133: She Lost 60 Pounds — Then Gained Some Back. Here's What Happened Next: With Kate Young

What happens after the "before and after" photo? In this inspiring and deeply relatable episode of the Girls Talk Healthy Aging Podcast, co-hosts Alli Kerr and Shawna Kaminski sit down with former Pink Physique client Kate Young to discuss the real journey of weight loss, setbacks, identity, confidence, and finding your way back to fitness. Fifteen years ago, Kate began her transformation journey training with Alli and the team at The Pink Physique, where she lost 60 pounds and completely changed the direction of her life. But like so many women experience, life happened. After moving out of state and losing her routine, Kate found herself struggling again and regaining some of the weight she had worked so hard to lose. Instead of giving up, Kate chose to begin again. Now in her 30s, Kate has discovered a new passion through Olympic weightlifting and has transformed herself into an international weightlifting competitor — while still embracing her unique identity as a self-proclaimed "gothy nerd," now with more muscle and confidence. In this honest conversation, Alli and Shawna break down: Why weight regain is incredibly common after major weight loss The emotional side of getting off track How routines change through different life stages Why consistency matters more than perfection How finding a fitness style you truly love changes everything The mindset shifts that help women keep going after setbacks This episode is a powerful reminder that your story doesn't end when you stumble. Sometimes the comeback becomes the best chapter yet. Whether you're trying to lose weight, get back into a routine, rebuild confidence, or simply believe in yourself again, Kate's story will leave you inspired and motivated to keep moving forward.
