Podcasts about goal weight

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). I realized how often we think we'll feel “better” when we reach our goal, but even then, we still pick ourselves apart. Even after we have incredible, life-changing results on our fitness journeys, we're STILL our biggest critics. Body dysmorphia doesn't *magically* go away, just because you fit into a smaller pair of jeans.If you've ever reached a goal, only to find new insecurities waiting for you, this episode is for you. You're not broken, and you're definitely NOT alone!!In this episode, we cover:Why unf*cking your fitness goes way beyond macros & workoutsHow social media feeds body image struggles Julie's powerful transformation + why she's still her own worst criticWhy always wanting to “do more” in fitness, parenting, or life isn't a bad thingWhy body dysmorphia can actually get worse, the fitter you getPractical ways to combat body dysmorphia on your journeyUnderstanding that reaching your “goal body” isn't the finish line, because you've got to maintain itWhy compliments are rare (especially IRL) + why you don't need themThe real flex of building self-confidence, self-love, and owning your imperfectionsLinks/Resources:Follow @mattyq.fitness on InstagramJoin IT GIRL Community Membership Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

If you're only focused on shrinking your body, you're missing the real transformation.This episode goes beyond the scale to talk about what holds you back, and it's not just the number.In this episode, I'm getting into the real weight that's keeping you stuck:The toxic self-talk running on autopilotThe emotional eating you use to numb outThe dead relationships and friendships dragging you downThe pressure to be perfect before you can feel good in your skinThe “inner fat b*tch” voice that shames you into silenceThe belief that life will finally begin once you hit your goal weightWeight loss might be the goal, but healing the emotional weight is what sets you free.If you're tired of losing the same pounds over and over while your confidence stays buried underneath guilt, shame, and fear… this one's for you.

In this episode, we tackle a mindset that keeps so many stuck in the cycle of yo-yo dieting: the obsession with hitting a specific goal weight.

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. 

In this episode, I'm diving into the hidden cost of weight loss that nobody talks about: Your relationship with food, your mental health, and your quality of life.Here's what we cover:Why you'll never stop thinking about food (and why that's normal)How unrealistic expectations around weight loss destroy your happinessThe comparison between love, relationships, and your relationship with foodHow chasing goal weight at any cost ruins quality of lifeThe truth about pregnancy, stress, grief, and how they amplify underlying issuesWhy emotional eating gets worse — not because of life events, but because of unresolved habitsThe real reason many women regain weight after dietingWhy sustainable weight loss must include protecting your mental and emotional healthHow one “night out” can snowball into a third of your weekWhy the real goal isn't weight loss — it's keeping your quality of life intactThis episode is your reminder: Weight loss should never cost you your happiness, your relationship with food, or your life. Do it the right way — so you don't just lose the weight, you keep everything that matters most.Send me your question or feedback

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

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!!

In today's episode, I'm diving into the uncomfortable truth about what it really costs to chase that magic number on the scale. If you've ever thought, “I'm happiest at this weight, but it's impossible to stay there,” then buckle up—this is for you.We're breaking down why sacrificing your mental and emotional well-being for a clothing size or scale number isn't just unsustainable—it's robbing you of true happiness. I'll share what it means to find your best weight, where food feels easy, your mind feels free, and your body feels good.✨ What you'll hear:* Why “happiness” tied to a number is a lie—and what's actually keeping you stuck.* The red flags that signal your weight loss approach isn't sustainable.* How to finally feel at ease around food without tracking every bite.* What it really takes to align your goals with your values (hint: it's not another diet).And, come join me for Coaching Office Hours this Friday Jan 17 from 10-1130am EST.  Come get your questions answered (for free) by someone you trust instead of watching another what I eat in a day Tik Tok video and hoping for the best.

In this Q&A episode about nutrition, I'm covering the following questions: What should your weight goal be? Why can't you stick to any diet, no matter how many you try? Can you have higher- and lower-calorie days in a bulking phase? Why are other people losing weight faster than you?

We're getting real about one of the scariest parts of any weight loss journey: giving up on yourself. This episode dives deep into those haunting thoughts—the inner fat bitch, the self-doubt, and the voice in your head saying, “What's the point?” just because the scale isn't moving. Are you prepared to feel that disappointment, frustration, and discomfort all over again? Are you ready for your clothes to get tight and to dread looking in the mirror? If the answer is no, then it's time to show up for yourself and push through. If you've ever felt like throwing in the towel, this one's for you. It's time to break free from the ghosts of self-sabotage and show up for yourself, even when the journey feels hard as hell. 

You might be waiting until you reach your goal weight to do some things. You might be waiting to see people you haven't seen in awhile, waiting to buy and wear cute clothes, waiting to be more active, so many things. But, waiting to do those things might actually be perpetuating your binge eating. How? I'll explain it in this episode. I'll also show you how you can yourself to do all the things you're waiting to do now, before you lose even one pound. Listen to find out how because it will make your life so much better.   Interested in working with me?

Hello my friends! I'm so excited to have you with me this week for a topic that's important to me and our Project Weight Loss journey—loving yourself even when you're not at your ideal weight. In this episode, I explore the delicate balance between self-love and self-improvement. Is it possible to fully embrace who we are right now while still working towards our goals? Absolutely! I'll share insights from my own journey, and we'll dive into what the Stoics, like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, have to say about self-acceptance and inner contentment. We often feel that we can only love ourselves once we've reached our "goal weight" or some external benchmark, but that mindset can actually hold us back. Together, we'll uncover how to love ourselves at every stage of our journey, while still striving for growth.I'll also be answering a big question: How do we reconcile self-love with the drive to change? Tune in to hear practical strategies, and don't miss the quote of the week from Glennon Doyle – "We can do hard things. We can love ourselves and work to become who we are meant to be, at the same time." Thank you for being here, and I can't wait to share this special episode with you!Hello my friends!

Today's episode is a question we get a lot with a nuanced answer you deserve to hear... There's a large psychological mistake that isn't your fault that many women struggle with when it comes to getting to their goal weight. The number 1 mistake is you're probably making is having unrealistic expectations⁣.⁣Losing body fat takes longer than you want⁣ and you didn't gain fat in a month so don't expect it to fall off⁣ in a month (honesty is the best policy here). In order to sustainably lose weight, you need to be in a moderate calorie deficit⁣.⁣⁣If it takes burning 3,500 calories to lose a lb of fat (500 calorie deficit a day), it would take 1 week to lose a pound of fat.⁣If your goal is 30 lbs of fat loss⁣, realistically it'll take 6-8 months to lose 30 lbs⁣. It took me 8 months last year to lose about 20-25lbs (I look like I lost more because I had a lot of inflammation on my body) It's also worth mentioning that when we refer to weight, everyone really occupies a weight range. This is also why it can be frustrating for women especially when trying to lose weight within a month, because you can gain weight over your cycle.  Compare month over month at the same points in your cycle, not week over week! Also with knowing that it takes 3500 calorie deficit to lose a lb of fat per week, this is also worth mentioning that that requires consistency and accuracy. In this episode, we'll talk through all of this in more depth and why a slower approach is better in most cases.  Time Stamps:  (2:32) Digging Deeper With Clients (4:24) Reaching Your Goal Weight (7:12) How To Be In A Calorie Deficit (10:42) The Psychological Side (16:17) Why Slower Is Better In Most Cases (24:47) Getting The “Losing Weight Too Quickly” Comment---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

I'm back after taking a break last week. This is not my greatest episode, but I'm here, and done is better than perfect. Right? I'm talking about how important it is to take a break when you're in the middle of a personal crisis or event requiring all your attention. I'm doing great this week, but I'm tired. That's all. I hope you can at least grab a gem or two from this one. Links Mentioned
