If You're "Doing Everything Right" But Not Seeing Results...Read This!

Sometimes you think you’re on track… but the scale, progress photos, or how your clothes fit say otherwise. And that can be super frustrating, I get it. We’ve all been there at one point in our lives.

Here’s the thing: it’s usually not about lack of effort. It’s about small things adding up that you don’t even realize are making a difference.

 Here are a few areas that might be throwing things off:

 • Logging food but not double-checking portion sizes or labels

 • Overeating healthy foods because “it’s clean”

 • Underestimating weekend meals or “BLTS (bites, licks, tastes, sips)”

 • Not enough movement outside of workouts and low NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis)

 • Overstressed, poor sleep habits, and your body’s just not responding like it normally would

• You are not tracking through the weekend and its pulling you out of your weekly caloric defecit.

 And let’s not ignore the role hormones, age, and menopause can play.

As we age, our metabolism naturally slows down a bit, and hormonal shifts, especially during perimenopause or menopause, can impact how your body processes food, stores fat, and builds muscle. This doesn’t mean fat loss is impossible, it just means we may need to be a little more strategic, a little more consistent, and a lot more patient.

 A few tips to try this week:

 • Recheck your portions,even just one meal a day

 • Scan the barcode instead of guessing in MFP

 • Add in a 10-minute walk after meals to help digestion and blood sugar

 • Prioritize sleep like it’s part of your plan (because it is)

 • Don’t skip meals then binge later, your body remembers

Bottom line: You’re not broken. You’re not stuck.

You might just need a small adjustment, not a full overhaul.

Progress takes patience, consistency, and a willingness to be real with what’s working and what’s not.

We got this!
