ATTN: WOMEN SERIOUS ABOUT OVERCOMING WLS REGAIN...FOR GOOD!
Rightsize Lifestyle Academy™
Awaken the mindset, body & life you love in as little as 10-20 minutes a day...without deprivation or drastic measures!
Do You Ever Feel Broken?
You tried EVERYTHING to lose weight before finally turning to weight loss surgery.ÂÂAfter all you've been through, you never dreamed you might once again find yourself struggling with old thinking, unwanted habits and regain.ÂIt's not just exhausting, it's soul-crushing.ÂÂYou wonder, "What's wrong with me? Did I stretch it? Have I failed surgery? What are they whispering behind my back? Is there still hope for me?"ÂÂKnow this: You're not alone, and you have NOT failed!ÂIn fact, you've already got everything inside of you to be successful. You just need someone to show you how.
This Time WILL be Different.
There's no one like you.
You could eat what I eat, do the exact same workouts, have identical stress levels, and yet we'd have totally different outcomes.ÂÂNo wonder all the "cookie cutter" nutrition and exercise plans you've been given all your life haven't delivered long-term results.ÂWhat you're eating and how much you're sweating are NOT at the core of what's blocking you from achieving the body in which you look and feel your best.ÂIf you're ready to break away from the chaos of the diet mentality and step into the calm, confident and in control version of yourself, then your breakthrough begins with the power of one...one step, one action, one shift at a time.ÂThe Rightsize Lifestyle Academy™ will teach you how.Â
Rightsize Lifestyle Academy™
This program teaches you how to lay the foundation for success and align your mindset, behaviors and environment to support the amazing tool that weight loss surgery gave you so that you can experience the confidence, peace and freedom of the Rightsize Lifestyle. The Academy's four areas of focus include foundation, environment, mindset and behavior.
FOUNDATION
Create a rock-solid foundation upon which you can begin building your unique Rightsize Lifestyle
ENVIRONMENT
Influence your social, physical and physiological environments to facilitate a gentle, peaceful transformation
MINDSET
Step into your Rightsize Identity, shift beliefs, create awareness and recalibrate your mindset so you find the place of calm & confidence
BEHAVIOR

What's Inside the Academy?
Get ready to go deep, because it's time to stop trying to fix the symptoms and instead heal the underlying challenges by creating your unique Rightsize Lifestyle™.
Once you get inside the Academy, here's some of what you'll experience:
Your Course Library
As a Rightsize Lifestyle Academy™ member, you’ll have a password protected Library you can access 24/7. Inside, there is a course overview, four modules, video lessons, implementation activities, workbook downloads and bonuses. Content is released in 12 stages. The Library tracks your progress and has space available to ask questions.Â
Module & Lesson Format
Each module contains video lessons, implementation activities and supporting documents for that phase of your journey. Lesson format is similar to Shelly's bootcamp, with Shelly speaking on video next to a slideshow. The difference is that the lessons are broken into smaller chunks that make them easily digestible and easier for you to control how much or how little content you want to consume during each visit to your library. Each module has implementation activities for you to complete so you make forward progress in your implementation of what you’ve learned.
Frameworks, Roadmaps & Processes
The Academy has one-of-a-kind frameworks, roadmaps and processes to help you understand and effectively navigate your journey. You'll get to see everything from the "big picture" down to the nitty gritty details of how to implement each element of your Rightsize Lifestyle™.Â
Workbook
Your workbook builds as you go. Each of the 12 content releases includes a portion of the workbook in a fillable PDF format so you can use it in either printed or electronic format. All workbooks include lesson summaries and exercises. Â
Academy Tracker & Reward
You’ll have access to a chart to keep you motivated and track your progress. When you reach the magic points threshold, you can take a photo of your tracker, send it to Shelly and soon thereafter receive your reward...something really cool that will be delivered to your home!
Community & Support
The lessons and implementation missions provide an amazing roadmap that empower you to create your Rightsize Lifestyle. With these tools, you can journey far on your own. Yet, most of us want to...
Go further, faster!
That's where community creates advantage for you. The Academy community is here to help you elevate your experience with camaraderie, inspiration and support.Â
You know from experience that on some days it can be hard to self-motivate. That's why the program is community-centric and offers the following opportunities to share your journey with other women:

Watch Parties

Monthly Q&A Sessions
Got questions? Together, we'll uncover the answers. Each month, Shelly hosts a live Q&A Session where you can ask her anything. In addition to Shelly's responses, group input on the questions is encouraged so we can learn from one another's experiences.
Weekly Elite Support Group (Elite Program Only)

Shelly's unique approach to this healing modality focuses on the eight ways you are "Wired for Food" to help you break through barriers and begin gaining control over cravings, food memories, emotional eating, stress and more.
Learning to Love Yourself (Academy Elite Bonus Only)
Do you struggle to love yourself and/or your body? Then you'll find value in the Learning to Love Yourself Workshop recording that explores how to step into your self-worth. Workbook included.

Once per month, Shelly hosts a casual Saturday morning session where members can ask questions, brainstorm challenges, share experiences and hang out with your Academy friends. It's basically "girl time" for Elite members.

Here's What People Are Saying ...
Jan in Illinois says…
“I have lost 17 pounds and can't wait to hit 20. When I started, I thought the road was impossible since I gained all but 7 pounds back from my first initial sleeve gastrectomy surgery. But with the Rightsize Mindset I know the impossible is possible and I'm NOT broken. Thanks for that!Â
Norma in Wyoming says…
“I had gastric bypass in 2004 and lost 114 lbs. Since then, I've tried different diets, lost, regained, felt shamed and gave up. Last November, at a routine doctor visit, when I stepped on the scale for my weigh-in I was shocked that I had gained back 68 lbs. I decided I had to make a change and get back to my former, comfortable weight.
I started the Rightsize Lifestyle Academy Elite in January 2024. I was nervous about the cost of the class but decided to give it a try; it's been worth every penny. Shelly has been great, always upbeat and sharing her own story. Her and the other members have been so positive and supportive. This class is like a family, we can share anything.
I've taken small challenges on one at a time...the result is an awesome 16 lb. weight loss in three months, and I'm still going. I don't feel like I would have made this kind of progress without the support of the Academy."Â
Noemi in Switzerland says…
“More than 10 years after my WLS, I finally found Shelly and an incredible group of people with whom I can share my journey, support and be supported. [This program] is an incredible support to fight against regain! What I like the most about the course is the fact that it provides clear practical tools to change my mindset and empower me to implement real changes in my relationship with food.”Â
Marie in Texas says…
“The program has been a turning point for me since my WLS surgery three and a half years ago. I lost my way and had some regain. Joining the [program] has brought me new and exciting information and support from other WLS patients. Much needed support as I had moved away from my doctor and support group in Southern California. Thankfully, I made the decision to join Shelly's program and I feel my confidence coming back. I look forward to the support I receive thru this community, it has been a blessing!”
Susan in California says…
“When you’re struggling with regain, it’s so easy to fall into the abyss of despair and shame. Trying to figure it out alone wasn’t working for me. I needed help, inspiration and a mentor to guide me out of the darkness. Enter Shelly Southall and her totally unique approach. Shelly’s program is exactly what I needed. Her inspired thinking, refreshing approach and bite-size coaching gave me the courage to step out of shame and into action. It's a real game-changer to reclaiming a “Yes, I can” mindset. Shelly tackles the gnarly “diet mentality” and does so with compassion, understanding and first-hand experience. If you’re struggling with regain, I highly recommend Shelly’s program. Her program has given me the right mindset to step into rightsized self!"
Is the Academy for Me?
Let's be clear. The Rightsize Lifestyle Academy™ is not for everyone. It’s not for someone looking for a nutrition plan. It’s not for anyone seeking a diet. It’s not for someone looking for an overnight fix.
This program is for you if:
...you're FED UP WITH obsessing over calories, macros, crazy cardio and stressing about fitting into that little black dress .Â
...you want to break the cycle of regain with a gentle approach that is not one-size fits all.
…you want a program that can be tailored to your unique needs and desires.Â
...you're willing to do the deep work so that this time, your transformation will last because you live in a state of calm, confidence and consistency.Â
IMPORTANT NOTE: This program is reserved exclusively for women who have had weight loss surgery.Â
Are You Ready?
Because Shelly is so passionate about helping women in the bariatric community, she's made certain that the Academy is jam-packed with value. Below, everything that's included is outlined.

The Watch Parties cycle through the Academy video lessons year-round. It takes about six months to cycle through all lessons since we go at a slow pace. We watch the video lessons together and Shelly adds extra live Watch Party Nuggets (additional thoughts/learning) as we go. Academy members interact in chat.Â
Most watch parties will include 5- to 10-minute breakouts in Zoom Rooms so you can discuss the content with other community members and explore how you'll implement what you learn. If you don't feel comfortable doing the breakouts, that's fine...you can instead hang out in the main Zoom room with Shelly :)
It doesn't matter where we are in the cycle when you join, the content is structured in a way that it will make sense and you can implement what you learn.Â

I'm Shelly...Your Guide in This Journey
I get it, I really do. Women in our community are often shocked when they share with me their deepest, darkest secrets about their struggles with food, feelings and weight...the things that they are too embarrassed to admit to anyone else. What surprises them is that what they consider to be shameful, weak or embarrassing is actually pretty normal. And, here's how I know:
The Journey Begins
Imagine…You’re ready to bite into a brownie, when you’re third grade teacher scolds you in front of your classmates because, “You can’t eat that; you’re on a diet!”
…Being told by your weight loss psychologist in high school, “I can’t treat you anymore because now that you’ve lost weight, I find you attractive.”
…Being told in your annual performance review that, “You should lose weight, so you appear more professional to clients.”
Experiences like these combined with comorbidities led me to a gastric bypass in April 2002. I credit weight loss surgery with not only changing my life but saving it.
Figuring Out Rightsize...
Surgery gave me a powerful tool that helped me lose 101 lbs. After the “honeymoon period” I struggled with the return of old thinking and habits. The scale started going up. I panicked, turning to “resets” and diets that only made matters worse.
By January 2017, I had been carrying around more than 50 lbs of regain for years. I was embarrassed. I was ashamed. I was so angry at myself. I was back on blood pressure meds. And, I felt defeated because I was convinced I had failed bariatric surgery. Â
A moment at a theme park with my 9-year old niece changed my life. I committed to figure out how to lose the weight for once and for all. I became the mad scientist in the lab of Rightsize Living…figuring out what worked and what didn’t. I lost ALL of the regain without deprivation or drastic measures and I’ve been loving life in my rightsize self ever since.
Today, 22 years after surgery, I’m on a mission to help women living in the place of pain, shame and despair I once lived in after surgery. You see, the tool that surgery gave you is amazing, but it’s only part of the solution. Only YOU have the power to change your mindset, behaviors and environment to create your own unique Rightsize Lifestyle.Â
Here's What People Are Saying ...
Ruth in Wisconsin says…
"I worked on organizing my computer last night and came across my things I’d used in the program with you. Glad to say It’s stuck with me … I can almost hear you guiding me sometimes. My habits have taken time to change, but I’ve lost 16 lbs thus far. Slow and steady!! Ty for your inspiration!!!" Â
Jan in Illinois says…
“Your energy and positivity is contagious, which has helped me through this process of opening up who I am and what makes me tick. I love your science evidence-based research that gives the true explanation of why we do what we do and how to approach situations.”
Christine in Australia says…
“I just wanted to let you know that I've lost 4.7kgs (10lbs) in the past six weeks. I'm really pleased with where my head is at at the moment and feeling really positive about the changes that are happening and wanted to thank you for being a big part of that.”
Paula in California says…
“My new mentality is grounded in love…love for myself and love for life. My focus is on feeding and moving my body in a way that makes me strong mentally and physically. My sister works in a nursing home, so I’m acutely aware of preserving my quality of life. My ability to stay healthy and strong is now top of mind. After letting go of the diet mentality and taking control of my health, my husband and I are living life to the fullest, staying active and taking trips almost every month. And you know what? I’m worth it!”
Leigh Ann in Alabama says…
“I have learned a lot from the [program]. I have learned that I am enough. I have learned that weight and measurements are just data, to make one change at a time until it becomes a habit, the importance of journaling, the importance of positive self-talk, the importance of getting right back to Bitesize Changes Process when I slip up, how important it is to celebrate even the small changes, and many other things. Also, I have learned the importance of repetition, connection, and mindset, which are invaluable. I realize now that if I believe I can do it, I will! Thanks so much Shelly! This [Academy] and you have been so inspiring!”
Â
Cris in California says…
“Shelly is the best thing that happened to me this past year. In such a chaotic and scary time she came into my life as a calming influence who is always positive and brings out the positive in those whom she counsels. Through her “rightsize” community I have made some of the best friends of my life. She has a wonderful way of getting us to” be there” for each other and I am most grateful.”
