EPISODE 222: The Scale - Why You Need to Let Go of the Number to Achieve Faster Results Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

When it smiles in our favor, we're walking on cloud 9 and nothing can bring us down.

When it shows us a number other than the one we want, it can send us into a mental and physical tailspin.

The scale is a neutral device made of plastic and metal...until we attach meaning and our worth to it. When we take a closer look at the amount of power we give it in our lives, neutral is the furthest thing from the truth.

In this episode, Coach Steph Miramontes and I talk about how to improve your relationship with the scale.

Topics discussed:

Why people put so much value & emphasis on the scale
Scale avoiders vs Scale addicts
Different non-scale victories to celebrate and mark your progress
How often we recommend weighing yourself

What about you? What role does the scale play in your life? When you see a number that you define as "success" do you reward yourself by eating more? What about when the number doesn't represent your hard work? How do you respond? I'd love to hear all about it. Shoot me a DM on Instagram! Connect with Leslie:

EPISODE 221: From 'Nothing Fits' to 'Down 35 Pounds' With Client Angela MacBride Oct 09, 2023

Show notes

REMINDER: Don't forget to join the zero obligation Unstuffed Interest List to reserve your spot and get access to exclusive early action bonuses. We're opening the doors to new clients this Tuesday, October 10th. Sign up for early bird notifications now.

This week, I'm excited to share the interview of former client, Angela MacBride on her unique experience in FWB (now rebranded as Unstuffed) and in Coach Steph's body image coaching program, Unfiltered.

As you know, no two dieters are the same and everyone has different challenges, backgrounds, habits, lifestyles, and emotional eating struggles. Angela shares her story as a former Weight Watcher who was yo-yoing up and down the scale to a person who has steadily dropped 35 pounds in a way that feels sustainable long-term, because no foods are off limits.

Topics discussed:

Why Angela joined the Unstuffed program in January 2021 and why she returned for more 1:1 support a year later
Angela shares her biggest challenges before and during the program and how the customized guidance and support was exactly what she needed (when historically she would have quit when things felt hard).
How embracing mentorship has changed her life in all of the best ways.
The powerful difference in changing eating habits by yourself vs getting the entire family involved. Total game-changer.
Angela's #1 piece of advice for anyone who is interested in pursuing weight loss through the Unstuffed program (and what she wish she would have known when she got started).

Thanks to Angela for bringing her unique and interesting perspective to our listeners. As somoene who has been out of the program for quite some time, it's always great to invite former clients back to the podcast to get an update on their continued.

Angela was an inspiring guest and we appreciate her being open to sharing her experience in the program(s). Be sure to give this episode a listen and let us know what topics you'd like us to cover in the future.

This week, I'm excited to share the interview of Masterfull client, Mary Grochowski, on her unique experience in three of our coaching programs.

As you know, no two dieters are the same and we all have different challenges, backgrounds, habits, lifestyles, and emotional eating struggles. Mary shares her story as a former clean eater who was gaining weight to a person who has steadily been dropping pounds eating her favorites -- bread and cheese.

Topics discussed:

Why Mary joined group coaching in the first place and why she's continued to receive guidance and support for nearly one year.
Mary shares her biggest challenges before the program and how the program helped her kick the habit of smoking in under two weeks.
How having a relaxed approach and embracing her role as the student has propelled her into success.
The difference in avoiding the journaling exercises vs going all the way in on the emotional and psychological work.
The two biggest breakthrough moments Mary experienced in the Unstuffed and Masterfull program that completely changed the game.

Thanks to Mary for bringing fun, humor and light-heartedness to the podcast without deflecting or minimizing the seriousness of the subjects we discussed.

EPISODE 218: Why Cheat Meals are Terrible for Weight Loss (and What to Do Instead) Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

Similar to perfection and dieting rules, cheat days also have the ability to sabotage your physique goals.

Like a kid on Christmas morning, you've been anxiously anticipating this moment for the entire week. It is, without a doubt, the stuff wet dreams are made of.

There will be Netflix binge-watching, and there will also be BBQ ribs, fries, potato salad, and homemade chocolate chip cookies. And of course, who could forget — your favorite seasonal beer.

And then as the day continues to press on, you realize you've only got a few more hours left, so you had better fill up another plate, because tomorrow is Monday and you'll be back on that chicken and broccoli grind for the next six days.

Sure, some folks can get away with the weekly cheat day and keep their caloric intake within a healthy range, but it can be a slippery slope for most.

Join Coach Steph Miramontes and I as we break down how cheat meals generally lead to disordered eating, weight gain, and all-or-nothing thinking…which just perpetuates the cycle of having to "get back on track."
