223. How to Lose Fat & Build Healthy Habits Before 2027: A Mid-Year Report Card

Six months of 2026 are behind you, but here's the good news: you still have six months to create incredible change. In this episode of Fat Loss School, we're treating July like a mid-year report card—not to judge yourself, but to assess what's working, make adjustments, and finish the year stronger than ever. If you've been waiting for the "perfect time" to start, this is your reminder that you don't need a new year or even a new month. You just need a fresh decision. Plus, with Independence Day around the corner, it's time to declare your freedom from diet culture and embrace a sustainable approach to fat loss that actually lasts. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why July is the perfect time for a mid-year health reset How to stop letting the first six months define the next six Why busy schedules don't have to derail your progress How Amy stays consistent through travel, vacations, and family events What it means to declare your independence from starvation diets, punishing workouts, and all-or-nothing thinking Practical strategies for navigating holiday weekends without guilt The core habits that make the biggest difference after 50: Intermittent fasting Strength training Walking Drinking more water Choosing mostly whole foods Prioritizing sleep and recovery Why summer's longer days, fresh produce, and outdoor opportunities can actually make healthy living easier How starting now can lead to significant fat loss and improved health before Christmas and 2027 Ready for Your Next Semester? Enrollment is now open for Amy's next 6-Week FASTer Way to Fat Loss® Class for women 50+, beginning June 29 and running through August 9.
