  • I’m out!!

    I lost 80 lbs thanks to Charlotte. I couldn’t wait for Mondays….I would go for a walk to listen to the latest episode, then listen again before bed. Lately, tho, it has become nothing more than a reading of negative (Gladys) comments. How is this helpful? Charlotte loved Richard Simmons….why doesn’t she adopt his attitude of positive energy? Brush off the bad and HELP people. She has the microphone….it’s powerful! Sorry….call me Gladys all you want. I won’t be listening!

  • Every episode has some nugget that I needed for the day. Thank you, Charlotte .

    I think I first saw you on Instagram. You came up in a real, and I related to every word you were saying, so I did a deep dive into all of your content and found your podcast and I’m so glad I did as a person who has been overweight, my whole adult life, I’m talking 382 pounds what’s my highest weight! I did not use your common sense it approach to losing my weight, but I really wish I had!

  • Charlotte Skanes Rocks!

    I LOVE Charlotte’s refreshingly honest and 100% authentic coaching style. Having lost over 200 lbs herself with serious health problems, and kept it off, she shares her real life strategies and opinions which often fly in the face of the diet industry and conventional main stream diet thinking. She really explains how to work with your body and mind in a way that just makes you think “Yes! This makes sense!” I love her personality and the pink hair! Thank you Charlotte!

  • Refreshingly honest!

    I found this podcast right before the new year when I was trying to get into a positive mindset for the months ahead. It’s been inspiring to hear someone who struggled with obesity be so open and honest about what their own journey. The first episode, her warning that weight loss isn’t fast and it isn’t easy: that’s the opposite of what we are told and (honestly) the opposite of what we want to hear. But it’s the truth. Her mantra of “eat whatever you want, just less” seems so simple but for tho... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

168 ~ Weight Loss Q&A XXVII
Q: First up, I keep tracking and going way over in my calories, and I don't even feel bad. I have realized as much as I do want to lose weight and be smaller slash healthier eventually, I want this food right now more, way more.
The answer emphasizes that feeling conflicted doesn't mean you don't want to lose weight; it's a battle between two parts of yourself. The host suggests setting up your environment to make the healthier choice easier in the moment, recognizing that the urge to eat can be stronger than the longer-term goal, and that both voices can coexist as you build the part of you that makes better choices.
166 ~ Weight Loss Q&A XXVI
Q: What should I do to keep myself motivated when the novelty of a change wears off?
She discusses dopamine cycles, the ebb and flow of excitement, and advises reframing up the lead-up to meals to maintain motivation, while accepting that the initial spike may fade and finding ongoing ways to stay engaged.
166 ~ Weight Loss Q&A XXVI
Q: How do you know if you're an emotional eater?
The host explains that emotional eating often involves eating for reasons other than physical hunger, including boredom, stress, and emotional responses, and suggests tracking the emotion behind the urge to eat as a first step toward change.
Weight Loss Q&A XXV
Q: How did you lose so much weight and in how long?
She explains losing 201 pounds in about two and a half years through a consistent calorie deficit and intermittent fasting, emphasizing that the calorie piece mattered more than the fasting itself and that listening to her body's signals helped sustain the approach.
162 ~ Weight Loss Wednesday XXIV
Q: Should I include exercise in my TDEE calculation?
Yes, your TDEE calculation should already include exercise and activity level.
