Hate To Weight | Our Diet And Weight Loss Journey

In This Episode: We are both having a major case of OVERWHELM. John’s anxious about his road trip to Toronto. Emily’s anxious about her book. Ugh! Halloween candy season! Our Dietbet is over, and we did not get our money back. A wedding threw Emily’s window wide open. John celebrated his birthday over the weekend. Getting back on the wagon is so difficult. We get a little musical! It’s a busy season for both of us, and that adds to our anxiety. Emily celebrates wearing a smaller size dress! Lots of wins this week in our #WinningWednesday post! We’ve finally started #FitbitFriday (thanks Adam from Odd Dad Out for the hashtag idea!)

  In This Episode: John tries a cold shower, then finds out the benefits (including supposed weight-loss). Did you know we have Brown Fat and White Fat?

Emily discovered the joys of Wawa! The stages of pant sizes, from biggest to smallest: Too big, three-days of wear, new, right out of the dryer. We get into a peanut butter conversation, sugar-free, fluffy, etc. Our weigh-in went well and we have a goal for next week to get to the 50-pound mark!

In This Episode: We have 80 members in our Facebook group! John makes an appearance on the Weight Loss Surgery Podcast. Hope everyone in our DietBet enjoys our $70, LOL!

(If anyone wants to be her friend, her trainer code is: 6172 1085 1954) John’s gotten into weight training. We’re both finally adding exercise! We have got to figure out some #WinningWednesday music! But our group members had a great week! Emily has a nice mood-boosting App (except it’s Android only, sorry iPhone users!) The weekly weigh-in!

In This Episode: How our diets went while we were away. We talk about the pills we take daily, including vegetables in pill form. We’re doing DietBet and pledged $35 to lose 4% of our weight by October 9th. Will we make it? (And you could join us too and split the pot if you succeed!) Do you have Food-Related FOMO? Do you worry about missing out on the best Dorito, like Emily? Appetizers are our weakness! Don’t give us choices! We need to do some deep work to tackle Food FOMO.

John lost a bet with I Shake My Head with Lisa and Sam and had to wear a Toronto Blue Jays hat and is now a Podcast Couple! Has anyone actually enjoyed Olive Garden lately? Week 20 — we would have quit by now, had it not been for this podcast and group. And it keeps us from going on the lose a bunch of weight-gain it back-cycle. John decides to move more. What do you think of this quote? “Let’s please stop celebrating weight loss?” We like the quote “You have to be happy to lose weight, losing weight won’t make you happy.” Sorry for the reverse-mullet shaming. John finds another Anti-Keto article that we look at. Congratulations to those in the group who posted in #WinningWednesday post! The Weigh-In was … interesting. This week’s Johnspiration: Start now.

In This Episode: John and Emily are quite the pair today! Shark Week (Emily’s hormonal time of the month) + Grizz (John’s hanger avatar/John’s Keto Flu) = Unhappy hosts! We talk about a new trendy diet, The Carnivore Diet. Oh boy! (We’re not trying it and no doctors have been consulted about it.) What would you eat on a deserted island?

In This Episode: Emily’s Shark Week is late! Intermittent Fasting really screws up her schedule! John’s transitioning to a liquid diet and his knee is bothering him. We talk a bit about Gatorade/Powerade, and there’s a lot of salt in that! If you’re retaining water, you should be drinking more water (which is so weird!) The difference six years makes, when John started his first weight-loss podcast, and Emily was losing her first bout of baby weight. 17 weeks in, we’re trying not to fall into old habits! #WinningWednesday posts in the Hate to Weight Discussion Group are fantastic!

In This Episode: Our Podcast Movement recap - all our anxiety was for nought! We had a blast! Our diets, though … we both fell off the wagon so hard! We both do intermittent fasting, where we eat within a certain window every day. Our windows were just open the whole time. The shame that comes after falling off the wagon. We pick our celebrity voices for the self-talk where we tempt ourselves to make bad decisions. We talk about how to change a habit. (Link to the infographic below) We decide to be more mindful about our eating and our habits. Why is this so difficult? We set some goals and want to be held accountable. We celebrate our group members’ #WinningWednesday! Our weigh-in results are … interesting. PLUS 5 pounds this week. :( This week’s John-spiration: You don’t fail until you quit!

In This Episode: We’re both nervous about Podcast Movement! Emily has named her fat-shaming voice Regina George (from “Mean Girls”). If you haven’t yet, listen to Dave Jackson’s School of Podcasting episode about Overcoming Impostor Syndrome! “How bad could this be?” is a dangerous question for us. How much of this is a lifestyle change and how much of this is just a temporary diet? Question in the Facebook Group from Michele: Any recordings about exercise? How you fit it in, what you’ve tried, motivation? Buddy system, accountability partner helpful or no.... This week’s John-spiration: There is always a way to add some kind of exercise in your day. A lot of reflection this week and we’re both stuck on a plateau. Maybe we should do live weigh-ins. What do you think? How do you feel when the scale doesn’t move? What do you do? John’s inner critic, Don Rickles, is brutal today. So many #WinningWednesday shout-outs from the Facebook group! We have the idea for a podcasting subscription box. We here at Hate to

In This Episode: John has Triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13) but this was a really great episode for us. We go into a bit about Emily’s cycle, which Intermittent Fasting does affect. John’s getting anxiety over a podcasting conference we’re going to (Podcast Movement). The anxiety affects cortisol, which affects weight loss. We get into a mental health discussion, not so much about weight-loss but about some of the underlying things we deal with that leads to weight. Hello, Freud! We talk about our mothers and their influence. Emily talks about her success using an eating coach. John names his eating disorder: Grizz! Donuts! Oh my goodness! Have John and Emily synced their cycles, maybe? The Weigh-In Results: Total loss of 0 pounds! What is your inner fat shaming voice? For John, it’s Don Rickles; for Emily, it’s Renee Zellweger. This week’s John-spiration: Don’t do this by yourself, there are people out there who want to help and be supportive. #WinningWednesday shout-outs from the Facebook group. W

In This Episode: That number of the scale DOES NOT define you! (But it’s hard to remember.) John’s nightmare week and realizing his addiction. Should we name our addiction to food? We’re dorks. We compare dieting to podcasting. Again. Let’s try to change our mindset so that number on the scale doesn’t affect our whole week! Emily gets a lesson on keto—no dabbling! John’s life is not changed from discovering 5-Ingredient Keto Recipes! Please come to the Facebook group and see the live video of John’s faces at all the recipes.

In This Episode: Dealing with dieting one-day- and one-meal-at-a-time. Trying to drop the calories-in-calories-out mindset is hard! When you have to ditch the diet plan in the name of feeling better. We can’t say “Intermittent Fasting” — From now on, it’s just “IF” It’s very overwhelming thinking of dieting on a long-term basis. We’re trying so hard not to come on and just complain, we swear! This week’s John-spiration: It takes a village to diet. The #WinningWednesday posts were awesome in the Facebook group! John talks about his favorite meal he eats most often. We get into a little bit of veggie talk. Our cereal struggles! Who else does the same thing as Emily? Trying to find self-empowerment with diet food. Crop Shares and Cow Shares.

In This Episode: We recorded the episode live in the Facebook group, which was a lot of fun. Shark week returns! We’re at the F-it point of our diets and it’s affecting our moods. We should probably get more movement, but sometimes it’s tough with our ADHD to get us out of our Hyperfocus zone or schedule time for that. This week’s John-spiration: You can’t exercise out the fork. The dieting newness wore off. We’re out of the honeymoon phase of our diets. Emily is on a cleaning kick and relates it to dieting.
