Podcasts about weight loss goals

Ready to tackle one of the most confusing topics on your body image journey? In this powerful episode of the Waiting for Weight Loss series, host Heather Creekmore breaks down the critical difference between body issues and body image issues—and why this distinction can completely shift how you approach your weight loss and self-acceptance goals. Drawing from 15 years of experience teaching fitness classes coast-to-coast, Heather Creekmore shares real-life observations about the rarity of dramatic, sustainable "before and after" transformations—and why even those success stories might not provide true happiness. She encourages listeners to look beyond the “fix my body” mindset, and instead, turn inward to address the root of dissatisfaction: what we believe and feel about our bodies. In This Episode: The definition of body image issues (and why it's not just about size or shape) Personal stories and real examples from Heather Creekmore’s years as a fitness instructor The celebrity body image illusion—why even supermodels and stars struggle with feeling “enough” How addressing your body image can relieve pressure and lead to real freedom (before the number on the scale changes) Important questions to help you assess where you might be stuck in body image thinking Heather Creekmore invites everyone to join the ongoing discussion at waitingforweightloss.com, a supportive community where listeners can dig deeper, share their experiences, and get their questions answered directly on the show.

Send us a textResolutions don't work without a decision. We open with three unforgettable transformations—a highway worker shedding 220 pounds through daily walks and a simple menu, a granddad reclaiming the floor with a six-inch plate, and a construction pro who walked in rain, sleet, and blazing sun to lose 160 pounds on keto. Each story proves the turning point isn't a trend or gadget; it's the choice to change, followed by small, repeatable habits that outlast motivation.From there we get practical and candid about GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide. We explain who typically qualifies, how insurers think about A1C thresholds and sleep apnea, and what real patients experience with appetite suppression, steady weight loss, and reduced reliance on other diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol meds. We talk costs, access hurdles, side effects that are common versus rare, and the monitoring that keeps therapy safe. You'll hear how one retiree called six months of treatment the best money he ever spent on his health—and how others used these tools to unlock mobility, confidence, and longevity.We also step back to look at how culture shapes metabolism. Stories from a South Pacific island and repeated trips to Haiti reveal how shifting from local foods and daily walking to a Westernized diet drove obesity, diabetes, and GI disease within a generation. The pattern is clear: when food quality drops and movement declines, chronic illness rises. Our closing playbook is straightforward—portion control, protein-forward meals, fewer refined carbs, daily movement, restorative sleep, and an accountability partner who helps you keep promises to yourself. Use GLP-1s wisely if you need them, build habits that last, and choose the path that lets you enjoy the years ahead.If this conversation helped you think differently about weight loss, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review so others can find the show.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

Looking for books that will completely change the way you think about weight, health, and body image? From surprising medical history to cultural myths we've quietly absorbed, these reads helped me question where our ideals about "healthy," "thin," and "ideal" actually come from.

How do stress and sleep disruption stop fat loss? And what can you do to get your body working with you, not against you? I hear it all the time: you're eating right, lifting weights, and doing cardio, yet the weight scale won't budge. In this episode, I break down how chronic stress and poor sleep quietly sabotage fat loss by disrupting cortisol, insulin, hunger hormones, and metabolism. I also share the exact strategies I use to protect my sleep, calm stress, and keep my metabolism working with me instead of against me. What you'll learn: (02:42) Why chronically elevated cortisol drives insulin resistance, belly fat, and steady weight gain over time. (04:32) How stress hormones increase cravings and rewire appetite toward sugary foods. (06:59) How short sleep disrupts leptin, ghrelin, and blood sugar control. (07:46) Why even one night of poor sleep can increase insulin resistance and slow metabolism. (09:22) How poor sleep disrupts growth hormone release and muscle repair. (11:27) Why eating protein first and pairing it with fiber stabilizes blood sugar and supports fat loss. (14:57) How meal timing and caffeine cutoffs directly impact cortisol and sleep quality.

You know exactly what you should eat. You know you need eight hours of sleep. You know you should move your body. Yet here you are at 10 PM with a pint of ice cream, wondering why you can follow through on work deadlines and family responsibilities but can't stick to your own health goals. The disconnect isn't about willpower—it's about how you talk to yourself when things don't go according to plan. This week, I'm breaking down how to have actual peace during the holidays with your weight loss goals—not the fake "I'll start in January" peace that's really just procrastination wrapped in holiday lights. You'll discover why your approach to failure determines everything about whether you'll succeed, how the same encouragement you'd give a five-year-old learning to tie shoes is exactly what you need to give yourself, and why your battlefield-like inner self-talk is the real reason you sabotage your own goals. I'll share Brené Brown's marble jar concept and how I adapted it for building self-trust with urges, plus my own vulnerable story about catching myself in diet mentality last Friday even after years of doing this work. Tune in as I walk you through the three pillars of peaceful goal-setting: making goals with possibility instead of fear, understanding the real science of how your brain and body connect, and implementing practical strategies that actually create change. You'll learn why 99% of diets fail (and why beating yourself up guarantees you'll be part of that statistic), discover the power of accountability partnerships inside my program, and understand why all the Pinterest boards and saved recipes in the world won't create permanent change without addressing your unique baggage. Ready to stop saying "I'll start in January" and actually mean it? My January course starting January 9th teaches you how to make goals without the failure spiral, or join my lifetime membership program for ongoing support and accountability. Details are HERE! What You'll Learn in this Episode: How your experience with failure shapes your ability to make goals The five-year-old shoe-tying analogy: when did you stop letting yourself learn? Why your inner dialogue sounds like screaming at a child (and how to stop) The connection between Christmas anticipation and post-holiday letdown How negative self-talk creates procrastination, people-pleasing, and perfectionism Brené Brown's marble jar concept adapted for building self-trust with urges Why feelings only come from thoughts (even when circumstances feel urgent) Peace-building thoughts: "I can do hard things" and "I haven't figured this out yet" Dara's vulnerable Friday story: catching diet mentality after years of coaching Why 99% of diets fail and how to be in the 1% The power of accountability partners and real-time coaching Why Pinterest boards and saved recipes won't create permanent change How program connections help women through devastating losses   Stay in touch!

Message me with comments or questionsEver notice how vacations can flip a switch in your brain—from grounded and intentional to impulsive and “whatever goes” almost instantly?In this episode, Kristin explores why travel is such a common trigger for emotional eating—and how you can enjoy food, freedom, and unforgettable experiences without falling into all-or-nothing thinking. Using a real-life cruise story filled with buffets, FOMO, and soft-serve ice cream, she breaks down what's actually happening in your brain when routine disappears—and how to stay connected to who you are, even when everything feels different.You'll learn ten practical, realistic strategies you can actually use on real trips with real temptations. She talks about setting vacation intentions that feel empowering (not restrictive), using first-bite awareness to get more enjoyment from less, and keeping simple anchor habits—like movement, hydration, and a quick morning check-in—to remind your brain, I'm still me.Kristin also dives into emotional awareness on the road, showing how simply naming what you feel can reduce urgency and interrupt the automatic “feel → eat” cycle so many women experience when stress rises or plans change. You'll hear about a 10-second reset you can use anywhere, gentle “plus-one” movement ideas to calm your nervous system, and a satisfy-don't-stuff approach that makes leaving food on your plate (or sharing bites) feel neutral—not shameful.This episode isn't about perfection. It's about coming home feeling proud, energized, and aligned with your goals—without needing a “reset” when you return.If you're traveling soon (or still trying to recover from your last trip), this one's for you.Connect with me online:1.

Did you know that one 20-ounce soda can pack more sugar than five donuts—and still leave you hungry? In this episode, I unpacked the deceptively sweet world of sugar-sweetened beverages from sodas and sweet teas to fruit juices and even those “healthy” smoothies. I busted eight common myths that might be sabotaging your wellness journey without you even realizing it. We talked about how liquid calories sneak past your hunger cues, spike blood sugar, fuel cravings, and trigger fat storage. I broke down why fruit juice isn't the same as whole fruit, why diet sodas and energy drinks aren't a free pass, and why even your favorite boba tea might be more dessert than drink. So whether you're sipping flavored coffee or reaching for coconut water, it's time to start reading those labels. My challenge to you? Swap one sugary drink a day for water or an unsweetened alternative, your body will thank you for it. Ready to take control of your cravings, boost your energy, and finally see results on the scale?

Part 2: In this second part of our live coaching call, we go deeper into what's really behind emotional eating and the stress that keeps us stuck. Because it's not just about the food—it's about what's driving the habits. In this episode, we'll talk about: How to sit with uncomfortable feelings instead of eating through them Simple tools to handle stress in the moment Stress eating This is about learning to feel better—not just pushing through. If you've ever reached for food when you're not hungry, this one's for you. Mentioned in this episode:

Episode Overview Welcome back to another Q+A episode! Today, we are digging into something we don't hear talked about nearly enough: the fear of feeling hunger. Maybe you find yourself eating just in case, or reaching for snacks before you're truly hungry. Not because you're being dramatic, but because hunger feels unsettling, maybe even scary. This fear isn't random. For many women, it's shaped by years of dieting and being praised for enduring hunger like it's a badge of honor. We've been taught that hunger is a sign we're doing something right, and the more uncomfortable we are, the better. But as you probably know, too much hunger can backfire. It leads to urgency, overeating, and a chaotic relationship with food. In this episode, we unpack where the fear of hunger comes from, why it sticks around, and most importantly, how to work through it. If hunger makes you nervous or feels like an emergency, this one's for you.

Women can't seem to get it right. Small but not too thin. Toned but not too muscled. Secure but not too confident. The list goes on. And as we begin to make a big societal shift away from weight equating health (though we still have so far to go), you may feel guilty about wanting to lose weight. In this episode I'm helping you make peace with it, get curious about where it comes from, and still pursue the aesthetic goals that are important to you. Join the Built Bodies WaitlistYour Strongest Body!

Whenever you're going after your specific goals, you have two paths or approaches that you can take. One is low-stress, leads to progress, and will be so much more rewarding and fun. The other seems right, but it's actually a stressful, all-or-nothing, race to some imaginary finish line that you've created in your head. The question is - which approach are you unknowingly taking? If you're taking the wrong approach, then achieving your goals becomes unnecessarily hard. If you're taking the better approach, you'll not only achieve your goals, but change your life in the process. In this episode, I explain these two “paths” and help you figure out which one you've been doing. Plus, I give specific next steps to help you identify and overcome the roadblock between you and your goals.

Have you ever wondered - what do I really hope to gain from losing? Do I just want to lose weight?? Or is there more to it than that?There are 6 distinctly different categories of physical improvement. There definitely can be crossover with these, but make no mistake, they are different. In today's episode, I will explain these 6 categories, so that you can better understand exactly what it is you hope to gain from losing weight. Because . . . The real secret to true weight loss success that will make you amazingly happy is … knowing what you really want. A lot of people THINK they know, but they end up burnt out or disappointed - EVEN IF they achieved great results. This is also a big reason that some people repeatedly struggle to lose weight or just gain it right back. It's because, even though they don't realize it, just losing weight is not what they really want. They want something more. Or maybe they want something quite different, beyond just losing weight. It's time to find clarity. It's time for you to determine what you REALLY want to gain from losing weight.
