Coming from a 51 yr old woman, embrace your beauty as you age. I feel better about myself now, than I did 30 years ago. Another Great podcast today!

I totally agree with this! I am so much happier with myself now at 46 as a grandmother than I ever was in my 20s! Lord I was hard on myself as a young adult! I am constantly telling my daughters that they are beautiful at all their stages of life because of what they accomplished not what they necessarily look like.

Me too. I work out because I love it not for weight loss. I was going to get a tummy tuck and arm flaps off and he said then would you be happy with yourself then. He loved me the way I was. And he was short like zach. ( 5 feet ) and so I thought I have to be happy so each am I look in the mirror and say for a 70 year old you r looking good

Women on social media need to be more real. I am 60 and I can’t imagine being a young mom and see them curling their hair and putting on make up during or after birth. I just did good to survive. It blows my mind watching these new moms looking like models and perfection. You are so naturally beautiful and I love to see real moms. Thankful for being so real and honest. You are amazing and normal women see you❤❤❤

I think Tori is using her podcast as a bitch session. Maybe she is not mature enough to deal with having stair step pregnancies & all being dwarfs. She said she did not eat a good diet while pregnant & is now struggling with losing weight. I don't think she is a happy person & is moody & is not mature enough to deal with these issues. I think she compares herself to other women. She talked about putting in the work & everything to her is "terrifying". How would she handle working full time? She whines, complains & uses this platform to air her grievances. Sometimes life isn't fair, but we deal with our problems as best we can. She needs to let Zack talk more & stop constantly interrupting! He seems to be the voice of reason. Take baby steps to get where you want to go & be appreciative of what you have. 😅

Wow Sharon/Karen, you must know her well. Oh, that’s right, you’ve never actually had a conversation with her. Don’t presume you know what is in a stranger’s head and also…..ever heard the saying, those in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks? Looking at you.

Zac is such a great husband he really supports Tori and builds her up. I noticed whenever Tori is self deprecating Zack is always telling her not to think that way but he never discounts her feelings. When he said if Lilah grew up to be like Tori. It was so cute.

Don’t listen to jealous haters. Haters have self esteem issues and sadness in their life. Pray for them to do better and be better.

TORI, YOUR KIDS ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU AS THEIR MOM

Thank you Zach for complete understanding of Tori. Not all the mother’s out there take care of their kids with complete hands on like Tori does. It’s ebb and flow. You’re both awesome.

As a 60 + year old woman, embrace your beauty as you age. Your are beautiful, Tori! It is a privilege our bodies birthed our children and doing our best to stay healthy is enough. Zach is so proud of you just as you are here and now. Our bodies continue to change into our later years into post menopause and it will change again but I am so honoured and grateful to grow old and enjoy family and friends and all the love surrounding me

Tori, having 3 babies under 10 yrs and you DID a half marathon!!! Girl!!!! you rock!!! That’s absolutely amazing!! congratulations Tori!!!

It was nice to hear Zack uplift and compliment Tori ❤️. There’s so many times when all we need is just a kind or loving remark from our hubbies to make our day. I think as long as your spouse finds you beautiful to them, nobody else matters

I finally okay with my post childbirth body at 61. I gave birth to 3 very large babies. Last one 11 1/2 pounds. Now I realize this body is strong and beautiful just the way it is. Zac you’re so supportive and you both are great together.

Thank you for doing this video. I have a 13 year old granddaughter who is struggling with body images. She refuses to wear shorts because she feels she doesn't look good in them. It's extremely hot out and she wants to wear sweat pants. Love the idea of telling her she's beautiful at anytime instead of when she dresses up.

13 is such a hard age because of body changes. Encourage her to try other styles. I have more hips (I’m 26 now) but I love high waisted jeans and they flatter me more. Help her find a style that she feels good about and likes herself in. Love on her and maybe spend time out doing something she loves or go shopping. My gma used to take me shopping to try on clothes and hype her up! If something looks good on her “ girl look at you, do a spin “ just encourage her and help her see she is beautiful no matter her size

I disagree about surgery. I think if you can afford it and that’s will make you feel better, then do it! Do it while you are young. Do want you want. You don’t need anyone opinion but Zack's.

CONGRATULATIONS on completing the 1/2 marathon. What an accomplishment! Be kind and gentle on yourself. You talk about "this is the season of life we are in" so just know things will change. I am almost 64 and have never been very confident in my looks. U til I got breast cancer at 40. I have learned God made me how I am supposed to be. My husband loves me. I am a good person. That's what matters. Hope you all feel better. 💖

I love running. I do half marathons. I slow down as I age, but I concentrate on finishing.

I have given birth to 4 and every pregnancy was different. Weight gain, how I carried, how I felt...how quickly I did (or didn't) bounce back. Be patient with yourself and ignore negative, critical people.

The way you two communicate is remarkable. Zach, you're a wonderful, supportive, loving husband. Tori, don't ever forget when Zach said he wants your Daughter to turn out just like you. Wow. What a statement to treasure! Bless both of you and your family, always.

Tori's aura is so postive, your laugh is contagious, you are the blessing to the family 💚💙💜🩷🧡

Tori I really relate. I have 5 kids and I lost myself. The last two years has been about finding myself and taking care of myself. I have lost 160lbs. Im not at goal...but getting there. I wish I didn't wait so long. I'm so proud of you with having such young kids!

Jackie, I am so happy to hear of your hard work and dedication to finding and caring for yourself paying off! You are an amazing example to people you may never even know about for sharing your story! Have a blessed day!

Hey Tori I’ve had 6 kiddos 2 miscarriages and it took me so long to figure out that I had diastasis recti and that is why I wasn’t bouncing back with my last couple pregnancies like I did with the others and I was actually doing exercises that were making it worse instead of better, it’s been three years since my last baby. I’m still working on it, doing diastasis recti specific has been so helpful and my core is getting stronger and my back as well. I feel like as women we have to really embrace all our post pregnancy bodies and aging and just focus on physical and mental health. Comparison is such a thief of joy. I think we all can find ourselves in that trap so easily. We wouldn’t want our kids to compare themselves to others because it’s all our differences that make us beautiful individuals in our own right. Amen to showing is the most powerful part of teaching!! I see it with all my kids and I always remind myself of . Love you guys ❤

I like how down to earth you both are and Zach is so sweet and respectful to you and all women. Tori you look great at what ever size you might be because of the person you are on the inside! You’re a beautiful person.

Also 2nd comment it's great to see zack so supportive towards tori when she said how she feels about her body after children and being understanding

Listening to them speak to eachother u see so many verbal and nonverbal cues from eachother that show the love they have that u never really got a chance to see on LPBW

Zach’s sweet comment at the end… Ahhh!! hahaha. LOVE IT. Where do we all find a love like yours?! Love you two! ❤

I think that you have just been lovely the whole time I’ve been watching you. I cannot imagine being pregnant with three babies (three different times) on national TV. Please take your own good advice: do your best, forget the rest.

Tori you might be 30, I’m 62 but hearing you say it’s okay to be who you are. Yours and Zack’s support to each other is so beautiful

I am 80 and was a fan of LPBW. Now the two of you and your conversations are looked forward to so eagerly for me. It is like talking to my children or at least listening to them.. your children are so dear. That little girl is such a spitfire. I can imagine Tori that she has a personality combined of you and Amy. The boys will grow up strong and confident through the amount of time both of you spend with them sharing your life experiences. Honestly, not scripted like a reality show. Thank you.

I love how Zach is so encouraging. You are blessed. ❤

Tori, I feel you. The post partum body is wild. Not only the physical change but also the physiological change. You're doing so great, though! I love you two, y'all are so down to earth!

Thank you for always being REAL! The world needs more social media influencers like you two!

I so love your podcasts..It was great to see your half marathon Tori and Zac your a good husband n father..Tori is the greatest moment and 3 beautiful children who have good values and manners

Tori, my youngest is 31 this year, my abs did the separation thing, and it has required alot of leaning into God and the loving support of my husband. He tells me I am beautiful, and as long as he thinks I am, then that is all I need. Zach loves you, and accepts you, adores you, and supports you. You ARE a beautiful woman, wife, and mother.

I'm so happy you two are doing this Podcast. You both speak so real and honest. Thank you for keeping the fans updated with how you both and the kids are.

Zach is such a sweet husband in really hearing Tori with her struggles with pregnancies, and our post natal bodies and healing. When he said he was really proud of her for going through 4 pregnancies on reality tv I thought it was really touching. I can’t imagine having to do that with the five pregnancies I went through with my five sons. I think the comments and pressure is emotionally scarring and there’s a lot of pain and insecurity there for Tori. Our society can be very cruel to women for experiencing normal changes in our body because of pregnancy and the demands of raising children and not having time and energy to look like super models.

Tori you look amazing. You have had 3 babies. Our bodies change and we need to give ourselves more grace. Today is my 70th birthday and I have worried about my weight most of my adult life. Now I know at my age that I am grateful for my good health. Weight isn’t as important.

Thank y’all for being so candid in this video. I’m sure it will speak to the heart of many women who struggle with self image. LOVE IT!

I love this podcast! So many people can benefit from having these open conversations about body image. It definitely made me feel less alone on those difficult days. Everyone have a blessed day!

Just want to say that boys also run the same risk at sleep overs! Not trying to be a party pooper but I’ve met a few who have had terrible experiences as boys at sleepovers. Don’t discredit the fact that they are also small and vulnerable and predators are old and young (even little kids can cause damage). As a mama, please go with those protective gut feelings you have with Lila and make sure all your babies are safe!

Tori, ignore the ding-a-lings that say you do all the talking. In a marriage, it can happen that one spouse is either outgoing or introverted. If you work out any situations that might come up, personally I think you’ll find that, as a couple, you complement each other ❤❤. Life would be rather dull if a married couple’s personalities were the same…you’d drive each other crazy 🤪🥰. My husband is definitely outgoing and super friendly, I’m shy, but his being that way helps me come out of my shell. 😊 You and Zach make a wonderful couple🕊️…. May the Bless and Keep You All 🕊️🥰

I ❤ your Podcast!!! As a woman, this was a stellar topic!!! I will share this. As a former model (was invited to interview for the TV show Baywatch). All was bliss. I think a lot of woman can be wrapped up in comparison but the core is ego IMO. My ego was big. Earlier years, I was bullied and made fun of (I was on a TV show about being a geek then turning into a beauty queen😂 Fun.) but that made my ego worse because I went from being bullied to what people thought was very pretty. I was Miss Thang😂 Let's fast forward. I had some major health issues. I could barely get out of bed because of physical pain. I couldn't sleep. I lost sooo much weight from my digestive problems. I hit 88 lbs. I still had to adult. I became those women I used to judge. No make-up, threw on a baseball cap. No shower Sweats and whatever was clean, usually didnt match😂. I looked like a homeless alcoholic druggie (I do neither😂) I always judged women like...really? You can't put 15 minutes into yourself and throw on some descent clothes? Ha! Here I come now, looking 100 x's worse, and...I got it. I got the best gift.In.My.Life!!! I literally LOST MY EGO! Amazing!!! I finally "arrived" in life! I understood all of those women I judged so harshly, I was them, and developed their mindset in a sense. The big picture was...get the errands done, no matter how you look...who cares 🤷‍♀️ I have a purpose in that store, get my items 😁 That's it! I don't need to spend 2 hours getting ready, hair, make-up, clothes and jewelry and it's ahhhmazzzinggg, such freedom, I'm out the door in 10 minutes looking...however 🤷‍♀️ 😂 People were judging. Yup. Their thoughts are not my business. I. Don't. Care! I will never see them again!😂 They think oh look at her outfit. Yup 😁 I'm so comfy ✌ Oh, she looks like she just rolled out of bed. Yup. I did😂 Oh, she probably hasn't showered in days! Yup😂 But, I'm ALIVE, didn't think I would be! I celebrate LIFE. I'm breathing. God gave me another day. I choose to be happy about THAT. Not looking beautiful. Ego is ugly...NOT. ME. Other people's ego is ugly. NOT. ME. I pray every person in life learns this freedom! Their lives have nothing to do with how I LOOK! I am loved just as much pre-medical condition! Despite massive pain I am the happiest I've been! I've grown up😂 People's opinions are based on THEIR EGO not me, you or anyone. Hope this helps someone today❤❤ God gave all of us another day we never were promised. I will spend mine looking like a homeless drunk druggie with a smile on my face and inner peace and contentment I never had, I celebrate that❤ I babbled😂 but I love the transparency Tori and Zach have!!! We are here to live life not microscopically judge others and worry how we look to them. Strangers. We will never see again. Life = love, the biggest gift❤ Have a great week everyone 👍 😊

@user-gh2fo9pw2b, I'm that one person that you Helped! Thank You so very much! Your story was truly amazing! I will keep you in my prayers for your pain to be completely gone very soon! Again, what a story! When I was young, I Always wanted to grow up and be just like the baywatch barbie girls. I beat myself up for years not looking like a model. Still a work in progress and I'm no spring chicken. 😅

You both are so sweet , considerate and respectful of each other. Absolutely love how you two lift each other up! Such a great example to young marriages. Blessings to you both and kids.

Oh Tori, it makes me mad and sad that you are being influenced by rude mean people about body image. YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, WIFE AND MOTHER! Which are some of the best gifts from God, stand with HIM and focus on your family, the body goes back to what God intends after the child bearing years. Please don't take time or thought away from what is really important and give any to the haters of this crazy upside down world of ours. I LOVE listening to you and Zach, I think your parenting style and relationship styles give great insight. I enjoy all of your posts thus far.. Just start blocking the haters, you will be happy when you see results, the devil makes u think you need them. Be well and thank you for sharing, and don't let those bitches who are jealous tell you to shut up or stop talking! makes my skin crawl, I wanna go after them, lol.

I never watched LPBW and came across your podcast by accident but I am happy because I discovered two beautiful humans. Tori : IMO numbers , size or shape don’t count as long as you are healthy mentally and physically. You said it right. As long as you can keep up with your kids, that is what matters. ❤ Zach : thumbs up 👍🏼 “I just want our daughter to be like you”. The way you compliment Tori is awesome 🤩.

Hey Tori I’ve had 6 kiddos 2 miscarriages and it took me so long to figure out that I had diastasis recti and that is why I wasn’t bouncing back with my last couple pregnancies like I did with the others and I was actually doing exercises that were making it worse instead of better it’s been three years since my last baby.

I think we all can find ourselves in that trap so easily. We wouldn’t want our kids to compare themselves to others because it’s all our differences that make us beautiful individuals in our own right.

I have so many comments, but I love you Tori! You’re the best, and I feel so much the same as you. The one thing when you said that “all that matters of your kids look good, then it doesn’t matter what you look like,” which I have dealt so many times. The film interview days, when you just can’t even, and it’s blown and Zach had to take the lead & send everyone home after…..I relate so much. I’m not on tv, but do have important events scheduled at the house (family gathering or whatever), and have literally can’t even do…my husband will handle the ranks and supported me. It still sucks, but solidarity is key. Solidarity sister!

Thank you so much for sharing, Tori. It’s reassuring to find someone else who appreciates what pregnancy gave them, but also hates being pregnant, I thought I was the only one. I’m only three months post-partum but it’s so helpful to know that what I’m feeling is not unique to myself. From one c-section momma to another, so much love.

So happy you guys are posting on KZread! I’ve been loving all your videos 💕🙏🏻

I had a few fav. Episodes but this one is my my FAVORITE now. I laughed so much and felt like I was there hanging with you both it felt so comfortable and just a normal conversation. I agreed with so much of what you were talking about. If anyone hates on you for this conversation they need to take a look at themselves! Thank you for this conversation I very much appreciated it Tori.

Tori you look beautiful. Yes after having babies it can be hard to bounce back with our bodies. I have been an ice hockey player from 25 yr old until 50yr old and still didn’t get back down to my ideal weight. Then I had at neck surgery like your father n law Matt . After that the weight creeped up on me cuz I wasn’t active for 2 yrs. So I started weight watchers in Nov and stay under 1000 calories a day . I built a home gym .I work out 2 hrs a day I journal my food and workout everyday helps me stay on track. So far down 50lbs. I have 30 lb more to go . Yes I thought of surgery ,but let me tell you this journey of my has been so more rewarding for me. Girl you got this. I have a 25 yr old daughter from day one I called her pretty girl no matter if she had her hockey helmet on ,or if she came home from playing in the dirt ,or when she went to prom. She is my pretty girl.❤ I’ve always built her up . I know you will do that too with your daughter. Don’t get so frustrated with yourself a half marathon omg that was amazing 🎉. And Zach he is so supportive and sweet with you. That’s because he has a great mom that raised him right. Anyway love your podcast ❤thank you for being humble

Thank you for this conversation. I am struggling myself (with no kids) and I love that you have come to the place you are at. I’m sorry if we, as viewers of the show, ever made you feel bad. I have loved watching your family grow over the years. Thank you so much for sharing.

I wanna just say I have been following Zach from the little people big world show and have been following the journey you guys have been through from the show and I have enjoyed watching your podcasts from the beginning, I enjoy how open and honest you guys try to be and how cute your adorable family is, thanks for bringing awareness to dwarfism, If that is even the correct terminology. Thanks for opening up about real life stuff and for being 100% real and open with us about life, marriage, having kids and blessing the internet with a breath of fresh air with you two and your lovely family. I can relate to you guys as I have 3 kids ranging from 8yr old, 4yr old and 2yr old. I’m a daycare teacher so I can totally relate to you Tori in the loving to teach kids as a job. I Quit my job of 10 years and now homeschool my oldest and I absolutely enjoy it.

Tori you are so real. Love watching you and Zack. Keep it up and listen to the positive reviews. Ps. You do not talk that much. When Zack talks it is enlightening and you are the one who has the major role in the house hold. I know Zack does plenty around the home but there is definitely roles for mom’s and dad’s. So keep going and continue to be real. Go bless your family.

That little sidenote at the end about anxiety with your kids' health could be an episode! A lot of parents struggle with it and you guys have more complex medical considerations. Would be a great topic to explore!

Thanks for this conversation. I've never been pregnant but I appreciated your honesty about body image and the dangers of social media. I also loved to hear you and Zach talk about this. The support in Zach's voice is obvious and your acceptance of it was beautiful to hear. What a great example of healthy conversation between two people who love and respect each other well!

I appreciate this - I’ve struggled with my own body as I’ve entered my 30s and I’m so glad I’m not alone here and working towards not putting myself down based on a comparison from a woman who had work done. Like absolutely I’ll never have those results. Thanks Tori

As someone who gained 60-75 lbs in all 3 of my pregnancies, I totally get it. Watching you on the show I always thought you looked AWESOME and glowed. You were growing humans and everyone is so different. You being and looking like a NORMAL human being makes you more approachable. No judgment to others, but I'm with you about 'getting work done'. I want my kids to love who they are, even through their flaws so I want to model that too! Health and having energy to keep active with the kids is good to focus on!

AMAZING TORI!!! You surprise me everyday with your honesty and thank you for sharing.

Congratulations on surpassing 100k subscribers 🥳 ❤ I loved the marathon short. Congrats Tory 🏅

1st. Boys get messed with or have bad things happen at sleepovers to. Always listen to that momma gut, even if it doesn't make sense. 2nd. People are suppose to age. Your not going to look exactly like you did when you got married or were a teen. Its hard for sure (I'm in late 40s and wish we could) but try to be as healthy as you can. That should be everyone's goal. HEALTH. not looking like someone else, not keeping up with the latest whomever. Most of the people that are chasing looks or a certain body are not the healthiest in their minds & hearts. You both seem very grounded in The Lord and family, keep your focus there. That is what brings true joy. And honestly your beautiful Tori. Because you seem to have a honest heart and love truth and your family. Not because your body is X amount smaller, or your tummy is flatter. Great podcast guys!

I would 100% get a tummy tuck if I could. Tori I respect you so much for your honesty and your opinion on this. You have to do what works for you!! Elective surgery can be a very controversial topic. That’s the beauty of living in a country that we can do what’s best for us. Thank you for these amazing podcasts! 😊

Thanks so much for this episode. I am 66-years-old and have one child who is 40. It’s recently become clear to me that when I went through being pregnant (loved it!) giving birth (not terrible) and the whole postpartum journey (I was pretty wrecked) I was completely unaware of taking care of myself after the baby came. No one, including my doctor, suggested to me that I had just experienced one of the most physically and emotionally challenging events that I would face as a woman, and care for myself was essential to my future well-being. I applaud you and your contemporaries for embracing these changes and moving to understand what your bodies need. Sweet Zach, with his comment about turning off the camera…I enjoy how you are with each other so much.

The first 2 months post-partum was by far my worse "trimester" -- even more so because I was not expecting to be that miserable physically and emotionally. No one really prepares you for that.

You guys are So Great! Every relationship should be as open as yours. Watched LPBW w/my daughter for every episode and I loved when I asked her which ones in the fam were Little, and she said she didn’t know or care. Big smile! She just loved your family!

Awe Tory. You make me so proud. Watching you grow into this amazing woman. Thank you for keeping it real. Such a breath of fresh air to be honest about the weight gain and what not. Keep up the great content.

I’m glad you are having Lila‘s tonsils and everything out and I already know it went great. I had mine out was 24 years old and I thought I was dying. That was the worst for me, kids bounce back so much faster. My youngest was like five and she didn’t do very well she refused to drink. She got over it over once I threaten that she would have to go to the hospital. I feel like with being a parent it’s trial and error. You guys are doing a fabulous job with all three kids. There’s no reason to worry Tori you look fabulous. ❤❤

Tori, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your body. Are you kidding me? You're gorgeous! ❤

Zachary so well said!! Tori just be healthy. I thought I was always big and in my late 40’s my tiny nieces tried on my wedding gown. It fit them like a glove. I was shocked because I always felt fat. You are perfect just the way you are!❤

Proud of your honesty Tori. Coming from experience myself with this your diet is 90% of your weight and working out is 10%. So bottom line is finding YOUR balance of what is your 90/10. Once you get that dialed in your body will do the rest. I did it through finding a great athletic trainer who had worked with athletes (only chose this as I trusted him) and then asked them for a referral to the right nutrition coach. Blessings on your journey! Love you guys and your podcast!!

Thank you for this episode, it's true, we compare ourselves to others so quickly and that has been something I am working on. I have struggled with weight my whole life but loving myself and the stage I am in has been my success. This whole episode just hit home and was much needed this week! Thank you both!!!

You guys are so refreshing with your approach to life and your channel’s content. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.❤

I am 52 and I have found my body is ever changing. I try to work on the parts that bother me the most. I also have learned to accept that I am not ever going to have the "perfect" body. You look amazing! BTW I was also so happy for you and your half marathon. You did something not all of us are able to do. Celebrate the wins!!!!!

I appreciate you, Tori, for talking about this. For me, it was important enough to acknowledge it. That’s it. Recently watching all the seasons of LPBW from the beginning, I didn’t recognize you at first. Such a baby! But I have heard this before and it changed my mindset - you are not SUPPOSED to fit into your high school body. You are 30 years old and an adult. And Zach acknowledged that too and I love that. I was shocked to hear you were thinking about surgery, but appreciated the conversation that surrounded that regarding the lack of transparency on social media and false sense of “I am doing this au natural.” Side note: I wonder if making a comment about your struggles with self-image during the show would have helped me/you/others. Like just saying, “I am struggling with this and how my body is changing.” But also not making it a subplot of the episode. I second the idea of an episode discusses ins and outs of filming reality tv. I literally never think about producers or anyone else when I see a “scene”. How weird! Thanks for your podcast. Always a joy.

Here for all of Tori’s talking with a sprinkle of Zach’s lol. Really loved this discussion ❤

Re: 31:56...i get calling out beauty in every day life, but If I spent extra time on my hair and make up..e.g..dance, prom, homecoming, wedding...and my mom & dad did not recognize my efforts to look special on a special occasion, I would be DEVASTATED.

Thank you so much for sharing this and I agree with Zach that I am so proud of how you have handled everything since being with becoming a Roloff. I have enjoyed watching you two & your family and now this podcast for the fact that you all are not afraid of the hard topics to talk about.

This episode was amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your story! Tori, you look great, and I love Zach’s suggestion on creating a podcast of the ins and outs of filming! I’ve been watching since the very beginning and am loving watching you guys on here.

I totally understand Tori. I had 2 Csections and then 6 other abdominal surgeries after kids. Including 2 different feeding tubes and some other major stomach ones. I am 45 and feel my body has changed so much. My last baby was almost 16 yrs ago now. I am definitely not where I want to be, but am trying with the energy I have. Even if you didn't have kids or Csections your body would have changed. My bff hasn't had kids and at 37 her body has changed from when I met her at 27. I am thankful for my husband who loves me for me. Zach loves you for you. I am also thankful to a loving God who made me in His image and loves me! I stopped weighing myself a long time ago , cause it messed with my brain so much. Playing the numbers game can be horrible. So now I just try to eat clean and exercise. I started eating gluten free too. I go now by how I feel in clothes vs a number on a scale or tag size. God bless you as you do the half marathon!!

It's wild that I had been relating on the DL to Tori's postpartum body. Only recently mentioned it to my husband in passing, so it is neat you all did this video at this exact time. I had 2 very big babies and I am short so I basically carried the equivalent of two sets of twins. Both of my pregnancies were not fun physically at all. Before anyone gave their input I was just so happy to make it through it all ALIVE. So proud of myself on a super deep level. But then as time went on I experienced almost all of the same struggles that Tori expressed here. At times I felt some other women almost shaming me for being confident in my skin. That's when I had to confront all of the body changes for myself and decide how I wanted to handle it all. Regardless, watching this is confirming and encouraging in how it's not that unusual to take it slower. To not want to put myself through "extremes" (I like that phrase you used) to try to please other people or even my moments of frustration. It's nice to be able to relate so closely with Tori on that. Thank you👏

Loved this episode, loved hearing your thoughts (and Zach's - really enjoying getting to know him away from the show's perspective). I am in a different season of life - kids are grown, late 40s but a few things hit me. Even though I'm done raising my kids and my role has changed my advice, experiences, and thoughts are still relevant and important. I have known this but was reminded while listening this morning. Also, I had a difficult time with pregnancy. Comparison absolutely was a thief of joy for me back then. I was sick throughout, not just morning sickness. I didn't carry my babies with a cute bump... I just looked enormous. On and on and on it went. I compared and beat myself up with both of them. All of that to say, I cannot imagine how difficult it would have been to do that on national tv. I watched you cringe when you said... 100% don't recommend. That's absolutely valid. But... since what is done is done... I really hope you can flip the script and view it as a way to watch those sweet babies of yours go from being a prayer... to a blessing. I am on the opposite side of this - I barely have any photos during my pregnancies let alone video of any sort. I wish I did now. Just my thoughts. Great episode. ❤

As a mom to many, I have had multiple ways of birth. I have done epidural x2, natural breech, emergency c-section, vbac, and a repeat emergency c-section. After all my "regular" births, I bounced back to almost my pre-pregnancy weight. After both of my c-sections, I have not lost anything without significant struggle. My last one was my second emergency c-section, and I still struggle with my weight, and he is 14. So, I totally believe that for at least some women, it is entirely hormone based, as to how your body responds to weight loss.

Great podcast. Food for thought: when an elderly lady was asked what she would do differently if she could go back in time, and she said “I would spend less time focusing on my weight/looks, and spend more time focusing on helping others”. I am 74 years old and still trying to lose 20 pounds. Why in the world are we so obsessed with how we look? Of course we want to be healthy…but my extra 20 pounds isn’t going to make or break me. I wonder if our grandmothers were ever obsessed with how they looked. I think it’s social media and TV that drives us these days. We must remember that beauty comes from within. 🙏❤️🙏

Ya Zach is so supportive of Tori. And you guys look at each other with so much love. Great topic!

Such a much needed podcast! I have had 2 c sections and have more than ever been struggling with my mom bod this time around especially since before my last I FINALLY got to my deserved body physique. I have never looked at Tori and thought anything negative or anything that she should work on. You almost have a handful of kids! That’s more than the gym and meal prepping combined lol and idk why everyone goes so hard on hard for “interrupting” , Zach may be little but he’s a grown ass alpha man and if he felt the need he would stick up for himself . They know their relationship and that’s just the way they work . Everything is just a regular conversation. Tons of other major issues in the world go comment on that instead 🎉

My son had the same surgery at about 9 years old during the summer and he was a CHAMP. He refused to use the numbing suckers, and was only allowed to take IB Profen and Tylenol. They told us they'd give him something for pain at the first appt and then the day before they changed their minds and we still have no idea why... Anyway, he made it, he surprised me, and he didn't have any complications at all! I'm praying for her and you guys as well❤❤❤ please update us in the community tab!

As someone who went back and forth on a TT for 10 YEARS. You will know if/when it’s time. At 10 weeks I was back to my hard core peloton workouts. I’m very real with my experience if you ever wanted to ask questions. Thanks for keep it real always🙂

Love this podcast! Such a great message! I have struggled with my physical wellbeing for years. I have hypothyroidism, PCOS, and endometriosis. All three of these factor into my ability to lose weight successfully. I did have gastric bypass after working hard for a year and struggling to get anywhere. I learned so much through that journey and I am healthier now than I have been since I was a teenager. Surgery is never the easy way out and it takes lots of hard work. Being strong in my body is more important to me than being the vision of what other's may expect me to be.

You are so wise in seeing that inner qualities outweigh physical appearance. Your kids will pick up on that and carry that philosophy into adulthood.

I love zachs outlook on life

I have seen all your shows and love them. You guys are a blessing. I don't understand why anyone would leave negative comments. But we do live in a crazy world sometimes. Zach you are so sweet with a great head on your shoulders. Have watched since you was a small child. Proud of you.

You two are so interesting to listen to. You have incredible chemistry together and your parenting skills are very helpful,especially with topics that so many parents face Thanks for just being yourselves,it truly shows ❤

That was really enjoyable. I’m 68 and having kids was a long time ago. But I’m just proud of you both and wanted to say that. It’s not coincidence that you both found each other in this big world. I believe that the Lord brought you together. You’re right on point. I love how you can communicate both the good and bad . Life isn’t easy , I’ve lost 3 of my 4 children but we were never promised that it would be. God Bless your family ♥️

You were definitely right about most women comparing themselves to other women!!!! Especially after giving birth because we’re always self conscious about how much weight we’ve gained and how fast we can get it off. Everything you have said was so validating because it was all the truth……your truth!!!!!! Please don’t be discouraged by not being the same weight you were before having kids, because you aren’t the person you were before having kids!!!!!!! I’m 42 and I’ve had a kid at 27 and I gained a ton of weight and was so upset with myself how long it took to lose the weight but now I have 4 step children and I’m raising my step-grandchild and I’m probably back at my high school weight…. So never say never about getting back long after your kids grow up!!!!! Love your podcast, family and relationship!!!!!!

I just celebrated my 60th birthday, looking okay (as in no one could guess my weight to be as high as it is), but not loving myself because I can’t slip into clothes in the back of my closet that I wore in high school and have been able to wear through raising 4 kids, until 5 years ago. You blessed me today and gave me some things to think about, and maybe allowing me to let go of the physical image I want, and embrace the real woman I am now.

I love hearing Tori talk😊 this was a great episode, thank you for sharing 💕

Very relatable! In one of my facebook groups, I’m always shocked by the number of women that have had weight loss surgery and/or mommy makeovers. Nothing against doing that, but I just had no idea how common it is.

Tori, I saw an article today that stated each pregnancy adds months to your biological age. You’re a bad B, period. Also, I agree with Zach wholeheartedly. Your attitude has always been something that people should look up to. ❤

One of my favorite episodes!

I had my baby at 30 years old. I got huge. People thought k was having twins. I didn’t have a c-section and didn’t lose weight very quick. When she was around 5 people were asking me when I was due. I feel ya. She is now 17 and I will never get back into my high school size jeans. My and never came back together. About 10 years ago I had a tummy tuck because I felt so uncomfortable. I did great for a while but have gained allThe weight back. I totally understand how you are feeling. Zach, awesome job supporting Tori. Y’all are such an awesome couple.

Another great episode, don't listen to the haters. We all go through struggles in life thanks for your honesty.

I think our bodies go through phases. We have phases where we hold onto weight, and phases where we shed weight. You are definitely not alone in feeling the way you do. I think we're all walking around self-conscious about something. Thanks for your honest and vulnerable discussion. I think it will help many people. Because there is so much that is fake on social media, it's a relief to see someone real.

Thanks you guys. Keep up the awesome show and I love the inspiration and the spark between you two at the end😂 I appreciate you both💜😘💜
