In today’s show, we’re going to talk about why I absolutely not, nor thinking about getting on the bandwagon with the current popular Ketogenic eating style. I’ve been getting lots of questions about this eating style, it’s wildly popular, you’ve seen all over social media, and so in today’s show I’m diving deep into why I’m not eating that way, have no plans of eating that way, and things that you may want to consider as well. www.concitathomas.com/ep62/)

In today’s show, we’re going to talk about whether or not it’s true that it’s better to lose weight slowly. A lot of us have come to this conclusion or been convinced of this after being burned by diets and programs before. We’ve tried them, we’ve lost weight, sometimes significant weight, often times rapidly. But unfortunately also gained back, plus more. For most of us, each and every time. So we’ve come to the conclusion that we have to lose weight slowly if it’s going to last, and I want to talk to you today about whether or not that’s really true. http://www.concitathomas.com/ep61/

In today’s show, we’re going to talk about why I broke up with clean eating. This is a personal confession type episode, and what I hope is that by sharing my confession, you will be able to grab a couple of nuggets and apply it to your own situation. http://www.concitathomas.com/ep60/

In today’s show, you’re going to learn why a habit-based approach to weight loss isn’t working for you specifically. If you’ve been around here any length of time, you’ve heard me talk about “habits over diets” and why diets don’t work. You may have given habit-based weight loss a try and you may be thinking “Concita I don’t know what you’re talking about, it just does not work for me”. If you feel that way, definitely stick around for this episode. http://www.concitathomas.com/ep59/

In today’s show, you’re going to learn how to overcome out of control weekend eating. If you find that you eat amazingly Monday to Friday afternoon, and then it all starts to unravel by Friday night, then this is the episode for you. http://www.concitathomas.com/ep58/

In today’s show, we are going to figure out whether or not a daily walking routine could give you better results than your workout program. That’s right, you heard me right. It could just but be possible. http://www.concitathomas.com/ep57/

In today’s episode, we’re discussing all things emotions. Managing emotional turmoil, how to know when it’s too much and it’s time to see a professional, and exactly how managing your emotions or not, affects your weight loss journey. Joining us today is special guest, Licensed Professional Counselor, Theresa Braddy.

In today’s show, I’m going to give you the details on how I stopped growing out of my clothes while on vacation. Yup, I used to do that. Two sets of clothes packed in a suitcase. That was me, but not anymore. Tune in to as I share my strategies with you on how I put end to it.

In today’s show, we’re going to dive deep into a really important issue, and it’s how to find the confidence to truly go after your weight loss goals and get results. This episode is for anyone who has ever started weight loss journey and maybe felt like you’re kinda, sorta giving it your all, but not really and you can’t figure out why, or what to do about it. If that’s ever been you, or that’s you right now, then this episode is for you.

In today’s topic we’re going to talk about a topic you guys are always asking about and I brought on an expert. We’re going to talk about belly fat. EVERYTHING you need to know about it. Why we have it, how to get rid of it, how to not get it if you don’t have it. My special guest is Dr. Jade Teta today and this one is going to be a good one!

The Summer Session of Get it Off Keep it Off 1:1 Coaching is open for enrollment. However, the early action bonus expires on Friday.

Are you tired of going back and forth with your weight- giving up carbs to lose weight only to regain it when you eat carbs again?

Are you passing on your favorite foods in an attempt to keep your waistline intact?

If you wonder, or even secretly wish, there was a way to indulge in French fries and ice cream while getting and maintaining results, you can't afford to miss this episode. You'll be meeting Tiffany, my client who exceeded her weight loss goal and maintained the loss when she reintroduced fries, ice cream, and her other favorites into her daily diet.

In today’s show, I’m going to tell you exactly what I do to get back on track when I’ve gotten far away from where I need to be when it comes to my eating and my working out. If we’re being real, there are just times in life, usually because of emotions, where we just don’t feel like it and we don’t do even the things that are feasible and sustainable. It happens to us all, me too. Tune in as I share what I do to find my way back to the center when that happens.

Should you use a scale to track your results on your weight loss journey? I have found that the scale can be a great tool. However, if it's not used in conjunction with other tools or the correct perspective, it can greatly sabotage your results. Listen in now as I discuss when and how I believe a scale can be used to best support you on your weight loss journey. Episode Page: http://concitathomas.com/ep51

But, how in the world do you do that? Most of us struggle to get the support that we crave because we go about it all wrong. Demanding support and using guilt trips doesn't work. Most of us have tried that before. However, in today's show, my husband shares what does work. There are a few simple steps that make getting support from your spouse possible. As a matter of fact, it can be easy. Check out today's episode to find out more.

So many of us busy career women and female entrepreneurs struggle to lose weight, get in shape, and take care of our health because of the time involved. We don't have hours to spend at the gym. We don't have the time, or desire, to cook healthy meals for hours each week. However, that's not a bad thing. Our busy schedules can actually be a benefit. What would it look like if our lack of time actually set us up for success instead of struggle? That may not be what most of us experience but it is possible. In today's episode, I share exactly how to leverage your busy schedule so that it is a benefit instead of barrier to sustainable weight loss. Get the show notes here: http://concitathomas.com/ep49/

The struggle to maintain weight loss can be enough to make some of us give up on losing weight altogether. In this episode, learn why we struggle in the first place. Discover the steps you can take to finally keep the weight off for good.

I’m so excited for this show because it’s really just a straight to the point Q&A. I got this question from one our Fierce Friends online, and I want to address which foods you need to be avoiding for weight loss. If you were to Google “which foods should I avoid for weight loss?” You’d probably have over 3-4 million options and opinions to choose from. And if you read just four or five of them, you’d probably be utterly confused and feel like the answer was just to eat air. We know that’s not going to work. That’s not sustainable long term. So I want to clear up the confusion and really get real with you about which foods you need to be avoiding if your goal is to lose weight and to keep it off. And then I want to just totally squash the drama of all these things you’re being told that you should not eat, when that may not at all be the case for you.

In today’s show guys, we are jumping ahead a little bit to vacation season. We are talking about exactly how you can enjoy vacation food including the buffets and the resorts without gaining weight and without dieting. I’m so excited to be jumping into this topic because this was a struggle for me for years and I speak to so many ladies who also with weight gain on vacation, and I’m just super excited to be able to give you strategies so that you can enjoy your very next vacation, including the vacation food. And you can do that without gaining weight, and without dieting, counting, tracking or being in your head all the time.

In today’s show, I’ve got another one of my smarty-pants friends, Dr. Jillian Teta here. And we are going deep into the gut, literally. We’re going to talk about gut health, and weight loss, and what they have to do with each other; what you need to know, and where to start.

In today’s show, I’m going to take you inside of a weight loss journey freak-out moment. I think we have all been there if we’re honest. I know that I have. And to be honest, navigating these moments is hard. And for some of us, feels impossible. And sometimes, these freak-out moments, and our inability to navigate them well, or our lack of practice with navigating these moments, will take us out of the game. The reason why we lose that initial 10-20 Ibs, we have one of these moments and we stop. We think we can’t do it and we stop and we start again. We keep losing those same pounds over and over again. So today I’m taking you inside one of those moments. It happened with one of my clients I’m going to tell you how we navigated it, how we got her out of .that freak-out moment and then back on the path to consistent action and results.

In today’s show, we’re going to answer the question, is snacking a bad thing. I get tons of questions all the time about whether or not snacking is bad. Or some people just automatically assume that it is and they ask me what are my best tips if they want to stop snacking, and sometimes, they really don’t even need to stop snacking. So we’re going to jump into what snacking really is, and then we’re going to talk about whether or not it is bad for weight loss.

It's March already and in Texas that means that summer's just a few weeks away. So, I decided that it was time to get my body summer ready. Now before you wonder if I have completely flipped the script and turned into an infomercial, I want you to know that a summer ready body means different things for different people. It's not always about losing a ton of weight or trying to get a flat stomach to wear a 2-piece swimsuit. At one point in my life, that was what getting my body summer ready was all about. However now, having a summer ready body means so much more. Listen to this episode to learn what having a summer ready body means to me now and the changes that I'm making to my lifestyle, food, and workouts to get it.

There's a really straightforward reason why we smart ladies know exactly what to do yet still struggle to make it happen. The answer isn't more knowledge but instead seeking something that we rarely seek. Get the show notes here: http://concitathomas.com/ep37/

If that’s you; if you’re thinking “I’ve got some pounds and really want to get them off, I don’t want it to take all year, but I don’t want it to come right back either.” Then this is definitely the show for you.

Today we’re going to talk about how to lose weight for good without having to think about it all the time. I think most of us who want to lose weight want to keep it off, but I don’t think any of us want it to become another job. I don’t think any of us want it to become this thing that distracts us from the rest of our lives. So in today’s show, we’re going to talk about how to pull that off. How to get the weight to come off, stay off, and how to get that to happen kind of in the background of your life so that it’s running while everything else that you care about gets your attention as well.

Today we are talking about those pesky little plateaus. I don’t know about you but I really don’t like plateaus. I don’t think anybody does.

We are talking about how to prevent yourself from checking out on your weight loss journey. I’m really excited to talk about this topic because it’s just something that happens so often. I’ve been through it. I have watched friends go through it. I have supported clients who have had a tendency to want to do this. I’ve got solutions and Iäm happy to share those with you. So get out your pen and paper, you’re going to need it today.

In today’s show, I am interviewing a Rockstar coaching club client of mine Stephanie Greiner. She has had an amazing transformation, but even more than her transformation and her results, I just think that her story is really, really cool. She is determined and I love her “get-it-done” attitude. I think you’ll find her super inspiring and I can’t wait for you guys to meet her. I’m sure she’s going to drop some gems too so get a paper and pen out.

In today’s show, we’re going to be talking about exactly what to do when your time blocks stop working and you’re overwhelmed and behind deadline. I’m going to give you the exact steps that I take; that I’ve taken very recently, a couple of weeks ago; to get things back on track, to get back to the center, and to get back to that place where things are simple and not so stressful; and where you’re executing on what you need to and fitting in the things that you want to.

In today’s show, I have a special guest, Jill Coleman and we are going deep into how to stop obsessing over food so that you can get results and keep results. If you ever feel like you can exercise but just can’t get the food part right, you may not think it’s food obsession, but you definitely want to tune into this episode because I’m sure that there will be plenty of gems dropped that you can collect to affect your results.

In today’s show we’re diving deep into a topic that I think, probably everyone listening to this can relate to. This show was inspired by a listener’s question over in Concita’s Fierce Friends which is our free support group, and it’s all about how she wants results, wants to lose weight, wants to position herself to continue to have optimal health. However some of the things that she observes the leaner females doing; some of the things which seem like what needs to be done in order for her to get those results. She’s not interested in doing at all. She didn’t want to become that girl. Here’s my insight.

In today’s show, we are talking about “does it really take all of that?” The lies we’ve been told about what it takes to lose weight. We are busting up the weight loss wizardry here, we are setting ourselves free from the mess that we’ve been told, the Simply is not the case all the time for all the people. You don’t have to fall for it anymore.

In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about how simply changing the order, that’s right, the order in which you eat food at your meal can actually reduce your chance of overeating. We’re not talking about swapping out this or that or changing anything in your meal, other than how you eat the meal. Sounds crazy, sounds like “how in the world can this work?” But true story, I use it, my clients use it, it works.

In today’s show, we’re going to talk about how you can lose weight anyway, even if you are the type that is always hungry. You may have heard me mention this before, if you know me in real life, then you absolutely know this to be true. I have a big appetite! I am not one of those girls who goes out, orders a salad, and half an appetizer and calls that dinner. I have a large appetite. And in the past that has stood in the way and made it really challenging for me to lose weight. Before I learned how to work with that appetite instead of working against it. So if you find that you want to lose weight and you always seem to be overtaken by your hunger, and your hunger gets the best of you, and that makes you struggle, then stick around. Today’s episode is for you.

Today we are going to talk about how to stop having those “It wasn’t even worth it” moments when it comes to food. Have you ever had one of those? You literally planned on it, you got all excited about maybe the dessert, or whatever it was. You had it and it just wasn’t all that. You maybe even wish you didn’t have it because now let’s just face it, the calories are down the hatchet, the fat is down the hatchet, the sugar is down the hatchet. It’s going to do whatever it’s going to do, but you did not get the enjoyment that you were planning on getting from that food item. And there’s a simple tool that I have to share with you that can stop that for good.

Today we’re getting into the nitty-gritty - all about how to lose weight, exactly how to do it without giving up good food. Can we just be real for a minute? Most of us appreciate food. We like good food, we want to keep eating it, and most of the ways we’ve been taught to lose weight, have to do with giving it up. And no matter how that program is wrapped up. No matter how much is disguised as a lifestyle. The bottom line is that for most of us if we are going to lose the weight if we are indeed going to keep it off; then that means figuring out how to do it without giving up good food so that we can do it forever and keep the weight off. And that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today.

Do you know why some people seem to move from desire to achievement when it comes to sustainable weight loss while others remain stuck somewhere in the middle? In this episode, I share three milestones that I believe everyone who achieves sustainable weight loss must pass and where some people get stuck forever. 00:00: Introduction 04:04: Milestone #1 07:11: Milestone #2 11:36: Milestone #3 16:56: Fierce Follow Through
