About Fab Fit Forty Plus || What Losing 100+ Pounds in Midlife Taught Me About Life, Love and Loss

Helping midlife women 40 – 60 lose weight and transform their health naturally and sustainably. Sharing the strategies and lessons I learned losing 100+ pounds in my mid 40s (perimenopause). For decades, I struggled with my weight and did the quick fixes, shakes, tracking apps, strict programs, and fad diets. Some of them worked… until they didn’t! In midlife, I decided I was DONE. Done with feeling crap, done with low confidence, done with restrictive quick fix diets! And then, things changed! I share real life tools for nutrition, fitness, sleep, stress management, motivation and mindset!

The Truth About My AHA Moment That Ignited My 100+ Weight Loss in Midlife - Why There Wasn't Just One, And Why That's Actually Better

Everyone wants to know "the one moment" that changed everything for me and launched my 100+ pound weight loss transformation in my 40s. They want to find out my secret cinematic turning point. The lightning bolt that made it all click. My Aha Moment! I get asked this question almost every week. And my answer always disappoints people at first. Because the truth is there was no single aha moment. There were many. Spread across years. And there still are. But here is what I have come to understand. That is not the disappointing answer. That is actually the better answer. Multiple "aha" moments is not a consolation prize for not having one dramatic turning point. It is the actual mechanism of lasting change. In this episode I take you through mine. The painful ones, the quiet ones, the ones I did not choose, and the ones that crept up on me so gently I almost missed them. Not to inspire you with someone else's story. But to help you find your own. Your aha moment does not have to be dramatic. It just has to be yours! WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: * Why the single cinematic aha moment for midlife weight loss is mostly a myth — and what the research says instead * The negative aha moments that scared me into action including a metro seat, an 80-year-old woman, and a photograph I tried to disappear from * Why watching the people around us can be one of the most powerful and least talked about sources of motivation * The positive aha moments that pulled me forward * Why multiple aha moments is not a weakness — it is the science of how lasting change actually works THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: * You're curious about what is the truth behind my 100+ pound natural weight loss in my 40s * You are waiting for your aha moment to arrive before you truly begin * You have started and stopped your weight loss and health transformation so many times you wonder if something is wrong with you * You feel motivated by fear but wonder if that is enough to sustain real change * You want to understand what actually drives a lasting health transformation, not just the initial spark * You have watched someone close to you struggle and felt that quiet, uncomfortable recognition * You're in perimenopause, menopause or post-menopause and wanting to transform your health RESOURCES: 🥗 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Sugar Decoder Guide - Stop letting sugar derail your progress, but also be able to enjoy sweet things in life on your own terms! ⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://fabfitfortyplus.com/free-sugar-decoder-guide] ☀️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I’m working on a new tool to help women manage their cravings with confidence!

You Are Not Behind: You're Right On Time! Why It Is Never Too Late To Transform Your Health In Midlife - Why The Women Who Struggle With Their Health The Longest Make The Most Powerful Transformations

Have you ever looked at someone else's transformation and felt that quiet, crushing sense that everyone else figured this out years ago — and you are still at square one? This episode is for you! I recently received a message from a woman, I will call her Emily, who said she had been trying to lose weight since her 20s. Nearly thirty years. And she was wondering if it was simply too late. If she had left it too long. If there was even any point. I want to spend this entire episode on that feeling. Not dismissing it. Not bypassing it with a quick inspirational quote. But really pulling it apart — and then dismantling it completely. You are not behind. You are exactly where you need to be. And this episode will show you why. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: * Why the comparison trap is lying to you — and what before and after photos actually leave out * The myth of "the right time" and what it cost me personally * Why starting over is not failure — it is data * The tortoise, the hare, and the race you are actually running * Why being in midlife is not a disadvantage — it might be your greatest asset * Three specific, practical things to do this week to start moving forward today THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: * You feel like everyone else figured this out and you are still at square one * You have started over so many times you have lost count and carry shame about it * You are waiting for the right time (the quieter season, the less hectic stretch) before you really begin * You compare your messy, complicated reality to other people's highlight reels and always come up short * You wonder, honestly, if it is just "too late" RESOURCES: 🥗 ⁠⁠⁠Sugar Decoder Guide - Stop letting sugar derail your progress, but also be able to enjoy sweet things in life on your own terms! ⁠⁠⁠ [https://fabfitfortyplus.com/free-sugar-decoder-guide] ☀️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I’m working on a new tool to help women manage their cravings with confidence!

I Tracked Calories For Years And Still Gained Weight. Here's Why! Part 1 of 3 - Why Calorie counting and calorie restriction is the wrong approach for weight loss for women in midlife

Millions of people are using just one calorie tracking app right now. And yet obesity rates keep rising. And so many of us (me included for decades) are still struggling... So what is actually going on? In Part 1 of this three-part series, I make the case for why calorie counting and calorie tracking is not just ineffective for most women in midlife, but it is actively working against your weight loss goals, the health transformation you're working towards, your relationship with food, and your mental health. I was one of those millions of people counting calories. I tracked calories for years. And still gained and lost the same weight over and over again. Until I stopped counting and started choosing. And lost over 100 pounds. Naturally. Without tracking a single calorie. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: * What a calorie actually is and where it came from — the answer might surprise you * Why the number on your food packet can legally be wrong by up to 20% * The food matrix: why your body absorbs fewer calories from whole foods than the label says * Why 100 calories of chicken and 100 calories of sugar are not the same thing in your body (it's more nuanced than you think!) * The landmark study that showed identical calories of ultra-processed versus whole food produced completely different weight outcomes * The real mental and emotional cost of calorie tracking nobody talks about honestly THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: * You have tracked calories and done everything right — and still not seen lasting results * You feel anxious, obsessive, or exhausted by the constant mental arithmetic around food * You suspect there is a better way but do not know what it looks like * You are a woman in your 40s or 50s or beyond navigating perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause * You want the science behind why calorie counting fails — explained in plain honest language Part 2 covers the calories-out side, and it is even more surprising. Part 3 brings the whole picture together and gives you strategies on what to do instead! Make sure you are subscribed so you do not miss it.

Reconnecting to Your Inner Rebel: Why Losing Weight on Your Own Terms Is the Only Approach That Actually Lasts For a True Sustainable Health Transformation for Women in Midlife

Do you remember the teenage rebel version of yourself? The one who questioned everything. Who pushed back againstrules that didn't make sense. Who refused to just go along with things because everyone else was. The one who, somewhere along the way, went quiet. What if I told you that reconnecting with that version of yourself — your inner rebel, your questioning, defiant, nobody-tells-me-what-to-do self — is the single most powerful thing you can do for your health transformation? In today's episode I am making the case for something the entire diet and wellness industry is built to prevent you from understanding. That following other people's rules — howeverexpert they are, however well-designed the program, however impressive the before and after photos — is not just ineffective long-term. It is actively eroding the confidence, agency, and self-trust that are the only real foundations of lasting change. This is the episode that underpins my Standards Over Rules framework that I created from my own lived experience of losing over 100 pounds in my mid-40s. And it might just change everything about how you think about your health journey. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: * Why the inner rebel who has always eventually quit every program you've followed was not weakness — she was wisdom protecting you from approaches that were never going to last * The seduction of the quick fix — why smart, experienced women keep handing their power over to rigid external programs * The profound difference between a rule and a standard — and why that distinction is the entire difference between short-term results and permanent transformation * The confidence compounding effect — how every standard you keep builds your identity, and why identity is the only thing that makes change permanent * The five questions your inner rebel deserves to ask! * What it actually feels like to live by your own standards versus follow someone else's rules THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: * You have tried program after program and always eventually gone back to where you started * You feel like there is a part of you that always eventually rebels against any health program you commit to * You are in midlife and you refuse to keep doing things the way you've been doing them * You want a health transformation that is genuinely, permanently yours RESOURCES: 🥗 ⁠Sugar Decoder Guide - Stop letting sugar derail your progress, but also be able to enjoy sweet things in life on your own terms! ⁠ [https://fabfitfortyplus.com/free-sugar-decoder-guide] ☀️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I’m working on a new tool to help women manage their cravings with confidence!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
