This Is Something I’ve Been Hiding… and I Finally Let It Go

How to Avoid Loose Skin During Weight Loss

Loose skin is one of the biggest fears people have when starting a weight loss journey… and honestly? I understand why. In this episode, we’re having a REAL conversation about loose skin, muscle mass, genetics, stretch marks, rapid weight loss, collagen, and the things that may actually help support your skin during a transformation journey. But I also want to be extremely honest before you listen: Loose skin is NOT always fully preventable. You can do “everything right,” lose weight slowly, strength train, prioritize protein, build muscle, hydrate, support your skin, and still experience loose skin especially after significant weight loss, pregnancy, genetics, age, or years of stretched skin. I know this personally because despite everything I did throughout my 120-pound weight loss journey, I still have loose skin too. This episode is not about “perfect prevention.” It’s about understanding what MAY help reduce the severity of loose skin as much as possible while also learning how to approach your body with realism, grace, and compassion throughout the process. If loose skin has ever scared you away from changing your life, I hope this episode helps you approach the conversation with more education, less fear, and a healthier perspective overall. ---------------------------------------- Hire me as your online weight loss coach 🫶🏼✨ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.getfitwithmer.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.getfitwithmer.com] Follow me on instagram 🩷☺️ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/getfitwithmer_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.instagram.com/getfitwithmer_] - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/thewholeheartedjourney_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.instagram.com/thewholeheartedjourney_] Subscribe to my YouTube 💌 - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/getfitwithmer [www.youtube.com/getfitwithmer]

The Art of Saying No & Doing It Anyway

In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to stop holding yourself back and finally start doing the things that scare you. The truth is, most of us spend so much time waiting until we feel ready, confident, less anxious, less scared, or more prepared before we make a change in our lives. But that moment honestly rarely comes. Growth is uncomfortable. Change is uncomfortable. Trying something new is uncomfortable. Nobody truly knows what they’re doing when they first start. We learn as we go. We grow through what we go through. This episode is about learning how to stop letting fear make your decisions for you. Saying no to the habits, mindsets, and comfort zones that keep you stuck… and choosing to move forward anyway, even if it scares you. Because the life you want is usually on the other side of the things you’re most afraid to do. ---------------------------------------- Hire me as your online weight loss coach 🫶🏼✨ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.getfitwithmer.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.getfitwithmer.com] Follow me on instagram 🩷☺️ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/getfitwithmer_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.instagram.com/getfitwithmer_] - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/thewholeheartedjourney_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.instagram.com/thewholeheartedjourney_] Subscribe to my YouTube 💌 - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/getfitwithmer [www.youtube.com/getfitwithmer]

Can You Lose Weight If Your Partner Doesn’t? (with Steven Hutson)

I started my weight loss journey… and he didn’t. In this episode, my husband, Steven Hutson, joins me as we talk about what it was really like for me to start my 120lb weight loss journey while he wasn’t on the same path. We share how we supported each other, stayed aligned, and built a stronger relationship through it all. Because the truth is, you don’t have to be on the same journey to be on the same team. ----------------------------------------- Hire me as your online weight loss coach 🫶🏼✨ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.getfitwithmer.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.getfitwithmer.com] Follow me on instagram 🩷☺️ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/getfitwithmer_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.instagram.com/getfitwithmer_] - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/thewholeheartedjourney_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.instagram.com/thewholeheartedjourney_] Subscribe to my YouTube 💌 - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/getfitwithmer [www.youtube.com/getfitwithmer]

This Is Something I’ve Been Hiding… and I Finally Let It Go

I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to talk about this… But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the things we hide the most are usually the things holding us back the most. In this episode, I’m opening up about a habit I kept private for a long time… something that didn’t align with the woman I was trying to become. And recently, I finally let it go. What I didn’t expect though? What happened after. We’re talking about the mental battle behind letting go of something you’ve normalized and the messy middle no one really prepares you for (aka slipping into ANOTHER bad habit in the process).... This isn’t just about one habit. It’s about honesty, discipline, and what it actually takes to become the version of yourself you know you’re meant to be. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you want to be… this one’s for you. ----------------------------------------- Hire me as your online weight loss coach 🫶🏼✨ ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.getfitwithmer.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.getfitwithmer.com] Follow me on instagram 🩷☺️ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/getfitwithmer_⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.instagram.com/getfitwithmer_] - ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/thewholeheartedjourney_⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.instagram.com/thewholeheartedjourney_] Subscribe to my YouTube 💌 - ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/getfitwithmer [www.youtube.com/getfitwithmer]

This Is Why Your PCOS Isn’t Improving

If your PCOS isn’t getting better no matter how “healthy” you’re trying to be… this episode is for you. In today’s episode, we’re breaking down what PCOS actually is (in a way that finally makes sense), and more importantly what’s really driving your symptoms behind the surface. Because here’s the truth… PCOS isn’t just “bad hormones.” It’s a combination of things happening in your body that most women are never taught how to actually address. We’re diving into: - What PCOS really is (and what it’s NOT)- Why it’s not curable but absolutely manageable - The main root drivers like insulin resistance, inflammation, stress, and elevated testosterone- How your gut health plays a major role in hormone balance (this is the part most people are missing 👀)- What you actually need to start doing to support your body and regulate your cycle- And the biggest PCOS myth that could be keeping you stuck (yes… we’re talking about carbs 👀) And I’m not just speaking from education… I’m speaking from experience. I was once told I might not be able to have kids. I dealt with horrible PCOS symptoms and felt completely out of control in my own body. Now..I’ve had a consistent cycle for almost TWO years… and I’m symptom-free. That didn’t happen by accident. It happened because I finally understood what my body actually needed and started supporting it the right way. ----------------------------------------- Hire me as your online weight loss coach 🫶🏼✨ ⁠⁠⁠www.getfitwithmer.com⁠⁠⁠ [www.getfitwithmer.com] Follow me on instagram 🩷☺️ - ⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/getfitwithmer_⁠⁠⁠ [www.instagram.com/getfitwithmer_] - ⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/thewholeheartedjourney_⁠⁠⁠ [www.instagram.com/thewholeheartedjourney_] Subscribe to my YouTube 💌 - ⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/getfitwithmer [www.youtube.com/getfitwithmer]
