Ask Me Anything | Weight Loss Edition | The Emma Guns Show
📝 I've been receiving a lot of questions via Instagram, Youtube and my Substack to go into a little more detail about my current weight loss challenge, so I opened up questions for an Ask Me Anything. Do I cover everything?
👗 In this video I'm wearing:
Agolde Hilma Twist Bodysuit (a few years old!). Closest current match is the Agolde Etienner off-the-shoulder Bodysuit.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emma Gunn Show and an episode that is really brought to you by you |
| 0:16.2 | because I have had so many questions since I started this weight loss challenge, this effort to |
| 0:22.0 | lose 10 pounds by, and lose 10 pounds, lose body fat, gain muscle mass, all very good for a woman |
| 0:28.5 | of a certain age. And I put a question box on my Instagram earlier today and said, I'm getting |
| 0:33.7 | lots of questions, I'm getting lots of DMs, I'm getting lots of comments under my content. |
| 0:37.9 | Just put all of your questions in this question box and let's go through them on the next |
| 0:41.6 | episode of the podcast. Well, goodness me, that goodness, I took some time to do my hair because in |
| 0:47.7 | that time, lots of messages came in. And just as a reminder, what this effort really is about is, I am 47. |
| 0:56.5 | I have been a yo-yo dieter. |
| 0:58.0 | The majority of my life, at the age of 41, I got a handle on binge eating disorder, |

| 1:25.7 | Emma Story Gordon and Chloe Madele, who are both wonderful friends now, but also |
| 1:31.1 | incredibly qualified and rational and reasonable trainers. And they have really helped me take |
| 1:38.9 | what I had started on my own and take it to a place where I feel like I have complete agency over how I train, the results |
| 1:47.6 | that I want to get, the impact that I want to have on how I feel, all of those sorts of things. |
| 1:52.2 | So that's me in a nutshell. But what this was about really was about feeling that I was a little |
| 1:57.9 | bit bloated. I felt like my weight was creeping up, albeit very, very slowly. |
| 2:02.1 | There was definitely a creep. We'll talk about that in a second. And I just thought, actually, |
| 2:09.3 | at 47, with perimenopause knocking on the door, there are so many research studies to show that having increased lean muscle mass as a woman, |
