The Weight Loss Podcast

The Weight Loss Podcast is for people who want to learn and build the skills, traits, habits and mindset necessary to not just "lose weight", but to become the person that can keep it off, improve upon their results if they desire and become fully self-sufficient with their health, exercise, nutrition and overall habits. We best help people who are tired of the diet/program merry-go-round, want to cut out the noise and double-speak and focus on a real-world, common-sense approach that takes away the guesswork, understands their struggles, treats them like adults and sets them up for life.
- 266 - How to track without counting calories
You've done the counting.
Calories, macros, points, the little scale on the kitchen bench.
You got REALLY good at it, if we're honest.
And you're STILL stuck.
Still tired by 3pm, still dodging the camera, still guessing why nothing shifts when you're "doing everything right."
So this week we're just going to come out and say it. You DO NOT need to count a single calorie to change your body.
Matt's gone 16 years and NEVER once put a client on a calorie counting app...and he's about to show you exactly what hedoes instead.
It takes about 30 seconds a meal.
No calculator, no barcode scanning, no slaving over numbers that teach you NOTHING. Who knew.
Because a calorie total gives you exactly one thing...how much you ate.
The why behind it, the bit you could actually fix? Hasn't got a clue.
2 days can score exactly the same on paper and hide 2 completely different problems...and the number will NEVER see it.
Come and join us as we deep dive into how to actually read your own eating, so you stop guessing and start knowing what's holding you back.
• Why calorie counting always dies off, usually before it's taught you a single thing about yourself
• The 2 food diaries that both score 3 out of 5 and hide 2 totally different problems (one's a sleep problem, one's a prepproblem)
• Why "steak and veg" scribbled in your notes app tells a coach absolutely nothing
• The 40% of your week most people NEVER record, and why it's the exact part that matters most
• The one thing a meal plan can never teach you: how food actually makes YOUR body feel
• "If you're doing everything right and you're not changing, you're not doing everything right." Where the holes really hide
• How 7 days of honest recording tells you more than a YEAR of counting ever did
• The one number Matt still swears by (and no, it's not on the scale)
Mentioned in this episode:
"How long will it take me to lose weight?"
We have the tool that helps you answer this exact question.
You won't like the answer, but it will be the truth!

Sun, 26 Jul 2026 - 41min - 265 - 99% of People Warm Up Wrong. Here's the Right Way.
You show up.
Even on the days you would rather not.
You put your bag down, you get your session done, you go home.
And you have wondered more than once whether all that effort is actually paying off like it should...
Or if you are just doing what everyone else in the room is doing and hoping it works.
Now for the awkward part...
99% of people in the gym warm up completely wrong, and have no idea they are doing it.
A quick jog on the treadmill before chest day.
Or nothing at all, straight under the bar, cold.
Either way, you have been leaving performance on the table and raising your risk of injury without realising it.
This week Matt hands over the exact warm-up protocol he has used with every client since 2010, the one he calls a cheat code because it works every single time.
Come and join us as we deep dive into...
• Why jogging on the treadmill before a weight session warms up the wrong body entirely (make it make sense!)
• The funeral we are holding for treadmill warm-ups, endless pyramid sets, and R.I.P. to the trainer who told you to jog for 10 minutes before your chest session
• The 5-set cheat code that primes you to lift heavier every session, in under 10 minutes
• Why more warm-up actually makes you weaker, and the sweet spot most people blow straight past
• The 550kg leg press lesson: what happens when you walk in cold and load the bar anyway
• How the warm-up doubles as free practice, so your form is dialled in before the set that counts
• The gym habit that, once you see it, you cannot unsee (start counting how many people around you are getting it wrong)
Mentioned in this episode:
The Warm-up Calculator. Our free tool.
Tell it what you lifted last session and it hands you your exact 5 warm-up sets, weight and reps, for that exercise. No maths, no spreadsheet, no guessing.

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 - 47min - 264 - Stop weighing yourself, do this instead.
The scale goes up a couple of kilos, and just like that, the day changes.
Breakfast gets skipped.
An extra workout you don’t have the energy for gets bolted on.
That number has been making your decisions for you. And not very good ones.
And the one thing that would actually show you if your body is changing? You’ve been dodging it for years.
Because you don’t love how you look right now. So out of sight, out of mind.
This week, we take the scale off you completely.
Matt hasn’t weighed a client since 2010, and he walks you through exactly what he uses instead: a free, repeatable system that tells you, in an honest apples to apples way, whether your body is actually changing.
Come and join us as we get into…
• Why the scale sabotages more progress than anything else, and how that number starts making your decisions for you
• Why progress photos are a legitimate skill, and how most people (plenty of trainers included) screw them up
• The number one mistake by a mile, and the “pick and stick” rule that makes your photos actually count
• Why you’ll feel the change before you ever see it, and the small wins to watch for while you wait
• Courtney on the before photos she refused to look at, and why you take them anyway
• How often to shoot them, and what to do when the task lands on “whale week”

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 - 53min - 263 - How long does it actually take to lose weight?
You’ve lost the same weight more times than you can count.
You’ve started on a Monday, gone hard, and watched it fall apart by week three.
You’ve asked the one question everyone asks: how long is this actually going to take?
And every answer you’ve been handed felt like a sales pitch.
6 weeks. 12 weeks. 28 days.
Deep down, you already knew none of them were telling you the truth.
Come and join us as we deep dive into the honest answer no one in this industry wants to give you, and the tool that finally makes your real timeline clear…
• Why the “6 to 12 weeks” promise is the hook that keeps you starting over
• The real reason you fixate on the number, and how it blinds you to the work that actually moves the needle
• Why quick fixes only ever shrink one thing: your bank account
• The Metabolic Classification, the 2-minute check we’ve run for 16 years to give people an honest timeline insteadof a guess
• Why you’ll feel the change 4 to 6 weeks before you ever see it
• Losing the weight is only half the job. The elephant in the room is keeping it off
• Matt’s 2.5 years (and 2 rebounds), and what those years actually taught him
• Why “longer than you want” is the most freeing thing a coach can tell you

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 - 1h 03min - 262 - 10 signs your coach is stealing your money
You've paid for the coach.
You followed the plan to the letter.
You did the check-ins, sent the photos, ticked every box they handed you.
Then the program ended and you were back where you started, lighter in the wallet and not much else.
Somewhere in there you started to wonder if you're just the one who can't be helped...
You're not.
You just couldn't tell the good coaches from the ones happily taking your money every month.
Come and join us as we deep dive into the 10 red flags your coach is ripping you off, and the 10 green flags that tell you they're worth every cent...
• Why a cookie-cutter meal plan teaches you nothing, and what real nutrition coaching looks like instead
• The "custom" plan that was generated by AI in 30 seconds and sold to you as bespoke
• Check-in theatre: the copy-paste "great work, keep going!" that feels like accountability and changes nothing
• The coach who only ever tells you what you want to hear, and why a yes-coach keeps you stuck
• Why "no real qualifications" is everywhere when the word coach isn't protected and anyone can claim it
• The reddest flag of them all: a business model built on you never being able to leave
• Vanity metrics, and why a sleek funnel and a million followers are not proof anyone can actually coach
• The green flags worth paying for, every single time

Sun, 28 Jun 2026 - 1h 02min - 261 - You know what to do. So why can't you do it? (5 excuses getting in your way)
You know what to do.
You've known for years.
You can run a household, hold down a job, keep everyone else's life on the rails.
So why does this one thing keep beating you?
"I know what to do. I just can't do it."
If you've ever caught yourself saying that, this episode is for you.
Because every time you start, you mean it. And every time, the same five excuses show up to talk you out of it.
The ones that sound like solid reasons.
The ones that have come out of our mouths too, more times than we'd like to admit.
So this week we name them, and we hand you the tools to take them down.
No finger-pointing. No shiny-object fluff.
Come and join us as we deep dive into...
• "It's not my fault, it's my condition": your endo, PCOS or menopause is real, and the moment it becomes a shield for stopping
• "It's not happening fast enough": why you will not be the exception, and why slow and boring is the version that actually lasts
• "Why are they losing and I'm not": run your own race, take others as inspiration, and measure only against the you from six months ago
• "I just don't have the time": the priorities truth nobody wants to hear, and how you build the confidence by stacking up evidence of doing the thing
• "I'm too old, too injured, too something": why "too old" is junk, why "too injured" is usually fear talking, and the one rule that beats both
• The all-or-nothing Monday restart that wrecks your week, and the five-minute reset that stops it
• The one sentence sitting underneath all five excuses, and what to actually do about it

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 - 1h 06min - 260 - You don't have to eat food you hate to lose weight
You've started more eating plans than you can count.
And you've quit nearly every one.
You probably put it down to willpower.
...but look closer.
Most of those plans, you walkedaway from for the same reason…
You hated the food.
Or you got so bored of it you couldn't face another bite.
There's a name for it, and almost nobody warns you about it.
Food boredom.
This week we break down why it keeps happening, and how to fix it without giving up the foods you love.
Come and join us as we deep dive into…
• The three things that drive food boredom: deprivation, habit, and bland and boring (and how to spot eachone in your own eating)
• Why 99% of people do not need a meal plan, and the only kind of person who does
• The reason cutting a food without replacing it sends you straight to a binge
• The food diary tells that give it away: the 4pm rabbit food, the 9pm ice cream, the meals you prep and never touch, the weekend that reads like a different person
• Why "clean eating" is the trap that has you off the rails by Saturday
• How to build endless variety into the same few meals you already love
• The one rule we will die on: food should never be a chore

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 - 53min - 259 - The person who got you here won’t get you out
You’ve tried everything.
Nothing’s really stuck.
And the version of you reading this is probably pretty frustrated by it all.
Somewhere along the way, all those failed attempts stopped being things that happened to you and became part of who you are.
"This is just what I do."
"This is just who I am."
Here’s the hard truth we open the episode on…the person who got you here won’t be the one who gets you out.
So we go looking for what’s really been working against you, probably without you even realising it.
And we walk you through the model we use to dig it out, one layer at a time.
No surface-level fixes. No shiny-object fluff.
Come and join us as we deep dive into…
• Why the person who got you here won’t be the one who gets you out, and what that means for your next attempt
• The triangle model: known and spoken problems, known and unspoken, then the unknown and unspoken stuff buried at the base
• Why weight is the symptom, and the real problem is sitting underneath it
• The inside-out approach, and why every program that fixes you from the outside in eventually slides back
• “Who do I need to become?” The one question that rebuilds you from the core
• The snap: the moment change becomes non-negotiable, and how you actually know you’ve hit it
• Why none of this is your fault…but it is still your problem to fix

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 - 58min - 258 - How to trust yourself again
You've done more diets than you care to admit, let alone count.
You've started again on so many Mondays you can't even remember all of them.
As these failed attempts piled up, somewhere along the way you created and cemented the identity and belief as being someone who starts but never finishes.
The person who goes well...right up until the wheels fall off.
And any trust you had in yourself slowly eroded away.
In this episode we break down why this is such a massive problem, and where the best places are to start to build up that trust in yourself again...or for the first time.
Come and join us as we deep dive into...
- Why "just be consistent" is abysmal advice that misses the actual problem
- The weight loss industrial complex, and how the repeat-buyer model profits from your distrust
- Why you've stopped trusting yourself and don't even realise it (it hides as stress, worry, and self-sabotage)
- The trust bank account: small promises kept, compounding into real self-trust
- Why doing beats knowing every single time, and why vision boards and manifesting won't save you
- How we claw it back after going backwards, without destroying the trust we've already built
- The micro-promise method: one day, then a week, then you stack it
- Why doing the thing (the work!) creates the identity, and the identity sustains the doing

Sun, 31 May 2026 - 52min - 257 - I'll start Monday (again)
You’ve been telling yourself you’ll start Monday for three weeks. Maybe longer.
The gym bag’s been in the boot since the 4th.
The fridge has the same three vegetables it did at Christmas.
And every morning, the same thought: tomorrow I’ll get back to it.
This episode is about what to actually do when you’ve quietly fallen off, and what the on-off cycle is costing you that’s bigger than the kilos.
We talk about the silent slide, the difference between a mistake and quitting, why your goals are probably set up to fail before you start, and the single first move to get rolling again without trying to fix everything at once.
If you’ve been writing the week off since Tuesday, this is the one to press play on.
What You’ll Learn
Why “I’ll start Monday” is the lie that keeps you stuck in the reset cycleThe silent slide: how complacency creeps in and you don’t notice until your clothes feel differentMistakes vs quitting vs failure, and why getting this wrong wastes yearsThe goal-setting trap: wanting something vs thinking you need itWhy starting back at the gym beats starting back with foodThe lowest hanging fruit move that gets your confidence back fastHow to give yourself permission to try again without dragging the last attempt with youBeen listening for a while and want the full picture?
We made a comprehensive training that walks through the four biggest reasons people stay stuck in the weight loss cycle and what to do instead to make sure you are moving in the right direction consistently.

You know the cycle. You start strong. You fall off. You start again. And every time you start, it feels heavier than the time before.
This episode is the mirror you have been avoiding.
We walk you through the 8 stages every long-term changer moves through, from the bottom rung where you pretend nothing is wrong, to the top where you do whatever it takes.
We share where we each got stuck, for how long, and what knocked us up to the next stage. Listen with one question in mind: where am I really?

Sun, 10 May 2026 - 3h 45min - 255 - Hard Truths About Weight Loss You Won't Like
This week we’re handing out reality checks. The kind nobody in the fitness industry wants to give you, because they’re worried it’ll scare you off. Sorry, not sorry.
We’ve coached hundreds of people. We’ve lived this ourselves. The truth is that almost every weight loss journey hits the same wall, and almost no one prepares you for it. Knowing what’s coming won’t make the work easier. It will stop you blowing yourself up the first time things don’t go to plan.
This one is for you if you’re tired of being told it’ll be quick, easy, and fun. It won’t be. Here’s what it actually takes.
What You’ll Learn
Why the timeline you have in your head is wrong, and what’s actually realisticThe mistake that derails almost every first-timer in the first 12 weeksWhy “knowing what to do” hasn’t worked yet, and what actually closes the gapThe hidden cost of the people closest to you not being on board with your changesHow over-celebrating a small win can stall your progress for monthsThe difference between your best and what’s actually required to hit your goalWhy keeping a result is harder than getting one, and why nobody warns youBeen listening for a while and want the full picture?

Sun, 03 May 2026 - 2h 06min - 254 - 15 Signs You're Stuck in a Diet Mindset
You've started over more Mondays than you can count. You've tried calorie counting, keto, shakes, fasting, the lot. Some of it worked for a bit. None of it stuck.
In this episode we break down the 15 thought patterns that keep people trapped in the on/off cycle. We're not pitching a program. We're naming the mindset that quietly runs the show. If a diet worked, you wouldn't need to do another one.
We've been there. Between us we've lost 105kg and 11 clothing sizes, and we've coached hundreds of people through the same patterns. None of this is theory. It's lived experience and years of client work, laid out so you can recognise yourself in the list.
What You'll Learn
The 15 thought patterns that quietly keep you stuck (count how many you nod at)Why "I'll start Monday" is the most expensive sentence in weight lossThe 10 excuses we've heard most often, and used ourselvesWhy no single way of eating is right for everyone, and how to find what fits youThe honest time expectation no one wants to hear at the startHow to stop white-knuckling your way through and build something you can actually keepCourtney's take on what kept her going when motivation completely vanishedBeen listening for a while and want the full picture?

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 - 2h 48min - 253 - Why you keep starting over
You’ve started again. And again. And again.
This episode is about why.
We dig into the real reason so many people stay stuck in the on-off cycle. Not lack of willpower, not the wrong program, not bad timing. It’s an identity gap. And until you close it, nothing sticks. We break down the 6 signs you’re genuinely ready to change and the 6 signs you’re not, including the subtle ones most people miss in themselves.
This one might sting. Good.

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 - 2h 35min - 252 - When trying harder is the problem
What if the thing holding you back… is how hard you're trying?
In this episode, we're unpacking two things almost no one talks about on a weight loss journey: obsession with the end result, and the burnout that quietly follows.
We get into what it actually looks like to fixate on one body part, one number, one dress size — and how that tunnel vision pulls you into self-sabotage before you even realise it's happening.
Courtney shares how she spent years only looking at her stomach in the mirror, completely blind to the progress everywhere else. If you've been there, you'll feel this one.
We also break down:
👉 Why the "finish line" mentality is one of the most damaging traps in weight loss
👉 How shifting to small, process-driven wins is what actually creates lasting change
👉 What burnout really looks like — and why most people don't recognise it until they've gone radio silent on their goals
👉 A practical toolkit for preventing and recovering from burnout: non-negotiables, sleep, stress reprogramming, and human connection
This one is equal parts honest and actionable.
Because prevention is always easier than the cure. And you deserve the best of yourself — not just the leftovers.

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 - 1h 17min - 251 - Stop Winging It (Why you're not getting results in the gym)
Here's the truth most people won't tell you…
Walking into the gym without a plan isn't "flexibility." It's the reason you're not seeing results.
In this episode, we're talking about why so many people spend months (sometimes years) training hard and getting nowhere. Courtney shares how she used to avoid the weights area entirely — not because she was lazy, but because she didn't know what the hell she was doing.
She stuck to the treadmill, got zero results, and eventually gave up... until a simple, structured plan changed everything.
We break down:
👉 Why "winging it" is keeping you stuck — and what to do instead
👉 The "more is better" trap — and why overtraining is far more dangerous than under-training
👉 How to find YOUR training sweet spot (because it looks different for everyone)
👉 Why fitness influencers showing five-day training splits are doing you zero favours
👉 The role of data collection — because if you haven't tracked it, you don't actually know what's working
👉 How your gym performance is your body's most honest feedback
If you've been showing up but not seeing progress — or you're standing frozen on the gym floor wondering where to start — this one's for you.
Start smart. Not big.

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 - 2h 18min - 250 - The 6 forms of guilt keeping you stuck
You know what we see when we look at someone who's overweight and struggling?
We don't see someone who's selfish.
We see someone who hasn't been selfish enough.
In this episode, we're breaking down the 6 forms of guilt that quietly run the show behind your food choices, your training, your social life… and even your wins.
Most people don't realise guilt is driving the bus — they just feel stuck, frustrated, and caught in the same loops.
This episode changes that.
We're covering everything from the people-pleaser trap (where everyone else's needs come before yours) to the one nobody expects — feeling guilty about actually succeeding.
If you've ever skipped the gym to help someone else, written off a whole week because of one bad meal, or downplayed your own progress so you don't make someone uncomfortable… this one's for you.
What you'll learn:
- Why the most selfless people often struggle the most with their health — and what to do about it
- The perfectionism trap that turns one small slip into a full-blown spiral
- How to walk into social events with a plan instead of walking out with regret
- Why emotional eating isn't a character flaw (and what it actually is)
- The "all or nothing" guilt cycle that's keeping you stuck — and how to break it
- The surprising form of guilt that makes people sabotage their own success

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 - 2h 52min - 249 - 10 ways to stay consistent (even when you don't feel like it)
You know what kills more results than a bad plan? Starting and stopping. Over and over again.
If you've ever gone hard for a few weeks, lost steam, fallen off, and then waited until Monday (or next month, or January) to start again… this episode is going to hit different. Because we're not just talking about why consistency matters — we're breaking down exactly how to build it into your life so it actually sticks.
This is one of those episodes where we lay out 10 practical strategies you can use straight away — whether your goal is fat loss, fitness, or just getting out of the on-again-off-again cycle for good. No fluff. No motivation speeches. Just real structure you can follow even on your worst days.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why your "why" matters more than your workout plan — and how to find one that actually holds up when things get hard

In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, we pull apart what’s really going on when you feel like you have to do everything perfectly or there’s no point doing anything at all.

- How “I’ll start when things calm down” keeps you stuck for years.
- The power of a few simple non-negotiables – tiny anchors that keep you steady when life gets chaotic.
- How to build a routine that fits your real life, not the fantasy version in your head.
If you’re sick of starting strong and crashing a few weeks later, or feeling like the only way to change is to run yourself into the ground, this episode will help you swap doing it all for doing what matters…consistently.

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 - 2h 15min - 243 - Mindful Eating, the Golden Triangle & Why Diets Fail You
If every food decision in your day boils down to “Is this going to make me fat?”…you’re not alone.
In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, we dig into what it actually means to be a mindful eater – and why the real question isn’t “Will this make me gain weight?” but “How will this make me look, function and feel?”
We chat about:
- The difference between eating on autopilot vs genuinely paying attention to how food affects your energy, digestion, mood and recovery.
- “Bread belly”, booze bloat and why some foods now hit you like a truck once you’ve cleaned things up.
- Fuel shifts – what’s really happening when you drop the processed carbs, then feel awful after a blowout meal.
- Our simple Golden Triangle test (how you look, how you function, how you feel) to judge any plan or program.
- Pulling apart gimmicks like the Cookie Diet and 5:2 shake plans using common sense, not desperation.
If you’ve spent years jumping on every new diet, ignoring how horrible you feel as long as the scales move, this conversation will help you start asking a better question:~
“Is this way of eating actually healing me…inside and out?”
Hit play to learn how to think for yourself in a noisy diet world – and build a way of eating you can live with for more than 12 weeks.

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 - 57min - 242 - Living in a Body I Hated: How I Lost 80kg and Took My Life Back
As a teenager, Matt quietly ate his way into obesity, anxiety and isolation.
By his twenties he was avoiding mirrors, dodging social events, and pretending everything was fine…right up until a type 2 diabetes diagnosis and an emotional breaking point forced him to choose: change, or keep disappearing.
In this raw, no-BS episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, Courtney interviews Matt about:
- Growing up in a home where food, habits and environment quietly steered him towards massive weight gain
- What it was really like living in a body he hated – panic in public, fear of being seen, using humour to hide
- Hearing the words “type 2 diabetes” and realising no one was coming to save him
- How he rebuilt his life with simple structure, long-term thinking and a lot of very unsexy repetition
- Losing over 80kg, getting strong, reversing diabetes…then facing a new enemy: complacency
This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the messy, uncomfortable truth about change: the false starts, the shame, the wins that no one sees, and the work that continues long after the weight comes off.
If you feel “too far gone”, terrified of failing again, or stuck in your own head about where to start, Matt’s story will show you what’s possible when you stop waiting for the perfect moment and start backing yourself today. 🎧

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 - 1h 16min - 239 - Season 13 - From diet pills at 8 to strong for life
At 8 years old, Ricci was put on diet pills.
By 29, she’d spent her entire twenties feeling ashamed of her body, convinced that if she wasn’t suffering…she wasn’t really trying.
In this interview, Ricci sits down with us to share how she went from:
- Growing up with a “starve yourself” mentality and early diet trauma
- ADHD, impatience, all-or-nothing thinking and constant self-criticism
- The fear of never having set foot in a gym
…to over 2.5 years of growing consistency, lifting regularly, fuelling her body, and becoming woman and mother she wants her kids to see.
We talk about:
- The moment she realised: “Nobody is coming to save me.”
- How she stopped equating “progress” with misery and hunger
- What actually changed when she got outside accountability and a long-term plan
- Learning to give herself credit instead of moving the goalposts every time she achieved something
- Why buying “temporary” clothes for her changing body became a powerful act of self-respect
If you grew up around diet culture, feel broken by years of quick fixes, or secretly wonder if you’ll ever “get it together”…Ricci’s story will hit hard—in the best way.
🎧 Press play to hear what’s possible when you stop chasing 12-week miracles and start backing yourself for the long haul.

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 - 1h 15min - 238 - Season 13 - How to stay consistent when life keeps punching you in the face
Every time you start “for real” something happens – sick kid, work crisis, no sleep, family drama – and suddenly your perfect plan is in the bin…again. Then it’s back to, “I’ll start properly when life calms down.”
Here’s the truth: life isn’t going to calm down. So this episode is about learning how to stay consistent while it’s punching you in the face.
In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast we break down...
- What consistency really is in the real world (hint: it’s not 100% perfect forever).
- How to work with your current life season instead of pretending you’re living in a fantasy one.
- How to build a realistic “floor, not ceiling” – bare minimums you can hit even on awful days.
- How to create your own “punch in the face plan” so when shit happens, you already know your next move.
- Why trying to do this as a solo hero is keeping you stuck, and how to start getting actual support.
If you’ve been stuck in the loop of “on/off, good/bad, perfect/faceplant”, this episode will help you swap guilt and drama for a calmer, more grown-up version of consistency that fits your messy, real life – not someone else’s highlight reel.

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 - 1h 02min - 237 - Season 13 - 5 questions to ask before changing your plan
You’ve tried so many plans it’s hard to even remember them all. It feels like you've done everything.
Each one starts the same: new plan, new me.…until life happens, the scale bounces, and you quietly decide, “This isn’t working, I need a different plan.”
In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast we’re talking about 5 questions to ask before you change your plan – so you stop starting over every few weeks and months and finally give yourself a fair chance to succeed.
We dive into...
- How to know if your plan is actually “broken”…or if you’re just not following it often enough to judge it.
- What “enough time” really looks like for results (hint: it’s not 10 days of being perfect).
- How unrealistic expectations are secretly wrecking your motivation.
- Why your sleep, stress and environment matter just as much as your food and training.
- When you truly do need to tweak the plan…and when you actually need support, not another set of rules.
If you’re sick of feeling like a “plan-hopper” who never sticks to anything, this episode will give you a calm, practical way to decide what to do next...without burning more time, money and energy on yet another restart.

Sun, 28 Dec 2025 - 53min - 236 - Season 13 - Why people can't keep the weight off
How many times have you lost the weight…only to watch it slowly creep back on again?
If you feel like you’ve “tried everything” and still end up back where you started, this episode is for you.
In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, we unpack why people can’t keep it off – even when they’re actually pretty good at losing it in the first place.
We dive into...
- Why chasing short-term goals (weddings, summers, events) quietly sets you up to regain.
- How extreme, unsustainable programs teach you a shitload about dieting…but nothing about maintaining.
- The sneaky way compliments and early progress make you take your foot off the pedal.
- The deeper reasons the weight went on in the first place – habits, history, and the stories you picked up when you were younger.
- How warped expectations (“this should be easy and linear”) stop you building the resilience you actually need.
You’ll walk away with practical ways to...
- Shift from “12-week fix” to “years and decades”.
- Use your past yo-yo attempts as data, not evidence you’re broken.
- Start addressing the real reasons you struggle to keep it off.

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 - 1h 03min - 228 - Mindset, Essential Superpowers & Why It's About More Than Just Weight Loss
In this three-part stretch of The Weight Loss Podcast, Matt and Courtney dive beneath the surface of weight lossto explore the habits, mindset, and emotional resilience that truly drive transformation.
Matt and Courtney identify the four “real-life superpowers” that separate those who transform from those who quit: These qualities, Matt argues, matter more than any diet plan or workout routine — they are the foundation of every lasting transformation.
They share personal stories, coaching insights, and a few laughs as they explore why weight loss is never just about food or fitness — it’s about your mindset, habits, and how you handle life when it gets messy.
Because when you change the person, the results always follow.
Or as Matt puts it best:
“The shape you’re in is a reflection of what you’ve been doing — and who you’ve been being. Change the person, and the result will follow.”
Across these episodes, Matt and Courtney hammer home a consistent truth: Weight loss is the byproduct of mindset mastery.
To succeed long-term, you need to:
Develop resilience to push through discomfort.
Build consistency through imperfect but persistent effort.
Take accountability for your time and choices.
Practice honesty — with yourself, your coach, and your habits.
Address the real issues beneath the surface: stress, priorities, emotions, and self-neglect.
Matt’s philosophy reframes motivation:
“When your goals are tied to something emotionally powerful—whether it’s pride, relief, or personal growth—you don’t need to chase motivation. The emotional weight of the goal carries you forward.”

Sun, 29 Oct 2023 - 36min - 201 - Season 10 - How to lose weight without counting calories
In this episode of the show, we deep dive into the transformative concept of Calorie Awareness.
Instead of stressing over numbers each day, this approach emphasises learning and understanding the energy and nutritional value in the foods we consume. By drawing comparisons between the caloric and nutritional content of fast-food items and wholesome homemade meals, we shed light on making mindful, healthier choices without the need to crunch numbers on a daily basis.
Central to this strategy is the importance of nurturing good eating habits. Tracking and refining these habits provides a clearer path to sustainable weight loss. Moreover, being attuned to the quality of nutrients in our meals can be a game-changer, further reducing reliance on rigid calorie counting whilst also increasing your knowledge into the choices you make regularly.
To support you in learning this approach that has changed our lives as well as the lives of our clients, we highlight a free course available in The Weight Loss Podcast app. This fantastic free resource provides deeper insights into calorie awareness methodology, equipping you with the tools needed to impement this approach into your life and free yourself from the mental gymnastics of calorie counting.
To learn more about calorie awareness, CLICK HERE to sign up for our FREE weight loss course!

Sun, 22 Oct 2023 - 49min - 200 - Season 10 - The benefits of structured training
We've all been there – fired up, heading to the gym, only to wonder, "Now what?" In this episode, we dive deep into the difference between just "winging it" at the gym versus following a structured training plan. We all know someone (or maybe it's even you!) who walks into the gym, scans the room, and just goes with the flow. While there’s a time and place for spontaneity, the gym isn’t it – especially if you’re serious about seeing results!
“Winging it” can be a major pitfall, and even more so when it's endorsed by a personal trainer. That approach? Well, it's a straight path to inconsistent workouts, dwindling motivation, and stalled progress. The remedy? Structure. When you have a proper plan in place, not only does it cut the intimidation factor of the gym, but it also boosts confidence, accountability, and most importantly, progression. Whether it's amping up your strength, flexibility, or overall coordination, a structured approach ensures you’re always moving forward in a measurable way.
But how do you add that crucial structure? We're laying it all out, from weight training frequency to the nitty-gritty details of sets, reps, and equipment choices. And here's a spoiler: it’s not about the quantity but the quality and consistency of your sessions. Dive into the episode for a step-by-step guide, including a 12-week challenge that might just revolutionise your gym game. With structured training, the sky's the limit. Time to get strategic and see the gains!

It's that time again, where we answer YOUR questions!
"Now that I know how bad artificial sweeteners are for me, do you have any tips on sweeteners? I’d love to just go back to using something natural like sugar in moderation, but I’m afraid that I’ve spoiled my taste buds by using the artificial stuff all this time!"
"Why is it harder to lose weight as you get older?"
"Some people people say the body can't be in a deficit and build muscle at the same time. I've also heard that working out while losing weight the main goal is to maintain your current muscle not build muscle. Would love some elaboration!"
"What vitamins/supplements should I be taking regularly?"
"What do you guys think about Ozempic for weight loss?"
"Is more reps and less weight or more weight and less reps better?"
"I'm a very picky eater... I don't like A LOT of foods... Especially vegetables... Is it ok for me to just eat the same healthy foods I do like, such as broccoli, asparagus, green beans etc... Or do I have to start eating foods that I hate too to reach my goals"
"How do you stay focused when life gets busy?"

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 - 47min - 193 - Season 9 - Courtney's Biggest Challenges Pt 3
In this episode of the show, we delve into the continued journey of Courtney's transformation, focusing on her ongoing challenges and how she overcomes them. Join us as we explore the final three significant areas: imposter syndrome, poor food variety, and anxiety.
Courtney opens up about her experience with imposter syndrome, a common struggle that many of us face along the way. She discusses the feelings of self-doubt and insecurity that often arise when pursuing personal goals. Learn about how Courtney confronted imposter syndrome head-on and developed effective strategies to overcome these limiting beliefs, enabling her to grow and thrive.
Another challenge Courtney addresses is the issue of poor food variety. She shares her own experiences with feeling stuck in a monotonous eating routine and the impact it had on her progress. She speaks about how she introduced a diverse range of healthy, delicious foods into her diet, creating excitement and satisfaction without compromising her goals.
Fianlly, anxiety is a prevalent concern that can stop a weight loss journey in its tracks, and Courtney candidly discusses her struggles with this issue. She provides valuable insights into managing anxiety and shares practical techniques that have helped her navigate the emotional challenges associated with weight loss.
As we like to do, we discuss the problems themselves and how they affected Courtney, and probably you too, but most importantly we offer practical advice and strategies to improve in these areas.

Sun, 04 Jun 2023 - 59min - 192 - Season 9 - Courtney's Biggest Challenges Pt 2
In this episode of the show, we continue to delve into Courtney's weight loss journey, focusing on her ongoing challenges and how she has navigated them. Join us as we explore three key areas: complacency, listening to noise, and comparing herself to others.
Courtney opens up about her struggle with complacency and the self-criticism that often accompanies it. She shares her experiences of reaching certain milestones and then falling into a sense of contentment, only to realise that she had more work to do. Discover how Courtney overcame complacency and developed strategies to stay motivated and focused on her long-term goals.
Another challenge Courtney addresses is the issue of listening to noise. She discusses how external influences, societal pressures, and conflicting information can cloud our judgement and derail our progress. Learn how she learned to filter out the noise, tune into her own intuition, and make choices that align with her personal goals and values.
Comparing oneself to others is a common challenge on the weight loss journey, and Courtney shares her own struggles in this area. She discusses the dangers of comparing progress, appearance, or success to others, and how it can lead to self-doubt and discouragement. Discover how Courtney shifted her perspective, embraced her unique journey, and focused on her own progress and growth.
In typical Weight Loss Podcast style, we discuss the problems themselves and how they affected Courtney, and probably you too, but most importantly we offer practical advice and strategies to improve in these areas.

Sun, 28 May 2023 - 1h 06min - 191 - Season 9 - Courtney's Biggest Challenges Pt 1
In this episode of the show, we dive into Courtney's personal journey, focusing on her biggest challenges and how she has overcome them. Join us as we explore the first three key areas: her dislike of exercise emotional eating, and proximity eating.
Courtney opens up about her struggle with finding little enjoyment from exercise. She shares her initial resistance to exercise and the negative mindset she had towards physical activity. Discover how Courtney transformed her perspective on workouts and found ways to create a sustainable exercise routine that has held up for over 10 years now.
Emotional eating is a challenge many individuals face on their weight loss journey, and Courtney is no exception. She discusses her personal experiences with emotional eating, exploring the triggers and patterns that led to these behaviours. Learn how she developed strategies to better manage her emotions and make better choices when it comes to food.
Proximity eating, or mindless snacking due to food being readily available, is another obstacle Courtney addresses. She shares tips and techniques for navigating situations where food is in close proximity, such as at work and even the home environment.
Throughout the episode, Courtney's honesty and vulnerability shine through as she shares her journey and the lessons she has learned. Whether you can relate to a dislike of exercise, struggling with emotional eating, or facing challenges with proximity eating or a combination of all three, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you overcome these obstacles.

Sun, 21 May 2023 - 57min - 190 - Season 9 - Time Management Tips
In this episode of the show, we tackle the topic of time management and its crucial role in achieving weight loss goals. We address the common notion of not having enough time and debunk the myth that weight loss requires spending hours in the gym or endless hours in the kitchen.
We begin by acknowledging that we, too, have fallen into the trap of using the "I don't have time" line. However, the good news is that we all have the time necessary to prioritise our goals, even amidst our busy lives filled with work, family, and other commitments.
Drawing from our personal experiences, we discuss how we navigated busy periods in our lives, including the busiest time in both our lives - right now.
Key concepts covered in this episode include:
- Honest Assessment of non-negotiables: We emphasise the importance of identifying and defining your non-negotiables, just as we discussed in Season 4 of the podcast. Without clear non-negotiables, you become vulnerable to distractions, inconsistency, and shiny object syndrome.
- Decision-Making and Prioritisation: We delve into the concept of effective and honest decision-making, highlighting that every decision you make involves cutting off other avenues.
- Identifying and Minimising Time Wasters: We emphasise the need to recognise common time-wasting activities, such as excessive social media use and procrastination. By creating awareness, you can implement strategies to minimise or eliminate these distractions, like setting limits on screen time or using productivity apps.
- Creating a Schedule and Sticking to It: We suggest using a planner or digital calendar to map out daily and weekly schedules. By blocking dedicated time slots for exercise, meal prep, grocery shopping, and self-care activities, you can ensure you prioritise your most essential tasks.
- Importance of Planning and Meal Preparation: As the saying goes, "Plan and prepare or prepare to fail" when it comes to weight loss. Allocating specific time each week for meal planning and preparation, and utilising batch cooking or meal prepping techniques, can save time and support healthy eating throughout the week whilst minimising the number of food-related decisions you're making each day.
Whether you feel like you just can't make it work amidst a busy schedule or seeking effective time management strategies, this episode provides valuable insights and practical tips to help you prioritise and focus on the things that really matter to you.
As we mentioned in the episode, we strongly recommend you listen to Season 4 "What are your non-negotiables?" - CLICK HERE to listen.

In many cases unfortunately, people give up altogether.
In this episode we teach you about how to identify your anchor point. The reasons that underpin why you would do the work in the first place.
We all need reasons for change. What are yours?

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 - 13min - 175 - Season 7 - Bonus Q&A
One more for the road!
We REALLY wrap up our first season of 2022 by answering MORE of your questions!
1. When starting out for cardio and also weights would you guys have a pre-workout drink beforehand?
2. Medical help with weight loss like duromine? What are your thoughts about it?
3. I want to add a 3rd day in, but with all my other activities, I'm having trouble finding a spot for it.
I'm concerned adding a 3rd lifting day wouldn't leave any "rest" days, really and I don't want to end up hurting myself. I also don't want to give up any of my sports related activities (playing is my happy place).
Should I not worry so much about adding a 3rd lifting day in? My reason for wanting a 3rd day is to get more practice in and see some better gains in the strength department.
Is this just going to be one of those "you have to make a decision" scenario or is there a clear path you would recommend?
4. What are your thoughts on intermittent fasting?
5. Is there the possibility of y'all selling a cookbook?
6. What would you recommend for increasing weight when there isn't the option to increase by one or two pounds at a time?
7. I work in a busy maternity unit and work shifts.
I do night shifts once or twice a fortnight. Night shifts are a real valley for me I usually only get a hour or so sleep before hand and after for that day.
I also tend to snack on the food people bring in over the night which is usually potato chips, pizza and cake and the next day my zombie day I crave fatty carby foods.
I try to resist but I'm usual exhausted and have no time on the shift so pick at things on the go.
Any advice you could give to help me better manage this would be greatly appreciated.
8. I tried Creatine and it really made me retain water. Did you have that problem? What am I doing wrong?
9. Loose skin on clients that have lost weight...if they have lost a lot of weight or they are older clients that have lost weight. Not seeing the results besides the loose skin even tho they are putting in the hard work day in day out. They know they have muscle under it, but can’t visually see it. What do you advise them to do?
10. I have been lifting weights for 6 months or so and made huge gains early on mostly due to gaining confidence in what I am doing and better technique. My question is, what’s a realistic reasonable increase to expect? I’m looking at this from the perspective of goal setting for the next 6 months so my goals won’t be unrealistic or on the other hand not challenging enough.
11. What are your thoughts on plant-based nutrition/eating?
12. What do you guys think about pre-workouts but also weight loss medications and intermittent fasting?
13. Matt talks about Courtney’s roasted pumpkin a lot, so Courtney- what exactly do you put in it and how long/temp do you roast it? And dumb question, are pumpkins available year-round in grocery stores?
14. How much thought do you put into meal prep? What I mean is: are you really not taking macros into consideration? Are you thinking calorie intake?
15. I have been seeing people with high protein intake (from food not powders) even people doing keto diets who seem to get better results over time- better muscle definition, less body fat. What are your thoughts on that?

Sun, 22 May 2022 - 1h 18min - 174 - Season 7 - Q&A
It's that time of the season again!
We wrap up our first season of 2022 by answering your questions...
1. What are your thoughts on meal delivery services like Hello Fresh (meals only) or Hungryroot (meals plus groceries)?
2. I work evening shifts with call and sometimes I only get a few hours of sleep a night. Would it better to skip a workout the next day or do a workout even if I can’t give it my all being so tired?
3. I’d like some information about weight loss during and leading up to menopause. I’ve read that leading up to and during menopause, the body hold onto fat cells, as they contain oestrogen. Is that correct and are there are any tips for weight loss during this time?
4. You’ve mentioned it’s beneficial to have a break between training programs. Does this just relate to weight training or does It include cardio?
5. Sometimes I feel nauseated during weight training sessions. What is the best way to avoid this? Is it a question of not enough food (or the right kind of food)? Not enough water? I try to make sure on top of those things, but sometimes I still feel sick.
6. You talk about not weighing yourself, that it doesn’t matter if your making real change you will see it. I agree but why bot get on the scales 2-3 times per week to measure progress. Can you expand on this?
7. What are your thoughts on incorporating a fat burner and creatine into a daily routine? I have recently started adding weight training into my routine and both of these were recommended to me. Do you think adding supplements like these make a difference?
8. How do you overcome temptations for snacking between meals?
9. I know I need to to change one thing at a time and I started with cutting down how much I eat fast food. I made a plan to limit the amount each month. How do I know when I am ready to move on to another goal? My all or nothing mentality wants to speed things up but I’m trying to break the cycle!
10. What is something I can focus on in terms of my next nutritional goal? For example increased vegetables or making sure all meals are a balanced meal? I’m not sure how to measure progress.

Sun, 08 May 2022 - 1h 01min - 172 - Season 7 - 10 signs you have a short-term mindset
We talk a lot about playing the long game, how this is about the journey rather than the destination.
Yet building a long-term mindset is much easier said than done, and it starts with recognising the signs of a short-term mindset and working to shift that way of thinking to something more long-lasting, sustainable and healthy.
In this episode of the show we give you our top 10 signs that you have a short-term mindset. The most common signs we see in our line of work and have gone through ourselves along the way...and what can be done to turn them around.
