So inspiring I love this podcast I’m 26 years out from bypass surgery. Although I’ve kept my weight off all these years I’ve hit my plateau and gained 20 pounds back from my 100 lb weight loss. And it’s like that old saying 2 steps forward 3steps back. Starting over again and I needed something and someone else’s advice, encouragement and inspiration. Thank you ladies for the journey I’m taking with you all.

I love this podcast. I have never had bariatric surgery, but am on a weight loss journey with Weight Watchers. This podcast is informative and so uplifting and positive to listen to. It has helped me in so many ways. Great information, tips, tricks and insights from 2 amazing women. Keep them coming and I’ll keep listening! ❤️

Teresa you are such an educated and profound speaker. You are able to make your points so lovingly, yet firm with seriousness. You inspire me to be a better nurse & wife Mike has a real gem in you .

So I’ve followed Tonya for quite a while. Had RNY in ‘22 at 46 y/o. Lost 140 lbs. Neve ever thought I’d do that surgery let alone plastics for skin removal. I’m now 15 days post op FDL with muscle repair and been feeling like I’m sooo alone and definitely underestimated the recovery! Had this podcast saved when it was launching but didn’t listen. Today I started and OMG these ladies are telling my story!!! I’m not alone!! You need to hear this. No one tells this part of warns you about all these nuances!!! Thank you ladies!! You are a blessing and a God send.. on time!!!

I wish this podcast was available when I had VSG 12 years ago, I lost 100 lbs ( not goal) and have gained back 75 lbs. I have isolated myself because seems like I have failed again and so much loss in my life. I have that negative voice telling me I’m 61 and it’s too late, even had drs tell me no hope at my age. Please keep up the good work, so glad I found y’all!! ♥️

You guys are amazing! I’ve followed Tonya for a while and now I have found Teresa Marie. Both of you post such messages of hope and joy and practical tips, and I can’t get enough! Now your podcast! It’s like chatting with two besties getting all that love and support! Love you guys!!

I have been following you both for so long on TikTok. So I was beyond excited that yall started this podcast. I have struggled my whole entire life being morbidly obese. And you are exactly right if you haven’t been obese people don’t understand what we’ve gone through. Thank you for everything that yall do and share with us all. It’s beyond a blessing to me. Xoxo love you ladies!

I absolutely love you both and being so open and transparent about your journeys has given me so much inspiration in my own journey! Can't wait for it the next podcast!!

God bless Tonya! Like she says in this episode, “You didn’t lose weight because of me, I just helped motivate you!” That’s exactly why I’m typing this review while walking on the treadmill. She has helped motivate and encourage me mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I didn’t know weight loss could be done on my terms until I saw Tonya on WayerTok and make her cottage cheese bowls. …I don’t even like cottage cheese! But I like these and I love Tonya. This episode is a wonderful motivator and intro to each of these ladies’ stories. Can’t wait to listen to new episodes! Thank you both for being accessible and encouraging!

Been following both Teresa and Tanya for over a year. With surgery and guidance from their tik toks I have lost over 130 lbs and counting. Endless motivation from both! and I am so excited to follow this podcast

Just on this podcast alone I can totally relate. Thank You Tanya and Teresa! Looking forward to future episodes and learning new things on post bariatric surgery plus the support.

I started following Teresa just before her skin removal and found Tonya at the same time. I have been blessed by their honest sharing of the incredible weight loss journeys they are on! This is a huge treat to listen to both these Wonderful Women sharing all the trials and tribulations of being morbidly obese, but fighting the good fight coming out the other side in Victory over obesity! I am so inspired and encouraged to never give up the good fight, by listening to these Awesome Ladies. Thank you Tonya and Teresa for All you do!!

I am so excited that you two are doing a podcast. I love you both so much and I could listen to you both all day!!! You’re both so inspiring and I can hear your voices in my head throughout the day when I’m trying to motivate myself to take a walk or make a healthier version of whatever I’m eating. Thank you, thank you, thank your for all of your words of love and positivity!!

Myjourneystarts5— This first episode was great! This podcast will be amazing and help so many of us❤️❤️❤️

I have been following Tonya for quite a while now on TIkTok and IG and was excited to learn about this podcast. As a young widow on a weight loss journey myself I love hearing and gathering tips and tricks to make my journey successful, and that is definitely what got me hooked on Tonya’s social pages. She has great information, recipes and is one of the most inspirational and motivational people I have “met” in a long time. So happy and excited for her to start this new chapter of her life. Just found out about Theresa through Tonya’s page and she is a hoot!! Cannot wait to hear these two besties together every week!!! 🩷🩷
