Have you ever stuck to a workout routine, only to wonder why the number on the scale isn't changing? You're not alone.
In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we're sharing our thoughts on a recent article that explores why exercise alone may not always lead to weight loss—and why that doesn't mean it's not improving your health. We discuss how weight loss, obesity, fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness are often far more complex than we've been led to believe.
As two people living with obesity, we share our personal experiences, opinions, and challenges while talking about the mental side of the journey, the frustration of seeing little change on the scale, and why focusing only on weight can overlook other important health improvements.
This isn't medical advice, it's an honest conversation about a topic that affects millions of people every day.

What if obesity is about more than just personal choices?
In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we dive into the hidden connection between income and obesity after reading a recent article exploring how obesity rates continue to vary across different income levels. We discuss why healthier choices aren't always the easiest or most affordable ones and how factors like the cost of food, access to recreation, education, and everyday stress can all play a role.
We also explore another major influence that often gets overlooked—advertising. From fast food commercials and social media marketing to oversized portions and constant food promotions, we talk about how the messages we're surrounded by every day can shape our eating habits without us even realizing it.
As always, we're not experts—we're sharing our experiences, thoughts, and perspectives as two people living with obesity while trying to make healthier choices. Join the conversation and let us know: Do you think income and advertising have a bigger impact on obesity than most people realize?

Is obesity really just about eating less and moving more? Or is there something deeper going on?
In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we dive into the growing conversation around the role genetics may play in obesity. New research suggests that some people could be genetically more vulnerable to gaining weight, raising important questions about why weight loss can feel so different from one person to another.
We share our personal experiences living in larger bodies and discuss:✅ Why some people seem to struggle with weight more than others✅ The frustration of being told it's all about willpower✅ How genetics, environment, and lifestyle may all work together✅ Why understanding obesity is more complicated than most people think
This isn't a scientific deep dive—it's an honest conversation about what this research means to us and to millions of people who have spent their lives battling their weight.
