If the scale isn’t moving in the direction that you hoped, you may be eating all the “right” things but the amount still counts. Be mindful of portions, if you haven't already, pull out your measuring cups or a food scale to get an idea of what your portions should look like on your plate.


Do you have to measure things forever? Heck no, that is no way to live! But doing it for a few days or a few weeks will give you a jumping off point to better eyeball your portions and it never hurts to check yourself every so often to keep you from getting portion distortion.

My goal was to drop the weight but build muscle. I discovered I have been losing body weight and muscle tone and there's an increase in fat percentage (According to Hume Health). This wasn't my plan BUT I'm continuing with the group and fine tuning the amount of cardio I do. Thanks for the motivation to try to drop some weight.

100% I have done that this week with pulling out the food scale and get a more accurate number for all the macros.

I’ve gained weight since last week. Exercising more. Eating less. All I’ve done is use Lean by Make Wellness and used Recover after workouts. I’m gonna have to just not eat after 10am.

My maintenance calories with exercise is 1700-1800, right now in a deficit I’m at 1300-1400ish with exercise. Definitely go heavy on protein each meal, and alllll the veggies.

Protein always first. Working out more is not always the answer.

Gooood morning and happy first day of your 2026 Fat Blast!

Firstly, regarding this morning’s live workout…I know weekdays are tough to get a time where people can join due to work, school and all the other adult obligations. So, I am going to push today’s Live to this Saturday 1/10 @ 10am CST. I think then we will be able to accommodate more people to join!

The first live Q&A will also be this next weekend on Sunday 1/11 (time TBD), where we can discuss how the first week went, and I can answer any questions y’all have.

Now, let’s go smash day one’s workout and crush this game!!👊?💙

Happy Weigh-in Weekend! Hopefully by now, everyone has saved and looked over the workout calendar (if that’s the one you’re doing) and all of the super helpful nutrition information. Remember, these next four weeks will work if you take the time to prep, plan and focus on making the needed changes. Don’t be scared…this is all about finding those healthy changes in your day to day that will help you accomplish your goals and turn into long-term, consistent, healthy habits!💪

Hey everyone! I hope the holidays have been great you and your families and I'm so excited to get to work with y'all starting Monday, January 5th!

All the nutrition materials and special hybrid workout calendar will be available for download starting Wednesday, 12/30. As a reminder, you DO NOT have to do the hybrid workout calendar. You can do any workouts/ program you want!

Regarding the live workouts and Q&A's, they are still TBD as I work through travel schedule for January, but I promise they're happening.

Welcome to the game and I can't wait to see y'all CRUSH it!!
