December is the month where we struggle the most with motivation. We know this after years of letting it sneak up on us. So this year we decided to get ahead of it.

Justy is cleared to go back to the gym to workout as of December 1st, so what better way to send her off than with a challenge. This challenge will help keep us in line, with a goal in mind.

If you want to hear more about the challenge, want to join us in the challenge or just want to hear our mindset around how we plan to get through December staying active, you will want to listen to this episode!

Check us out on Instagram to join in the challenge! Our goal will be 25 days with 25 minutes of movement to prepare us for 2025! Why wait until January to get your butt in gear when you can join us for accountability to stay on track?!

We had the pleasure of hosting Jamie Mills @thesleeveddietitian on Instagram & Tik Tok for a discussion on body composition. Honestly, that’s the short version of the topic. In reality, we talked GLP-1 usage, baby weight, body scans, and tracking food (or not!).

As most of you know, we struggle with knowing how much should we be eating to fuel our bodies properly for the changes we want to see. Neither of us plan to enter a body building contest, but we do want to lose a bit more fat while gaining muscle. We tracked food religiously only to maintain our weight, which became frustrating for us.

Our frustration led to us going back to meal “planning”, vs. “tracking”. We didn’t necessarily count calories, but rather we ate the same foods we usually do, but according to our hunger. To us, this feels easier. It doesn’t feed our all or nothing thinking and it allows us to tune in to what our body really needs at that particular time.

Come to find out, when Justy went in for a follow up body scan, she had lost fat and gained muscle… all while the scale hovered in a 10 pound range! So in the end, the strict calorie counting really wasn’t necessary at all! THANK GOD!

Tune in as we talk to Jamie about all of this and get her advice on how to handle our hatred for tracking food but still wanting to shed a few more pounds of fat and gain muscle. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you hear!

If you’re not familiar with Jamie, here is a little about her:

• Jamie, also known as The Sleeved Dietitian on social media, is an award winning registered dietitian nutritionist who also had weight loss surgery! After struggling with PCOS and her weight her whole life, she finally decided in 2017 she needed another tool. December 19, 2017 Jamie had VSG. With the help of VSG and GLP-1 medication, she has lost 135+ lbs and has gained a whole new life! After going through WLS herself, Jamie realized how little support there was available for bariatric patients. Since her surgery, she has helped thousands of women learn about nutrition and post op life so that they can be successful long term. Since 2020 she has been supporting people through her T.R.I.B.E. Membership Program, which is a virtual membership where members have access to dozens of nutrition materials as well as 45+ virtual support groups each month led by professionals who have also had surgery. She is also a #1 best-selling author. Her book "The Easy Way Out: Why Bariatrics Isn't Cheating Obesity, It's Treating It" and is making waves in the bariatric community! To learn more, be sure to follow Jamie on Instagram and Tik Tok @thesleeveddietitian and head to her website www.thesleeveddietitian.com for more resources and information on how to work with her.

It feels like just yesterday that Justy was approaching her first round of skin removal surgery! But in reality that was 1 1/2 years ago... and she just had her second round!

Listen in as Justy tells it all. From what she was having done, and why to fantastic care she received all along the way as she straveled to Mexico and back for her second surgery.

Medical tourism is quite contaversial. And we get it, there is good and bad out there! But the same can be said for right here in the USA. Justy also goes into detail about why she chose BC plastics in Tijuana, MX after having several quotes given from doctors around the US.

If you are on the fence about skin removal after weight loss, or even where to have your procedure done, this is an episode you don't want to miss! We also suggest going back and tuning in to episodes 3 & 4 where we discussed her first round of surgery.
