In this episode we dive into the exact plan I used to lose 50 lbs in my 40s—after hitting “goal weight” and still hating the photo. You’ll hear how I broke the skinny-fat cycle by rebuilding my metabolism (not starving it), eating more (yes, carbs), lifting heavy with progressive overload, and working with perimenopause hormones instead of fighting them. I’ll walk you through the simple systems that made it doable as a busy mom—protein targets, Sunday meal-prep, and strength training that actually sculpts. You’ll also learn the framework behind my Hourglass Body Method—Restore → Lean Out → Sustain—so you know which phase you’re in and what to do next. If you’re over 40 and stuck at “goal weight but not goal body,” this is your blueprint to strong, toned, and confident. Press play. 💪
