It’s not really a question of “if” you have weight loss mindset blocks (you do), it’s more about figuring out exactly which ones you have, so you can solve for them and get to your goal weight.

There’s a lot of information out there about weight loss for menopausal women, and some of it is straight-up wrong. To help you separate fact from fiction, on this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re debunking twelve of the biggest weight loss myths, plus of course I’ll share the real facts so you can lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever.Your body and your brain are always always always working together, so any weight loss advice that doesn’t address your mindset isn’t giving you the complete answer.Second, and this is almost the same point, but in a broader context, weight loss is never about one thing.Which means that any advice that purports that weight loss is driven by one singular factor – like eating during a specific window of time, or eliminating a specific type of food, or exercising in a specific way – is incomplete.The simple science behind weight loss is that it’s driven by three things, in this exact order: 1, believing that you can, 2, eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, and 3, lovingly supporting your menopausal metabolism.So now that you know the facts, let’s get to the Twelve Biggest Weight Loss MYTHS, so we can debunk those suckers!Ready to lose weight for the last time?

When you’re not losing weight it’s almost never because of your calories. And yet, that’s the conclusion we all jump to immediately, even though changing up your calories is more likely to slow you down than speed you up. On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing three important things to do (that aren’t changing your calories) when you’re not losing weight.Weight loss is a long game, and it’s driven by three things, in this exact order: number one, believing that you can, number two, eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, and number three, lovingly supporting your menopausal metabolism while you do numbers one and two.Fiddling around with your calories (number two) before you address the belief piece (number one) is kind of like trying to read a book in a foreign language when you don’t even know the alphabet yet. Sure, you can make guesses, but it’s unlikely that you’ll make sense of the story.Imagine jumping into the deep end of a pool when you don’t believe that you can swim. You’ll just thrash around and, at best, tread water, instead of gliding smoothly to the other side.You absolutely, positively, must take a look at your mindset – your beliefs – before making adjustments to your calories, so that you don’t find yourself splashing around and not making progress toward your weight loss goal.This is why the three things to do when you’re not losing weight that I’m sharing with you today are all mindset-focused – so you can swim like a champion and read novels with ease.No, I’m joking.I’m showing you how to change your mindset so you can lose all the weight you want after menopause and keep it off forever.Ready to lose weight for the last time?

You’ve been working on losing weight for a while, but you’re still not seeing the results you want on the scale. It feels super frustrating to put in all this effort and not be making any progress. So, why aren’t you losing weight? And what can you do about it? On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing four reasons why you’re not losing weight … yet.Before we get into it, make sure you really take the time to hear the last word in the title of this episode: yet. While it may or may not be true that you’re not losing weight right now (and we’ll talk about how that might not even be true in reason number four!), your current weight loss progress is not an indicator of your future success.Because the simple formula for permanent weight loss is this: Step One, believe that you can lose weight. Step Two, eat in a slight caloric deficit over time, and Step Three, lovingly support your menopausal metabolism while you’re doing Step One and Step Two.Right now, there’s a really good chance that disbelief is lurking in every corner of your brain. It’s not just the thought, “I don’t believe I can lose weight” that’s stopping you, though that’s definitely one of the most common mindset blocks I hear. But there are other ways that disbelief shows up in your life and, notably, on the scale, that we’re talking about today. These four reasons you’re not losing weight YET, are your ticket to uncovering your disbelief mindset blocks, so you can bust through them.Ready to lose weight for the last time?

You can’t really lose weight without dieting…can you? What if this so-called conventional wisdom isn’t very wise after all? What if you could lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever, without feeling like you’re on a diet at all? My friend, you can, and this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will tell you how.The fact is, you can DO all the things to lose weight – which is to say, creating belief in yourself and eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, while supporting your menopausal metabolism with adequate hydration, sleep, and exercise – without FEELING like you’re on a diet.Because your feelings don’t come from what you’re doing – they come from your thoughts. 🤯You’re not doomed to constantly feeling restriction, obligation, pressure, uncertainty, frustration, anger, or overwhelm on your weight loss journey. In fact, this week I’m offering up three alternative (and much more pleasant) feelings that you can easily have while you’re losing weight, instead of feeling like you’re on a diet.Thanks for joining me!Ready to lose weight for the last time?

A couple of years ago, I lost weight for the last time. And while I was losing weight, I experienced three really big mindset shifts that forever changed the way I think about my body, my weight, and myself. So today, I’m sharing with you the three biggest mindset shifts I made to lose weight in my 50s.Mindset is basically just another word for belief or beliefs. Which is basically just another way of saying a thought or collection of thoughts that you’ve been practicing subconsciously and maybe haven’t challenged. We all have beliefs we’ve never looked at! And that’s why mindset work is such a crucial part of weight loss. Right now, you have beliefs about losing weight that are holding you back, and any time you want to, you can simply challenge them and SHIFT to a different belief.Here are the three biggest mindset shifts I made to lose weight in my 50s:From “I can’t” to “I can, but I might choose not to”From “Menopause sucks!” to “This is what my body is supposed to do”From “Losing weight is harder over 50” to “Losing weight is different over 50”Losing weight in your 50s and beyond and keeping it off for the rest of your life will require you to shift your mindset. Right now you have thoughts and beliefs that aren’t helping you lose the weight you want. But you can shift out of your unhelpful mindset and into the thoughts, beliefs and feelings that will take you directly to your goal weight.Ready to lose weight for the last time?

Wanna speed up your weight loss results? Of course you do. Then my friend, one of the first things you need to look at is what you’re currently doing (or in this case, NOT doing) that’s slowing you down. On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing five things you’re NOT doing that are slowing down your weight loss results.I get asked a lot about what to DO for weight loss – which makes sense, because I’m a weight loss coach! And of course I have a super simple framework called The 5-0 Method that tells you exactly what to do each day to lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever.But the thing we’re talking about today is something I almost never get asked about, and that’s what you’re NOT doing, and how it’s not only dramatically affecting your weight loss, but could be the reason why you would struggle to keep the weight off in the future.Here are five things you’re NOT doing that are slowing down your weight loss results:You’re not JOURNALINGYou’re not WEIGHING YOURSELFYou’re not TRACKING YOUR CALORIESYou’re not HOLDING YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLEYou’re not DOING A MONTHLY CHECK INBeing willing to look at yourself honestly – your thoughts, your weight, your calories, your accountability and your progress – is THE THING that will speed up your weight loss results.Ready to lose weight for the last time?

You’ve been wanting to lose weight for a while now, but there’s a part of you that feels really foolish about going on another diet in your 50s. I mean, how vain is that? It’s not like you’re going to go running around in a bikini at this age. But on the other hand, you’ve always wanted to be a woman of a “certain age” who looks and feels her best. One of those women whose whole essence oozes calm confidence and self-assurance. Maybe you could rock a bikini.Ugh! But maybe you should just get over it and accept that this is your menopausal body – with 30 extra pounds. My friend, if this is the argument that you keep having in your head about whether or not weight loss is important, this podcast episode is for YOU.Join me as we identify the lessons you’ll learn and the benefits you’ll gain on a weight loss journey to self love, self trust, and showing up as your best self in the world.Ready to lose weight for the last time?

You’ve gained and lost weight before, maybe even dozens of times, and you’re sick of it. You’re ready to be done with this dieting nonsense forever. But how does that even work? How do you lose weight for the last time? Like THIS.On this week’s episode, I’m going to lay out how to lose weight for the last time in a step-by-step list, but let me also point out the overarching theme – the one key takeaway that, if it’s the only thing you remember from this podcast, it’ll still send you in the right direction.And it’s this: losing weight for the last time REQUIRES YOU to create a loving and trusting brain-body connection. If you don’t do this, you will continue to create the results you’ve created in the past, or the results you currently have. Meaning, you’ll gain and lose weight again and again, or you’ll stay stuck where you are now.On the other hand, when your brain and your body are working together as a team, you will be unstoppable, and getting to your goal weight will be inevitable.Tune in now, and when you’re ready to lose weight for the last time, join us in the Get Your GOAL group!Ready to lose weight for the last time?

Don’t worry, today’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast isn’t really about the “F” word you’re probably thinking of – the four-lettered one. But we are absolutely going to chat about a certain three-lettered “F” word that’s slowing down your weight loss, and I’ll be sharing my best strategies for overcoming this common mindset block, so you can get your goal.You’re kind of afraid of writing certain things in your journal, aren’t you? Like it’s too personal, or too embarrassing, or too vulgar to put into writing.Maybe you’re afraid of writing in your journal at all. If you had a sibling read your diary when you were younger or adults telling you that “good girls don’t talk like that,” you might be worried that your words could be used against you.But, my friend, let me say this plainly: censoring yourself in your journal is blocking you from losing weight.So in this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re uncovering why you do it, how to stop, and how it’ll change your life (and your weight!) to be completely open and honest with yourself inside the safety of your journal.Ready to lose weight for the last time?

You stepped on the scale this morning, and it was up 1.2 pounds from yesterday. Your heart sank to your stomach, and your brain went into overdrive, telling you that obviously, this is a disaster – you’re gaining weight! You’re never going to get to your goal, or if you do, now it’s going to take longer. It’s all because of those stupid cookies you ate yesterday. If you had any self control at all, this wouldn’t have happened. But it’s going to be okay, today’s a new day, and you’ll just get on with it as best you can. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? My friend, today on the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re digging deep into the monkey chatter you hear in your brain, and I’ve got a simple, practical MINDSET solution for what to do when the scale goes up.Before we talk about mindset, though, let’s clear up a little biology: today’s weight didn’t go up because of what you ate yesterday. Your body has billions of daily processes that affect the scale, and what you’ve recently eaten is only the tiniest fraction of that.The problem is that simply understanding this fact intellectually doesn’t stop you from feeling bad. Well, here’s why: your brain is hard-wired to make meaning from data. It’s normal, it’s natural, and it’s just what your brain does!But hang on, because here comes some amazing news: your brain is ALSO hard-wired to be able to simply observe without making meaning. We just don’t get taught to use this skill, because the other way is sort of the default.When you practice this superpower, though, you’ll be unstoppable. The scale won’t ruin your day, you won’t be tempted to overexercise or undereat in response to today’s weight, and you’ll feel calm and in control – even when the scale goes up.Ready to lose weight for the last time?

Which would you rather: lose weight fast, or lose weight permanently? This is easy: FAST weight loss! No, wait. PERMANENT weight loss. Fast? Permanent? It’s so hard to choose! Well, hold onto your hat, GOALfriend, because they’re not mutually exclusive, and today I’m going to tell you how you can have BOTH.First a disclaimer: when I’m saying fast weight loss, I’m not writing a snake oil check that biology can’t cash. Your body has limits to what it can and will do. For a woman over 50, “fast weight loss” means losing something in the neighborhood of 1-5 pounds a month, without starting and stopping over and over, or stalling out for weeks, months, or years at a time.And permanent weight loss doesn’t mean you’ll never gain an ounce, but rather that you’ll maintain your weight within a range of about 5-10 pounds while – here’s the best part – never worrying about your weight again.So our topic today answers the question: what can you do to put an end to self-sabotage, keep losing weight consistently, and ensure that you’ll get all the way to your goal weight without gaining it all right back?In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re taking an honest look at the roots of impatience that have you craving fast weight loss, and I’m sharing the super simple actions you can take that’ll make your weight loss both fast and permanent.Ready to lose weight for the last time?

Weight loss over 50 is driven by three things, in this exact order: number one, believing that you can. Number two, eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, and number three, lovingly supporting your metabolism while you do the other two things.Getting your brain onboard with weight loss and believing that you can lose weight is, hands down, the most important part of your weight loss journey. Your body doesn’t go anywhere your brain doesn’t go first. But the solution isn’t just chanting affirmations or forcing yourself to think positive thoughts.There’s actually a simple path to total weight loss belief in yourself, your body, and your decisions that starts with observation.Observing a thing (your disbeliefs) changes a thing. And this is the exact work we begin with The 5-0 Method, which includes journaling prompts that help you observe your brain and its disbeliefs.The next step is untangling those disbeliefs, by feeling your feelings instead of shoving them down. Getting in touch with your body and building this bridge of trust between your thoughts and feelings is the root of unshakeable belief.And finally, the last step is setting yourself free from your old disbeliefs, by gently letting them go. Learning to master the skills of observing, untangling and setting free is the clear path to permanent weight loss.Helpful Timestamps:00:00 Recording inside, comfy and alone for once.03:45 Mindset matters; your brain leads the way.06:46 Example, mixed beliefs about shoes.10:50 Understanding how thoughts affect feelings and actions.13:52 Get your mindset on board for weight loss!17:18 Starting mindset work in weight loss journey.21:31 Acknowledge that thoughts create feelings, start by noticing.24:44 Examine habits, feelings, and subconscious thoughts closely.27:31 Believing in yourself for permanent weight loss!31:48 Mastering mindset is essential for lasting weight loss.32:56 Maximize potential with The 5-0 Method.Ready to lose weight for the last time?

Wanna know why your last weight loss program didn’t work? The short answer is this: they were only trying to change your body. But my friend, weight loss only finishes in your body. It starts in your brain. So, if you want to ditch the programs that don’t work, and lose weight for the last time, you gotta know what’s been missing from those other plans. Which is exactly what we’re talking about today.Weight loss feels like such a “body thing,” and you’ve heard your whole life that it’s all about calories in and calories out, so if you want to lose one pound, you’ve gotta burn 3500 calories. But how come it’s never that easy in real life?Because sustainable, permanent weight loss isn’t just about your body.Your brain and your body are always working together, which means that your weight loss program needs to work with them both.Helpful Timestamps:00:00 The podcast discusses why other weight loss programs failed.06:30 Negative thoughts and doubts affecting weight loss.10:10 Many programs didn't work due to unsustainable habits and food preferences.13:05 Create belief in weight loss through intentional decisions and data collection, leading to sustainable habits and self-belief.14:36 Creating belief for yourself is key to weight loss success with the Five O Method. Understanding past failures is essential for making it work.18:55 Address disbeliefs, sustainable habits, intentional belief, daily journaling, portion control, mindset shift.Ready to lose weight for the last time?
