Menopause Weight Loss Commitment
Once you hit 40 and your hormones start to go haywire, dropping those pounds feels like trying to climb Mount Everest, and hello, menopause belly! What used to work back in the day? Yeah, forget about it now.
The overwhelm and panic? Totally real. You’re convinced that if you keep doing what you’re doing, that scale’s gonna keep creeping up while your health takes a nosedive, and likely will.
So, here’s a sneak peek into why it happens.
First off, your metabolism decides to go on vacation – it’s like, ‘See ya!’ Then there’s those pesky hormones doing the cha-cha in your body, making it impossible to predict how anything’s gonna go down. And let’s not forget about those late-night cravings that hit you like a freight train. So yeah, weight loss during menopause? Actually, yes, there’s hope.
Follow the steps in the Menopause Weight Loss Commitment and promise yourself 30 days. See it as an adventure.
30 Days is enough time to determine if it’s sustainable and, well, if it works. If you see a pound or two gone and you feel great, you may be onto something. Weight loss is a journey, just like menopause. Losing weight should never be a sprint; it’s a marathon.
Now make today the day.
Let’s Get Started
Step 1. Look at your current diet and list the pros and cons.
If you believe it isn’t working, you likely think there are no pros, but that isn’t always true. Do you get to eat some of your favorite foods, or are the meals easy to prepare?
What are the cons beyond the obvious? Do you need more energy to exercise or stay awake during meditation? Are you always hungry? Do you spend every waking moment anticipating your next meal, or is your current diet so dull that you dread it and want to call Grubhub?
Step 2. Find a new plan to experiment with.
Check out my Top 25 Diet Plans. Pick a few you think might be your Holy Grail and make a pros and cons list, as you did with your current diet.
Schedule an appointment with your doctor. If you’ve seen your doctor recently for a physical and blood work, you can likely schedule a Teladoc appointment to discuss the plans you want to try without another in-person visit.
If you’re digging in because you don’t want to “diet,” crowding out will show you how to change your plate over time without feeling deprived or giving up your favorite foods.
Step 3. Download the supporting PDF documents for your commitment.
You’ll find your Weight Loss Commitment Tracker, which includes a meal planner, grocery list, weight tracker, and journal for you to complete each week.
You’ll also find a mood tracker. Mood trackers help you see correlations connected to events, time of the day, or, umm, your hormones. Using your mood tracker with your journal may reveal a few exciting things about what’s happening at this point in your menopause transition.
Lastly, download your weekly workout routine planner if you plan to incorporate exercise into your 30-day plan.
It’s never too late to start.
If weight loss feels harder now, that doesn’t mean it’s over—it means it’s time for a smarter approach. Menopause is not a stopping point; it’s a season to decide what matters and to take action on your health goals.
