Jessica, please consider reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, reading that book was the best thing I ever did

1: calorie deficit
2: protein increase to keep muscle mass
3: eat enough
4: moving every day, 1 day strength training and some cardio 30-45 minutes
5: hormones (get them balanced)
6: sleep quality
7: stress reduction
8: drinking water
It’s about how you feel rather than how you look. Energy levels, function.

I cut out alcohol 🍷, sugary food 🥘 like deserts, higher protein, more water 💦, walking at lunch break, 3 times a week home fitness workout plus gym with weights. I’m working on losing 10kgs

Boy you are so right! I’m 54 and I will tell you, losing weight at 30 and even 40 was soooo much easier than it is now. And when you do, your body still does not look the same as 10 yrs ago because of the muscle loss. I’ve lost 78lbs since Aug and I’m not sure I’m particularly excited about my less than firm behind or my sagging neck! I do feel better, heading to the gym after work makes me feel better and the food I eat has helped tremendously! But take my advice and get to where you want to be NOW and keep yourself there!! (Weight/fitness, etc). Get to your MD and discuss hormones, your hair, skin, everything will thank you later. Hormones control everything in our bodies!

Thanks for this video. I am going to have my hormones checked. I am a muscular woman turned 41 this year and I am holding on to 7 pounds. I haven’t changed anything except my workout routine and for the past two months I can’t lose the 7 pounds it’s driving me insane. I eat clean and workout and have kept the same routine since 2017. I am at a loss

[run-watch]

Yes, I'm 54 and about 16 months ago I suddenly started gaining weight and for the first time couldn't lose it. 10lbs now. Running is super hard work and does nothing other than tire me out. I joined a gym Feb 2019 and did HIIT and strength 4-5 times a week and my functional fitness really improved. It was great but then the group classes ended due to the virus restrictions. Hopefully they will start back up and I can rejoin in the autumn. I have lost way too much muscle and getting stronger helped me to feel stronger (even with my extra fat layers!)

Thank you for posting this. As a 46 year old who used to run half marathons I have seen a huge change in my body from my mid 30s to mid 40s. I can totally agree that there is a huge change at least for women in those years. And it is hard not to compare to and not to expect my body to do what it used to do. It is really a process and something I deal with everyday but as you mentioned, it is about a balance of nutrition, exercise, stress management, and hormones. And about accepting the changes.

[GamezFamily]

Thanks for the info. I’ve been extremely frustrated because I run 6 miles a day and no weight loss. Very discouraging

[elizabethmckegg]

Thank you for such an inspiring and informative video. I am 72 years old and follow most of your exercise videos for my body. Yes I am carrying a bit more weight than 30 years ago but would like to say you are never too old to keep learning. Thank you

Im 47 and it feels like there is NO room for a single vice. If I eat any bread, or chocolate I pick up weight immediately. Luckily it shifts quickly too - if I live like an absolute monk and exercise daily. It's not easy though.

[EBtubevideo]

I needed this. I have felt SO powerless. I am managing food and exercise well and it is only getting worse.

[marlenegovender]

Hey. Thank-you for this video. It meant alot to me. I turn 40 in a few weeks. I am overweight and exhausted. I feel hopeful that I can change this.

[mariannewalker]

Thank you for this❤️. I was actually doing great going into my 50’s- fitness and eating- then a stressful move and new job created havoc on my body. I retired last year and started taking better care of myself. I found everything you are saying to be true. I’m so thankful that I was able to subscribe to your unlimited program. At 62, I can not do the same rigorous workouts as I used to do. The Pilates and weight workouts have been so helpful. I’ve also found a free fitness app to log my food to watch the nutritional value of my diet is very helpful. It connects with my watch so it also logs the daily workouts and keeps me in check. But as you said-give yourself and your body grace- consider all you and your body has done and accomplished and embrace yourself as you age❤️

[tcampbell]

Thank you, I’m 42 and I was in denial. I used to fast for 72 hours and look amazing. I would eat one salad a day a few years ago. Now I’m wondering why I can’t seem to drop a simple 20lbs! I have to rethink this entire thing. 140lbs - goal weight 120.

[deannarohrer]

I will be 50 in a few months and it seems I am dealing with a new me every few months since I turned 40 . I have also noticed my viewpoint determines rather the changes are going to affect me positively or negatively. I feel like life is a voyage instead of a journey .

[carolynngockel]

12, 000 steps a day and I sleep like a 23 year old. My body has adapted to that level of activity so it probably doesn't burn that many calories, but I don't care.

[crystalgrose]

I’m 44 and I am having a very hard time losing weight. I feel as though I’m all over the place.

1. Household full of junk foods
2. Stress
3. Too tired to exercise
4. Lack of sleep
5. Being vegetarian (may not be getting enough protein)
6. Boredom (causes me to eat unhealthy at times)

UGH 😫

[Ola.Olchow]

I agree with everything :) All of those things are the key to feeling good in and out: Everyday movement, enough of sleep and healthy, nutritious foods. It will make you feel great inside and out. I manage to developed discipline and healthy life style over last few years and I feel good and proud of it.

[shannonmccoy]

Such good advice, and easy to listen to (some are not!) thank you for sharing this!

[Kelly-vcrs]
