Hey, I’m Lainey!
Weight loss dietitian and mom of four here to help you lose weight in a sustainable way by getting consistent with the habits that matter but staying flexible enough to enjoy your life.
If you’re a busy mom who feels like you eat healthy and workout but aren’t getting the results you want, you’re in the right place.
Hey again!
I’m Lainey, weight loss dietitian, mom of 4 boys, and believer that life is too short to stress about food, your body, and the scale.
But when your clothes don’t fit and everything you try only yields short-term “results,” you do constantly think about food, your body, and the scale.
It doesn’t have to be this way. You can lose the weight and feel good in your clothes again. But what worked in your 20s won’t work now.
You have to change the way you go about losing weight – especially if you’re over the age of 35.
Our signature process, The Sustainable Weight Loss Method:
- Leads to results that lasts
- Teaches you what to add to your diet, instead of what to take away
- Helps you create healthy, sustainable habits
- Shows you how to workout smarter, not harder
- Optimizes your metabolism for fat burning and overall health as you age
We teach you how to lose weight the sustainable way – by creating habits that stick. And we do it with a real-life approach (after all, I’m a mom of four who loves a good cocktail!).

Our Sustainable Weight Loss Method

Step 1: Master the Mindset
For results that last, you need a new mindset around how you approach weight loss. We help you get out of the all or nothing mentality, stop seeing foods as good or bad, and develop habits that become a part of your lifestyle.

Step 2: Balance Your Plate for Fat Loss
Instead of calorie counting, we’ll teach you our easy-to-follow Balanced Plate Framework & 80/20 approach. You’ll learn what to add to your plate, instead of what to take away, so you can lose weight without feeling hungry, restricted, or deprived.

Step 3: Workout Smarter, Not Harder
No, you don’t have to workout 6 days/wk or do endless hours of cardio. We’ll teach you which workouts boost fat burn and how you can fit them into your busy life.
