Fit Supermodel After Age 60 with Jodi Harrison Bauer

You know, it was hard. It's hard. Life is hard. So if we're going to just sit there and be the victim and say, life is hard, I can't do any better than I can, then don't expect these amazing results because you have to do the work.

Today on Midlife Conversations, I've got Jody Harrison Bauer. I can't wait to talk to you today because I have been stalking your TikTok, your Instagram. Y' all, listen to this. You, you have to look at her pages. First of all, you're not going to believe it. She's 62. She looks 30. Like I'm not exaggerating. She does not even look close to what we define as a society as thinking 62 is. I had to have her on because I was once stalking her page. I love her information, what she shares. She's so us. She's so what we've been talking about on this podcast, on this show, but also interesting facts about her. She did not get started in this whole fitness helping women journey until she was four. 42 is when she started changing her life. 50 is when she really started focusing on a business. So you are not too old and it's not too late if you're listening now. She's just hitting her stride now, like really hitting it. At 62, she also made it to the top 60. Top 60 of a huge competition with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit that she was the oldest one, I'm assuming in the competition I was. And you beat tons of women half your age. Huge accomplishment. She's been featured on Good Morning America, Inside Edition, the New York Post, People magazine and more. So I can't wait to dive into this conversation with you today. Thanks for being here.

Thank you so much. Thanks for the intro.

So, Jodi, take us back. Like, how did this even happen? Like, who Were you at 42? What shifted?

What changed at 42? I had no idea who I was. The only thing that defined me at that point was that I was a woman who went to the gym regularly and, and took care of my body. And I was the mother of two girls. They were then 9 and 13. Like horrible ages to ever get divorced. But it was that time where I left a very cushy life. I was a stay at home mom for almost 20 years. And I decided this. I wasn't living in my truth. I didn't know those words then, but I knew that I wasn't happy. And so to ask me who I was, the only thing that defined me is that was that I was a mom and that I liked to work out and I ate healthy. That that was really it. And from there, I was as low as low can be. I had to find my self esteem. I had no self esteem whatsoever. I had no self confidence. I thought I was dumb. I thought I was ugly. Those were all the things that I heard in my marriage. And I needed to show my daughters. I had to pick myself up, really pick myself up off the ground. I lost all my friends in our divorce and, and figure out who I wanted to be for the next 10 years. I didn't.

You were like really feeling. You were really feeling alone. It's not just divorce. It's like you're struggling with who you were.

I was very. Yeah, I didn't know because I had stopped working in 1989. Here it was, I was, I was 28 years old and now 42. I'm thinking, what the hell am I going to do? Who am I going to be? What do I want to be? What do I want to show these girls? And I, you know, finding friends, I figured, I'll just find them as I go along. I mean, there were a few stragglers that stayed friends with me, but for the most part, my social life had completely changed. And so it was time for me to obviously be always the best mother I could be. But also, I knew way back then that in order for me to be the best parent to my daughters, I had to be the best version of me. Nobody was talking about this. There was no social media. There was nothing. There was nothing, nothing, nothing. And I just knew instinctively that I had to get my shit together fast for my daughters. Yeah.

Yeah. Wow. It's. This is powerful because you're like, there was no social media.

There was no.

It's hard to even connect. Like right now, someone listening, going through this, at least they have podcasts, at least they have social media. They have places to find groups. We didn't have that then. You didn't have that then.

There was no right. I lost my community. When I got divorced, everybody. Yeah, nobody could believe that I would leave that life. And I'm like, yeah, me, I am.

What was the pivotal moment that started to turn this around?

You know, I just continue to go to the gym. I decided, I continue to eat the way I was. And then I, I put myself out there and started dating also. You know, all that, all there was back then was match.com and I'm Jewish, JDate. So I put myself on both of those. And as I went out More when the girls were with their dad on Wednesdays and every other weekend I went out and I dated. And that helped me figure out who I was. Not by those men defining me.

Yeah.

But feeling more self confidence, finding that self esteem, realizing I'm not ugly, I'm not dumb.

Yeah.

All of those things that I was told in my marriage that I found, okay, yeah, it was him, not me. And then I started to just start to educate myself and that's when I started to really dig deep and training more women and working with women. Because you know what, whatever we're feeling, we know that other women are feeling too. And we could empathize more. And you know that when you train other women, it's the relationships that you have understanding what their pain points were.

And then from there, like half psychologists, half a totally trainer.

Totally. And so from there, one of my goals, when I was in my mid-30s, I had gotten into the best shape of my life after my youngest was born at 32. So by 35 is I was in the best shape of my life. And I said, I want to be a fitness competitor. That was my next goal. So I had a bucket list of things to do. So I'm very, very goal oriented. I'm the firstborn, I'm a Capricorn, whatever you want to say about those things. But I'm very goal oriented and I will not, I do not accept losing ever.

At all.

And so from there, I found a coach. And then I started competing. And that's when I realized that I was allowing fear to get in my way. That was my biggest obstacle. It's why it took so long to divorce, because I was scared. I was scared, I was scared, I was scared, I was scared, I was scared. So every time I took another leap, go on match.com, take another leap, go on dates, take another leap, get on a fitness stage. And those were all leaps. And you know that when you step over fear or embrace it, you become stronger on the other side. That happens every single time. Because we, if we let fear stop us, then we're never going to be able to be our authentic selves. And that's why I named my podcast Fearlessly.

I love that. That makes so much sense. That makes sense. And I think this is a message that women really need to hear right now. Because there's some, there's women listening right now and some guys listening that are really feeling that way where they're, they're feeling this fear and it's holding them back. And you just kept saying, Take another leap. Take another leap. Which I love that because it's breaking it down smaller. It's not like you have to go fix everything and change everything. It's just take these little leaps and you get there.

It's very, very true. And you know what increments I can't look at? And I'm sure you know this from training and in all your experience, you can't tell somebody who wants to lose £100 that, that you're going to lose it within a year because that seems so they can't grasp it. You take it at 12 week increments, depending on the person, if they could even look 12 weeks. So for me, again, I instinctively, it's interesting because I never thought of this until now. I instinctively knew I needed to go by little tiny increments and I became a stronger woman as a result. I started removing toxic people. There were two very good friends in my life that I knew from high school, grammar school. When I told them at like 45, 46 that I was thinking about competing in a fitness show, the girl said to me, I don't understand why in God's name you would want to get up on stage in a bikini and strip her heels. Like, why? And I said, because I think I can.

Yes. Oh my gosh, Jodi, we are so similar. I don't know. I didn't tell you this part, but when I was first deciding my first goals was to be a fitness model too. Like when. And I was, I didn't really know why that was a goal. I just knew I was getting my body back. And I'm like, I want to be a fitness model. And I told a friend that and she said that I was mortifying. So that same kind of experience. And I remember in that moment, like, why is that mortifying? Because you think so, like what?

Right? And we're so fragile that those friends don't understand that this is trying this for whatever it is. We all do things to try to build up our confidence, build up our self esteem, although we may not know that we're doing it at that time, but we know that whatever we're trying to do at that time is going to help us. Yet we don't know where it's going to take us. We have no idea. I didn't know. And, and, and the guy said to me, he was a friend and he said to me, I think it's the dumbest thing you could ever do, Jodi.

Wow.

And I just said, I remember talking to a therapist, therapists are very good. And she said, jodi, just step away from that. Divorce them momentarily. And that's what I did. I said, you know what? It was at that age. So a long time ago, 46, 47 years old, I put up that barrier and I said, I do not want that. What we call now toxicity.

Yeah.

If you don't, if you are not with me, then I need to keep you away from me at this point right now because it's not good energy. But I didn't know, like, we talk about this stuff on social media. I didn't know that I was doing it. So for the women listening to this podcast right now, listen, if you are thinking about doing something, go for it. Do not let the negative people in your life tell you not to do it. Listen to your gut. Listen to your gut. I say listen to your gut more than your heart. Right. Because your heart's gonna scare you. You're gonna be like, I'm afraid. And then there's your head.

Yeah. Because what I think is we have these voices in our head telling us, you're a loser. You can't do this. What are you thinking? Like all that negative talk, I call it false assume truths. Right? So that's happening. And then you have a friend that you or family member that validates that with their negativity. And now you're like, well, it confuses you. You start second guessing yourself. And I love what you're saying because I had to do that same thing. I had to recognize it and go, nope, not listening to that. That's just. No, there's evidence of something else. And I had to. It was like a forced focus and a force. Like you said, temporary divorce or leave. But it. We don't realize. Just like we're clearing our body of toxins, we got to clear our world of the toxic people too.

It's so true, and it's very, very hard. And that's again where you start finding your strength. You're like, I can do this. I can remove these people from my life. I do not need to have these people in my life if they're not. That doesn't mean that I need the. I need everyone to agree with me on every decision I make. But I'm a grown ass woman woman at this point. Two little girls I'm raising. Like, I need to do these things. Again, not knowing, as I'm sure, Natalie, you've. You've gone through not knowing where the thing was going to take you. Right. This is what feels right right now. Like with a divorce, it's hard. It's really, really hard. But we do it and then we're like, okay, this is why I did it.

Yeah. You know, no, it all makes sense later. Okay, so this is, this is super. I love that. So I want everyone to hear this because, like, just like me, just like you, just like many other guests I've had, we've had to battle opinions of others and that's a people pleasing thing. But you have, it's like knowing, nope, there's something bigger for me. I'm not going to listen to this. How did this turn into a business? And then how did, where did the Sports Illustrated thing come from?

Okay, I'll try to go through it fast. So I started competing at 47, became a two time consecutive world champion at 49.

Wow. Which is insane right there.

That's the right. I was the oldest client of my, my coach. She, I was the oldest woman she had. And at the time when I did start competing, it was only 35 and over. I said to the coordinator, the person who was running these, these fitness shows, I said, you know, you've got a bunch of women backstage that are all over 45. There's about seven to 11 of us. I said, you know, there's a big difference between a 35 year old.

45.

Big, huge. Like you're perimenopausal, for God's sake.

It's. There's not a difference.

I was going through menopause at 49 on stage.

35, by the way. We like still thought like, oh, we're aging amazing. It's easy. Like we don't. It's. You don't get it.

No, you don't get it. It's just, it's, it's. And he was a man, like, he doesn't get it. So anyway, he did open it up to 45 and over and calling it Masters. So what happened was I won two consecutive world shows that finally Natalie gave me the confidence to say, you know what, Jody, you've been training women all along. Teaching classes, having impact on women's lives. Now it's time to make it into a business. And I started online not knowing what the hell I'm doing. Remember, this is 2009. I don't know what I'm doing. I was a buyer for 10 years. That was my experience. And then getting into fitness. And so then I opened up my first studio in 2010 and I basically grabbed all the clients I had from a big box gym. I was the number one Trainer there. And it was because of the relationships, it was because of my knowledge and it was because of my age. And my boss at the time at this big box gym was about 32 years old. And he said, I know what you're doing. Because I was losing. None of them were continuing to sign up. He said, I know what you're doing. I found out that you're opening up your own place. He goes, who the hell do you think is going to want to train with a 50 year old woman? I. Watch me. I said watch me.

Well, see that's so interesting how people turn to like here's who's your boss. You don't see this nasty side and then that's where they go.

Yep. Wow. 32 year old man who had no clue and just thought I was an old lady. And that's what I was being told by my friends. You're too old to get on stage, you're too old to open a business, you're too old to train women. You're too old, you're too old to. You're too old.

And I have a question here because this is going to be, this is relevant and super important. You and I are super strong and have gotten past those comments.

Yes.

And there's a lot of people listening now that don't know they're super strong yet. And those comments really hold them down. Can you kind of just walk through like what does that feel like, that gut punch when you get that comment and what's your process like? Do you start to believe that for a while? Do you instantly shut it down? Like what? I want to like help people here because some people really get handicapped by those, those comments. They don't know what to do.

I like that question. At first when I didn't have the self confidence, I let it affect me. It stopped me right in my passageway, my pathway. I didn't move. I was just consumed with it. I listened to them. I did go back to thinking I wasn't good enough, but competing and finding that inner tenacity that I never knew I had, that was the biggest thing about competing. I didn't know how mentally strong I was. I knew physically I was strong. Yeah, nobody could come near me but, but mentally strong, I did not know that I had that mental tenacity until then. So at that point, by the time I had competed and won those two shows, I didn't let it. I was like, that's your opinion. I am going goodbye to you. So if anybody is struggling with that, please believe in Yourself enough. Please, please, please. Know your worth. I know we throw those. Those words were not around for me.

Yeah.

Know your worth. Really know who you are. And if it needs, if you need a mentor or coach, and a great coach is so important in any woman's life or a therapist, get that. Because you, you are worth it. Don't listen to those, don't listen to those awful voices in your head.

Yeah. And you did show him you grew a business.

I did. I grew a business. He never apologized, but he did see me grow my business. I won all kinds of awards for having the best boutique fitness studio. I won personal training awards. I won all kinds of award. It was an award winning studio. And then from there I did continue to compete a little bit more. The last show I did was at 56 after my mom had her stroke. And I said, okay, Jody, get your ass on stage one more time. I'm post menopausal puzzle, ladies. You know, I am way past menopause and I'm placed second worldwide when I lost to a 45 year old woman. So that was, I was probably like, I thought I was in the best shape of my life in 49, but this is where the difference is as we get older. And I want everybody to understand this. The reason I felt that I was at my best at 56 was because my, I was mentally, I was so mentally strong then. My mind and my body were at the same place for the first time in my life.

So good, so good.

And so what happened after that, like a couple of years later, two years later, is my youngest daughter said to me, mom, I think you should try out for Sports Illustrated swim. And I said, alexis, you know, I'm done. I'm like, I'm good. I'm, I'm good. I had just gotten married, you know, second time. And so she said, no, you're the only one that I know who can walk and talk in a bikini. I'm like, she's like, there's nobody your age competing. And you always talk about women stepping outside of their box and, and living in their truth. So that's what I did. I didn't make it through the first round, which was all online. They just picked a few women. And then for the second round, I had needed to fly to south beach. And that was going to be, you know, a wide open cattle call. And I was just like, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. This is ridiculous. I'm 58. This is ridiculous.

I'm assuming there's like 20 year old women in this.

It's like really 20 year old women? Like, 20. Like my 30. My oldest daughter is now 34. Almost 34. Was 30 at the time. And she looked like a grandma next to these girls. So she lives in Miami.

They're like babies.

Yeah, they were like babies. And so I'm. My daughter said to me, my youngest, she's like, put on your big girl pants and get your ass down to Miami. I'm like, whoa, okay, you're going to challenge me. I'm going to go down there. And then from there, what happened was. Okay, this is interesting. Standing in line for like three hours. It's pouring rain. I keep getting these phone calls, New York phone calls. I'm so nervous. I don't. You know, I said to my daughter, will you look at these phone calls? We look at these text messages. I don't. I can't look at it. I have to stay focused. It was Good Morning America who said, we just heard about you. I'm in line. I haven't even done anything yet. And she. And they were like, we wanted.

You're just like, registered, basically, and you're.

I haven't even registered. I haven't even gotten to the registration lane. How'd they hear about it? I don't know. I don't know how they heard about me. And I just told my oldest daughter, please take care of this. So it was Inside Edition, all of these before I even got in there. So later that night, I found out that I made it to the top 60. And then the next day, meantime, the New York Post was in touch with us. Everybody is coming to me to do interviews. I'm like, how do people know that I'm doing this? And I'm realizing that's why I need to be doing this, because validation, right? There are women out there who need to hear my voice. This is why you're doing it, Jodi, because you don't even realize that there's a global. This is a global response to what you're doing. The next day when I showed up, the 60 of us who showed up, register again. On the front page of the New York Post is my picture. Oh, my God over there.

Wow.

And my daughter was like, mom, look who's on the COVID of the. I had no idea. I had no idea. So it was an incredible experience, and I'm so glad that I did it. And.

And how amazing, because here you're. You, like, really dive into the fire. It's like, okay, You're, I mean, I'm just trying to imagine my hands are sweating thinking about it. Like you're flying to Miami. You're going to be in a bikin bikini with 20 year old girls. Yeah.

It's like.

And you're thinking, you have the voice of all these people telling you why you can't your daughters believe in you. But you got the other things, you got your own stories. You have to be thinking, what am I doing? Who you know? And it's like, that's the validation that you needed to keep going. And it, it's.

I did. I did. It was the next jump. It was the next jump to the next part of my journey in helping women embrace who they are, age the way they want, be unapologetic and not feel like there's any expiration, you know, stamp on their back, any limitations.

And Jody, I always say we are not told and we are not too late. That's like my saying, I say it all the time. And like, this is a total example of this. Everyone. I mean, she didn't even change herself till 42. She didn't start a business till 50. She did not enter into this contest to later. She's 62. Listen to this. She's competing with 20 year olds. It's amazing.

It was crazy. It was crazy. And meeting all the women that I met and it was a great experience. And I was on German tv. They, they came here to do a show on me, came to my house and I just realized that there's, there is just such an impact that I can make for women my age who feel like they're ready to give up on love, on health and wellness. I'm like, no, you are still vibrant, you are still vital, you are still relevant. You still get out there and show the world who you are. Don't give up. And that's what I'm finding now is that so many women over 60 who are single are giving up on love, giving up on themselves, giving up on.

And I think, Jodie, it's so much of it stems. I mean, I see this all the time. Like women in their 50s and 60s. It's so far, few in between. And I really want to shift that. And I know you do too. I look at my friends now and I'm sure you've got friends like mine where I feel like they are living their best life, like they are thriving at 60. They are. Like there's, they're still taking on new challenges. You and I talked beforehand about you doing more online Business like, right, we're taking on challenges and then there's, there's a whole huge percentage of people thinking they can't. And I believe that thinking they can't is from the brainwashing of media. It's from the brainwashing of friends and toxic culture and all these things saying we're too old, we're too washed up. Like that manager that said, who do you think you are at 50? And we've got to start shutting that out and looking for examples that this is possible.

Well, I think right now what we're seeing, and I'm sure you agree there is a bit of shift on the older woman, on the more mature woman, but they're few and far between. And that was my point with Sports Illustrated is like they, they do show off the older woman, but they're usually older models that were in Sports Illustrated swim. Like Cheryl Tiegs.

Exactly.

For example, Brooke Shields, Christie Brinkley. And like no, let's put a real woman, not a model, not an actress. And I made that very specific when I spoke to them. I want a normal woman. Now some, most people wouldn't consider you and me normal. Right, right.

It's true. But why not? Like we should be the normal, like exactly normal.

Exactly. And so that, that is what I realize is missing out there and talking to more and more women 55 and over, menopausal women who just feel like it's just the end. And I, my heart literally breaks for them. And I know that once they start feeling better in their body, which is, I help them too. That's the first step, right? Yeah.

Because then you get the confidence to take on new things. When I used to sell my fat loss programs and fitness, what I noticed is when women would have their transformation, they would go through and like lose the weight and feel great and amazing. Next thing that came up, I want to take a new on a new job. I want to start dating. I want to like that's their purpose. Then finds themselves from that. But this is that first step. You know, you said something a minute ago about what we think the norm is for 55 plus when I am ever. I have a lot of programs and books and things. Whenever I'm looking for stock images, it's like a joke in my company if I, I have to use like 35 year old pictures because if I search like if you just go to look at a stock image for 50 or 60 year old women, we find grandmas, we find.

Absolutely.

We find gray hair bent over like.

You find like the extreme overweight.

Yeah, it's not represented. So if. And then I always have said to my team, well that's not aspirational. So then you have to go find like what women want to look like. And it's not. I want to shift that because it's just not. Doesn't have to be the reality. And the reason so many of you listening feel like it's hopeless is because that's what we're seeing.

Right.

All we see.

Right. And even, you know, that reminds me of when I did win the World shows. And I said to my coach at the time, who was very. We were. Oxygen magazine was our bible. Oxygen, of course. So I was in that also. But I wanted to be on the COVID of Oxygen magazine. And I remember saying to my coach, why are you putting the 22 year old? Why are you promoting her to be on the COVID of Oxygen? What about me? And she goes, harrison, nobody wants to see a 49 year old woman on the COVID of Oxygen magazine. I'm like, yeah, they do. Because you know what? I don't want to look at a 22 year old. She's not inspiration or aspiration. What does she know about life? And she should look like that at 22.

So my two best performing covers, I was 49 and I'm just like. And the magazines were shocked too, but they put my age on it and they said, but I'm like, this should not be a shock. Like, why not? And then why should we have 60 and then 70 and all that? And I'm not saying take away the aspiration. Like, of course people want aspiration. But there are some seriously fit 70 year olds that look amazing. Like, why aren't we highlighting and featuring that as an aspiration? It's not. And no insult to the person who's 20 that works their butt off at the gym. I got. It's hard, but it's a lot easier at 20 and 30 than it is at 50, 60 and 70.

Yeah. I mean, I see all these competitive competitors now, they're all in their 40s or late 30s and they've had babies and some of them are struggling.

Yeah.

Oh, now you know what it.

Now you know. And wait till 50.

Right? When you saw grandma at 49 competing, go, you look so good. I'm like, yeah, it's a lot harder. Yeah, it is. It is a lot harder. But that doesn't mean that as it gets harder. It's not.

That's right. That's the difference. See, this is the difference. People take hard as the excuse, and they stop. But we, you and me and many people that we are trying to help, if you take that mindset shift and go, no, it's just another challenge. It's just another challenge, and I'm going to walk through it. Things might be harder, they might take a little bit longer, but they are absolutely possible. They absolutely are.

Right. And you were saying that after your divorce, you. You really delved into getting yourself healthier, changing the way you ate after. After getting divorced. And, you know, it was hard. It's hard. Life is hard. So if we're going to just sit there and be the victim and say, life is hard, I can't do any better than I can, then don't expect these amazing results because you have to do the work.

What are your thoughts on. And I'm so curious because we have so much in common. So I'm just. I'm thinking your answer is going to be similar.

I know. I feel like you're my little sister. I really do.

And so when you. When you said this about, well, everything you're saying, I'm just curious. Your answer before I even say what mine is. But what do you think of this whole conversation of, like, age gracefully or try to do things that make us look younger? Like, where do you stand on that spectrum?

Specifically? Okay.

When it comes to appearance, like, hair and, like, skin, like, things that we're doing, like, are you of the mindset? Like, let's fight it, or you have the mindset, like, everyone should embrace it. Like, where do you stand on that spectrum?

Yeah, that's a good question. My standpoint is age the way you want. So if you want hair extensions, I have hair extensions.

You see me, too. We are. We might be related.

Yeah, I have hair extensions. I didn't share.

You see us on video. We pretty much have the same haircut, too. We did, like, the same highlight, the same.

Right, right. We. I. I didn't start sharing that I wore extensions because I was like, what are people going to say? What are people going to think? Like, that I don't really have this long, luxurious hair. And then I started realizing, jodi, if you don't share this, then you can't help other women. So I started sharing extensions. I started sharing the thinning hair and what I was doing. So my answer to your question, I would say it is about aging the way you want to age. So if you don't want to get Botox, if you don't want to get fillers, then don't. Yeah, but don't shit on the people who want to, you know, because we're all aging the way we want to. I want to look in the mirror and say, I like the way. I mean, and I'm going to be unapologetic about it. Before, I was very nervous about anybody calling me out, and now people are like, yeah, and you get Botox on TikTok and like, fuck, yeah, I do.

Sorry.

Like, yes, I do get Botox. Yes, I do. I'm 62 years old. When you're 62 and you've had two children, gone through a divorce, lost your parents, and had two miscarriages, you tell me if you need Botox. Okay.

By the way, I wish I could get Botox. I actually can't get. When I have one of those, like, super strong eyebrows from when I was little. So if you got. Well, thank you.

But I had.

They're uneven. And I. Because I had a tumor when I was three removed. It was benign, but. But it damaged the muscle there. So when out of the times that I did try biotech Botox, I was like a freak. Like, one eyebrow. So one didn't do it. And so I was like, I just have to embrace and not get it. So I've learned. But. But I feel the same way you do. Like, whatever you want to do for you, whether it's a facelift or Botox or no Botox, you want to color hair, you don't want to color hair.

Boobs, whatever, breast enhancement, reduction, whatever it is that you want to do. You know, I recently shared, and I don't know if you. You scroll down far enough on my Instagram or TikTok, but I had a tummy tuck in November.

That's amazing.

Yeah. And it wasn't because I was fat, because I wasn't.

Yeah. You had already competed, clearly. And all kinds of things before that.

Right, right. And the thing that when I competed, even at 105 and, like, 15, body fat, my stomach stuck out because my.

Muscles had separated from having babies.

Right. And at 62, I noticed that my skin was becoming more lax. So the combination of those two things, I said to my husband, I'm getting the tummy tuck. I don't care. Like, I just need to do this. And I didn't share it because I was embarrassed. I'm like, I'm in the fitness industry, but this isn't for fat loss. This isn't for weight loss. I haven't lost £1.

I love that you shared that, Judy. And I hate when. And nothing irks me more than the girls. And this is. They have the butt implants and they tell. Tell about program now. Like, just be real. Just share what you did and who cares? Or don't share, but don't. Don't fake it. Don't. Like, if you don't want to share, fine, but don't act like it came from something else.

Exactly. And we both know that nutrition is number one. And feeling good in your body, it's important because I felt myself losing. I'm like, who. Who is that person in this body now? I wasn't feeling myself anymore, and it was getting to the point over the summer, I didn't want to put on a bathing suit. And so, ladies, do what you need to do. And again, what Natalie and I were saying is, don't listen to other people. Do what you want to do, because this is your life and it goes by really fast.
