This is the Monday Live. This is where I like to go live in the maintenance group to help answer any questions that you have, just talk more in depth about maintenance in general. If you are new to the maintenance program, first of all, welcome. I know we had a ton of people added with the promo that we did back in the fall. I love the maintenance group. I love the conversations that we have in here.

I especially love our Way in Wednesday segment. So if you haven't joined us for one yet, make sure you tune in Wednesday at 4 p.m. It's where Odette, myself, and Kim, you know her from the Weight Loss Group, we weigh in on a variety of different topics. We also invite some of our members in maintenance to join along with us, which is always really fun as well. Happy New Year, everyone. How are we doing?

How are we feeling? Are we setting those New Year's resolutions? Where are we on those? We have just given up on them. What are we doing? I see that Odette had some great posts for you today. I also want to talk about what we have scheduled over the next few months. Odette has been really working hard and we're going to be working on creating a maintenance

program per se. We're also working on creating a maintenance program per se. We're also working on a maintenance feature in the app. So if you're just coming off the heels of our fall group and you haven't signed up for our winter program to solidify your weight, you will notice that you can continue using the app in general tracker mode while you're working towards maintenance. But what we've decided is take some of the posts that you are reading in the weight loss group for the sake of solidifying and put a little twist on them to be more relevant to where you are at in maintenance. So we're

really interested to see how that goes over and to hear your feedback from that. Because when you are repeating the program, again, for the sake of solidifying, there's so many benefits in that. Getting even more in tune to your body's needs, even more in tune to portions, leveling up your health and wellness. There's still so much to work through, issues, associations, habits, beliefs, all the past traumas, all of that. Even though you're no longer looking to lose weight anymore, it doesn't mean that work is done, especially not just physically, but mentally, there's more work to do. So we've been talking a lot behind the scenes and like, how can we take someone who is repeating the program for the sake of solidifying and base it solely

within maintenance and have the conversation be around that. So we're super excited about that. We are, we're trying to get that ready to have a maintenance feature in our app, perhaps for the spring. That's highly ambitious, but something that we're working on. So looking forward to that. If you have any questions, load them up, let me know. But I do want to talk to our members who are new in the maintenance group. And heck, some of our members who've been with us for a while, we have people who've been maintaining their weight for days, weeks, months, and years in this group. So everyone is sort of at a variety of different stages and phases throughout their maintenance journey.

And this is where I want to remind you of the four stages of finally and forever. The four stages of the Libby Method are one, lose your weight, obviously. Two is solidify your weight. So that's where you want to put that three months into taking the time to help your body make your new weight your new norm. And the best way to do that is by repeating the program because there's so many benefits leveling up and repeating the program. You also have the opportunity to personalize the plan. So you can continue to personalize plan while you are in that solidifying phase. That's where you want to minimize any indulgences, just really let your body get used to your new weight. And then that third stage is really testing the waters, right? That's where you

are getting used to what maintenance now looks like and feels like to you. Maybe you're starting to indulge here or there. Maybe you're starting to lay off asking those four questions. Maybe you're not weighing yourself every day. You're just kind of relaxing on the things that you're doing. And so that you can move on when you are ready to that fourth stage, which is live your life. Wake up, look good, feel good, go about your day and just live your life and just move forward, continuing to be mindful, utilizing back on track whenever you need. So we have people in the group who have been in maintenance and they're just living their lives, but they like to, you know, stick with the maintenance group, stay connected to our

amazing community because I haven't created that third group yet, which is that, you know, that what happens after you're done losing after you're done maintaining, and you go on to living, I'm working on it. And we're working on it. And then we have members who are personalizing the plan, they're testing the waters, they are, you know, just kind of feeling out maintenance for a bit, they're not really ready to move on to that final stage. We have members who are obviously just signed up for our winter program who are on day one of repeating the program for the sake of solidifying. And then we have members who've been personalizing the plan for the sake of solidifying as well.

So we kind of have a good mix and we are here to support each and every one of you. Here's Tara. I'm testing out maintenance to see if I'm done, done or not. When I started the journey, I had a number in mind, but I'm not sure if it's really my number or an arbitrary number society told me because I feel great and love my body again. Yeah, this. How do you know when you're really done losing weight? So first of all, we have people who still have to lose weight who are in

the maintenance group, because I think it's great to be in the maintenance group, listen to the conversations that we are having in maintenance so that you know what's coming down the pipeline. I think it just can really enhance your whole weight loss experience, where you know where you're going. Like in the weight loss group, we talk a lot about how you start the program, you get in your car, and you are on the road to finally and forever. You're heading to a destination, which is your goal weight. We call it Disneyland, you know, whatever that might be. And to me, being in the maintenance group while you are still working towards your weight

loss goal is like having a map to the park. It's one thing to drive to Disneyland, but then when you get there, you have to figure out where you're going, where you're staying, where you're parking, where you're, you know, which, which part of the park you're going to Disneyland. But then when you get there, you have to figure out where you're going, where you're staying, where you're parking, where you're, you know, which, which part of the park you're going to see. I was just at Disneyland in Hong Kong. So I know there's a lot to it. It's not just getting there. Once you get there, it's a whole other, it's a whole other thing. So I, I highly advise for people to be listening to the conversation that we're having in maintenance. I mean, the conversation in maintenance is about being in maintenance for those who are done losing their weight.

But we've had this conversation so many times because people will reach their goal weight and then go into maintenance and then be in maintenance for a while and then be like, you know what? I think I can actually lose more weight. I think I feel like I want to lose more weight. And only you know what it's like to live in your body. So no one else can tell you, you're right, it can't be measured by a number. I love, it's more measured by a feeling. And we've heard this enough to know that you're going to know when you are done. It's like, it's, it's a

feeling. And so I always like that, how would I feel if I just stop now and decide this is my weight, and I'm going to move forward with this? And how would I feel if I decide to go for more? You know, so it's really a lot of times, like you said, it's what society says, people get really stuck on that, or I had a number, and I reached that or people in my life are telling me I've lost so much weight, you need to stop now. Or, you know, no one again knows where you're going to feel confident and comfortable in your body. So it's really up to you. So a big conversation that we do have, I can tell you, is that once you've reached your

goal weight, you have to remember that when you're doing the program and you are reaching your goal weight, you are doing that by doing all of the things. You are maximizing, you are trying to see your lowest low. You're drinking the water, you're managing your stress, you're doing that by doing all of the things you are maximizing, you are trying to see your lowest low, you're drinking the water, you're managing your stress, you're managing your sleep, you're doing all of these things. And when you are in maintenance, your weight is going to tend to sit above five pounds, three to five pounds above that I would even say five to seven pounds above that because just normal processing of foods, and not like being so diligent and doing all of the things to try to feel your best every day and see that lowest low, your weight is going to sit about

five pounds above. Now that doesn't mean that you gained five pounds. It just means that you're not diligent in doing all of the things to keep your weight on the lower end. So it is normal, especially as you start to, um, you know, add carbohydrates and stuff back into your diet, like breads and pastas or whatnot, because they take more fluid in order to process those, that your weight will sit about five pounds above. People are always really surprised about that. But that doesn't mean that you've gained that weight. That's just sort of that's your set point. So your set point is not one number, your set point is not your lowest low, your set point is of a range of about 10 pounds that your weight will fluctuate. And I

talk about this a lot. My weight range is like 119 up to like 130. Now I had health issues in the fall, you know, hormones and stomach issues and a super duper high stress as many of you know. So my weight was like on the higher end, I even went up to like 137. And then I've been really making a push to manage my stress. I haven't changed really the way that I'm eating. I haven't really exercised anymore. I really made a hardcore push to manage my stress. And my weight probably now is probably sitting around 125 or so.

And so that's just life, right? And that's why, you know, when you move on and you're living a life of maintenance, you're going to have stressful times in your life. You're going to have more celebratory times in your life. So this is where you want to be in tune and be mindful. But for the most part, it's definitely a range. Another thing I will say too is that when people are in maintenance, they don't feel as, we get this all the time, they say, I'm maintaining my weight fine, but I don't feel

as good as I felt when I was losing weight. And that's because when you were focused on losing weight, you were doing all of these things, managing your stress, moving your body in order to pursue a number or that goal weight. And now that you've no longer pursuing that, you are not as diligent in doing all those things that were really making you feel really good, right? So those are kind of two big conversations that we're always really having. How do I know when I'm done? And then, you know, I'm maintaining weight fine, but why don't I feel as good as I felt? So, you know, you have to in almost in maintenance, even assess like, what's your why in maintenance? What's your motivator in maintenance? You know, what are you trying

to get out of this? Why are you continuing to show up? Why are you working through all of this stuff? You know, after eight months in full maintenance, I signed back up to work on mindfulness to lose another five. Check myself before I wreck myself. Yeah, exactly. Right. We have, we have people who, you know, are in maintenance for, you know, not even get through solidifying. They're like, you know what? I want to lose more weight. We have people who've been maintaining for a year and then decide, you know, I want to go back for five pounds. You know, it really, that's just life, different stages and phases in your life. You might have done the program and be like, I'm so done. I feel amazing. I don't want to work towards this anymore. And then you take a break from it. And then you realize again, how great

you felt and like, hey, you know what, maybe I'll go back and do that. Or maybe you did a program. And it was a lot. We were just talking about this with my team. The last group was heavy, man, there was so much going on so much going on in the world. I was really feeling the heav this with my team, the last group was heavy, man, there was so much going on so much going on in the world. I was really feeling the heaviness with my ex passing away, we had one of our amazing members, Sarah Perry, who passed away. We've had so much going on, it felt really, you know, really, really heavy. So you're going to have different times in your seasons of your life where you know, you may be more inclined to deal with that mental part than others.

And you're just at capacity, you know what I mean? So no rules here. Hi, Valerie. Maintenance has been a great journey for me. I have worked through and still working through past diet trauma, for lack of a better word. That's a good one. Because that can go back to like childhood. It could go back to all the different traumas in our lives where we use

food to cope. We could go through dieting traumas, comments, things that were sad. There's a lot to it. Um, I have maintained for two years at the higher side of my set point range. So for those new to maintenance, it works. Uh, let me see if I can expand this, see more. I do want to lower my set point a bit. So that is my current focus all in how fantastic is it to have a plan? Yeah, I'm much calmer and nearing the home plate. So thankful for all of that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm really like, again, you know, we talk about this a lot where you you do the weight loss group, you feel great, then you come into maintenance. And then, you know, we talk about this a lot, where you you do the weight loss group, you feel great, then you come into maintenance, and then, you know, life starts to creep in, where maybe you're not prioritizing yourself as much, or you have other stresses in your life, or things like your

hormones, maybe just the age that you're at, you know, things that you're going to have to deal with. And that's one of the things that I've been through, I'm really interested to have more home hormone specific conversations, especially with Dr. Alinka, she's going to be in the weight loss group, but she's obviously going to be coming in the maintenance group. I know a debt has a whole slate of guest experts coming in this year for you guys. You know, and you think like, I've gone and done this amazing thing. I've lost my weight. I'm healthy. I'm doing all of this. And then life has a way of smacking you in the face. And then you're like, okay, wait, maybe I'm not as good as I thought. And then things feel like they kind of get away from you. You know? Like I said, for me, I took,

you might've noticed I've been MIA last little bit in between groups. I completely went off really social media, hardly posted, spent a good solid three weeks with my family, serious downtime. I've edited my life. I've taken a step back and be like, okay, what am I really motivated to do? What? And I got to quiet the noise. And the impact on my body has just been incredible. And it's stress.

It's all stress, you know? And this is where like you, the thing that I love about our weight loss program is it's really, it prioritizes, it makes you prioritize yourself. And because we're not counting, weighing, measuring, doing all of that, you internalize everything. You're being so in tune. And it puts you in tune with your body's needs. It puts you in tune not only with that, when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat.

It also puts you in tune with everything across the board. What works for you in life, what doesn't work for you, people in your life that work for you, people in your life that don't work for you, situations in your life that work for you, people in your life that don't work for you, situations in your life that work for you, situations in your life that don't work for you. It's your intuition. It doesn't only put you in tune to your body's needs, in tune to what you eat and when, in tune to how much you need, in tune to everything across the board. And I think we don't talk about that enough, especially when it comes into maintenance,

because that's a real skill that you have now after putting the time in that you put into losing weight with the living method. And now that you're in maintenance, I think we don't we're not all not all really honoring that enough. Because again, we start to hear, okay, we've put enough time into weight loss, now we got to get back to our lives. And, you know, we don't keep up with a lot of the same habits that we did while we were losing, maybe we don't feel like we can take the time to prioritize, like we did when we were losing, because now we don't have that goal anymore. So now we should get back to prioritizing everybody else, I should get back to working 59 hours a day, I should get back to doing this, I don't have time to exercise, I don't have time for this, I don't have time for that, you know, so

it's really just about figuring out what you need, what you need, what you need. New year, new me. Season is here. And honestly, we're already over it.

I've been testing the waters and letting in foods I haven't had in a while. It amazes me

that the scale doesn't go up. Is that due to a more efficient metabolism? Yeah. So chances are those foods alone did not cause you to gain weight. It was probably more a vicious cycle of when you indulge in those types of foods, then you followed it by starving and depriving yourself, or the, you know, the constant dieting, starve yourself, deprive yourself, lose weight, gain it all back plus more or when you've lost weight, your body feels inclined to like, especially if you've lost weight through a deprivation diet where you're starving and depriving and forcing your body to burn the fat, you will lose weight that way. But simultaneously, you will reinforce the fact that you need that fat. So your body's like, holy shit, we just starved to death. So next chance I eat, I'm going to just

take everything and store it as fat. So it's probably in combination with that. And then long periods of time without eating, high stress, lack of sleep, lack of movement, all of those things cause your body to feel a need to store fat. So through doing the program, your body doesn't feel a need to store fat anymore. That's why the first few weeks of the program, the whole entire program is really about giving your body what it needs. And when you give your body what it needs, it will no longer feel the need to hold on to and store excess fat because every extra pound of fat is hard on your body. And so those foods in the first place didn't cause you to gain that weight, they can make you feel bloated, they can be salty and have your weight up, they can make you not feel great after a while for

sure. And then maybe because you're not feeling so great, maybe you're not like moving as much and then they're interrupting your sleep because you're having something sugary or whatever before bed. And do you know what I mean? And then you start to really start to really feel it. But yeah, you should. And yes, your body has an opportunity to repair, to rebuild, to regenerate, to rejuvenate, to increase your metabolism. Your body before, when it was feeling a need to store fat through starving and depriving, would be really reserved about the energy it's giving you, really protective of the fat that it has come to store, because it feels like it needs it. And when you give your body what it needs, it starts to giving

you the energy that you need to do things. So that's why you feel an increase of energy when you're losing weight, like how you do with the Libby method, right? So yes, increased metabolism for sure, makes a big difference. So yeah, I mean, all it's not just that it's all of the hard work that you've put into losing weight the way that you have lost it and, you know, more consistent eating, being more mindful about your body's needs, you know, um, you know, avoiding real dips in blood sugar, that type of thing. Uh, even if you're, you know, going some days where you are going longer periods of time without eating, you're, I'm assuming you're basing that on the fact that you're, you're, you're not hungry, you know, depending if you're personalized and plan or wherever you're at. So, yeah, so that's, that's it. Like usually they, if you eat food and it causes like,

you have to eat something like 68 donuts in a sitting to gain one pound. Like it's just the gaining weight is so much harder than people really realize. I used to help people or people used to come to me and be like, Oh, your weight loss. Can you help me gain weight? And I used to do that. It's so frustrating. And it's so hard that I stopped doing it because I don't love it. I don't love it. It's actually a lot harder for people to gain weight than they think. The scale will fluctuate a lot, but to actually gain real weight, it's quite difficult. Love the maintenance group. Realized I didn't solidify long enough and due to life stresses have decided to follow along with the weight loss schedule for my own wellbeing, uh, both mentally and physically. Yeah. And that happens. It's so important to take the time to solidify your weight. You've got to give that body time

to adjust to your new weight, to make your new weight, your new norm. I cannot stress how important that is. You put, sometimes it can seem like you lose the weight. Some people lose the weight so quickly in the weight loss group, which is great. But we know from the studies that Ruth Kane and our team at the University of Ottawa have done on the Libby Method is that people who took them longer to lose the weight actually have a much easier time in maintenance because they have done that level up work. They have been solidifying along the way, even though when they're taking longer to lose their weight. So it seems that people who

lose their weight quickly have a harder time on the back end with maintenance, because they've got to they haven't done put in that time. Right. So definitely putting that time, not just physically, but also mentally. And I love that, you know, the weight loss program is so much more remember, it was originally designed as a lifestyle program. It wasn't even really it was like, wow, when you do these things, you know, you lose weight. And, you know, that's originally how I sold it. It's a lifestyle program. You can get healthier, more in tune to your body's needs.

And then people will be like, I just want to lose weight. I'm like, yeah, you will lose weight. It's amazing. And they're like, no, I just want to lose weight. You know, so there's so many benefits to prioritizing yourself every day, being in tune to your body's needs, to putting your body on a routine that's not stressful or, you know, that stresses it out just enough that you can get even more in tune to its body, to its needs and cause it to level up.

Like there's so much you can do. So I love that. I love that. Uh, I can totally relate to the stress and its effects on the body. This group is amazing. It reminds me to think of myself to be healthy back in talk in so many ways. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's, you know, we want to provide a safe, positive, fun space for

you to focus on yourself every day. Uh, a light in the dark universe of the, the interweb or online, which can be so negative. And a lot of us are don't have the social interaction that we had before the pandemic, or, you know, or just plain up don't have the kind of social interaction. And for a variety of reasons, and I want this to be a place where you can come in and realize that there's other people just trying to feel their best. You know, after working so hard to lose weight, really work to maintain their weight, but really a positive space for you to work on yourself, whatever it is that you want to do, you want to start running, you want to start a business, you want to start dating, you want to feel better about yourself, you want to be more in tune to your body's needs, you want to have

better energy, all those things. You know, that's what we want this group to be. Like I said, I'm working on that third group. Once you've lost the Um, like I said, I'm working on that third group. Uh, once you've lost the weight, maintain the weight, then I have all that time to do other things in your life. Um, but we're not quite there yet. Not quite there yet. Uh, let me see if I, uh, scroll down a little bit more, uh, here. I love it. You guys are all just back. Welcome 2024. Hi, everyone. Okay, so there we go. I just want to jump on today and say hello, say Happy New Year. Just give you a heads up on our plans around here. I'm very much focused on maintenance. We are going to simultaneously be posting some of the posts

that are being posted in the weight loss group, but in the maintenance group with a twist of maintenance on them. So if you are solidifying with the weight loss group, I mean, obviously, there's lots of benefits to being in there. But I think there's kind of a benefit to being in both at the same time, this is where we can keep the maintenance conversation more contained. So I want you to remember that we have a team of people here, excited, happy to help answer any of the questions that you have while you're in maintenance. So don't be afraid to reach out, ask all the questions that you need. I'm going to see you guys on Thursday for our Way in Wednesday segment. Like I said, Odette's got a lot of fun stuff, get giveaways, guests, whatnot. I hope you also take time if you're in maintenance, a lot of

things that people miss from being in the weight loss group is the routine and the structure. So notice each day, you know, we are working on some fun posts for you to engage in and just keep your mind specifically focused on yourself. There is something to be said about continuing with setting intentions, end of day reflections and whatnot, even though you're no longer maybe pursuing a weight loss goal. But at the same time, you know, you are still focused on those maintenance goals, right? Good to hear you clear your clarification, encouragement, personalizing, but day by day now assessing along the way. Yeah, we're here for you. We're here for you. Do you do these lives every Monday at noon?

Yep. So Monday at noon, sometimes we throw in some guest experts at this time as well. Here's another one. With summer, my husband losing both parents, a holiday in Pooch to Canada and Christmas, I feel I gained too much. My body has always fluctuated a lot. So I must look at things a little differently. I don't feel happy at this higher weight. So I must figure out what I cannot eat and what I should do differently to get back down.

Okay. So I know I got a jab, but I do want to get into this quickly. I wouldn't look at it as, so look at the stress that you just talked about, right? Husband losing both parents, a holiday in Putakana, Christmas. I mean, even just losing both parents and then Christmas, that's heavy. That's a lot. You don't have to offset a holiday in Putakana was probably beneficial for you. I don't care if you eat your eight and drink your face off, you probably needed that kind of reprieve a little bit. I don't know the order of what things happen. But you you're looking at I have to must figure out what I cannot eat. So I'm going to guess it had nothing to do with what you were eating and it had everything

to do with your stress. You probably weren't moving as much. You're probably super stressed. You probably, um, you know, weren't getting great sleep. If anything, you probably needed to eat more, more often. Sometimes when we're stressed like that, we're not really eating enough. It affects our appetites. When you're stressed, you're rubbing really high, even emotional stress. You don't have to be like, oh my God, I'm so stressed, but you're feeling it. And maybe if you didn't even know your

husband's parents all that well, you're still feeling stressed for him and the emotions that he obviously is dealing with. So that's a lot. That's a lot to go through. Plus the fall last year was pretty heavy. There's a lot going on. So I'm going to guess that it didn't really have much to do with what you were eating. Maybe what you weren't eating, you probably needed to bump up your good fats, right? To kind of give you and kind of feed into that stress. Maybe you needed to move a little bit more, walk a little bit more, deep breathe a little bit more, manage your stress a little bit more, walk a little bit more, deep breathe a little bit

more, manage your stress a little bit more, focus on getting your sleep. So sometimes when people, when their weight goes up, they're always like, well, it must be something I'm eight or I did. And they didn't look at it from like the full picture of the circumstance that you were under. Like I said, with me and my stress, I haven't really done much. And I feel a million times better because I've made a hardcore push to manage my stress. So, so really done much. And I feel a million times better because I've made a hardcore push to manage my stress. So so in looking not to say that you you can't still look to your diet and be like, Okay, what was I maybe, maybe you fell into some coping mechanisms, right? Maybe you there's some certain foods that you were eating to help you cope. So that's

falling back into those old habits. And so it's really working through those old habits, and be like, okay, why did I look to go eat that or do drink or eat or whatever as a way to cope, right? But the first step is sort of taking a step back and recognizing, okay, what was happening during that period, in its totality, not just the foods that you were eating at the end of the day, like look like someone else was talking about how they're eating and indulging in foods and their weight's not going up, right? So they're not those foods alone aren't going to stop cause you to gain weight in combination with stress, lack of sleep, lack of movement, all those things. Yes, they can definitely add up, especially if you're not giving your body enough. So just just a heads up on that and some

things to to think about. but man uh it sounds like you've been quite through quite a bit and that's why we're here for you that's why you're here for you uh okay i gotta go you guys and that's my time for today so yes i will be uh back on mondays i will also see you on wednesday 4 p.m of course with any of our live segments um they do all get reposted over on our podcast way in with With Gina.
