Fat Loss 101 for Women 35+: How to Maximise March, Build Momentum & Stop Overthinking
In this episode of The Nicola Graham Podcast, I talk to women who feel like their bodies are changing and what used to work no longer does, especially through our forties. I share two insights from Brianna Wiest’s book 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think on catastrophising and being yourself, then lay out a practical “Fat Loss 101” blueprint for maximising March.
I cover getting honest about what you really want, why maintenance still requires work as we age, and why nutrition drives fat loss through a calorie deficit (often by getting smarter, not harsher). Explaining about having less “wiggle room” when you’re petite, the need to shed old habits, prioritise daily movement and three 30‑minute workouts, use structure for freedom, communicate goals at home, and stop letting one meal out derail the bigger plan, with support available via the free Thriving Women Community and group coaching.
