How to Know When You’ve Lost Enough Weight

In this episode, we answer one of the most common and confusing questions in body transformation: what is your ideal body weight, and what does it actually mean to be in maintenance? We break down how to identify a healthy body composition, how to stop cycling between restriction during the week and overeating on the weekends, and why maintenance is a skill, not a finish line. This conversation is about long-term sustainability, realistic expectations, and learning how to live in a body you can actually maintain.


We talk about:

-why you should not follow a diet you would not want your kids to follow

-why the process matters more than shortcuts

-why difficult does not automatically mean effective

-developing a healthier mentality around the scale

-fears around getting “bulky”

-understanding energy in, energy out

-learning to follow hunger and fullness cues

  • The Real Reason You’re Stuck in the Weight-Loss Cycle

    59:40|
    In this episode, we dig into the cycle of losing and gaining the same 20 pounds. We explore the beliefs and mindset patterns that quietly sabotage long-term change and why willpower alone will never be enough. This conversation is all about shifting how you think, strengthening what you value, and creating a way of living that supports the transformation you want—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or convinced that you “should have this figured out by now,” this one will hit home.We talk about:-strengthening your values-committing to yourself-finding freedom in the gray area-borrowing belief when yours feels low-moving forward after being burned-continuing your education and your growthTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction3:03 how you do anything is how you do everything7:47 committing when life is busy12:20 finding clarity18:45 “I should have this figured out”30:42 being leet down before41:40 “life coaches”46:17 the use of AI in DMs49:53 talking about moneyCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/
  • Marriage in Real Life Stress, Safety, and Showing Up as Yourself

    01:03:58|

From juggling blended family dynamics to learning what true intimacy and safety feel like, this conversation is grounded in honesty and the lessons we’ve learned the hard way. We dive into what it means to be loved for who you are, how past experiences shape current boundaries, and why living in integrity matters in every relationship you’re part of.We talk about:-balancing work schedules and personal time-navigating life with children and step-children-setting boundaries based on past experiences-being loved for who you are, not who you “should” be-living in integrity within your relationship-how men bond and express connectionTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction3:20 balancing family, work, and personal time17:30 intimacy and connection27:20 feeling safe and seen34:30 respectful conflict and disagreements 40:01 sharing phone passwords49:58 looking at other men or women58:16 does your husband actually care?CONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/
  • How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything

    01:06:38|
    In this episode, we explore what it really means to “show up” in your life, your relationship, and your health. Your standards, your habits, and your communication do not exist in isolation — they influence the people closest to you, especially when you are trying to make changes and your partner is not on the same page. We dig into the emotional, practical, and relational sides of pursuing growth while maintaining connection, and how your behavior can inspire change without pressure or resentment. This conversation is for anyone navigating personal goals while trying to honor their relationship at the same time.We talk about:-setting standards for yourself-leading with curiosity-having hard conversations-assuming the worst-supporting your partner-how you do anything is how you do everything-environment dictates behavior-building emotional connectionTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction7:43 raising your own waterline12:40 communicating your needs21:15 creating a feeling a safety 29:45 shifting your identity for body transformation 36:15 taking accountability40:09 being “equal” in your fitness48:10 physiological and psychological health57:56 problem solving togetherCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/
  • Beliefs that Keep you Stuck

    51:19|
    In this episode, we break down the beliefs that quietly keep people stuck. These are the stories you repeat, the assumptions you cling to, and the patterns you justify that ultimately limit your growth. We explore how your environment, your relationships, your expectations, and even your idea of “readiness” shape your ability to move forward. If you feel like you’ve been spinning your wheels, this conversation will help you see what is holding you back and what it actually takes to create meaningful change.We talk about:-when things become important-sacrifices as a parent-the company you keep-consistency is variable-importance of compassion-the idea of self-love-you don’t need to have the answersTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction2:00 choosing your fitness as a parent7:45 living your values11:45 what makes a good parent17:07 is it the right time?24:20 ready is a lie30:03 attributes of your partner34:57 who you’ve been versus who you’re becoming45:18 what we mean by what we sayCONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/

  • Stop Overcomplicating Your Transformation

    52:58|
    In this episode, we dive into the truth about why most people don’t see results from their body transformation efforts. It’s not about the perfect plan, the newest trend, or the most advanced workout—it’s about how you approach the process itself. We break down the mindset shifts, habits, and self-honesty required to create lasting change. If you’ve been stuck in cycles of starting over or feeling like you’re doing everything “right” without results, this conversation will help you realign your focus and simplify your approach.We talk about:-Why simple is scalable-The importance of staying consistent-Why taking care of yourself isn’t selfish-Recognizing when you’re lying to yourself-The power of focused intention-Letting go of perfection-Building identity through discipline-The psychology behind real transformationTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction2:19 stop overthinking things9:14 identity as an indicator of success14:27 having an “ideal” weight16:28 the integrity gap24:50 wanting the outcome without the effort26:48 psychology of transformation33:09 doing hard things38:30 doing both at once46:24 self-betrayal48:59 surprise!CONNECT WITH KAIT:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd791:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157IG: https://www.instagram.com/maverickonlinecoaching/SLAE: https://www.instagram.com/slaehormonesolutions/Website for SLAE Hormone Solution: https://slaehormonesolutions.com/Ask anonymous questions: https://ngl.link/maverickonlinecoaching1
