At 51, Audrey Vander Meer shifted from “research mode” to daily action. She started with FMP videos on August 22, 2025, officially joined September 22, and has gone from 270 to 256 lbs. Stacking simple wins, rebuilding mobility, and proving sustainable change at midlife is absolutely possible.
Non-scale victories:

- Walking 10,000 steps a day
- Injury? Just switched motions
- Ordered water on girls night out instead of wine
