I'm Gina Livy and welcome to the Livy Method podcast. This is where you'll have access to all of the live streams from 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. I don't know. I don't know. It's so funny. Hi. Hi, ladies. I just, I'm dealing with this Facebook thing where I'm, you know how I feel the questions on the iPad. And then it was like, it's weird.

Facebook has done some weird thing with the way you watch stuff. I don't know what's going on. And so I tried to turn it sideways and then it keeps going to this guy. And then I turn it back and I'm like, who is that? Like who is live? Whoever he is, he's going live. Maybe he's trying to join us. Like maybe he's trying to join in on this conversation.

I don't know. And I keep them like, where are we? Why? Where are we? I don't know what's happening. So it's just, I don't even know. Yeah. Like, you know, when you're just done.

Yeah. You're done. You know, you're just done with like, I'm done. Yeah. There's so many changes. Like we try to do. And then we get the questions from the members and you just want to cry because you with like, I'm done. Yeah. There's so many changes. Like we try to do and then we get the questions from the members and you just want to cry because you're like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how to fix it. You know, I think we talk about having

like this magic pill of weight loss. If we could have a magic pill of Facebook glitches, I mean, we would just be, we could all just live our best lives on our, on a desert Island somewhere. I know. And I try not to complain, right? We have no idea why some random guy is showing up on your feed, the production team. Does he want to join the group? Maybe he has some questions he wants to ask on their way. I mean, right. In one sense, Facebook has brought us all together because this is where we have our groups and it's convenient and it's how people find us. So it's not lost on me, but man, it can try my patience sometimes for sure. Always changing things. Very similar to us. We're, I guess we're always changing things and trying to

level up and do our best. Okay. Anyway. Hi, Odette. Hi, Kim. Welcome to Weigh In Wednesday, everyone. This is where we like to share our opinion and weigh in, usually on things related to maintenance, sometimes not. If you are joining us live, feel free to weigh in with us. We have, I've got my eyes on the comments and this mortgage guy at the same time, so I can handle both. We also have her team behind the scenes. So feel free to join in on the conversation. What are we talking about today? So well, okay. So first thing I want to say is our members love yogurt. I have to put that out there. So we talked so I know. So you had a question from a member on Monday on your live, and she was asking about yogurt and what a great brand of yogurt is. So we put it out to the group and our community came together over a hundred

people chimed in and said, this is what, this is the yogurt I love. So, you know, we try and have these deep conversations. We want to meet people where they're at. And this is, you know, it just shows that our community, we're all in the same boat. We all want to come together, support each other and help each other out. You know, whether it's vegan, lactose free, yogurt. Listen, we've got an answer for you. So I just want to say that we have the best community looking out for each other, whatever it might be. I love that.

This week was yogurt. Speaking of being in the same boat. So you may or may not have noticed or heard that we are trying to plan a Livvy Loser cruise. So we posted information in the same boat. So you may or may not have noticed or heard that we are trying to plan a Libby loser cruise. So we posted information in the group. I think Kim said like 500 people already filled out the survey. So we're just trying to get another 105 minutes. Oh my God. So we're just trying to figure out who's going to come. And we're kind of thinking next April, we want to make sure we get the best deals for our losers. We're just trying to figure out who would be interested.

The post is now. How fun would that be? It would be a lot of fun. I can't wait to see it. I'll be there for sure. As fun as our members are in the group, we have a lot of fun with these members that are coming back and forth and talking back and forth, but see them in person and see their personalities, you know,

not just their pictures. Oh my gosh, it would be amazing. Yeah. And there's going to be other opportunities. So we're going to be at the men. I don't know if you guys heard, but we're going to be at the menopause show.

So there's a brand new menopause conference happening in Toronto this year. And we're also going to be at the national women's show both in Toronto, but Kim, you got to keep your eye out for events for us to come to, uh, come to BC, come your way and everywhere. I understand that there is something, some similar to the menopause and the women's one that are held here. So we'll, uh, keep an eye on date and I'll feed information to Sonia as I get it. So we can get involved out here too. Yeah. We'll have to make our way. So, you know, we're, we're coming up with a variety of different ways for us to all get together. So, and then I'm going to see,

we're going to see Kim in a couple of weeks at our big our big staff party that we do every year, which is on a boat as well, which is also on a boat. So just like a mini, mini version of the cruise. Giving us our sea legs, getting us ready. We'll call it a micro cruise. I think it's a three hour tour or something like that. I don't know. Yeah.

Okay. The last three hour tour that went down in history didn't end up so well. We should wait. We should have so well. Not so well. Not so well. We should have a theme. Here's Valerie. I will do all the things on land. I hear you. So we should have a theme.

Why don't we do a dress-up staff party? Who loves dress-up parties? Who loves dressing up? I love dress-up. Not fancy clothes, but I'm talking dress-up, dress-up. Yeah. I had a party a long time ago, maybe five or six dress up, dress up. Yeah. I had a party a long time ago, maybe five or six years ago, and it was right around Halloween.

And it actually wasn't a Halloween party, but I told my sister it was. And she came dressed. It just happened to not be a Halloween party, but it was close enough that I told her that it was in the front door, right into the kitchen. And it was like, I love it. Do you think we have more fun now that we're in maintenance? Do you think people in maintenance have more fun? I know that's not on the question today, but yeah, you know what? I think it's, I think it's a mixed bag. I think it can be a mixed bag. I think those that are, um, are embracing kind of where they're at and are feeling a little bit calmer are having more fun. I think they're enjoying the, the conversations

that we're having in the group because they're not as, not all of them are as heavy, but I think in general, I think they are having a bit more fun because they're not, you know, trying to maximize and be hyper-focused and they're loving a little bit of that flexibility. I think it takes time to get there. But once they dip their toes in and they feel like, oh, look at this, you know, it's, they know us, we know them and they know themselves a little better. So I think they are having a bit more fun. Well, Rhonda's having fun.

Rhonda has been on 30 cruises. Oh my gosh. And I love them all. I've been on three Jody behind the scenes. Jody Jody's been on, would you say Jody seven? Seven. Yeah. I don't know where he is. He's gone to eat the sandwich. He's taking a break. I can see he's not there. Um, 30 cruises. I love cruises. I love, like, I love the shows are great. I love like different destinations. I love, I like just hanging out there's so many great things about okay let's get into um who's this who's valerie i'm definitely starting

to have more fun yeah bocce ball league tonight likely will not have uh signed up before yeah i hear that what who's this yeah i think that in terms of talking about more fun i think you know i think our members and maintenance are putting themselves out there a bit more. They're opening up, opening themselves up to new experiences. Before they would, they worried about like, Oh, I can't do this. Or I'm going to be really bad at this, or I don't have the confidence to be out there. And now they're taking that, you know, they're,

they're taking that challenge or they're taking that on. And I think part of it too is body image, which has been a big topic that's been in the weight loss group recently. We have coming on tomorrow to talk about it, but your body image and how that affects. And I think about how we isolate ourselves when we're not comfortable with ourselves and you don't want to try new things because you already feel sometimes some people, I'm not going to say everyone,

but already think that all eyes are on them. So they don't want to look stupid by trying something new and not being good at it and having sort of another reason to feel like they might be criticized or be under the magnifying glass. And I think once you kind of get to that point where you're comfortable in your skin and you're not thinking about what other people think of you, it kind of opens up some of that. You can take some of that nervous energy and put it towards trying other things versus just protecting yourself. Well, I'm thinking about, I don't know if you guys listened to the conversation that I had with Shannon last night and her favorite place is Disney world and the happiest place on earth. And, you know, it's one thing to fly, to sit in the airplane seat in order to get there, and another to be even allowed to go on the ride.

And there was a situation where they're too big to go on the ride. And there she was in tears in the happiest place on earth. And so I think for a lot of reasons, fear that you won't be able to do it, fear that people will judge you maybe even if you're not really good at it. Or it's almost like that gym thing, right? Like the people who really could benefit from going to the gym are not going to the gym until they're ready to go to the gym, which is insane. And then people are like, well, what are you doing here? Like what, you know, and there's a, there is a lot of that because I used to work in gyms and that was the one thing that was like, you're, they're like, I don't think I should be here. I'm like, you're yes, you should be here. You belong here.

But I totally get that. Okay. Is it, is the show done? Have we missed all of our, the things we're supposed to wait? Yeah, we missed everything. So let's just go buy our cruise tickets. Let's get going. I do want to say, I don't know if you guys can hear, I am in a massive thunder and lightning

storm right now. So if I disappear, it's going to be the Gina and Kim show so I just want to put that out there I know Jodi was having it in his area too but um I am flickering a bit so I'm just want to give you the heads up I know one of our team got a tornado warning on their phone so there's some crazy weather going on yeah oh yeah I know some who was who's watching from their car someone was joining us from the the storm in their car who's that um risa risa's in a car right now it's pouring rain it's coming my way because you are west of me right oh yeah southwest yeah so it's coming my way to be coming your way so just just so you know you guys might have to uh might have to i gotta go i gotta get my swim in before so what i wanted to talk. So talk about these, you know, heavier conversations.

And just what you were saying, like, are these, are members having more fun now and are they putting themselves out there? I think this really plays into the first topic I wanted to talk about. What is it? You know, having, is having a new why easier than accepting your new identity? And we started this conversation back in March. And the reason I wanted to bring it up is, you know, we often say,

you know, what are we doing now in maintenance and what are we working towards? And instead of having, you know, having a why and a goal is important, but maybe it's being able to see ourselves with who we are now and living that way versus trying to accomplish something or, you know, have this goal that we're working towards that we could maybe, you know, give ourselves a bit of slack on sometimes. But if we are this person, if this is our new identity, we are the person that goes to the gym. I am the person that's going to play bocce ball. I am the person that's going to focus on good sleep. You know, so is it, you know, but is it difficult to, to have these I am statements? This is having a new, is having a new why easier than accepting

a new identity? This is really interesting. Cause I saw you talking about this in the maintenance group the other day, and I brought it into the conversation on a live, I think it was yesterday or today. And I was talking about like, who are you like in meeting yourself where you are at now? That means like, that's be that's not just what you've been eating, what you've been doing, what your exercise what's going on in your life. It's like, who are you now, your confidence levels, the energy that you're putting out, like, it's very empowering to know what works for you, what doesn't work for you, your friend circle, I was talking about this this morning, right? Like the friends that you hang around, they say like you, you become like the five people

you hang around most. Like, is that who you are? Like, maybe you feel like I know, and this goes back to like some friends things. So I had some friends and I love them and had a great time. And that, that was like, but they kept like treating me like the old me. They had been my friends for a while through divorce, through getting my car repossessed, not being able to pay my rent through like depression with my kids, like through a lot. And they kept treating me like I was that person who couldn't get her shit together,

who, you know, didn't know what she was doing, dating men. Like, and I kept saying, I'm not that person anymore. Like I've worked really hard to change. I really need you to stop treating, like, I need you to look at me the way I look at me. And so the hardest part for me is I embraced change. I wanted to change, but it was hard for the people around me to accept that. And so that actually led to us not being friends anymore. And I was reflecting on that today. I actually did, like I was reading a post on, I think I posted on my Instagram, is that I was loving changing.

I knew exactly who I was, but it was hard to be the new me because of the people I had in my life. And then as soon as I let that go, I was like, here I am, you know? So I, it's hard to meet yourself where you're, you are at. And I think we have to define, what does that mean? Like who you are now? It's not just like your weight. It's not your weight. You know what I mean? It's not just where you're at in the program. It's like, it's deep, man. It's deep. And I think there's an element too,

where we've been told, you know, not only, you know, love your body at any size, but love who you are, no matter where you are. And people, you might be afraid like, oh, then I'm not honoring who I am. You don't have to be a different person. You don't have to say, I'm leaving this person 100%

behind, but you can still be new. You can still have evolved, you know, and still honoring who you, you know, who you've built up to this point a little bit. You don't have to be a radically different version of yourself. You can just be maybe a better or a different version of yourself. Yeah. I actually just bought a book just yesterday when I was out. It's on Dr. Beverly's list, but it is the, what is it? The courage to be disliked. And it is, I saw it on Dr. Beverly's reading list and it was recommended to me by a friend, but it is,

it is sort of those expectations and how those expectations kind of shape you of other people. Like I've always thought of myself as a people ple how those expectations kind of shape you of other people. Like I've always thought of myself as a people pleaser and it kind of came to my attention in the last couple of weeks that I'm actually not a people pleaser. And I'm like, I always identified as that. And that is not trying to please other people. And when did that happen? And I haven't really been paying attention to it. And I necessarily the most ideal situations. I'm, I'm letting people down. I'm turning down plans and invitations when I always would take it on and exhaust myself. I didn't even realize that I was doing it, that I was re sort of reprioritizing myself and my needs or doing, you know, the same thing with like work or with my family's activities

and stuff like that. And the things I agree to and kind of evolved. And I, I didn't look, and I think it's a good thing that I didn't think about it. Cause I might've been wary to make those changes if I was really concerned about what other people thought of me. Well, I was just going to read this, um, from Karen. I asked myself now, is this getting me closer to the version of me I want to be? So this is bringing me back to the why, right? When I say your why might be, I want to have a vacation coming up and I want to fit into this bikini and I want to look like this.

But is it that though? Or is it how you feel wearing that bikini, running across the beach with your jiggly bits, not giving a fuck, stopping at the taco stand, eating a taco, washing it down with a beer, not thinking anything. And off you go to play a ball of game of beach volleyball. Right. Or, you know, or that, that why can be yes about your weight or where you want to be like but like I think about who do I want to be five years from now I I want to have a billion dollar company I want to have the number one weight loss company in the world okay but what does that Gina look like she ain't schlepping out of bed at nine o'clock every day she ain't down in a bottle of wine because her life is

just like trying to get through the day she you know what I mean? She is up early. She is excited about her day. She is handling stress. It's just like rolling off her shoulders. She is healthy AF. She has got a great relationship with her kids and herself and her husband. She's prioritizing herself. She is making time for herself. I don't know. She's journaling. Maybe she's written three books. She, she's on stage. She's like that person. That is not who I am right now, but that's okay because I still love me. I am happy where I am at.

If my business just stayed the same, I would be content with that. But I also feel like I can go for that. And that's, that's my beacon. That's my guide in light. And the people may not want to have the number one weight loss company in the world. It might be to be able to travel and go It doesn't have to be a thing. It can be like you, that version of you. This is the version of me I'm striving for. So I think it could be both. It could be both. I think it can be both.

And I think your why is a big reason and a big open pathway to get to that version, right? To get there and see that and maybe to help you visualize it. I agree. I think it can be both. I don't know if one is easier than the other, but I think it could be a great combination. I do also think that, oh, sorry, go ahead.

No, no, go ahead. I was gonna say, I think some people, when their why is to fit into that bikini or to get to that size or to get to that goal weight. Some people think that is a door that is going to open to the other stuff that they want to be, to that success, to that confidence, to that happiness in their relationships, that happiness in their life. And I think sometimes when people come to maintenance, they've hit their goal and that hits them that, oh, that wasn't actually what I needed in order to be happy.

I still have some more work to do. Yes, that's because you think fitting into the bikini is going to make me happy, but I can get in that bikini and I can have a great old time with that beach. But if I get back and I'm just like not prioritizing myself and getting asleep and then like my relationships are crap and you know, all of that, that you think that when you reach that number, you're going to be happy. And that might not necessarily be the case. That's deep, Kim. Are you okay, Kim? I think Kim's had a big week this week. I mean, between the book and that statement, I don't know. I mean, I'm doing some work. I'm doing some work. No, I think it's I really want to get into I think every little thing that we think about and like, these discussions that we

have are going to help us with what we offer in both the weight loss group and the maintenance group for our members to find it. So I think it's great that we're having these deep conversations and thinking about these things. And just, I, I love that because I think a lot of other companies, weight loss companies sell that the, the end goal, weight, the goal is the dream. That's a promise of the dream. You will be happy if you are. And I think these honest conversations that it might not be. And I think that's where bringing all of the guest experts that, you know, bring on to the program are really important because they, it's actually working on and working towards the dream, not just the dream. We are selling the road, the pathway, the journey to the tools you need for you to create the life of your dreams. Right. Which, yeah, I mean, you're living your best life is the fact you woke up today. I think that's a difference, but then there is this life that you dream of. And I think if you can dream of, if you can think it and you can see it and

you can believe it, then it's yours. Right. And you may not, I may not have a billion dollar company one day, but maybe I could have a hundred million dollar company, right? Like maybe I won't be the number one, you know, weight loss company in the world, but I'd be okay with number two, even number three. Like I, I think I could, that'd be fine. You know? So I think, but we have these hopes and dreams. It's like, it's our mission to kind of like go in that direction. And whether it's your why or your, your, who you, that person is that's motivating you. I think as long as you're defining it in some way that resonates with you,

that's the key. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I think it's define it, know what it is and understand it. Yeah. I agree. So just talking about, you know, we're not selling the dream here. It kind of plays into our next topic I want to get to. So I don't know. I've been seeing a lot lately on this concept of volume eating. Have you seen that?

Oh, fuck me. I can't even with the whole thing. So you have. OK, you have, okay. So I thought, I was thinking, what is this? How is this, how is this existing? But so of course, rabbit hole, let's deep dive into it. So it's a concept for those that don't know. It's being able to eat exactly as it sounds volumes and volumes of food, but it's only certain foods to keep you full so you're actually never physically I don't even know if unfull is a word I put the word unfull on my notes I'm like it's unfull a word so you're never you never really physically have an empty belly or have an empty tummy because you're you're you can eat all these foods because they don't count necessarily. It's volume eating. So here's the

dream is the dream to be able to eat all the food that you can, but only these types, but you're, but you're never, you know, you're always full. You're always physically full. I don't know. Full is like, I think full is what, what people know. I think I get it for people who don't go through our program. Like I get that, right. Um, better to feel full, not starving and do it on healthy foods, which you can eat more foods. It's sort of, have you ever seen those? I think that meow mix girl, I think I don't know her name. She shows like, this is, you can have 1200 calories, which is, I don't know, like an orange juice and a breakfast sandwich. And I don't know, like a protein bar, or you can have, you know, this, you know, your eggs with this,

and then you're this and like, they show all the healthy foods you could eat for the same amount of calories in this one drink in this small fast food thing, right? Like, to me, it's sort of like volume eating is that like show you that you can have this small little thing of junk food, or you can have all of this amazing food. And this is sort of where the living method in a sense is volume eating, I think, in comparison to what other people have eaten. But this sense of doing it so you can eat so much food, you feel full. Like I'm like, nobody should disagree. am I not passionate about this or what? Nobody should be eating what you describe as a big salad. I don't care if it's salad, like this concept of big salad, like what you are not fueling your body. You are filling your, trying to fill a void.

If you are trying to volume eat to feel full, you are filling a void. You are not feeding or nourishing your body. You are trying to fill some, some void out there or try to not feel starved because the concept of doing it, I've seen this girl, she eats all this food and shovels it in, shovels it in. Oh, look how much food I get i get to eat i'm like first of all who's got time for that second of all you are so disconnected right now from like being in tune to your body's needs it's so fucked up let me tell you i i love what you said there about you know not nourishing because we like it's a it's chronic out there that we're overfed and undernourished. So you can have all of these, you know, these foods from this category of whatever they might be. And but you're not nourishing yourself.

You're not giving your body actually what it needs. I mean, yes, it needs the water from these very hydrating foods. It needs the fiber. It's a lot of vegetables. But what about those other things that your body needs to, you know, those building blocks and those, you become fearful of them like, oh, I can't eat that because it's not on this list of this volume food is not going to physically fill me up. If you know you are going to eat, that's the problem is that, yeah, people are volumeting these certain foods. They're still going to eat the other foods too, to the same

extent of needing to feel full. It's not about what you are eating. It's that need to feel full, which is different from satisfying. That is trying to, here's Rhonda, volume eating certainly doesn't build good habits. That's it, right? It's the promise of eating as much food as you like without gaining weight to the point that, yeah, if you eat those types of foods, you're probably not going to gain weight. Like that's those because your body's not looking to store fat on those foods, but it's not, it's what it's teaching you this need to feed into a fullness and the have your cake and eat it to ness. And just at some point people are going to eat to feel full, but on other foods. So it's not teaching

them anything. It's not teaching them. And it's going back to labeling foods as, as bad or good. I mean, whether you want to see it that way or not, and whether you want to see like points, sorry, foods have value and other foods don't have any value. I think it goes back to that without saying that's what it is, right? Like it's, it is putting these foods into categories again. I'm so irritated by this. I don't know why. Sorry, Kim, go ahead. Feeling full to me is not a comfortable feeling. And if I'm going to get uncomfortable, it's going to be because I did something I enjoyed, right? Like I think when you're, when you talk about that restaurant, you take the kids, your kids too. And they feel like they love that. Like, Oh, he ate so much. Like you take the kids, your kids too. And they feel like they love that.

Like, oh, he ate so much. Like they had the best time and were eating all of their favorite foods to get there. Not like, oh, yay, look, I get to eat an unlimited supply of X foods that I don't even want. It's like you're going to feel uncomfortable. You might as well enjoy the ride to get there. Right? Right. I love these comments.

So Frankie, yep. Odette makes so much sense regarding overfed, undernourished. Karen, like that's on brand with our culture of overconsumption. Rhonda, when you replace these foods with other foods, that's a bigger problem. Risa, WW had something similar with zero points.

Never did that. And of course, so many members couldn't lose and wondered why. Yes, that whole like thing where they'd switched over to be lifestyle and it was like, eat as much as you want. Everyone's like, how are we supposed to lose weight? And it sounds too gimmicky.

That's exactly right. It's that promise of, well, you can eat whatever you want and you'll be able to lose weight. The living method, it's not like you can eat and lose weight, but it's not whatever you want. And I think it's just, it's gimmicky to watch them sit there and eat all of those. There was that girl. What was it that she ate? I remember it was on Tik TOK. Ashley sent it to me. Was it mustard? And she just kept eating sausages and mustard and just kept eating and eating and eating. And all of a sudden everyone was eating sausages and mustard or something. I just, I don't know. It's weird. I don't know why.

It's the exact opposite of getting in tune, right? Like the exact opposite. Yeah. And I mean, we're not even, I mean, we could go, like I said, it's a rabbit hole. I went down a rabbit hole with it and it's, you know, we're not even discussing what that's doing to your, to your gut, like, you know, to your digestion, having all that food in there all the time. Imagine broccoli and Brussels sprouts is like filling up on the Brussels sprouts. Just everybody like in fetal position. I would be under my desk.

I'd be laying down right over there most of the day. I could move a cot in the back. Oh my God. I mean, I love to, I love to talk about things that other people are talking about and this volume meeting is out there and it's, I couldn't believe how popular it was when I started really diving into it. It's another thing, right? I can eat whatever I want and not think.

People want to believe that this is why we, we really suck at selling our program. You might lose, maybe you'll lose weight. Maybe not. Maybe, I don't know. We'll make you talk about your feelings in the meantime. And they, I like, this is what we want. Mary, after a week in Tuscany, no weight gain. Yeah. This program has taught me what to eat and when, but also i did enjoy the wine and the pizza this exactly that that's what we want to get that's what we want to get to yeah i hope she fought she volume eight in in tuscany right yeah that's a place where we can volume me in tuscany

yeah i mean that's a place where like it's just so weird volume Volume eating. The whole, just, I can't. All right. Are we done? Yeah. I love this conversation today. That was fun. Yeah, it was good. I know that we had to start off with a heavy one there with the identity, but let's meet our members where they're at and then let's get into volume eating. Let's get into

these topics that are out there. That was fun. I think it was heavy, the who or the why or who are we now? Like I said, I saw that you post that the other day and that really made me think, even me, it made me stop and think, I know where I want to go and who I want to be, but who am I right now? Really take stock and be proud of what I've accomplished. And that's the thing, whether it's in business or in life, like the who I was to get me to where I am now is the different person than who I need to be to go to the next level.

Right. Like that's, this is where though, it's like, I need to start learning. I need to either do more meditation. I need to, to really dig into the changes I want to make, whether it's like in my routine or in my life, or it's like, if I want to, you know, go out and meet more people, like I got to go out and meet more people or read more books. Like I have a stack of books that I want to read, right? Like it's sort of like, these are the tools that I need to become that person. And I just think, I just thought it made me stop this week. So I love
