When it comes to weight loss, no two people are the same.
That's why Noom builds personalized plans based on your unique psychology and biology.
Take Brittany. After years of unsustainable diets, Noom helped her lose 20 pounds and keep it off.
I was definitely in a yo -yo cycle for years of just losing weight, gaining weight, and it was exhausting.
And Stephanie, she's a former D1 athlete who knew she couldn't outtrain her diet, and she lost 38 pounds.
My relationship to food before Noom was never consistent.
And Evan, he can't stand salads, but he still lost 50 pounds with Noom.
I never really was a salad guy.
That's just not who I am.
Even through the pickiness, Noom taught me that building better habits builds a healthier lifestyle.
I'm not doing this to get to a number.
I'm doing this to feel better.

Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Podcast and Chill with Leo and Gwen.
Gwen, are you ready to chill?
Hello, listeners. And yes, I'm ready, Leo.
But I think your idea of chilling is a bit different from mine.
Huh? What do you mean?
You usually just nap all day, right?
You know me too well, Gwen.
But hey, naps are important.
Maybe for you, Leo.
I prefer using my weekends to get organized and plan ahead.
But I guess we balance each other out.
Well, I'm the dreamer and you're the planner.
Together, we make weekends both fun and productive.
Speaking of which, what do you have planned for this weekend?
More spreadsheets? Very funny, Leo.
No spreadsheets this time.
I plan to relax a bit, maybe read a book or enjoy some time outdoors.
What about you? Just napping?
Not just napping. I can also be balanced.
You know that. Ah, sure.
So, grab a comfy seat and let's dive into some fun daily routines for the weekend.
Absolutely, let's go.
Ah ha! Good morning everyone!
Whoa, what is that outfit, Leo?
Well, today we're diving into the best way to start a weekend morning, right?
What do you think, Gwen?
Sleeping in? Definitely, Leo.
Sleeping in is a great start.
No alarm, just relaxing.
It's like a little weekend gift.
I love waking up around 10 a .m.
and staying in bed a bit longer.
10 o 'clock? Wow, that's late.
I like to wake up at 8 a .m., so I have more time to enjoy the morning.
Eight o 'clock? That's still like a weekday.
You should relax more on the weekends.
I guess I'm a morning person, but I do love making a special breakfast, like omelets or avocado toast.
Ah, food. Now we're talking.
I'm all about pancakes with a mountain of syrup, or waffles, or both.
Why not add some fresh fruit too?
It's a nice balance, and you can still get a treat.
You and your balance.
All right, pancakes with fruit it is.
Yes, what about our listeners?
How do you start your perfect weekend morning?
Yeah, do you sleep in like me or rise early like Gwen?
Share your thoughts.
After a relaxing morning, how about going outside?
Sounds good. Fresh air and sunshine are great, but no crazy stunts, okay?
Oh, come on, Gwen, you know me.
I was just thinking about a relaxing hike, not skydiving, although.
Skydiving, really Leo?
Let's just go for a nice, safe hike.
All right, all right, hiking it is.
It's a great way to feel alive, surrounded by nature.
Plus, I can practice my bird calls.
Wanna hear one? No bird calls, please.
Your bird calls sound more like a mix between a squeaky door and a car alarm.
Ouch, Gwen, you wound me.
All right, no bird calls.
How about a bike ride?
The wind in your hair, discovering new trails.
It's like being a kid again.
That's more like it.
Yes, cycling is great.
Just don't race any cars, okay?
I make no promises, just kidding.
But seriously, what about a picnic in the park?
You bring the snacks, and I'll bring the charm.
Charm, huh? Well, picnics are a wonderful way to relax.
Exactly. I love people watching and maybe feeding ducks if they don't chase me.
Or maybe feeding ducks, unless they chase me again.
Chased by ducks? I don't even wanna know, but I agree.
Spending time in the park is so relaxing, and feeding ducks is nice.
Just do it safely. The weekend is also a great time for hobbies.
It's good for our well -being.
Right, like I've been trying to master the art of cooking.
I still can't tell the difference between a tablespoon and a teaspoon, but hey, progress is progress.
It's both practical and rewarding.
What's the last dish you made?
Um, does toast count?
Kidding. I tried making pasta from scratch.
It tasted interesting.
But it was fun. How about you, Gwen?
Picked up any new hobbies?
I've been trying my hand at painting.
That's great! Hobbies are about having fun.
Maybe you'll find a hidden talent.
You wouldn't sit still for a portrait.
But yes, hobbies are about trying new things.
Exactly. And learning new things can be exciting.
Like playing a musical instrument.
I tried guitar once, but it was hard.
It takes practice. You should try again.
Music is a great way to relax.
True. What about gardening?
I hear it's good for stress.
Yes. Hobbies like gardening are relaxing.
Who knows? You might find a new passion.
Exactly. So go out and try something new.
You never know what you'll discover.
Outfit. Meaning clothes that you wear together, usually chosen for a specific event or activity.
She wore a nice outfit to the party.
Skydiving. Meaning jumping out of an airplane and falling through the air before opening a parachute.
Example. He went skydiving and felt excited flying through the sky.

Add a teaspoon of sugar to your tea.

What activities do Leo and Gwen consider as perfect ways to enjoy a weekend morning?

Leo mentions cooking and trying to play the guitar, while Gwen mentions painting.
They also talk about the benefits of gardening.
All right, Gwen. Now let's talk about spending quality time with family and friends.
Weekends are made for connection.
Yes, it's important to use this time to be with loved ones.
Doing things together can make our relationships stronger and create good memories.
Like cooking together.
I might mess it up, but it's about teamwork, right?
I hope you have the fire extinguisher ready.
But yes, cooking together can be fun, and you get a meal at the end.
Exactly. And what about playing board games?
A little friendly competition is always fun.
Well, unless you're as competitive as me, then watch out.
I can imagine that, Leo.
Board games are a great way to engage everyone and have some laughs.
Just remember, it's about having fun, not just winning.
Easy for you to say, but I get it.
How about a movie night?
Everyone can bring their favorite movie, and we can have a marathon with snacks.
Movie nights are perfect for relaxing and enjoying time together.
Plus, it's a nice way to unwind after a busy week.
And let's not forget just talking.
Sometimes sitting down and having a good chat is really special.
Maybe over coffee or a nice dinner.
Yes, meaningful conversations can help us understand and appreciate each other more.
It's all about being present and paying attention.
And for those who like being outdoors, how about a picnic in the park?
You get fresh air, good food, and space for games.
Just watch out for ants.
All right, Gwen, let's talk about something we both need, self -care.
Weekends are perfect for taking care of yourself, right?
Yes, Leo. It's important to take care of ourselves, and the weekend is a great time to relax.
We need to focus on feeling good.
Exactly. Like starting the day with some exercise.
I like to run. Well, run to the fridge, that is.
But really, exercising helps you feel better.
Yes. Exercise makes you feel happier and gives you more energy.
Whether it's jogging, doing yoga, or dancing, moving your body is important.
And after exercise, a nice hot bath is just what you need.
And some bubbles and candles, and it's like a spa at home.
Who needs a fancy hotel, right?
A hot bath helps you relax your muscles and calm your mind.
It's a great way to relax after a busy week.
And don't forget about face masks.
I might look silly, but my skin feels great after.
Self -care means feeling good inside and out.
Face masks are a nice way to take care of your skin, and planning is a great way to set yourself up for success.
Taking a bit of time over the weekend to organize your week can make everything run more smoothly.
That's true. I try to make a to -do list, but it often turns into a doodle pad.
How do you keep everything so neat?
I start by setting clear goals for the week.
Having a plan helps me stay focused and productive.
It's important to know what you need to do and what's most important.
Goals are great, but what about those little things?
Like, I always forget to buy milk.
Grocery lists are my nemesis.
Making a shopping list is important.
It saves time and stops you from making extra trips to the store.
You can use a note app or just write it down on paper.
And meal prepping, do you do that too?
I tried once, but I ended up eating all my snacks for the week in one day.
Meal prepping is a great way to make sure you have healthy meals ready for the week.
It saves time and reduces stress about what to eat.
Start with simple recipes you like.
Right. What else can help make the week easier?
Organizing your workspace and getting rid of clutter can make a big difference.
It's about creating a space where you feel comfortable and focused.
Fire extinguisher, meaning a device containing water or a special gas or powder that is put onto a fire to stop it from burning.
Example, we keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen for emergencies.
Board games. Meaning, games played on a board with pieces, dice, or cards, usually for fun with family or friends.
Example, we played board games like Monopoly and Scrabble during the weekend.
Unwind. Meaning, to relax and release stress after a busy or stressful time.
Example, after a long day at work, she likes to unwind by watching her favorite TV show.
Meal prepping. Meaning, preparing meals.
Example, she spends Sunday afternoon meal prepping for the week.
Clutter. Meaning, a state of being untidy.
Example, he cleaned up the clutter on his desk to create a more organized workspace.
