I'm Gina Livi and welcome to the Livi 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 relisten 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 is time to take a minute out to hear from our podcast sponsor today, which is another podcast actually, the new wellness podcast from Audible.

It is hosted by Chrissy Teigen. It's called Self-C hosted by Chrissy Teigen. It's called Self-Conscious with Chrissy Teigen, where she's providing a safe space to embrace the twists and turns of personal growth, one conversation at a time. And she has some really great guests that she's having these conversations with, like Mel Robbins, Adam Grant, Gabby Bernstein. These are some of my faves. So she's inviting listeners to learn life-changing new skill sets alongside her and her guests to discover powerful new ways of understanding ourselves. I like that.

That's right up our alley. Self-conscious with Chrissy Teigen, expand your self-awareness, gain valuable insights and become more self-conscious. You can go to audible.ca slash Chrissy, C-H-R-I-S-S-Y podcast or wherever you get your podcast from and start listening today. Do you dance behind the scenes? I can't. This time I was taking notes. Yeah, sometimes I do.

Are we delirious? Because it's week 11 of the program. We're excited. Tweak this week is all about helping you understand the tweak, the rhyme, the reason why we're asking you to do it, what's the importance of it. Personalizing the plan this week is really, it's a few things.

I've been talking about how, again, I know people are probably getting tired of me hearing this, but I just love it. Especially the more we learned from Ruth Kane. And if you didn't catch her conversation, make sure you watch it from Tuesday. What you're doing in weight loss, you are doing to help you get to maintenance. What you are learning and doing in maintenance going to help you live your life. It's always big picture. We are already assuming you've lost your weight. We're already assuming you have been able to maintain your weight. We are already assuming you've lost your weight. We're already assuming you have been able

to maintain your weight. We are trying to help you get the skills and the tools you need to live your life for this truly to be the last diet you ever do. Not a magic pill. We know it is the things that you are learning, the skills that you are acquiring, the things that you are doing and working through

that actually amount to change. So the how much to eat, we're covering in the four mindful eating questions, getting in tune with our hunger levels, when you know you've had enough, right? Like that's why you continue to ask those four mindful questions while you're losing and in maintenance so that you don't have to ask them

when you're done. The what to eat, right? So this is like following the food plan, understanding how you are feeling, the difference between the protein and the fat, separating that, especially with feeding the metabolism, understanding how different foods hit differently, hence that post we had yesterday,

maximizing your personal plan, where we talked about how you're gonna feel if you eat fruit versus how you're gonna feel in the energy you get if you eat nuts and seeds, for example. And then this is really the, like when to eat. Am I actually hungry or am I just eating on it? Am I eating lunch? Cause it's lunchtime, right?

Like am I actually in hungry and need to eat or I'm actually not hungry or I could eat or you should eat. Again, all of this is going to factor into the day where you are just living your life and you can trust when to eat. I'm hungry now. What to eat? I need steak or a salad or some fruit and how much to eat. I know exact the exact moment when I'm satisfied and had enough. So this is all what

this is about. So this tweak is just building on everything that you've learned. This is also the tweak that you're going to use in between groups, right? So just to taste a practice of you kind of being on your own, practicing being in tune. This is also essentially how you're going to eat when you're just living your life, right, but it will be all second nature You won't have to check in at every single meal and snack time, right? You protein will always be a benefit at breakfast It's never a good idea to go longer than four and a half definitely five and a half hours Whether they'd eating like that's really pushing it

It's never a good idea to eat after dinner because it always will mess with your sleep You always want to make sure you're being hydrated. You're giving your body the nutrients it needs. So, so essentially that's the whole idea behind this tweak. I know that's a lot, but here we are. We are. This is exciting this week and this week and all that you just said, I think it's to me, it's the most exciting part of the program because it's the part where you get to test kind of what you've dipped your toe in, what you've learned and test yourself a little bit because you know we that there's a comment from Cindy Lewin here that I just loved that was in the group that I saw and she said this is my fourth program and I would have to say I have gone into these last weeks still following the previous week's plan. Always eating at the prescribed time. This round, no.

I'm going to stop, look and listen. I do like only having one afternoon snack, so it makes even more sense that I pay attention to these answers. So now I'm excited. Right? Like this was that, this got me, she got me hyped up this morning when I read that one from Cindy Lou, because it is, that's exactly what it is. I know people do go like, oh, well, I'll just follow the basic food plan. You know, we had somebody at the beginning of the week

asking, which I know you addressed in one of your lives, just wondering if we can split meals again this week or downsize, like people are going back and thinking like, ooh, what worked for me? What like, oh, what worked for me? What worked for me? What did I like? And that is more you trying to do what we're telling you to do.

And again, at that moment and not listening to yourself. So this comment from Cindy Lou was everything for me that it did take four groups before you got really comfortable with yourself and had that confidence, but just do it, go for it. Trust those questions when you're asking yourself, dig into how you're feeling,

and you'll recognize that some days, you know what? You might split a meal because you take a little break in the middle and you're like, I might be done. And then 15 minutes later, like, oh, actually, I wasn't done. I was just like, just getting started. You know, you might eat a little bit less one day because you're feeling satisfied, but then the next day eat more.

And one day you're going to want a snack and not want a snack the other day. So really trying to fit your life into the box of this regimented food plan is it's not going to be sustainable. It's going to mean that you're going to have to work at eating for the rest of your life if you constantly try to put yourself in that box of a prescribed eating plan and a prescribed eating time. of a prescribed eating plan and a prescribed eating time. Yeah, you are smarter than that. You are better than that. You don't need to count, weigh and measure and you don't have to follow a plan

for the rest of your life to know when to eat, what to eat and how much to eat. I'm so done thinking small. Like I don't give a fuck about people who want a quick fix diet. I don't give a fuck. I wanna help people who are invested in their health and wellness, who want to be healthier, who of course want to lose weight, but they want to do it in a way where they can

literally move on and live their lives where they can enjoy their life and all the yummy bites of bits that come with it. I'm just thinking way bigger. And if you are not capable of thinking bigger yet, that's okay, I got you. I got you. And I think, you know, Kim sent me that where people are like, can I do downsizing again? Cause I didn't even have the heart. I didn't even respond to Kim.

And I was like, I don't have the heart to go there. Like I can't save everybody. And if you don't understand that I want you to be as successful as possible, and you're just trying to do your own thing and go back to what you think worked best for you. I heads up, it's not, it wasn't downsizing. It was the work that you put in before downsizing. It wasn't splitting up the meals and snacks. It's the work that you put into that. It also, you can't replicate that because after you go through the program, your body has changed.

It needs different things. Focus on other things. And if you don't want to embrace the program and trust the program and you just want to go back into what you know or what you liked or what's comfortable, I can't save everybody. I can't spend my time trying to explain time and time and time again while you want to just trust the process. Everyone wants the results of the people who've been successful. A lot of people don't want to do the work that you need to do in order to get there. And when you question the, and I'm all about questioning,

you should question everything in life, but when you question the validity, you want the results that someone else gets by doing the program, but then you question the validity of the things that you need to do to get there. That's so fucked up. Like, there is no way around it. There's no quicker way faster way. Trust me, what what is going to make me successful is people being successful, and not just people losing weight, but people being

able to maintain and sustain your weight. If there was a quicker, faster, better way, I would be the first person to be like, this is how we're doing it. And you know, the program has changed and evolved over the years as we figure out more what people need. But, you know, if you signed up for weight loss program, because you were having a hard time losing weight, and now you're being successful, and now you want to do your own thing, or you think wanna do your own thing,

or you think that there's a better, faster way that I haven't fucking thought of spending my whole entire fucking life doing this, I can't help you, I can't help you. So, but here's what I do wanna be respectful and say, if you are resistant to move forward to embrace the next step, why, why? If you want to go back to maybe what this work with that was easier,

whatever, why are you so resistant to moving forward? Forward is how we make change. So that's the message for you in there. Cause I'm not saying like you're not valid for having those fields. Absolutely you are, but what are those fields about and trying to control what you are, but what are those feels about? And trying to control what you are doing and change the program to fit your needs will never work. And the reason why I'm so stuck on this is I used to have really powerful people, I still do, who I will help and do my program. CEOs of companies, like founders, like sports athletes,

like famous people. And when I was young, I knew what worked and they'd be like, I just wanna to do this again. And I want to do that again. I'm like, Oh, okay. And then it wouldn't work for them. And I'd be stressing and I'm like, I'm trying to how do I tell them how it all works together? And how do I get them to listen to me? And then I was just like, No, listen, you hired me. I'm the expert. I respect you. If you know how to lose

weight, go do it on your own. But don't don't ask me to help you and change what I know. And I have to do what I know works, right? So but this is a big thing that people think about at this point in the program. That's why I want to get across how I'm feeling about it. I also respect the feels that you might have and the thoughts you might have. So they so the answer in that is, why are you resistant to this tweak? What makes you nervous about it? And even the same thing like, have you signed up for the next program? There's so many people who haven't signed up for the next program. Why? Why?

It works, it's amazing, our guests are incredible. Why haven't you, you know, obviously it's financial, I understand. if you have the finances to afford or at least you understand how amazing this is to invest in you and you're just sitting on it waiting to what see how it ends like why haven't you signed up? Why haven't you signed up already like to me? That's your commitment. That's your manifestation. That's you're saying to yourself. I'm

continuing my journey. This is working for me. I think a lot of people are still waiting to like, I'm just going to wait and see. Wait for what? You know, so there's a lot of fields with where we're at in a program. And the work for you is to be like, what are those fields about? They're absolutely valid no matter what your thoughts or feels.

But what is that about? So a lot of people are really resistant. They just want to do what's easy, what's routine, what they know. feels about, they're absolutely valid, no matter what your thoughts or feels about. What is that about? So a lot of people are really resistant. They just wanna do what's easy, what's routine, what they know. And you think you know that the basic food plan works for you, but you haven't seen nothing yet. It all just gets better.

It gets better. There's a great comment from Shannon in here from today. I had to let go of what I thought would work, just do the work. Yeah. Exactly, Shannon. Exactly. I'm gonna write that down.

Someone write that down and send that to me. I'll take a screenshot, I have it on my phone. Take a screenshot and send that to me. Yeah, we'll do it. Say that again. Say that again. I had to let go of what I thought would work, just do the work.

Yeah, and so I, yeah. And that's it because it's interesting because you are all experts in your own body, in your own mind, right? And this is what we're trying to give you the tools and the skills that you need to understand yourself best and make the changes that you need to make. I am a weight loss expert because I've spent my entire life

trying to help people lose weight, figuring out what works best. Like that's been my job. I'm not an accountant. I'm not a teacher. I'm not a whatever. This is what I do. And I think sometimes, especially as women, we think because we've spent so much of our lives dieting, we are experts or we should know. But if you haven't been sitting around studying the science in a way that I have, not just offering my living method, if you haven't lived and breathed it and a lot has changed, you are an expert in your own

body, but you you're not an expert in weight loss, otherwise you probably never would have signed up in the program. So there has to be a bit of trust there, but it's so hard to trust it because of our history of diets. It's like it's so hard So, you know, this is a little bit of like this is why I'm a big fan of ask the questions And this is why I love this tweak this week ask the questions because I'm the kind of person Who I have to ask a million questions until I get it and then once I get it, I'm good I'm like, okay, I'm good, But and it's not that I'm questioning the process. I have questions about the process. And if I can have a deeper level of understanding about what the fuck I'm doing here and why I'm usually a slow starter. And then I'm like, once I know what's going on, I'm like, okay, I'm solid. I'm good. So that's that's how I function.

And so that's why I'm always like, ask the questions, make sure you're super clear. That's why I always want to come from that place. Yeah, I think that's the, I mean, that is the program as a whole. You are the expert and have prepared this program for us of what everyone needs to follow. Each of our members is an expert in themselves and brings that information to the table.

And what our team is here for is to help you connect the dots for that. So, you know, our team doesn't know anything different because you have this medical condition. We can't advise on that, but what we can do is take the pieces of the program that you're not sure how they fit in with you, and we can help you make that connection.

And that's why the questions and answering the questions is so important. And that's why the questions and answering the questions is so important. And that's why we have this amazing team that is in the groups at all times answering the questions. And even AI is catching on a little bit in the app to that. Spoiler alert, it's actually our team that teaches the AI how to answer the questions. So you're not getting a random computer.

We actually have people that are being paid to train AI so that it can help us answer the questions for those people that are more comfortable in the app. So you're still working with our team essentially when you're in there, but that's they're there to kind of connect to help you connect the dots between Gina's expertise and your expertise about yourself. So make sure you take advantage of that. We've got this whole staff of people here for the next couple of weeks, and there's only two weeks in between the groups for you to kind of test yourself on doing this on your own. But you've got this week and next week to get in all of those questions, anything you're thinking about.

So if you really dive into personalizing the food plan this week and next week, every single question, even, you know, no matter how big or small is going to pop up in your head as you're doing it, jump in the group or the app and ask it. So you're really clear. And then that way you're gonna feel super confident going into that space between groups. So we do have a few questions.

If you do want to- It's not enough time. Yeah, well, let's get into questions. It's not enough time to fuck it up. That's what I wanna say. I also just wanna say if you do, it's not enough time. Yeah, well, it's gonna be questions. It's not enough time to fuck it up. That's what I want to say. I also just want to say, you know, this is the conversation with at this point in the program, right? This this is the conversation if you can just if you can just think what you've accomplished in this program. And if you're a

new member, or you know, returning member, they just think just this program, what you've accomplished, what you've done, what you've been through, what's been happening in your life. And then just think like next group, you're not starting again, you're building on that. You're building on everything that you've learned. And you may think, oh, we just have the same conversations with guest experts. We've never had the same conversation twice. It always is elevated.

So you're coming and you're doing the next program from this elevated place, right, where you just keep leveling up and leveling up and leveling up. I just think it's really exciting if we just stop and take a minute of like what you've accomplished over a pretty short period of time. These last few months. Still listening to this, being committed, showing up for the lives, like all of that. It's like, it's like pretty amazing. It's, it's pretty incredible. Okay. Now let's go to your questions. What are your questions? So, well, the questions that we have received from members so far around personalizing the food plan

is really essentially just the details. Um, there's, you know, some general comments people are feeling. Linda was feeling really nervous on Monday, but I feel like she's feeling a little better today based on how the comments in the group are as far as not knowing, not trusting yourself about what to eat and what to choose. But the real main questions that we're getting are sort of around the details.

The star of the show, what's the star of the meal when it comes to personalizing the plan? They're used to going from first, we had veggies at lunch and protein at dinner being the star of the meal when it comes to personalizing the plan? They're used to going from first we had veggies at lunch and protein at dinner being the star, then for the food plan revamp, we switched those around. What do we do when we're personalizing the plan? Yeah. So, this is where it changes and evolves and people get stuck on what we did before. I had someone ask like, what is it?

I'm confused about the timing. Is it three and a half hours, four and a half hours? So yeah, in the beginning, ideally, you don't want any longer than three and a half hours to go by. So half hour to three and a half hours. Now with where we're at, as your body is more efficient at breaking down and getting the nutrients from its foods, you want to push that a little bit more. And now you have a little bit more wiggle room. So now it's like a half hour to four, four and a half hours, but I wouldn't push it any longer than five. I definitely wouldn't make a habit of letting five hours go without eating. Like that is just like the, not the end of the world if you go to five, but you're really pushing that. So now we've extended

that to four, four and a half hours, right? So it's not black and white. It's not black and white. So same thing with the with the star of people. There's a couple of things I know. People wanted to talk about the star of the meal and then what does the infographic look like? The problem is the infographic changes depending on what you're feeling that day. One day you might be like, oh, you're feeling more protein.

The next day you're feeling more vegetables. And so this is about your body. You are not a machine, you are not a robot. And so this is about your body. You are not a machine. You are not a robot. And this is why, one of the reasons why counting and weighing and measuring or following a certain calorie diet doesn't work because some days as people experience, even in downsizing, they had days where they weren't even hungry. How do I downsize when I'm not even hungry?

And so this is allows you to get in tune with your body's needs and every day is going to look different. So there was a rhyme and a reason by, you know, having the vegetables as your, you know, your heavier carbs coming off the program, you know, and resetting or being new to the program. Adding in those extra carbs definitely super beneficial at lunchtime. That's where they should be there, especially if you're adding the rices and quinoas

and whatever, and then protein really feeding in and making you feel more satisfied in the evening, right? And then of course we switch that up. So now there is no longer a star of the meal. And this is where you make your meal with those components and then eat instinctually. Are you more interested in the protein that day? One day you might leave protein on your plate, the next day you're leaving the vegetables

on your plate. This is where we're opening it up to you being in tune to what is most appealing for you. If you use the components of vegetables, proteins, leafy greens, healthy fats, even adding in those heavier carbs, what your body needs is what's going to be most appealing. And so then you just will instinctually eat your food based on what your body needs. And this is where people don't trust. They're like, oh, I'm just going to eat donuts all day. No, first of all, donuts aren't on the program.

And two, guaranteed, if you ask your brain, like your brain might see a donut and be like, I want a donut. If you ask your belly, if it wants a donut every time, it'll be no. Oh hell no, I don't want it. Anything, anything that you can think of that's not, you know, whole foods, whatever in your, it's your brain that wants it. Your body never wants it, right? So, so no longer a star of the meal, this portion size continues to be what they look like and not about what they feel like. So this is why this is not eat whatever you want, whenever you want.

This is digging deeper and level up even more to get even more in tune with that. Did I answer that question? I don't even know. Let's take a minute out to hear from our podcast sponsor today. I mean, listen, we're always talking about how important it is to take care of your skin. Your skin is your

body's largest organ. We also talk about the importance of creating routines, especially a nighttime routine that can help us sleep. But this one here is for the new moms because Aveeno has a product for newborn babies. Skin is the first line of defense and baby skin is about 30% thinner than our mature skin, making it even more important to take action to help strengthen skin moisture barrier. So using the power of oats as the hero ingredient, Avino Baby harnesses the power of oat to help achieve skin hydration. So if you're looking to learn more about how you can maintain and strengthen your baby skincare,

head over to the website, avino.ca that's A-V-E-E-N-O.CA. Yes, I did my next one too. So that's great. But I did want to touch on that with the just, you know, going back to the person that wants to do the other things and why we do the tweaks the whole way coming up. And it all feeds into that knowing what to eat and when. You know, when we were doing feeding the metabolism and separating the protein, that taught you how it feels

when you eat that protein separately and how your body reacts. When you switch the snacks, that taught you how you feel. What you wanna do is you wanna take all those things, you know, all those things, even downsizing, you were eating certain portions at the beginning of the program, and no doubt that a lot of you have had changes

to your portions throughout. What the downsizing did, it wasn't cutting the portions and purposely trying to decrease them, it was teaching you how it felt when you did have less and leave yourself unsatisfied. You've been teaching yourself all of these things along the way and you've been learning how your body reacts. This is what you wanna think about

when you are making those meals and snacks and putting everything together for now. You wanna think, how are the veggies gonna make me feel? How is the protein going to make me feel? How does it feel when I go longer between meals and snacks? When I, how did it feel when I cut down to one snack in the afternoon and I stretched it out? Actually, it wasn't bad.

I was scared at first, but it wasn't bad. So now you know, like if I don't eat because I'm not hungry and I know lunch is gonna be within that four hour timeframe, I'm gonna survive. I know that because when I cut down to one snack in the afternoon last week, I survived. And it's taking all of that. And it's the same thing with, you know,

we've had some questions about, do I have to have fruit in my snacks? Do I have to have veggies in the snacks? Don't lose sight of why we put those things in in the first place in the food plan. That's your takeaway. Not that you have to have fruit or you have to have vegetables,

but the reason you were having the fruit, the reason you were having the vegetables, does that apply to today? Am I feeling low energy? What do I have going on? Am I feeling like I've got a dip going on right now? Oh, I'm tired this afternoon. Maybe I should have a handful of nuts because I know every time I had that nut snack, I felt perked up in the afternoon afterwards. These are the takeaways from the rest of the weeks that you want to kind of apply when you're asking yourself all of the questions this week as we're personalizing the food plan. Yeah, I love that. You have to also allow yourself to be hungry. You don't want to purposely make yourself hungry, but you want to, how are you

going to be able to trust when to eat if you're just never hungry? Cause you're just constantly eating all the time. That's really great when we're doing the program and the tweaks. And that's obviously super effective for weight loss. This tweak is also really effective for weight loss. Like I just want to point that out. Um, we are expecting you still want to get and keep the scale moving. And this is like the high tweak of the program. It's again, the systematic nature that really revs up the metabolism and helps your body get into it and make change, which is why when you do it again, it's from a whole other level.

But you have to allow yourself to get hungry to understand hunger. To your point, downsizing less about eating less, it brought up the feels, you know, issues brought up the fields, issues and associates didn't tied into diet, food waste issues, food scarcity. It also got you understanding hunger because hunger can be a trigger, hunger can be a coping, hunger can be a craving,

hunger can just be your body checking in at you and saying, oh, hey, I see you're awake still, you know, at 12 o'clock at night doesn't mean that you need to eat. So in order to, and same thing with like portion sizes, you have to know what unsatisfied feels like, to know what satisfies feel like, to know what enough feels like. A lot of people's concept of satisfaction

was originally full, right? And so if you don't know the difference, same thing, how do you know if you're truly hungry unless you know the opposite of not being hungry or how do you gauge your hunger in between? And so so many people I think are afraid of being hungry. Oh my God, if I don't eat my lunch, God forbid, I'm gonna be starving, my body's gonna store fat.

No, if you're not actually hungry in the moment for your lunch, you don't need it. And so yeah, if you don't eat lunch and you had your snack at 11, you check in at 12 and you don't need lunch, sure. By one o'clock, maybe two o'clock, you start to get hungry. And then you're like, okay, so I'm hungry now, what should I should have?

So have a snack, it's got some protein, fat in it, you can have some veggies, whatever you boiled egg, whatever you want that to be from that snack list, maybe it's fruit, yogurt, you know, and then go on and have dinner. And so it's about allowing yourself to also feel hungry as well. I saw people are back into afraid to eat fruit. I saw that. Well, I'm afraid to eat fruit. Oh my God, this is like remnants of diet, old diet mentality. I'm afraid to have a fruit. What? Especially as the days get longer

and the temperature rises, you're gonna want to start increase your fruit intake, minimizing your heavier carb intake because in the summertime, like in the winter time, your body works really hard. That's why it's trying to keep you warm. You crave heavier, heartier foods, fatty meats, soups, stews, warm stuff.

In the spring and summer, your body, when it's a heat wave, it does not wanna work hard. And so it's like, give me something quick that I can keep my energy up, and it's gonna want fruits. You're gonna have a lot of sugar cravings. It doesn't want sugar, it wants fruit. So this is where you're bumping up your fruit intake in lieu of those heavier carbs, the

potatoes, those grains, those things like your body's not interested in those, right? So you can't be afraid of fruit, you can't, you can't maintain and sustain your weight by being afraid of food in general. So that that's not like, this is also things that you need to work through that. But if you're having those thoughts, that's do you're still dealing with diet mentality. And that's need to work through with that. But if you're having those thoughts, that's still, you're still dealing with diet mentality. And that's what this week gives you that flexibility

to kind of play around with that a little bit. I just want to talk about someone. Someone talked about who here has not used the app yet. And someone's like, I've not used the app because I bought the book, hence didn't want to input twice. So you are so missing out if you're not using the app. Like there is something to be journaling and I love journaling and getting that out.

The app actually gives you data. So you can see your, if you, for example, if you're tracking your weight in the app, it will actually show you the graph and then you can see the ups and the downs. Like you can actually track that. It also tracks everything that you're collecting that day and shows you, there's like a little you there's like a little there's like a

circle that tells you where you're at in your day and and how consistent you are being. Plus it links all of the posts. It has all the guest experts there the recipes there the all of the information is there plus our Libby AI is like you can get a response within seconds, literally seconds. If you have a question, it will answer you within seconds. So I got my pen and paper girl, but just having the book and then just even the journal, the app is like a game changer. It's like, honestly, you're really missing out if you're not using the app. So I challenge you if you haven't been using the app for whatever reason, it's set up so easy to use, we have a great customer service team, like to each his own, obviously, I'm not trying to stress

anybody out. But it does. So it's not a tracker. The app is not a tracker. The app guides you through the program, where week to week to week what your inputting changes, it's got all of the posts, it's got all of the guest experts. Like it doesn't just track, it guides you through the whole entire program. I think a lot of people don't realize that, they just think, oh, it's a tracker.

It's not, like that's the least it is. The least thing it is. Yeah, I like to think of it as my program companion. And it's like my, I'm gonna make a full confession. Please don't tell Tony and the app team, but this is actually the first program that I have literally tracked everything every single day in the app without dropping off and not filling it out.

But honestly, it feels so good. I normally bump up through, like I make it a certain amount and then I have to jump ahead because I'm like, oh man, I've missed this many days and I need to, but I actually use it obviously for work too, because I need to see what, you know, make sure everything is lined up in there properly. And I feel like it has, I'm glad that I didn't do it

for a long time to learn how important it is now that I am doing it because I do know there's a lot of members that don't do it. I think I have done it it for a long time to learn how important it is now that I am doing it because I do know there's a lot of members that don't do it. I think I have done it for quite a while before but never every single day, every single weight, every single day. But like you can edit your journal, I don't know if anybody can see, you can toggle off. If you don't want to track your mood, if you don't want to track your body movement or your sleep, you can toggle those off. You don't have to do all of the things in there, but it is so amazing to have those reminders. I probably most of the time don't want to know what my sleep is. But when I go in there and when I look at my sleep and I click on my little sleep graph that I have,

it's pretty good this week. When I look at the program program I can see how inconsistent, how consistently inconsistent my sleep is. And it gives me a lot of insight. I can take that and we had a member do this a couple groups ago and it was so helpful. They took a screenshot of their sleep. They took a screenshot of their water throughout the program, and they took a screenshot of their weight throughout the program, and they lined them all up together.

And to see those peaks and valleys lined up with their water intake and with their sleep was amazing to see. And that was sort of the outcome from them as they learned so much is like, wow wow I really realized how not getting sleep impacted when I saw how my weight shot up when my sleep was shooting down. Right? With their water and it's that's where I feel like I've you know I've had like half a program that I've gone up to, and then I've sort of dropped off and tracking my weight at least I think, but having the whole picture of the whole program,

it's pretty spectacular to see it at the end of the group and how much you can learn even if you, you know, don't see a lot of movement on the scale, the other things that you can line up when you look. So I just, I think everybody should be using the app. I have like, I always have loved it, but with actually keeping track of every single thing, every single day, when it comes to like movement, my moods, everything, it's been a game changer for me because you can literally see it in

front of you at the end of the program. So, yeah, it's not an easy thing to do. But being consistent and in using the app, you'll be more successful hands down. It's just like there's no way around it, you're going to be more successful. You keep it more in the forefront of your mind, you're more likely to continue to do the things that you were aware of. Like it's not an easy thing. It's like goes back to, you know, if someone came in and cleaned your house, you have to

you know, come in, put your shoes away in order to upkeep it. You have to keep doing your dishes when you don't want to. You have to, you know, make your bed when you get up in the morning. If you want to keep it clean like that, you have to keep with up with the up upkeep. The only way you keep your place clean is if you upkeep. You can't fall back into old habits, you know, putting your shoes wherever throwing your socks wherever, let your laundry pile up, not doing your dishes. like if that's a good visual for you. We got to go. Someone said, Hi Ashley, tips for truly going into the next program with fresh eyes. I suffer with this all the time. So here's the thing. It's about you accepting that you've made change and that you

accepting that you are going in fresh and whether that's reading the post because people just I don't need these posts I've already seen it but not from where you're at now not from what you know now right and that's different people just assume oh I know what to do don't assume you know what to do because you're bringing a whole new body and you don't know how it's going to react you have to give your body the credit that it deserves for the changes that it that it's made. You have to give your mind credit for the changes that it's made. You can't go in thinking you know, or like you have the advantage because you do know, right? You have the advantage because you know what you know, you know the basic food plan, you understand the tweaks. So you can dig deeper and level up more. But if you go in assuming you

know it all, you're already doing everything. To me, like I go into every program with a fresh mind. I don't assume, oh, it's the same old people. They already know it. So I can just half ass it and barely show up. I don't do that. I show up at the same enthusiasm, the same energy, the same whatever, because one, I'm not taking it for granted, and two, there's always something to learn, and three, I'm always trying to level up. I come from a what more can I do? How differently can I do it? Where am I at today? What do I need? And if you followed me, there's been an evolution. And you know, people joke, I used to do my first programs with a towel on my head,

coming out of the shower, potty mouth like crazy, totally a hot fucking mess. And so you may miss that, but do you wanna know why I don't do that anymore? Because I have gotten my shit somewhat together. I have changed and evolved as a person. I was a hot fucking mess in those early days. Like I'm talking disaster.

I was probably finished drinking a whole bottle of wine. I was probably depressed. I probably didn't know where I was half the time. And you know, that may seem like, oh, we miss Gina. Gina has evolved. Gina has changed. Gina has learned. Am I where I want to be? Not even fucking close, not even fucking close.

So I don't show up, been there, done that, know it all. Uh-uh, show up, I'm here again, let's go bitches. Let's get this done. What more can I learn? What more can I do? Open to changing, open to evolving, all of that. That's the kind of fucking energy you wanna show up with yourself.

Every, and not just every day, every time. Get excited. Get excited about what you've done. Get excited about what you want to do and show up for yourself in that way. Now, obviously there are still days where you drink a bottle of wine, you eat the chips. This is not about being, and none of it was perfect. It's just the energy that you are showing up for with yourself in your life. You could say thing, fuck, it's January again, fuck, it's Monday again, fuck, here we go again, right.

And the living method is no different. It's like and you are out to make change be be in the moment and meet yourself where you're at. What do you need? Call yourself out girl, if you're not doing the things that you know you need to do, why? Don't just say, why am I doing that? Literally, why? What is my deal? What is, go to the places that you don't want to go, right?

Dr. Paul says that all the time. If you're thinking of something and it feels uncomfortable, probably where you need to go. You are blaming something or someone else, probably, you know That's where you need to go like what it's not about the that it's not about them. It's in here. What is it about them? What is it about that? It's in here. Why is Gina saying do this? Why don't I trust that? Why do I want to go back here? That's familiar. That's safe. Why don't I want to go here? Why don't I want to do what she says?

What's my deal with that? What am I, why am I resistant to that? You know, something that our guest says piss you off. Why does that piss me off? My guests aren't here to try to piss you off. My guests want you to be successful. What is it about what they said that's really irritating me? That's the message for me. This is why, and I know I'm over time, this is why I want you to fill out the survey and I don't just want you to tell time. This is why I want you to fill out the survey. And I don't just want you to tell me what you love. I want you to tell me like what you didn't like. I want, I, when Tony first came up with these surveys, I'm like, I don't

want to hear that. The surveys have made this program better. The surveys have made me better at doing my job. I want to serve you. I want you to be successful. It's not the, oh, your program's amazing. And I love it. That is not you to be successful. It's not the, oh, your program's amazing and I love it. That is not what helped me grow. That is not what helps me create a program that helps more and more people. It's the things sometimes that I don't want to hear. Like there is a certain level of judgment

and there's a time and a place for it. I won't put up with that shit during the program. I'm too busy helping people lose weight. And I think there's a nice way to tell people something. But it's the uncomfortableness. That's where we grow. That's where we learn. That's where we grow. That's where we you know, take a hard look at ourselves. And it's something doesn't bother me and says, Gina, you talk too fast. You use your hands too much. I

don't fucking care. Fuck you. I don't fucking care. Right. So moving along, I'm not going to think about that again, for the rest of the day, I am who I am. It is what it is. I can't sit up here and think about my hands. Like I'll just, I won't know what I'm saying if I'm worried about my hands to this. Right? Like so, you know, like you get what you get, right? You don't get upset. You figure out how to make it work for yourself. You do the best you possibly can and off you go. Was that helpful? I think so. Yeah, I think going into every single program, assuming every single day of the 91 days is going to hit you differently than it did the last time you went through the program. And I feel like I feel like I'm in a position where I can actually say that because I'm the program manager. Like I help like write the shit that's in the group sometimes. Like I know this program.

If anybody's going to say, I know it all. I don't have to read the post. It's me. And I don't come in and I know that every single time I do the program, every single day, something's going to hit differently. Some reminder is going to hit me differently. Like my just revelation about the app and how important is how many times have I told everybody else do it. It's

important. Like you actually have to live it and do it. Just like you said, you're not saying every Monday like, Oh, I guess this Monday is going to be exactly the same as last Monday. It's not going to be. And this day one and this day 80 of the program is not going to be exactly the same as the last day 80 of the program that you did. You're learning so much about yourself along the way, but your life is also changing. Life is throwing you different things at different times. You might get a challenge that comes up to you on a different day and that day is going to hit so different. That guest expert is going to be speaking right to your soul or Gina's going

to say something on the live that is going to be that one thing that is your aha moment that turns your life around. So come into it with that energy when you go into the next program. Yeah, we got to go. I do want to say thank you, Kim. I could have just said that, but I didn't. I went off in a rage instead because that's who I am. Ashley, I just want to say to you, I saw your recent and I know that you've been struggling this group a little bit more than others, but I hope you can see

like whatever you have been through, whatever you've done this program, it is, you did it perfectly. You did it perfectly. You are exactly where you're at. I think your body needed a break. You can tell by how much, cause I follow her on Instagram. You can tell how much your body has changed. It just, it needed a break. You can tell by how much because I follow her on Instagram. You can tell how much your body has changed. It just it needed a minute and maybe you mentally

wanted to be go go go get her done get it done. You can tell your body it was like whoa Nellie like you just need to calm your tits chill out and like chill leave me alone right now. Just let me do my thing. And you can tell your body is just like, you are the epitome of healthy weight loss and your body just needing a minute. So sometimes we think that we're struggling and why can't I do more and why can't I whatever, when your body is like, can you just give me a minute? And you can, I don't know what's going on in your life,

but I can tell you when I saw your progress photo and putting two and two together, how you kind of struggled for lack of a better word. And it's not the right word this time. I'm like, wow, I hope she can appreciate. Like your body is still working hard, even though you feel you could have done more or you could have seen more on the scale maybe.

Like whatever you did, you did brilliantly. And I hope you're really happy with that. So I don't think you need to be concerned about going into the next program, because I just think you're organically going to show up, you're going to bring the goods, you're going to know what that you need. I think you just need to trust that. And I think because of what you did or didn't do on this program, you might be thinking, Oh, my God, I really got to get my

shit together. I got to do this differently. Or or I got a whatever now you are a rock star You just got to keep on keeping on because whatever you're doing like it's you're doing it perfectly I do I do got to say that okay. We got to go because we can't stay on here all day. No Thank you. This is now I'm reading. I'm reading We got to go you guys we got to go Thank you. This is great. Now I'm reading comments. We're staying on. We're reading comments. We got to go, you guys. We got to go. Have a great rest of your day.

We're going to be back. Are we back next week? We're back next week. Odette's going to be here with us. Yeah. We're going to talk maintenance. So many of you have maintenance questions. We're going to talk maintenance next week.

The biggest one is, can I still buy in for the $75 and be grandfathered in? I'm mindful to say grandfathered in, but yes it stands if you want to pick up that that that the The maintenance program is going to change especially when we have an app It's not going to be 75 bucks I guarantee you that and you'll definitely probably have to pay program for program So if you want to get in the $75 as it stands right now, yes, we have not changed anything That's how it's been the last couple years you pay one price you get in you can do as many rounds as a program as you Need we don't have an app yet That's how it's been the last couple of years. You pay one price, you get in, you can do as many rounds as the program as you need.

We don't have an app yet. And then when we do have an app, we will give everyone who's already in a coat, obviously anyone who's already in there will be able to use the app. So yes, that's the main question that people have, but we're gonna get in deep into maintenance next week. Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go.

See you then. I'll see you in the next show, song. Yeah. Okay Kim, thanks. Yeah. OK, Kim, thanks. Thanks. Thanks, everyone. See you. Hey. Hey.

Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.
