Simple, but not easy.

I'll explain. Losing weight for good is about sorting through multiple aspects of your life, mindset, and environment. 

We tend to think of weight loss as an internal personal matter. I either do the 'right' thing or do the 'wrong' thing, but that's not at all how it works. If you've been repeatedly frustrated by your inability to stick with something, make a 'good' choice, or stay away from sugar, let me tell you right now, you're operating on bad information.

That bad information encourages you to scrutinize your body and feel shame when you can't stick with a diet. You then go right back to the behaviors that keep you trapped in chronic weight gain. That cycle is utterly demoralizing, I probably don't have to tell you.

Back to simple, but not easy. Since there are quite a few things that need to be sorted through to produce lasting weight loss, I've taken great pains to make both the concepts and the actionable change simple to understand and execute.

"The course exceeded my expectations. All the material was presented in a thoughtful and clear way." Michelle K.

However (you knew there was a but), change of any kind is sometimes uncomfortable and requires effort. That's the why behind this program. It's a warm, simple, realistic path to finally sort through all the ways you're unwittingly creating weight gain and what to do about it.

On a final note, when has an easy solution to a lifelong problem ever worked?

I'll share what I've observed from taking multiple Weight Loss For Life participants through the program.

Have you had the experience of taking in a great article or workshop and thinking, this makes sense? I'm going to do this thing! Only to find when you actually go to do the thing, it feels harder than it should. You feel pushed back and at square one.

That's because there are other factors at play creating friction that you aren't aware of.

Group coaching is effective because each week it gives you a setting to bring that friction to light and leave with clarity on what to do about it.

After leading multiple cohorts, I've seen so many shifts happen during group coaching that led to permanent changes. Which leads to permanent weight loss.

That thing that feels elusive, but is actually within your grasp. 

It's definitely not a diet. Our goal is to liberate you from the cycles of over and under-consumption (diets).

Weight loss isn't dieting, and dieting isn't weight loss.

A diet is designed to create immediate weight loss without regard to what you can sustain. We are the complete opposite. We go deep and tackle the specific issues that have kept you locked into weight struggles. That's why this program lasts for nine weeks and looks into various aspects of your life.

The answers are hiding in plain sight, but you need a new perspective to see them properly.

We approach weight as a holistic process.

This means your beliefs about yourself, emotional upheaval, inner life, time allocation, personal boundaries, ingrained stories, and much more are addressed. This is what makes it a unique and lasting process.

This program:

1. Is built to teach what you really need to learn. What that means is that after years of struggle and now, years of success, I identified all the parts you need to find lasting success and guide you through step-by-step.
2. Is specific for web-based learning because, in order for changes to be stable, buildable, and enduring, they have to happen inside your life. You learn in your home, in your day-to-day, in your body, and in your relationships. This is a grounding approach because that’s what’s necessary for long-term success.
3. Was developed by someone who's done it. You'll learn about losing weight without dieting traps but more importantly, how you can keep it off. You can't find lasting success without that. This program is designed to put them in front of you.

What that means in the context of not another diet is that we teach you to build a system that provides daily support for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. It does not mean some sort of miracle 'solution' that prevents you from ever gaining weight again. If anyone tries to offer you that, run! 

The goal is to create practices that feel so organic and workable that they become how you conduct your life. 

There might be times in life you deviate from the life/system/tools you've built for yourself. If that happens (because life and bodies aren't static) you'll simply return to the system you built for yourself. No panic, no dieting–just agency.

There isn’t and that’s by design. 
You don’t need an eating plan, you need a way of eating rooted in simplicity. We certainly address food in the course in all sorts of ways, but no one, including me, can hand you one you’ll follow the rest of your life.

The question itself reveals how deeply we’ve inhaled what mass-produced diets sell. Eating healthfully isn’t complicated, navigating a world full of obesogenic food is.
This program helps you figure out how you can do this for yourself.

That's not as sexy as telling you gluten/dairy/legumes/hormones are the source of all your woes, but it has the benefit of being the truth–something you deserve to hear.

Clarity about what it takes to achieve a stable, healthy weight.

The nuts and bolts:

• A 9-week program carefully designed to address all the aspects of your life, thinking, and habits so that you can finally address what's been missing from your past efforts.
• (COHORT) Lifetime access to the course itself so that you can refresh and deepen the lessons as needed.
• A community forum to discuss issues with other members, share successes, and get help with challenges.
• An accountability pod to keep you on track and learning.
• Weekly group coaching on Zooms that focus on questions and various topics - this is where the insights really click.
• 24/7 Email support for quick answers and technical issues.

What you really get: an approach you just won't find anywhere else. We respect your total well-being so you can open yourself up to the life you imagined.

"I wish I could fully explain that this program is about finding joy and deep contentment by learning how to really take care of yourself in ALL the ways that truly matter! At the same time Rebecca is realistic and practical in her approach. 

It’s a rare winning combination to approaching great health for life."

Kathleen, Spring 2022 Cohort

I often tell the story of the pivotal moment I gave up dieting to find lasting success with my weight. While that's true, the real story is a little deeper.

Twenty years of listening to half-baked plans and incomplete science with nothing to show for it but confusion and an uncomfortable body was enough. I couldn't see the way forward but I knew where I'd been would keep me stuck and sad.

So, I turned entirely away from the health and wellness industry and began gleaning important ideas from thinkers from all walks of life.

I started reading about how to properly nourish myself from ancestral wisdom. I looked at what science had to say about food and mental health. I took a Buddhist approach to observe my inner dialog. I cultivated peace to fuel everyday movement. I learned how to be kind to myself in practical terms, and the power of that approach in steady self-care.

I listened to smart people from all walks of life and took that knowledge to create a stable, healthy weight. I actively disregarded anything remotely faddish, in the wellness sphere or attached to someone selling a diet.

Over the years of maintaining the loss, I made a careful study of my own success and identified the key changes that need to be made. Many will surprise you.

Five years into my own weight mastery I began to write about my approach, and a decade later I built this program.

It's my honor to see others out of weight anxiety and into a life of weight mastery.

Glad you asked. Just buying this program will not magically transform you. I appreciate the business but am also invested in your long-term success.

As with any education, you'll get out of it what you put into it.

1. Be prepared to set aside time most days to read and watch the videos. We recommend 30 minutes, 5 days a week.
2. You'll be asked to do exercises and try new approaches to eating and movement. Stay open to trying new things.
3. Come to group coaching as often as you can (most participants make about 60%, more is better). That's one hour per week.
4. You'll be placed in an accountability pod that meets for an hour per week.

This program isn't a simplistic diet you can do in 15 minutes a day and that's why it works (for a lifetime).

Leave time to take in the material and apply it to your life. The transformation is in the doing.

It's for anyone who struggles to keep a healthy weight and wants to learn once and for all what it means to take care of themselves.

It can be just as distressing to never be able to get a handle on 20 pounds as 50. Not only that, but they're essentially the same problem. One has been allowed to accumulate for longer, that's it.

No one is ever in a perfect state of readiness (which is why we offer lifetime access to the material).

However, we've noticed a pattern among people who dive right in and see results. 

They tend to share these characteristics. They:

• Have a weight history that's mostly up with occasional periods of loss. The losses tend to be unstable because of how they were achieved.
• Have some understanding of nutrition and a general interest in health. What's missing are the strategies to consistently apply their knowledge.
• Ready to give up on diets and quick fixes. This is a big one. You've got to learn and stabilize yourself before losing weight.
• Value aging well. Will this next chapter bring infirmity or adventure? They're ready to invest in the latter.
• Are ready to listen. Gaining weight often feels like an emergency. Then, the inevitable unsustainable diet. This program requires patience and a willingness to keep an open mind. Then come the lasting results.

If this sounds like you then it's time to apply.

Once you’ve paid for the course, you’re committed. Your money secures your commitment and clarifies the work you’re willing to do.

Please read through this website, watch the videos, browse my Medium publication (link in header), and proceed when you feel a visceral yes.

So you can stop wondering and searching for the 'thing' (there's no thing btw, a healthy weight is the product of interconnected practices).

There's intense confusion around achieving and keeping a healthy weight. Much of that has to do with the firehose of terrible information out there. Part of what happens through this process is de-programming, then guiding through what will actually change your circumstance.

So you can live in peace. You’ll walk away with clarity about what it means to nourish yourself, how to create a movement practice that acheives real fitness gains without hurting yourself, and how to tap into emotional regulation so you can ask for what you need. It may sound old-fashioned, but that's what works.

So you can live out the fuller version of your life. Frittering away precious time worrying about your weight is no way to live.

But, you knew that.

The program is a premium offering because to solve chronic weight gain, you have to address multiple factors at once.

Please note: the price for the program is going up on January 15th 2023.

You have two payment options.

1. A one-time fee of $2997

"If someone has said to me, you know, you're going to feel better, you're going to sleep, you're going to lose weight, you're going to be very healthy, I would give any money for that, it's priceless.

I think, well, what else would you spend that money on? I mean, say you're going to have a vacation or something? Well, this is going to last you a lot longer. This is a lifetime thing. I just had a whole medical workup everything is normal. I sleep every night for at least eight hours, I would have paid $20,000 for that."

-weight loss for life member, Susan D.

Comparing this not against the cost of diets (because they haven't changed anything long-term) but against upcoming health costs and lost opportunities to live confidently as the person you know is inside.

I love this question.

Let's dive in. 

Yes, there are a million cheap or free diets. There are apps and diet blogs. You probably follow weight loss people on Instagram who sell meal plans and what-not (one of the first things I ask program participants to do is shut all that down, it clogs your thinking). 

In other words, there's a lot out there to confuse you into thinking this is a problem you should be able to easily solve without spending much. 

My question is, is that true? 

The fact that weight gain remains stubborn and chronic tells us that it's not an easy problem to solve otherwise obesity wouldn't still be climbing. The diets would have worked. 

Maybe you think you're deficient in some special way that leads you perpetually into failure. As in, if you were just stronger about sweets or loved to workout this would all be solved. 

Think about the world at large. Isn't it strange that weight gain is happening globally? That our ancestors didn't struggle in this way. Were they naturally better at restricting themselves or was their environment different?

All of this is to say, what's really trapping you is your thinking about the problem and diet culture's garbage solutions.

This program is worth the fee because it takes you step by step through all the bad thinking keeping you trapped in a body that doesn't feel good to you. It shows you exactly what to examine and correct and how to go about doing that. It makes you understand that this is an issue you can solve.

Lastly, what's the cost of one knee replacement or an extended illness? Much greater than this program. 

From the New England Journal Of Medicine:

"The single greatest opportunity to improve health and reduce premature deaths lies in personal behavior. In fact, behavioral causes account for nearly 40% of all deaths in the United States.12 Although there has been disagreement over the actual number of deaths that can be attributed to obesity and physical inactivity combined, it is clear that this pair of factors and smoking are the top two behavioral causes of premature death."
