Hello and welcome back to another episode on the Embrace Real podcast. I have a question to start out this episode.

How long have you been living in weight loss mode?

Or a better question, for how long has your goal been to lose weight or how badly do you want to lose weight?

I know that for so many of us this is a goal that we have and I know this because I talked to thousands of women on a monthly

basis and so many of them come to me and ask is this going to help me lose weight

is this the best workout for this what do I do for for nutrition? What's a meal plan? All of these

things with the goal of weight loss. And I know that at the same time these

people, what they're actually really wanting the majority of these

people when I get into a deeper conversation is they want a stronger core

they want you know a firm booty or more toned arms or whatever it is that you are

aspiring to in kind of your physical goals of what you are setting out to do. And I have a new splash for you,

getting a flatter stomach or a more firm booty or more toned arms. Those are not going to come essentially from weight loss.

In fact, I think all of these years that you might have been thinking that your goal is weight

loss, you actually what you really want to do and when it comes down to really getting

into, okay, when you say you want to lose weight, like what exactly are you talking about and

you start going into detail there, what you're really wanting to do is actually

change your body composition. And I want to bring this up because losing weight and changing

your body composition, those are two entirely different things.
