  • Inspired

    So inspiring I love this podcast I’m 26 years out from bypass surgery. Although I’ve kept my weight off all these years I’ve hit my plateau and gained 20 pounds back from my 100 lb weight loss. And it’s like that old saying 2 steps forward 3steps back. Starting over again and I needed something and someone else’s advice, encouragement and inspiration. Thank you ladies for the journey I’m taking with you all.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Weight Loss Q&A: Mindset, Setbacks & Staying Consistent | Teresa & Tonya UNPLUGGED
Q: How do you deal with boredom eating and boredom grazing after weight loss?
Replace boredom with purposeful activities and small replacements, like chewing gum or journaling; stay busy, move more, and redirect focus when the urge to eat arises, reinforcing healthier patterns over time.
Weight Loss Q&A: Mindset, Setbacks & Staying Consistent | Teresa & Tonya UNPLUGGED
Q: Losing weight after one year post-op, I have about 25 pounds to lose. Did I miss my window?
There is no fixed window for weight loss post‑op. Maintenance and continued weight changes can happen for many years, and the lack of a rigid timeline is normal; focus on personal progress and long-term health rather than a clock.
When Food Becomes a Weapon: Childhood Trauma, Body Image & Breaking Free
Q: Is there anything that you can say to people in marriages or family dynamic situations where people are actively trying to sabotage their weight loss goals?
I would gray rock. You can take the food, whatever it is that they give you and dump it in the trash or in the bathroom. There's so many ways we can protect ourselves.
When Food Becomes a Weapon: Childhood Trauma, Body Image & Breaking Free
Q: Can you offer up some advice as far as mastering the exit and toxic people go in our lives?
You have to learn to be with yourself. If you've got a spouse or someone else doing that, you really have to consider counseling to make that marriage work.
Losing 190 Pounds: Scott’s Journey from Self-Hate to Self-Respect
Q: Can you share some words of wisdom about how you approach this?
