Here’s the truth: the scale is a lagging, noisy signal. If you’re following the right plan, your body can’t help but make progress—you just need better ways to measure it. And if you want a plan that guarantees those wins show up in your clothes, energy, strength, and labs, that’s exactly what our Fit Mother Program program delivers.

Promise: In this article I'm going to share with you how to stop letting the scale derail your mindset, how to start tracking what actually matters, and the 7 fundamentals that will ensure you continue to make progress.

First: When Weight Loss Stalls, Shift the Goal

For example: if you’re 170 lbs aiming for 150, ask: What do I actually want?
More energy? Confidence? Clothes that fit right? Keeping up with your super active kids? Those outcomes keep you motivated when the number wobbles.

Numbers are just numbers and unless there is some significant emotional reason you’re tied to them, it’s sort of arbitrary. Meaning, if you want to lose 20 pounds just for sake of losing it, it may not be motivating enough to keep you on track when things get hard.

Instead, ask yourself these questions:

• How do I feel and how’s my energy?
• Do my clothes fit better?
• Do I feel more confident and attractive?
• Are others noticing?
• Am I happier with what I see in the mirror?

Why Most People Stall (and How Our Members Don’t)

• Daily weight swings (salt, sleep, hormones, training) can mask fat loss for weeks.
• Body recomp is real—gain muscle while losing fat and the scale barely moves.
• Random workouts + guesswork nutrition = inconsistent results and motivation drop-off.

Foundations removes the guesswork: simple meal templates, progressive workouts, accountability, and weekly check-ins so you see and feel progress—even when the scale lags.

Why the Scale Messes With Your Head

Your weight is constantly shifting. A salty meal, a hard workout, poor sleep, or even the time of day can swing the number by several pounds. That’s normal—but it can feel discouraging when you’re putting in the work and the scale isn’t cooperating.

Here’s another kicker: if you’ve started strength training (which is one of the best things you can do as a woman in your 40s), you might actually gain muscle while losing fat. The scale doesn’t know the difference—it just adds up the total. That means you could be transforming your body in all the right ways while the scale says “stuck.”

So if the scale isn’t reliable, what should you track instead?

7 Better Ways to Measure Real Progress

1. The Clothes Test (Simple + Honest)

You may not notice small daily changes in the mirror, but your clothes won’t lie. That notch you tighten on your belt, the way your shirt feels looser around the stomach, or jeans that fit better than they did a month ago—those are big wins. Unlike the scale, your wardrobe gives you feedback you can feel every day.

Pro tip: Keep one “benchmark” piece of clothing—like a pair of jeans or a fitted blouse—and try it on every couple of weeks. It’ll tell you more than the scale ever will.

2. Progress Photos Are Gold (Measure Every 4-6 Weeks)

Nobody loves taking them, but progress photos are one of the most powerful tools you’ve got. Take front, side, and back pictures every 4–6 weeks. Don’t rely on daily mirror checks—the changes are too subtle. But when you compare photos month to month, the difference becomes crystal clear.

Some progress photos, like the ones below from a few of our Fit Mother Program members, can be highly motivating and keep you laser focused as you continue to make improvements.

Think of it like watching your kids grow. You don’t notice the day-to-day changes, but when you look back at last year’s school photo, it’s obvious how much they’ve grown. Your body works the same way.

3. Strength & Performance (Capability = Confidence)

Here’s something the scale will never tell you: how strong you’ve become. At 40 and beyond, strength isn’t just about vanity—it’s about staying capable and independent for decades to come.

Ask yourself:

• Can you do more push-ups or squats than last month?
• Are you running farther without feeling like your lungs are on fire?
• Have you moved up to heavier weights at the gym? (yes, this is important for women too)

These improvements are massive markers of progress. And the cool part? They spill over into everyday life—carrying groceries, keeping up with your kids, or even tackling yard work without throwing out your back.

4. Energy & Mood (The Underrated Wins)

Forget being super lean for a second. Real progress shows up in your day-to-day energy. Do you have more stamina to keep up with your kids? Are you less wiped out after a long day at work?

Energy is one of the most underrated signs that your fitness and nutrition are paying off. When you feel good in your own skin and have the juice to live your life fully, that’s a win no scale can measure.

5. Health Markers That Matter (The Grown-Up Scoreboard)

Here’s the grown-up side of progress: your health stats. Blood pressure, cholesterol, resting heart rate, and blood sugar levels—all of these are influenced by your fitness habits. Improving those numbers doesn’t just make you “look” better; it sets you up for a longer, healthier life.

When you go for your next physical, compare your results with your last one. A lower blood pressure reading or improved cholesterol profile is progress that will keep you around for your family longer—and that’s the ultimate goal.

6. Sleep & Mood Upgrades (The Underrated Wins)

One of the first “hidden” benefits of consistent exercise and better nutrition is improved sleep and mood. If you’re falling asleep faster, waking up more refreshed, or finding yourself less irritable, that’s not a coincidence.

Better sleep and emotional stability are game-changers for moms. It means you show up more patient, more present, and more resilient for your family. Again, nothing the scale can capture—but it matters big-time.

7. Body Fat Percentage (Use Consistent Methods)

This is one of those markers that can tell you a lot, but only if done correctly and consistently. Sometimes we may lose body fat while increasing lean muscle and the numbers on the scale may be disheartening, so knowing your body fat percentage can be a huge boost.

If you track body fat, pick one method and be consistent:

• Best: DEXA (periodically), BodPod, or a reliable multi-frequency BIA scale.
• Cost-effective: Skilled caliper testing at your gym. Use the same technician, sites, and protocol each time. Trends > single readings.

The Fit Mother Fundamentals (Do These and You Win)

Making progress on and off the scale is simple (but not easy) and is exactly what we teach inside our Fit Mother Program.

• Eat a high-quality diet 80%+ of the time.
• If fat loss is the goal: maintain a modest calorie deficit consistently.
• Hit 0.7 + protein per lb bodyweight daily.
• Progressive strength training 3–4x/week.
• Conditioning/cardio 1–3x/week.
• Sleep 7–9 hours and manage stress.
• Move more, sit less.
• Be ruthlessly consistent—weeks and months, not days.

The Mom Mindset Shift; Use The Scale as a Tool, Not a Judge

Using the scale isn't inherently bad, but relying on it too much or obsessing over every lost and gained pound will drive you (and your family) crazy! Instead, weigh yourself once weekly or track a 7-day rolling average if you must—but always read it alongside your clothes, photos, measurements, performance, energy, and health markers.

Being fit in your 40s+ isn’t about chasing a number—it’s about being the strongest, healthiest version of yourself for the people you love and the life you want to live.

Quick-Start Checklist (Do These This Week)

1. Clothes Test: Pick a benchmark blouse/jeans. Note the fit. Recheck in 2–3 weeks.
2. Photos: Take front/side/back today. Repeat in 4–6 weeks.
3. Strength Log: Record one lift (e.g., goblet squat, plank). Beat it next week.
4. Waist Measure: Measure at the navel once per week. Track the trend.
5. Energy & Sleep: Note daily energy (1–10) and mornings you wake refreshed. Aim to improve your weekly averages.

Bottom line: Trust the fundamentals. Track what matters. Let your life—not your scale—tell you you’re winning.

Steve Roy

Trainer, Fit Mother Project

Steve is a single father to two amazing daughters, has been involved in the fitness industry for more than 28 years, and joined the Fit Father/Fit Mother Project team in 2023.

Growing up as the prototypical “98-pound weakling”, my goal from an early age was to get bigger and stronger.

This process ignited my passion for health and fitness and I got my first personal training certification in 1997 and started working for a local gym. I spent the next 10 years traveling the country, working in gyms, health clubs, resorts, and hotels trying to be the best trainer and coach I could be and learning from some great mentors.

It's been an amazing journey and at 54 years old, I feel better than I did 20 years ago and it all comes down to making fitness a priority. This is a principle I live by and teach every single day.

*Please know that weight loss results and health changes/improvements vary individually; you may not achieve similar results. Always consult with your doctor before making health decisions. This is not medical advice – simply very well-researched information on building muscle, nutrition, and sustainable fitness habits.

The post How to Measure Your Progress Without Obsessing Over the Scale appeared first on The Fit Mother Project - Weight Loss For Busy Moms 40+.

Tami shares:

“It's not always easy but oh my is it worth it! I have been able to retrain my mind and my body and I love it. I'm 42 and in the best shape of my life.”

Tami learned that she could do things she never thought she could do! Not too long ago, she ran a Spartan Race 😮. Even though she trained and prepared, she still doubted herself all the way up to the starting line, and then wanted to cry with pride when she crossed that finish line!

“I did it!! 19 months after starting my Fit Mother journey, I completed a Spartan Race. It's amazing when I think of what I can do today that I couldn’t do last week – last month – or last year!”

Tami's Advice – Just Do It

• Embrace the pain, the sweat and tears.
• Embrace the ups the downs, feeling uncomfortable and the change.
• Don't give any time or space in your head for excuses.
• When it's time to lift weights or run – you go. Period.
• Lean all the way in and I promise the victories you are going to experience are SO worth it!!

Tami listened to a reel not too long ago where she heard that to be successful – you have to just wake up in the morning and go for your goal that day. Don’t give any time or space in your head for excuses. When it's time to work out – you do it. She spent the last few months working on this and the results are amazing.

“I’ve conquered a lot of mental blocks and smashed a lot of excuses I thought I couldn’t
get over.”

Now Tami is 42 and in the best shape of her life. She's excited & stronger than ever both mentally and physically. She went all in on Fit Mother 30X 💯.

“Set those goals ladies!! You are capable of SO much more than you ever thought!”

In this episode, you’ll meet Robin, a 50-year-old mother of two and the winner of our 2021 Transformation Contest.

In early 2020, Robin lost her brother, who had just turned 50, to heart disease.

As the year rolled on and she was nearing her own 50th birthday, Robin knew she needed to change. 

She had a family and a career. She didn’t want to die of heart disease like her brother. 

She needed to need to snap out of her unhealthy spiral.

She found the Fit Mother Project on YouTube, signed up for the Fit Mom Jumpstart, and she hasn’t looked back since!

In this episode you’ll learn: 

• How Robin’s health journey started in the kitchen.
• How to dial in on your own nutritional needs.
• How to have a health regimen and structure that’s not ‘boring.’
• Why it’s OK for moms to focus on themselves and put their health first.
• How to lead your family by example. 
• How to stay focused and motivated.

That doesn't mean resolving to eat more ice cream, it means setting goals you know you can keep!

Setting achievable goals is the best way to feel a sense of accomplishment and stay on track with your health and fitness goals.

By setting easy resolutions and tracking the little things, you can really make a difference in meeting your overall goals.

No resolution is too small! Start little to ensure you maintain each goal all year long!

The easy resolutions that are right for you depend on your lifestyle, health, and overall wellness.

Take into account your schedule, food and exercise preferences, and mental ability to stay on track and meet targets.

Don't set expectations that are dramatically different from your usual lifestyle and choose goals you feel excited about!

Here's how to set easy resolutions that will lead to positive changes.

Learn the key behind the motivation to work out and how to sustain your diet and exercise plans. 

15 Easy Resolutions for the New Year

When deciding which targets to set this year, use the following easy resolutions as a guide!

1. Work Out at Least 4 Days a Week

You don't have to exercise every single day. An easy new year's resolution is to exercise at least four days of each week.

Keep track of the days you complete a planned exercise, such as jogging, cycling, stair climbing, using an elliptical machine, or lifting weights.

Use an exercise journal so you don't forget which days you've exercised!

2. Exercise at Least 20 Minutes Most Days

Exercising for at least 20 minutes most days of the week is an easy resolution that many parents find ways to fit into busy schedules.

If you have the time, work out more than 20 minutes per day.

However, if your schedule doesn't allow for longer workouts, 20 minutes is often plenty of time to achieve health, fitness, and body weight goals.

3. Walk Every Day, Especially After Meals

On non-workout days, or even on days you complete a planned exercise, schedule in time to take walks — even if it's just 10 minutes here and there or walking your dog every day.

Doing so keeps your body moving, can give you a boost of energy, and keeps your metabolism going strong.

If weight loss is your goal, studies show that walking briskly for 30 minutes soon after mealtime enhances weight loss.

If you have a desk job, take periodic walking or stair-climbing breaks every opportunity you get to reduce the number of hours daily you spend sitting down.

4. Eat 3 Servings of Vegetables Daily

Many people don't consume the amounts of vegetables needed to meet daily vitamin, mineral, and fiber needs.

Consuming a wide array of vegetables on a daily basis helps you manage a healthy weight, keep cholesterol levels in check, and reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions.

Aim to fill half of each plate of food with vegetables during meals.

Even during breakfast, add vegetables to your plate, drink vegetable juice, or add veggie powder to protein shakes.

Sneak vegetables into omelets or scrambled eggs whenever possible.

If you're unable to eat veggies for breakfast, add an extra vegetable portion to lunch, dinner, or between-meal snacks to ensure you consume at least 3 vegetable servings daily.

5. Drink 12 Cups of Fluids

To maintain exceptional health, women should aim for at least 12 cups of fluids, particularly water, each day.

Other healthy drinks that count toward daily fluid goals include milk, plant milk, plain kefir, 100% fruit juice, coffee, tea, and vegetable juice.

If your new year's resolution is weight loss, drink about 2 cups of water before meals to help you feel full with fewer calories.

Keep track of your fluid intake throughout the day by drinking out of water bottles that hold known amounts.

As a frame of reference, one cup of fluid equals 8 fluid ounces.

6. Lose 1-2 Pounds per Week

If your new year's resolution is weight loss, make your weight-loss goal attainable and a number you can maintain for a lifetime.

Losing 1-2 pounds per week is a safe rate of weight loss that boosts your chance of keeping lost weight off long-term.

In comparison, losing weight rapidly puts you at risk of weight regain.

Step on the scale each day to ensure you meet daily and weekly weight goals.

Let the Fit Mother Project 30X (FM30X) weight loss program guide you!

7. Do at Least 2 House Chores Daily

If you don't keep up with house chores on a daily basis, they can quickly build up over time and become overwhelming.

Easy resolutions often involve house chores or organizational strategies that help you keep your home in order.

Chores are also calorie burners, which can make healthy weight management easier.

Consider doing at least two chores each day, such as doing the dishes, folding laundry, grocery shopping, doing yard work, washing your windows, washing your car, vacuuming, dusting, or cleaning the floors.

Cooking counts too and is an excellent way to keep your body moving!

Add chores to your resolution list based on your household needs.

8. Weigh Yourself Every Day

Weighing yourself daily is an easy resolution that's simple to complete this new year.

Studies show that daily weigh-ins are highly effective for weight loss and adopting healthy habits.

They also reduce your risk of unplanned weight gain.

Step on the scale at the same time each day to get the most accurate results!

Find out how to track your weight loss in the most effective ways!

9. Eat Protein Foods During Every Meal

Knowing which nutritious foods are rich in protein helps you achieve the easy resolution of consuming protein at each meal. Why is this a good idea?

Consuming protein frequently throughout the day helps you maintain lean muscle mass, minimize body fat, and achieve healthy body weight.

It enhances your metabolism, boosts satiety, and keeps your hair, skin, and nails healthy.

Pick some of the following healthy foods to ensure you consume plenty of protein at each meal: chicken, turkey, duck, very lean red meat, eggs, fish, and seafood, as well as nuts, seeds, legumes, tofu, or seitan.

Milk, plant milk, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, plain kefir, and reduced-fat cheese are also excellent protein-rich options.

Low-sugar protein shakes and bars count too!

10. Eat Fiber-Rich Foods at Each Meal

Like protein-rich foods, foods high in fiber offer a variety of wellness benefits.

Examples include healthy weight management and a low risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.

An easy resolution is to consume high-fiber foods during breakfast, lunch, dinner, and when eating snacks if possible!

Pick fruits, vegetables, whole grains (quinoa, wild rice, brown rice, whole-grain pasta, whole-grain bread, oatmeal, etc.), avocados, nuts, seeds, and legumes.

Examples of legumes include lentils, peas, black beans, pinto beans, and other dried beans.

11. Schedule Time for Relaxation

Relaxation doesn't come easy, especially for many busy parents.

But scheduling time to relax is one of the best things you can do for your body to keep stress levels low and reduce the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and other chronic diseases.

An easy resolution to keep this year is to set aside at least 15 minutes of relaxation time every day.

During this time, you might choose a cat nap, reading, getting caught up with current events, meditation, getting a massage, or doing yoga.

Get your body into a relaxing position, take deep breaths, don't think about stressful thoughts, and allow yourself to unwind.

12. Sleep at Least 7 Hours Each Night

Studies show that sleeping soundly for at least 7 hours each night reduces the risk of adverse health outcomes, such as obesity, weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, depression, and all-cause deaths.

An easy resolution is to sleep at least 7 hours every night or most nights of each week.

Keep a sleep journal to ensure you get the amount of rest needed to maintain exceptional health and wellness.

To maximize sleep quality, sleep in a cool dark room, set a regular bedtime, and avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed.

Try this simple technique to fall asleep and relax your mind before bed!

13. Take Vitamins

Make it a new year's resolution this season to take a multivitamin or other vitamin supplement as directed by your doctor every day.

Doing so can improve your overall health, boost energy levels, and lower your risk of nutritional deficiencies and chronic diseases.

Ask your doctor about taking additional dietary supplements, such as joint health or heart support supplements, omega-3 supplements, probiotics, protein supplements, or other supplements that meet your individualized needs.

14. Take Care of Your Skin

Taking good care of your skin enhances its appearance and reduces the risk of dry skin, aging skin, acne, and other common skin issues.

Things you can do to improve the health of your skin include cleaning it often, keeping it moisturized, using sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun, and consuming the vitamins and minerals needed to give your skin a healthy glow.

Wash your face at least twice daily using water and a facial cleanser.

15. Work Out Your Abs Daily

While it's usually best to avoid working the same muscle groups day after day, abdominal muscles are an exception.

You can do ab exercises every day of the week, or most days of the week if you prefer.

Change up your ab routine often to reap the most benefit from regular ab workouts.

Do combinations of plank jacks, side planks, other oblique exercises, shoulder-touch planks, mountain climbers, sit-ups, crunches, leg raises, and other favorite ab exercises to keep your midsection slim and toned.

When winter sets in, it gets dark earlier and the temperature drops.

And for those in areas where things get really cold, wintertime is when a lot of people get into trouble with their health.

They're often less active. They're not outside as much. They're eating more sugary foods.

But, these are symptoms, not the root cause. 

It's a symptom of people not being able to adapt their health routines to the new changes and pressures of a colder climate in a darker environment. 

But you can adapt your health routine to deal with any kind of weather!

In this episode you’ll learn: 

• How to establish a personal health routine.
• How to adjust that routine as your environment changes.
• Why you need to focus on sleep, movement, and nutrition — and how to do it.
• The importance of vitamin D and how to get more of it.
• How to navigate the holiday season.
• And so much more!

The post Adapting to Weather: Episode 5 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast appeared first on The Fit Mother Project - Weight Loss For Busy Moms 40+.

In this episode, you’ll meet Megan, a 38-year-old mother of four who, after a lifetime of bad eating habits and having four babies, found herself not where she wanted to be health and fitness-wise. 

Like many women, she tried losing weight different times, but nothing seemed to stick or truly work for her.

Depression lead to overeating and the negative cycle continued.

After her husband saw incredible results in a short amount of time on the Fit Father Project, she decided to give the Fit Mother Project a try.

When she wrote her mission statement, something just clicked, and she was off and running!

In this episode you’ll learn: 

• How Megan and her husband teamed up and supported each other’s weight loss journeys.
• How they fit meal prepping and exercising into their busy family schedule. 
• How her grocery list — and tastes — completely changed.
• How she faced depression head-on and overcame turning to comfort foods and overeating. 
• How her biggest and most important transformation happened within herself and within her own mind.
• And so much more!
