[Love Life and Lose Weight] 69: 69: Setting Integrative Weight Goals For 2025

In this episode, I’m encouraging you to set smarter, more effective weight goals for 2025 by focusing on body composition—not just the number on the scale. You’ll learn why traditional weight loss strategies, especially for women over 40, can leave you weaker and less metabolically healthy.  You'll learn how to use a smart scale like InBody to accurately track your changes in body fat and skeletal muscle. you'll also learn why this data is critical for setting realistic, sustainable goals that set you up for long term vibrant health. 

You’ll hear me debunk the myth that you can’t build muscle while losing fat. For those of you who are new to strength training—especially if you’re overweight or have been inactive—this can be a game-changer for you this year. We’ll also dive into how tracking different data on smart scales can be more motivating and enjoyable than chasing a number on an old fashioned scale. 

To make these changes actionable, you'll learn how to create personalized health goals using a smart scale. Plus, I provide practical strategies for how to be successful losing fat and reatining or gaining skeletal muscle mass.

I'm Heather Beardsley

I’m an advanced certified weight and life coach who holds a master’s degree in education. I don’t just talk about weight loss; I work full-time as a coach. More than that, I live the lifestyle. My story is powerful proof that the diet industry is broken, and it can and will break you too, unless you are willing to leave it all behind you. We were sold a lie about weight loss that blames the dieter for a lack of self-control in a system that demonizes food as good or bad. That all can stop for you today, too.
