Everything You NEED TO KNOW about WEIGHT LOSS at 50 and Beyond! ⚖️ Pahla B Fitness
Around here, we are all about making peace with your menopausal body. And one of the best ways to make peace is to get to a healthy weight that feels just right for YOU.
DOWNLOAD MY FREE E-BOOK, “The 5-0 Method: Weight Loss for Women over 50” here:
Twice in the last two years, I’ve found myself… I’m gonna say “unexpectedly” gaining weight, but I know exactly why it happened!
I was doing what every other fitness trainer in the world will tell you is the formula for LOSING weight – I was moving more and eating less.
And the thing that’s hilarious about this is that of course I know that eating less and moving more doesn’t work for women our age! In fact, it’s actually the reason why we start to GAIN weight during and after menopause! I’ve seen this proof over and over again with my fitness clients, and yet… I guess somehow I didn’t think it applied to me.
But as soon as I started applying the five simple steps of The 5-0 Method, I easily took the weight right back off.
The Five-OH Method is my proven weight loss formula, backed by science and personal experience, that works like a charm for women of a “certain age.” I call it “Five-OH” because there are five simple things to do every day, and nearly every day on your weight loss journey, you’ll find yourself exclaiming, “OH! I didn’t know that about losing weight,” or “OH! I had no idea it could be this easy,” or “OH! I just learned something new about myself today.”
Here are the FIVE THINGS you’ll do every single day:
Eat the RIGHT NUMBER of calories, every single day consistently
Drink the RIGHT AMOUNT of water, every single day consistently
Get an ADEQUATE AMOUNT of sleep, every single day… or night 🙂
EXERCISE MODERATELY every single day, and
You’re going to MANAGE YOUR MINDSET. Every single day.
You guys, there’s nothing here that’s ground-breaking or crazy. You’re absolutely, 100% capable of doing all of it! The biggest challenge here is THINKING about weight loss in a really different way than you’ve been taught to believe for years.
And that’s exactly why I’m here for you!
I’ve written a really comprehensive eBook that’s completely FREE for you to download — find it here:

❤ Pahla B
Pahla, you have really helped me change my mindset, from GO BIG or GO HOME, to be moderate and consistent every day. And I feel better physically and mentally (which gives the added benefit – I sleep better). Thank you
So excited for the new year! Thanks Pahla for what you have done for us all this year and for all you have planned for us in 2021 , Sara 🥰🌈
Folks this works! I lost 32 lbs in 2020 following Pahla. Prior had tried going to the gym 5 days a week with eating less and only lost 5 lbs in 9 months. I continue to follow and have maintained along with doing body shaping. Thank you Pahla for understanding us women of “a certain age” 💪🏻👍😀
Thank you for the encouragement. 🙂
That’s great to hear!
Love this!
I totally relate! I am 60 and I started my fitness and wellness journey in 2016 and am able to sustain my weight because I just really follow what I call a ‘happy fitness program’ where we don’t starve ourselves. It is a reward process, not a punishment process. 🙂
Thank you so much for the encouragement 🥰…I needed to hear this
Pahla, thank you SO much for all of the content you shared in 2020. I am looking foward to what you have in store for us in 2021. God bless and happy holidays to you and your family.
You are so welcome and Happy New Year!
Great advice! As I had posted on an earlier youtube, at age 68, in 2018, I had a health scare. It was then that I decided to “fix things” and have lost 51 pounds, from 172 to 121. Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? Absolutely! Wishing the best for all of us in 2021. We deserve it! Much love from Canada!
Good for you!!! and Happy New Year! <3
@Pahla B, Weight Loss Coach for Women over 50 Thank you, Paula. I encourage everyone to download your e-book. Much of what I did is mentioned. I think what’s most important is to eat what you like. Broccoli may be healthy but I’ve managed to live 70 years without it and there was no way I was going to start at this stage of the game! To anyone who is looking to lose weight, for whatever reason, always remember, you are worth it!
Wow, that is impressive. Congratulations on your hard work and success!! What time frame did you lose the weight, and how old are you?
@Dawn Busby Hi Dawn. I’ve tried a few times to reply. Hopefully this one will work!
Hi Dawn. Hoping you’re well. Thank you for your congrats and kind words! As I mentioned, I had a health scare in 2018. I was experiencing what I thought were heart attack symptoms, chest pain, etc. My father died at age 66 from a heart attack so I immediately thought I was dealing with the same issue. I was 68 at the time, 70 now. Also, I was on the receiving end of some very unkind comments about my weight. Re: how long it took, I would guess about a year or so. I really didn’t keep track. My thought was that it took time to gain it and so it will take time to lose it, if it’s done sensibly. I weigh myself every morning and keep track of my weight. I don’t know if that’s excessive but it works for me. I also keep a log of my exercise i.e. weights, biking, resistance so that if I miss too many days, I can try to get back to doing what I should. I was very close to having knee replacement surgery but losing the weight helped me to avoid that. I hope all of this information is helpful to you.
I needed a mindset change because I was doing too much exercise! Moderation is difficult but after doing the 31 days of the WLC, I get it! I wanted to lose 8 lbs and I have lost 3.5 in these 31 days, I can do this and that feels so good! Thanks, Pahla!💕
That’s so fantastic all the way around! Congrats!
Can’t wait for the new Weight loss series! Biggest Goal for 2021! Workout with Pahla!!!thank you so much for your channel! Love ❤️
I’m 44 and not yet menopausal, but I can tell my body is changing even in perimenopause. I’m so thankful for this series! It’s good to know we can be healthy and not beat our bodies up in the process.
Thanks Paula. I recently started a new exercise plan and have incorporated your videos. Today was my rest/yoga day and b/c I have grown to love cardio I actually did your moderate level Cardio Party this morning and really felt good. I love the idea of moderate cardio and it seems to be working. Thank you! I am going to start the March 7 day workout with you as well. 🙂
Pahla, you are the best! I am menopausal, with no thyroid. I love your advice that moderate exercise everyday is showing self love. Usually as women we give to others but tend to forget about ourselves. I have over 50 pounds to lose. Thank you for all that you do!
Hi, I am 60 and thyroid-less as well. Has Paula’s method worked for you?
Same, same. Trying to lose weight and retain muscle mass in a menopausal body with no thyroid is really, really hard.
Omg. I kind of began realize this after teaching Zumba for 6 years 5 days a week and…gaining weight? So yes. Thank you for making this a reality!!! Truly great. You rock!!
Hey what do you think the solution is for instructors? Not for me. Just curious cuz my Zumba instructor for last over 20 years is bigger and slower than ever. I rarely go now cuz she’s boring when she used to be so rocking and fun. I figured that it is due to too much exercise cuz she has a class or 2 most everyday and has for years. So, what is the answer? Stop instructing Zumba??
Day 1 – more calories, moderate exercise, lots more water, keeping that good sleep, and a setting in a brand new mindset. Here we go! 🤘 I wanna be a killer beeeeeeee!! 🐝
How is it going after a year? Love her workouts.
You are amazing and I love your video, Pahla! I am 60 years old and I have been able to happily and sustainably keep my weight at 111 lbs for the past 5 years. It has been a fitness journey and yes, you are right — it is not about eating less. It is about eating right, exercise, rest and a positive mindset. Love from Canada! I subscribed!
I’m late to this party but on day 2 and loving it! So fed up rolling around on the floor like a beached whale and getting nowhere so you exercise plan is perfect for me! I’ve downloaded the 5-0 method ebook (from the website if that link above doesn’t work) and currently reading through it to get all 5 golden rules in place! Thank you Pahla 🙂
Pahla, thank you so much for teaching us about our menopausal body! I’m learning so much from your YouTube videos ❤️
I’ve been doing the five oh method for several weeks now and really enjoying it. But one comment you made in this video really brought it home for me today. And that is consistency. Especially in eating. Rather than thinking about cheat days or splurge days it’s better to think about incorporating a treat or a “cheat” into your allotted calories for that day. That helps you not feel deprived and you are maintaining consistency. I love that! Thank you!
This is really helpful! Resilience and consistency and a strong Community of people support each other is so important! i used to do 45 spin lesson 3x per week and even though i loved it i feel like it was stressing out my body. I am peri-menopause and at 48 I realized that moderate ( even though we sometimes want to do longer workouts to see the results faster ) strength training at least 3x per week along with breathing exercises and stretching on the rest days has calmed down my mind and is helping me not only to loose the stubborn belly fat but getting my muscles stronger. I also added more protein to my meals. All the best to everyone! A healthy new year ❤

Started with your videos about 6 months ago and am so grateful for you! Not only the exercise videos, but the mindfulness you’ve brought to me about good form and true self care. You are a gem ❤ Thank you!
I stumbled upon your channel after some extreme cardio exercises I did. I’m glad I found you because I tell you, working out at 45 is not the same as I remember it in my 20’s or 30’s. Thinking it’s time to slow down and be gentle with my body. I love your approach and bubbly attitude. I’m gonna binge watch your content right now! You have definitely earned that subscribe, share & like from me! Thank you 😊
