Welcome to Real WW Talk! We are Candice, Erin, and Rikki, three diverse friends who met in the Weight Watchers Studio and formed a friendship. When COVID-19 hit, our weekly in-person chat went virtual, and we decided to invite you in for even more accountability. There's no hiding, no trying to make ourselves better than we are, just real talk about our struggles and wins as we journey towards better health on Weight Watchers, and you're welcome to join in.

    294. A Mammogram Changed Everything

    Send us a text 📲 ! Have a topic idea? Something to celebrate? Don't forget to include your name/location in your text 😀 When was your last mammogram? Be honest! If you've been putting it off, you're not alone. But Candice has a story that might make you think twice about waiting. After two breast cancer diagnoses, Candice shares how she discovered her cancers, what helped her stay positive, and how Erin and Rikki were there for her along the way. Erin also opens up about a recent mammogram that raised some concerns and how Candice supported her through it. In this conversation, Candice will share the importance of early detection, emerging data about breast cancer screening for Black women, and the little things that can make a big difference when someone you care about is going through something scary. It's real talk about breast cancer, friendship, and being there for each other when life gets tough. And if you've been meaning to schedule your mammogram, maybe this is the little push you need.  To learn more about Candice’s breast cancer journey and explore additional resources, visit BeyondTheSuck.com.

    292. Who Needs a Bravo?

    Send us a text 📲 ! Have a topic idea? Something to celebrate? Don't forget to include your name/location in your text 😀 When was the last time you stopped to give yourself a little credit? We're often so busy thinking about what we still want to do, where we want to be, and what we haven't quite figured out yet that we forget to look at what we've already accomplished. On this Real WW Talk Plus episode, we're taking a little time to recognize our wins, big and small, and talk about how we're going to finish the year strong. Sometimes we need a reminder that we're doing better than we give ourselves credit for. So, think about it. What's one thing you're giving yourself a bravo for this year?

    291. The Male Perspective Part 4 | Jay + August

    Send us a text 📲 ! Have a topic idea? Something to celebrate? Don't forget to include your name/location in your text 😀 What does weight loss look like from a man's perspective? The messages men receive about their bodies, health, masculinity, and asking for help can be very different from what women experience. Understanding those differences can change how we support the men in our WW meetings, online communities, and in our own lives. Real WW Talk Plus is our special September series exploring men's perspectives on weight loss, weight management, health, and everything that comes with it. In this second of a two-part episode, WW members August and Jay share: • What life has been like since they were last on Real WW Talk (see Episodes 186 and 240) • What self-care looks like for them • The different messages men and women receive about weight and health • Navigating life and health challenges • How women can support men in WW meetings, online, and in everyday life Meet the Members Jay has been a WW member since 2007 and a Lifetime member since 2008. After taking a few years away, he returned to Studio sessions in 2016, where he met Erin, Rikki and Candice at their Columbia, MD, WW meeting.  Known as Jerry in the Real WW Talk Facebook Group, August has lost over 150lbs and even appeared in a WW commercial. He's a positive force in the WW community, sharing his hiking pictures, encouragement, and is an active member of the WW Bros.  Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the show ----------------------------------- 💙 BECOME A SUPPORTER Monthly: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1584829/support One-Time: https://buy.stripe.com/28o6r90DE5l6c3mcMM 📲 CONNECT  WITH US Instagram: http://instagram.com/realwwtalk Facebook: http://facebook.com/groups/realwwtalk YouTube: http://youtube.com/realwwtalk Email: realwwtalk@gmail.com 🕵️‍♀️ FIND US ON WW CONNECT Candice: @candigirl_08 Rikki: @radiantlyrikki Erin: @erinsworld 🛍️ AMAZON STOREFRONT https://www.amazon.com/shop/realwwtalk?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_9OGY28Q9YI9HYJ6TBKJM  _______ The content presented is for educational and information purposes only.

    Send us a text 📲 ! Have a topic idea? Something to celebrate? Don't forget to include your name/location in your text 😀 What does weight loss look like from a man's perspective? The messages men receive about their bodies, health, masculinity, and asking for help can be very different from what women experience. Understanding those differences can change how we support the men in our WW meetings, online communities, and in our own lives. Real WW Talk Plus is our special September series exploring men's perspectives on weight loss, weight management, health, and everything that comes with it. In this second part of a two-part episode, National WW Coach Michael G and local WW Coach Jonathan Bucklew-Marlette share what they've learned from their own weight loss journeys and from coaching other men. They talk about: • Why men are taught to be masculine and not ask for help • The different messages men and women receive about weight and health • The strange double standard around bigger men and body image • Looking at other guys and thinking, "That's what I'm supposed to look like" • Why the idea that men have it easier when they lose weight isn't quite true • How years of diet culture can shape women's experiences differently • Supporting men in WW meetings, online, and in everyday life And there's a big question at the heart of it all: If men aren't surrounded by the same diet culture messages women have been exposed to for years, does that actually make weight loss easier? Weight loss isn't easier for men. It's just different. Meet the Coaches Michael G is a WW National Coach who joined WW 23 years ago at just over 400 pounds and went on to lose 200 pounds. He's been a Lifetime member and coach for 20 years, and his WW meetings are available through the WW app. Jonathan Bucklew-Marlette lost more than 100 pounds after making a life-changing decision in 2018. He became a Lifetime member in 2019 and later became a WW Coach, helping members in the Omaha, Nebraska, and Council Bluffs, Iowa areas.

    287. Are You Hiding Under Layers?

    Send us a text 📲 ! Have a topic idea? Something to celebrate? Don't forget to include your name/location in your text 😀 Fall can make it really easy to get comfortable. The temperatures drop, the layers come out, and suddenly sweaters, jackets, and oversized clothes can make it easier to ignore what’s really going on with your body and your health. But are you actually comfortable, or are you just getting comfortable with hiding? This episode digs into seasonal weight gain, body image, clothing, and what happens when you start using fall and winter as a reason to put your goals, habits, or health on the back burner. Because you shouldn't have to wait for spring to start feeling good in your body again.
