Summary

Beyond the Scale: Embracing Sustainable Fitness In this episode of T Is for Transformation, host Shaun T explores the dangers of society’s obsession with instant gratification, particularly in the realm of rapid weight loss. Guest Glenn Cragun shares her compelling journey of losing 150 pounds in six months, only to regain much of the weight due to unsustainable habits and the mental toll it took. Together, they discuss the significance of adopting long-term, sustainable approaches to fitness and nutrition, prioritizing overall health over quick results. They highlight the importance of consistency, patience, and a supportive environment in achieving lasting transformation. Glenn reflects on her experience in Shaun T's Dig Deeper program, where she learned to cultivate both mental and physical well-being. Through their conversation, listeners are encouraged to focus on steady progress and inner fulfillment rather than chasing temporary numerical goals.

0:50.3	reducing it to just weight loss or striving for that lean look.
0:55.1	But let me tell you, real fitness, it's about more than the number on the scale or the
1:00.9	reflection in the mirror.
1:02.2	Every day, I see people pour in their hearts into their workouts chasing that magic number
1:08.6	that they believe equals success.
