Spill the Tea - Fall 2025: Week 12 with Kim Spink
In this episode of Spill the Tea, Gina reconnects with Kim Spink, who’s down 43 pounds and is now living in maintenance. Kim reflects on what it really took to lose the weight and why she kept going through five full rounds of The Program. She shares the surprising moment she knew she was finally ready to shift into maintenance, how her approach to movement evolved through menopause, and why giving up cardio felt like gaining something bigger. From running vests to weight training, Kim opens up about finding trust in her body, peace with food, and a mindset that feels sustainable for the long haul.
