Do you feel like you’re always losing the same few pounds, only to gain them back again? Or maybe you wonder why the scale isn’t moving even though you’re “being good.” You’re not alone—and in this FAQ episode, I’m answering some of the most common questions I get about consistency, motivation, and what it really takes to build healthy habits after 40.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
Why you keep losing and regaining the same pounds—and how to finally break the cycle with sustainable habits.
What consistency actually looks like when the scale isn’t moving (and why health is so much more than a number).
How to find motivation when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or stuck in all-or-nothing thinking.
Simple ways to stay consistent with workouts—even on the days you don’t feel like it.
If you’ve been frustrated with stop-and-start progress, this episode will help you shift your mindset, focus on what matters most, and find a healthier rhythm that works for your real life.
