Bieber's Workout, Shallow Hal & a Failed Gastric Band

🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh! We’re Kari and Lisa — two moms, 150+ pounds lighter, still untangling what it means to love ourselves in a world that never missed a chance to body-shame us.

This week’s episode dives into:

💪 Bieber’s “Murder Workout” — Kari swears her trainer (lovingly nicknamed The Biebs) is secretly trying to kill her with his workouts. (You can find The Biebs on socials @personaltranscend if you're also interested in hiring a personal hit man.)
🎬 Shallow Hal Trauma — we revisit the infamous Jack Black & Gwyneth Paltrow rom-com and unpack the fat suits, cheap laughs, and why it hit us Biggins so hard.
⚖️ A Failed Gastric Band — Lisa opens up about the setbacks of her surgery experience… and how the only bright spot was the night she finally got dubbed the Hot Okapi.

We also get real about our weight histories — from first-grade lunchroom shame to crash diets, failed fixes, and the slow climb toward real change.

If you’ve ever tried every diet under the sun, cringed at old “fat jokes” in movies, or felt like exercise was low-key murder… this one’s for you.
