Are you tired of a hunk of metal dictating how you feel about yourself and your body? If you've ever felt crushed, confused, or just plain frustrated after stepping on the scale (especially when you’re doing everything right), this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Biking Wellness Podcast, Stacy dives into what it means to have a healthy, intentional relationship with the scale while trying to lose weight riding your bike. You’ll learn how to decide whether to use it, how often, and ways to shift your mindset so that number doesn’t mess with your head or sabotage your progress.

We’re breaking down:

• Whether or not you should weigh yourself
• How to make peace with the number (if you do)
• Why BMI is outdated and flawed
• And how to track progress in way more meaningful ways

This episode is packed with encouragement, perspective shifts, and tips to help you feel strong, confident, and in control—on and off the bike.

Because the scale doesn’t get to decide how amazing you are.

Tired of calorie counting, food tracking, and all the complicated rules that make weight loss feel like a second job? In this episode of the Biking Wellness Podcast, I’m breaking down why meal planning (not dieting!) is the key to losing weight while biking—and actually enjoying the process.

When I lost 50 pounds riding my bike, I didn’t count a single calorie or track a single macro. Instead, I made a simple, doable food plan each day of foods I actually like.

What we discuss in this episode:

• Why calorie counting is exhausting—and teaches you to ignore your hunger
• How a simple daily plan removes the guesswork
• The key to avoiding emotional eating and late-night pantry raids
• How planning helps you learn what works (and what doesn’t)
• Why a quick plan helps you let go of all or nothing thinking

Whether you're just getting back on the bike or looking for a sustainable way to feel better in your body, this episode will show you how to make food work for you—not against you.

There are SO many reasons why you might not have been riding your bike in a while. Maybe you took some time off the bike or you only ride indoors during the winter months.

Or, perhaps you had an injury that sidelined you for a bit, and couldn’t ride on doctors orders. Perhaps you haven’t felt like it, or you have been moving your body in a different way.

OR, it could be that you just don’t have a bike to ride right now and haven’t ridden since you were a kid! I know that was me for a while too!

Whatever reason, sometimes you just need to find your way back on the bike. In this episode of the Biking Wellness Podcast we are going to talk all about what you need to do to prepare your mind and body to get back on the bike.

One of my biggest goals for the Biking Wellness podcast is to flip the script on weight loss…for good. I am SO EXCITED for this episode because today I am going to share with you exactly what this means and what it looks like.

Have you ever been told that in order to be healthy you need to diet? That you need to exercise, and use all this willpower to get the results you want? That it is going to be hard, painful, and yes, you will likely be miserable?

And not only that, if you fail? It’s YOUR fault. You are the one who couldn't stick with diet and exercise. YOU are the one who failed.

The truth is, though, that you haven’t failed your diets. Your DIETS have failed you. Not only that, but our society has failed you by encouraging you to lose weight for the wrong reasons – to focus on what your body looks like – to try to make it into something it’s NOT.

When I set out to lose 50 pounds riding my bike for the last time, I knew I needed to do something totally different. Today, I am going to take you behind the curtain and share with you exactly how we are going to flip the script on weight loss for good.

We are going to talk about what that means, and what changes we need to make in the way we THINK about ourselves and our bodies in order to lose weight for the last time.

Have you ever been told that if you want to lose weight you have to do this diet, or that one? Or that it’s simply calories in/calories out and you need to track every single thing you eat or do in an app?

At least, I know that every time I tried to lose weight this is what I heard, but NONE of it ever worked. Five years ago, I finally lost 50 pounds riding my bike and kept it off.

Do you know what the REAL difference-maker was? Riding my bike. Yup. And probably NOT for the reason you are thinking. Not because I was burning a ton of calories. Not because I was building all of these muscles in my legs.

The REAL reason why biking, or really movement in general, is the key to weight loss is because it feels GOOD to find that ONE THING that you LOVE to do.

That one way to move your body that you just WANT to do. That you would gladly do even if it wasn't a means to lose weight.

In this episode of the Biking Wellness Podcast I break down all of the specific reasons why moving your body is the secret to lasting weight loss.
