Week 8 of my 8-week challenge is officially here, and I’m getting super real with you: this whole journey has not been linear. In this update, I’m checking in on my progress, how close I am to my goal weight, and what it actually looks like when you keep showing up even when the scale is moving slow (or feels like it’s not moving at all). I’m reflecting on the habits that helped me stay consistent, what I learned about patience, and why I’m focused on long-term weight-loss maintenance—not just a quick “finish line.” I also talk through the mindset piece of this challenge—because honestly, that’s been just as important as workouts and food. If you’ve ever felt stuck right before a goal, this video is for you. I share what I’m doing as I finish out the challenge, how I’m staying motivated, and why I’m proud of my progress either way. Watch to see if I finally hit my goal weight, and if you’re on your own journey, I hope this gives you that little push to not give up when progress feels slow.
