Topics covered:
Each week's tweaks flow into each other, helping you level up and move forward. What do you need this week to dig into downsizing one last time and level up? Levelling up - Taking what you are doing and doing better. Downsizing is not about eating less and less; it's about tuning into what satisfaction is for you. Flip it around: focus less on what you don't like and more on what you are getting out of it. Satisfaction is more than a feeling. Explore what the mental struggles, triggers, and old habits represent to you. Old diet dialogues about deprivation, starvation, and restriction. Find the glimmers: Working through negative associations constructively. Cravings, stress, and seasonality: How to support your body as its needs are changing. Tuning into what's on your plate: Getting into your belly, and out of your head. Downsizing too much? Portions are always about what they feel like, not look like on your plate. Next week's tweak: Feeding the metabolism - Getting even more in tune with portions. Always a rhyme and reason to why each tweak works on its own to get you into fat loss.

Topics covered:
Deepening your understanding of what you are doing and why. You know best: Dig into the reasons your scale may be slow to move. Changing the conversation: Weight loss is much more than calories in / calories out. Feeling energized? Support your body through seasonal changes. Changes in appetite when managing anxiety. Make the connection: Experts and guest conversations bring us together as a community. The benefits of slow and steady weight loss. Rewind, rewire, reconnect: bringing awareness and change to how we eat to cope. No pressure: self-compassion is a powerful tool when prioritizing yourself. Sustainable weight loss versus quick-fix dieting. Self-sabotage - so many reasons we undo our best efforts. Setting yourself up for success with grounding and gratitude practices. Declare it! Make this your own! Why do we berate ourselves when trying to make change? Being in tune with what you need now. It's GO time: time to go deeper and level up to finish strong!
