Plus, Catherine photographs her way out of her marriage, Donald rides like the wind, and We Only Look Thin is super cool beans.

Episode 325 – Habit Elementary – Part 5
If weight loss and fitness were a video game, you’d complete a level and move on to the next. It isn’t, but in this episode, we’re pretending that it is. This week, Donald and Catherine guide you through one of the higher levels; when you’re in range of your goal weight. You’re tracking, meeting calorie and activity goals, working on your emotional issues with food, and becoming a detective of yourself. So now what? It’s time to figure out what your goal weight should be and time to prepare for what comes after you hit it. Plus, Donald asks for more punctuation, Catherine is good at the mashed potato; both the food and the dance, and the couple are all about the condiments.

Episode 323 – Habit Elementary – Part 3
This week, take a cue from Q*Bert! In the third part of the We Only Look Thin series on building habits from the ground up, we’re about half-way up the pyramid. Catherine and Donald ask you to start looking at your past plans, letting go of the idea of “one weird trick”, setting a realistic weight goal, and how to set a calorie goal. This is where results get real. Plus, Catherine gets re-combobulated, Donald puts you on double secret probation, and the rubber meets the snake road.

Episode 322 – Habit Elementary – Part 2
As that song from Stranger Things says, “Be running up that hill. Be running up that building”. Only in this case, that “hill” or “building” is a pyramid. And here’s the twist; it’s metaphorical and it’s based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. You didn’t see that coming, did you? In part 2 of their spectacular, multi-part series on building sustainable weight loss from the ground up, Catherine and Donald talk about going from just finding your footing to adding structure and purpose to your health and fitness plan. Plus, Donald doesn’t know what plants do, Catherine moisturizes with water, and we put the fun back in fundamentals.

The best.
I’ve listened to this podcast for a year now and have been able to lose 33 pounds tracking food and walking and I feel so much better. I feel like the topics discussed are things my mind is very often wrestling and it’s just so helpful to have this very relatable to help with mindset. I love the steady and sustainable approach to weight management and the reality check that maintenance requires effort (dang it!). In the past I lost weight and went back to old eating habits and of course regained weight. I also appreciate the sentiment that it’s ok to lose slowly or just stop the weight gain. A thanks to the hosts for this podcast!
Fantastic Tips & Mindset Tools
I found this podcast during the maintenance phase of my weight loss and it has been an extremely useful resource to help me maintain my weight and let me know I am not alone in needing to continue to track in order prevent weight gain. Catherine & Donald are an inspiration and provide real life tips and mindset tools. The podcast begins with silly banter between the hosts, but keep listening and you will hear extremely helpful advice.
I love this Podcast!!!
I heard about this Podcast from a fellow Weight Watcher….. I started listening 4-5 weeks ago and have now listened to the first 70 episodes
I am married to my former gym accountability buddy and we have been fighting the battle with food/beverage for 10 years.
Thank you to Catherine and Donald for your inspiration!!!!
