I never worried about my weight until I reached my late forties. Then, gradually, things started to change. By the time I reached fifty, much of the excess weight had found a home around my belly. When I decided to take action, I weighed 157 pounds (71 kilos), and wore a US dress size 14 (large). The dietary and lifestyle changes I made initially helped me lose weight, not so much belly fat. What was I missing? I found answers in many places, and diet and lifestyle were key to my success. However, those that helped me lose weight needed to be modified in order to effectively lose belly fat as woman in midlife. Currently, my weight fluctuates between 127 and 130 pounds (57-59 kilos) and I have lost four dress sizes, shifting from 14 to 4. I feel more energetic, hopeful, healthier, peaceful and purposeful than I did 10 years ago. 

I am ready to teach women at midlife and older, about the benefits of embracing a whole body approach to balance so as to make it easier for them to shrink belly fat and keep it off. By doing so, they too can prevent some of the health issues that are often associated with the process of aging, which often comes with weight gain and belly fat. We can age healthfully and gracefully. I will show you how I'm doing it.
