I'm just going to say it—some of the advice we're listening to right now… we need to start considering the source.Because it's really easy to hear someone talk about motherhood, success, or balance and start questioning yourself. Am I doing too much? Not enough? Should I want more?But not every perspective is meant for your life.In this episode, I'm talking about what it means to step back and ask: who is this advice actually for? Because the reality is, a lot of what we hear—about work, parenting, and even our bodies—is coming from people living completely different lives, with completely different priorities and support systems.And while we're trying to keep up with all of that, we're also trying to fix our bodies at the same time. Lose weight. Look a certain way. Feel confident. Do it all.At some point, you have to pause and ask:What do I actually want my life to look like?Not what sounds impressive.Not what works for someone else.Not what you think you should want.I'm sharing my perspective on choosing a life that fits me, why I'm okay where I'm at, and how chasing a “better body” and a “better life” at the same time can keep you stuck if you're not careful.You don't have to follow every piece of advice you hear. You don't have to want more just because someone else does. And you don't need a different body to start living your life.You just need to decide what's actually right for you.Show Notes

You don't need another diet. You need a different life.In this episode, I'm sharing some tough love about the cycle so many women stay stuck in—chasing quick fixes, starting over every Monday, and trying to “fix” their body instead of looking at what's really going on underneath.Because here's the truth: quick fixes don't change your life. They just give you a smaller body in the same life that's making you unhappy.I'm also sharing a glimpse into my recent travels and the life I've created—one that didn't come from a crash diet, but from making a decision a long time ago to stop putting my life on hold.If you've been waiting to lose weight before you start living, this episode is your wake-up call.You don't need a smaller body. You need a bigger life.Show Notes

One of my clients recently hit a fun milestone: she went below her goal weight. When that happens, I always unpack exactly how she got there — because understanding what worked is just as important as the result itself. What she didn't do: cut out sugar, go on a shake fast, or willpower her way through cravings. What she did do: have a really good cookie most nights. Your Invitation If you've been going around in circles with food and weight — trying things, getting somewhere, then ending up back at square one — it's not your fault. You've been using strategies that don't work for the long term. I can help you find a strategy that works. I'm offering a limited number of one-on-one clarity calls where we get on Zoom, just the two of us and map out a simple, personalised plan to get you to your ideal place with food and your body. If you' want to stop searching and start knowing exactly what to do, click here for all the details.

Most people know how to lose weight.The challenge is keeping it off.In this episode, I talk about the shift from fat loss to maintenance — what actually changes, what stays the same, and why long-term results come down to more than just food.We cover habits, mindset, emotional eating, and the identity shifts that make weight loss sustainable — so you're not stuck starting over again.For help and guidance in applying this to your life and your goals, apply for Online Coaching here:⁠⁠Online Weight Loss Coaching⁠⁠And if you have any questions or want to get in touch, email hayley@hayleyplummer.co.ukOr come find me on social media:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/hayleyplummerpt/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/hayleyplummerpt/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

You've hit your goal weight… so why does it still feel fragile?

If you've ever believed that once you hit your goal weight, everything just clicks into place… you're not alone. We're often taught that weight loss works like this: First you lose the weight → then you arrive at your goal → and somehow, maintenance just happens. Like the clouds part, the angels sing, and suddenly you know exactly how to live there forever. But that's not how it works. The truth is—long-term weight maintenance doesn't begin after you reach your goal weight. It begins long before you ever get there. Because there's a powerful difference between: Losing weight and Building a life where you can actually live at your ideal weight—with peace, confidence, and consistency. One is about getting the weight off. The other is about becoming the person who can truly stay there. And if you don't start building that version of you now, maintenance will always feel fragile… temporary… and hard to hold onto. In this week's episode, I'm walking you through what really needs to start happening before you hit your goal weight—so you can create long-term, permanent weight mastery (not just another cycle). Press play and come on in.   Our Semi-Annual LIVE 30-Day SPRING 2026 Shift Weight Mastery Process is NOW ENROLLING!

This is a short episode and a little bit of tough love.I'm recording this a few hours before I get on a plane, and I kept thinking about how many women are waiting to live their lives.

Waiting for the right time, the right body, the right circumstances.So this episode is your reminder: your life is happening right now.Book the trip. Wear the shorts. Go to the pool. Take the picture. Start the thing. Stop waiting for some future version of you to start living.This isn't a dress rehearsal. This is your life.Show Notes

You hit your goal weight. So now what...?For a lot of people, maintenance feels like uncharted territory. And without the right mindset, it's easy to either white-knuckle it or slowly drift back to old patterns. In this episode, I walk through five things I think everyone needs to know about maintenance: why it's not a new phase, how to find the weight you can actually live at, how to monitor without judgment, what to do when your metabolism adapts, and what long-term GLP-1 use really looks like.ReferencesBody Composition Mini CourseFive Mistakes that People Make on a GLP- 1 Mini CourseGet the free podcast roadmap for The Obesity GuideAll of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Chances are... the ‘look' you're working towards isn't gonna appear after losing the weight you're trying to lose.The people you compare ourselves to on social media have a combination of less fat AND more muscle than you do right now.But who gives af what someone else looks like? Wanting to look like someone else shouldn't be the reason you wanna improve your nutrition + fitness habits. Do it because taking care of yourself is the ultimate form of self respect.. and no one else is gonna do it for you.Ironically.. when you shift your mindset from wanting to look like someone else to wanting to create the best version of you.. cool s*** starts to happen.I wanna share a story and make some points you can take with you here. Give it a listen and apply it to whatever season of life you find yourself in right now.

We're talking about five key ideas to understand after reaching your goal weight, including why reverse dieting may maximize your calories for maintenance (without putting on weight), and why the number of calories you diet at may be lower than what you need to maintain your new weight.

On today's episode, I'm sitting down solo to answer a question we've been getting a lot inside the Hot & Healthy Community lately: how to determine a proper goal weight for fat loss. For some women, setting a goal weight can be helpful. For others, it can quietly sabotage their fat loss efforts. That's why in this episode, I'm breaking down five best practices to help you decide whether a goal weight actually makes sense for you — and how to approach it if you choose to set one. I'm also diving into the parameters that should guide whether a goal weight is appropriate, the research-backed numbers you can use to reality check your expectations, and how I recommend using goal weights as a tool (rather than a source of pressure) while you're actively in a fat loss phase. By the end of this episode, you'll feel clearer and more grounded in how to set a personal goal weight for your fitness journey, and how to adjust it as your body and goals evolve. 1:1 Coaching with Lauren and Our Team of Dietitians: HERE To connect with Lauren, click HERE Submit your question for advice from Lauren on the show HERE Take the free Weight Loss Personality Quiz HERE Shop Our Meal Plans HERE Get Support & Personally Work With Us HERE Related Episodes:

You're doing the work. You're being consistent. You know things are changing…But then you take a photo and think, ‘I still look fat.'Welcome to the messy middle. The part no one talks about. It's not exciting. It's not dramatic. It's just hard. And boring. And where you're most likely to quit on yourself. In this episode, we're getting real about:Why this part of the journey feels so uncomfortableThe emotional rollercoaster of “I've changed!” vs “I still look fat”What to do when your body is changing but your mind hasn't caught upHow to keep going when it feels like nothing is working

A struggle that comes up for pretty much everyone, but isn't talked about NEARLY enough in this space? Body dysmorphia.Yep, this one hits DEEP, and is so, so real. It shows up in quiet moments, fitting rooms, mirror reflections, and even when you're crushing your fitness goals. I've felt it, my clients feel it, and I KNOW you do too. Most of us are walking around with some version of it, whether we say it out loud or not.This episode was sparked by a conversation with my client Julie (who's been KILLIN' IT), and a reel that broke me wide open (the creator is linked below).

The Easiest Way to Change Your Eating Habits and Reach Your Goal Weight | Ep #636 | The JoLynn Braley Show Original copyrighted content published December 26, 2024 at https://fearlessfatloss.com/podcast/easiest-way-change-eating-habits-reach-goal-weight

It's time to stop waiting for the weight. Stop letting the emotional weight hold you down from who you're meant to be. This is your sign to take action.There are TWO juicy offers happening right now, and I don't want you to miss either one:

Ever find yourself brushing off compliments about your weight loss with a “Thanks, but…” followed by a list of why you're not good enough yet? This episode dives into the self-sabotage behind downplaying your wins. I'm calling out the perfectionist, all-or-nothing thinking that keeps you stuck in the "never enough" cycle. Let's unpack why it's so hard to own your success—and how to start seeing yourself the way others already do.

Downhill doesn't have to be a bad thing. What if life were as easy as coasting downhill? I don't see a problem with that! This is a chit-chatty type of episode as I catch you up and get back in the swing of podcasting after a rough month after losing my sweet Chuy dog. 

I recently said goodbye to my FURST baby, Chuy. I miss him so much, but his spirit will forever live on because he's the reason I started this podcast! He taught me so much about life. He was the greatest chapter of my life and the best adventure. This is a deeply personal episode as I share the story of how Chuy inspired Irresistible You, how we had to say goodbye after almost 16 years, and how we ALL need to start living life just like a dog.

Today was a totally random episode. Just an off the cuff ranting and raving by me, as I navigate the fuckery of life. The takeaway from this episode is that no matter what you have going on, you will be OK and two things can be true at once. Life can be hard and beautiful at the same time! Irresistible Links

I was at Medieval Times and walked past the mirror and didn't recognize myself for a minute. Even though I haven't had a huge weight loss recently, I'm down over 70 lbs and my body is constantly shifting and adjusting. It's hard to recognize this new version of you especially when you're stuck somewhere between being "fat" and not quite at your goal weight yet.  When your body goes through changes from weight loss but your brain hasn't caught up we call that "ghost fat." Ever lost weight and still felt...the same? Or caught a glimpse of yourself and wondered who's staring back? Join me as I unpack the reality of not recognizing your ownbody after weight loss. This is the juicy stuff that diet culture or the "before and after" infomercials don't teach you. Irresistible Links

Do you suffer from seasonal amnesia? Do you find yourself not understanding how you got here again?

Are you sick and tired of waking up to a new season and not having any clothes that fit you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this episode may be right for you. Irresistible Links

Worried that they're judging you for your weight? Let them! In this episode, we're unpacking the "Let Them" theory. More importantly, we're flipping the script with our "Let You" method, which focuses on silencing the 'inner fat bitch.'Irresistible Links

Exciting News, Queens!

What is Your Almost Weight? It's that exact number on the scale where you've historically thrown in the towel. You know the drill: every time you start making progress, something pulls you back, and before you know it, you're telling yourself, 'I'll start over Monday.'  Here's a news flash! You are self-sabotaging your weight loss. But, why? That's what we're digging into on this episode. Support the show

Self love isn't a reward for losing weight. It's a necessity for losing weight and keeping it off! Let's dive into what real self-love means and why it's not always rainbows and butterflies. Irresistible Links

Let's take a time machine back to what it was like to diet in the 90's. We were really out here desperate dieting with paper tracking journals and books to look up the points while we sat in the drive-thru. Fast forward to now, and it's a whole new world – YouTube workouts, TikTok recipes, and digital tools are at our fingertips, making weight loss more accessible than ever. But here's the kicker: why, with all these amazing tools, do we still find ourselves on the yo-yo diet roller coaster?

Imagine being able to stop attaching your self-worth to the number on the scale. This isn't just a dream; it's entirely possible with the right system. Introducing Irresistible You—now as a self-study program designed for personal transformation at your pace, without the pressure of group coaching. This program equips you with practical, actionable strategies to shatter the body hate-shame cycle. Whether you've struggled with self-esteem, felt trapped by the scale, or are simply ready to step into a life of empowerment, this course is your gateway to becoming the best version of yourself. In this episode, I share where the course came from, what's included, how to enroll, a special promo code, and more! Irresistible Links

Pam has struggled with her weight for most of her life. It's taken years of her life and brain space and she constantly felt like a failure until she finally learned about habit change!! As she says in the episode “no one can lose weight in their 60s, that's what I was told…” But she's defined ALL the odds and how has complete food freedom and weighs less than she did in high school!!
