Most people already understand the basics—move your body, eat well, rest, manage stress. The real challenge is staying motivated and consistent long enough to see results. This is where a health vision board becomes more than a creative exercise. When used intentionally, it becomes a powerful tool for focus, motivation, and long-term behavior change—helping you reconnect with your “why” on days when discipline feels hard.

Losing weight after age 50 really is more challenging.

The culprits include arthritis and other conditions that can affect stamina, mobility and balance; sleep and stress issues; dwindling muscle mass; and declining levels of the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone.  ​ The hormones that regulate appetite and satiety — such as ghrelin from the gut and leptin from fat cells — also have their way with us in middle age, making it even more challenging to stay true to a healthy eating plan. ​ That’s not to say...
