Happy Saturday, I used to think I was broken. I did everything the fitness world told me to do — cut calories, added cardio, ate every 3 hours like it was gospel. And sure, sometimes the weight came off… but it never lasted. The second life got busy or I missed a workout? Back to square one. Sound familiar? Maybe you're doing all the right things — but the scale won't budge. Or it drops for a bit, then stops. Or you feel like the only way to stay lean is to suffer constantly. If that’s you,...

For a long time, I believed something was broken in me. I thought I was just meant to be fat — like I got dealt a bad genetic hand and that was it. I tried everything: diets, pills, cardio until my knees screamed. And when nothing worked, the only thing left was guilt. Then in 2002, everything changed. I lost 127 pounds in 6 months — but not because I found some magic diet. It’s because I finally learned the truth. And if you’ve ever felt stuck like I did, maybe these truths will help set you...

If you're over 35 and trying to lose 15–20 pounds, you’ve probably noticed something: What used to work… just doesn’t anymore. You could skip a few meals, clean up your eating, hit the gym a few times — and the weight would drop. Easy. Now? You do everything right for two weeks…And the scale barely moves. Here’s what no one tells you: Your metabolism isn’t broken. It’s just adapted. And the good news? You can un-adapt it. But not by starving yourself or doubling your workouts. Let me...

Hey there, If stress eating has become your go-to comfort, I want you to know two things: You’re not alone. You’re not broken. Food is one of the most accessible, socially accepted ways to soothe stress—and your brain loves it for that reason. But if you’ve found yourself stuck in a cycle of emotional eating, unwanted weight gain, and guilt, it’s time to hit pause… and reset. This isn’t about cutting out food. It’s about changing your relationship with it, so you can start losing weight and...

Hey, If you’re reading this and feeling overwhelmed by all the weight loss advice out there, I want you to take a deep breath and hear this:You don’t have to do it all. You just have to start. There’s a special kind of energy that comes with being a fitness newbie—even if it feels like uncertainty right now. You’ve decided it’s time to take care of yourself. That alone is powerful. But I get it: between conflicting diets, workout plans, and “fitspo” influencers yelling about macros and fasted...

Hey, Let’s talk about you—or at least, one version of you I know well. You're the kind of person who wakes up already behind. Your calendar's full before your feet even hit the floor. Meetings, deadlines, endless email threads. You’re productive, reliable, maybe even the backbone of your team. But beneath the professional armor, you’re tired. Sluggish. Carrying 20–30 extra pounds you didn’t sign up for. Maybe you’ve tried to fix it. You downloaded the calorie tracker app. You cut carbs for...

You’re Doing the Work… So Where Are the Results? Let’s talk about something frustrating — working your ass off in the gym, showing up for sessions with your trainer, never missing a day of workouts… and still not seeing the fat loss you expected. If that’s you right now, I see you. And more importantly — you’re not broken. This is a super common experience, and it doesn’t mean your body is resistant to fat loss or that you just "don’t have the genetics." It usually comes down to three...
