  • You'll learn how to use journaling as an aid to weight loss to get you to your RESULTS faster! 
  • You'll learn how to "shift the shame" and turn around self-blame, and guilt - and shift negative thought patterns that create sabotage - all through using a daily journaling practice.
  • You'll learn how to INTEGRATE this with ease into your daily life. 
  • You'll learn about and practice the privacy and confidentiality of your journal and how to make it a safe space -even if you don't fully trust those inside your house.
  • You'll MASTER getting out of your head - so that you can finally reduce overwhelm, anxiety, negative patterns - and uncover things that may be holding you back on your journal.
  • Then you'll put it ALL into action - with ease and flow. 
  • And... if that's not all - you'll learn how to turn this into a MASTERFUL practice to guide you in creating the LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS!!

Meet your Instructor & Coach

Hi! I'm Dr. Kristin Lloyd.

Dr. Kristin Lloyd, PhD, LPC is a certified transformational mindset mentor, coach, psychotherapist, energy healer and Reiki master guiding individuals to embrace healthy habits, better relationships, and fuller richer lives after weight loss surgery.

The struggles with weight loss surgery are real.

Having been over 400lbs and having bariatric surgery myself, I understand the struggles with food, having to build new coping mechanisms, and the emotional challenges that arise.

Student Success Stories

I am 3 years post VSG. I was having some regain. I'd allowed old habits and patterns to return and feared I was losing control. I am now working on losing the regain utilizing the tools the program has taught me. This program is not a diet or quick fix. At first it is a little overwhelming - so much information and resources! But Dr Kristin and the coaches are there to guide you. I was able to answer why I overeat/binge eat, to recognize the emotions and face them. With workshops to practice the skills learned I now have plans and exercises in place.  The support provided is outstanding, from the coaches and Dr Kristin, to your fellow members. It is a safe space to express and explore your feelings and emotions.This program is worth every penny. There are so many resources, so much support, so much self discovery. As the layers peel back, the coaching sessions are there for you to verbalize what you're discovering and get feedback. Dr Kristin is particularly skilled at reaching in and pulling out the truth in all the BS. If you're looking for a program that will help you discover the emotions behind your eating, are willing to do the hard work and learn tools to help you along the way this is the program you've been looking for! The food noise is much quieter and visits less often. When it does come I feel empowered and able to handle what comes along.

I joined the Bariatric Mindset Group Coaching Program after 40lbs of regain. When I signed up I had no idea what to expect. I took a while to get involved but when I did the changes it made in my life have been unbelievable. The support calls, deep dives, hot seat calls and facebook group have provided the breakthrough I was looking for. I got more from the participation in the Bariatric Mindset Coaching Program in 6 months than years of local support groups and various other Bariatric Support. I finally found my tribe! Thank you Kristin and Team for proving a place for us and the tools we need to succeed. I can't wait to sign up next session!

When I joined the BMS Group Program, I didn’t realize how stuck I was in a victim mindset and learned helplessness. Fast forward 6 months, and instead of looking at resolutions at the beginning of this year, I decided to reflect on all my notes I had taken from the Hot Seats, Deep Dives and modules. As a result of this, I came to realize how much of a shift in perspective I had experienced. Being a part of this program has helped me be more committed and consistent. I have learned to use the wisdom of my body to focus on how well I feel. I am more flexible and I more easily recognize my strengths, advocating for my body. Due to regain over the past 19 years after having gone through an inordinate amount of challenges and tragedy,  I am learning to release the suffering and moving towards healing. I am also practicing self-compassion and owing my choices instead of punishing myself.  My body is losing weight in its own time as I follow my plan, and I feel good about that.

“To say this group has helped me would be an understatement.” 

To say this group has helped me would be an understatement. It’s is so reassuring to know other people understand what you’re going through and to have people to turn to that will listen. When the group program started I was really struggling with the mindset piece of bariatric surgery but now I feel stronger and more confident in my journey. I can say 100% that I wouldn’t be where I am without the support this group program has given me!

- Beth Detter

I knew I needed some help, but I did not know what it was. I was reading Dr. Kristin's book, Bariatric Mindset Success, and I researched Kristin and discovered the Bariatric Mindset Group Coaching Program. I jumped in not knowing what to expect, and I found something so much more than I could have ever imagined.I found a group of supportive women who understand what I was going through and are going through it with me! We celebrate each other's success and support each other through the struggles. I found lifelong friends that I never would have found had I not joined this group, I found an amazing coach who understood me and my journey because she went through it herself. She approaches her coaching through compassion and understanding, which I had never experienced prior to joining the group.Most of all I learned that it was not all about food and what I ate, but how I thought about myself and how that needed to shift. If you are thinking about it, and are ready to do the work. I HIGHLY recommend joining this group. Invest in yourself, you're worth it!

The Bariatric Mindset Group Program is a fantastic resource to have as both a pre and post-op bariatric patient. Kristin is amazing. Working with her is more like talking to a friend rather than working with a coach. The people that I have met in this group are pretty amazing as well. I feel totally comfortable sharing my feelings and emotions with them.It very much feels like a no-judgment zone!! Take advantage of this group, you WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!!!!

- Marti Bea

A thousand times... yes! This membership has helped me beyond words. I used to constantly fight with myself regarding motivation and getting started. Listening to the mini-trainings and attending the support groups are exactly what I need to create ease in my life. When I feel stuck, I just go in and listen to 1-2 things, and within twenty minutes, I'm in a whole new frame of mind.

Get back on track, and stay on track.

I know what it feels like to feel totally out of control.  There comes a time when you realize that knowing and doing are two different things.  You may know exactly what to do, and at the same time, you know that you are not doing it.  This is the place to get back on track, and stay on track.
