The Livy Method Podcast - Reset, Don’t Restart
Episode Date: August 19, 2026Gina sits down with Livy Community member Megan Mapley for an open conversation about sustainable weight loss, mindset, emotional eating and what it really takes to create lasting change. After losing... 53 pounds, regaining weight when life got busy and finding her way forward again, Megan shares why she stopped chasing the all-or-nothing approach and started building habits she could actually live with. They talk about food noise, social media, movement, body image, GLP-1 weight loss medications and the difference between needing a reset and believing you have to start over. It’s a relatable reminder that weight loss isn’t about perfection or quick fixes. It’s about learning what works for your body, trusting yourself and continuing to make progress through every season of life.Where to Find Megan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/endlessprogressproject/This podcast aligns with Aug 19th of our Summer Club, members can find video in our Livy Method app or Summer Club Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2026 Hosted on Acast.

I'm going to be honest with you, this podcast is unapologetically a hot mess because that is what midlife feels like sometimes.
Why, though?
And how do we make it better?
Do we all just need facelifts and gLP ones?
I mean, let's talk about it.
No bullshit, no wellness wangery here because we're trying to make real change and change is hard.
But we're in this together.
Welcome to the Livy Method podcast.
Totally fangirling over my guest today, Megan Mapley.
Hi, hello, welcome.
Good morning. Good morning, everybody. Thanks for having me.
Okay. I actually just jumped on. I didn't want to chat with Megan behind the scenes because I'm like, I'm seriously fan-girling. I follow you on Instagram. I love your energy. I love your insight. I love all of it, which is why I'm so grateful that you decided say yes to joining us today. How are you doing?
Right now? Like with my...
Yeah, like right now today. How are you feeling? Like, we're working through summer.
summer comes all the bites and bits and things that you want to do and say yes to.
Yeah.
So we're just kind of working through, kind of maintaining, trying to get back down to my lowest low,
but we've had a little bit of regain and that's okay.
But yeah, that's where we're at.
Okay.
So what is your weight story with the living method?
So how much have you lost and when did you start?
So I have lost a total of 53 pounds is my lowest low.
And I started in the fall of 2024.
And fall of 2024, I had lost 40 pounds up until the spring summer program of 2025.
Okay.
And then life happened.
We moved.
I got a new job.
All the things were happening.
So from July 2025 to the end of the year, I gained probably 30 something odd pounds back.
Okay.
And we started fresh at the beginning of this year.
And now we're down to that 53 mark.
Okay.
So I was reading in your bio.
that when you started your, well, one, I was reading how you were talking about how your weight
journey didn't really start when you started to try to lose weight. I want to go back and revisit that,
but when you were considering the Libby method, you were also considering weight loss medication
because it had come out at the time and you chose not to go that route. Yes. So prior to the
2024, fall 2024 start, I had actually tried your program before. Yeah. And I did it and I loosely followed it.
I had a hard time really getting into it and I was getting frustrated.
So I visited my medical doctor and just brought my weight up as a concern because I felt like
I wasn't getting anywhere.
Truthfully, I wasn't putting in the work.
But in my mind at the time, I was like, this, like, something's wrong and I don't seem
to be losing weight and just wrote me a prescription, no problem.
So I had explored that idea and I priced it out.
My insurance didn't cover it at the time.
So I was like, okay, is this something I really want to pursue?
It's going to cost me X amount of dollars.
And then I did some more research of what, like, I can be on it.
How long do I have to be on it?
And I really sat with myself and figured like I'm at the time I was 27 years old.
Yeah.
I don't have any kids.
I don't have any hormone imbalances or like.
I really just need to give myself an honest shot before I results taking a GLP one.
And that's what I did.
Yeah.
But then you, so you lost the way.
I want to, God, there's so much.
I want to talk about because when you say that you couldn't get into it, when you look back now,
because there's a lot of people who feel like that, right, whether they've been, they've done it or they're just getting back at it. It's their summer. They just couldn't get into it.
Looking back now, sort of like, what was the issue there? Like, can you describe how you couldn't get into it? Not just that you weren't doing enough, but why you just couldn't get into it.
I think my mindset wasn't there. I had this mindset where I need to do a program for,
for this in this case 91 days.
I do it for the 91 days.
And then I'm good to go.
I can just like result back to the way I was living before.
Right.
I really don't think it clicked in my mind that in order to get to where I want to be,
my life needed to change.
Like my mindset needed to change.
I needed to be rewire my brain to become the person that aligns with who I want to be
after losing weight.
Yeah.
That's huge though.
Like, you know, if I may, because, you know, I'm an elder now, being 53.
and all. That's quite young to come to that realization and understanding, especially immersed in
such a like a strong diet culture. Yeah. I think I just, I have always struggled with what to eat
and when to eat. And I grew up with parents that worked shift work. And I grew up with a brother who
was very active in the hockey community. So we were always on the go between my parents' work
schedule, between my brother's hockey. And we would just eat at convenience.
a lot, which was that made sense at the time and it didn't harm anybody. But I really think I was
never aware of what to eat and when to eat because I didn't have like a normal, like my mom made
great home-cooked meals all the time with all of the like everything, the fruits, like the protein,
or not the fruits, the veg, the proteins, all that stuff. Yeah, she was great that way. But I think a lot of
the time it was eat when you can and we got to get here, we got to do this, we got to do that. So I think for
me, I realized that I was missing what should I be eating. Because I used to count calories.
Yeah. Was the food I was eating, like, it might have been in my calorie target for the day,
but was it really quality food that I was eating? Mm-hmm. I don't think so. So did you,
what was the switch then? Did you look at, did you look at like, okay, why, why did I gain the weight?
Like, what was that, what was that moment where you realized it wasn't about the calories and it was,
like, it was a lifestyle thing? What was that? I think following your
program and really digging into the why and why do I need why do I want a piece of chocolate right now?
Yeah.
Why do I want the piece of cake?
And why is it when I have one piece of chocolate or one piece of cake can I not stop?
Why do I need to keep going to the point that I feel better?
Like it wasn't like I would just stop.
Okay, I have my piece.
I'm done.
Why?
So then I put two and two together that it was more of an emotional eating and soothing myself
and getting that dopamine hit.
And that was a problem for me.
And I think that was really, like, I really need to dig in and get deeper with why I've gotten to this point in my life that I weigh X amount of weight at the age that I am with.
No, really, no, like, I haven't had kids.
Like, there's got to be a deeper reason as to why I've gained this weight.
Yeah, because what was your highest?
285. 285 pounds.
Did you read other books?
Like, I know the living method's great.
Don't get me wrong.
And we have incredible guests and have amazing conversations.
Did you, like, did you read any books or, you know, do anything else where you helped you with this insight?
No.
Oh.
No.
Oh, okay.
Tell me with this.
No.
I do cover a lot.
I love hearing that.
I love hearing that.
I just, I know people listening are like, okay, what are, what are her tips?
I think since I've tried everything else, like, I, to a degree, like, I've counted the calories.
Yeah.
I've tried the beach body nutrition programs.
I've tried weight watching.
and just listening to your lives and reading your content and listening to your guest experts and
stuff. Like you really start to, like, it's not sustainable. Yeah. And I used to go zero to 100 all the
time and it was not sustained. Like I would lose weight and then I would gain it back. Lose weight and
then gain it back. Okay. So what's, why, why isn't it work? Like, what, like, I just really had to
sit with myself and think about the reason why I keep gaining it back. Okay. So let's talk about that then
because you did the living method, then you gained weight back. So, and then you still, are you taking
weight loss medications today? No. So you're still not because that would have been tempting and the
price is much lower today. So you had lost upwards of 40 pounds and then you life happened and then you
gained that weight back. What was going through your mind? Were you, I mean, obviously you were aware,
what were you thinking? Were you tempted by quick fixes? Like, walk us, walk us through that because
it's we have to normalize this happening right so walk us through that i was definitely tempted by
quick fixes especially when you see all these influencers on instagram and whatnot they're taking
this magic supplement and that seems to like you know they influence you to think that that's
the magic thing to do yeah um but for me the big life changes were um i moved in with my boyfriend
so we were finally living together i changed my career so i was working um a job where i worked 50
hour weeks if I worked within my hours. A lot of the time I worked over my hours. And I commuted up to two
hours a day. So 12 hour days, five days a week, I didn't have a lot of time for looking after myself per se.
So after gaining the weight back and then moving in with my boyfriend and then getting a job that
kind of aligned with what I've always wanted to have work life balance, it was like, I don't know.
I just had a feeling that this was the, I want to really put the effort into myself now before I get married, before I have kids, because if I can get myself together, I can lead by example in the future.
And I will know how to handle life changes as they come.
I guess was my big motivator at the beginning of this year. So, but I really focused, like in 2024, I was working my last job with 50 hours a week and two hours of commuting.
And I didn't do a lot of movement, but I really just.
focused on the food plan. And that was like my focus. And because there's a saying out there,
it's like you lose weight 70% in the kitchen and 30% in the gym. Yeah. So if you, like, in my opinion,
if you, you really need to hone in on the food plan first before anything else, like you really need
to make that second nature. Yeah. Well, the body loves that routine. And sometimes people can't
drink as much water. They can't move as much. Their sleep is crap because they work shift hours.
It was like sometimes you just like don't have a lot of control over the things that you can't do, but you can offset that by focusing on the things that you that you can do.
What do you think is the secret to your success?
This time around?
Yeah, sure.
They're usually going zero to 100.
And I probably could have started the year doing zero to 100.
Like let's do the food plan.
Let's work out five days week.
Let's get my 10,000 steps every single day.
And I just wasn't in a place where I wanted to approach it like that because.
it finally, like I said, it finally clicked that this was like a forever thing. This is something like I'm slowly changing the way that I live my life in order for it to carry past the program with me. So I started by getting back onto the food plan at the beginning of the year. And then I slowly just implemented one walk a day. No time, no time constraints, no steps that I wanted to reach just that effort, especially in the winter in January here in Canada. So I'm starting the snow and go for a five minute walk or whatever.
takes to just get started. Yeah. And that slowly turned into, let's focus on a 10 minute walk or a 15
minute walk at minimum, no steps, no whatever. And then I slowly started focusing on my steps.
And just as the months progressed, I kept adding into my movement routine while following the
food plan. Because at this point, I was pretty good with the food plan. I knew what to do.
So I just slowly implemented walks, then focus on steps, then one resistance training day,
week for a month and then up to two resistance training days and I've just slowly built on that
and really being in tune with my body's needs because I've seen a personal trainer in the past.
I've talked to people at the gym and they say you need to do this.
You need to work out four days, four or five days a week and then do steady state cardio after
and that's going to help you magically lose all your fat.
That just wasn't working for me.
And even during this journey this year, I tried listening to someone that I need to do
steady state cardio after my workouts and I was at a standstill.
I actually was kind of gaining weight back because my body was under stress.
What the fuck is steady state cardio? What is that?
So you're supposed to do your resistance training for 30 to 40 minutes and then get on a treadmill and walk for another 20.
And that's just a lot of stress on your body. So your body's not focusing on releasing fats, focusing on recovering after the work you just put it through.
Yeah. Okay. Well, I mean, you are very active on social media. I follow you on Instagram. I want to get into that in a sec. But there is a lot of noise out there. Something I've been thinking about. I don't want to add to the noise, right?
Like I've been really conscious lately, but what am I putting out there? Is it helpful? Why am I posting this? Why am I posting that? There's a lot of noise out there and there's a lot of context missing. And how do you navigate that? How do you stay social on social media and kind of cut out all of that noise and stay true to what you need to do? I would argue to say the living method works for everybody if you're human and have a body is going to work for you. But that's the foundational part, right? Like people have to figure out the things that they need to, specifically.
specifically work on and work through.
But how do you cut through that noise and stay true to you?
I just really, so I started this Instagram from scratch at the beginning of the year.
This is a different Instagram that I use.
And I was very mindful of who I chose to follow.
And it was supporting people on their journeys.
I do follow a lot of people that take a GLP one.
And that makes it tempting at times when things feel slow.
But you know what?
At the end of the day, I'm following and supporting people on their individual journeys.
and I only follow like influencers that align with what I truly believe in when it comes to weight loss.
Like if someone's trying to push this and push that and you need to do that, it's not my cup of tea.
And I just, I don't associate with it because I'm very strict.
It's easy to get pulled into all of the fads and fun things that are going on for sure.
And I just, I've done this with my personal Instagram too.
If it's not filling my cup and it's not making me feel.
good about myself? Why am I following it? Why do I look at that every single day? Because
social media is a very good platform for comparing yourself and comparing your journey.
And I try really hard to, I sometimes forget to, but when I'm in a low or I'm struggling,
I try to share it to make people feel like they're not alone because we're all struggle.
Like we all struggle through you, you've got highs and lows. We have our periods where we struggle.
And I feel like if I can share, I don't share it for pity. I share it in hopes that someone
else is like, you know what, I've been struggling too, and it's good to feel that I'm not alone.
Because I've heard you say this before.
Weight loss is hard.
A lot of the time, you're the only person doing it.
You go out for dinner with your friends and family, and you're the one ordering a salad.
You're making sure you've got all your components of your meal, and everyone's eating fries.
They're ordering the sugary drinks and whatever floats their boat, that's fine.
But a lot of the time, it's just you by yourself.
So my social media was a very key component to making me not feel alone and hopefully making other people not feel.
alone. Oh, I love that. Tony, if you can just pull up her Instagram handle, it's endless progress
project. I love that you're using it as a tool in your toolbox. Like, you're very intentional
about who you're following, how you are using it, and it's actually working for you,
not against you. This is something I've been working on too because, you know, I'm, you know,
following who I think is inspiring women, but if watching them is making me feel bad,
There might be a message in that there for me, but I don't need to be hit with that.
You know, when I go on there too.
I love that perspective.
I love that perspective.
You are currently doing a reset, not a restart.
Yeah.
So at the beginning of August, we went away to a friend's cottage.
And there was a lack of sleep for sure.
And just like out of routine, like I thought I'd have a little more control over my
eating routine and I didn't.
So I just went with the flow.
I enjoyed myself.
Yeah.
And then the week we got back was my birthday.
And of course, I want to eat the cake and enjoy all the things.
And I was a little loosey-goosey that week.
And I was eating the cookies at work and doing the things that didn't really align with my goals.
But that's okay.
So I was starting to feel frustrated with myself because I knew I was starting to get into that cycle of just eating whatever I wanted whenever I saw it.
Yeah.
And I needed to cut that out.
I needed to restart.
No, I needed to reset.
I needed to reset and not restart because I've already made it this far.
I've already come this far.
I've made this progress.
I've put in the work up until this point.
So I don't need to restart on Monday.
I don't need to go all out.
I just needed to reset my brain and refocus my gears to get to continue on my journey.
Yeah, reset.
I think, again, being intentional about, okay, I recognize that I don't want to continue this behavior.
So I'm going to choose to not continue that behavior.
And life is one big continuation.
But we do love the concept of a fresh start.
But fresh start does have this heavy.
to it of like, oh, I got to do it again as opposed to like, let me just take a minute and reset.
Well, it's going through your mind. You must have food noise when you're, when you are, you know,
you can tell that you're choosing to eat foods and how you feel about it. Can you talk a little
about about food noise that you have and catching yourself in that moment? Like, well, what's your
thought process when you can tell you being more loose on your choices? You know that's not what you
want to do, but you're continuing that. Can you kind of go through that and explain that?
I had really bad food noise. And I still, I still get bad food noise from time to time. I remember when
I first started this in the fall of 2024. I would go over to my boyfriends on the weekends at the time.
And he would be having, we'd be having little snacks and he'd like offer me some chocolate.
And I vividly remember sitting there on the couch crying. So I'm like, no, I'm being good.
I'm not going to eat. Like, I was upset because I felt like I was missing out. And fast forward to like putting
the work in and just really working through that.
I had to really dig in with how I felt when I ate certain things like that.
Like, how does my stomach feel?
Like, do I feel sick when I eat certain things, like very sugary things?
If I eat to a point of stuffing myself, I really had to tune in with how I physically felt.
And that was always a good reminder that, okay, if I eat this, I'm probably not going to feel too
good after.
Yeah.
And that kind of helps bring me back to, okay, if I eat this versus this, what's going to make me
feel better at the end of the day. It kind of helps bring me back to
the present and being more in tune with my goals.
I've also found, like we don't count calories, but lower cal options,
like the little sugar-free jello cups with some whipped cream on top, that kind of curbs
my sweet tooth. And it's only like maybe 40, 50 cal. And it's like,
it does make me feel sick after, but it does do the sweet thing for me.
I'm also like if you go through the health food section at the grocery store, they've got like different health food chocolates like dark chocolate, more whole ingredients they use instead of a bunch of fillers and sugar.
Those are nice to have just one.
And then I'm like, okay, I've had my piece.
So I'm not, I'm approaching it now where I'm not restricting myself.
But instead I'm making better choices and being mindful of how I feel after.
Because if I have one little chocolate or one little jello cup and I don't feel like gross after like physically sick, then I'm like, okay.
I've had my sweet treat and I don't feel the crap after.
And guess what?
The scale is down the next morning.
So that very much, it's trial and air.
You really have to,
because I used to get so in my head.
And like, if I have that chocolate,
the scale's going to be up tomorrow and I've,
you know,
I've just gained that way back.
So it's not worth it.
So as you practice and learn to trust yourself
when you have a little piece of whatever
and you get on the scale the next day and it's down or it's the same
or even if it's up,
but then it comes down the next day,
it's just learning to trust what's going to happen with the scale, I think.
Yeah, well, paying attention to your body, meaning stuff where I love what you said,
which you really paid attention to how your body felt after eating certain foods,
not just physically, but mentally.
And I think when you take the time to do that and then you are faced with eating that thing again,
you're like, oh, okay, I know this doesn't make me feel good, but whatever.
You could choose, okay, I don't care, it's worth it.
But at least you feel like you have control over the choice.
I don't, you know, I don't believe in control or moderation.
but at least you feel like, okay, I made that choice rather than, oh, I have no control and
this is, you know, I'm never going to be able to whatever.
Then you could be like, okay, yeah, I was a bad choice.
Okay, I'm not going to.
Each time you learn how you feel after you make that choice.
So more often than not moving forward, you're not going to make that choice or you're
going to learn.
I love that you have options, right?
Like, yeah, I'm not a fan of counting and weighing and measuring because I don't think it's a
sustainable way to lose weight.
But if someone wants to count how much protein they have or they want to do like,
a low cal snack.
Like I'm, you know, I think that we need to make space for that.
Yes.
You got to find your own way.
Yeah.
And I think it's just working through the fields.
Yeah.
Like I used to get very, like it's almost like a spiral.
And I think that kind of goes hand in hand with Sandra Elliott, Elias, food addiction.
And I used to find myself, like reading, I've read her book and I've listened to her talk and just like going into the cover and what can I eat.
And your mind's just focused on finding something to fill a void in that moment.
Yeah.
And not very much, you kind of just have to sit with that and think about why, like, why?
What's going on?
What's triggering this feeling?
Why do I need the food?
And I think that's really helped with my food noise too.
It's like really just sitting with myself for a minute and not acting on impulse.
Yeah.
Because a lot of the time it's like I just, I just need to feel like I feel anxious.
I feel trapped and I just need to feel better.
and that was a big
180 for me is just learning to sit with it
it's like do I really need it
what can I have instead maybe it's sometimes the
electrolytes too have a little bit of a sweetness
I'll sit there and drink some electrolytes or I'll drink my water
just to kind of let the prime pass and if I still want it
okay what are my own what can I have just to curb it
and sit with it after I have one piece of chocolate
and then we sit with it or maybe go for a walk
is another thing I've done where it's like I just
I feel anxious I go for a walk and I come back and I'm like
I feel better or not.
Well, it's interesting that you say that because I know you know we've had conversations
with Kyle Buchanan and talking about anxiety and feeling anxious.
And it's sort of like what is your technique for managing or getting you through,
whether you're anxious about something else that you're doing or, you know, whatever that is.
So food has been just a big part of our coping mechanisms, our self-soothing or, you know,
and obviously a big part of like, you know, you're probably a hard worker because your parents were like super hard worker
And over time and taking all.
Like you probably learn that from them, right?
And then there are certain things that we feel when we eat foods that are also associated
deeply to our past.
So like really, I really commend you taking the time to be like, okay, this is in order
to make real change.
This is where I got to go.
And that's what I mean about being so young.
Like not that you're young.
You know what I mean?
Like in being younger, it's so great because I can't tell you how many women who I've
spoke to over the years, people.
people over the years who are like, God, I wish I found you when I was in my 20s or, you know,
in my 30s. And it's just, it's so great to hear. So, okay, let's talk about, because I feel like
I could talk to you forever, but let's talk about, let's go back to the weight loss medications
because, you know, you are seeing other people and you follow other people on their journey.
What is going through your mind? It must, right? Because you're on your journey,
you hear them talking about your journey. What is going through your mind and not judgment
wise or what you're doing is better. It's not. It's not. I'm not saying that. But it's hard not to go there. It's
kind of reframing the diet industry. So how are you viewing that? Watching other people take the
GLP ones and talk about it. Like on people that are inspiring you and you're following them and you're
supporting them on your journey. Like it's just it's a new dynamic in the diet industry. And you're over here
losing your weight one way and other people are doing it another way. Kind of what is going through your mind when you
are listening to people talk about weight loss medications.
I support them. I'm cheering them on because I've, we all have our own life paths and what we've
experienced in life that's gotten us to the point where we decide we need to do something
different and everybody needs different tools to get through life. And if if a GLP1 is what people
need to get through, then I'm here cheering them on. And it does play in the back of my mind.
It's like, okay, well, maybe I could explore that option again to get me to where I want to go.
but from my understanding and just listening to the conversations around GLP1 and how good the
living method is with the GLP1, I still have to do the work anyways.
It's not so, like you hear people talk about it.
Like Kelly Sweeney was on with you and it's not just this magic injection that you take
and all of a sudden everything's eating.
No, you're still doing the work.
You're still putting in the effort and changing your mindsets because when the GLP1 stops,
you need to have those tools and what you've learned to carry you past when the medication
stops, if it stops, that sort of thing.
So I just think if what works for other people and what works for me is different, then that's
kudos to everybody working towards their goals.
Well, you just sat here and spoke with us about how, you know, the thoughts and the
feels like you're working through to get you to the place where you are at.
But there's probably people who are following the living method and it's working for them, but they are tempted or it's creating doubt.
Maybe it's because, or maybe if I could take a GLP1, you know, it would help better.
What is your advice to anyone going through that?
Because I think people are taking them, they're considering them, or they're not interested.
The living method existed far before we lost medications were kind of mainstream.
We know it works, but it does create, it's like, I don't know if it's FOMO or like,
doubt in your mind or any advice to anyone who's listening right now?
I think everybody learns differently.
And that's just like for, especially for people that have kids, like your kids learn
differently than other people's kids.
We like your weight loss journey is going to be the same.
Like it's going to be different for everybody.
So stick like, I don't know.
If I could give advice, try.
Like it's hard, it's hard to give advice, right?
because to each their own, I really think for me, like, when I follow the liby method, you talk about
breads, pastas, flour, crackers, like all the processed food that you try and cut out.
For me, I need to cut it out.
Like, I don't have any of that stuff when I follow the livy method.
Yeah.
And even when it comes to the starchy vegetables, like grains and rice and potatoes, I usually don't have those
very much either.
And that's what I find works for me because when I do implement them, I notice it.
I notice it in my body.
And that kind of sometimes affects like insulin resistance and glucose, like how everything gets
stored.
So I would say before automatically following what other people are doing, stick true to yourself
and make sure you exhaust all your options before like, do you need to make some adjustments
to what you're eating?
Like really tune into what you're eating and what are.
Are you actually following the food plan?
Or do you still have bread three times a day?
Or pastas, if you meal prep your meals for five days a week, is it a pasta-based lunch?
Is that kind of like, what if we were to eliminate that?
Really kind of test trial and error before making a big decision, I guess.
I want to ask you, before we go, if you have been working hand in hand with your health care
provider and conversations that you've been having with them.
But I just want to address this comment, Liba.
GLP ones are not a threat to your program.
They can work together, tempted.
There's so much stigma.
This is the whole point of having these conversations.
Like, I'm completely on board with people taking weight loss medications.
We want to have real conversations around the feelings that people have.
And in no way is the living method threatened by weight loss medications or GLP1s.
You must be new.
But this is a place where we have really open conversations about it.
We don't want to be afraid to share what we've learned or other people.
people's experiences, right? And that's what this is all about at the end of the day. Do you feel safe in the
program talking about JLP ones and your thoughts on them and your own weight loss medication,
not your own weight loss journey? Yeah, I don't see. I'm just a big believer that everybody needs
their own tools and if that's what's going to help them in what they're trying to do. It's like,
it's like therapy and talking to a thing. Like if that's what you need to do to get to a point where you can
continue on, then, like, I don't know, all the, like. Yeah. Do you get pressure on social media?
Did people show up and say, oh, you should consider taking a JLP one? No, I've never had that.
Oh, I love that. I love that. Okay. Let's talk to your, let's talk about your doctor. Have you had an
opportunity to connect with your doctor? I have not been back to my doctor. I think I went to see her after I've
lost the first, like, 26 pounds. And she was like, whoa, like, what are you doing? Right. So, but I haven't seen her
Since I've moved, she's about an hour away now, so it's far and few between.
I've gone to a nurse practitioner more local, but other than that, I have not reconnected with her.
What's next for you? What's next for you?
I want to, for the rest of 2026, I'm really going to focus on continuing to lose, like, body fat.
Like, I like to maintain my muscle mass.
So that's why I'm, like, working out and trying to maintain my muscle mass.
So I want to continue losing my body fat.
And for me, there is an aesthetic component to it.
Like, I feel healthy.
I feel great.
I have more energy.
But I would like to see where I can get to aesthetically.
Like if I can continue to lose body fat and maybe have a little muscles that I can see, like,
that's for me at my age and where I'm at in life is I do want to see a little bit of an aesthetic to it.
Yeah.
But I'm going to continue following the living method and then see where we're at at the beginning of next year.
And keep going.
Okay.
Well, come back.
Revisit us.
You can follow Megan.
You must follow.
Megan, endless progress. Project, what caused you to think of that name? I wanted this Instagram to go with me
past this, like right now my season is weight loss, fat loss, but I know that I'm going to be going
through different life stages. I'm going to hopefully get married one day, hopefully have kids,
and my body's going to go through all the things and learning how to be a mom and maybe career
things and just content, like endless progress project, endless progress through life. So that's where
that came from. I love it. I so.
