The Get Your GOAL Podcast

Of course you want to be done dieting because who wants all that restriction and anxiety? But you’re also pretty sure you have to diet to lose weight after menopause. Thankfully, you don’t have to feel like you’re on a diet at all. So today, I’m sharing exactly WHY and HOW I stopped dieting, while I was losing weight for the last time in my 50s.

Feeling like you’re on a diet is optional, and the truth of it is that you’re far more likely to be successful at losing weight and maintaining it for life when what you feel is amazing.

So, today I’m sharing four ways I used to feel like I was on a diet and exactly what I did to stop dieting and start loving, trusting, understanding, and believing in myself instead.

Are you ready to set yourself free from the worry, frustration, judgment and restriction of dieting? I’ve got you covered. Tune in and let’s go.

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. On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m diving into the top five weight loss mindset blocks to show you exactly how they’re stopping you and what you can do about it.

When you have blind spots (aka, mindset blocks), you are constantly slowing yourself down. But knowledge is power, my friend, and self knowledge – self awareness – is the greatest power of all. When you intentionally see yourself clearly, honestly, and without judgment, you are unstoppable.

So, let’s find those mindset blocks and bust through them!

Listen now to learn:

In this episode I’m sharing the Top 5 Weight Loss Mindset Blocks I’ve helped women around the world bust through while they were losing weight with The 5-0 Method. Do YOU have the same blocks?

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!

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, musttake 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.

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.

You can’t reallylose 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.

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.

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 IN

Being 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.

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 couldrock a bikini.

Ugh! But maybe you should just get over it and accept that this is yourmenopausal 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.

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.

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.

Weight loss is actually pretty straightforward. You have a routine, and you stick to your routine. And it all goes just fine… as long as you’re in your routine. But when you go out to eat, or somebody brings donuts to work, or there’s a wedding or a new baby or a birthday to celebrate – I mean, how can you stay on track for weight loss when you’re out of your routine? We’re getting into it today, love, and I’m going to show you exactly how.

First and foremost, I offer you this: you’re always on track for weight loss. Every part of your journey – even the twists and turns and long stretches of not feeling like you’re losing weight – is getting you to your goal.

And.

I also have some really practical mindset advice around making decisions about what “on track” looks like for you, and how to have your own back to stick with it.

Imagine feeling confident about your choices no matter where you go, or who you’re eating with, or what’s being served. And picture how fast you’ll get to your goal when you get off the “on track-off track” merry-go-round, and stay focused.

It’s available to you, and this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will show you how.

Timestamps:

04:22 Weight loss mindset: rules, self-manipulation, individuality.

11:21 Create flexible routines by setting and meeting parameters.

19:04 Embrace change, trust the process, visualize success.

27:39 Take control of your life and choices.

32:09 Imagine relaxed future, maintenance after weight loss journey.

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.

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 andpermanent.

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.

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 finishesin your body. It startsin 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.

Ever since menopause came crashing into your life, nothing seems to work for weight loss anymore. You’ve tried eating less, moving more, and even that “three-day detox” nonsense. But have you tried changing your mind?

Losing weight is actually pretty simple, and it always comes down to two things. Number one, believing that you can, and number two, eating in a slight caloric deficit over time.

My zone of genius is helping you with the belief piece.

In my 20s, 30s, and 40s, I gained and lost weight half a dozen times. But in my 50s, I lost weight for the last time by changing how I thinkabout myself, my body, and menopause.

I'm your host, Pahla B, and I created this podcast to share what I know about weight loss mindset, so you can break free from your diet mentality, learn to trust and love yourself and your body unconditionally, and finally live the delicious life you deserve.

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!

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!”

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!

How much sleep do you *really* need for weight loss? And what if you’re awake in the night with racing thoughts? In this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’ve got the scoop on all things SLEEP and how it impacts your weight loss journey. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and enjoy!

In today's episode, I've got something really special planned for us. I've been going through the archives and found some old Q&A episodes that I just had to bring back. 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. Until next time, happy sleeping!

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.

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.

SIX 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.

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

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.

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!

You’ve really got this calorie counting thing down pat when it comes to simple foods or eating in restaurants that list their calories. But what about when you cook at home? How do you figure out the calories in your favorite dishes when you’re just throwing things together? 

In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’ll show you how to count the calories in your homemade meals with a simple, step-by-step process.

Imagine never being afraid of going out to eat, or going to a friend’s house, or going on vacation, ever again. Picture yourself confidently portioning out every meal, every time, to fit your calorie target without second-guessing yourself.

This can be you because it’s just a skill to count calories, which means that you can learn how.

Right now, your brain is making excuses to stop you from counting all of your calories (which is completely normal, and exactly how your brain is supposed to work). But when you execute this simple process, and practice it regularly, you’ll realize that there are NO calories that you can’t figure out. 

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 
- HOW to calculate the calories for any recipe
- WHY it’s so hard to make yourself do this, and
- HOW to overcome your resistance

Of course you’re creating weight loss habits to lose weight, but did you know that some of the actions you’re taking will help with maintenance, too? In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing the four best weight loss habits you can build today to make maintenance easy.

When it comes to weight loss habits, most of us focus on things like eating in a caloric deficit, or exercising regularly. But there are other habits you can create now that will pay off big maintenance dividends later.

Four Weight Loss Habits That Make Maintenance Easy:
- Planning your meals ahead of time
- Looking at the big picture of your weight
- Complimenting yourself
- Drawing from success in other areas of your life

Losing weight successfully requires you to pay attention and act with intention – and maintenance is more of the same. This episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will show you the way!

You have questions about weight loss over 50, and I have the answers! In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re digging in on calculating your calories, intuitive eating, getting off track, and more.

Losing weight during and after menopause is different, and if you’re like the thousands of women I’ve helped to lose weight, you have questions about what’s changed and what works now. So, let’s dive in!

Lucy: What’s the timeline for seeing results? My body is in early menopause and really not responding to my efforts in the same way as it has in the past.

Lisa: What should you do when you stall? How do you figure out why you’re stalling?

Jeni: I'm curious what you think and know about intuitive eating.

Cathy: How do people successfully count calories (mine is 1670 daily from your 5-0 method) without spending money or taking lots of time?

Erika: How to negotiate calories when having friends over once a week or fortnight. We’re non drinkers. My calories go way over and I get out of routine real quick! Is it portion control and learning to say no that needs addressing?

Meredith: I would really like to understand how to eat at a slight caloric deficit. How do I figure out all the numbers? How do I control portion sizes more effectively?

Many thanks to the lovely Bs who responded to my recent survey with these great questions – I hope the answers are helpful to 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! Your mindset will naturally move toward a healthy balance simply by uncovering and observing what you’re already thinking. And this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will help you make sense of the good and the bad of your weight loss mindset journey.

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. Join me for this week’s episode, and let’s go!

You’re good all day (or all week), but when seven o’clock rolls around, you can’t stop munching. How can you be consistent on nights and weekends, so you can lose all the weight you want? Like THIS.

On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast we're tackling a common struggle – staying consistent with your calories on nights and weekends.

The answer? Lose the weight in a way that’s ultimately sustainable for maintenance.

This means no more restriction, no more “diet mentality,” no more beating yourself up or making excuses. This means loving yourself while you’re losing weight (not just when you get to your goal).

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 
- Why “thinking positively” isn’t the answer (it never is)
- How to find the right balance for YOU
- How journaling gets to the root of the issue
- What self awareness *really* looks (and sounds) like

Today's topic, "Why bother?" is a seemingly rhetorical question you’ve likely asked yourself on your weight loss journey. But in this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re answering it and using the information to move forward!

You’ve faced moments of doubt and frustration on your weight loss journey. But you have the power to overcome them using the Two-Step Tool, and the simple process I’m outlining for you here:

By recognizing and choosing supportive thoughts, you can overcome the "why bother?" mindset and get your weight loss goal.

When you’re plagued with indecision because you fear making a mistake, there’s one clear path forward: make mistakes anyway. This MVP episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will show you how and why making mistakes is the fastest and best way to get your goal.

It can feel pretty overwhelming, for those of you who are new to the podcast, to try and sort through two hundred and ninety-one older episodes. So, occasionally, I’ll be sharing some of the most valuable older episodes, with an introduction like this one, which sets you up for why the message is still relevant and helpful today.

This episode, about making mistakes, has two key takeaways:
-First, that perfectionism slows you down
-And second, that being willing to make mistakes will take you everywhere you want to go

And the best evidence for this argument can be had just by listening to this three-and-a-half year old podcast! You can hear how far I’ve come, and how much clearer my message is, and how much I’ve changed and grown as a podcaster, all because I was willing to make mistakes and not wait until I could put out some perfectly polished podcast. Because if that was the case, we’d all still be waiting!

Whether you think you already know how to lose weight, or think you don’t, I have a powerful mindset shift to share in this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast that will teach you everything you need to know about losing weight!

On the one hand, if you’re telling yourself that you already know how to lose weight, it sounds like a good thing, right? Like, you know about how menopause has changed weight loss, and you understand the science of how eating in a slight caloric deficit over time is the way your body releases weight, and you know the five tasks to do every day. 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.

In both cases, there’s a simple shift you can make RIGHT NOW that will accelerate your results and get you where you want to go.

Everybody wants weight loss to be easy, right? But also, you value hard work and want to be proud of your efforts. 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.

So, on this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re finding the middle ground, evaluating the thoughts we have about easy weight loss and hard work, and managing our mindset to get where we want to go.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 
-Why you don’t REALLY want weight loss to be easy
-Why you don’t REALLY want to work hard, either
-A better way of THINKING about your weight loss journey (that gets results!)

Working with your brain to create a weight loss mindset is all part of getting your GOAL, and this episode of the podcast has actionable steps that can help.

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!

Daily journaling is the most useful tool in your weight loss toolkit. And on this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing my best tips with you, so you can feel like a journaling pro and get the most out of it.

Each day with The 5-0 Method, we do five tasks that make you say, “Oh! I had no idea weight loss at my age could be so simple.” And the number one task is to manage your mindset, by finding your thoughts and deciding if they’re helpful.

So many women are on board with four of the five tasks – because water, sleep, eating, and exercise seem more “weight lossy” than journaling, don’t they? But in my experience, it’s the mindset work that makes the difference between long term success versus those who struggle or give up.

MY FIVE BEST JOURNALING TIPS:
1. Know WHY you’re journaling
2. Keep your journal prompt question simple and direct
3. Start your question with “What do I think about …?”
4. Stick to one topic
5. Quit while you’re ahead

Weighing yourself can feel calm and easy. In this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing the simple process that will change your relationship with the scale.

You’re on board with the idea of how mindset work or journaling *might* be helpful for losing weight. But weighing yourself? It’s hard, it feels terrible, and if you could just throw away your scale, you definitely would.

I hear from clients all the time that they hate to weigh themselves because the daily fluctuations drive them crazy, or they feel like the numbers just mess with their heads. You feel really good about your eating and exercising and water and sleep, but then you get on the scale and your weight is up, or it’s still the same, and all of a sudden it’s like everything you’ve been doing is all for nothing.

If this is you, you’re in the right place. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into the topic of WEIGHING YOURSELF, and I’m sharing exactly how to make peace with the scale once and for all.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 
- WHY weighing yourself feels awful
- HOW your brain sees the number on the scale, and 
- WHAT to do right now to feel better about weighing yourself

The idea of loving your menopausal body sounds so nice. But what are the actual steps? How do you DO that? I’ve got the scoop in this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast!

Loving your menopausal body is a feeling that’s available to you – even if right now you think you hate your body, or it’s betrayed you, or you just don’t understand it anymore. You CAN love your body, and I highly encourage you to do so.

When menopause came knocking at my door, it changed everything I thought I knew about myself. But instead of getting stuck in the anger, frustration, and betrayal of those changes, I decided to change my MIND. 

Join me today as I share the story of my menopause (and grief, and aging) journey, and what it’s meant to my relationship with my body.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 
- How I knew I WASN’T loving myself (I honestly hadn’t realized I wasn’t)
- How MENOPAUSE wasn’t really the problem (of course it was my thoughts!) 
- Why it wasn’t about my WEIGHT or what I can DO, either
- The EXACT STEPS I’ve taken to feel loving toward my body (that you can take, too)

Are you ready to start loving your menopausal body? This week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will show you how!

Your body will only go where your brain goes first. Which means that successful weight loss begins with the belief that you can lose weight.

On a scale of one to ten, how much do you currently believe that you can get to your goal weight? Zero? This could be what’s stopping you from getting your goal.

In this week’s short, sweet and inspirational episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re diving into the concept of BELIEF and why it’s so important in reaching your goal. I’m sharing personal stories of how I overcame my own lack of belief and how you can borrow belief from outside of you, too.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 
- Why belief is the “secret sauce” to getting your goal
- How to cultivate belief in yourself
- Where you can get belief (for free!)

Losing weight with The 5-0 Method means you’re focused on eating the right number of calories every day – because staying in a slight caloric deficit over time is the only scientifically proven way to shed pounds. But WHAT should you eat? Do you need to go low carb, or eat in an 8-hour window, or find low calorie substitutes for your favorite foods?

No, no, and no. In fact, your best bet is to eat the foods you already love, in portion sizes to fit your weight loss calorie target.

But how can that be? Don’t you have to eat healthy for your health? And hasn’t that whole “calories in, calories out” myth been debunked?

Yes and yes. 🙂And also… eating for weight loss is more nuanced than a catchy sound bite can capture. In this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re taking a deep dive into the topic of what to eat for weight loss, while taking the long view of the lasting changes you can make in your life to maintain your weight forever.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 
- The easiest MINDSET HACK to change old habits
- Why healthy eating DOESN’T work for weight loss
- How restricting yourself ALWAYS backfires

Join me for this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast and empower yourself to make simple, sustainable changes that will help you reach your goal weight.

You used to be able to go hiking or running for hours on end, lift super heavy weights, and still have the stamina to live your life. But now that you’re exercising moderately – I mean, twenty-three minutes a day, are you kidding me? – to lose weight, you MUST be losing fitness. Right?

Not right.

My friend, on this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re exploring the science of menopause and aging and how it affects your fitness, chatting about how your body makes exercise adaptations at any age, and easing your fears about losing fitness while you lose weight. I’ve got the facts about your body, and together we’ll manage your mindset!

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 
- Why you’re ALWAYS both gaining *and* losing fitness
- The REAL problem with moderate exercise, and 
- How to STOP sabotaging yourself with worry and lose weight for the last time

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.

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. 

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: 
Why weight gain ISN’T the end of the world
What you’re ACTUALLY afraid of (it’s not the scale!), and
What to DO to guarantee that you won’t be bothered by weight gain ever again

Don’t let the idea of gaining weight stop you from getting to your goal – listen now to move forward with confidence in your weight loss journey.
