Summary
If you know exactly what to do for weight loss, why does it still feel so hard to actually follow through?
In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Kelly, a busy working mom who felt stuck in the same cycle so many women know all too well. She was trying all the "right" things, hitting her protein goals, and still not seeing the results she wanted. After years of starting and stopping, something finally clicked.
Kelly shares what shifted when she stopped chasing quick fixes and started focusing on simple, repeatable habits that actually fit into her real life. We talk about the truth behind food noise, why convenience foods were keeping her stuck, and how leaning into whole foods, structure, and consistency helped her lose over 16 pounds without feeling restricted.
If you're tired of constantly starting over and never seeing the physical results you know you are very capable of achieving – you're going to leave today's episode inspired to make a change and with tips that will actually help you see results.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, my beautiful people and welcome back to a very special episode. I feel a little behind |
| 0:13.2 | the scenes for you guys. I feel extra special today because I get to spend my Saturday |
| 0:17.2 | recording with Kelly. And I just, I love these podcast episodes with real women being |
| 0:24.5 | able to share their stories. And Kelly's story is so inspirational. She's a mom. She's career |
| 0:30.6 | focus. She's juggling a million things. And she, I don't want to seal her thunder, but she's |
| 0:35.3 | 16 pounds down, at least the last time that we talked. But I feel like every time I talk to her, she's losing more weight. There's a different conversation. And if you relate to obviously knowing the basics of what to do, but obviously it's very difficult to do it. Kelly is going to share so many nuggets of wisdom today that are going to inspire you or maybe help you realize |
| 0:54.2 | maybe something that's holding you back. So without further ado, welcome Kelly and thank you for |
| 0:58.2 | being on the show. Thank you so much for having me. Oh, I love it. I want to go back to one of the |
| 1:03.7 | first times we connected. It was when you had messaged me about Slim Down Eat Up and you messaged me |
| 1:09.7 | when you were like five pounds down |
| 1:11.1 | and then I remember the bigger text message on Instagram was when you hit 10 pounds down and that's |
| 1:17.8 | when you realized some of the things and you conveyed them to me about what are what were some of |
| 1:23.2 | the things that were holding you back because you had done a whole bunch of different plans and |
| 1:26.2 | I think at one point you were even like do I do do private coaching? Because gosh, like, you know, I'm feeling a little bit stuck. But that program I know really kind of changed the game for you. So when you think back to when you, you know, kind of were first beginning your weight loss journey, we're a little stuck. You know, some things were clicking. You knew what to do, |
| 1:45.1 | but it wasn't fully clicking into obviously being five or 10 pounds down on the scale. What were you |
| 1:50.9 | doing before you started to see this success? That's different than the success and the things that |
| 1:55.9 | you were doing when you saw the scale move. Oh, gosh. So I would say I probably have a history of trying probably |
| 2:02.8 | anything that any one of the rest of us are all doing. So being someone who is super busy, |
| 2:10.7 | I was always just trying to go for something that was quick and easy. It's just the world that we |
| 2:15.5 | live in and wanting to have something that was |
| 2:18.8 | convenient that I could rely on. I thought was going to kind of be the trick and be the ticket. |
| 2:24.7 | And because I'm on the go, I was the type that was thinking like, okay, because this bar has 30 |
