What We’d Tell You About Why You’re Not Losing Weight Part 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this week’s episode, Lauren and Marci are back for part two of their “Tough Love” conversation, aka the things that might sting a little, but that you need to hear if you want lasting results.
They kick things off chatting about the Season 2 premiere of Nobody Wants This (yes, it’s back!) and how their dating adventures are going. Then, they dive into some of the most common patterns that keep women stuck in the start-stop cycle: weekend free-for-alls, skipping meals, resisting tracking, and letting alcohol take the wheel.
This episode blends honesty with humor and practical mindset shifts you can use right away, because change doesn’t come from quick fixes; it comes from getting real about what’s holding you back.
