For years, people have been taught to measure the success of their health journey by one number.
Their weight.
But I've seen people get lighter by severely restricting calories, doing excessive cardio, losing muscle, and following plans they could never realistically maintain.
And that's the part nobody wants to talk about.
They may weigh less... but they can also come out of that diet with less muscle, lower energy expenditure, more hunger, worse training performance, and a body that's adapted to living on fewer calories.
Then they go back to eating normally, the weight starts coming back, and before long they're searching for the next diet to lose it all over again.
That's not the picture of health we should be chasing.
As Christians, I believe we need a bigger target.
We should be asking whether the way we're losing weight is helping us preserve muscle, support our health, build sustainable habits, and become better equipped to show up for the life God has given us to steward.
Because getting lighter is only part of the equation.
How you lose the weight matters.

𝐈 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝟐𝟏 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭…
The fat loss system I wish I had 21 years ago

There’s so much conflicting weight loss information out there that it’s no wonder people have no idea what to do.

One week, somebody tells you that carbs are the problem.

The next week, somebody else says you need to eat more carbs.

One book tells you to fast. Another tells you that fasting will destroy your metabolism.

Meanwhile, you’re left wondering:

“What am I actually supposed to do to lose weight AND keep it off?”

After coaching people for 21 years, I’ve learned that most people don’t need more random information.

They need a proven system that shows them how nutrition, movement, strength training, habits, mindset, metabolism, and biblical stewardship all work together.

That’s why I took what I’ve learned over the last 21 years and turned it into our complete sustainable fat loss system called JoyfullyFit 365.

And beginning September 28, we’re giving you the opportunity to test-drive the foundation of that system for 21 days.

It’s called the 𝟐𝟏-𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐅𝐚𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐊𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭.

Over those 21 days, you’ll:

• Get the exact calorie and macro targets your body needs to successfully lose body fat without destroying your metabolism.

• Receive a meal plan based on your calorie targets, with four different food styles, so you can enjoy what you’re eating while making progress.

• Follow a complete workout program that tells you exactly what to do, so you can build strength and protect the muscle that keeps your metabolism healthier as you lose weight.

• Get daily movement goals based on your current fitness level, so you can burn more calories without living in the gym or trying to overhaul your entire life overnight.

• Receive group coaching, community, and daily accountability, so you’re not left alone with another plan you don’t know how to follow.

• Begin changing the roots beneath your current results, including your beliefs, habits, mindset, and daily decisions, so you can begin producing better fruit and ultimately a different harvest.

Because the truth is, the results you’re experiencing today didn’t appear overnight.

They grew from roots that were planted through the choices and habits that came before them.

If you want a different harvest, you have to plant and nurture different roots.

That’s why this Kickstart isn’t about starving yourself, cutting out every food you enjoy, or seeing how much weight you can force off your body in three weeks.

It’s about helping you begin stewarding your body well by building the right foundation for lasting fat loss, better health, more strength, and the energy to show up for the life and calling God has given you.

And yes, you can still make some pretty incredible progress in 21 days.

One member from our last Kickstart lost 4½ inches from her waist within her first two weeks!

Of course, everyone’s results will be different, but think about this:

How would it feel to finally see progress like that and know you’re doing it in a way you can actually continue?

The Kickstart is already priced to make it easy to get started, but because you’re one of our followers, you can also save an additional 15% when you join this cohort using coupon KICKSTART15.

Enrollment closes at midnight this Sunday, September 27.

We begin September 28, and we’d love to help you make these next 21 days count.

P.S. This entire cohort costs less than a single meal plan usually does from a coach or nutritionist. Plus you'll also save an additional 15% when you join this cohort using coupon code KICKSTART15.

21 Day Fat Loss Kickstart - Your First Step To Joyful Transformation

09/23/2026

You can know exactly how many calories to eat, how much protein you need, and what workouts to do... and still struggle to follow through consistently.
That's why lasting weight loss requires more than collecting better fitness information.
Eventually you have to deal with the beliefs, habits, priorities, and desires that are driving your decisions when following the plan gets uncomfortable.
As Christians, that's a familiar concept. God transforms us from the inside out, and I believe our approach to our physical health should reflect that same biblical principle.
Nutrition and exercise absolutely matter. But lasting change goes much deeper than a meal plan and workout program.
Work on the root, and you'll begin changing the fruit.

Most people who have struggled with their weight for years don't need another list of healthy foods or another workout plan.
They usually know a whole lot more about fitness than their results would suggest.
The harder work is learning why you keep overriding what you already know to do.
Sometimes you want faster results. Sometimes you want comfort. Sometimes you simply don't feel like doing what the plan calls for.
As Christians, we shouldn't be surprised by that battle. Scripture has plenty to say about the conflict between our flesh and what we know is wise.
Learning to recognize that battle before it turns into self-sabotage can change your entire fitness journey.

I’m not talking about how you look.

When most people think about the cost of being out of shape, they immediately think about their body.

Their weight.

How their clothes fit.

What they see in the mirror.

But after nearly 20 years of coaching people, I think some of the biggest costs have absolutely nothing to do with how you look.

And as a Christian, I think that makes this conversation even more important.

Because what if your physical fitness is quietly affecting areas of your life you’ve never even connected to your health?

That’s exactly what Lauren and I got into during a conversation on her channel recently.

And the deeper we went, the more we started connecting dots between fitness, biblical stewardship, and what it actually means to be FIT for the life God has called you to live.

I decided to share the conversation on my channel because I really think more Christians need to hear this.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know I need to get myself in shape, but…” I especially want you to watch this one.

That “but” may be costing you considerably more than you realize.

Could your physical health be affecting your ability to show up for...

Christians, I think we need to have a conversation about the way we're pursuing weight loss.

Because there's a pretty big difference between getting healthier... and simply getting lighter.

And some of the things people are doing to lose weight right now should probably make us stop and ask a few questions first.

I just put out a new video about this. 👇

Would love to hear your thoughts after you watch.

Should Christians approach weight loss differently than everyone el...

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥...𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭.

Lauren and I are so excited about the group coming together for our 21-Day Fat Loss Kickstart!

On August 17, we’ll be helping 20 people start losing fat with custom macros, a meal plan based on their body and goals, a results-based workout program, daily coaching, and a community going through the entire experience together.

They’ll be learning how to make progress without trying to overhaul their entire lives or following another restrictive plan they’re already counting down the days until they can quit.

More importantly, they’ll be building the foundation they need to continue making progress after the 21 days are over.

We seriously cannot wait to see what this group accomplishes!

Unfortunately, if you were hoping to be part of it...

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐊𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐎𝐔𝐓! 🎉

All 20 spots have been claimed, and registration for this cohort is now closed.

But the great news is that we’re already planning another cohort for sometime in late September!

We’ll announce the official date and registration details as soon as everything is finalized.

Just make sure you’re watching for it because this cohort sold out before it even began, and we expect the next one to fill even faster!

I just realized that with all the excitement surrounding Lauren coming back to Joyfully Fit, I never actually posted about this here.

On August 17, Lauren and I are leading our first 21-Day Fat Loss Kickstart cohort together since 2016.

We originally opened 20 spots.
Eighteen have already been claimed.
So, before the final two disappear, I should probably tell y’all what we’re actually doing. 😂

The 21-Day Fat Loss Kickstart is for anyone who’s ready to lose weight without following another overly restrictive plan they already know they won’t maintain.

You’ll begin with:
• Custom macros and a meal plan based on your body and goals
• A results-based workout program for fat loss
• Downloadable guides
• A gamified ecosystem and community designed to help you stay consistent
• Daily coaching from Lauren and me

We’ll help you use your macros and meal plan, progress through your workouts, increase your daily movement, and know what to adjust if your hunger increases, you miss a workout, or your weight loss slows down.

In the original version of our 21-Day Kickstart, members lost between 6 and 13 pounds.

By the end of these 21 days, you could be:
• Several pounds lighter
• Noticeably stronger
• Seeing changes in your measurements and how your clothes fit
• Enjoying the process instead of counting down the days until the diet ends
• Losing weight in a way you can continue without dreading what it takes to keep it off

The goal isn’t to help you lose a few pounds as quickly as possible, only to gain them right back.
It’s to help make these 21 days the beginning of your permanent transformation.

Only TWO of the original 20 spots remain.
Once they’re claimed, registration is closed, and we likely won’t offer another cohort until late September or early October.

Lauren and I would love to do this with you!

Losing weight isn’t the hardest part.
Keeping it off is.

If you’ve lost the same 7, 20, or even 50 pounds more than once, you don’t need someone telling you to “try harder this time.”

You need to change HOW you’re losing it.
Because if your plan requires you to barely eat, cut out everything you enjoy, and organize your entire life around losing weight, what happens when the diet ends?

You go back to your normal life.
And eventually, the weight comes back with it.

The difference between losing weight and keeping it off is HOW you lose it.
That’s why Lauren and I created the 21-Day Fat Loss Kickstart.

Beginning August 17, we’ll help you start losing fat while learning how to eat, exercise, and take care of your body in a way that fits your actual life.

You’ll receive:
✅ Custom macros based on your body and goals, plus a meal plan
✅ A results-based workout program for fat loss
✅ A gamified ecosystem with downloadable guides
✅ Daily coaching and community support
✅ Direct access to Lauren and me throughout the Kickstart

There were only 20 spots available, and we’re already down to the FINAL 5.
Once those five spots are filled, registration closes.
