In this week’s episode of the Weight Loss for Fertility podcast, we’re learning about the conversation that guarantees weight loss.

  • Ep 161:     B- Work
    Ever felt like if you can’t do something perfectly, you might as well not do it at all? 🙋‍♀️ Oh friend, you are NOT alone! The tug-of-war between “all or nothing” thinking is one of the biggest roadblocks to permanent weight loss—especially when you’re hoping to conceive, navigating treatment, or figuring out your new normal as a mom. This week on the Weight Loss for Fertility podcast, I’m inviting you to step into the “gray zone”…and embrace the magic of B- work. 💫 Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode: Why all-or-nothing thinking sets you up to fail and actually damages your relationship with yourself (trust me, a beat down is not the way!) How letting yourself do “B-” work is the real secret to permanent weight loss—yes, even if your inner overachiever is screaming Simple, loving ways to practice imperfect action—from experimenting with the hunger scale to rethinking food “rules”, so you actually move forward (not backwards) You deserve freedom, not the straightjacket of perfection. Permanent change comes from compassion, curiosity, and (spoiler!) embracing a little mess. Tune in, let go of A+, and let’s celebrate every brave B- step together. 💗 Links: Ep 17: How To Change a Habit for Weight Loss - My Real Life Example https://www.stephaniefeinmd.com/podcasts/weight-loss-for-fertility/episodes/2147893014 Ep 51: How to Change a Habit for Weight Loss: Follow-Up https://www.stephaniefeinmd.com/podcasts/weight-loss-for-fertility/episodes/2148261611 Click the links below to lose weight now, the Weight Loss for Fertility way: Website - stephaniefeinmd.com - Facebook - Instagram - LinkedIn

  • Ep 160:    Hunger Signals You May Miss
    December snuck up on us again—parties, leftovers, and all the seasonal food cues threatening our best-laid plans. So we're going back to basics for this episode of the Weight Loss for Fertility podcast to talk about something that truly changes the game: tuning in to our hunger—really tuning in--with an eye toward the quiet signs that we may miss (and misinterpret). Here’s why you’ll want to hit play ASAP: Discover subtle hunger cues you’ve been missing—like mood swings and fuzzy thinking—that could mean your body is asking for fuel (not just a quick fix). Learn simple ways to spot the difference between emotional eating and true physical hunger—so you’re empowered, not confused. Hear how the hunger scale fits into every season of your life, from fertility treatments to pregnancy and beyond (no more one-size-fits-all advice!). Even if you’ve been taught to override your hunger signals by rigid schedules or social pressure, it’s never too late to get reacquainted. Because the more you listen, the easier it gets—no matter the season, progesterone level, or commute time.

  • Ep 159: Your Thanksgiving Plate
    Thanksgiving dinner: delicious, emotional . . . and potentially full of anxiety about our plates and our progress when we're trying to lose weight. But there's no need to dread the stuffing, the company, or the pumpkin pie. Pull up your plate and tune in to the latest episode of the Weight Loss for Fertility podcast, where we learn how to enjoy Thanksgiving with intention, joy, and a touch of strategy: Discover the five guiding principles for our Thanksgiving plate—so we feel satisfied, not stuffed, and guilt-free. Reminder to listen to hunger (not anxiety). Using the Hunger Scale as our North Star means we eat when we’re hungry and stop when we’re satisfied, leaving guilt (and food comas) off the guest list. Important: Choose our favorites—yes, even the stuffing or pie! One plate is plenty when it’s filled with the highest quality, most delicious foods we actually love. You deserve memories and connection—not food noise and regret. When we approach Thanksgiving with intention, our bellies AND hearts feel good. Ready for more practical and loving support?

  • Ep 158:    Thanksgiving is the Halfway Point
    The holiday season is like summer school for weight loss. You’re thrown into accelerated learning—stress, family drama, food temptations—like a mashup of all the hardest challenges, crammed into six shiny, calorie-laden weeks. Here’s how to emerge from the Bermuda Triangle of Weight Gain with an A (or at least a B+): Check Your Course, Just Like a Pilot Airplanes stay on track by constant, tiny course corrections. Same goes for weight loss during the holidays! Don’t panic if things feel off—just check in, gather your data, and re-align. Let Data Be Your Guide (Not Your Judge) Your weight, your habits, how your clothes fit—these are just information. Approach them with curiosity and gentleness, like accepting a toddler’s finger-painting. No self-criticism required! Three Magic Questions: What Worked? What Didn’t? What Will I Do Differently? Start by celebrating your wins (no matter how small), then get specific about what didn’t go as planned. Use that intel, without an ounce of shame, to tweak your next steps. Remember: perfection is NOT the goal—progress is. Did Halloween feel more like a trick than a treat? All is not lost. The holidays don't have to be an unstoppable slide into regret and tight waistbands. You can course correct at any time—one loving decision at a time. Ready to trade guilt for progress and have some fun along the way? Listen to this week’s episode of the Weight Loss for Fertility podcast—your winning strategy (and encouragement!) is just a play button away.
