    How This Busy Mom Lost 22 Pounds With 3 Home Workouts a Week | Ep 272

    Get the FREE 6 Month Roadmap and Video Training that walks you through the EXACT phases we use with coaching clients - from priming and fat loss to strategically timed diet breaks to help you lose 20-30 pounds in the next 6 months -> https://ithrivenutrition.myflodesk.com/six-month-fat-loss-roadmap It started with a pair of jeans that wouldn’t fit. Miranda had been through the cycle before: lose weight, get busy, fall out of her routine, and feel like she was starting all over again. She’d thought about coaching for almost a year, but kept wondering whether she had the time and could actually follow through. In this episode, I sit down with Miranda Walker to talk about how she lost around 22 pounds in six months while working full time, raising two active kids, and juggling everything else that comes with being a mom. We get into what working with Katie has looked like, how she made three workouts a week at home fit her schedule, and the simple changes that helped her stay consistent with her nutrition—including still getting ice cream with her kids. One of my favorite parts of this conversation was hearing how much has changed beyond the scale. Her energy, her confidence, her relationship with food, and the example she’s setting for her daughter. If you’ve ever thought, “I know I need to do something for myself, but I don’t know how I’d fit it in,” I think you’ll relate to a lot of what Miranda shares here. Give this one a listen.

    I Gained 10 Pounds in 24 Hours - My Nutrition & Training Plan Post Hernia Surgery | Ep 271

    Get the FREE 6 Month Roadmap and Video Training that walks you through the EXACT phases we use with coaching clients - from priming and fat loss to strategically timed diet breaks to help you lose 20-30 pounds in the next 6 months -> https://ithrivenutrition.myflodesk.com/six-month-fat-loss-roadmap I went into hernia surgery weighing around 180 pounds… and less than 24 hours later, I was up about 10 pounds. But I knew that didn’t mean I’d gained 10 pounds of body fat. In this episode, I’m sharing how surgery went and what I’m doing with my nutrition, activity, and recovery while I’m taking time away from lifting. I walk through why I’m still eating around 2,800 calories, how I’m approaching protein and steps, and my plan for easing back into workouts once I’m cleared. I also talk about the mental side of seeing your body look different when you’re already doing everything you can. It’s easy to feel like, “Well, I can’t work out right now, so what’s the point?” But the things you’re still able to do matter. You can take care of yourself and feel proud of those actions, even when your routine—and your body—looks a little different. If you’re navigating an injury, surgery, or a stretch where your normal routine just isn’t possible, I think you’ll get a lot out of this one.

    4 Calorie Deficit Mistakes That Make Fat Loss Harder | Ep 270

    Get the FREE 6 Month Roadmap and Video Training that walks you through the EXACT phases we use with coaching clients - from priming and fat loss to strategically timed diet breaks to help you lose 20-30 pounds in the next 6 months -> https://ithrivenutrition.myflodesk.com/six-month-fat-loss-roadmap You’ve got your calorie goal. You’re tracking your food. But a few weeks in, you’re exhausted, hungry, and thinking about food all day. How are you supposed to keep this up for another few months? In this episode, I’m breaking down four mistakes I see people make with their calorie deficit - from cutting too aggressively to trying to push through fat loss for way too long. We’ll talk about how I use higher-calorie days and diet breaks with clients, when it might make sense to take a break, and why practicing maintenance along the way matters. If your goal is to lose 20, 40, or 50 pounds, let’s talk about how to make that process feel more doable - and help you feel confident keeping it off once you get there.

But she still felt stuck with her weight and uncomfortable in her clothes. In this episode, I sit down with Jaime, a nurse and mom of three who’s lost 40 pounds over the past year and a half of coaching. She shares how losing her mom and facing her own cancer diagnosis changed her priorities—and why admitting she needed help was such a big step. We talk about what finally changed in her approach to nutrition and training, why repeating workouts surprised her, and how she maintained her progress through a broken foot and months of limited activity. Jaime also shares how her growing confidence, energy, and habits have carried over into family life. An honest conversation about asking for support, working through setbacks, and making room for yourself while taking care of everyone else.

    At 48 Years Old, She’s Now Leaner & Stronger Than She Was in College | Ep 265

    After years of trying extreme diets, endless cardio, and doing everything she thought she was “supposed” to do, Allison was frustrated, uncomfortable in her clothes, and starting to wonder if gaining weight and feeling worse was simply part of getting older. In this episode, Allison shares what finally changed after she stopped trying to figure everything out alone. We talk about losing 20 pounds, building more muscle than she had even in high school, navigating perimenopause, and learning to trust progress even when the scale moves painfully slowly. We also get into why her approach has felt surprisingly manageable—three lifting sessions per week, a step goal, more food than she expected, and planned breaks from dieting. Allison opens up about the mental side of the process, why progress pictures helped her stop obsessing over the scale, and how having a coach in her corner kept her from giving up when she couldn’t see the bigger picture herself. This is a really honest conversation about patience, strength, sustainable fat loss, and realizing that getting older doesn’t mean you have to settle for feeling unlike yourself.
