Episode Overview

What does it actually take to lose over 100 pounds while building habits you can continue living with afterward?

In this episode, Annie catches up with Balance365 member Tami and her one-to-one coach, Alexis, for a behind-the-scenes look at Tami's journey. After years of rigid, all-or-nothing approaches to weight loss, Tami began doing things differently: building one habit at a time, learning to accept "good enough," and making choices that had to work not only for weight loss, but for the life she actually wanted to live.

Tami shares how she lost 108 pounds with the support of Balance365 coaching, medical supervision, and a GLP-1—and why she sees behavior change and medical support as complementary parts of her experience rather than an either/or choice.

But some of Tami's biggest changes can't be captured by a number on the scale. She learned to invest time, money, and energy in herself after decades of putting everyone else first. She softened long-standing rules around food. She stopped treating every plateau as a reason to abandon what was working. And she learned that sometimes the answer isn't finding one more thing to change—it's trusting the habits you've already built.
