At CMW, we help people ditch strict diets, enjoy their fitness, and stay motivated for lifeđđ» You will be able to eat anywhere, not be restricted to your home.
At Create my Weight, we support our clients on their Health and Weight Loss journey. We follow an anti-diet approach that is sustainable and stress-free, with our 4-step strategy to Food Freedom:
1) Nutrition: learn how to balance, not count, macronutrients (fats, carbs, protein, and alcohol) for weight loss, maintenance, and health. Learn how to eat the foods you love and balance them with more healthy foods. No more giving up the foods you love or spending hours in the kitchen!
2) Fitness: At CMW, we help you create a custom, sustainable fitness routine that you enjoy and can stick to long-term. You'll be sure it's well-balanced and designed for RESULTS. It can incorporate all kinds of movement that the client prefers, whether it be dance, cardio, strength-training, and/or flexibility.
3) Motivation/Mindset: Most importantly, CMW clients will master the art of unshakeable motivation, willpower, and determination to succeed and solidify their healthy lifestyle. Learn how to manage stress and overwhelm, improve time management, and reduce emotional eating. Clients learn how to overcome their negative self-talk and fears of failure, since they will be losing weight in a way they enjoy and works for them!
4) Accountability: At CMW, your success and long-term results are our #1 priority. Our 1:1 mentorship and group coaching community are the perfect balance for 24/7 support. Here's how our accountability works:
A) Remote 1:1 check-ins to keep you on track, celebrate your successes, and troubleshoot your obstacles. B) Phone and email access 7 days a week, for additional questions and support. C) Private Facebook community for current clients, with access to live cooking classes, monthly challenges (for prizes!), additional recipes and tutorials, and a supportive network of men and women who have the same goals! To see if CMW is a good fit for you, please visit www.createmyweight.com/apply, and schedule a complimentary Strategy Session. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.

How Cynthia lost 20 lbs in 16 weeks w/ EASE & Food Freedom đ·đđ§
This 56-year old NY-based artist came to me wanting to lose 30 lbs.
Here was her history:
â She had tried 4 different diets, but nothing worked long-term
â She had a trainer, but wasnât exercising regularly outside of those sessions
â She traveled a TON for work and for fun.
â Her and her husband are foodies and love to try new restaurants and order Thai take-out
â She loves a good spicy margarita & Mexican food
â She wanted to eat more of a plant-based diet, but still wanted to have Food Freedom when she traveled & did things with her family.
When working together, I took all of these factors into consideration, but hereâs what mattered the MOST to Cynthia and Iâ she needed FLEXIBILITY & EASE in her eating.
No diet ever worked because they were too rigid & restrictive. As an artist, she values flow & creativityâ she wanted the ability to choose foods for herself & not be tied to a plan.
Sounds like something you want, too?!
This is Food Freedomâ flow, flexibility, and ease.
However, Cynthia knew she needed structureâ and Food Freedom gave her that, too.
The best part of Cynthiaâs story? She went on THREE vacations during the 16 weeks & still lost 20 lbs!
This is the magic that happens inside The Lifestyle Accelerator:
â 1:1 support from me to truly nail your nutrition so itâs simple, sustainable, and EFFECTIVE for shedding lbs and inches
â 3x a month group coaching calls to fine tune your nutrition, workout routine, and hold you accountable
â Access to my workouts, NEW nutrition resources, and my favorite accountability tools
â A 24/7 inspiring community that keeps you moving, focused, and aligned with your goals
â Custom- created lessons to bolster your consistency & discipline so youâre successful for LIFE and wonât need help again.
Our first 1:1 nutrition planning session happens this week inside TLA 6.0.
DM me âNUTRITION HELPâ to claim your spot in TLA 6.0 and start losing weight w/ Food Freedom đ·đ

I currently live between CO & FL, but let me tell you about my ROOTS đȘđ»đźđč
I was born & raised in NJ, and I truly believe this is why Food Freedom is SO important to me!
Who else can relate?! đđ»
I canât imagine life without pizza, bagels, boardwalk fries, or diners.
In addition to being a Jersey girl, Iâm Italian and Puerto Rican đźđčđ”đ·
My favorite dessert is a cannoli; Scott actually got me a cannoli- making kit for Christmas this year đ
So when people come to me and say they donât want to be on a strict diet, theyâre preaching to the choir.
They also tell me they want flexible & simple nutrition because their lives are crazy busy.
I hear youâ Iâve never met a non-crazy-busy Jersey girl.
But, I also know how badly you want to shed pounds, tone up, and put on that dress without feeling like a stuffed sausage.
Iâve been there, too.
This is why I designed my Food Freedom nutrition formulaâso people can live their life without sacrificing their favorite foods and still lose weight in the process.
I designed it because I needed it myself, too.
I did every diet from ages 13-30. At age 30, I decided I was THROUGH with dieting.
And now at age 40, Iâve spent a decade teaching over 1,000 men & women how to live with Food Freedom.
If you want to learn it too, donât miss my upcoming FREE live event, âThe Anti-Diet Masterclassâ
You donât have to be from Jersey to attend, but you do need to love Food & FREEDOM from mainstream diets, calorie counting, and living at the gym.

And for funâ- if youâre from Jersey, comment below which town! đđ»

34% of Americans identify themselves as emotional eaters, and many others donât even realize they are one.
I knew I was one by age 13.
I used to sneak cookie dough, icing, and gummy bears in between meals without my mom catching me. This habit continued into college, except I hid it from my roommates.
The funny thing is that I would count calories & mainly eat protein & veggies, so everyone thought I was a healthy eater.
I exercised 6â7 days a week, so everyone thought I was super healthy.
But they didnât know that food was how I calmed my nerves.
When I moved in with my boyfriend at age 27, he caught me in the act.
He called me âThe Gremlinâ because Iâd wake up and eat in the middle of the night.
He also called me The Cookie Monster.
These names made me realize that I had to do something about my eating habits.
I couldnât out-train a bad diet.
And some of you reading this can relate, but many of you probably think, âthatâs not me.â
But hereâs what I see in you:
đYou probably overeat other foods or drinks & struggle to control itâ alcohol, chips, and other highly addictive foods
đ You know you need to work out consistently or at least increase your daily movement, but find all the reasons not to do it.
đYou eat healthy for a few days, then fall off the wagon when the weekend comes.
All of these struggles stem from your emotions & your relationship with food & exercise.
Until you change your relationship with food & exercise, you will not lose weight, build muscle, or create any sort of discipline & consistency in your life.
No meal plan, fitness app, medication, or podcast will help you.
You need to start changing from WITHIN.
In my upcoming live event, the Anti-Diet Masterclass,â I will show you exactly how to do this.
This class is for you IF:
đ«You feel stuck in the cycle of dieting â losing â regaining
đ«You want to lose weight without counting every calorie (emotional eaters hate this)
đ«You are tired of feeling guilty around food
đ«You want results that feel sustainable, not extreme
đ« You want to lose 10-30+ lbs and keep it off for GOOD

The New Year starts tomorrow, and nearly 70% of Americans will start a new dietđ If youâre one of these people, make sure itâs NOT one of these:
đ§The Keto Dietâ while a bit more flexible than the Carnivore diet, this diet will also devoid your body of a very important macronutrientâ carbohydratesâ which is crucial for metabolic health & cognitive function. Plus, muscles need carbohydrates to grow.
đ„The Whole 30 â Iâll admit, thereâs a lot that I LIKE about Whole 30 protocolâ healthier foods & cutting out lots of processed & inflammatory foods. However, after following this for 30 days, youâre bound to revert to old foods & regain some, if not all, of the weight back. And if you try to do the Whole 30 again, good luckâ it doesnât work as well the 2nd or 3rd time around.
đȘThe Cookie Dietâ yes, this is an actual diet. As much as I LOVE cookies, I wouldnât rely on cookies for all of our nutrition. It severely lacks protein, fiber, essential vitamins, and has WAY too much sugar.
đ€ȘThe Seefood Dietâ if you see food, you EAT IT! Youâve probably been on this diet for the last few weeks (or months), so I recommend changing it up in 2026. Overconsumption of food (and high fat, sugar, and low-quality carbohydrates) will lead to diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, CAD, Alzheimerâs, and a long list of preventable conditions.
So what diet DO I recommend?!
None of the mainstream diets.
I recommend eating in a way that supports your health & weight loss goals while still eating foods you enjoy.
This is NOT a cookie cutter, one-size-fits-all diet.
I call this way of eating Food Freedom.
In my upcoming live event, âThe Anti-Diet Masterclassâ, I will show you how this way of eating will help you shed 1â3 lbs a week like clockwork WITHOUT sacrificing pizza, wine, cheese, or your joy.
And if you donât think this is possible, Iâll walk you through it in the classâ itâs really simple.

I want more people to have Food Freedom in 2026â thatâs MY New Yearâs Resolution đȘđ»
So Iâve decided to kick off the new year with a NEW masterclass, âThe Anti- Diet Masterclass: How to Lose Weight Without Dieting Using The Food Freedom Formula đđ·â
In this LIVE masterclass, youâll learn how to lose weight by working with your body instead of fighting itâand finally feel FREE around food.
Most of you know me for my Food Freedom nutrition method, the center of my coaching. I have helped nearly 1,000 men & women achieve Food Freedom since 2017.
Food Freedom is the ability to eat the foods you love while looking and feeling like the hottest version of yourself!
It is NOT a one-size-fits-all diet. In fact, the 1,000 people whoâve learned Food Freedom all eat differently.
Why? Because they are all different people!
But they had one thing in common: they were SICK of diet culture. In factâŠthey were ANTI diet cultureâŠmaybe you can relate?
They didnât want to count another calorie or macro.
They didnât want to cut out all their carbs, fats, or joy.
They wanted a way to eat for LIFE.
Most importantly, they wanted to lose weight, build muscle, and feel lean & strong in their body.
So I created the Food Freedom nutrition method, and itâs the SIMPLEST way to eat.
And the results? INSANE! We are talking 10 pounds down in 10 weeks amazing!

Burnt out & ready for vacation?! This podcast episode is for you đïž
What if you took a vacation that lasted 1.5 years?!
One of my clients did this and hereâs whyđ
Recently on my Self-Invested Woman podcast, I sat down with CMW alumni from Chicago, IL, who did my 1:1 program back in 2022 and recently reconnected with me for 12 weeks of 1:1 support so she could go into her 55th birthday feeling FIT & confident!
When Darlene & I first met, she was SO stressed from work. She suffered from heart palpitations on a regular basis.
1.5 years ago, she decided to take a sabbatical and in that time published 3 books & worked on HERSELF. And in 2026, sheâs launching an entirely new business & publishing her 4th book!
Not everyone can take nearly 2 years off work, but what Darlene shared in this podcast can help us redefine what success is and how to build the confidence to choose a new path.
Success isnât always about money; itâs about learning to slow down, re-aligning w/ our priorities, and putting self-care at the top of our to-do list.

I help people lose weight and keep it off through small, gradual changes in their diet and lifestyle. We do this in a 1:1 and group coaching style.
After starting my career in the health industry as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor, I succeeded in making exercise fun and helping clients integrate exercise into their weekly schedules to lose weight, build muscle, increase energy, and improve quality of life. However, what I learned over the years is how many people overlook the single most important part of changing our bodies-- nutrition.
I worked out with the same people-- private clients and class members--for years, and although they enjoyed working out and saw changes in their bodies, they still weren't 100% happy with themselves. Thousands of hours and dollars spent on personal training, gym memberships, and diet programs hadn't delivered their desired results. They admitted that exercising wasn't the issue; the problem was sticking to a diet consistently that aligned with their lifestyles.
I got lots of questions, and I still do today, about all of the diets out there. "Does Keto work?", "have you tried the Whole 30?", and, "should I start tracking my macros?" While these have helped many people lose weight, only a small percentage keep it off and end up looking for the next solution. The truth is that I have tried these in the past, had success, and then gained the weight back when, inevitably, I stopped following the "rules". I am 50% Italian, 50% Puerto Rican, and 100% female, so I cannot live happily without espresso, wine, chocolate, bread, and having a say in what and when I eat, thank you very much.
âLong story short, after writing meal plans for clients and steering them in the right direction for healthier eating, I learned that permanent weight loss can be WAY more complex than having all of the right information and motivation, which, let's be serious, fluctuates as much as our weight does.
Permanent weight loss requires the following criteria:
Creating an action plan for eating more healthy foods
Limiting the unhealthy foods
Learning more about how our bodies work
Making little changes overtime on OUR terms
Celebrating small successes and not harping on setbacks
Having accountability for our behaviors
Once we commit to making these changes, build patience, and be honest with ourselves, we can create our weight. We create a lifestyle that we can sustain, and we find more joy in the weight loss journey.
To tell me more about your goals and see if I can help you lose the weight and keep it off for good, schedule a complimentary 45-minute Strategy Session with me at www.createmyweight.com/schedule
You have nothing to lose but the weight, once and for all!
