If you’ve ever set a deadline for your weight loss to hit a goal before a reunion, vacation, or wedding and ended up back where you started, this episode is for you. Lisa shares her own "destination dieting" story, why comparison hijacks your patience, and how to reframe your expectations around the scale. Progress isn’t about perfection or speed. It’s about building something you can sustain. So really, what’s your hurry?

What really happens after you lose 120 pounds?

Lisa shares what fueled her transformation, the pressure that followed, and how grit and grace have carried her through every season, from rock bottom to recovery—and everything in between.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re starting over again (and again), this episode is for you. Because it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress, perseverance, and learning to meet yourself with both grit and grace.
