  1. How to trust yourself again

    How to trust yourself again

    You've done more diets than you care to admit, let alone count. You've started again on so many Mondays you can't even remember all of them. As these failed attempts piled up, somewhere along the way you created and cemented the identity and belief as being someone who starts but never finishes. The person who goes well...right up until the wheels fall off. And any trust you had in yourself slowly eroded away. In this episode we break down why this is such a massive problem, and where the best places are to start to build up that trust in yourself again...or for the first time. Come and join us as we deep dive into... - Why "just be consistent" is abysmal advice that misses the actual problem - The weight loss industrial complex, and how the repeat-buyer model profits from your distrust - Why you've stopped trusting yourself and don't even realise it (it hides as stress, worry, and self-sabotage) - The trust bank account: small promises kept, compounding into real self-trust - Why doing beats knowing every single time, and why vision boards and manifesting won't save you - How we claw it back after going backwards, without destroying the trust we've already built - The micro-promise method: one day, then a week, then you stack it - Why doing the thing (the work!) creates the identity, and the identity sustains the doing Mentioned in this episode - The WRECKED guide. A five-minute circuit breaker for the moment you've decided you've already blown the week. DM us the word WRECKED on Instagram (@theweightlosspodcast) and we'll send it right over. Watch this next - The deeper walkthrough on the most common mistakes that keep people stuck in this exact cycle: Watch it HERE ON YOUTUBE.

    I'll start Monday (again)

    You’ve been telling yourself you’ll start Monday for three weeks. Maybe longer. The gym bag’s been in the boot since the 4th. The fridge has the same three vegetables it did at Christmas. And every morning, the same thought: tomorrow I’ll get back to it. This episode is about what to actually do when you’ve quietly fallen off, and what the on-off cycle is costing you that’s bigger than the kilos. We talk about the silent slide, the difference between a mistake and quitting, why your goals are probably set up to fail before you start, and the single first move to get rolling again without trying to fix everything at once. If you’ve been writing the week off since Tuesday, this is the one to press play on. What You’ll LearnWhy “I’ll start Monday” is the lie that keeps you stuck in the reset cycleThe silent slide: how complacency creeps in and you don’t notice until your clothes feel differentMistakes vs quitting vs failure, and why getting this wrong wastes yearsThe goal-setting trap: wanting something vs thinking you need itWhy starting back at the gym beats starting back with foodThe lowest hanging fruit move that gets your confidence back fastHow to give yourself permission to try again without dragging the last attempt with you Been listening for a while and want the full picture? We made a comprehensive training that walks through the four biggest reasons people stay stuck in the weight loss cycle and what to do instead to make sure you are moving in the right direction consistently.

    15 Signs You're Stuck in a Diet Mindset

    You've started over more Mondays than you can count. You've tried calorie counting, keto, shakes, fasting, the lot. Some of it worked for a bit. None of it stuck. In this episode we break down the 15 thought patterns that keep people trapped in the on/off cycle. We're not pitching a program. We're naming the mindset that quietly runs the show. If a diet worked, you wouldn't need to do another one. We've been there. Between us we've lost 105kg and 11 clothing sizes, and we've coached hundreds of people through the same patterns. None of this is theory. It's lived experience and years of client work, laid out so you can recognise yourself in the list.

    Why you keep starting over

    You’ve started again. And again. And again. This episode is about why. We dig into the real reason so many people stay stuck in the on-off cycle. Not lack of willpower, not the wrong program, not bad timing. It’s an identity gap. And until you close it, nothing sticks. We break down the 6 signs you’re genuinely ready to change and the 6 signs you’re not, including the subtle ones most people miss in themselves. This one might sting. Good. What You’ll LearnWhy transformation is more mental than physicalThe identity gap: the space between who you are now and who you’re trying to become6 signs you’re genuinely ready to change (and what each one looks like in real life)6 signs you’re NOT ready, including the subtle ones most people missWhy “trying” is one of the most dangerous words you can use when it comes to your goalsThe difference between wanting results and being willing to actually change to get them Been listening for a while and want the full picture?

  7. When trying harder is the problem

    Apr 12

    When trying harder is the problem

    What if the thing holding you back… is how hard you're trying? In this episode, we're unpacking two things almost no one talks about on a weight loss journey: obsession with the end result, and the burnout that quietly follows. We get into what it actually looks like to fixate on one body part, one number, one dress size — and how that tunnel vision pulls you into self-sabotage before you even realise it's happening. Courtney shares how she spent years only looking at her stomach in the mirror, completely blind to the progress everywhere else. If you've been there, you'll feel this one. We also break down: 👉 Why the "finish line" mentality is one of the most damaging traps in weight loss 👉 How shifting to small, process-driven wins is what actually creates lasting change 👉 What burnout really looks like — and why most people don't recognise it until they've gone radio silent on their goals 👉 A practical toolkit for preventing and recovering from burnout: non-negotiables, sleep, stress reprogramming, and human connection This one is equal parts honest and actionable. Because prevention is always easier than the cure. And you deserve the best of yourself — not just the leftovers. Been listening for a while and want the full picture?

  8. Stop Winging It (Why you're not getting results in the gym)

    Stop Winging It (Why you're not getting results in the gym)

    Here's the truth most people won't tell you… Walking into the gym without a plan isn't "flexibility." It's the reason you're not seeing results. In this episode, we're talking about why so many people spend months (sometimes years) training hard and getting nowhere. Courtney shares how she used to avoid the weights area entirely — not because she was lazy, but because she didn't know what the hell she was doing. She stuck to the treadmill, got zero results, and eventually gave up... until a simple, structured plan changed everything. We break down: 👉 Why "winging it" is keeping you stuck — and what to do instead 👉 The "more is better" trap — and why overtraining is far more dangerous than under-training 👉 How to find YOUR training sweet spot (because it looks different for everyone) 👉 Why fitness influencers showing five-day training splits are doing you zero favours 👉 The role of data collection — because if you haven't tracked it, you don't actually know what's working 👉 How your gym performance is your body's most honest feedback If you've been showing up but not seeing progress — or you're standing frozen on the gym floor wondering where to start — this one's for you. Start smart. Not big. Been listening for a while and want the full picture?
