Episode 98: From 3 Minutes to 3 Miles: Kristen's Inspiring 60-lb Transformation

One year ago, Kristen struggled just to walk from her car into work. She needed help with everyday chores, constantly thought about food, and felt trapped in a cycle of guilt, binge eating, and starting over. Her doctor recommended a GLP-1 medication, but Kristen decided she wanted to invest in building lifelong habits and improving her relationship with food. Fast forward one year... Kristen is down nearly 60 pounds, completed her first 5K, goes to the gym regularly, and says she has a running list of all the everyday things she can do now that she once took for granted. In this emotional conversation, Kristen sits down with her dietitian, Sam, and Pivot founder Danielle to share what really changed over the last year. They discuss food noise, binge eating, mindset shifts, sustainable habits, and why this journey became about so much more than the number on the scale. In this episode, we discuss: Kristen's life before coaching and the moment she knew she needed help What food noise and binge eating felt like The mindset shifts that changed her relationship with food Why she chose Pivot over a GLP-1 medication How she lost her first 40 pounds in less than six months The non-scale victories that mattered more than weight loss Advice for anyone who's waiting for the "perfect time" to start If you don't recognize yourself or feel like you've been trying to lose weight "for as long as you can remember," this episode is for you.
