24: Down 13 lbs in 8 Weeks While Eating Out and Traveling—Simple Habits That Made It Happen

She almost didn’t join… and now she’s down 13 pounds—while eating out and traveling.

After gaining weight back, M debated going on a GLP-1… but she didn’t qualify for one.

That’s when she reached back out to me and joined our 8-week program.

Now she’s down 13 pounds in 8 weeks and almost 20 pounds this year - while eating out and traveling.

She didn’t give up restaurants, cancel trips, or wait for the “perfect time” to start.

So what did she do?

I break it down in this episode. I’m walking you through exactly what helped one of my clients see real results—without calorie counting, without perfection, and without putting her life on hold.

We’re talking about the simple habits she focused on, how she navigated eating out and traveling without spiraling, and the mindset shifts that kept her going (even when the scale wasn’t moving).

Because here’s the truth: weight loss doesn’t happen when life is perfect—it happens when your habits fit into your real life.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How M lost 13 pounds while still eating out and traveling
• Why weight loss is NOT linear (and how to stop letting the scale mess with your head)
• The real reason her results finally clicked this time around
• How a simple breakfast shift led to big results
• Why taking pictures of your food can be more powerful than counting calories
• How consistency (not perfection) led to 13 pounds down
• The mindset shift that helped her stay on track—even after vacation and “off” weeks
• Why small changes + busy mom life = real, lasting results
