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. it's way in Wednesday one of my favorite days so yay joining me today you did always want to be a singer I truly always did but I I cannot sing like even when I try to sing I like you know when I try really hard like in the shower to sound good I have not been blessed with have you taken lessons though I don't know that that would help me I'm one of those people you might you really because they teach you how to breathe and where to sing from. I think that should be on your bucket list, Gina. But I would have been like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, like full on, like dancing, singing. A performer.

A performer, not just a singer. I love it. There's still time. You're still young. There is. I saw something today online. It was, it was, it was a doctor that I follow on Instagram and she was saying that she went to medical school. Shoot. What's her name? She went to school really late to medical school late, like in 35.

And she was calling out for people, you know, what have you done later in life that other people thought you were crazy about? And it all turned out well. So there you go. I'm going to find her and I'm going to let you know. You should call her. Well, we should call her. That of course is Odette for those of you listening to our podcast, who is the manager of our maintenance program. And also joining me today as always is Kim, who is the manager of our weight loss program. So, you know, maintenance is more than just worrying about gaining weight back. It's, you know, continuing to work through the things that you need to work on to be able to maintain and sustain your weight. It's also having a different

perspective at life because you have changed. And so these conversations on Wednesday are to make you go, hmm, I never thought about that. Okay. What about this? Just to kind of shake up your perspective in general. It's also an opportunity for those of you who are joining us live for us to get to know you a little bit better and for us, for you to get to know us a little bit better. So we hope that we, you know, cause you to go, Hmm, maybe have an aha moment or at least come hang out and have a good time with us today. So what are we weighing in on today? So today, so this week in the group, we're actually doing a challenge. We're doing a digital detox. So this came from a conversation we had a couple of weeks ago on putting our phone away and how attached are we to our phones and I'm very attached so full transparency

and so I started thinking like we're asking our members to challenge themselves to put their device away you know not all day not going cold turkey but choosing a few times like maybe at meal time maybe it's snack time while prepping maybe within the first 30 minutes of getting up or the last 30 minutes before they close their eyes, just detoxing. But then it got thinking, you know, does the digital detox go beyond the device? And is it, do we need to detox from, you know, some social media accounts or some of the places that we go while we're on our device that might be taking us down a dark rabbit hole? Maybe it's not just the device, but it's what we're looking at when we are on the device. And how does this impact us, our day, our mood, our journey, what we believe, what we don't believe? So what do you guys think?

Do you think a digital detox goes beyond the device? Yes. So I've been trying to, there was a moment where I was getting the best sleeps of my life. And you know what I was doing is I was leaving my phone in my office and not touching it again until the next day. Um, and I'm, I'm trying to do that again. But then like people are messaging me and then I feel like the next day they're like, Oh, I should have gotten back to them. Or I hope they, I, you know what I mean? I hope they understand that I put my phone down after work and, you know, I didn't go back. So now I'm just stressed out

about what everybody else is thinking about the fact that I'm not attached to my phone and responding to everybody. But yeah, I mean, man, everything is on demand these days. You know, it's really interesting. I think about this a lot. I think about, are we a lot smarter now? Because if we don't know the answer to something, we can just Google it.

I can't, when my phone isn't beside my bed, I'm having so many conversations with Tony where in the moment I go to grab it, to Google it, find out more about it, or what's the backstory on this or what's like there. I remember a time when we didn't do that. Like, so I mean, I don't know, like is, I don't know. I don't, this is a very, I mean, I don't know. I, I love what you just said there, you know, maybe change my perspective a little because I was going to say that, you know, sometimes we can follow social media accounts or doing things on social media that are having a really not a healthy impact on us. And it's really impeding how we go about the day or how we think.

But what you said just now about are we smarter because we're able to look things up you know I've been down a rabbit hole of um googling and searching lately a medical condition that has popped up in my family and I feel like it's really empowered me that this has empowered me to now be able to make different decisions or not even decisions but but more educated decisions. So I think that in a way that way, you know, you don't want to detox if it's helping you that way. But if you're looking at a social media account and you're feeling bad about yourself, maybe that's the detox you need, you know, but to keep that, to keep the part of it that is making you feel empowered and strong. And you do both. Yeah. And I like how, Odette,

how you framed the topic of does digital detox go beyond the device? Because I think that's where we're at now. We're using the devices for so much more than just scrolling through social media or searching the internet for things too. Like I use mine for my alarm. I use it for reminders. There's a lot of people that use those calm apps to help them get to sleep at night and things like that. So when you're looking at it, I think it does go beyond the actual device. Like I think about, I have an adult son and he was in the middle of nowhere all weekend hunting and he never texts his mom.

So for me, having the Find My Phone app on there just to be like, okay, he's still moving. That's good. You know, little things like that that we do on our devices that give us peace of mind because we have access to them similar to you being able to investigate, you know, medical things with you, Gina, being able to make sure that you can outsmart Tony in a conversation by looking something up like there's a lot of things that we use it for that are that are helping us I think there are an equal amount of things that can hinder us though and I think that's what for me the detox is is being able to figure out what you need to let go of and what is useful and you can keep. Yeah. I'm going to agree with that because

I think we shouldn't get on ourselves as we're spending a lot of time on it. Like Tony, he loves being on his phone and he's always reading, right? He doesn't read actual books, but he's just always reading. Every time I talk, what do you read? I'm reading this, I'm reading that and whatever. And that brings him a lot of joy, but I do find there is a difference. I think you're going to know if you're, if you're scrolling through social media and you're, you know, it's, if you're having a negative reaction, Oh, I should have done this. I should do that. Or, Oh, look at this person or look at that. Like I quite regularly will, like, if I see a post of someone's that's not bringing me joy, I will unfollow them just because I'm just like, I don a post of someone's that's not bringing me joy I will unfollow them

just because I'm just like I don't I don't want to see that I just not interested and sometimes I feel bad right like I I maybe I like them but I'm not necessarily like the stuff that they're posting recently or I find it triggering um and I will quite frequently unfollow people that just are triggering for me even if they didn't mean anything by it. It's still, I'm just like, I don't need that right now. I don't need to be like, and I know it's my issue. Like I know that if I come across something or someone's posted something and it triggers me or makes me feel a certain way, there's a message in there for me, right? Like that's, there's something that bothers me about that. It's not about what they posted. It's about how I feel. But sometimes I feel like I don't have the time to be

dealing with that shit right now. So I'm just gonna like, everything's a message for you in the universe, no matter how it comes at you. If it's a message meant for me, it'll come back to me on another day, whether I'm on a device or not. And so I'm not trying to avoid the stuff I need to work through, but sometimes it can be a lot. It can just be one thing after the next, after the next. And I don't know that it's all that healthy for us. Well, and I think especially you mentioned at the beginning about worrying about how people feel about you not texting them back or messaging them back or worrying about how they feel about you unfollowing them. And I think that is a big message.

If we are using social media and it's another way to put pressure on ourselves to please other people or, you know, using our devices and adding pressure to us, I'm at times terrible for getting back to. And I think the same way, like, oh, this person gets back to me right away. And I take so long to return text messages and I shouldn't be comparing myself. I don't have the same life as that person. You know, maybe I want to be more thoughtful and put together more of a response. Maybe I have something going on in the moment.

But if we constantly feel like people have to be able to get a hold of us when we have it on us and we have to be open to that and we have to be available for everyone, that puts a different kind of pressure on us as well, which is not healthy. It does, right? Like back in the day, my mom, like, unless I gave her, I did that collect call with the message thing using a pay phone, you know, you made the collect call and you're like, hi mom, I'm mom, I'll be back home, whatever. Like you leave her that message. Like they'd never hear from me. And I also think they probably didn't really worry. They just figured I'd figure it out. You know, um, here's Melanie. I stopped going on social media after nine 30, every night since then I can still text friends and family. It's been amazing. Oh, so there you

go. Just make a no social media commitment, but still have your phone on if your kids need to reach you or, you know, to me, it's very difficult. I, I think if I have my phone there, I'm going to reach for it. I reach for it for one thing. It leads me down to another thing. Sometimes I just, I have to be more of an all or nothing person. And this is where I'm like, if the kids need me, they'll reach out to Tony. Here's Karen. I could definitely use less screen time. We talk about it a lot in our home as I have teenagers and it is a battle to get them to put their phones away. Okay.

What is it about teens? I don't know about you guys where I pay for their fancy fucking phones, but they never answer them. I don't know why. They're always on them and yet never to reply to mom. I can be looking at my kids on their phone and text them from two feet away and not get a reply like they're I don't know they have to have a phone so we can never reach them I don't get it I feel like maybe if I get on TikTok and message them that way I don't know if that's the answer well it's funny you said that, Kim, because I did that.

I started, I downloaded, this is a couple of years ago, Snapchat. And I had to have a tutorial on how to use it. But they're not replying to my texts. I would snap them and they're like, I'd get a reply right away because I don't know. What did you just say? Snapchat them. Yeah, Snapchat them. I think we need to go in their phones and change like where it says mom

to like somebody else's name. Somebody cooler. Something cooler. I hear you. Gosh, well, we could figure out the answer to that. Okay, so I think it's like, I think it's something to think about. I think that it's affecting all of us for a variety of reasons. I think about that pressure constantly being tied

to all these things instantly in your life. Um, I know we talked about this last time, right? Like when people go on vacations, everyone's on their phone. I saw, um, a video that was like, Oh, new year's Eve back in like 1980 and people are laughing and celebrating and then new year's Eve now is like people and people are laughing and celebrating the New Year's Eve now is like people just sitting there with their phones up, you know? But I don't, you can't fight it either. You can't, you can't fight it. It's, it's right. That's, it's there. And I think they're not going away. So I think it's finding that balance and finding that intention and how, how it works for you. Here's Joni. My kids expect me to answer immediately though.

What the F? Yeah, right? Where were you? I called you. Mom. It's like mom, mom, mom. Or the FaceTime. They FaceTime me if I don't message them back right away.

Like that's going to help and be more accessible for me when I'm in a meeting. I'll tell my mom, like, where is she? Like, what is she doing? You have nothing else to do, but be to be here for me. Yep. Okay. I've gotten a text that's like, that says, mom, I'm like, what, what's coming next? Like, are they in trouble? Do they need money? Are they hungry? It just says mom.

Then when they say can i call you then you know okay thumbs up yeah okay yeah um it's great that they can reach out to us when they need us i suppose and ignore us the rest of the time when you need to get a hold of them i don't know if we're doing something right or wrong but at least we're not alone in it. Okay. What's our next topic? What's next? So next topic. So this week, also in the group, this comes from the group we're talking about confidence and consistency. So I heard a quote a long time ago, actually long, long time ago. And the quote was that commitment doesn't come from love,

but love comes from commitment. So it's being super committed to something that helps you become more invested and your love will grow for it, grow for whatever it might be. And then we started talking about confidence and consistency this week in the group. And I started thinking like confidence comes from consistency, but not the other way around. Like, so we're not super confident in ourselves and doing all the things, but because we're doing all of the things or we are, you know, playing up who we are and what we're doing now and being consistent with our habits and routines, that's going to give us the confidence to move forward, to live and finally and forever and to, you know, live the way that we want to be able to live. So I just, do you guys agree? Do you think confidence grows from being consistent? I think when you are consistent, you are appreciating how being consistent is making a difference, which then in turn makes you,

I think it's all based on hope, confidence. Like you are confident in something because you are hopeful that you feel the way you do, hopeful that what you are doing is going to work out. You know, I just think there's a lot of feelings. And when you are consistently doing something, there's a lot of like, whether you're proud consistently doing something, there's a lot of like, whether you're proud, whether you're hopeful, whether you're whatever, there's a lot of feels in that,

that I think lead into confidence is what I think. Or trust. When you, when you trust more, you're more confident in yourself. You're more confident in the process. You're more confident in the choices that you're making. I don't think it's a straight line there.

But I think when you are consistent, there's a lot of things that you are feeling that add up to you feeling confident. Because I don't think confidence is something you just, you're confident. I think there's a pathway there. There's stepping stones to feeling confident, I think. Yeah, I would agree with you. I think it takes time. I think it takes, it gives you, you know, when you are being consistent, it's giving you the opportunity to feel a bit more accomplished. So the hope is being true. Like I'm hoping, I'm hoping I can do that. Well, you know, if you're being consistent, look at you are doing it. That's measurable data, you know, for lack of a better term, like, yeah, I did do this, I can do this. And it's helping you, like you said, take those stepping stones, whether it's hope or, you know, just, you know, believing and trusting that you can do it, that's going to help build that confidence over time.

Yeah, I think looking back at it in retrospect, if you're looking back at something that you've accomplished, or something you've done, or looked back at your journey, seeing where the consistency paid off can give you confidence in other areas because you have that data of, I was consistent, I consistently did this and I achieved this. But I think in the moment when you're still working towards something, I think it can be a little bit, you need to have that hope and that other things in there because when you're not seeing the payoff from it, the confidence isn't there. And sometimes it can take a lot of consistency of something before you get that payoff. Yeah.

Melanie just said that when you are consistent, you can become better at something. Therefore, more confidence ensues. I was talking about this being a weight loss expert. Someone asked me what makes your weight loss expert. I think when you do something long enough, consistently enough, you become an expert in almost anything that you are doing, which then gives you the confidence that you know what you are doing. I think this is a really, when you read it, just consistency comes from confidence comes from consistency. I think taking a minute and being like, what, what, what, what are the fields that being consistent make you feel? I think that's the deeper conversation that makes me go, Oh, wait a minute. Like consistency leads to these

emotions. Consistency is the thing that you are doing, but how is it making you feel when you are consistently doing the things that you need to do? I think that's a really interesting way to look at it. And those emotions can be what does propel you forward, right? Because you like the way that feels. I like that I feel accomplished. I like that I feel empowered. I like the way that feels. You know, I like that I feel accomplished. I like that I feel empowered. I like knowing that I can do these things, you know, that will propel you to keep going and maybe not just in one way, but maybe with different aspects as well. Yeah. Leslie, consistency is also validating to your journey, right?

That does help you keep going. It makes me feel empowered and proud which again makes you keep going it's all tied into when we talk about consistency we don't talk about it at that level i really get into that and how powerful that consistency is because of the way it makes you feel this is what you meant about having those good conversations off the top right is that what you meant yeah this is good conversations off the top, right? Is that what you meant? Yeah, this is it. This is what she was talking about.

Well, you know, there's just so many ways to have these conversations. I think it's about unlocking something or just seeing something from a different perspective. And this may seem like just a casual conversation about random things, but it's never that. It's always just like, that's why I love different perspectives, including the ones being provided by our members who are joining us live. It just is like, okay. And it may seem such a simple thing, but when you really think about it, you're just like, wow, what is this consistency? It reminded me of when Dr. Dina Kara Schaefer last week or a couple of weeks, we're talking about priority. Like I keep rolling out the word, you need to be prioritized yourself, prioritize yourself, be more consistent, be more consistent. What the fuck is that? What does that mean?

What is it? What doesn't mean anything to me? So I think this is like, this is makes it, this makes being consistent have meaning. That makes prioritizing yourself have meaning, you know? And I just be, I'm a big believer that things have to resonate yeah yeah things that make you go yeah all right okay i like that one good so moving on so not really um a topic we're going to weigh in on i mean are, but I just wanted to bring some awareness. So it's the month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Next month is, we'll be focusing a little bit more on men's health because it's November, Movember. But I just wanted to just take a minute this month and

just talk about breast cancer and breast cancer awareness. You know, it's every October rolls around. We've been talking about hope and we see pink everywhere. But we just wanted to take a quick minute and just look at some of the strides that have been made. There was a huge, huge shift across Canada last week that the breast cancer screening has now been reduced in age to 40 from 50. As it should be. So women can now self-refer for mammograms. And I saw the stat online I wanted to bring forward was there has been an upward trend in the incidence of breast cancer, but a decrease in mortality and death. And this is because it's getting caught earlier and it's the treatment options are being available to women earlier. So we wanted to put

that out there. That's in Canada. Also in April of 2024, I just have this written down in the U.S. They've also started recommending screening at 40 from 50. So that has also been put into place. That was in April. So it was April in the US and it was just last week here in Canada. And one thing I wanted to really bring up, we're so, we talk so much about mindfulness and awareness and being in tune to our bodies. And one of the things that is really coming out in breast cancer and breast cancer research is that, you know, there's a lot of idea that it presents as a lump, you know, you're going to find a lump. So oftentimes, it doesn't, it can present

itself in other ways. So, you know, any change in your breast tissue that that might be, you know, just not normal for you, could be a reason to just not, you know, get freaked out, but to check yourself out. So just really being hyper aware and hyper in tune to, you know, any changes that might be happening can be, can be, you know, something that you want to look into too, not just, you know, waiting for that lump to show up. Well, I think this is what I love about the Libby method is that it helps people get truly in tune to their bodies. And it opens your mind to that intuition, right? Being in tune is just trusting your intuition. And when you feel like something is off, chances are something is off.

And this brings me back to my friend Heather, who was a client of mine. She lost 60 pounds, but in a really mindful way, really understanding and being in tune with her body. And she started having pain and was like, something is off here. And, you know, she went to her doctors like, oh, maybe it's this, maybe it's that. And she's like, no, there's something more to it. Anyway, she ended up getting diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. And she at the time lived in a place where they wouldn't have sent her for mammograms because she was in her forties. It wouldn't have been time to really check any of that at the end of the day. You know, she did end up passing away, but she truly believes that if she hadn't been as in tune as she was,

by the time she found out, she wouldn't have had any time with her friends or family or any time to fight it. And, you know, I believe that she lived, I think, four years after she found it out. And I know we have another one of our members, Barry Lynn. I know you guys know Barry Lynn. She's dealing with, I believe, stage four cancer as well. And I just saw the other day she was talking about if she hadn't been as in tune as she was, that she might not have found it and she might not have thought to follow up on it. I mean, obviously those are stories we don't want to hear. And obviously we don't want it to get to that point, but we have been taught to disconnect and ignore our bodies. We don't sleep when we're tired. We don't drink when we're thirsty. We don't eat when we're hungry. We've, we've taught

to ignore our body's cues and the Libby method, you know, I don't want to say the Libby method, you doing the kind of work that you do on the Libby method really is a gift of being, knowing yourself wholeheartedly, physically, mentally. And if you think something is up, you've got to go to your doctor as inconvenient as that can be. If you don't have one, find a walk-in. I know it's a pain in the ass. You sit there for hours. It's not a fun thing to do. And nobody wants to go through any of that.

But I think knowing is empowering. And you know when something's up, right? You know. Yeah. And you're worth that nuisance of sitting there for hours and hours, right? Like it's an inconvenience. You know. Yeah. And you're worth you're worth that that nuisance of sitting there for hours and hours. Right. Like it's it is it's an inconvenience. You know, everything that you can think of anything as an inconvenience, really. Like, of course, sitting in that lobby and maybe there are some sick people around you are an inconvenience. But to come out of there empowered with information and being able to to do something about it or, you know, hopefully not have to do anything about it

because you're fine, but just to have that power and to be in tune and to get yourself there and take care of yourself is, you know, just another thing that, you know, is such an important point to make. The other thing I wanted to talk about too that I didn't know about until the last couple of years is breast density and the impact that that can make on your risk factor. I didn't know anything about that. So, and that's a simple screening that you can also do another way to empower yourself and just knowledge and be in tune and know your body and understanding that there are these different densities and, and. Yeah. So I went and got a test done and I have dense breasts, but I don't have big voluminous breasts. So I think sometimes I'm going to think, well, mine aren't dense because, you know, there's nothing there. That's not necessarily how it is. In fact, my, I just saw my, um,

I just saw my doctor who I just had a mammogram in June. And she's like, I'm going to send you back for another one again, because you do have dense breasts and we want to just check and make sure everything's okay. And I would have thought, how the hell do I have dense? Give me some density over here. I don't, I don't got no dense breasts. But yeah. So you think that's not you and it really is important to know what you are

dealing with, right. Just to having the information. I love what Leslie said here. I truly believe the Living Method is teaching so many women to advocate for themselves and men as well. Men have a real issue going to the doctor. They really do. Advocate for themselves and their health for the first time in their lives. It's enlightening.

I think so many people, when they're feeling overweight, feel like their doctor is going to tell them losing weight is the answer to everything. You don't feel well because you need to lose weight. You don't, you got aches and pains because you need to lose weight. That pain is just because you need to lose weight. And so, you know, I think sometimes people feel like, well, I haven't done my part. I haven't lost the weight yet, or I haven't done what I said I was going to do. So I can't go back to my doctor, you know, and complain about yet again, something else when that's not the case at all. Right. And I love our guest experts. I think they really are

helping to truly empower our members so that they can go have these conversations with their doctors, you know? So, yeah, I just wanted to bring some light to that, that, you know, it is the month and we are in a community of just being so in tune and knowing ourselves so, so well and, you know, it is the month and we are in a community of just being so in tune and knowing ourselves so, so well. And, you know, advocating for ourselves when we go to the doctor, this is just the next level. And, you know, just wanted to bring some light to that. And like I said, we'll talk about the men next month because they do have their own issues.

Yeah. Listen, I think the more we talk about these things, like it's not a fun conversation to have, but I don't know about you. Raise your hand if you know someone who's had breast cancer or someone close to you. Do you know what I mean? Like we can't avoid it. I think we have to have conversations about it. Thanks for the reminder, you know, Karen, to get a mammogram. Yeah. Right. Same thing though as Paps oh my god i when i went to go get one not long ago i i i was just like oh and i was talking about like the scraping and he's like what i didn't so then i showed it to him i'm like look at this thing like it's so archaic like there's nothing fun about this whatsoever you know um that's something we all don't look forward to and we tend to hold off on doing because i when i don't want to do it and I also don't want to know, like, but I do know you do want to know. Yeah, that's true.

I went, um, just since we're putting it all out there anyways, we, um, I have this mole, I have a little mole on my leg that I went to get checked out last year. And my doctor said, oh, you're due for your pop. And I said, no, no, no. I just, I just came from my leg no I just I just came from my leg yeah I just came from my he's like well since you're here I'm like it's all right like you don't you know you need to and you know you should but yeah you gotta just yeah make the jump and get in what's your secret skin what do you want to spill what are you getting done

quiet back there I you know I was thinking about the experience with doctors and getting brushed off for things and that's one thing I remember when um they they told me at my doctor's office that well moving forward you have to ask for one we are not going to tell you you're due you need to ask for one. We are not going to tell you you're due. You need to ask for it and you have to call back and check and see if you need a follow-up. And I was like, I think I need a new doctor because they have taken that one thing that I absolutely hate doing. Give me a dental appointment any day over that. And they've now made it like less easy access because I have to remember and add something else onto my to-do list. And it kind of just felt like it was defeating because I feel like it's not putting

our health first. So the message to put your own health first and advocate for yourself is really important. And that's what was sort of resonating with me while you were talking is you can't leave it up to anyone else to take care of you. Yeah. As uncomfortable as it may be, as triggering as it may be. Yeah. Yeah. I hear you. I hear you. God, what a depressing conversation, but also important conversation. And I don't want to say depressing, maybe feely, feely conversation. It feels heavy, right? Because I think it is. It's really, it's a heavy conversation. Yeah. It's a heavy conversation and you just don't want to have it be reality, but it is reality. So, you know, if we, maybe the more we talk about it, maybe it becomes a little bit less heavy, but yeah, I agree. It is. It's not easy to talk about,

but there's so much, there's so much empowerment that can come from it too. Yeah. I believe so too. And also people are already doing so much, just taking care of their own personal health and wellness. This is just a leveling up. This is adding another layer to it, right? Another layer to that.

What you got coming up this week, Odette? Besides telling everyone to get off their phones and no one will be in Facebook because no one will be here. Odette's just kicked everyone out of the group. Everyone out of the group. We're having a nice week. I need a couple days off. I need a digital detox.

Yeah, I see the break. Everybody put your phone away. So, yeah, that's coming. That's going to be the next three days. I'm really excited to see how people react and how they feel and how mindful they get. So we have a poster coming out on Friday because we have a guest expert joining us next week on Monday to talk all things wellness and fitness this time at this stage and in this part of your journey. So I'm really excited to have him come on. Yeah, that's Andrew, right?

Yeah, his name is Andrew. Yeah, he's got a background in kinesiology. He's a personal trainer, fitness expert. So I'm really excited to have him come on. Yeah. So that's exciting. Nice.

All right. And then, uh, yeah, next week we're going to be just like, um, in the weight loss group, we're going to be talking downsizing,

but different intention, different messaging. But this week we're, yeah, detoxing from our, from our devices and from that social media that brings us down. Yeah.

Detoxing and then downsizing. Yeah. It's great to be awake. She's bringing all the fun to maintenance. Amazing. Well, on that note, thanks as always, ladies. Thanks for everyone who joined us live. Thanks for everyone who, you know, we're reading your comments.

We feel like we all get to hang out and everyone's part of the conversation. So thank you for that. Have a great rest of your day, everyone. And we'll see you next time. Bye. Bye.
