I think the best change I’ve made since the start of the program is pushing myself outside my comfort zone. Wearing that red lipstick, going to read alone at a cafe, tackling the clutter and seeing how good it feels to leave my comfort zone behind. I feel lighter and more carefree 🙂
The best change I have made is becoming involved in a community of women instead of trying to do this all alone. Seeing their struggles and wins, sadness and joys and having other people like my pictures or make a comment opens up a world I didn’t even know was the there. It’s kind of scary but rather marvelous. I want to continue it.
The best change I’ve made in my life since join this challenge, 8 would have to say is doing more for myself and telling myself daily that I am beautiful and a great person.
The biggest change I have made in my life since starting LMWL has been that I haven’t stepped on the scale. I haven’t felt tempted, and I haven’t felt the overwhelming desire to want to. That’s huge for me being that I have always been a compulsive weigher!
Best change I made in my life since starting these challenges would be to stop waiting on the weight. I will buy a swimsuit and swim with my grandkids now. I am scheduling swim dates with them for this summer! I will empty out my closet of all my skinny clothes and shop for pretty clothes that fit now.Realizing I need to treat myself well because I deserve it. Bath rituals, buy myself flowers just because, wear my makeup and red lipstick because –darn it all!–I’m worth it!
My number one struggle is energy. I have a 6 month old and had a rough recovery from a c section. I know I am not eating what I should because I have no energy to prepare healthy foods.
2. I could do some coloring tonight. That always relaxes me.
stop waiting on the weight: I am SO guilty of doing this. I always refuse to buy new clothes because I “plan” on losing the weight. Instead, I’m limited in my outfits, I feel so uncomfortable in my clothes, and I just view myself so negatively. I get scared that if I buy new clothes, I’ll just “feel more comfortable and gain more weight”. It’s the opposide. I feel uncomfortable in my own clothes, which depresses me, and I gain weight. I need to stop waiting. I need to get clothes that I feel amazing in and live my life.
Clean up my side of street in relationship: My husband and I have always had different interests, which is great when we want some “alone time”, but we need to also find things to do together. My biggest problem is that I will lay on another couch and drift off into iPad land. I promise to now set a time each night where I will unplug and spend the evening with my husband. Pinterest can wait!
Action step to rebuild relationship with my body: This is so hard for me to think about. Every time I look in the mirror, I just see my flaws. I think “disgusting, failure, fat”. I’ve never known how to love myself, and because of that, my self esteem has always been bad. I know it will take baby steps, but for now, the first step I will take is to meditate every day; even if it’s just 10 minutes. I need to clear my mind of the bad, and rid my whole body of stress.
Just the mental shift of putting the emphasis on living more!!! Thank you, Sarah! I love you!
The most important thing I have taken from this is the importance of bringing fun into my life. It has helped so much with establishing better work / life balance. Honestly, it’s that happiness that stops me needing to go to food for an emotional high.
Thank you.
1. My step in my relationship would be to try and actively listen more. I do poor job of that right now.
2. My body would be to get pedicures more often. I like how they feel and always feel pretty and refreshed after.
I didn’t realize that I was waiting on my body to live my life. Wow…I mean WOW!!! There is so much freedom in acknowledging this practice. Now I am asking myself, how to I feel amazing in my skin right now. What would I do differently if I was at the weight that I remember feeling great? Thank you.
It’s not a matter of a specific change that I’ve noticed but I feel vailidated for wanting to move forward both personally and professionally. I’m capable of contributing so much more in my daily life/relationships.This is where my struggle begins… the hunger and trying to feed it with food when food neccessarily isn’t the answer. I’m very gratful for cross paths with you!
Hi everyone! I’m so happy to have found Sarah and these videos! Her message and the Live More Weigh Less Lifestyle could not have been more timely for me. For the past 3 years I’ve struggled with binge eating, the great irony being that I’m also a personal trainer. I’ve spent almost every single one of those days beating myself up for not looking the way I “should”, going from one extreme diet to the next.
Today marks my 33rd birthday, and as I celebrate with my friends and family I am SO happy to share with them that I’m finally SO OVER perfection. Sarah helped me to see that I don’t have wait to be happy, and seeking perfection won’t ever be the thing to make me happy. I’m excited to move into this new year with a space and kindness for myself that I haven’t experienced a very long time.
Hi thank you for this. So true the waiting game. It really hit home.
I would like to stop the negitive voice and be gentle with myself.
Live in the now. To appreciate today.
Take a leap & stop saying it!

1. The biggest challenge with my body? Where to start?!? I lost over 50 pounds six years ago and kept it off for a few years. I have now gained back about half of that. I feel that going back to that way of eating would not be sustainable and that’s why I feel stuck. I got rid of all my “fat” clothes and now the new ones aren’t all fitting. Very discouraging.
2. For fun? I will read something I want to (not because I need to or for my kids!)
3. I will begin to pay more attention to how I’m eating and to lessen distractions.
I almost skipped the “career” part of this video- I’m retired I thought. I don’t have a career any longer… my career has past me by. But then I decided to stop and take the time listen anyway.I owed it to myself. What a revelation to me. Changing out the word “life” for “career” was a telling moment. Working at (my) life at this age IS my career now. So- how can I love my LIFE right now?? What can I do to effect change on the parts of my LIFE I am not happy with?? How can I bring more light and energy into my everyday LIFE to make it work better both within my home and outside it?? Cleaning up/ organizing my inside home environment will allow me the time to do more fun things for myself outside the home. I deserve to do this for myself. I need to do this for myself. This is big. This needs work and more thought. I can step outside the “career box” and redefine it. As for the spirituality aspect, this is something I have been investigating in one way or another over the past year. I had let it fall by the wayside a little bit ago, and know now that when I was actively employing more moments of spirituality in my daily struggle, I was happier and more at peace. It is time to get back to guided meditation and to re-examine thoughts I had earlier this year about taking a personal journey of faith- and just how to do that. I want to return to journaling my own struggles with spirituality, and to begin looking to rediscover my own sacred feminine. Thank you for this module, Sarah. It struck a chord.
This challenge has been wonderful. I think the biggest change is that I’ve changed perspective on a lot of things in regards to prioritizing myself and my family. I love my work, but it easily swallows me up since I work from home and it’s very hard to shut down and not work all hours of the day and night. This week I’ve made a significant shift to getting more work done during the day so I can be present for my daughter, my husband and myself at night. And I’m putting baths into my weekly schedule. Ha! I feel lighter and happier.
My work is in progress. I’m a wedding & family photographer, so I am doing what I love, but it continues to change and challenge me. Every aspect of my business is on me and it can become stressful and I have to remind myself of why I’m doing it in the first place, to build this life and to be a working artist.
I have loved this program and for me, the best part has been the AMAZING, INSPIRATIONAL women I have met. I have pushed myself to do things out of my comfort zone and enjoyed every task and I would love to do more.
I’m at a bit of a loss in terms of my career ….I want to work for myself and be able to provide for my beautiful baby girl but I don’t really know what I have to offer that the ‘world needs’. Ive enjoyed a 20 year career and seen some significant success but no longer want to make money for other people ….I want to be able to make money and provide for my family and those closest to me. I just don’t know how to achieve these goals ….any help or advice much appreciated
My best change is knowing that I can actually step up and do things a little outside my comfort zone, and so far I’ve survived! Taking time for myself and putting myself first is still a challenge but with effort (and planning) it can be done. I think connecting to my spirituality and actually putting intention there will be my biggest benefit.
Since embarking on this challenge, I have started running again!!! I used to do it regularly but life overtook, it is slow progress, but I am being kind to my body, building slowly and loving that she can still do it. I have also started to think more about my clothing choices, my closet is a homage to the dull queen, the ‘sink into-the -background’ walflower goddess of hidi g camouflaged in the shadows. I only just noticed it. I am making a commitment to buy one new clothing item a month, and going to attempt brighter colours. I am going to avoid autumn red and go for cherry, no more autumn orange, more of an actual citrussy juicy llush orange. I have been on a journey of learning to love myself, just today I called my sisyer out on her judgements of me, our toxic relationshio, and invited her to be real with me to grow, or stay superficial to remain stuck’. Perhaps I should invite her to this hallowed place of growth and love, you all will just overwhelm her with love.
Career: I already love my career, but it needs work, and on Friday I booked onto a course for this Sunday, it left me feeling the spark I joined up with. It’s up to me to grow in my learni g and become better at my job, my life and my patients lives will be enhanced. Thanks for the boost Sarah xx
I definitely need to work on spirituality in my life. This has been a good wake up call for me. Also, I’ve become stale in my career. I know I can get that spark back. Now the kids are getting older I need to spend some time on my self and husband! Thanks ?
Video 2 response: I am a teacher and due to the nature of my job I come home lacking in oantience with my family and exhausted. I still feel the need to do it all at home despite a very helpful husband. I am going to make an effort to release myself from being responsible for so much on days when I am overwhelmed. I put this pressure on myself. My husband would love it if I just ask for more help when I need it and relax so I’m less tense. As far as my body, I am going to do yoga more and listen to my body. It has changed with age and I don’t want to be okay with it. It’s scary. I need to shop for my changing body instead of being hung up on my former, younger self, size.
The best change since joining is I feel a sense of connection to myself; I’m more aware about doing/giving to me.Sounds small but it’s huge because I’ve been soooooooo disconnected for such a long time.
I am loving the #livemorechallenge, I am doing things and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone and realizing that I can do the daily challenges. Really getting mindful of myself and taking a step back from everything else has been very difficult, but so worth it. Thank you so much looking forward to this week and seeing what you have in store for us!! ❤️
Although scared, I am trying to have the COURAGE to ask myself to go deeper, so I opened week two of the challenge and watched Video 3! I want to be hopeful.
The biggest change I’ve seen since the challenge has started is that I’m being mindful of ME! These daily reminders that I am still Sarah, not “just” mom, wife, co-worker, and that I can treat myself well. Finding that inner peace does wonders on my whole outlook through the day.
I have started to have a conversation with myself; not just my body, but my psyche. I try to analyze things with myself and ask myself what I think about things instead of just falling into the same routine. It’s very liberating.
Sarah, you have changed my life! I can’t even begin to describe the changes in me in this past week. I’ve gone from being hurt and angry to being able to finally rebuild my sparkle!
I will be forever grateful for you and your path of life.
I would love to go further with you but as I’m newly a single Mom with three boys with special needs I just do t have any extra.
I Simply wanted to say thank you! I’ve been able to start to cut the cords behind me and take those valuable steps forward.
Much love and happiness to you!?
My biggest change since starting this challenge is not waiting. I have told myself a gazillion times I will take a zumba class when I have lost all this extra weight. Well, a friend mentioned going to a zumba class this Wednesday and invited me along and I said yes.
Changes I have noticed:
1.I have looked forward to doing something everyday because I have a challenge to focus on. I have started making my own “challenges” as second things to do each day because it feels so great to have something accomplished. I plan to keep setting little challenges/goals to meet each day after the challenge is complete.
2.I have been getting “out there”and doing more with my husband and/or children. I am so used to spending time sitting at home behind the screen (phone/tablet/TV). You almost forget that the world exists outside of social media.
3.I have been less concerned about what others think, and more “me focussed”. I have so much clothing I love, but have been afraid to wear because of how someone else might think I look. The past week, I put on some of those clothes anyway. I put on some make-up – which I don’t normally wear unless I feel I have to, because I don’t want to draw attention to myself.
I’m not completely ready to accept everything about me…but I feel like I’m not just an observer in my life anymore – I’m actually taking part!
