Stop doing the math: How to stay sane on a long weight loss journey

Wed, 13 May 2026 07:00:00 -0400

You've done the math. You know that losing a pound a week means almost a year to reach your goal and that thought alone is enough to make you want to quit before you start.

You didn't gain the weight in 8 weeks. Your body has been through pregnancies, hormone shifts, and years of putting everyone else first. Expecting it to change in 8 weeks isn't a good strategy... it's a setup for burnout.

What you actually need is to stop chasing the fast result and start falling in love with the process. Because the moms who keep the weight off for good aren't the ones who found the perfect diet - they're the ones who stopped treating it like a sprint and instead build a lifestyle.

🎙️ In this episode we'll cover:

Why the scale is lying to you about your progress
How to measure success in a way that actually keeps you motivated
The 3 questions to ask yourself every week instead of stepping on the scale
What to do when impatience hits and you want to throw the whole plan out the window

Why your body looks and feels different in your 30's and 40's

Wed, 06 May 2026 07:00:00 -0400

You're eating the same way you always have... maybe even better than you did in your 20s. So why does your body feel completely different?

The answer isn't that you're doing something wrong. It's that your body actually is different and nobody has explained to you what that really means.

The strategies that worked a decade ago weren't designed for the season of life you're in now, especially if your body has carried, birthed, and nourished babies.

In this episode, we're breaking down exactly why your body has changed, the mistakes most moms make when they notice something is off (hint: eating less and doing more cardio isn't the answer), and how to start fueling your body in a way that actually gets you results now.

🎙️ In this episode we'll cover:

How to fix your metabolism instead of unknowingly making it worse
The most common mistakes moms make when fat loss feels stuck
How pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood in general can affect weight loss
Practical tips on how to care for your body in your 30s & 40s to lose fat, build muscle, and actually feel good

PS - doors for Strong as a Mother close THIS Friday at 11:59 p.m. EST!

We kick off Monday, May 11th. This is my signature group coaching program that teaches you how to lose fat and fit in your clothes again without another restrictive diet or feeling miserable in the process. You get hands on support and coaching from me so we can turn your body into a fat burning machine again while actually enjoying the process.

You can sign up here!

Do you ACTUALLY have to track your food to lose weight?

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0400

If tracking has ever felt obsessive, restrictive, or just one more thing on your already full plate, this episode will completely change how you think about it.

Spoiler: it's less about perfection or obsession and more about awareness (like checking your bank account instead of just hoping the math works out).

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

✔️ Why tracking gets a bad rap (and why that mindset is keeping you stuck)

✔️ The benefits to counting macros as a mom

✔️ The 3 biggest tracking mistakes that are sabotaging your progress

✔️ 3 simple tips to make tracking faster and easier starting today (we need simplicity as moms)

✔️ Whether tracking is something you'll have to do for the rest of your life or not

Once you build the awareness to see what is holding you back, your entire weight loss journey can (and will) shift but the way you approach tracking matters.

Why the "hot mess mom" identity is keeping you from reaching your dream body

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0400

You've read the books, downloaded the apps and free guides, and know what to do... so why aren't you there yet?

The mom who "has it together" isn't more disciplined than you. She just thinks differently of herself.

You don't need more information or a "better plan". What you need is to stop acting like someone who can't stick to her goals, because as long as that's your identity, no strategy in the world will save you.

In this episode, we're getting into the real reason most moms stay stuck: not motivation, not time, not the kids but who they believe they are. Plus, I'm sharing exactly how to start shifting that identity today, one small action at a time.

🎙️ In this episode we'll cover:

Why goals fail when your identity doesn't match
How to define who you're becoming (not just what you want)
Actionable steps you can implement to start the shift today so you can create the body of your dreams

👉🏻 Ready to become the mom who actually sticks to her goals and build the body + life of your dreams? Strong as a Mother kicks off May 11th and you can join with the Founders Rate available until May 7th.

Motivation won't keep you going but your WHY will - here's how to discover it

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Motivation will fail you. Every. Single. Time.

If fat loss were easy, everyone would do it. But it's not and the people who actually reach their goals aren't the ones who stay motivated. They're the ones who know exactly why they started.

In this episode, we're talking about how to find your WHY - the real one. Not "I want to look better" or "I want more energy." Those answers won't carry you through the hard days. We're going deeper.

Your WHY has to be emotionally charged enough that when motivation disappears (and it will), you can tap into something stronger than a feeling.

We'll cover:
• Why surface-level goals keep you stuck
• How to uncover a WHY that actually moves you
• How to define your 1, 3, and 5-year vision so your day-to-day has direction

Fat loss requires consistency and consistency requires a reason bigger than the hard days. Let's find yours.

If this episode hit home and you're ready to finally reach your fat loss goal in a way that supports your life as a mom, I want to invite you to join Strong as a Mother - my signature group coaching program built for moms who are done with quick fixes and ready to build something that actually lasts. Enrollment is open now. Head to my website christiemagri.com to learn more and grab your spot (lock your spot in before April 23rd to get the special founders rate!)

How to phase your fat loss so you never plateau or gain the weight back

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0400

You've lost weight before… so why does it always seem to come back?

If you feel like you're constantly starting over, this episode is going to change the way you think about dieting for good.

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

✔️ Why being in a deficit isn't enough if you don't know what comes next

✔️ The real reason dieting feels so unsustainable (hint: it's not your willpower)

✔️ How skipping phases is keeping you stuck in the lose-it-gain-it-back cycle

✔️ The 4 phases of fat loss - what they are, when to use them, and why the order matters

✔️ How to finally have a clear next step so you're never just "trying to lose weight" again

Once you understand how to phase your fat loss and build a strategy that works for your real life as a mom, you stop starting over and build a lifestyle change that sticks in every single of motherhood.

Personal trainer or online coach… which one is the best fit for you?

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not seeing the fat loss you want… this episode is going to shift everything for you.

Because here’s the truth: fat loss isn’t just about what you do in the gym. It’s about what happens in the other 23 hours of your day.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the key differences between personal training and online coaching and why so many moms stay stuck relying on workouts alone.

You’ll learn why one hour of training a few times a week isn’t enough to create sustainable results, and how having support, structure, and guidance in your everyday life is what actually helps you stay consistent (even in the chaos of mom life).

We’re diving into:

Why workouts alone won’t create lasting fat loss
The biggest gap between personal training and online coaching
How daily habits, nutrition, and mindset impact your results more than you think
Why “falling off track” keeps happening—and how to finally break that cycle
What it really looks like to have support that fits your life as a busy mom

This episode will help you stop blaming yourself and start understanding what’s actually been missing so you can create results that last, without starting over every Monday.

If you’re ready to lose fat in a way that fits your life (not takes it over), this one is for you.

Is mommy wine culture secretly sabotaging your fat loss?

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

In today’s episode, we’re having an honest conversation about alcohol and how it’s impacting your fat loss progress.

Especially in mom culture - The nightly glass of wine, the “mommy needs a drink” jokes, the margaritas at girls night.

To be clear: this episode is not about shame or telling you that you can never drink again.

But if you’re trying to:

✔️Lose body fat
✔️Control cravings
✔️Improve your sleep
✔️ Feel better in your body + clothes

… you may need to look at your relationship with alcohol.

Inside this episode I’m sharing:

• My personal journey with alcohol
• Why alcohol pauses fat burning
• How it impacts cravings and decision making
• Why those “just a few drinks” add up quickly
• Healthier ways to unwind at the end of a long day

If fat loss has felt harder than it should and alcohol is part of the equation for you… this conversation might open your eyes.

Food noise: why you can't stop thinking about food all day long (and how to fix it)

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever finished a meal… and immediately thought, “Okay, what’s next?” or found yourself thinking about food all day, even when you’re not physically hungry? Yup, that’s food noise.

In today’s podcast episode, we’re breaking down what food noise really is, why so many women (especially moms) struggle with it, and why it’s not a discipline or willpower problem.

You’ll learn:

✔️ What food noise actually is (and what it isn’t)

✔️ How chronic dieting + restriction create obsessive thoughts about food

✔️ Why labeling foods as “good” or “bad” keeps you mentally stuck

✔️ The difference between enjoying food + being mentally consumed by it

✔️ Why weight loss without peace around food isn’t real success

✔️ How to start quieting the noise without another restrictive diet

We’ll also talk honestly about GLP-1 medications, why some women turn to them, and why they aren’t the only, or best, solution for long-term peace with food.

If you’re exhausted from thinking about food all day, planning your life around eating, or feeling like you’re constantly “starting over,” this episode will help you understand why and show you that change is possible.

Because the goal isn’t just weight loss. It’s losing the weight and gaining peace around food too.

Here’s the truth: these aren’t setbacks. They’re opportunities to practice making your fat-loss habits part of a sustainable lifestyle. If you feel like you have to “pause” your plan to live life, it’s not a discipline problem; it’s a sign your method needs adjusting.

How to Simplify Nutrition for Fat Loss (Without Eating the Same Boring Food Forever)

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0500

So many women think fat loss requires Pinterest-perfect meal plans, brand-new recipes every week, and a level of consistency that just isn’t realistic with kids, schedules, and real life. The result? Decision fatigue, skipped meals, grazing, and falling back into convenience foods… even when you want to feel better in your body.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to simplify your nutrition in a way that actually supports fat loss — without eating food you hate or feeling like you’re “on a diet.”

We’ll talk about:

How fewer food decisions lead to better results
Why repetition is freedom (not restriction)
How to create 3–5 go-to meals you actually enjoy
How protein-anchored meals help control cravings and make consistency easier
How I help my clients build simple, repeatable systems instead of rigid plans

You’ll walk away with a practical action step you can implement this week to reduce stress around food and start seeing more consistent progress without overcomplicating your life.

Welcome to Stronger Within: Where We Approach Weight Loss Differently

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 13:00:00 -0500

In this first episode of Stronger Within, I’m sharing my story — how I got here, why this podcast exists, and what you can expect moving forward.

From growing up as the “bigger kid,” starting Weight Watchers at 12 years old, and years of dieting with zero self-trust… to discovering macros and lifting but still struggling with binge eating… to gaining 60+ pounds during pregnancy and feeling completely unfamiliar in my body postpartum, this journey has been anything but linear.

In this episode, I open up about:

My lifelong struggles with weight, food, and body image
Why “doing all the right things” still wasn’t working
The turning point that made me realize there had to be a better way
How habits, mindset, and sustainable nutrition changed everything
Why I’m so passionate about helping women build real, lasting strength — from the inside out

I also share what this podcast is all about and how each episode will support you with:

Practical habits that actually stick
Mindset shifts to break the all-or-nothing cycle
Nutrition strategies that fit real life (without restriction)
Tools to help you feel confident in your body and your life again

If you’re tired of quick fixes and ready to stop starting over, you’re in the right place.
