Just what the Australian Weight Loss Community needs

Living for this podcast at the moment and devouring (pun intended 🤪) every episode. Shannon and Lita are hilarious, honest, insightful and inspirational - as are their guests.

Steptile ,

Has potential

Nice presenters but the sound quality of the phone-in interviews leaves a lot to be desired. Also not great for those who are pre-surgery. All the talk of training for triathlons and other such post-op activities seems like life on another planet if you are pre op. I hope they develop this pod further though as the foundation is there.

WaynieM ,

Loved it

What a great first episode. I enjoy the banter and the comradery between the two of you. Great work. Looking forward to episode 2.
