We Are Losing It

Episode 70: Breaking Diet Culture

Diet culture doesn’t always show up as a “diet.” Sometimes it sounds like “I can’t have that,” “I’ll start Monday,” or “I ruined it so I might as well keep going.” We get real about how those scripts kept us stuck for decades, and what finally helped us build healthy habits we can actually live with after losing over 100 pounds each. We walk through the difference between dramatic resets and sustainable weight loss: smaller portions, meal prep that makes eating easier, and the kind of flexibility that keeps you consistent even when sleep is bad or plans change. We also talk honestly about tools like bariatric surgery and GLP-1 medications (including Zepbound) and why they’re helpful for some people, but never a substitute for mindset, nutrition basics, and routines that support long-term weight maintenance. Then we zoom out to the bigger stuff: the restriction binge cycle, the pressure of the scale, and why health is more than a number. We share how we think about non-scale victories like energy, strength, blood work, and how your clothes fit, plus how we try to raise kids with food awareness instead of food shame. We also call out social media “highlight reel” bodies and why finding authentic support matters. If any of this hits home, take one next best step and build from there.

Episode 69: If I Had To Do It Again

When we look back on our journey, we see a long winding path. Plenty of ups, and downs with NSVs and setbacks. We love and embrace the journey, as we know that every part of it brought us to where we are today. However, we've learned A LOT along the way. And why not share with you all what we would do if we had to start over?!  Listen in as we talk about how we would go about this journey knowing what we do now. We hope this helps anyone new to this journey!  Follow Justy & Steph on Instagram, where they share their weight loss journey and road to living a happy & healthy lifestyle. @we.are.losing.it [Instagram.com/we.are.losing.it/] If you prefer video to see us talk through our topics, you can watch us on YouTube. https://youtube.com/@wearelosingit [https://youtube.com/@wearelosingit] Show your support by hitting download, like & subscribe!

Episode 68: 2026 Goals

Happy New Year! We are calling it now... 2026 is going to be an EPIC year for both of us (and you too!)! This year, our goals are quite different from 2025. We had a lot of change last year, which has us shifting what's important to us. Not only that, but for the first time in a long time... our goals are very different from each others.  Hopefully hearing us talk about our goals will help you figure yours out too! Tune in and listen. And make sure you reach out to let us know what your plans are for 2026!  Follow Justy & Steph on Instagram, where they share their weight loss journey and road to living a happy & healthy lifestyle. @we.are.losing.it [Instagram.com/we.are.losing.it/] If you prefer video to see us talk through our topics, you can watch us on YouTube. https://youtube.com/@wearelosingit [https://youtube.com/@wearelosingit] Show your support by hitting download, like & subscribe!

Episode 67: 2025 Wrap-Up

We made it through another year! Thank you all for joining us. We are so grateful for each and every one of you! This year we decided to do our end of the year wrap up a little differently with more of a casual conversation.  Our one main takeaway for everyone... It is ok if you didn't hit all (or any lol) of your goals. Don't be so hard on yourself!  It's now time to start thinking about 2026 and what you want to get out of it. You get to write the story, so make it a good one! We hope you all have a gret holiday season, surrounded by friends and family. We look forward to connecting with you all again in 2026! Let's make it the BEST year yet!

Episode 66: People Pleasing & The Holidays

The holiday season is upon us! This can bring a lot of anxiety for some... Honestly, for most. Now is the time to start navigating how to handle some of the tough situations.  Most people in the weight loss community are people pleasers by nature. It's what we've always done. But it doesn't typically serve us. The healthiest thing you can do for yourself this holiday season is remove yourself from the role of people pleaser!  It is ok to take a pass on Aunt Suzie's world famous pie (unless it's incredible and you REALLY want it!). It's ok to NOT give in to buying the most expensive gifts. It's ok to decline an invite to a gathering that doesn't align with your goals. Bottom line... it's ok to do what serves YOU!  The first thing you can do to set yourself up for success over the holidays is to set boundaries early on and actually stick to them.  Listen in as we talk through our strategies and what we've learned over the years.  On the next podcast, we will discuss wrapping up 2025 and setting yourself up for 2026.  We hope you all have the best holiday season, with minimal stress!
