Show notes

Gina Livy's Facebook Lives from The Livy Method Winter 2025 Support Group hosted on Facebook. This is a recording of the Day 44, 9 AM live. You can find the full video hosted at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodwinter2025

In this episode, some key weight loss strategies and mindset shifts! We're downsizing one last time and breaking down how this tweak will help you move the needle on the scale. Feeling under the weather? Gina talks about when and how to use the Sickness Protocol. Plus, scale obsession—should you really be weighing yourself multiple times a day? She also gets into food combining for sustained energy, the power of non-scale victories, and the importance of rewiring your mindset for lasting change. Speaking of change, are you embracing it or resisting it? And let’s not forget—language matters! Instead of asking, "What am I doing wrong?" shift to "What's going on with me?" If you're struggling on the weekends or feeling stuck, there are strategies to help. Finally, if you’ve been sick and haven’t been following along, Gina discusses how to get back on track without stress.

Maintenance & Mindfulness: Maintenance Midweek Motivation - February 12, 2025 Feb 12, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Midweek Motivation, Gina and Odette are breaking down what it really means to transition from weight loss to maintenance—because let’s be real, it’s not just about the number on the scale, it’s about understanding how to live there. They’re discussing the mindset shifts that make consistency feel easier (spoiler: it’s not about willpower) and diving into self-care (or self-worship?) strategies that actually support your goals. Plus, a game-changing question: What will you think about when you’re no longer focused on losing weight? It’s all about trusting that the tools you’ve gained are life-long and knowing that the feeling of achievement is something you can carry forward.

Show notes

Maintenance Mindset Mondays is all about cracking open the conversation about what REAL maintenance looks like – beyond the scale and deep into personal transformation. Join Gina and Odette as they dive into the week’s focus, share insights on all things maintenance, and answer your questions. Whether you’re new or experienced, there’s something for everyone!

This week’s episode is all about confidence, consistency, and levelling up—whether it’s your routine, your mindset, or even your why. Gina and Odette kick things off with some Superbowl fun (and questioning if flared pants are really making a comeback), then shift into how to fully enjoy your choices while staying in tune with your body. In this week of Maintenance, it’s all about trust—trusting your body, your decisions, and your ability to keep progressing. They're reframing the “messy middle” into the magical middle, turning up the volume on our inner voice, and recognizing that you already have what it takes—no matter what life throws your way.
