Whitney

Hey, guys. I'm so excited to talk to you.

All right. All right. I'll read my question. I am 30 years old, about two years postpartum with baby number four. That pregnancy, I was on pretty strict bed rest practically the entire time. Since then, I've lost about 55 pounds and gained back most, if not more, muscle, following your advice on reverse dieting. and bulking. My body fat percentage into December via Dexa was about 33%.

So I decided to go ahead and go into a deficit. I went into a deficit in January, but was not consistent. I wasn't disciplined enough with tracking. So I fell off. I've been eating 1,750 calories a day, lifting four times a week and hitting all my protein goals.

I'm consistently losing about one and a half to two pounds a week and feel like it's something I could continue for the next couple of months. My question is, how long can I continue this cut before my metabolism slows down and I have to slowly build back up to the 24, 2600 calorie range that I was at?

I don't want to slow my metabolism way down, but I really want to lean out and feel confident in my own skin after all four of my babies.

My youngest just turned two in January. And just to update, I'm not losing one and a half to two pounds a week. I think that was just the initial water weight that kind of went down. So a little update since then is I've been very, very consistent for six weeks. I haven't missed a day of hitting 160 grams of protein. And I was 160 pounds. I'm now 157 pounds.

So I actually stopped losing weight completely, continued to get stronger at the 1750 to 1800 calorie range, hitting that every day. And I just now this past week after six weeks of being consistent have started to lose probably about a pound a week since that point.

No, the last time I had it done was December and it was 33, but I've definitely like, I'm stronger. My clothes fit better. I can tell a difference at this point.

Yeah. The latest one, honestly, when I sent the question over, I had not taken, that one was probably a month before I sent it. So probably February. And then that first picture was, I think it was about two months postpartum. And when I say like, like I literally couldn't get out of bed, I have really high risk pregnancies. So I had lost all of my strength, my muscle.

And I followed your guys's stuff religiously. I wanted so badly just to lose weight because I felt so uncomfortable and Um, being that size, but I did what you guys said and I ate a lot of protein. I followed, I did muscle mommy twice, a couple other of your programs. Um, and I refused to cut because I knew that I had so much muscle to gain back. So that's kind of where I'm at now.

I feel amazing actually right now. Um, I've been really big about my, I'm finally like sleeping through the night, you know, which took a while after the last baby. So I'm sleeping great. Um, I know that y'all aren't a huge fan of 75 hard.

I'm not doing it in the, for the reason of fitness, but more so for my discipline, getting my walk every day, um, still, you know, trying to be consistent with my mobility and things. Um, And I'm just really proud of myself for the consistency that I've had. And I have a ton of energy. I'm able to play with my kids. My mobility is way better. And I feel just a lot leaner.

And I haven't noticed any energy decrease since I started.

Um, four, two, four, and then I have nine and almost 12, but I'm kind of like you saw, I had my ex-husband and I had two kids together and then my current husband actually adopted my older two kids and then we had two more together. So we have a little bit of that age gap.

So I finished muscle mommy and then I kind of went back to my old, um, hybrid style of training just a week ago. And I was actually going to ask you guys about that because I have an interest in running high rocks Dallas, um, in November. Um, but my husband just finished performance and he really enjoyed it. And he said that I should do that instead.

Yes. Sorry, yeah.

Awesome.

Good job. Thank you guys.

Thank you so much. It was so great to talk to you guys. I've listened to you guys every day for literally five years. My kids were so excited when I told them to talk to you guys. So they're like, no way, mom, you're going to go get to talk to them. Tell them we said hi.

And then we cut to Sean going, Meredith, you should listen to both sides, icon. Love you. Turn around. You don't have to pose for a selfie, but I can get us both in here. If you can't see yourself, I can't see you. Where are you going? Meredith!

And she's like, well, I just need to find a pink bra and pink underwear.

She goes, oh my God, that would go with pink. Good thinking.

And they're like, oh my God, so cute.

And then the next week I'm like, told you so about Bronwyn sucking. Yeah.

And then Bronwyn was like, hi, ladies. Am I interrupting? Am I interrupting, ladies? I'm going to talk in this high voice because I just heard everything you said, but I'm not going to yell at you right now because I need allies today, ladies. Please come in here. So they're like, how are you feeling? She's like, well, I just wanted to know what you guys are wearing tonight.

I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to be wearing tonight. Oh God, Whitney, did you just bring coverups? If I looked like you, I'd wear coverups all the time too. Look at me. Look how nice I'm being to you. Do you like that? I like that. You like that? Yes. You're friends with me? Yes.

Can I have some salsa with these rabies?

Do I have to do everything for you people?

Wait a minute!

That's weird, because with the tail between her legs, she looks like she has a wiener.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Girls, I have an announcement.

I've been struggling with my daughters not talking to me and stuff, but, oh my gosh, Olivia, we have made such progress, guys.

So Brittany's like, guys, this is a really big deal. I have two beautiful daughters from my first marriage and they're not currently speaking to me because of things that happened in my second marriage.

It's hate!

Greenlight.com slash wondery.

Thank you.

Garsh.

Well, wells are stupid.

That girl who fell down the well is, like, so stupid.

All right, kids, go home.

Yeah.

You exploited my vagina. I have to deal with that.

Why is that bag of M&M's there? I don't like it.

I was trying to burn it with Lisa fucking Ballard.

I want to burn it with Lisa Barlow.

I'm trying to burn it with Lisa fucking Barlow.

Meredith, why can't I try to burn something with you instead? I want to burn it with Meredith Marks. You know what?

Mine is gummies and self-improvement too. Dichotomous.

That are hellish.

Yeah.

at night to sleep and I'm like, how old am I?

I got to get off it.

Never during the day and never outside my apartment because I don't speak after. You know, I just go full mute. It's just like I'm only alive inside my own body.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm so used to it at this point, but no, I don't think it's good for speeding up the synapses. I think it makes you slow as shit.

Yeah, I do too. It's bad.

That's chic.

If lighting went up, we might be high.

Yeah. That'd be really boring and slow.

Yeah, I have the dumbest thoughts. I'm like, popcorn is good. I don't ever think of anything just regular.

That was really tragic because it was just like this doesn't, this isn't the art form.

Yeah, it's like having a breakup with someone and you don't want to go to the restaurant.

What did you talk about?

How tall is he in real life?

At least seven feet.

I was going to say, you probably made so much money.

No, I feel right at home. Thank you.

I came to Rosebud's daughter's birthday.

And then a special promo. Nice. Just to visit my old home. What a godless town you guys have here.

Yeah. I'm so tired. Wow.

I'm weak now.

Thank you, Mark. You know, Veeps did it all.

Oh, no, it's on YouTube now. I got it back. I got it back.

Yeah, they did that little first crop of everyone. Mm-hmm. But it's on YouTube now, baby.

I shot it at the Bourbon Room in LA.

Yeah, it's cool. It's like an old rock club. It was really fun.

Like a cookie. Yeah, you're sick.

In case my hands got cold, I guess. During the special.

Yeah, it's an aerodynamic turtleneck.

I feel like people have stopped the distance at the ATM now. I was like, what are you doing? Get off me.

Mine is loud cars.

I'm like, why are you such a loser? Quiet down your car.

You just want to disturb everyone.

No, it's always some sort of Dodge. Yeah.

Love motorcycle guys. What are you doing? Yeah.

No, I don't. No. I'm like, how would you safely bury my children? You'll be dead. Good point. You'll be dead before we have to go to preschool. Yeah.

He was trying to dominate you. Oh, my God. Sign of dominance.

What did you do?

Yeah, it's quite rude. Still a peeve.

Yeah, neither do I. Me neither. I just wear it.

Is he a very small man?

How do you know? Why does Mark know this?

How come, usually those rumors get around and that one has not reached me yet.

They didn't ask you?

Yeah.

And Whitney. And Whitney. Yeah.

Woo! That's what mean guys comment on my videos. They're like, he has the same condition as RFK Jr. They all write that. I sound like RFK Jr.

They all write it.

Thank you, Sam.

Has anyone ever gotten mad at you and been like, what the hell is this?

I went on Saturday. Oh, really? Yeah. How was Nate? He was great.

Yeah, it was so much fun. I've never been before.

Yeah.

Yeah, and it was so cool seeing Dana Carvey, too.

Yeah.

She has her voice down.

It's incredible.

Yes.

I watched that. It was like four episodes. I had no idea what I was getting into. It was like four episodes. My dad raped me. I was like, what?

I think it's good, though, because they're going to get a new trial, I think.

Even though they're really mad. They were so mad at Ryan Murphy. They were? Yeah, because they're not happy with their portrayal.

yeah but apparently trial was that they didn't believe in male um sexual assault back then and so all the evidence was dismissed in their trial and that's where they got life and so now they're saying if it were evaluated now they'd be tried completely differently good point i heard there's no evidence though the but there's no evidence i mean how do you get the evidence 40 years later.

You drink your dad's jizz enough.

They were like six years old.

What a guy.

Yeah, his eyes are wild.

I remember being a kid, like, walking by, and my brothers were watching, and I'd be like, what the fuck is with his eyes?

You're like pushing her down a ramp. Yeah.

Yeah, it was so sinister. It was like some Michael Jackson shit. Oh, really? Like the text messages that got released.

They were like, look at this moron. He's going to buy more shit from me. What? Yeah.

I think it makes perfect sense.

Those things are crazy.

And then they won't let you fall asleep either.

And you're like, I'd like my brain to just shut down.

I'd like to recommend The Penguin.

Pull it up.

Yeah, it's not my shit. I would have never sought it out, but I thought it's so good.

You cannot tell. He's like some scary ass ogre.

Kristen Milioti is incredible.

She's amazing.

Yeah, it's all the mob, which is not what I thought it was going to be about.

My mom says poonhound.

What a vintage.

No, it's like we all, like my brothers and stuff, you know, that would be a heckle to them all the time in sports.

And that was pre-Viagra.

They didn't have protein back then.

Oh. Yeah, it's Adolph. Good point.

But he definitely is on something at that age to be that ripped. You know, he's on T or something.

Oh, yeah, RFK.

Yeah, because he's so jacked, and it's like you just don't produce enough testosterone to be that jacked at that age. Totally.

Oh, JFK Jr.

That's what I thought. That's what I thought you were saying.

He's such a babe, yeah. Such a babe. Oh, my God. He is incredible.

JFK Jr.

Yeah. He's real fresh looking.

Yeah, baby.

Yeah. Oh, my God. Look at that.

I'm such a freak. Like, my number one love of my life is Walton Goggins.

Yeah. Like, I think he's just so cool and so amazing.

I like guys that are not, like, the actor-y. Well, I guess those are really actor-y looking photos.

He got his teeth knocked out when he was a child. So people gave him shit about his teeth, but they were actually knocked out.

He's in everything. He has so much range.

All of it.

All at once, yeah.

Yeah, I like a fucking freak-o. Who else? Who else?

Oh, yeah.

It's like a nostalgia thing. But he was excellent in that show.

Yeah. And he's like so nice to her.

It's just like a guy being nice.

Off the top of my head.

There's no rhyme or reason to the men I like. I like also Jeffrey Dean Morgan because he just seems like a man that grills in the back of...

What? Yeah.

Yeah, I know. They have a similar vibe.

Yeah, I also like Dwayne Wade.

I know.

Yeah.

I really am.

Yeah.

It's really not a, it's like a X factor thing.

You know, which has not served me well in my life at all.

Because a relationship cannot be sustained on je ne sais quoi.

You know.

Damn, Bill's pulling.

Thora? Wow.

Emma Stone. Holy shit.

You did the Huff. Wow.

I know. I have the same thought.

I was like, wow, me and Bill are just twinsies.

Uh-huh.

Married? Married. I loved it.

Yeah. I was like, more men should wrangle crocodiles.

Yeah.

I bet he drinks bodega cat.

So sales are going to skyrocket.

From the interview?

But my reps made me take down my... What? I had a feat OnlyFans for 24 hours, and then they made me take it down because I auditioned for Disney a lot.

Yeah, beautiful feat, right?

I'm glad they took my regular pictures.

Yeah, no, it wasn't your fault.

And also, like, creative.

I didn't even know that was a possibility.

I say this all the time.

Thank you, Kyle. Please spread this. I'm always shocked. And my friends are always like, you couldn't see it coming? I was like, no. It was like mid-sentence.

But I'm always like, but like, how could you not tell that I was not into it at all? Like, can't you feel a vibe?

Not a bad date. Like, I wouldn't say they were bad dates. Like, I feel like I screen really well, so they were very nice people. They were not, like, bad guys at all. Like, I've never even had a bad experience, but I just did not see this coming from anywhere. Like, because I was like, I've known you for 30 minutes at 6.30 p.m. and still light out.

I always think that I'm going to say something quippy or something in that moment, and then you're so caught off guard that I'm like, okay, I guess I'm just going to be polite and kiss this man back, but I don't want to.

No! I'll just try to make it quick or whatever.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I don't even want to kiss a stranger. Like, I can't imagine wanting to sleep with a stranger.

I have to really, really like someone to want to sleep with them. I know you can't relate to this at all.

I think that makes sense.

sense though yeah yeah i think if guys are on a bad first date you're thinking like how can i still get laid oh totally sure whereas i don't think i mean women don't think that way right no they're like gotta get out no i'm like ew how do i get out of here i won't even do a dinner date for a first date because like i think men at this age now they're trying to be like polite and gentlemanly where they want to like take you to dinner and i'm like i don't want them to feel like they wasted money or anything if it's not a vibe

A dinner date, I think it's nice for a second date. First date, I'm like, I want a 45 minute good cap.

I feel the same way. I'm like, oh, my God, we're really making eye contact.

No, I don't think that. And I'm not worried about that. I just don't want them to feel like, you know, that they were used. Yes. I don't want them to feel used.

And I don't want to be trapped either.

yeah that's happened that's how i instituted the rule i was like i had one night free from being home from the road and i was so tired but i was like i gotta go date i gotta be like a real life woman and then i go and um after 90 minutes i was just like sos bitch to like lock eyes for the check right went on three hours i was like never again dude just kept ordering tapas

Tapas is like being held hostage.

They can just keep ordering more plates.

You are not in control. You are really trapped.

You know what? I hate to agree, but I do. Okay. Wow. If you are going with the gender rules, which I do, I don't think a woman should ever pay or split past 30 years old. I think that's ridiculous. A guy split the check, I'm like, you're a pussy. I don't like you. What are you doing? Yeah. I don't want that.

I can't even help it. It's not even a rule or anything. It's just like I lose attraction. you know what i mean because i'm like i'm spending so much money on my hair and makeup and my goddamn nails and outfits and all this that i don't want to do okay that that see that makes sense yeah he shows up scrunchy armpits split the check

I think don't ask a woman on a date if you can't pay for it. I'm going to get so much shit for this.

Or what I've always said, too, as long as it doesn't have to be a really nice restaurant, take her to tacos. I just take out the check.

i have such the opposite thing as you guys because like i know you guys that your whole move is like every male comic is bringing the girls to the show they're always like can i come to your show i was like absolutely not yeah yeah i invite you to my show right i feel like that's dangerous like if you don't do well like that could be bad or they don't like what you say

Also, I'm like a maniac on stage. I'm completely different off stage. I don't want them to see me being Vince McMahon. You know what I mean? And also, I'm not trying to bring a guy with me to sit in the hall at the comic store. Every dude comic clowns me.

I feel like when I'm married, I'll bring them.

You didn't like my act? You're a cashier.

That's good.

It's definitely money.

You have your bank statement or your checking account number.

Yeah, you guys love this, right?

I have this bit where I feel like it goes so well until the end where I used to think that men who fell in love with strippers were the dumbest people in the world.

But then my trainer hit on me.

These men are my brothers. They have wild, open, generous, hopeful, romantic hearts. But then I try and get the end. I talk about how I, and this is a true story. I heard him hit on this really, they didn't know I could hear, this really hot girl at the gym as I was walking out. And I already knew this about him.

But then I was like, and then I had to go straight to the strip club to be with my brothers.

and like it hits but i feel like i need a harder right but you also hit on another girl everyone yeah yeah but like you convince yourself that you that they don't yeah you know and like it's true you're paying him yeah so there's a money part too where i i tried to go down that line it didn't really work where i was like i was gonna get you out of here i was gonna get you through school you know but i feel like it didn't hit that's funny that's so funny you telling your friends like no he this guy like

I have this. My friends, I have a part in the bit about this. How my friends are like, why would you keep going to someone who says those things? Why would you keep going to someone?

I'm not in love.

He's ridiculous.

He is.

Yeah.

I know, but not that I can afford.

yeah but if you guys if you joke machines come up with a tag all right all right maybe also the i love the idea like the lap dance he's like stretching you that's like the same oh yeah no i did have a line too where i was like yeah i thought it was weird he kept telling me to work on my giggles but

I heard him hit on someone else.

It was like humiliating.

I was like, this is how men feel. Where they like really believe like the strippers are in love with him.

That's a perfect A to B. And I was like, I'm so dumb.

Yeah, exactly. How do you grow up after that?

Do they have their shots?

So not to take them to dinner first. Maybe something about them getting wet.

Yeah, I need these medically.

I have a note from my doctor.

Okay.

We have Vulcan Gas in Austin, November 7th. And watch my special on YouTube, please.

Live from the big dog, baby.

It was so fun. Thank you.
