true Cristy form, I'm leaning into it! Here's the deal. We all wanna hit the pause button on life sometimes. The problem with that is, in life you're always moving in one direction or another, even when it "feels like" you're pausing. For example, people wanna pause their fitness routine (if you're into that) or their healthy eating over the holidays. They wanna pause walking their dog twice a day, or pause posting on social media to grow their business. What they don't realize is that they aren't "pausing" anything. Instead, they've pivoted from moving toward something to moving away from it. It really begs the question: Why does pausing something we know is important come so easily, while staying in momentum feels like a grind...and why is the urge to pause much worse during the holidays? That's exactly what I'm gonna cover in this episode. If you're struggling to stay committed to something, or just want momentum to build on your commitment, tune in to understand why something "harmless" like hitting the pause button on what's important is a disaster waiting to happen. ---- 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

Most people want change without having to change. The thing is, change is inevitable. You can wait around for it to strike in the form of disaster, or you can design it yourself and have some control over it. Training a dog is a great example of this. A trained dog is easier to control than an untrained dog. The catch is, you've gotta design how you want your dog to behave, and then train it to meet that design. You can also leave your dog to its own devices...it'll do what dogs do...and it'll probably turn into a "disaster" of a dog. Same with anything in your life. Your relationships, your finances, your health, how you spend your time... You can either design it into what you want it to be...or you can wait around for it to turn into a disaster. And while you can't control every little thing that happens, I guarantee you have more impact on your own life (and health) than you think. So for tips on how to design what you desire (instead of suffer with disasters), tune into this episode. ---- 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

In this week's episode we're talking about doing TOO much to get a result you want (like weight loss). It's pretty easy to get sucked into thinking you need "all the bells and whistles"....even though they won't do jack squat to move the needle in whatever result you're working to get for yourself. Case in point: I once bought an Oura Ring and paid over $300 for it. It's a beautiful ring that looks like a wedding ring, and it measures all sorts of metrics in your body, including core temperature, heart rate variability, and tons of other stuff. In other words, it had all the bells and whistles. But I ended up just selling it, all because it measured TOO MUCH stuff that I didn't understand or care about...stuff that wasn't going to move the needle for me. A lot of people fall prey to complicated bells and whistles that promise you everything but the kitchen sink...while simultaneously ignoring the non-negotiable basics that actually move the needle. That's why, in this week's new podcast episode, Cari and I are gonna give you a simple way to cut through the clutter and stay focused on what will actually move the needle... While protecting yourself from stuff that may sound neat - and isn't necessarily "bad" - but won't actually help you get the result you want (like 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

This episode is all about navigating the holidays when you're on a weight loss/health journey. There's a lot to love about the holidays...but the holidays can also be so incredibly tough. There's the stress and pressure of all the extra obligations..of feeling lonely...of missing loved ones you either don't get to see or who are gone. And if you're on a health journey, it adds yet another layer of challenges. Many Rebels go into the holidays feeling massive anxiety about it. First, the Halloween candy moves in. And then it's on clearance for 80% off and it's hard to turn down. And then they have candy and cookies and other sweets at the bank, the doctor's office, the pharmacy, and even the gym (seriously???). For nearly four months you're bombarded. That's a third of the year! It's no wonder the average American gains 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's. So what do you do if you're feeling conflicted because there are parts of the holidays you love, but parts you don't? And what can you do when you feel trapped by the onslaught of holiday foods and treats?

Have you gone from program to program to program to lose weight? If you're like most people, the answer is YES. Maybe you've even been successful with Code Red and swore up and down you were "never going back"... And then you DID go back. Maybe you even joined some other program thinking IT would be the magic fix you need to stop regaining weight. Either way, tune into this episode , where I'm joined by my sister, Cari, to talk about program switching. Specifically, we'll dive into why program switching is probably hurting you more than you realize... Especially if you're doing it because you're looking for something you think "isn't restrictive."

This might sound crazy, but a surprising number of people are scared of goal weight. What's more, people who struggle with this don't expect to struggle with it. But as they get close to goal weight, they start "stalling" and think it's because they're close to goal. As in, "Does it get harder to lose weight the closer you get to goal?" No, it doesn't. And yet, some people experience weight loss stalls as they get close to goal...not because their body starts to resist dropping the weight, but because of what's going on between their ears. In this episode, I'm diving into what's going on when you get close to goal and then "stall."

I live my life out loud. The good, the bad, and the ugly. And often that shows up on episodes of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle, including this week's episode. For this one, I gathered up your most asked questions for 2023. Join me for this raw, transparent episode and get my answers to these five questions people keep asking me: Why did you start THE SHIFT? What is the difference between Code Red and SHIFT? Will you compete again in bodybuilding? What happened to Cari? Does she still work for Code Red? Are you and Brad dating? (Yes, people keep asking me #5.

I get asked this question all the time: "Cristy, how do I build more confidence?" It always shocks me how little confidence most people have. Next to self-worth, it's probably the biggest thing people struggle with. I think it's pretty well known that I've got loads of confidence. I'm 47. I've lived a lot of life, and I've done a lot of things. But I know a lot of people my age who don't have a lot of confidence, so it's not just an age thing. So why is it that I have so much confidence, even in things that I don't know how to do, including in things I'm not skilled at and in situations I've never been in? Why won't you see me freak out, get all embarrassed, hide my face, and start laughing nervously or talking bad about myself, even when doing something I don't know how to do (and am not very good at)? And how can you restore your confidence (and even take it to all new heights)? Find out in this podcast episode. I really think the world would be so much better if people had more confidence.

This episode is all about how you could be sabotaging yourself with your words...and not even realize it. I learned about the power of words when I was very young. I would say, “I can't, I can't, I can't,” a lot because I believed that I couldn't. Then my mom caught me saying it and told me, “You are NOT, ‘Cristy, I can't!' You are, ‘Cristy, I can!'” I believed her, and it totally shifted what I believed I could do in life. You cannot be successful if your words aren't right. You've got to watch your mouth! Thoughts become things, but words give our thoughts power. And you can create OR destroy just from what you say. Tune into this episode to hear more examples of how and why to "watch your mouth" if you actually wanna get and stay successful with your goals (including your weight loss). ---- Become a Code Red 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

In this week's podcast episode, Brad and I are sharing how The SHIFT can help you create the life of your dreams (including a healthy body). You've heard me talk about The SHIFT, a new company I co-founded with Brad Pickett. The SHIFT focuses on mind, body, AND spirit, so for a lot of people, it's the missing component they need to be successful (including in weight loss). What I didn't realize for a long time is that for a surprising number of people, just the THOUGHT of success can be daunting. It might be success at weight loss, financial success, relationship success - pretty much anything. For some, it's a self-worth issue. They don't believe they deserve success. For others, the success they want is so different from anything they've ever known that they don't believe it's possible. Whatever the reason, it makes it challenging to set and pursue goals because you keep thinking, "What if I'm not successful?" Or worse, "What if I AM successful? What will I have to give up?" Listen, you deserve a great life. Heck, I'd even go so far as to say you're obligated to go out and make a great life, so you can be the most AND best for all the people relying on you. For help with that and a lot more, tune into this episode for the missing component to achieving the life of your dreams. ---- Become a Shift VIP: https://21dayshift.com/vip ---- Time to make a shift: https://21dayshift.com ---- Become a Code Red 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

This week's topic isn't directly related to weight loss, health, or nutrition. But it could be impacting your ability to stay on track. I know because this topic is something I didn't actually wanna get into. I felt resistance and I didn't wanna know the truth. At the same time, I DO want to learn, because when it comes to relationships, I don't wanna make the same mistakes I've already made. To help me help you with this, too, I invited special guest Brad Pickett onto the podcast to talk about choosing how someone loves us. As in, when it comes to love, we want to CHOOSE how other people love us. We want to change them to be who WE think they should be. When it's clear they aren't gonna change (or if they do, it's just to get us to shut up about it, so they resent us while only pretending to change), we get mad at THEM... When really, we're the ones who put these expectations on another person that they didn't ask for. Listen, there's nothing wrong with asking for what you want. But expecting someone to change who they are to love you how you say you want to be loved is trying to choose how someone loves you. And your expectations could be the source of fights, arguments and other problems in your life. Tune into this episode for more help understanding why you don't get to choose how someone loves you...including what that means, why it's true, and how accepting it will set you free.   ---- Time to make a shift: https://21dayshift.com ---- 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

On this week's episode, special guest Brad Pickett is back to talk about what we're calling “the most misunderstood word.” It is absolutely hands down NOT what you think! Understanding this word will help you break free if you're in circumstances where you feel powerless, such as: I can't make more money because my boss won't give me a raise I can't be happy because my spouse isn't happy I can't lose weight because of my genetics Taking your life back, like we do on Code Red, is about so much more than "losing weight." It's about understanding and owning how much power you actually have in your life, regardless of your current circumstances or what other people are doing. Tune into this week's podcast episode to learn "the most misunderstood word" and how to use it to take your power back and start getting the results you want in your life, no matter what's going on around you. ---- Time to make a shift: https://21dayshift.com ---- 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

This week's episode features one of the most requested topics we've ever had: Code Red vs. Ozempic. Ozempic is a weekly injection that helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin. It's not "officially" approved for weight loss, but when doctors noticed that people taking Ozempic were losing weight, they found ways to prescribe it to people who need to lose weight...even if those people are not diabetic. Because Ozempic's been bastardized and abused, we're seeing a LOT of side effects, including stuff as serious as pancreatitis. What happens to food in the stomach of those taking Ozempic can also be pretty scary. To hear Cari and I break down ALL the details about how Ozempic works in the body, the side effects no one tells you about, and how it compares to Code Red for weight loss, check out this week's episode! You'll also hear us disagree on Ozempic's uses, so tune in to hear exactly what we disagreed about (and why we ended up on the same page by the end of the episode). ---- 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

Brad Pickett joins me again for this week's podcast, and we'll be talking about voting...but probably not in the way you're thinking. Yes, you go to the polls and vote for politicians. And any time you buy something, you're voting with your dollar (whether you realize it or not). But neither of those are the kind of voting Brad and I are talking about in this week's new podcast. We're talking about voting with your THOUGHTS. Seriously, did you know that with EVERY thought, you are voting for your future? Most people don't realize it, but we CONSTANTLY have thoughts. (Some people call it "inner dialogue.") Some thoughts are pretty silly. Some are positive. Some are negative. And those negative thoughts can be a real problem. I first became aware of my thoughts back in 2016, when I met my first business coach, Natasha. She came into my office for weight loss and went on to lose 55.5 pounds in five months. Then she started helping me with my business and my mindset, and one of the first things we worked on were my thoughts. When I followed her suggestions, my world took a complete 180-degree turn! It was crazy (in a good way)! Fast forward to this year, after I implemented the SHIFT Protocol (which teaches you how to make your thoughts work FOR you instead of against you), my world took another huge turn for the better, including my ability to comfortably stay on track with my healthy eating. To learn how your thoughts are either "voting" for a future you want or one you don't, tune into this week's new podcast episode! ---- Time to make a shift: https://21dayshift.com ---- 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

In this week's episode, Andrea Dell, a Code Red Certified Coach and Code Red's Director of Coaching, joins me to talk about something anyone who's been at all successful with Code Red knows: That weight loss is not just weight loss. We go into weight loss THINKING that's all it'll be about. Our clothes will fit better, we can get around easier, we're less embarrassed at our appearance, and so on. But what ends up happening is that weight loss, while amazing, drops to the bottom of the list of benefits we started enjoying. Tune in to hear Andrea's story about how she discovered Code Red, why she decided to try it out, and especially, how and when she discovered that weight loss is MORE than weight loss...

In this week's podcast, I'm joined by a special guest to talk about something SUPER controversial... Something that's raising a LOT of questions in our world and in health care...because the government (and pharmaceutical companies especially) don't want you to know about it. It has to do with the fact that, globally, we're expecting to see a 300% growth in metabolic syndrome in the next six years. Heck, a third of the U.S. is already diabetic, and it's getting worse all the time! Yet some very BIG corporations don't want you to know just how much power YOU have to dramatically improve your own wellness... And especially, to do it naturally, without their expensive medications (and the nasty side effects that come with them). Tune in for this week's podcast (especially if you are diabetic or pre-diabetic, or are worried you might be) to hear what the government (and Big Pharma) doesn't want you to know about YOUR health. ---- 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

If you've ever gotten to your goal weight, felt lost, and regained weight, this episode will help you understand what happened. Here's the scoop. I boxed as a licensed professional fighter from 2002 to 2010. There was a lot of training, but I loved the feeling of knowing I could do hard things. After I retired from boxing, I felt lost. My identity was no longer "a fighter." To cope with that feeling, I immediately transitioned into another extreme sport: Cycling. And then I trained my butt off for that! Fast forward to this year, and I trained and got on stage for a bodybuilding competition at age 47. There are other really hard things I've sought out in my life, too...like hiking Rim to Rim in the Grand Canyon in 2021...like climbing Mt. Whitney last year...and many others. What doing all these hard things has taught me is that when something is over that you really worked at, you can get depressed. You can feel lost and like you don't have a purpose anymore... Kinda like when you finally get to goal weight and find yourself thinking, "Now what??" In this episode, I'm revealing what YOU can do to prevent the "Now what?" feeling from causing you to re-gain weight after you reach goal. If you're at goal and feeling this way...if you're close to goal...if you're not close, but want to be prepared when you get there...and especially, if you WERE at goal weight but gained back some weight... Tune into this episode to discover the missing link.

This episode is about what it REALLY takes to lose the weight and keep it off. It's not about foods or supplements, or anything else you might think. It's about going the distance. Here's what that means. I fought 15 pro fights all over the world during my boxing career, and in all that time, I was never knocked OUT, even fighting some of the toughest girls on the planet…because I could go the distance. See, one way you decide who to fight in boxing is by scouting the other fighters. As in, can she go the distance? Does she have the stamina to be able to last the whole fight? (A fighter that tires easily makes for a short, boring fight.) Getting what you want in life - like losing the weight and keeping it off for good - requires going the distance, too. You can start with something like the 10 Pound Takedown. That's exactly what I created it for - to help you START and see what you think. But at some point you've gotta decide you'll go the distance and stay in the fight. Because I want you to have what it takes to go all the way, instead of always getting "knocked out" in the first round, this week's episode is all about going the distance. To find out how to still be standing and reach your goals when everyone else has been knocked OUT, check out this episode! ---- 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

Ever tried a weight loss company's processed "weight loss" food? On the surface, it sounds like it'd be a great thing, doesn't it? It's convenient, it's shipped right to you, and it takes the guesswork out of what to eat for weight loss...right? Well...MAYBE...but what happens when you don't wanna pay $400 a month for their "diet" frankenfood anymore? What happens when you go on vacation and don't wanna drag their "diet foods" with you? HAVING to buy some company's processed diet foods to lose weight may sound great in theory... But there are some MAJOR pitfalls, and they can easily trick you into thinking you're "destined to be fat." To find out how and why, plus unravel (or prevent) brainwashing you may have been subjected to by companies that sell processed “diet foods”, check out this week's new podcast episode. We're diving into exactly why buying specialty processed diet foods ain't all it's cracked up to be, and why you do NOT need them to lose all the weight you want! ---- 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

When someone says to you, “You need to stop being so obsessed with your health,” you probably take it as an insult, right? "Obsession" has such a negative connotation that someone calling you obsessed about anything supposedly isn't "nice." But consider which is worse...to be obsessed with exercise and bodybuilding, or obsessed with drugs and alcohol? (We don't exercise for weight loss on Code Red, but you get my point.) Or how about this one...when you go on vacation, you can be obsessed about eating as much unhealthy food as you can get your hands on, or obsessed with healthy choices, getting your water in, and sleeping. And Katie bar the door if you choose real food, water, and sleep over "wine-thirty" and enough dessert to feed an entire small town! Suddenly you're “obsessed” with your health and “no fun!” If someone's called you "obsessed" - and meant it as an insult - with your Code Red Lifestyle™, I recorded this episode for you. I have a totally different outlook on what it means to be obsessed, and in this week's podcast, I call it all out in all its forms to help you see this “insult” differently. ---- 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
