I'm Gina Livy and welcome to the Livy Method podcast. This is where you'll have access to all of the live streams for my 91 day weight loss program. With a combination of daily lives, guest expert interviews, and member stories, there is something new almost every day. Miss the morning live? Want to re-listen to one of our amazing guest experts? Well, this is the place. This podcast is hosted on ACAST, but it's available on all podcast platforms, including the one you're listening to right now, Spotify, Apple, and Amazon Music. It's your maintenance midweek motivation.

Some of my favorite conversations are taking place here. Wake up, look good, feel good, no matter what life throws out you. You got this. You got this. You do. Let's get excited about this. You lost your weight. Now you want to do the work to be able to maintain and sustain it.

This is serious business. Let's stay laser focused on this. It's so easy to get sidetracked to continue to sabotage yourself once you reach your goals, trust, disbelief, feeling worthy, all of those things. There is work to do. Science is now, research is now telling people that it takes about two years for people to be able to maintain and sustain their weight. That's just haphazardly trying to figure it out, having lost their weight through other methods. We know, for example, people who take GLP-1s, not only do they stop losing weight, they start gaining it back at four times the rates.

So taking these GLP1 medications cause you to gain that weight back rapidly. Oprah just came out and talked about this publicly. You have no choice but to continue to take weight loss medications. I know for a fact there's like new maintenance medications that work on your leptin, your hunger hormones that are coming down the pipeline as well. But they don't make you healthier. They don't help you work through your issues, your associations, all your shit, feeling worthy, your relationship with food, relationship with yourself.

They don't allow you to enjoy life, to enjoy all the yummy bites of bits that life has to offer. You absolutely can lose your weight in a healthy way. You absolutely can learn the things you need to learn, work through the things you need to work through in order to be able to maintain and sustain your weight. I've done it for over 30 years. Over 100 pounds, probably close to 150 pounds. There are times in my life. I'm on the low end when everything is wonderful and easy and maybe I'm on a health kick and I'm working out and all those things. times in my life where I'm on the higher end where just, you know, life is smacking me in the face and

I'm stressed out and I'm not handling life very well. I have the tools and the skills to know exactly what I need to do to check myself before I wreck myself, to support myself when, you know, life is smacking me in the face and shit is hitting the fan. That's what this is about. And there is work to do. I'm excited about getting back to focusing on the work that we need to do in the conversations that we need to have. I'm so excited for every single person in this group, whether you've been here since 2022, when we started our first program, or you're just joining us now. This is where you want to be, of course, the maintenance group. Been involving. It started out as a group. Now we have a program. We have our new version with our app coming out in the

spring. It's been an evolution because the conversation we have, nobody else in the entire fucking world is having. Nobody is talking about this. No one fucking. cares about you maintaining your weight. You want to know why? Because you'll keep buying more pills. You'll keep signing up for their lifetime membership to their weight loss program. And one of the reasons why we wanted to offer a lifetime opportunity, and I've never used the word lifetime, but an ongoing access to our group when we first started, we want people to be successful. We want them to be able to maintain and sustain their weight. And we know how hard that is, right? So we're having the conversations nobody is having. And we are so grateful you're

showing up. That's the kind of mood I'm in, how I woke up today in the weight loss program. People are already frustrated. It's been a week and a half. You know, I feel so bad because they're just not going to make it. They're not going to make it with that kind of attitude. And maintenance is so important. You've already done the hard work. This is where you do the really important work, you know. So hi, Edadette. Happy Wednesday. Hi. Hi. Hi. I'm here too. You know, yeah, let's just let's do it. Let's dive deep. Let's have the conversations. Let's go there.

I know today you wanted to talk about routines. You want to talk about reprogramming. You want to talk about habits and principles. Like, let's go. Let's go. What do you want to talk about first? There's a lot to talk about. So I just want to, I'm just reading the comments that are coming in and members are saying,

hi, I need this today. I'm struggling to get on track or there's a lot of humps to get over. And that's exactly what this midpoint check in is for, this midweek check in. And to have that awareness where you're like, ah, I know what I need to do. but I'm having it's getting it's tricky to get there. Yeah, it can be tricky to get there because, you know, it's, it's easy to fall back. Your body, let's talk about reprogramming. This is where we're going to start. Your body and your brain has come to expect something. So we're not, you're not here to change who you are. You're here to change what your body and your brain has come to expect. And that is not easy. You know, you want to keep those old belief systems. You want to keep those old belief patterns. That's easy. That's easy to stay there. But when we talk about reprogramming, it is that mindset shift. It is, you know, letting go of the idea, the expectation that dieting is temporary. Why am I not done now?

You know, maintaining weight loss has to be about restriction. So how can I feel calm and confident around food if I'm not restricting, you know, that it's that old mindset that control equals success. That's what we're reprogramming here. And that's where that work has to get done. So if we're feeling like we can't get back on track, we're feeling there's so many there's so many humps and hurdles to get over it's because we just haven't got there yet we haven't that reprogramming hasn't clicked yet that old dialogue is still

hanging around a little bit you know yeah but also like um there's a couple things that you said there that i wanted to address this time of year your body like you know you know if you've had someone in your life pass away or you've dealt with something really traumatic in your life you don't have to you don't need to put it on your calendar because your body just knows you just know. And you're like, what's going on with me? And you realize, oh, my God, this is, this is the day that that happened. Like, you, you don't need to put these things on your calendar because you just know. And, you know, I think this time of year, a lot of people are depressed, right? It's dark. It's gloomy. It's after the holidays that, you know, jacked up excitement, the one most

wonderful time of year. Financially, people are a little stressed. Emotionally, after spending time around family, they are stressed. Like, you know, there's so much going on that we get triggered by just this time of year, for example, right? I think we are looking to change. You know, like, I look at this year and I just, I'm just so done with so many things, so many things. And if you're reading some of the comments in the group, especially app-related, I'm just so done with so many things. I've had enough. And I think it's just being at this place where I know where I'm at. And I, when I did that post the other day, I don't give any fucks. It's It's not like I don't care, but there's so many things that just, I'm not doing it anymore. I have

changed so much. Is it because of menopause or is it because of the work that I did? Just like every other woman, my weight went up. I felt like I was having dementia. I, you know, was edgy, a heart palpita, all those things. But then I did the work to help me get through that work. Right. I think you grow and evolve as a person and you're meant to change. And how you are living your life and how you are showing up in your life and your habits and your thoughts to Odette's point, you were an exact like consequence of all of that. And we forget like we probably were not happy physically, not happy mentally. So how we were living our lives wasn't working for us.

It's beyond just it had been about weight loss, right? Like you were a product of your environment, a product. and a product of your habits. And I think we do change and we do evolve. You can become a completely different person. I am calm and I am confident. I had to work through feeling worthy a couple years ago. I have worked through so many things. I'm like a bring that shit on. I am not the same. And I know I'm not the same because, you know, with friendships, this is why a lot of times we lose friends in our lives because we change. Right. And, you know, there's a particular friendship. It was interesting. I had my best friend of 20 years and I was really changing. I was going through a hard time in my life and our relationship change. We're no longer friends. It's interesting. Recently, I saw her post a video of me and she included me in it. And it brought up all sorts of feels. But I couldn't be her friend today because she wouldn't want to be friends with me because I would say things back to her that before I would never say. Don't talk to me that way. Don't treat me like this. Okay, you do not have it all together. Right. Like there's,

There's things I never said, which is why our relationship worked. And fuck that shit. You know, if I'm telling you something or calling you out on something, it's because I love you and I want the best for you. You know, so I think we are meant to change. We grow out of relationships. If the other person isn't growing, you're growing and changing, evolving. Like, I think this is about changing.

You can't go back because it didn't work for you, you know. But it's hard. It's hard. And I think when you call out what you want in life, and this is where when you're starting the weight loss program, their maintenance program, you're like, universe, bring it on. Let me learn everything I need to learn in order to reach my goals. Bring it on. Challenge the crap out of me. I am here for it. And there were always surprised when we're being challenged. The universe is friendly. The universe has your back. It's not going to give you more than you can handle. And this is why again, and I've said it so many times, people must be like, shut the fuck up, Gina.

your thoughts and your feelings are, that is it. That is it. This is your insight. This is your path forward. The system and the method is follow the program and the guidelines. But that's that big thing. This was why it's so hard to change.

Old habits are hard to break for a reason because we double down on them when we fall back on them. Right? Like it's not hard work. Yeah. You said something there too about, you know, you're calm now. And I think this is a really challenging place for some of our members to be in a calm place because calm can have you feeling like you're not doing enough. Like I everything is calm around me. There's no drama. I'm not restricting. I'm not controlling. I must not be doing

enough to make change. I must not be, you know, in this forward trajectory because things are just too calm. I need that chaos. I need that drama. I need that feeling like I don't have it all together because that helps you feel like you're actually doing something like you're taking action where the action that you are taking is actually boring. Like it can be really boring to be consistent every day. It can be boring to do the boring shit, moving your body, drinking your water, eating leafy greens.

That can seem boring because it's not, it's not laced with, you know, control and restriction. and anxiety and, you know, feeling like you have to make this big, massive change. And a boring, calm place can feel a little bit scary like you're not doing enough. And then what that does is it opens up your mind. Now you have all this brain capacity to think of other things that feel uncomfortable. And we don't necessarily want to go there either. We're not ready for that step. Those triggers and associations and thoughts.

I think because sometimes we don't take time to honor our feelings, It's like, you know, when something really tragic happens, we like physically trash ourselves because we want to validate our feels like so much and why it's so easy to get sidetracked. And then there's like the rhythm of which you function at life. And when there isn't drama, we create the drama. It's like you're used to like, you know, like the world functions at like the reason why people like Adele's songs is there's like a there's like a rhythm to the universe like if 400 something hurts megabyte. Like there's a rhythm to the universe. And some people function at an Adele song. And some people are like a Metallica song.

Do you have someone in your life where there's always drama? Or if you're used to stressing, you're just like you're used to stressing. And when there's nothing to stress about, this reminds me of Odette when we went to St. Lucia and we did like a site check and we're going to be announcing a retreat in 2027 that we're going to be doing. But Odette and Kim and Sonia and I were there. And it was like team building and site checking for this retreat that I want to do there. And on about day three or four, none of us were speaking to each other. And we're like, what's wrong with us?

Like, what is going on with us? We were relaxed. We were in the moment. We were doing yoga classes and meditation classes and we were not on our phones. And we weren't stressing about work. It felt so weird that collectively the four of us were like, are we okay? Yeah. Are we sick? What's going on? What's wrong? Yeah. And, you know, my motto for this, my motto for

26 that I actually got through a friend is do less. I'm going to do less. I'm going to work smarter, not harder, you know, and full transparency. I used to have one to have the number one weight loss company in the world. I've said this so many times if you wanted to be there, if you've been with me. I don't care about that anymore. I don't. I care about quality. I care about actually helping people. I don't care how many people it is. 500,000, 5,000, 5,000, I don't want that in my life anymore. Maybe that was the young, hanging on to the young, you know, spirited version of me. I don't care anymore about that.

I want to show up and do what I love. I want to feel calm and confident in my body. I want to feel healthy. I don't want to be scared about being sick. And, you know, I just, I want to live my best life. And you're allowed to change your mind on what. what that looks like and what that feels like. And I think when you spend so long being a person trying to lose weight and now you've done all this work to come into your own, you're allowed to

decide how you want to change and how you want to show up and how this changes you. It's so much bigger than just, it's just it's big. Yeah. Yeah, we're totally off topic here, aren't we? Yes, yes, we are. But that's okay. We can. I think it's a good. I think it's a great. I think it's a good time of year to self-reflect. I think it's a good time year. And it's funny you said that in the check in that you said that because this morning in the check-in, you know, I really wanted to just take a pause and ask people, how are you really doing? We're 10 days in here.

You know, I think on January 5th, we're excited. We're ready to go. We feel like we've got it going on. And then like Mary said, like getting up back on track is difficult. Like, why is it difficult? Is it you don't want to do that boring? stuff. You like what you don't want to just get back to the basics. You want to feel like it's it fucking sucks. It fucking sucks. Let's call a spade of spade. It's shit, but doing nothing about

nothing. I'm going to get you time flies so quickly. My kids, this happens with my kids. They get in situations and I'm like, okay, this sucks now. You've got to keep moving forward. And before you know, your whole situation will change. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. I mean, I don't know. And that's like, and that's like it's true. You keep going. Like there's that old, that old adage as well. it's like, you know, if you're walking through a fire, just keep walking because you're going on the other side of the fire eventually, right? Like, just keep going. Keep walking through it. And I, and I hear you about it sucking and not being great. And you want to feel that glimmer every day. And you want to feel that spark every day. But sometimes it's just getting back to those basics and getting

into that routine and creating that time to be able to make change. Be super boring in some places so that, you know, you can really start to make change in other places, have that space, have that capacity. have that capacity, have that energy to make that long-term change. I want to read a comment here from, and that's beautiful, right? Like, that's taking the time. We never take the time. We're always rushing. We never take the time to reflect on where we're at.

Elsie. Hi, Elsie. I found out yesterday, I have a tear in my ligament, my elbow, and cannot work at the moment. I am a massage therapist, so I definitely can't do that. Feeling a bit down about it today. I bet. it sucks. It's who you are. It's what you do. It's how you help. It's your gift to the world. Right. And like, really, that's so impactful in your life. Every time you help someone and they say, thank you so much. That was

amazing. That's a dopamine hit in your life. Like, it makes you feel good. I am challenging myself to look at this time to be able to focus on my health and wellness. A doctor told me this can take several months to heal. Like, not what you wanted to. Not what you wanted. But, you know, not what you wanted. I love that you're saying today I'm refusing to follow negative thoughts. You're allowed, though, to be down. You're allowed to take as much time as you need. I usually put a cap on myself. I'm like, just give me a moment to rant. Get it out. Like, who is it, Atlanta? Take time to stress out. Stress the fuck out throughout the day. Like, you're allowed to take as much time as you want to be like, this sucks. And yeah, other people have other problems going on. I want to bring up something in a

minute. But, you know, this is you in your life. And this is, this is a big thing. This is, and you're allowed to take a moment. I think for Elsie, too, like, it's a change in who she is and her gift to the world and putting all that out there. And it's also, I know we were going to talk about routine. And I don't want to just segue into that. But this is part of that as well. This is a real shakeup to her day to day. This is a real shakeup to what she does, you know, like getting up in the morning, I go to work, I help these people. I come home. And now that part is. is not there. There's going to be this empty space. And this empty space maybe is the time, like you said, to have your feelings, to have that validation, to, you know, allow that to come through.

And then you'll be able to figure out what comes next. What comes into that space now? You know, if it's not going to work in helping people, what comes into that space? How does that little part, not little, I don't mean to minimize, but how does that part of your routine have to change and shift now so that you can still feel like, you know, you're still getting that same feeling of helping people and being out there. Yeah. And remember our goal for everyone in domain and this is not for you to stick around forever. Like we really understand the benefit of community and we want to figure out how can we

stay connected to community and have conversations that build on the conversations, right? So you lost weight. That was a conversation. I mean, it's this conversation. We're trying to think of like, you know, our next beyond the scale group or, you know, living your life group, right? And I think there's nothing wrong with separating community and support and all. and all access to, you know, all of that.

And then just moving on from being a trying to lose your weight to trying to maintain your weight to just living your life. I think those are separate things. I, you know, I noticed someone talking about the app, right? It's become a habit. This is my first time in maintenance. And I think I need time to let go of needing to see gratification of the rings. I mean, any app you use has things built in to make you feel good, dopamine.

hits all those things. I think there's nothing wrong with a tool that helps you in life. But this should be different. Your maintenance journey should be different than your weight loss journey. I want to read Corey here because I think this is sort of leading into the conversation I'm going to get into next. I lost a friend when I started this three years ago, even tried to get her to do it with me for fun and support. She fought it with every excuse in the world. I had to look at why we are friends. I realized she needed me to be unhappy and stuck with myself and wallow and be codependent. A lot of people in our lives, your friend's circle needs you to be the fat person. So if you're noticing maybe you don't get invited anymore to things or your friend's circle

is changing, it's because they needed you to be the fat person. Or maybe now someone else, and of course, you know how I use that term in the safe space to do that for lack of a better term. Now someone else has to step up and be that person. It changes dynamics. It changes who you are, whether we like it or not, the way people judge you, whether we like it or not the way people communicate to you. Whether we like it or not and it's right or not, it changes everything. Also, because you are now changing the energy you show up with.

I still think about her and I wish her well and I hope she does good things for herself. Yeah. Right. And by the way, I'm happier than I ever have. I live lighter. Yeah. we're meant to change in our lives. We're meant to change. We're meant to evolve. And that's not, that's not an easy thing, right? Even in the best of circumstances, like, you know, good things

happen to you. Like, things that make you happy don't necessarily make other people happy. Yeah. And I think this, this evolvement and this growth and this change. I mean, it's going to, that comes with its own set of challenges, like you said. And relationships will change. And I think the relationship with yourself also changes. You know, what you accepted for yourself, before, you're not going to accept anymore. And that can feel scary. Like, if I don't talk to myself in this way, I have to talk to myself in a different way. If I don't believe the things that I believed about myself before, you know, that I can't do it, that I'm not, I can't trust myself. I'm not confident. I'm not this, I'm this person. I have to now change that relationship with myself.

That can also be something that can can feel uncomfortable and jarring and maybe have you feel, you know, stuck a little bit. So yes, I think that your external relationship, are going to change, but also that relationship you have with yourself and how you, how you look and believe in yourself. It's, it's, it's, it's uncomfortable. It's, it's being uncomfortable, I think. That's the place where you learn. That's a place where you grow. Like it's, I love when things are easy, peasy, but are we learning anything? We're enjoying life. And a lot of enjoying life is looking good, is feeling good, you know, is, is having a, you know, a better relationship with yourself, with food, with people around you.

Like this is sort of where it gets complicated because this work that you doing here is going to help you design the life that you know that you want to live, right? We're in that work stage and phase. You know, and it's work. I'm reflecting on myself right now. And I think there's always something to be learned. You know, when people say things to you that you don't like, what is the message in that? I think we're always learning and growing and evolving.

I had someone in the weight loss program when I asked people, you know, with the lives, do you want a recap or do you want like a timestamp, right? I'm going to talk to you about this too because I think, you know, sometimes I remember might want a recap of this conversation if they missed it, not a timestamp. And someone said, you know, it's my third group. I've like heard it all before. So like it doesn't really matter, you know, recap, case I missed anything. And I was like, I hope I never get to that place where I feel.

like I've heard it all before. You know, one repetition is really important. I think if you keep hearing the same thing over and over and over, you're not changing. Like I've had all these conversations with our guest experts and I learn something new every time I walk away. I feel inspired and energized. And it's the same fucking conversation over and over again for years and years and years. And it never gets old because I don't ever want to get to a place where I feel like I've learned everything. I know it all. There's nothing new for me, right? There's always so much. But you have to be intentional about wanting to go there, wanting to, being open. You have to be intentional about open. And then what pops up, where your thoughts and your feels and, you know, that's the,

that, that is the work. The rest of it is just the routine and the system and the method. Yeah. I think, you know, thinking about hearing the same thing, I've heard it all before. I've heard it all before. But repetition is. is what can really help create change. When you're asking yourself, what does this mean for me now? How does this landing on me now? How do I think about this now? Yeah, I've heard it before. But like when someone says, hi, how are you? I'm good. The next day, hi, how are you? I'm good. I hear this every day. But how am I really? You know, how can that same question be different every single day? how can the information that you're hearing be different every single day or have a different message?

I think that's where repetition can become so important because you hear it once, you hear it once. Some things will stick with you forever and some things you'll hear them once and they'll be gone. Then you hear them again. You're like, oh yeah, I've heard that before. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. I've heard that before. So it's not just like your brain is not going to reprogram and rewire because of logic. Like you're like, oh, yeah, I heard that.

It makes sense. no, what about it makes sense? You know, what does this mean for you today? What is this going to mean for you tomorrow? And how is that going to help you reprogram and rethink? So I think that's where the repetition becomes really important, hearing those things over and over again, you know, but being curious, what does it mean for me now? I've heard this before. Yeah. And what are you going to do about it? That's the thing, right? Like, I'm smiling because I had this, you know, kind of my guru guy that I'm a Riki master and I studied metaphysics and stuff for a while. And the same message is always popping up because you're not fucking listening or doing anything

about it. And she'd be like, Gina, like how many times do you need to get hit or at a head with a two by four before you get the fucking message? Right? And then when you get that aha moment, you can be like, oh, my God. People have been trying to tell me this forever. Oh, my God. I've been struggling with this forever.

Oh, my God. I just didn't see it. Did I not see it? Maybe I wasn't ready to see it or was I just not trying to see it because I had my head in the sand and didn't want to. We got to go. Before I share this last bit of news, what do you want people to focus on this week? This week.

So this week is really about routine and shifting routines. We've been hearing that this week a lot. Like my routine is shifting. And it got me thinking about something that Dr. Paul said. I don't remember if it was here in this group or if it was in the maintenance in the weight loss group was a while ago. Dr. Paul said there's so many things that are going to throw you off your game. There's always something that's going to throw you off your game. You know, whether it's sickness, whether it's stress, whether it's an event that you weren't expecting. And your shifting routine can seem so small, but can be something that throws you off. Yeah. Can throw you off your game. So this week, if your routine has shifted and you're feeling like it has shifted and you're still trying to figure it out, just know that your routine can change, but you're still the same person. You're still you. You still have those same goals. And how can a new routine feel just as good? How can something different, not challenge you and throw you off your game, but challenge

you to adjust and make change? Because two, three, five, ten years down the road from now, things are going to change. Routines are going to change. Things are going to come up. And how you can frame it now and approach it now is going to just, you know, help you down the road when you're not here, when you're not here in this group anymore, when you are just out there living your life. So that's it.

Just focus on your routine. Maintaining someone's like off topic. I just made Alyssa's biscuits. They're so good. I have to remake those. I actually am going to remake those today. I just, you know, my life has been chaos for so long. My kids, you know, a lot going on. I just dump pets, like whatever. And my house is a disaster. And you guys know I've been talking about cleaning my room. I cleaned it. I didn't just clean it. I like, cleaned it. My bedroom, my bathroom, my vanity, all of it. My upstairs floor. And the kids are like, oh my God. They're like actually coming into my room. Like, this is so nice. I said, oh, yeah. Just wait, I'm going to do this to the whole house. But it's the routine of upkeep, right? So Tony every day, he takes his socks off at night by his bed, so they're there. And then, you know, he drops his clothes in the bathroom and it's there. So I'm just like, I'm not expecting him to change. I'm picking the socks and the clothes and putting it in a pile for him away.

I'm making the bed every day. I am, you know, wiping down the counters every day so that they don't be this big mess. I have to spend all day cleaning. It's a lot of work. And I, like, even my bed last night, like I made it. it at 7 o'clock at night because I'm like it should be so easy just to leave this I'm not doing it I'm making my bed Tony comes in he's gosh it's so nice the bed is made every day he gets up early he feeds the dogs he goes me coffee he sets up my stuff he does other things I'm not expecting him to do

everyone can figure out their own dynamics and relationships but this new new routine when I wake up it just my mind is free and when I go to bed my mind is calm and it's a lot of work it's a lot upkeep, gosh, is it so worth it? These new routines, they can be a lot of work, but game changers. And again, I'm just using my bedroom as just an example. I want to thank everyone for their time today, and I have some sad news or some upsetting news to share. One of our valued members, Camilla Marchet, you might know from our LiveLiter campaign. She lost over 111 pounds, I believe, and she's just so delightful. I had an opportunity when we did our LiveLiter shoot to meet her. And she is a small town girl and she was so nervous being in the city. I went to go meet her at the hotel.

We stayed at the same hotel. I went and met her. You know, we brought her to the thing and she came without her husband and she doesn't do anything without her husband and her beautiful family. And her husband suddenly and unexpectedly passed away at the age of 53. He had a massive heart attack the other day. I'm sharing because, you know, these are the type of things that, you know, some of us, unfortunately, are going to go through. And we want this to be a place, you know, where you can come in and, you know, be part of something in a community and get the support you need more than that. You know, we do get to know our members. And her family has set up a go fund me for her. I can't imagine, like, honestly, to know her, she just was like, oh my God, I'd never do anything with my husband. And I'm so small town. And I'm a small town girl myself. And this is no pressure on anybody. I'm just sharing. She's a very vocal member of our maintenance program and has been for a while. And I'm going to share it on my social media pages. So if you're interested, either if you know her personally reach out and you may not know.

And I know that word is out there now and people have reached out, which is why I'm sharing. I just want to wrap her in a big hug. And I can't even imagine. Tony and I had a conversation today. And I'm just like, oh, I'm like, don't die on me. You know, it sucks. And you just went through this with your dad. And God, it just puts everything in perspective, the stressing and, you know, the ab and just we're doing our best here.

Everyone's doing their best in life. And, you know, I wanted to let you know. And what you do with that is up to you. There's no pressure or anything like that. But I'm going to share that over on my social media. And Kim, I haven't met Kim in person. But I remember following her story and on Instagram when she did come to the city and just, you know, getting on the train by herself. because she came from far.

Like she didn't come from just an hour or two away. She came into the city from quite a distance. And, you know, just having these, just being so proud of herself and these, that was a life-changing moment for her. And unfortunately, this is another life-changing moment, not one that we anticipated or ever, like, expected to hear. But she has been a part of this group. And she has been part of this journey.

And she has grown and come through so much. We just want to support her through that. Yeah. Yeah. Sending her love. Thanks, everyone for joining us for these conversations today. You know, I don't know what it is. I guess maybe it's the time of year for us.

And maybe it's just, you know, who knows? But I mean, these are the conversations. Sometimes they're going to be, you know, sunshiny and rainbows. And other times they're going to be, you know, feel a little bit deeper and more reflective. We appreciate you being here for us and continuing to comment and ask questions and be part of the maintenance group. And like I said at the beginning, no one is having these conversations. Nobody is having these conversations

and they're so important. And the reason why we have these conversations is because of the questions you ask and the feedback that you share and what we have learned from all of our members here too. You know, like Odette and I are still very much, you know,

learning along with you. So thanks. Thanks for being, you know, on this journey with us. And thanks for joining us today. Odette, any words before we go? I'm going to see everyone again on Monday. I've been checking in. I'm in the group and answering questions you might have noticed with what's going on in maintenance.

Any final thoughts? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, just to follow up what you said there about these conversations, they are deeper. Sometimes they can be a bit more reflective. Sometimes we don't get to, you know, get to answer all the questions specifically. But we want members to know that this program can also be a very, the maintenance program can also be a bit of a technical program. So if you have questions about the food plan or.

habits or, you know, what are we doing this week when it comes to the tweak? Ask those questions too. Ask them in the group. You know, we might not get to them here, but it's super important to know exactly what we're focusing on, that we're not, you know, it's not that time to be going rogue. That's not what this part is. So we want to make sure that if we're having these deeper, more reflective conversations, but you have more of those technical program questions, make sure you ask them.

We want you to feel super clear and confident being here. We're here to build habits, routines. here to build, give you all the tools, but we're also here to help you feel super confident in that food plan. I don't even know what I fucking did yesterday, Odette. So if you were like reading the guidelines and you don't remember what a token amount is or don't, don't feel like anyways about asking. Right. This is a question asked two later. Silly question. Yes, definitely make sure you're confident when you're doing. Ask all the questions that you need. Thanks, everyone. Have a great rest of your day. Thanks, Odette. Always so insightful. Thank you. Okay. Bye.
