    When it comes to losing weight over 50, there's so much conflicting information. But the science is clear, and I can help you sort it out so YOU can lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever. On this week's episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we're diving into the archives and answering your questions about calories! Be sure to WATCH this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ON2FiPdd98g Should you eat your calories throughout the day, or is it okay to eat them in one setting? And what if you're still hundreds of calories away from your target, but it's the end of the day? You don't want to throw your body into starvation mode, but you don't want to gain weight from late-night snacking either. So what's a menopausal girl to do? The short answer is: it depends – not just on the calories, but on your other metabolism-supporting habits, and (most importantly) how you feel. Making The 5-0 Method work for you means listening to your brain and your body to make decisions that feel doable and sustainable.

    Feel like there are things you should be doing for weight loss (like drinking enough water), but you're just not motivated? This week on the Get Your GOAL podcast, we're diving into the struggle of consistency and I'm sharing my personal experience with staying hydrated. So grab your water bottle and let's reframe your mindset to break free from the burdensome “shoulds!” Be sure to WATCH this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JFflWVM6Rc0 It's happened to all of us at some point. You start off all gung-ho about drinking the recommended amount of water every day, only to fall off the wagon and berate yourself for not doing what you "should" be doing. Sound familiar? But here's the thing I've learned: all this "shoulding" doesn't do you any good. It just drags you down and makes you feel burdened. And what's worse is that it often leads to avoiding doing the very thing you're "shoulding" yourself to do! So, what's the solution? Instead of telling yourself, "I *should* be drinking my water," ask yourself, "Why do I *want* to drink water?" It seems like such a small difference, but trust me, focusing on the reasons you want to do something makes it easier to take action. Rather than feeling burdened, you'll discover a sense of curiosity and excitement about drinking water. And here's the real secret: It's finding your own motivation, your own reasons for wanting to drink water that'll get you to actually drink. Maybe it's because you want to feel energized, or because it supports your weight loss goal, or simply because it makes you feel good. Whatever it is, make it personal and meaningful to you. Stop "shoulding" on yourself and start creating the results you really want. Cheers to a fabulous, hydrated life, my friend!

Answering your questions is my absolute favorite part of my job, so get ready for a fun and informative show. But before we dive into the Q&A session, I wanted to share some exciting news. I'll be hosting an all-new, live Q&A session in November, exclusively for those on my email list. If you're not on it yet, head over to https://getyourgoal.com/list/ and sign up. Now, let's talk about sleep. I received a few questions about how much sleep is recommended for weight loss, and it's such an interesting topic. Personally, I've noticed that my sleep needs have changed over the years. I used to be able to function on less sleep when I was younger, but now, I really struggle with anything less than 8 hours. However, the amount of sleep you need is personal and can vary from person to person. It's not just about the number of hours in bed, but also the quality of sleep you're getting. If you're someone who struggles with insomnia or racing thoughts at night, like my friend Heather, it might be helpful to plan for more time in bed to ensure you get enough sleep. Also, journaling before sleep can be a game-changer for calming your mind. I personally like to write down my thoughts and remind myself that they're just thoughts, not facts. It really helps me be more of a compassionate observer of my own mind. Stay tuned for more exciting content and don't forget to join my email list for the exclusive live Q&A session in November.

    Let's celebrate SIX YEARS of the Get Your GOAL (formerly Fitness Matters and formerly formerly Let's RUN) podcast with a list of six things I've learned about weight loss. Be sure to WATCH this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Seb2bKGpgkw I've been a fitness professional for almost a dozen years now, so you might think I already had it all figured out when I started this podcast on October 3, 2017. Nope. Back then, I was just a young 47-year old who had barely entered perimenopause and was still running ultramarathons for fun. My, how the years (and helping thousands of women over 50 lose weight!) have changed my weight loss philosophy. SIS THINGS I'VE LEARNED ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS: - Exercise doesn't make you lose weight - Your body has a lot of information, but you might not be listening - You can eat what you want without feeling guilty - It takes as long as it takes - Un-remembering old mottos is tough - Your body only goes where your mind goes first Join me for a fun look back at six years of podcasting, and a practical look forward to YOUR weight loss journey!

    You know you need to be consistent with your weight loss habits, but it feels so HARD. How can you get consistent, and exactly how consistent do you really need to be? In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we're diving deep into the topic of consistency so YOU can lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever. Be sure to WATCH this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9bhtwrE5xXs In The 5-0 Method, I explain the five daily tasks that create weight loss: Managing your mind Eating the right number of calories Drinking the right amount of water Getting adequate sleep Exercising moderately And my standard for each of these five tasks is that you hit all five of them with 100% consistency, every single day. Because the science is incredibly clear – weight loss is driven by 1.) believing that you can 2.) eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, and 3.) 4.) and 5.) supporting your metabolism while your body is doing the difficult job of converting fat into energy. Hitting each of these tasks at 100% consistency *will* produce weight loss. But the way you've probably tried to come at this is with willpower: you've simply demanded of yourself that you do these things. You've gritted your teeth, you've put your nose to the grindstone, you've clamped a lid on yourself, or restricted yourself. What I want to offer you today is a way of thinking about, and achieving, 100% consistency that will guarantee not just your weight loss success, but your maintenance success, too. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN : - WHY building belief is so important on your weight loss journey - The DIFFERENCE between belief and willpower, and - Exactly HOW to build belief, step by step Find the show notes for this episode at [ https://getyourgoal.com/podcasts/ep-307-100-consistency/ RESOURCES: Download The 5-0 Method, Weight Loss for Women over 50: https://getyourgoal.com/ Join the Get Your GOAL Mastermind group: https://getyourgoal.com/work-with-me/

    If you're having trouble losing weight, taking a look at how much you're working out is one of the first places you can troubleshoot. Menopausal women have different exercise and recovery needs than younger women, and – believe it or not – too much exercise can actually lead to weight GAIN over 50. On this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we're exploring how much is too much. Be sure to WATCH this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/oDK6GkGWYfc Overexercise isn't always the problem, but it's a far more common issue than the internet would lead you to believe. And it's particularly problematic for menopausal women, because we recover so differently than we used to. We live in a society that values hard work, doing more, pushing yourself to extremes, and being the best. And I don't argue with those values, exactly – but I do want you to understand the nuances of how to incorporate those ideals into your menopausal life. Especially as you're losing weight. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: -How to know when you're doing too much (including the signs and symptoms you've been ignoring) -Why you find yourself continuing to do what you've always done (even when you're not getting the results you want) -The step-by-step process for finding your balance and losing weight with ease (instead of willpower) If you're ready to get to your goal weight without pushing yourself to extremes, this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast is for you!

    Today, we're diving into a topic that I see popping up all over the place—getting off track in your weight loss journey. It's a common experience that so many of us go through, and in this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I've got the answers for why you get off track and what you can do about it! Let's talk about something so many of us experience on our weight loss journeys—getting off track. Whether you're just starting out or you've been at it for a while, it happens to the best of us. But here's the good news: it's completely solvable! The root of getting off track lies in your subconscious thoughts that create feelings you'd rather avoid. Here's the key: observe what's going on without judgment. Be kind to yourself and remember that it's all part of being human. Remove the label of "off track" and embrace the opportunity for growth. When you're ready for a more advanced mindset strategy, here it is: after you've found the subconscious thought that creates the uncomfortable feeling, you simply FEEL the feeling, without doing anything else about it. As you practice observation without judgment and embrace the uncomfortable feelings, you'll find yourself more willing and capable of staying on track. Truly, there's no such thing as "off track." Every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow, and you have the power to navigate through this and keep moving forward!

    When you start journaling for weight loss with the Two-Step Tool, it's kind of shocking how many unhelpful thoughts you have, isn't it? My friend, you're not alone and your mindset isn't bad. On this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I'm sharing some inspiration to help you keep going when negativity threatens to bring you down. The first time (or the first couple of times) you sit down to journal, you really don't expect to hear anything too bad. But then you start writing and all of a sudden, it seems like everything in your head is negative! Finding negativity and unhelpful thoughts while you journal is completely normal, and doesn't mean anything about you. Your thoughts are simply a product of your experiences and social conditioning – they're electrical impulses in your brain, not indications of your worth or your character. But the discovery of these unhelpful thoughts can really throw you for a loop, and you might start to wonder…is your mindset BAD? Definitely not, and finding your unhelpful thoughts presents an opportunity for growth and transformation. By acknowledging and accepting them, you create space to replace them with more supportive and empowering ones. Remember, you don't have to force yourself to think positive thoughts!

    It happens to all of us: you go out with friends or family and fully intend to stay within your calorie target and stay on track for weight loss, but you find yourself overindulging. It seems like this behavior is beyond your control, but in this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I'm sharing the real reason you overindulge and offer a solution for what you can do instead. My friend, food is not just fuel – we've all been socialized to associate it with feelings of love, comfort, and pleasure. Overindulgence occurs in social situations or special occasions, and is driven by a desire to feel loved and connected. But here's the thing: no amount of food or drink can truly fill the void. The only person who can fill it is you. By investing in yourself and cultivating feelings of love, joy, and celebration from within, you can break the cycle of overindulgence. So, instead of viewing indulgence as a negative or self-sabotaging act, think of it as an investment in your relationships, pleasure, and self-worth. You deserve pleasure, joy, and connection. By investing in yourself, you'll find a healthier balance and a more sustainable approach to indulgence.

    Weight loss has gotten so much harder in your 50s (and beyond), hasn't it? You've started thinking that maybe you're just too old to lose weight. But in this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we're kicking that thought to the curb and exploring both the science and the mindset of losing weight at any age. You, my friend, are NOT too old to lose weight. Regardless of your age, your gender, or your life circumstances, weight loss is driven by two essential factors: believing that you can, and eating in a slight caloric deficit. For the belief piece, I like to rely on science and “stack” my belief in myself on top. Meaning, you can believe that you personally are capable of losing weight because you are a biological specimen that always responds to certain principles. So, why does it feel so much harder to lose weight than it used to? Because when you were younger, you could get away with drastic calorie restriction, but now you need to be more strategic and efficient in your behaviors. Eating in a *slight* caloric deficit is key, instead of the extreme measures you're used to. No matter your age, it's time to rewrite the narrative and approach weight loss with confidence, knowing that science (and the Get Your GOAL podcast!) is on your side.

    Every weight loss journey is unique, but you will also inevitably come across three universal “pit stops” along your way. On this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we're chatting about the three stages of weight loss, so you can navigate the road with ease. When you set out to achieve a weight loss goal, it can feel like you're traveling alone and you might even wonder if you're the only one who feels confused or overwhelmed or stuck. But you're definitely not alone. Over the years of working with thousands of women losing weight, I've identified three distinct stages of the weight loss journey that everybody goes through: the first five pounds, which are swirling with indecision; the “messy middle,” which challenges your patience and fortitude; and the last five pounds, where so many women are tempted to quit right before they reach the finish line. When you know what to expect along the way, this weight loss journey won't feel so treacherous – embrace your journey, celebrate your milestones, and bask in the certainty of your inevitable success.

On the one hand, if you're telling yourself that you already know how to lose weight, it sounds like a good thing, right?

This is all really good stuff! But, also… here you are, getting the five tasks done, but not actually losing any weight. And on the other hand, if you're telling yourself that you don't know how to lose weight, you're probably feeling a lot of confusion or overwhelm or doubt. And you might be asking a lot of questions without really implementing any of the answers, because you sort of think that that must not be it. So… you're not really losing weight, either.

On this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we're exploring how to get the best of both worlds while you're losing weight. On the one hand, you definitely want things to feel easy. Easy is pleasurable, it's what your brain craves, and it requires virtually nothing from you. So nice, right? On the other hand, though, you've been socialized to value hard work, and truly believe that nothing good comes without it. Weight loss actually has to be hard to be worthwhile, doesn't it? Navigating these opposing ideals is tough, and can stop your weight loss in its tracks.

    Depending on how much weight you want to lose, you might need to adjust your calories while on your weight loss journey. On this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I'm teaching you when, why, and how to make those adjustments. My rule of thumb is that there are two times during weight loss when you might want or need to adjust your calories – at the beginning of your journey when you're learning to be consistent, and after you've lost about 40 pounds (or your weight loss has stopped for more than four weeks). Not everybody needs to make adjustments, but if you do, here are some key points to keep in mind: -First and foremost, it's OKAY to adjust your calories. You are an experiment of one, and you can do anything. -Be sure to take your time adjusting, and spend at least a month gathering data before you make changes. -Know that the data you're gathering ISN'T from the scale, it's from your body's signals and what your brain offers you in your journal. (This blows your mind, doesn't it?) -And finally, make your adjustments based on whether or not you can eat your target calories consistently, not on whether or not you think it'll “make you lose weight.” Calories don't make you lose weight, consistency does. When you're empowered to make your weight loss journey your own, and understand how and why to adjust your calories – you're unstoppable!

    If you know me from YouTube, you've likely noticed that I'm not posting exercise videos like I used to, and maybe you've questioned why I'm not making workouts anymore. Here's why: they're not helping you lose weight. WHAT? Since when? Literally, since always – and even though I've shared with you many times over the years that you can lose weight without exercising at all, it's still one of the toughest aspects of weight loss to wrap your brain around. But as your personal weight loss life coach, I know it's time to really put my money where my mouth is, and make the information about how to lose weight permanently much more accessible. In this week's episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I'm getting personal and sharing the whole story of how I got to where I am today, the good, the bad, and the downright uncomfortable of making a career change, and what you can expect from me in the future – tune in now to find out!

    People with self discipline don't seem to have any trouble losing weight, do they? They get up early to workout, they never have trouble with snacking, they drink their water, and get plenty of sleep every night. You know that if you had that kind of self discipline, you'd be losing weight easily, too – but you're struggling with having *any* self discipline right now. How in the world can you get MORE? You can (and I'll tell you how). But also… you might not even need self discipline AT ALL. Join me on this week's episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, where I'm clapping back at the notion of needing more self discipline and offering up a kinder, gentler way to lose weight instead. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: What self discipline IS What self discipline and is NOT, and Why self discipline could actually be HOLDING YOU BACK from achieving your weight loss goals My friend, if there's one thing to take away from this episode it's this: you have the ability, the tools, and the power to make self discipline work for YOU, no matter how much of it you currently have.

    Losing weight to only gain it right back has got to be one of the hardest parts of a weight loss journey, am I right? It can make you fearful of taking a vacation (what if I gain the 10 pounds back again?), or red with anger when the scale is fluctuating (why can't the weight just stay off?), or resigned to not staying at your goal once you get there (why bother if I'm just going to put it back on?). But what does gaining weight really mean? Is the higher number you see on the scale truly a bad thing? In this week's episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I'm sharing my personal weight loss and gain (and loss and gain and loss and gain!) story, dispelling some common fears and anxieties that clients have about weight gain, and offering actionable advice about how to move forward with your weight loss, even if you gain.
