  • Used to love …

    I used to love this podcast. Mel and Kellie were great, relatable, raw and honest. I hate how much the ads interrupt listening and the are interrupting the middle of talking, not even the end of a topic. When Kellie left the vibe definitely changed and not for the better.

  • My saving grace

    This pod cast has helped me through my entire journey after having weight loss surgery. Times when I felt lost and confused this podcast has helped me find the answers and sense of community I needed. Thank you OSLP.

  • ALL THE GOODS IN ONE PLACE

    OSLP has been a game changer for me. Pre surgery they answered all the questions I had and didn’t know I had. Post surgery I could look for support anytime I needed. Mel is so honest and upfront. If you struggle with weight-loss or prioritizing yourself this app and fb group is for you!
