The Livy Method Podcast - Your Nervous System Remembers (Even When You Don't)

Episode Date: July 8, 2026

What if the thing derailing you isn't willpower? What if it's a nervous system stuck in protection mode? Gina Livy, Odette, and Kim open up about grief, burnout, and the surprising ways your body remembers what your brain moves past. From there, they get practical about this week's tweak: how to personalize the plan with intention instead of drifting into doing your own thing, why letting go of structure feels unsafe (and why that's the point), and Kim's honest question to ask yourself before every choice: is this what I need, or am I looking for a loophole?This episode aligns with Day 80 of our Spring 2026 weight loss program.

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 Living Method podcast.

Hey there, before we get into our conversation today and no doubt it's going to be great. I want to remind you that we have the most amazing weight loss program and maintenance program on the market. And our next live session for the fall is on sale right now. But if you don't want to wait until the fall, you can sign up today by joining our membership. For more information, go to liby method.com. Full Terrence, person. Hi, ladies.

I just sent, like, Odette and Kim a note saying, oh, my God, you got to put up the post on, oh, my God, you got to put the post on the nervous system because I talked about it in the light today. I thought I was going up today and it's supposed to go up for tomorrow. Can you post that? And I was like, holy fuck. Chill out, Gina. I was like, good morning. Yes, this is great for my nervous system. I'll get that up right away. I know it's three o'clock in the morning, Kim. Could you just get that up like right now? Thanks. Odette, to anyone who doesn't know Odette, Odette is the manager of the maintenance program.

So anyone who's new to the program, we have this whole maintenance program and support group. and all of that. And Odette runs that. So we want to talk about personalizing the plan because not only is it great for weight loss, but also you really want to get in tune and trust when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat when you're done losing your weight, right? You're losing your weight. Then you actively maintain your weight.

Like that's a whole thing you're doing. And then you're just going to live your life. And that's where this comes in. But I do have to mention, oh, I don't know where Kim went. I do have to mention Odette. Like you were at your Odette's sister passed away in week six. of the program this year and you're at your sister's celebration of life this weekend. Talk about nervous system. How are you doing? Yeah, it was, you know what it felt like.

So she did pass away a week six, week six of the winter program. So we've had a few months. And this weekend felt like the Band-Aid just got ripped off again, you know, because we were all coming into like into this normalcy of our lives again and going day-to-day understanding she's not here anymore and what that feels like, what that looks like, and then all of those emotions came right back again. And I think this is, it was a, so I'm doing okay to answer your question. It's good. You know, it was great to have some family time. And, and the way we did it was, so we had our very private family ceremony on Friday. And then Saturday was the celebration. It was this storytelling. We, you know, we had, we did a cheers to her and, you know, watching her

slideshow, I'm like, oh, I remember that picture and I remember that. I remember that. I remember that memory and I remember that. So it was really nice. But yeah, talk about nervous system being all over the place and having to navigate what that feels like. And yeah, it was, it was, but I feel good. I'm glad we did it. And it was nice to go away. And now we're back. Yeah, well, nervous system. Odette's father also passed away in the fall program. So week six of the fall program, her dad passed away and then week six of the winter program her sister passed away and so that's that's a lot and i'm just bringing it up because a lot of people are dealing with grief and we got a lot of things going on and we're talking about constantly trying to connect with ourselves and

trust when to eat what to eat and how much to eat we've got to break through that with so much going on in our lives and that those experiences and that um those feelings those associations are real Like when week six of the spring program came, it's like we was waiting for the shoe to drop. Like what's going to happen? Like that comes right back. I know this is something we've talked about before, totally off topic. But when we got to the five year point after COVID, you know, it was that March 2020. I remember March 2025.

We're all like, what's going on? Why do we feel weird this week? What is happening? Why do we feel off? Your body remembers. Your nervous system remembers though what happened, you know? And you do associate that time to where you are now. And, you know, it happened with COVID five years later.

And it happened in week six of the spring program. Like my nervous system automatically turned into like a protection time. Like wanted to protect me, wanted to get me ready. It was anticipating something bad happened before it shocked me. So yeah. Edgy. Yeah. Edgey, I actually had a someone who did my program in 2018, my very first

And she's like, oh, I did your program in 2018. I lost 20 pounds. It was great. And then the pandemic and then menopause and I've gained like 60 pounds. And oh my God, is there any hope for me? And I think this pandemic like thing affected us more like after the pandemic. I found I was really edgy. And I blamed the pandemic.

But then also I was going through menopause. So then you layer like the pandemic, menopause and a light stuff on top of that, you know, no wonder we're just kind of like, ah, like, waiting for the next shoe to drop, heightened sense. We're not sleeping. We're edgy. We're all of that. So let me just tell you what happened to me.

So I know you guys know me because I told you last time. So all this week, I have not been able to look at a screen. I'm so fucking tired. I am just like not okay. And I am putting so much pressure on myself because I got to get a million things done. And I'm just, oh, my God, I'm so lazy. Am I depressed? What's going on?

with me. Turns out, I have whiplash from doing a fucking cartwheel on Canada Day at the beach. And when I track it back, I'm like, oh, my God, that makes sense. And you can also get like a mild concussion from it, which affects your memory, your like all of it. And here I'm just thinking, what the fuck is wrong with me? But also putting this enormous amount of stress on myself and not really being in tune with where, like, what is going on, where I'm at, where I'm at, what's going on with me, what I need and how we feel. And it just occurred to me. So this morning during my 730 new kind of like, come hang out with me, move your body kind of thing I'm doing, I was talking about that because how could I be so fucking disconnected that I just didn't even,

like I was Googling whiplash. I was Googling brain tumor. I knew there was something wrong with me, but didn't, but then also put all this pressure on. me to do that. And so I think we're just all dealing with so much, how do we, how do we be in the moment to actually take time to be in tune? I don't know where I'm going with that, but that's kind of what personalized and the plan is about in a sense. It is. And yeah, thinking back, you know, you were just saying about the pandemic is one thing that did come out of it that we probably should have embraced more than we actually did was resting. And I think a lot Are you okay? Are you going to cry right now? Or is you, are you just? No, I, you know what? I have had a, I'm getting a migraine. I had a headache last night. I didn't sleep last night either. So I'm, but yeah, like, well, what's going on, Kim? What's going on? I don't know, but it's exactly what you're saying. I don't know. I think it's everything's building up from doing, oh, maybe I'm going to cry. Um, from that. She just misses me. She was here last week. I was here last week. I miss so dead. I saw Gina. Now I'm back in B.C. And you know, this is awful. Yeah, when you come back from the pandemic.

where we actually took time for ourselves. Most of us, I mean, I know the frontline workers didn't have that luxury of being able to use it as like, almost like a reset for a nervous system because we weren't going out all the time. We weren't forcing ourselves to do social things. Our kids didn't have their activities. We didn't have our activities. A lot of people didn't have to go to work. So people came out of that.

And I noticed it at my kids grad this year is a lot of kids. kids, sorry, a lot of kids and the moms were like, oh, you know, I think since the pandemic, we've just wanted to make the prom so great because so many kids missed out on it. And I was kind of sitting there thinking, like, well, is that the point? Like, you know, countries like in Europe don't even do proms, some of them. They don't have big proms. They just, like, you graduate. Everybody celebrates you and you move on. And I feel like maybe we've added even too much since then. And maybe it's because we missed out. Maybe it's because we felt lazy for that year, year and a half that we couldn't do anything. The kids couldn't go to school. We couldn't do this and that. But I think we put a lot of

pressures on ourselves since then, which has been a shock after actually not doing anything for some of us or, you know, scaling back on everything for so long. And then all of a sudden we throw ourselves into it. And we might do that with, excuse me, with the diet, with the program too. Yes. Some people come in and they're like, okay, like, I'm at the like low, like highest weight I've ever been. I feel like crap. I'm not taking care of myself. All of a sudden they go in, these type A personalities that go all in, do absolutely everything, tick every box, do every exercise, read every post, like do everything. And I think when you get to the, that's what might be some of the things that come up for people with personalizing the plan is they haven't even

been thinking. Just like, I'm going to do everything Gina says and doing it all. And then personalizing the plan comes along. And all of a sudden, they look around and they're like, oh, shoot, I wasn't paying attention. I was just doing what Gina said. I wasn't paying attention to me. I was trying to do everything because I thought the more I did, the better it was going to be. This is that, this is that, it's just like I just, I know how you guys feel the same, just wish, want to wrap everyone in a hug and being like, you're perfect. You're amazing. You're doing great, right?

Like, it doesn't matter whether you're the person doing all the things or you're just hanging on by the skin of your teeth. I think I keep trying to say, I don't want to say, let's normalize this. But like, just watching this video today, if that's all you did this week, is something. right like just getting that one glass of water in when you would normally drink no water is something and i hear that sometimes especially with where we're at the end of the program like oh it's a lot or it's too much or is it really or is it just us putting that pressure on ourselves to do everything perfectly right like it is what it is you're going to get there when you get there it's just as many choices

each day that fall in line with your goals but if those choices are all simultaneously helping you in the moment to be healthier or happier or more in the moment than what's the downside of that even if it's just the smallest amount. I don't know. Odette, what do you see shaking your head there? Yeah, I think, you know, with this, we have, we're at this place now where we are coming off a bit of structure, you know, like I think when we're on a diet, it's like, I'm just going to do what I need to do. I'm going to, like Kim said, I'm going to do what's laid out in front of me. I don't want to have to think about it because I don't want to make a mistake. I don't want to feel like I'm not doing enough. I don't want to feel like I don't know how to make the right choice because

that's not a safe place to be. And again, going back to the nervous system, your nervous system doesn't prepare you for the best case scenario. Your nervous system is going to prepare you for the worst case scenario. So that's what you're going to be thinking of. You're going to be thinking of what if this goes wrong. What if that goes wrong? What if I make the wrong choice? Well, if I don't ever leave this structure behind, if I don't ever have to rely on myself to make decisions and make choices, then that worst case scenario can't happen. So I think that's where we are right now, too. So, yes, we want to do everything perfectly because that's kind of what we've been wired to believe in the past, that if you don't do everything perfectly, you're going to have to restart. If you don't do everything right,

you're going to go back to old habits, that weight's going to come back, that cycle is going to continue. So this is why I think with personalizing the plan, it's kind of fast-tracking you a little bit to you have to make those choices, have to learn what you need, what your body needs, you know, what works for you. And it's not something that's going to be fixed in two weeks. We're not going to figure it out in week 11 and week 12. I mean, we'd love to say yes, that's going to happen. But it's not going to just happen in week 11 and week 12. So if we can just understand that your nervous system is on your side, but is also not on your side, that fear that might be there or that uncertainty, maybe.

it's not fear, just know that it is there. But this has all been a learning opportunity. It's all been a process. And stepping away from the basic food plan or any food plan really is part of that. Yeah, it's like sometimes you can't see the forest from the trees. And I know Dr. Beverly has talked about this before. Like it's an opportunity to see where you're at to test what you got, test what you learn. If you're nervous as fuck and you're fearful and you're scared, guess what?

You need some more time. You need some more time working on your issues and associations and being into. And maybe it's not perfecting the food. It's calming down that nervous system, right? What can you do to be more in the moment each day? This is this is about bringing, intentionally bringing up the thoughts, intentionally bringing up the feels to be like, oh, okay, this is clearly what I need to be working on right now. Like that's the whole point of it.

I was driving with Tony the other day and I'm like, why did I fucking structure this the way that I did? Like, why? And I know why, the 91 days, right? because I want people to be able to customize it. 91 days is enough time to make change. The body loves routine, but we're switching it up enough that we're keeping it, you know,

kind of like on its toes. But this thing where we put this pressure at the end of the program, like this is why we have our membership. Like if you haven't signed up for our membership, why the fuck not? It's $20 a month. It's the cost, it's less than a lobster roll with fries. And it keeps you being able to use the app connected to the community

all the resource, all the content, all that motivation, right? If you're like, oh, my God, I have to lose all my weight by the end of 91 days, no, you don't. Because guess what happens? At the end of 91 days, the next day is going to come and you're still going to be working towards your goals, right? So sometimes I'm just like, there's pros to it and then there's cons to it. But I also love learning. I love learning and growing and evolving. I was watching a thing today. It was like a neuro person. And she's like there's like a million different thoughts. and things that come into our scope, like throughout the day. Your brain is capable of identifying like 50 of them. And it's like, what is your brain letting through? Like from what lens are you functioning from, right? So this is, I know a doubt we talk a lot about being intentional when it comes to following the program. It's like, how do we be intentional?

What's your advice for being intentional with personalizing the plan? you're asking me yeah I'm asking you yeah I've been all over the place I have like a concussion and whiplash so just ignore me I get it well you know it's kind of like is like this this natural evolution so you had perimenopause then monopause brain then whiplash brain I mean if it if you were just fine none of us wouldn't know what's going on I don't know how to be fine I just fuck that yeah I think we were fine for three days in say lucia and all of us were freaked out let's let's go back that we were doing that trip on the way. We're going to do that retreat to St. Lucia next September. We have booked it. We put a

deposit on it. So we are going. 2027. We'll let you all know about it. But anyways, okay, I digress. Personally, it's a plan. Being intentional about it. What do you want? What do you want to say there? Yeah. So I think with being intentional, I think what you have to, the first thing you have to do is allow yourself to do it, to participate in it. I think there, you know, there can be a point where you're like, I'm just not going to do it because this is safe. The basic food plan is safe. It's working for me. It's familiar.

So I think you need to intentionally let go of that. You need to intentionally tell yourself, I am here to make change. So I need to step out of my comfort zone. I need to step into this place that is new, that may be uncertain, that is unfamiliar. That's the first intention. Allow yourself to participate and personalize in the plan. Don't say to us, I'm. doing it and then behind the scenes you're like, I'm just going to keep doing this because it's safe

and comfortable. Do it. Allow it, allow it to happen. You know, allow those, those ebbs and flows to happen, getting it right one day and not getting it right the next day because there is no getting it right or wrong. It's about figuring out. It's about learning. It's about connecting the dots. So be intentional with at least telling yourself that you are going to do it. You are going to give it a try and let go of that of the basic food plan. And then I think along with intention is awareness. I think when we are we are following through with personalizing the plan, being aware of when things maybe aren't the way that you expected, you know, if you think, okay, well,

I'm not hungry for my dinner. So this is the week that you can skip it. But then being aware of how you feel at the end of the night, do you feel like, oh, I'm really hungry? Maybe I should have had dinner. or I feel myself going, you know, slipping back into wanting an evening snack because I'm hungry. What if I don't eat? I'm going to be really starving. I should eat something now. Oh, my goodness. So have an awareness of how the first few days or even the first week of this of this week make you feel.

Connect those dots. You know, keep learning. So I think it's the intention of giving it a try. Then it's also having the awareness of what is happening, how it makes you feel. You might feel great. You might be like, yeah, this is working for me. This is exactly what I want. have I can trust myself. I do know what my body wants at this point. That could be your awareness too. So I think you have to have the intention and then you have to have the awareness of what's going on. Well, I love Don here. I think the personalizing the plan are some week of magic in the program. Understanding the ebbs and flows are what is going to make it different for me this time. And, you know, I think it was Don or someone else was like, oh, yeah, like, who's like, who's I talk?

Oh, fucking, what's her name? I don't know. Maybe you shouldn't say it now because it's what's her next. Tanya. Tanya from yesterday. Tonya from yesterday. Tonya Jalsamino, she just had this because she had done, she'd done the program. And over the summer, she lost eight pounds.

And that was on her own. Could you imagine she had this, we now have support throughout the summer. And she just had this wonderful view of this summer. She's like, oh, summer's so great. You're out. You're about food. Like her whole attitude. about summer wasn't like, oh my God, it was hard and thing and whatever.

It was just really refreshing. She was like really intentional about her having a positive experience, like melding the two, enjoying the summer and then also making choices that made her feel really good. And I was just kind of listening to her. And I'm like, wow. Like that's so like, but she was very intentional about that, right? So we do have a lot of control. We're not trying to control or moderate ourselves, but I think we have a lot of control

in that way of showing up for our. ourselves and us deciding what the summer is going to look like, us deciding what personalizing the plan means to us, right? Like, to me, it is exciting. And this is why I was so resistant to doing, I never had a maintenance program. And I was so resisting because I'm like, no, no, you're going to personalize the plan. Just do another round of the program, solidify your way, then you're going to personalize the plan. That's it. You learn this. You got this. Trust it. Now I know there's a lot more to it than that. But like, I get excited about, I get excited about, when you see my excitement on Monday. It could have just been delirious, not knowing where I was. But I love this tweak.

I love learning and growing and evolving as hard as it is sometimes. I do love it. Yeah. And I think that's one thing that we miss out with having one thing that we had back when Tanya was doing the program versus now was we were just like, bye, we'll see you in September to everyone at the end of the program. And there was nothing there. People used to panic. They were like, what am I going to do? And we would have them come back in September and they would feel so confident about themselves and where they were at. And some of them it was I just, I lost all control. But then I remembered I could just do back on track. And so I did that. And, you know, all of this. But I think a big piece of it is we're so used to diets to your point about that 91 days. We're so used to it ending after 91 days. And then it's a full stop. And this isn't that like even though the program ends, you're, it's just starting really for you, the part of the tweaks every week is ending right now. And it's going to be the personalizing the plan. And that's where you get to make your own tweak it yourself to what you need after that.

So it's still part of the program. You're still learning. It's just a little bit more independent. And now it's nice because we have different people that are, some people are ready of that. Some people aren't. So if there is an occasion where you start to feel like you're flailing, we're around for the summer. Come check in with us.

Like we'll remind you, you can do best. contract and things like that. But like you, you've got it. And, you know, with the support there, it's going to be even better. Imagine what Tanya could have done if she had like support, like went all in and had the support on those days when she didn't feel like she was, you know, crushing it. I also want to remind people that I do have the app and the AI, all of that. You'll be able to ask questions. I mean, that's, you know, I love our community. To me, that's where the biggest value of all of that. But we're going to go live. We're going to check into the summer. But also, you're going to have your app that's going to have new content.

all the old content, you're going to be able to track everything, the AI, ask questions, all of that. Odette, since you're here, I want to talk about maintenance. And because, you know, people have said, you know, well, if people are maintaining the weight, where are they? How come we're not having the conversations here? And this is really for focused on, um, on weight loss. And we haven't really been proactive in telling people to do maintenance. And now we know you need to do the maintenance program. You want to protect your progress. You want to do your maintenance program. Um, can you maybe just talk about the maintenance and what people can expect and how that's a little different and the importance of doing that? Because I don't think we talk about, you're right.

People are right. We don't talk about it enough here. We're just focused on that weight journey. But maintenance has become to realize, which I think we've been doing it for four years now. I saw like a Facebook anniversary post, blah, blah. July 22nd will be four years. Yeah. And we've learned a lot through Ruth Kane and our team of the University of Ottawa.

We've studied people in maintenance, what makes them successful over someone who has a harder time. and all that. Maybe like maybe share a little bit about that or what I don't know what do people need to know about maintenance or what's the thing that surprised you the most? I don't know. Yeah. There's so much. So we have learned a lot about maintenance and like you said, we have learned what it takes to successfully maintain and sustain your weight. We've learned that through the research like you said from Dr. Ruth Kane. We have learned that from what our members have shared and talked about because we can say, like we understand this is what it takes. This is what you need to do. Don't go back into old habits. You know, focus on your stress management. But I think the biggest part is, well, what happens

when everything is going perfectly well in your life? And then all of a sudden, it's not. How do you not revert to old habits? How do you not allow that to trigger you? How do you allow that to not put you back into this giving up? It's a lost cause. I'll just restart mindset. So what's really I think important about maintenance is you come in with fresh eyes. This is a totally new part of your journey. We're not trying to shift that number on the scale. So number one, you have to be okay with that. So how do you get away with that?

We're going to walk you through that. And then it's about solidifying that mindset. We know it can take the body two years to solidify the weight that you've lost, to adjust to that, to make, to have your new set point be your new norm. We want to help you fast track that. But we want to help you be able to accept and understand the issues that come up, the associations that come up, those old trigger points that might come up. So that's what maintenance is really important for. And we know that people that are successful maintainers

have been able to work through that. They don't allow blips to send them back, to spiral them back. And you might have moments of that. But it's not, it's, you never have to get back to a restart. You never have to get back to the beginning. So when you're in maintenance, we're helping you kind of, you know, work through all of that. We're helping you fast track that. Because Yes, you can count and weigh your way to losing weight. You can count way and measure your way to sustaining your weight. But what happens when you can't do that anymore? You have to have the mindset.

You have to have the tools. You have to have the confidence to be able to do the things that you need to do. And we're going to help you work through that and bring those things to light for you. So I think that's what we want people to know that it is a physical. It still is a very physical process. But it's more of an emotional and mental process. process. You have to believe that you can do this. And people don't believe that they can do it. They don't believe that they can maintain their weight long term because they don't have

evidence there. They don't have the experience. So we're going to work through your experiences, work through what's going on in your life to help build that confidence and that belief. Yeah. When you've lost your weight in a way that actually changes you, like actually changes you and it changes the way you show up in life and the way you live your life. A lot of people don't trust that. A lot of people are nervous about it. A lot of people sabotage themselves. It's actually was never the losing the weight for them and not to dismiss how difficult that can be. But it was really about what happened after they had lost the weight. Here's a comment here. I got to, I got to bring up. And I thank you for saying it, Katrina.

She's like, I've been personalizing the plan too much this program and my weight isn't going anywhere. So I just want to like take him in a minute. I know what you mean, Katrina, like you've been doing your own thing and your weight isn't moving. But that's the difference I think we're I just want to be intentional about what personalizing the plan is, is about being intentional about still losing weight and reaching your goal. It is not actually doing your own thing, right? It is not trusting the body. What do I want to eat right now? Oh, I want chips. I want a donut. So I'm going to do that. This is the thing with personalizing the plan. And maybe it's not the best name. And people have told me, change the name of downsizing, change the name of personalizing the plan.

Like, we can do hard things, but we don't have to make it harder than we need to. It really is about checking in at every single meal and snack, right, from the basic food plan, really taking a minute to be in tune. Am I actually hungry and need to eat? What's the best choice from the same things we've been suggesting all along or could eat? I'm not really hungry, but I'm a little hungry. Let me have a small token amount. Or should eat to stop myself from going too long without eating and falling back into that old pattern, right?

you are doing that intentionally to move the fucking dial on that scale, right? Like that's the whole point. We're not losing sight of that. Or if you're doing that in maintenance, you're doing it to be able to truly trust when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat so you can just live your life, right? Like wake up, look, feel good, and go about your day. Plus you're maximizing. You haven't forgot about trying to get the best sleep, managing your stress, moving your body,

working with your health care provider, drinking your water, right? So that's the mindset you want to be in. Personalized and the plan is just building on everything that you've done and being like, okay, how can I get even more in tune to my body's needs? Because essentially the only thing that's changing is you don't have to force yourself to eat if you're not hungry. That's that mindset, right? But I know what Katrina's saying here, right?

Like I just kind of let things go and I'm all over the place and haven't lost weight. So this is about you, Katrina, maybe, and anyone else who feels the same way. which is why this is so validating is to reassess your why. What's your why? Be really intentional about what's your plan this summer? Is your plan to lose weight? Is your plan to maintain your weight? Or is your plan just to not gain weight while you enjoy this summer?

Like you ought to be very intentional about that. Before we go, what are your tips, ladies? We have this week personalize the plan. We have next week also still focused on moving that scale, but we're going to talk more about maintenance. What is your advice for the rest of the week for everyone? everyone who's watching or listening. I would say my big piece of advice is don't look for loopholes. I don't, when you were personalizing the plan and you're checking in with yourself,

if you are, you know, as Katrina said, maybe she's not being intentional and things like that. Are you, when you make a choice, are you looking for a loophole? Are you doing it? Because that's what you kind of wanted to and be sneaky and you think you can slide it into the plan right now because we're personalizing the plan? Or is that what you really need? need right now. So my advice would be this week, you know, while you're testing it out, stop and think if you are someone who you know looks for those loopholes, those excuses for why you can have something that maybe doesn't make you feel your best, even though it's not, you know, you're not, you're necessarily feeling it. Are you intentionally having that or are you looking for a loophole?

That would be a little added question. I might add in to personalizing the plan. If you're somebody who knows you're leaning, if you're all in and you're gung-ho and you're confident and you've got this and your weight is moving and you're happy with everything is, you're probably fine. You're probably not looking for those loopholes. But that would be something I would say to add to the list for this this week for people is, you know, check yourself and see if you're looking for loopholes along the way this week. Yeah, that's that. I did not expect that, Kim. Thank you. I just was looking at my iPad because Katrina's like, yeah, my why is weak. And it makes so much sense, right? Like you're why you sign up for the program versus why you're going to show up every day through

hard things, that changes and evolves. And that's that taking time to be in tune with yourself. I hear a comment from Suzanne just popping up. Her mom was diagnosed with advanced, though curable cancer that required surgery during week three. And she's kind of been off and not sure where to start and two weeks back on track and head into week five or I fell off. Like that's, you know, you start with a why and then something like that happens. And next thing you know, like what's your why now? Maybe it's like, oh my God, my why is to stay strong to help my mom through this. Like maybe that's your why. And yes, you can still lose weight while also drinking your water, eating good foods, trying to get better sleep, manage your stress to keep your energy up

to deal with the situation. In terms where you start off, so if you started with the program and you're using the app, you can, if you're still on week five, you can follow through and finish that out with the app. You can, you can do that. If you're on our membership, you'll have access to AI and all of that. Cheryl is asking, how do I join the membership, the maintenance group? So if you're on our membership that's included, you can actually switch back and forth using the app. If you go to the top of the app, you'll see the weight loss program. You can click into that and then click into the maintenance program. So if you're in on our membership, you can go back and forth. So you can listen to conversations in maintenance, kind of see what's going on over there. If you're in maintenance,

you go back into weight loss, whatever you want to do, that's available to you. And then if you actually ask how to actually get into the group, you just find the Facebook support group and use the same code. I digress, Odette, back to you. I'm going to give you the last word. Yeah, so I think with this week and personalized and planning general, just be really curious. Like, be curious to what is coming up for you. Be curious to what is happening.

I think it's easy to just say, you know, do I need to eat? could I eat, should I eat? But when you follow through with that, how does how does that make you feel? If you skip that afternoon snack, how are you feeling at dinner? This is all information that's going to help you later make choices. So I think, you know, just get really curious. Take the information. It's all learning. It's all getting to know yourself. And when I think long term getting to know this is where this is what's going to help you maintain that way. You're going to know it's going to help you build that trust and confidence long term. So get curious. Take the information, stay aware, and just have fun with that. Just, you know, like, oh, I didn't know that

about myself. Oh, I didn't know that that was going to happen. Yeah, get curious and stay aware. I was going to let you have the last word. And then I saw this comment. I'm just lazy. What is quick to eat? Yeah. Right? Like, I don't know, lazy. Finding something quick to eat is not, like, that laziness is like, that's not it. If you're lazy that, like, is that really that you're just lazy so you need something quick to eat or are you just not motivated to actually make choices that are going to help you reach your goals, right? Like, I thought I was lazy this week because I didn't want to return emails. I didn't want to do this. And it turns out like I have whiplash. And that's why, right? Like I was putting all that pressure on myself. If you're not motivated to make

good choices, it doesn't matter. Like you get a yogurt is easy. A banana is easy. Nuts are easy. Robbed eggs are easy. Do you know what I mean? So, that's like kind of like that I love that curiousness if you're just like okay like what what is going on here right so I just you know you guys know I couldn't let that go if you are actually looking for quick and easy tips we have tons of recipes for you that you can check out but um great advice ladies if you had one word are you back next week or no yeah we're all we're all together oh I love it okay fine then I'll just save it for next time save it all right here's christine okay I have not good day I've not done well this time I'm going to keep it going look for

to continuing in my journey. I'm also part of the maintenance group. I look forward to the summer group as I plan on getting my act together and getting in gear to get revved up. And yes, I love the 20 minute workout. Thank you so much. You don't need to get your act together. You just need to take a deep breath and be like, what is going on? Where am I at? What do I need? Let me reconnect with myself. You got this. You're here today and that's good enough. Odette, thank you. Kim. I'm going to call you. You're okay. I'm worried about you. I'll be okay. I just need some sleep. I'll be fine. Okay.

All right. I love you, ladies. Thanks, everyone joining us today or listening after the fact. We appreciate you. We're not done yet. So make sure you reach out. Let us know if you have any questions. Have a fantastic day.
