Hi all, After week 1 I am down (-8.2) pounds. I’m super excited because I’ve had a ton of stressors going on this week, the meal prep really helped because I was able to grab and go. I also used large water cups/containers 20-32 oz so I could easily track how much water I was drinking. There were a few days that I didn’t get in enough water but was able to still have a loss. As Dory would say, “Just keep swimming” I’m excited about my first week’s loss and can’t wait to see how this week goes.

We had a powerful LIVE training yesterday inside Fit Over 40. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right… But the scale randomly jumps up the next day; this is something you’ll want to understand. Here’s what we walked through: • Oils and lotions can create an occlusive layer on the skin• This traps heat and moisture, altering normal skin function• The body can respond with localized inflammation and fluid retention• That can show up as temporary weight increases (not fat gain)• Over time, repeated inflammation can slow consistent progress When you remove these inputs, the body often: • Regulates fluid balance more efficiently • Lowers unnecessary inflammatory signals • Creates a more stable environment for fat loss So how do you hydrate your skin???? We also had a member join us and share some low / no-oil product options that support your results instead of working against them. If you missed it, watch the replay below 👇This is one of those small shifts that can create very real, visible changes.

I can’t believe it but I lost 2 pounds! I at steak and veggies and really thought the steak was going to potential hinder my potential loss as it seemed to have a little more fat on it, but it didn’t!

Good morning Quick check-in… how are you feeling today? We’ve got a live training today (Tuesday) at 11am MST, and this is one that really helps people connect the dots. We’re breaking down how what you put on your skin, things like lotions, oils, sunscreen, can influence what you see on the scale. Not because it’s turning into fat, but because your skin is a major signaling organ. When certain products are applied, the body can respond by holding onto fluid and increasing inflammation… which can show up as a quick weight fluctuation. This is why someone can be doing everything right with food, then see the scale jump after something small like sunscreen. Once you understand this, it takes away the confusion and helps you trust your progress instead of second-guessing it. We’ll walk through it simply and share what’s been working best for clients during and after the 40 days. Join live if you can and bring your questions. If not, I’ll post the replay. Small adjustments like this can create big shifts.

Today was day 67 and I lost 2.2 lbs!! Truly grateful that I’m continually learning how to support my body.
